In the trailers for the movie, AI, Steven Spielberg talks about how he and Kubric communicated to each other through fax machines kept in locked closets. Says a lot about the sad twisted state of mind these folks have, "Oh my God, someone is going to STEAL my idea!", they think to themselves as if they have the one or two true insights in the universe. The universe is not so poor, but people who talk to each other through fax machines might be. And these are the people who would shape the future of general computing with DRM.
The problem is NOT that Kangaroo Jack "makes it to theaters". The problem is that someone has the power to shove it onto everyone's screens while other quirky stuff never gets filmed and the vast majority of things that do get filmed never see a screen. The article's author gives us, "The truth is, I don't belong here. I am not a Hollywood player." The real truth is that there should be no such thing as a Holywood player. Theater owners should be independents who are able to pick and choose films suited to their own audience. In reality, some dorks in LA make a playlist.
And apart watching an LED display tick up to Mach 2, there is no particular experience of "speed"; you just feel like you're in a cramped, uncomfortable airplane, flying a little higher than normal.
You have to wonder why the technophiles sacrificed comfort like that. Airplanes in general are cramped and rickety contraptions vaulted into the sky. You breath that horrible recycled air and polute the skys with noise and smog. If current flying trends continue, it is estimated that a comercial aircraft a day will crash in five years if the world does things as well as it is done in the US. So people risk their very hides and those of innocents on the ground just to save a little of their time? It does not save any time for the legions of people who must refine the fuel and maintain the aircraft. Good riddance.
If this argument sounds convincing, kick yourself. Similar arguments can be made for ships and so on through sail power all the way back to riding a floating log or riding a horse. That each of these methods is actually more dangerous than the modern method that replaced it is just fine for the technophobes because they think there are too many people as it is. We would all be better off, these morons would have it, if we were serfs tied to the ground turning clods of shit instead of expoiting the resources before us. The most amazing advococy of such stuff I've seen lately is LE Modesitt Jr's "Adiamante", where he gleefully imagines a future with much in common with nightmare vision of S.M. STirling's "Drakon". This kind of thinking is humoursly parodied in Neiven's "Fallen Angels", but too much has occured since then to make that book funny anymore.
The concord exists and failed due to government regulations. It was built and maintained at tremedous expense to the people who's governments sposored it. Yet it's mear existance was enough to block a private entry. US aircraft regulations are no less looney and make qualifying new aircraft parts, much less whole vehicles, something only a giant like Lockheed-Martin or Boing could ever hope to accomplish. The demand for faster, more convient transportation is always around and will always be met if and only if we let it happen.
Huh? What statistics? Where was this thing set up? How many hits did they record, 4? Did they deliver the spam? Was the welcome message, "Tell all your leet friends about the spam relay here!" Is someone at the RSA office the type that thinks they can make a fast buck selling dick enlargers? F+
The study, as presented is useless except to divide people. They might have just as well said that the internet itself was evil for enabling spam. I can say the same thing about materials used to make billboards. The RSA says, "Don't share, people." Great!
I've spoken to some people who work in the Windows server team, and they have told me that 32 bit performance has been almost as good on the Opterons as on 32 bit processors. And the 64 bit version of Windows is very, very fast.
I wonder if in a couple of years users will have to decide if they want binaries for Intel's 64-bit architecture or AMD's. This as you all know is not a good thing, since it will bring market confussion to users
What?! Oh, ok the silly closed source send your stuff out on CD model of selling software might suffer. Microsoft might have trouble porting the Universe all the time. I can't imagine how the average Visual Basic disaster shop will cope. What's new? This is just another indication of the superiority of the free software model. Free software has been ported to different platforms for years and it's not difficult for the various distributions or their users to keep up with all the archetectures. It always makes me laugh to this kind of excitment for M$ junk and I can't wait to hear excited anouncements like , "With more than 1,200 applications ported, NT^H^H Opeteron is really catching on!"
From the Register, "For instance, there are five varieties of Linux, three BSDs, Beowulf and Windows in the offing. Most of them have either already been released or are due to be released at the Opteron launch." I hope they are not waiting for M$ to finish putting together all it's little peices.
VisiCalc is why businesses started to take the Apple ][ (and personal computers in general) seriously. It also changed accounting forecasts forever, which triggered the investment boom that brought us the "greed is good" era.
Don't forget that the "Greed is Good" brought us Bill Clinton, Tyson and Enron. This is why Al Gore invented VisiCalc in the first place. I'll bet you did not know that.
Another case of MSFT doing the same thing everyone else does, execpt.. for some reason it's "evil" because you dont like windows.... MS Licensing is a business support contract, and pretty much a standard one at that.
