They have no absolutely no business listening in on private communications until they have probable cause.
Thats a perfectly legitimate statement. Wether or not you agree is a different matter, but saying that it doesn't make sense or is irrational is just plain wrong.
No system is really in place to get the people new job skills for those that need it, proper language skills, and an acceptance or appreciation of existing values and mores.
They don't have schools in Europe? I could have sworn it was the individuals responsibility to fit in and become a functioning part of society, not the government's.
Intel is right to an extent. AMD has always had trouble with production and all that. But that doesn't really address AMD's assertion of Intel's anti-competative practices in the least. They seem to be hoping everyone will be too busy saying 'oooooh snap' to realize that its all a bunch of double-talk.
No where in the story does it say that Bush ordered this. It never even mentions the president. That headline is one of the most pathetic and biased attempts at "journalism" I've seen since Sam Donaldson covered the last elections. You're job isn't to make up our minds for us or infer for us anything, it is to report what's happening and let us decide or infer what we want. I just lost ALOT of repsect for slashdot.
That is just irresponsible reporting.
I can see this ending up like the healthcare system. The goverment taking it over, closing unneccessary ISPs, then making all but the students and extremely elderly pay for it. That's alot of money to come up with just so that everyone can watch streaming porn.
I'm a college student due to graduate soon (Fall 2001) and I have had an extremely difficult time even getting any responses. I have heard similar stories from people I talk to in class. I've been to several career fairs, all packed, several company job fairs, more people showed up than they could handle. Alot of the people who worked on contract work are now looking for fulltime work because the contracts have dried up and they want something stable, add to that the increasing number of graduation computer science, engineering and CIS students and you have yourselves a glut in the market which is sure to push wages down and unemployment up. I have satisfied myself with two partime jobs, one being in the service idustry.
You can't read aloud or print or copy any of the material. This renders it almost completely useless. The people who are going to be using software like this, I would imagine, would probably PRINT out the book or sections of the book to read, not curl up with their PC in bed to read it. Also a prof might wish to pass out a few pages of this book to a class or something. It was be incredibly convenient to just buy the e-book or whatever and print the number of copies s/he needs rather than hunt down the book and make copies. I can't see anyone actually using this software as it is essentially useless.
Pornography and nudity are two separate things. It's a shame some people cannot tell the difference.
And as I alluded to, These issues can always be voted on.
On the contrary, taxes have been used like this for years. How else do you explain high gas taxes in some states, high tobacco taxes, the taxes that you unknowing pay at casinos and bars (because they're figured into prices already). I see nothing wrong with "discouraging" certain immoral/unethical/unpleasant (such as pollution, porn, or whatever) activities. You CANNOT just criminalize activities that you do not like. That's absurd and would lead to a very unhappy public. And as far as "who decides" ? Set up a committee, vote on it, set up a committee and vote on it.. there's several options on making it reasonable.
A little correction. You have the right to peacably assemble.
That does not translate into "I can go cause sh@t wherever I wanna cause sh@t 'cause the constitution says so" Peacefull demonstrations and activism is one thing. Going out to taunt and provoke law enforcement is quite another. Cities generally work with activists to increase media exposure so this type of thing doesn't happen. Making designated areas so the police can do their jobs doesn't seem too demanding to me.
that for all these years we could "virtually" kill people for years and years, but as soon as you throw in animals.. woah woah HOLD ON! animals? how can you possibly want to kill animals? Come on people, they're placing the value of an ANIMAL's life infront of that of PEOPLE. How sick is that? What is our society coming to that it's perfectly acceptable to kill people but an absolute no-no to even joke about killing an animal? I even see it in movies. People getting killed right and left and no one says a thing, but as soon as a dog gets it you hear a collective "awwww" from the audience.
