Re Similar to VT100 AnimationI looked at one of the examples, and it looked like a VT100 animation (maybe with sound, but I had sound turned off). Is there more to these than just text bouncing around the screen? I'm sure there is... maybe I looked at the wrong example. Here's a bunch of vt100 animations.

Re:bugzilla linkI think it's that particular bug that is effecting my service provider's admin page. After upgrading to 1.2 of Mozilla... I had to start using IE just to admin my site.
I agree with them taking down Mozilla 1.2 until they fix it. If this bug causes wide-spread enough problems (wide-spread enough that I've already encountered it!), then nobody else should download it until it is fixed.

This still works on Mozilla 1.2 -
Re:Other resourcesSuper Mario Sunshine is a blast to play. I played it for about a week straight when I first got it. I also really like Pikmin. When I first got that game... I thought it was extremely boring. But then I gave it one more chance before I was going to sell it on Ebay... and I got addicted. I ended up playing it for about a week straight as well. Those games are well worth it (but you probably already have them).
As for the Game Boy Advance... I already sold mine on Ebay. I couldn't stand it. It gave me a terrible headache.

Re: Because of version 1.0...Version 1.0 of nearly all products are:

Games I never finished.At first, I thought this was a list of games that were never won. By anyone. I know that Pacman was finally completely won... but I don't know if Asteroids was ever won. I know there are a lot of games that I've never won. Pitfall, Castle Wolfenstein, Sonic, to name a few.

Too much efficiency means less money..."... Back to music and text publishing. Expect both industries to offer peer-to-peer systems that won't work very well, and will cost us something instead of nothing."
This is a classic problem. If the music industry makes it too easy to get music... then they'll lose money. It doesn't make sense at first... but it's like being too good of a system administrator. If you do your job too well... the company won't need you anymore.

Sun is helping Apache... but where is Sun going?
From ApacheCon Day 3: "Fowler noted the major contributions Sun has made not only to Apache and related projects such as Tomcat, but also in non-Apache related projects such as the Gnome desktop and OpenOffice.org."
I believe Sun is having a hard time finding a direction, right now. Hardware? Software? Work on free stuff? Beat Microsoft? I wonder where they are going to end up.

The screens are the right size...
That's why the media loves them. And that's why I think I would love it. I don't like my PDA because the screen is too small. I don't like to surf the net on my phone because the screen is too small. I want something that is about the size of a piece of paper. Microsoft did not invent it... but they will get the word out (the bastards).

Harvest the moon? What I imagine that mean...One way to harvest the moon: Shave it into 1 trillion billion moon slices. Then ship all of that back to Earth. After that initial work... all we would have to do is strip mine the resulting moon heap. I propose we put that moon heap into your backyard. I certainly don't want that heaping pile of moon in my backyard.

Unemployed? Learn to think!I'm sure many of you got into this business during the boom. You learned how to employ quick-fix algorithms (such as adding an ending table tag to your HTML, or adding a sub-query to your JDBC call). But now those skills are useless... because your unemployed. During this critical time... go and learn some low-level things that will teach you to think. In a few years or so... when your ending table tag skills are useful again... then you'll add the ending tables smarter than your peers.

Still haven't overcome classic problem: My cat.If I tried to teach it to do the dishes... it would probably put my cat in the dishwasher. If I tried to teach it to do the laundry... it would probably put my cat in the dryer. If I tried to teach it to vacuum... then the cat would probably use kitty-ninja-claws to destroy it. When will these problems be fixed? I implore you!

Many ISP's is better than one big ISP.
Q. Why isn't there a single successful Australian IT company competing and shining on the world stage? Can you name one?
A. I think that's a bit misleading in some ways. I don't know if you should put all your eggs in one basket. In many ways it's better to have a series of smaller companies coming through.
... That is truncated. I agree with that statement. The net was probably better off in the US when there were many small ISP's (rather than just AOL, AT&T, etc).

Fingernails, cream cheese, and gravy.Another dupe. Here are some funny sentences to pass the time. These cannot be beat:

Microsoft argues they are as good as open source"This week, the Initiative for Software Choice counterattacked, telling the Defense Information Systems Agency that the Pentagon should not "openly promote the use" of open-source software, arguing that proprietary products are not inherently less secure."
That emphasis is mine. Nothing in the article indicates that Microsoft said their products were better than open source. In this particular case... Microsoft is arguing that their software is as good as open source software.
I think its funny that Microsoft didn't say that their stuff is better. They can only argue that their stuff isn't worse.

Light cones and the edge of the universeFrom the article: "... gazing upward and knowing that there are countless stars we cannot see because not enough time has passed since the birth of the universe for their light to shine our way; they are beyond our light cone."
This would seem to indicate that if we looked out far enough into space, we would see nothing. We've yet to find any boundary. When will we? When I was about 10 years old... I remember reading on the side of my McDonalds Happy Meal box that we'd see the "edge" of the universe within the decade. Why haven't we found it yet?

Guess your sex using only one question. -
The best thing to do? Act local, think global.What we can do is try to be the best democracy in the world, and try to be the best capitalists in the world. If we continue doing that, then that will give us the wealth and opportunity to also be the best philanthropists and teachers in the world.
In the short run, I don't think it makes any difference that some entrepeneurs are making money from the tyrants. In the long run, those who are oppressed by tyranny will eventually be freed by nothing but knowlege.

Mainstream on the server-side: Everyone uses!The majority of the net infrastructure is open source... and everyone uses that. Right? A more modern example of an open source success story is dmoz.org. That site is quickly becoming a large part of the back-end infrastructure of many search engines (such as google).

"the last drop that made the network overflow"... just one more wafer
Overall, as long as patient care wasn't diminished (the degree of diminishment is debateable), it is probably good that things like this occasionally happen. It's a great way to test non-technical systems that usually only get tested in a wide-spread disaster.

Don't like Disney, Don't like anime, but I like...I rarely like Disney movies, and I'm not a harried fan of anime... but I thought Spirited Away was great! I was lucky that a friend of mine recommended it... and I was lucky that it was actually being shown within a 100 mile radius. Even when the plot was occasionally below my intelligence threshold, the beautiful animation and soundtrack kept me watching and listening.

It's simple: Less Security = More ConvenientThe rule of "less security = more convenient" applies in nearly all situations... and it applies here as well. The only way to increase the security in this particular situation is to de-centralize the big hubs. But that will be very inconvenient to the big companies that own the hubs. There are few reasons to do inconvenient things.

3D glasses will make me go 3D blind?I see lots of comments about people getting headaches, and such from 3D glasses. What about them hurts your head? I know that when I went to see that IMAX space station movie... I had a slight-headache afterwards. I figured it was because of trying to keep the head gear from slipping off my forehead.

Make lawmakers publish all their stuff first...I propose that all lawmakers make their own data be part of this "Total Information Awareness" technology. They should test out the system on themselves before they test it on me.
They can start by filling out this - Test - and making the results be available for all. I'm sure many of us would be surprised at the results of some of our lawmakers.
