I had a very similar conversation with tech support at sympatico.ca in southern ontario about their DSL service. I was calling to try and find out what my options were for creating an airport network through their pppoe DSL service. The network guy just said "sorry we don't do networking and I will not even listen to you"
So I hit the boards and found out how to set it up in a couple of hours. Pretty simple, there is only one configuration that works with their service.........I thought to myself....this guy should be paid to know this stuff. He should have recognized from my questions that he could learned something himself in our interaction but no, he is looking for any excuse not to help the customer. It is a pity that tech support is such a lowly position these days and they can't attract anyone who cares enough to do a good job anymore.
Meanwhile they are being paid more than most people will ever make! I guess the attitude is that "i don't care whether this company makes it, I don't like being nice to people, I would rather be playing diablo than talking to the scum of the earth.......fools"
That is a very scary idea! It may sound like an outrageous idea but this could become one of those elections that goes down in history as being validly contested as to it's outcome. Florida law apparrently calls for an automatic recount if the diff is less than 0.5% which by my math (possibly wrong) is ~28,000 votes. Which just happens to be the spread.
So florida hold the key to this election. Who wins it?
Either way both candidates have ~50% of the vote (electoral and popular) and no matter what is ultimately decided, the loseing team will gripe till the cows fall over.

This is a very doable project provided we have acess to windows source code. I'm not sure of the legalities but I'm pretty sure of one thing...MS uses GPL'd code in their products. Lets prove it and force them to make Office public domain. I could care less about the rest of their embrace and extend crap. If Office was free, we could be rid of them.
You are right about that. But since Apple is a hardware company I can't blame them. The truth is that to run OS X, you also need to be able to run their classic OS 9 emulation environment which requires xs RAM and CPU for decent performance. OS X itself requires more than many other OS's but then you gain quartz and aqua which IMO are worth it. So the minimum requirements for the Public Beta are a 233 MHZ PPC 750 and 128M of RAM. In reality you only need 64M of RAM unless you also want to emulate OS9. I'll be willing to bet that Apple builds in support for Macs with upgrade cards to allow legacy Macs to run OS X.
By the way, OS X is great, if you get the chance to make it your hobby OS for a couple of weeks I think you will be impressed.
First, I am not an American citizen and therefore it would be wrong of me to write to the campaign myself. If I had a vote it would go to Gore.
You should write to the Gore campaign and suggest that they mount a TV ad campaign to dispute the concept that Al exaggerates everything (Bush's favorite attack). If Kahn and Cerf really wrote this and really believe this, Gore should create a TV spot that begins looking like a Bush camp ad. The ad could be something like....4 seconds--Jay Leno or Letterman joking about Gore inventing the net...4 seconds--Bush ad-libbing about Gore's invention of the calculator....4 seconds--Al Gore's actual words in the origional statement....12 seconds..Kahn and Cerf state who they are and why what Gore said was correct...2 seconds...Al Gore--please listen to what I actually say and not what others say that I say......Gore for President..
Feel free to send this idea to anyone who may find it useful.
Just send a bunch of people up (mixed couples) and let them have kids...the kids that live, will be adapted to the environment and will propagate. Soon we'll have 8' tall space kiddies hackin our linix boxes from orbit......then, they will be the enemy, until then they are are our friends unless they live on europa!
Your opening was weak, but beyond J.H.C. you are spot on. It is in the nature of humanity to exploit every opportunity whether good or bad. Curiosity killed the cat...but have you heard..Cats have nine lives...have you met Schroedingers cat? Same dilemma. Humanity will expand until natural forces impose the will OF nature and starve us. Expansion to other planets is the only hope for the long term survival of the species. Your chemical weapons research bit was a bit far fetched but I'll forgive your inconsistancies cause the basic message is correct.

