What ever happened to being innocent until proven guilty? It has yet to be determined what Sklyarov did was a violation of the DMCA! This is what we are up against - bad reporting!

I much rather have a 900Mhz 64-bit processor that works over Intel's abortion. Plus the fact that the UltraSparcIII is superscalar to 1024, leaves Intel eating Sun's bits.
I'm going to refuse to give out any personal information from now on. If they want my business, they'll have to trust me and not me trusting them. Since it seems obvious that we can't trust them.
No laws or as few as possible is the answer. If you can't do it in the US then you can go somewhere else to do it. A lot of environmentalistic call this "the race to the bottom"
Now, come on, is Amazon's one-click shopping an original idea? Not really!
I believe that patents and copyright has the opposite effect then what they are intended for. They are there to encourage people to be creative and inventive. However, they have put a strangle hold on invotation. We should be evolving on what people have already come up with, instead of figuring out a slightly different way to do it or reverse engineering it.
We'll continue to demand new releases from our music artists. It is all about supply and demand. If there is a demand, people will pay for it.
Another example, I can download any of the current releases that are in the theater. I occasionally check them out. However, watching Star War at home is lame compared to watching it on the big screen.
I'm surprized that the open-source community hasn't embraced Harry Browne and the Libertarain party.
Money talk, bullshit walks.
I'm sure Afganistan would have no problem with setting up a server there, if you paid them enough. Especially, if it is going to piss off the US
13% of African Americans cannot vote because of the drug war. No wonder why the Repubs like the drug war so much. African Americans are much more likely to vote Democrat.
Voted for Harry Browne. I was one of the first people to vote at my polling station. I feel a vote for Harry Browne is a vote for net rule. National governments need to take a lesser role in the global system. There are no boundary anymore. If you can't do it in the US then you can go do it in a country that doesn't have any laws against it.
I filled out the census for myself and my roommate. Before the census, I received a bunch of junk mail but my roommate never got anything. My name is on so many things so I've come to expect the junk. After I filed the census, my roommate and I started to get the same identical junk mail.
I'm never filling out the census again. It is a waste of time and money for both me and the taxpayers. The census is so 1700's. Today, we could do a statistical sampling and have more accurate results. I always thought that it was funny when they said that only 47% of the people in an area filled it out. If you already know how many people there are, why are you counting them?
What really frustrates me is that I can only donate a $1,000 to Harry Browne. This is so archaic. I'm sure there are bunch of libertarian software developer making 6-7 digits a year. We need to have this system changed.
Do you believe we should protect the rainforest? Do you believe that spraying Columbia's rainforest with herbicide is counter-productive?
Do believe that we have started an un-win-able Vietnam War in Columbia?
I have caller Id, so I know 95% of the times if its going to be a telemarketer. So, when I pick up the phone I immediately asks them for their name. If you starled them about 50% of the times they'll give it to you. Then I hop on people.yahoo.com and do a quick lookup and ask them if they mind if I'd call them at 555-5555. Talk about having a moment of revelation on the phone. Then sound especially nutz, like telling them about the great deal you have on flux capacitors.
But seriously, how much longer will AT&T be around? You can currently make higher quality calls for free. Sure, AT&T own much of the wires that is the backbone of the net. According to some of my own calculations AT&T had its hayday. Their growth rate is severely limited by the facts that communication is getting cheaper($/mbps), technology is reducing costs, faster computers means better compression which equals better utilization of the lines. The killer app that is going to demand massive amount of bandwidth is on-demand video. Though, I believe we'll build technology that handle distribution better then the current PPP model. I'm not sure if the technology will be a Gnutella style app or more like usenet on steriods. Basicly, AT&T needs to stop acting like an old tire corporation and using time tested approaches like slamming and repeatably calling you during dinner. Boycott all of the phone companies!
It would be cool to set it up to rip 6-10 CDs then burn it to one CD(DVD). Then this CD would go into your library. Build a server that could do chaching and look ahead loading on the CDs in the library.
We live in a very specialized society. Scientists do the research then writes a journal article (sometimes I wish they would stick to doing the research and let techinical writers document it all). Then a journalist comes along and paraphase the journal for the general public. Application engineers and other scientists read the journal article and goes, "huh, I bet I could expand on this research or I could use this research." They talk to the bean counters about getting some funding. The cycle repeat. In conclusion, its not the scientists responsiblity to find applications for their research.
Normally my code-blocks comes in the design stage and not in the implementation stage.
If you are in the design stage, you should be as far away from the computer as you can possible be. The design stage is the index card, yellow sticky, blackboard part. It is critical to have another person with you. Having other people around has several effects. A list of what a group brings to a design.
Staying focus
Someone to say "you are getting hung up on the details"
additional ideas
finding flaws
documentations
re-assurance
Staying in the big picture view
faster personal growth Once a solid design is hammered out that you feel confidence about, the coding is like taking a walk in the park.
Though, a lot of us are solo contractors. I believe that you are slowing your growth as a developer if you are doing it all on your own. Its nice to have full control over everything. I would suggest biting the bullet and either finding a partner, or joining a software firm.

You're a Genius. Thats my plan too, except I drink Hacker-Pschorr, because of the hacker in me.

90% of African Americans voted for Gore.

Was it drug related?

You might want to give your local board of election a call.
You should had gotten an absentive ballot. I normally do that, anyway.

Secure Shuttle I have downloaded and used it. I really wonder how secure it is.
It would be cool to set it up to rip 6-10 CDs then burn it to one CD(DVD). Then this CD would go into your library. Build a server that could do chaching and look ahead loading on the CDs in the library.
TEMs use electron beams to take pictures at resolutions down to a few nanometers, at a speed of several frames a second - enough to construct a video.
I love to see this video. Then need to release an MPEG of it.

I remember searching the code to Adventure (Colosasal Cave) in hopes of getting me out 'You are in a twisty maze of passageways, all alike.'
Heck anything that gets kids into programming, can't be that bad of a thing.
