isn't is also great how "we should bomb fewer people and use some lube before we invite haliburton over" is translated into "lets dismantle our military and let people walk over us"? I understand the prepensity for americans to throw everything into dichotomies, but this just seems stupid.
It would make me relaly happy if at least 25% of the US population could realize that the world isn't all or nothing and that is is perfecty fine to have a smallish military, provide some socialized healthcare and fund SS and education without becoming a backwater communist police state with no military. It really doesn't seem that hard. I mean, SS is _still_ making money. The reason that it will run out so quickly is that we spent all of the money we put into it! (look it up, SS was taking in _way_ more than it was putting out for decades so whenever the government needed some cash, they would take a little from SS's extra, this is actualy how both bush and kerry plan to pay for their stuff)
hmm, maybe we could get out corporations under ourcontrol instead of the current reversed situation and then do some research on economic prosperity in a close world as oposed to just raping the earth until there isn't anything left for the future, and then if we did that maybe other people wouldn't hate us as much. I'd be kinda offended if someone's religion was stuffed down my throat and forced into my life, and consumerism is a religion, it has dogma and rule and rewards and we've shoved it onto the whole world, so I can understand why they are pissed. I don't agree with their means, but I would certainly be mad if hinduism was shoved at my every 20seconds if i were living in an aetheist country.
They are allowed to use our frequencies to make money, and if they wish to present political information over our property, it seems correct that it should be accurate and fair.
I don't hold the same view for books because then the company owns the property. The radio station is leasing the airwaves from us, and this seems like a very benificial clause that should be in the lease.
Us silly humans trying to fit things into scales that we can comprehend. Evolution will always occur, as there will always be determinates of fitness. I really doubt that we will see much in 1 or 10 generations, but long after we pass, if humans have not yet killed themselves, we will be biologically different. Perhaps in 6000 years we may look back at the pitiful little earthbound creatures from the oldest books that look a bit like us (neanderthal comparison? yeah we weren't related, but in terms of similarity) and perhaps in 60000 humans will look back and not really recognize where they came from. I really don't think that evolution is for one to see, it is a force that happens that we can look back on and wonder what was before.
I imagine it working where you would go to Barnes and Nobels and they'd have the printer there, but you could get anything, in print or out, and they would print it and bind it in 5 minutes.
But.. I can see them selling mostly crappy cheap books and rip us off if we actually want a quality book (acid free, decent binding, etc)
its _possible_ but you don't want to do it. (it'll sound crappy. Its of similar dificulty to automatically taking 2d images and making 3 models from them..)
definitions are funky things.. i'm just going off of how other countries have implemented single payor systems. I don't know of any that outlawed private healthcare (germany maybe thought about it) and some/many have private insurance for uncovered procedures (dental/eyes in canada)
I'm just glad that at least one canidate looks upon healthcare as a right instead of a priviledge. I even say this as a fairly healthy nonsmoking vegetarian, so I know that I will be fucked over and have to pay more than I get out.
single payor usually just means that the gov would negotiate prices as a single entity. Private care and even private insurance would most likely still be legal. (from looking at how others do it)
Slashdot Mirror
you have to be on it for a while for stuff to start working
not really much that i'm interested in on there tho, so it wasn't worth it for me.
NDA breaking discussions about the P4.. that would be cool
oh, you built your own? x86? alpha64? something custom? Did you put it on an fpga or get it blown?
oh wait... you _assembled_ your own computer?
um, okay

I vote that we fix SS, healthcare for all, edcation for all AND mars.
We just have to stop bombing so many people to pay for it.
I'm a bit left of Che and I'd probably vote for McCain over either of the two jokers we have as options.

Make the f^&$ers take an HDL course and learn verilog
it'd be cheaper to post a huge warning saying that they will disembowel anyone who posts the link on slashdot.
Intel engineers actually contend that the optimal pipeline is evne longer than the P4s
but for only $19.95 you can get GM grass that is even stronger!!!
Act Now!
20% off neon and glow in the dark strains!!!!!
I can't tell whether this would be good or not.

You could, but you don't want to. RT is normally done in order, and the P4 would be pretty slow if you ripped out the OoOness of it.
I really love how none of your follow ups seem to understand either your complaint or computer architecture in general.
If I was good at grammer, I'd pay more attention to what you say.
its _possible_ but you don't want to do it. (it'll sound crappy. Its of similar dificulty to automatically taking 2d images and making 3 models from them..)
well, it isn't the _only_ way. arguably the best, but be careful dismissing gentoo
oh, this is me. I didn't mean to AC it
low cost compact LCD projectors?
Not sure if it would work, but it would rock if it could.

easy, his definition of free is different than your's. Don't use such loaded terms, freedom has been driven into the ground.

No idea if this is what they meant, but I view quick as responsiveness and fast as overall speed. (latency vs throughput kinda)
Nah, Bush is lying again... they are both fascists.
Ever tried Bell's Beer out of Kalamazoo?