except EUROPA.
Attempt no landings there."
If you are having a baby soon and have a few grand to in the bank to spare, I suggest that you look into finding a hospital and doctor who will help you get the cord blood deposited in a cord blood bank. If your child ever gets any environment induced serious immune disorders or blood cancers this will likely save their lives. For that matter, if you or a close relative gets these kind of problems that cord blood may save you too. A quick google search finds the following Cord Blood Bank but I'm sure there are many. But you only have one chance to get it.
With more stem cell research, recently allowed by the NIH, the public will soon be able (I guess 10 years or so) to generate embryonic stem cells from your own somatic cells, skin cells etc., and allow you to donate all kinds of stem cells not just bone marrow stem cells to yourself or others without a marrow tap.
This is easily fixable. Prevent accounts from transferring more than 2 karma points per day back and forth (or prevent it all together). So you may respond that all it will take is a three (or four) account circle to bypass this. These are quite easily tracked too with a decent algorithym...abusers get kicked out for a month.
This idea can work. Lets start to build it and lobby Cmdr_Taco for his thoughts on it. It's a much better scheme than the complicated ordeal in the parent story.
Even if it is just an added option to the current system. To make this transparent the spender/s should be identified!?!!!! That would be really interesting and would prevent siggy from dominating moderation for the first couple of weeks.
Just think...do I spend on this comment and lose my +1 for the good of humanity? If it was done transparently this would be even more interesting as your moderations would tell as much about a person as their posts.
You buy a cluecat and give a fake name at R$. You creat a temp free e-mail acct at snotmail and complete your resistration to get your activation code. You think you are anonymous but the cluecat can now correlate your unique scan code with your IP number (even if it changes every time you connect) cluecat can now partner with doubleclick to figure out who you really are and correlate all your scanning with all your online browsing/purchasing.
Man...so much for privacy for the average person. I'm beginning to consider boycotting the net till we have some truly anonymous credit/debit card system like photocopier cards in wide use. ie Buy a card at the corner store with cash and have the ablility to add money to it anonymously from a bank machine at any time.
This tracking and correlating of everything we do on computers must stop! We need some laws against correlating this data to personally identifying databases and selling of those. Could be worth a letter to the man.

Tv shows that are broadcast to >200 countries and cause the rivetting attention of the audience lead to the dominance of the english language as to often, there are no equivalent words in the dubbed language and the english word or phrase is used. Net result--english speach begins to permeate the language and culture of the viewing country with little discrimination by wealth as most people have access to TV's but not internet connections.
The main difference between the 60's space program and now is that we don't have a sputnik to spur us on....and no cold war. I think that if the EU or Russia or China was threatening to launch a manned mission to Mars soon then George and Al would be stumping about the next great thing America should do.....land a "Person" on another planet/moon. The public would eat it up like cheesy puffs and just get fatter.
LNAWTBFEUOA: Linux nerds are worse than biochemists for excessive usage of acronyms.
My yeast-2-hybrid system wasn't working yesterday because I added too much EDTA to my HEPES buffer. This caused a pH overload and resulted in my PIPES ppt'ing. I checked for proteases with PMSF and found to my surprise that I had a HIV virus in my T-cells. Well, batteries never last long anyway. If I could just increase the resolution of my Yeast-2-hybrid screen I could do away with the T-cells all together and use the B-cells. If only they would respond to MHC complexes (type II that is). The network issues here are just toooo cytoskeletal for my CNS dude!!!!!
Disclaimer: I understand ~1/2 of the acronyms on this thread and now I know how elite I must sound somtimes.
Forget phonenumbers and addresses, if doubleclick started selling info to the general public I could probably find out what anyone has browsed in the last few months and have a pretty good idea of their online interests.
A transparent web (all identies and actions known) would probably be a much less interesting place as people would become afraid to post anything anywhere or even visit potentially questionable sites.
People like Signal 11 or Vladinator, who put more info about themselves online than even I care to know, are on the other (exhibitionist) extreme...they must be fearless or stupid (perhaps both). I'll bet neither will be proud of their online records (held cached in searchengines for eons) in 10 or 20 years. Imagine if someone cracks into slashdot and reveals all the true identies of the people posting here under pseudonyms (like me) who post thinking they are effectively annonymous.
I'm sure there are many like me here that egosurf once in a while just to check that there are no unexpected suprises from the past showing up on line.
On the other hand, if all information about everyone was available online (including surfing and posting history) mabey people wouldn't take this privacy shit so seriously and others might even be surprised that you haven't ever looked for porn on the web or be surprised that you don't have any un-PC opinions about any topic.
I wish we could all be completely free with all thoughts, fearless of what anyone else thought of our thoughts. But the majority of us fear the thought police and are afraid of what can be found out about us on line. Fscking political correctness, it really sucks.
Disclaimer: I am sitting here with by laptop cooking my balls as I type this.

