that was a hit before your mother was born, though she was born a long long time ago, your mother should know [your mother], your mother should know.
And I don't know which is more frightening: the fact that media conglomerate corporations want to own the copyrights for that length of time, or the fact that they are raping my childhood comic books looking for the next 'sure fire hit.'
I am sure that the powers that be will remake '20,000 Leagues Under The Sea' simply because it was once a hit, however minor. (It was futuristic a century or so ago. Who cares that all of the tech since then has changed?)
I'm waiting for the mall to musak over... oh wait, they've already done that with the shopping days/holidays.
Eventually I can see 'hit factory software' using digital actors and digital scenery to reproduce digitized old movies (Some of the dialog is StarWars was so bad, delivery by a machine would be an improvement.)
In one fell swoop, he got rid of the incentive for virus writers. I now have a firewall thatis and that's going to remain bulletproof.
As for dropping Apple? Like, I'm going to go to Dell, right? Nope! Dell looks like [expletive deleted] compared to Apple stuff. And I like to see my stuff as well as work on it.
PowerPC? Intel (though I wish I knew if its 32 or 64 bits wide, I got BIG problems to solve,)? What's the difference? [puts on asbestos shorts...:-]
Apple is not married to AIM (Apple, IBM, Motorola) so let 'em use the latest 64bit offering from IBM (and maybe 'suggest' some AltiVec extensions to the chips)
As long as Apple retains its production facilities, QA, R&D and control over the hardware, swapping CPUs doesn't mean a thing to Joe Schmoe.
I just bought a G5 iMac do I care that in a few years I'll be switching to an Intel chip (or AMD? Competition gets prices down:-)
Ultimately no, it really doesn't matter any more than it did when they switched off of the 680x0. Or when they switched from Mac OS10 to OS X.
They've proved very wise at fixing flat tires while the car is racing down the track.
Just wait and see... If Apple was having enough trouble with IBM to make switching worth it, you got to wonder what Microsoft didn't know when they got into bed with IBM.
And IBM may just be stringing Gates along by his privates just before they cut him off. They're a software and service company now. They just happen to still make great hardware but they could be planning something Phirric for the PowerPC.
Yesterday night somebody was in my Linux box playing with my files. And I could have sworn I had no malware.
Luckily he was limited because he has using a user account and he screwed up causing system beeps (I shut down my server right away because I COULD) but its an ominous sign of things to come.
Hmm. You must have the brain control of a Zen master.
I regret to inform you that communication and control in the average human being is so full of "uh uh"s and "ya kno"s in thought as well as in speech that trying to use one would be far more exhausting that just typing the [expletve deleted]words in. (Just eavesdrop in on to the average conversation. Phew!)
Not everybody has mush for brains but since the name of the game is that technology should make us more productive, I think that direct control is out.
And enforce the switch by coercing any.com or.org or.net (or.bix +++) domains over to a.xxx TLD with a single page telling them that the address is an adult.xxx site.
The site content could/should/would let 'em know pretty quickly if they belong at.xxx.:-)
Whether they then want to continue is up to them.
Because of their content and the intent of that content (and the fact that they don't hand them out to any schmuck,).edu sites should all be permitted)

a thing of the past. You already have to watch out when opening hand addressed mail for anthrax and shit like that but you have just lowered the bar for spreading viri.
Now it doesn't have to come by an email either.
Send something that looks like junk mail to a congressman's home in the winter and you can just see the trail of death and destruction because the ink itself could kill you. (ebola 'flavoured' ink anyone?)
I don't think this is too smart but the cat's out of the bag now. Pretty soon we're going to need transparent exo-skins to do anything. (Think about it.)
There's no labour (except for an occasional bunch of totally dependent astronauts,) and there's absolutely no markets (except for an occasional bunch of totally dependent astronauts.)
There are also no advantage of resources. There is nothing up there that we can't find here.
Why the heck do we want to go?
Because it there...
But don't try to justify it. (Accountants of the soul need not apply.)
Here I am trying to write intelligently about the structure of on-line apps (and you NEED a/. break to clear you mind from all the BS you've just been spouting,) and this little kid's voice comes on and utterly blows my cool.
The links should have carried a warning, in BOLD and red.
Like England (at one time) France, Germany (twice with gusto!) Japan, Korea, Russia (well the USSR,), Canada (we did burn the White House down,) most of South America (manifest destiny and all that good shit.)
Yesterday's political expedience is today's political liability. (The Shah of Iran is a case in point, as is Saddam Hussein immediately after.)
The card is the better to watch your ass with. No other excuse. But then again, it, combined with the degree of surveilance that's out here today, might make it impossible a get away with anything.
That means YOU Mr. Politician. Your ass can't get away with anything either. (Talk about turning on the light in a darkened, dirty kitchen.)
You could even a colonoscopy with every ID check as part of the reader would be required to get shoved up your ass (just like the law requiring you to have one got shoved down your throat.)
I can just imagine 'road side checks' would be a lot more contested. Its one thing to 'walk in a staight line' its quite another to have to 'bend oer' in public.
Oh... Wait a minute. They're already making you do that at the airport...

I hate to point out that people have already built super-computers with Macs.
With the speed bump that using the intel chips will give, look for them to get higher in the list.

Its all just filler between the ads on TV anyway.
I dropped out of the 'BUY NOW!!" rat race years ago and I am not suffering for it. (I'm even prospering a bit. Go figure?)
I really hate it when this happens.
What's gonna be next? Viri in the article? Spam? Adware?
Check the links out before posting 'em.

the name TOTALly.
Maybe I could hire somebody who can 'REMEMBER IT FOR ME WHOLESALE.'
I think Smalltalk is a veritable chameleon compared to Lisp. Its the class libraries doan'chyano.
I like Lisp [first program I wrote in Lisp was code that accepted an EBNF syntax and generated a Lisp parser] but not that much.
and now all they need is a computer and some software to tie it together. Yea. Sure. Its easy.
(Its gonna be such a bOmB. I don't want to see the collateral damage but I know somebody's gonna get fired over this...)

slope" returns too many indeterminate results.
Though "Frog Soup" returned a couple of sites of interest and a meal idea I want to try next time I'm in Nor'lans.
Next time, give a few more search tems.
How many gummint form and non-gummint forms ask "Have you ever been arrested?"
It doesn't ask "Were you ever subject to illegal search and seizure by a couple of brain-damaged border guard?"
The result of the arrest would be expulsion!
That's the reason I've kept my nose scrupulously below the radar down here. Clean ain't enough!
You could even a colonoscopy with every ID check as part of the reader would be required to get shoved up your ass (just like the law requiring you to have one got shoved down your throat.)

Oh
I don't think that a cadre of suicide bombers has a 401k and that they get into it because of the dental plan.
That's what is scary about it.
Good motivator, fear...
"How To Be A Gynacologist." (BIG geek appeal.)
But the next program in the series is a bit of a let down. Its on "How to reconcile the Russians and the Chinese"
Now where can I get the 'flyer list' and cross out the names of all the ugly, fat people.
I think that we should demand the right to fly naked and get speeded up to the front of any security check point.
If the religious establishment objects, they can just hold their ankles to get inspected for 'security.'
Unfortunately, GM and General Tire took those choices away from you in the nineteen fifties.
Tearing up all of the tracks, the hundreds, the thousands of miles of tracks, was the WORST thing that ever happened to America.
Its brought us to this impasse.
