um... wine still runs the x86 windows binary... you'd need to add a whole x86 emulation layer along with mapping your win32 API calls to the Darwin kernel. when they Wine Is Not an Emulator, they mean it. ---
hell yes. I usually consider myself a pacifist, but I can't help but thinking a cold war arms race to the moon with china would actually do all of humanity a great deal of good. as long as we can have the arms race without blowing ourselves up before we get on another planet. ---
pour the equal amount of pressure on your congress critter to vote for this as we poured on to not vote for things like the SSSCA! I'll be writing some letters tomorrow. of course, I'm unemployed so I have a lot of time to do such things.. ---
The problem is that Senator Disney's consituency is in South Carolina. We will never get enough critical mass together to threaten his lock on his voter base - not enough of the right demographic is there (and please, all 5 of you in Columbus and Charleston, don't take umbrage.)
wouldn't there be too much contamination of the wastewater from engine oil, radiator fluid, and other lubricants? Also wouldn't the wastewater be in the form of steam and reduce the thermodynamic efficiency to condense it into water?
I've read articles about hydrogen fuel cell cars where the engineers have held a glass under the exhaust and offered the resulting water to the reporter. it can't be too polluted:), and the average water is leaving the system at about 80F degrees, warm, but no where near steam. You definitely have a point about collecting it would lower fuel economy. one thing I've always thought might be a problem with releasing the water from the tail pipe is how all the streets would get frozen in the winter. ---
even if after a year is spent trying to fix the commercial source, they abandon the crappy commercial code and start over from scratch? I love Mozilla, think it is a great browser (now), but I'm not sure if it should really be a poster child for OSS. (running Konqueror 3.0.0-2) ---
I've heard that IBM is really good a preventing this. They have two promotion paths, one technical, one managerial. you can go up the tech path, take a lateral promotion to the managerial side, same pay, go up a few rungs as a manager, decide you'd rather be a tech, take another lateral transfer back to being a tech. It sounds like a beautiful solution. I'm afraid it would only work for organizations that are as big as IBM though. most smaller companies probably just don't have the sheer number of positions to allow such shuffling back and forth. ---
actually, the black spotted one is a holstein, the jersey is smaller and tan, with maybe some white on it's lower abodomen and legs. for those of you wondering,Yes, I was in 4-H. bugger off. ---
I know at a certain place when they were replacing a bunch of VMS and Unix systems with Win2k machines, the admin named them all after sexually transmitted diseases... sphyllis.???.edu, clamidia.???.edu. it was funny, but the boss put a stop to it, especially since MS was supplying the hardware and software really cheaply... ---
yeah, this is big news. there are a multitude of people who want to use OSX for their everyday computing, but can't because their main app wasn't working on the OSX yet, though I agree that their are definitely some attention starved free projects out there. ---
how in the world do you knit with a sewing machine? you could make yarn on a spinning wheel, you could sew fabric together with a sewing machine. I think you're a little confused, or your grandmother has rounded the bend and is actually trying to knit with a sewing machine..

Similarly, an AI would not necessarily be a lightning calculator, even though it's built of of the same chips that can do a billion additions per second. In the AI's "mind", as in ours, numbers are high-level symbols, not RAM words. The AI has no more access to its RAM than we have to our neurons.
if our AI doesn't have near instantaneous access to the total sum of knowledge and be able to perform complex calculations faster than any human, why bother? I mean, if I just wanted another human I would have sex. hopefully. please? ---
Everything in a closed environment is a source of food, throwing it overboard would be ridiculous. After a thousand years of launching corpses into space you'd have wasted thousands of people worth of biodegradable organic matter.
no, no, no... it's not waste... it's a propulsion mechanism! throw the bodies out behind you, and gain speed!
this has to be one of the more disgusting thoughts I've had... landing on your new planet only to have years and years worth of corpses lighting up the night sky as they arrive behind you... ---

indeed. I too would consider buying one of these for a lan party box if it came with an athlon, and a better graphics chip onboard.
