How do you "throw money" at a cheap computer that doesn't run Windows?

Recently, Microsoft has thrown money at running TV spots advertising the thousands of applications and devices compatible with Windows, cementing the (true) conception that support for store-bought devices in GNU/Linux and *BSD isn't up to par. Microsoft could also (allegedly continue to) throw money at makers of devices to agree not to cooperate with maintainers of GNU/Linux driver subsystems such as SANE.

I'm an American, and I'm quite sure that we have exactly one mile, of 5,280 feet, called the statute mile.

Mariners use for navigation a nautical mile, which is roughly 6076.115 feet. Its length is set by the diameter of the earth. One nautical mile along the equator equals one minute East or West of Greenwich. The nautical mile was dreamed up by the British. Unless you are navigating a boat, you don't need to know any of this.

You can say that last bit about most of the tangle of traditional weights and measures: if you need them, you'll use them often enough to remember them, and there's no confusion or mystery. If you don't need them, they're quaint curiosities that you needn't know about. The traditional units evolved because they served a definite purpose, and they are the handiest thing for the specific job for which they were intended. A ``one size fits all'' unit doesn't fit most things very well.

Take a look at my bookmarks on metrification for some interesting articles on this.

... and this is what makes miles something really repulsive to me.

I think it's your imagination that's making things repulsive.

Way off. I think Ep III was referring to this guy, *the* Commando Cody. When I saw that this character existed in the Star Wars universe, I was at first upset, thinking Lucas was a lazy SOB, but now think it's just a nod to classic sci-fi.

It isn't widely publicized -- although it does leak into the mainstream media, occasionally, as in this case -- but thousands of people are reporting that criminals are using microwave radiation to attack them.

This is not just in the USA -- also in Britain, France, Germany.

For example, Germany: http://www.mikrowellenterror.de/ .

Almost all the posts I've scanned, at least those that are on topic, immediately dismiss these people's claims as absurd.

WHY? I'm sure you could easily modify a microwave oven yourself, and use it to harass your neihbors, if you wanted. I guess if you have such an inclination, you now know you are safe to go ahead. Anyone who complains about your attacks will be dismissed as paranoid. Hey, why not place a microwave oven where you can activate and control it by remote, and give this theory a test. It will be almost impossible for you to be caught, so why not?

Potential military and covert use of microwave radiation is an active area of research. (Obviously not just microwave, but rather all forms of beamable radiation. Actually, implanted devices as well.)

I believe I am a victim of involuntary experimentation in this research, my story is at http://www.geocities.com/mrmistermicko .

I can't believe how much nicer the Internet is with Firefox and this single extension.

Indeed. I think I've seen exactly one ad since I installed Adblock and grabbed the filters here. Zero popups. It's been months.

I'd say thats a bigger discovery.. a fly that looks like a bee!

A bit late for that:

Bee Fly

You can tell it looks like a bee because it's fat and fuzzy, unlike the insect in the flower picture, but here's one that looks like a wasp:

Sorry, but science has already been there and done that.

A rapid depressurization at high altitude in any plane can mean a number of people pass out and die before they have a chance to put on their mask.

If for some reason the crew cannot put on masks rapidly then their capacity to react can become impaired due to hypoxia, even if the depressurisation is not rapid. This
might be a useful reference.

Dynamic Relational may be a solution to some of the problems raised. Columns and tables could be "created" on the fly. Another improvement is to replace SQL with a better relational query language. Alternatives include Tutorial-D and my pet, SMEQL (originally called TQL but found a name overlap).

There has, of course, been decades of debate among philosophers about the possibility of scanning your consciousness into a computer. One of the most enlightening, and entertaining reads is Daniel C. Dennet's essay, "Where Am I?".

Imagine it: you go to the clinic, attach the appropriate nodes to your skull, or whatever, and the process begins. Some time later, the clinician says, "Thats it, we're done. Your mind is now in the machine. Have a nice death." Now do you feel OK about dying? You're still going to die. It will be a painful experience, and at the end of it, you'll be dead.