If only that were true and Microsoft behaved like other normal companies. It's not evil because Windows sucks, windows sucks because Microsoft is abusing it's monopoly position. To use your examples:
Pedros does not have a monoply position in real estate. For some strange reason, people seem able to use and maintain their lawns without Pedro's assistance and there are many people willing to do the work. I can chose any length contract I want with Pedro or any of his competitors. Heck, he might even have a Red Hat box that does what my old HP does but costs so much less to operate it saves me money to buy it.
The case is much different with Microsoft. There are no large computer makers who sell computers without M$ on them due to previous and present anti-competitive practices. No one but M$ can really maintain those computers. M$ did not offer a variety of service plans, it was "take this now or we screw you harder tomorrow."
It won't last much longer. M$ is squeezing public schools and bankrupt companies to keep their revenuse from showing anything but growth. They can't keep it up much longer and they are already way too expensive. Given the variety and quality of replacements for M$ desktops available, M$ does not have much longer to live. They used a bunch of FUD to scare people into that contract, but the FUD clouds are dispersing. M$ is dead meat at the fist dip in growth. They might make a second or third dividend payment, then it's all over like so many other greedy concept companies.
Today, the supreme court upheld a Virginia law making it a crime to burn crosses because that action was, "an intrument of terror." With such a vague definition, just about any expresion can be outlawed. Greek crosses may be outlawed here just like they are in old Germany. Rebel flags, forget it. A list of people who violate the hypocratic oath to perform abortions? Bzzzzt, someone might get angry and hurt one of them.
So what? you might ask those people are repulsive and ignorant they should be shut up. No they should not be. You don't have to listen to them and they are not responsible for violent actions commited without their knowledge. The mindset is dangerous and when some people can be shut up anyone can be shut up.
It should be chilling to hear that relious symbols are often forbiden in public schools today. Why is this so? Because it might create an intimidating atmosphere for minority religious members or atheists. Hmmph, instruments of terror indeed. Our children are being taught that it's best not to express yourself when anyone might be offened. The public school system has a way of being used to reduce our citizen's expectation of rights. If mearly indicating that you are a member of a religion is offensive enough to be banned, we have no first amendment rights.
The first amendment is simple, let me quote it:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Everyone should have privacy protection hands down,
You cease to be a "private person" when you engage the public for your own benifit. This sleaze bag has made himself a public figure, so anyone can publish information about him. In order to sue someone for that you must prove that the information published was both incorrect and malicious. The public has a right to know about it's officials and other figures of public controversy.
The reason spam has grown to such an epidemic is that there are idiots out there who actually open the spam and then order the products or services that they are offering thus funding and encouraging the spammers to further spam.
Please don't blame the victim, it's so Microsoftish. There are three kinds of spammers in the world. Those that actually make money doing it, those who wish they could and those who seek only to harrass. Eliminating the first class would not remove the second and third. There's one born every minute applies equally well to the hoards of push brains out there who think they can make a buck off spam as it does to their victims. Greed, laziness and lack of respect for one's neighbors, these are the things any good con man looks for in his victim. The more you have these traits, the more suseptible you are.
I don't do windoze, so you might want to read something else if you must have M$ stuff.
Full kit is two bags, a laptop in one and a few tools in the other. The laptop has a working modem and network card. The tools are an old single speed CD, a box of software and a screwdriver kit with nut driver, torqx and all that kind of attatchments. The box of software has:
A DOS boot disk with CD drivers.
Debian Potato and Woody CDs with boot floppy sets
OpenBSD CDs with boot floppy
Red Hat CDs
Star Office CD
Debian has anything you could want or need. The DOS boot disk is for funny old devices that need to be configured, but DOS devices drivers might be impossible for you to get. The boot floppies are good if you can't boot off the CD. If the computer won't boot off Woody, put in Potato. I know that Red Hat will drive a printer but I have not figured out printing with Debian yet. The other stuff is sort of superflous.
With this kit, I can make just about anything work and do what people want it to do. A 33 MHz 486 can dial up with wvdial, browse with lynx, email with mutt and edit with emacs or vi. I'm told that emacs can do the browsing and mail checking too. Anything else hardware wise is gravey.
Foor replicators are too advanced and require too much energy for the present to be practical. I recomend that you work on a self contained sanitary waste to algae food machine. I've seen done before, but I can't remember where. Matrix Food Equipment sounds right, but it's not it.
If you really NEED soda you stick it and some ice into your cammel back. Then, because the explosive carbonation is not enough, you sit on it. Must have Jolt, have Jolt. Kidney failure in two days or your money back!
[no sale]... she rejected the offer of even advice in order to keep the test clean.
Why? If she was going to go the M$ route like "joe sixpacks" she'd have marched her box over to CompUSA and gotten raped $250 or so. Surely, normal people seek advice when they run into problems? What's clean about not taking advantage of the resources you have? A technical writer should know that no manual, however good, is a stubstitute for a knowledgeable person.