I work for a company that does school network and setup almost exclusively. We've seen instances where companies sink large amounts of money into a school to give it the best technology possible in order to see if they'd get any return on test scores. There have been instances of schools almost doubling test scores in a couple instances. What tests they are I have no idea, but it seems to refute these people:)
Even so, Napster is still (trying to) indirectly making money off of these bands that they say they respect the copyrights to. They are trying for an IPO right? Their software woulnd't be popular without the trading of these bands' music goin on on their networks correct? Their company wouldn't be worth an IPO w/o popular music. How else is this company going to make any money (besides an IPO)? They have no way to produce revenue short of one small banner ad on their website. Now if they actually sold advertising space on their napster program things would be a little different. They'd actually have a legitimate source of revenue, but as it stands it looks like their just trying to get rich quick without reguards to the law. It would also help if they allowed other files to be traded over their networks, legitimate files such as hardware drivers or classic books (not still under copyright) in some sort of electronic format. This is totally uncool of napster and I don't see how anyone can still support them.
It's not about zealotry, it's about choice. Obviously when you have two products that offer the same services, one is going to be better at some things than the other is not and vice versa. The beauty with having both KDE and GNOME is you can choose which one better suits you, which from my experience would be KDE if you want stability (if you can call it that) and GNOME if you want a pretty interface. Then there's the countless other options... It's all up to you. So don't complain when a product gets coverage. That's the last thing that we need. More coverage of more products makes us more informed and the products that get covered even better because of feedback. I'd rather be aware of a product that sucks (not saying GNOME or KDE sucks, just a hypothetical) than not know it exists at all.
These are "hi-res" shots. What's up with that? TVs can't exactly do Hi-Res, which is what the X-Box is s'poded to hook up to. It'd be more important to have anti-aliasing, which these shots obviously don't have. The lil jaggies are really quite ugly. Take a look at some of the desk and ping-pong shots to see what I mean. That chalkboard looks horrible. And there's nothing saying that this is being done in real-time, like the playstation 2's bird demo thing from a while back.
Now I'm not a physicist, but couldn't you just chuck the thing into the sun?
Burn it to a crisp... no litter no harm done. Hopefully I guess it introduces some more cost for the fuel to power it to the sun, but would it really be that much more fuel? All ya have to do is break the moon's gravity and possibly clear a planet and let gravity do the rest
You're both correct. Too much vitamin C in general won't hurt you.. Because it is a water soluable vitamin it gets peed and sweated right out of your body. However huge enourmous and excessive amounts do cause that nasty kidney stone problem if your body doesn't get rid of all the Vit. C properly.
but then again.. what do I know. I'm recalling all of this from a foods an nutrition class I took seven years ago.
It'll be interesting to see if AOL actually opens up their new cable lines (new to AOL) Although
I'm not counting on it.. Infact I'd go so far as to say that the same guys striving to pass the legislation just a couple weeks ago will be making strong efforts to supress any new bills that come up.
...they run and tell a teacher or parent or simply smack the hell out of each other
Or option number 3: they do nothing and continue to be teased/made fun of/beat on.
Not everybody fights back. Some just take it and move on or go home and cry and move on with thier dissappointing lives. Just because someone internalizes their feelings of anger/frustration/violence doesn't mean they are on the edge waiting to be pushed off and go on a killing spree.
I know people (friends, nerds)who were beat up on a regular basis at school. And you're saying the people that beat them up were just being "kids" ? That's a crock. What does that make the ones that got beat up? obviously not "kids" because they're not beating on anyone. Attitudes like this certainly don't help the ones that actually need it.
You just pay a monthly fee and slap your box into your ISP's lil network in their building. They'll give you an IP and a DNS to use for when you register your new site and all.

I wish people would stop comparing wired to wireless. They serve 2 seperate needs and are nothing alike.

mozilla/firebird already does that for you.
I doubt anyone can conjecture in either way at this point. All accounts have been far to vague to really say anything about.
...the cool, clear, cloudless day...
...and up above the giant white clouds steaming...
wtf?
are you stupid?

Computer engineering is like Electrical Engineering with a few Computer science classes mixed in.