The knowledge that a simacula of your mind exists in the computer network will probably offer little comfort to your sense of impending doom. That your friends and family will be able to communicate with it, and perhaps therefore feel better about your death, may be ease your concerns about them. But as for yourself - you're still a soon-to-be corpse.

The second approach is to hack into the computers of American national laboratories. Here, Taiwanese hackers often help Beijing. Of course, there are also hackers that hail directly from mainland China.

hehehhhh hhehehhh

The OpenBSD folks must ensure that all Taiwanese code is carefully examined for Trojan horses and other malware that the Taiwanese deliberately planted. The best thing to do is to simply ban the use of Taiwanese code.

As well, the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition regularly assesses computer companies to determine whether they have good environment policies and respect for workers' rights. Chinese companies (including those in Taiwan) consistently fail on both counts. Why should we condone this sort of behavior by working with the Taiwanese?

Like the Chinese, the Taiwanese have long supported the occupation of Tibet.

Our conscience requires us to reciprocate by banning the Taiwanese from participation in the Open Source movement.

Does anyone actually still use Perl? Isn't that a dead language kinda like Cobol?

Obligatory Futurama Quote:

Farnsworth: And this is my universal translator. Unfortunately so far it only translates into an incomprehensible dead language.

Cubert: Hello.

Universal Translator: Bonjour!

Farnsworth: Crazy gibberish!

It's not that I don't want people to make good content, it's that I don't want the content providers to be selling my attention. If someone wants to show me an ad, they can pay *me* for my time. Until that point, I will continue to use the latest AdBlock Filters.

Not surprisingly, Indonesia also has a high piracy rate. Indonesia does have a large Chinese population and is heavily influenced by Chinese culture.

No, this one. A TV movie; check your cable listings, it's played occasionally.

try going back and watching IV now. Now that I've been spoiled by good choreography, watching Alec Guiness mince about, gingerly swatting at an equally wooden Darth Vader, makes me want to cry.

Reminds me about part of the Vader Monologues, with Anakin as a "good voice" within Vader's head:

(Vader and Kenobi continue their battle, blades sizzling and crackling.)

VADER: (aloud) Your powers are weak, old man.

A: Ha! Look who's talking! You're not exactly a spring chicken yourself...

V: Hey, I'm still a badass!

A: Suuuuuuure you are. What happened to all those kicks and flips and stuff you used to be able to do?

V: Well--

A: If Yoda were here, he could whip the pants off of both of you--and he was nine hundred years old, for crying out loud!

V: Hey, Kenobi isn't exactly jumping around anymore, either.

A: Yeah, I know. Sad, really. I'm just going to step out and grab you guys a couple of rocking chairs, okay?

V: Zip it.

A: Try not to break a hip while I'm out, all right?

Is Kibo's .sig file up to 10MB already? Seems like only yesterday that it was merely a few hundred kilobites.

Balootooth?

Baloo being the bear, and a gray colored one at that. Although some screen grabs made him look blue...

Actually I think maybe he looks more like Daniel Webster, Pablo Picasso or maybe John Quincy Adams.

I can give at least a couple of links to places that talk about THX-1138:

http://www.geocities.com/drazzaia/history.html
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Bungalow/3577/l ucasnofrm.html

While I will admit that the initial release wasn't a huge success, it wasn't that difficult to break the production costs of $777,777 for TXH-1138. Even now that is considered an independent film budget. All I said was that it made back that money. Certainly Geroge Lucas was not a millionaire due to that movie.

The whole concept of when does a film make a profit is a meaty issue in Hollywood anyway, and subject to a bunch of interpretations and lawsuits.

And it is clear that American Zoetrope, through Francis Ford Coppola, was impressed enough with THX-1138 that they were willing to risk another attempt by George Lucas. Otherwise, he would never have been given the chance to try again.