With all available CDs dedicated to ogging, a rescue floppy was hany to fix a screwed up wireless node box. It was the first time in months I made use of a floppy.
Spare me your "how much more enlightened, knowledgeable and confident I will be if I know the intimate details of my computer if the installation is treacherous!" speech.... Requirements 2 and 3 eliminate WindowsXP as an upgrade route. I would need to buy a new computer, probably new peripherals, and replace some eXPensive software to get the dubious benefits of product-activation codes and embedded functions I don't want and can't delete.
Fine, give the Office Super Geek $50 to put Red Hat 7.x or 8.x and Open or Star Office on the "bonepile" motherboard. It will dual boot, print, write her CDs, modem and all that jazz. If he/she/psuedo-name was in Baton Rouge, I'd do it for them.
-Hugh Whenn Ivan. (say that out lound until you get it)
The students in question will be sold into bondage as roadies. Because this is inaequate compensation, the US Government will award the RIAA the country of Iraq and be alowed to continue running the counterfiet dollar presses. That should just about cover it.
The bill of rights only outlines rights provided by citizens from the government. In a civil suit, where the government is not a party, the constitution has little say.
If the students were being fined for the VALUE of their "theft", they would be much better off. They are aledged to have denied the RIAA income on some 650,000 songs. At 50 cents a song, they would only be down som $300,000 and mearly ruined insead of owning the RIAA the assets of a small oil rich country. Actually proving the value of the losses is impossible of course because, in reality, there were none. All the students in question did was index other people's shared files and the fault was not theirs if the was any fault at all.
The whole case is absurd and will eliminate any residual good will the major music labels have. It's so obviously stupid that 36 year old farts like me can see it.
Are you trying to Blame Sun for how people's Keyboards are wired? Hmmm, very strange. I'll quote the bug you pointed to so people don't have to go visit:
It is appliable to all versions of OO and StarOffice (at least 5.2 and 6.0 Beta).Introducing numbers with decimal point is too slow, because all Spanish keyboards sold in Spain (and the O.S. driver) has a dot in the numeric keypad, but the decimal point character in Spain is the comma. It means we have to use the numeric keypad and type the comma with the alphanumeric portion of the keyboard. Some spreadsheets like excel overrides the system default character for the dot of our numeric keypad outputting a comma, solving this problem for Spanish users. OO must do the same, because is very important for the productivity. Thanks.
I've never had this problem but I've seen where it should be solved. This problem should be taken care of by proper configuration of X. There should be a version of the xkeyborad map for you. At a lower level you might even have your kernel configured for your particular keyboard. If you use an unreasonable comercial GUI that does not take care of such basic funcionality for you the SDK might come to your rescue and implement keymaping as a module or a whole European decimal system format if that's not already available. This bug seems inconcevable in a world where people use free software to type Arabic, Cryic, Hebrew and Vietnamese characters on a regular basis.
Good luck with your problem. I'd simply ten key with six digits. Ten key in Excell requires seven digits if you count frequent CNTRL-S hits.
Lawyers for the civil liberties group said the technique undermines the Internet's global connectivity by regularly blocking Web surfers visiting harmless sites that may be located on the same server computers as sites with child pornography. They have compared the tactic to disrupting mail delivery to an entire apartment complex over one tenant's illegal actions.
I've heard that analogy before, but it seems lacking. Few people would care much about a "disruption" of snail mail. It's missing the first amemdment free press ring that it should have. Good analogies are hard to find.
This is more like confiscating printing machines or jamming the airwaves. Suppose someone decided to broadcast kiddie porn from some kind of pirate TV station. Would you block the legitimate station to get rid of the horrible one? No, you would find the person responsible for the broadcasts and shut them down. Suppose someone in a city started publishing kiddie porn on dead trees. Would you shut down the newspaper over it? No, you go after the publisher. Yet in Pennsylvania, any website that takes content from the public is subject to blocking.
The AG hands out an unverifiable list to "major" ISPs and expects them blocked. How are non "mojor" ISPs supposed to know? They can't and that will be used against them. How do the "major" ISPs know that the site they block is not simply something that embarases the AG? They can't either. Why? Because looking at kiddie porn is a Federal Offense and you go to jail for having it stored on your computer's cahche directory. So you block the content, sight unseen because the State tells you to. That's real censorship and a clear violation of the first amendment protection of free press.
Even if the program were honest and verifiable, it would still be a bad idea. This essentially closes off sites that alow user posts, such as Slashdot. All you have to do to kill Slashdot in Pensylvania now is persistenlty place kiddie porn links into your posts. But it is not honest and it is not verifiable so the state could just block Slashdot as it pleases. If people noticed and complained that they can't find Slashdot anymore, the State can claim it was an honest mistake. The damage would have been done as the people would have been kept from knowledge in a timely manner. Other sites that few no about can be blocked with impunity.