I wonder if the heat effects on balls are more than just temporary.
MAYBE OOG GO ON TO DOMESTICATE OTHER PLANTS LATER, INVENT CONCEPT OF AGRICULTURE AND BUILD BASIS OF CIVILIZATION BY ALLOWING CAVEMEN TO LIVE IN ONE STABLE PLACE WITHOUT HAVING TO MOVE!!!
It is widely believed among anthropologists that civizilation arose in societies with agriculture...which arose from people growing food to ferment into alcohol! They didn't invent large scale agriculture to grow food for themselves or for the benefit of others in their community! No they did it for selfish reasons....to get drunk and obtain favours from others by trading the first comodity, alcohol (well mabey second, after sex).
Napster is a real problem for the record biz. It cost way too much to litigate all those little hosts of illegal music appearing and disapearing daily.
If ISP's had an easy way to log the MB's of MP3's(or DVD's) downloaded by people and combine that with an analysis of the popular bands by download sampling (ala Nielson ratings from server logs at random), charge a premium for MP3/DVD downloads to the customer and the ISP's pay a "protection from procecution" fee to the MPAA et.al. that gets redistributed to the artists and I think we could have a system that allows artists to get revenue for their creations and let people pay as they play.
I think it is likely that people would end up paying relatively little for their MP3's (~20cents a download) and ~$1DVD. People could even install programs that monitor downloads by content type and even whether the file was played >50% of content to allow people to settle disutes with their ISP.
Of course this would stratify ISP's along the lines of MP3/DVD enabled/legal and those that can't afford to keep track of such data.
So, a question to the network gurus out there....Is it possible to monitor net traffic of MP3's/DVD's in real time? Any other ideas for a fair system that allows certain data types to get charged a bandwidth fee?
Funny...this is the opposite of how Slashdot has their site and Banner ads configured. You immediately see the banner ad (servered up by one of 4 bitchin ad^h^h image servers) and you wait for the text to appear.

This sentiment may seem anathema to many but I for one believe it is true. Any sentient being that can discover how to alter themselves wil try to! At the present it is not a huge worry nor is it likely to be for a generation or two but the day will come when you and your wife will be able to create an embryo, derive embyonic stem cells from this embryo and alter the genes at will to remove predispositions to illness, enhance intelligence, add physical prowess of desired nature (able to live to low gravity, fast reflexes, great eyesight, physical durability to hot or cold or dry conditions etc.) and then create a new embryo from these cells giving the desired features to the resultant child. Of course the environment the child grows up in will be pivotal to the expression of these traits and mabey we will try and control that too.
However, this scenario will only be available to the wealthy and powerful for many years to come and will ultimately increase our genetic diversity. Our societies will become fragmented at the fringes along genetic class lines as initially people will be trying to design individuals with extreme phenotypes. As others have stated, time will allow natural selection to occur on this population and those that reproduce rapidly will come to dominate. Soo a few predictions:
Super fertile and horny men and women able to concieve between ages 8 and 200 with strong parenting instincts will become the dominant group (numbers wise).
Uber Smart people will not become dominant in numbers (they will generally not want to be burdened with families and the thought drain they represent) but instead will live lives tormented with mental disease since it will take scientists millennia to discover the environmental conditions that allow the intelligence endowed to thrive and support self reproduction.
People will segregate into classes based on their particular genetic choices making future alteration of their genes to other class types more difficult as generations continually hone their genetic niches (warriors, workers, artists, scientists, space colonists, the beautiful media celebs, pragmatic politician leaders {I hope this group and the media celebs can be kept separate}, organizers etc.)
All the while, the majority of people on earth (but less so elswhere) will continue to have kids by the "traditional" route keeping a solid genetic diversity base to work from.
We will ultimately have a society that is more diverse than when we began and thus should be better adaptable to future environmental demands.
The crux of what I'm trying to say here is that the genetic alterations will be made on a choice basis by affluent parents for their offspring and the majority of the worlds people will likely continue as they have since the dawn of mankind.
I look forward to such a world, even if I was a worker specialist.
