The problem with seti@home is that they have too many users. They're actually re-analyzing some data three times already cuz they have so many participants. At least, that's what a very credible source has told me. Has anyone else heard this?
You're right. We aren't backing them up at all!
Thank you for pointing this out!
I guess I'm not actually running a mirror at http://134.129.58.2/cuecat, trying to keep this information available.
Furthermore, I guess none of these people are backing them up, either.
Wow, we are a bunch of bastards, ain't we?
Point is, the legal battle will probably never happen, I'd bet my Palm on it. The immediate threat is the death of the information, and this is the battle we've chosen to fight for now.
is intel being totally taken to school lately by AMD?
I really don't mean this as flamebait, but honestly, someone name three things Intel has done right lately.
(By the way, I'm not anti-Intel or pro-AMD. I use a PIII, fyi.)
Wow. I'm not going to say anything except this: you've got balls, boy. To make a/. post that not only praises MS, but bashes the penguin. My deepest respect comes from the fact that you didn't go the anonymous coward route.
I don't think i agree with you, but kudos to you for saying what you thought and signing it.
You know, as I was writing that, I was thinking to myself, "I should look this up, in case I spelled it wrong." Then I thought, "Ah, it looks kinda right, and if I did, they know what I mean. I don't think anyone'll make a big deal about it...."
Actually, I'm kind of glad there are still ppl out there that know how to spell. I'd feel better if there were more replies in this thread that related to something other than my spelling, but hey, good eye anyway.
Dude, it's not about me not liking the music. What it is about is way too deep to go into here...
The fact is is that they're manufactured. They don't write, produce, or create anything at all. They're not actually artists. But as I said, there's much more to this than can be gone into here. There was a good article about this in USA today a few days ago. Check it out.
But you're missing the point. The point is this: the record companies have been on a big ass soap box screaming bloody murder about "protecting the creative rights of artists!"
Now, these artists want to release and market their music in a new creative way, and Sony is shutting them down. Shall I go get a dictionary so we can look up "hipocracy" together?
Door 1: Apple kills morale by installing the thought among their employees that they could get sued.
Door 2: Apple scares the hell out of employees by installing the thought that they could get sued.
Door 3: Both things happen.
Uh, is there ANYTHING good at all that could come out of this?
If you purchase a domain name that someone else wants, it can be brought up for review by a board. In the event that you're not using it for a purpose the board thinks is worthy, you can lose it. This is what I've heard/read from a very credible source, and haven't confirmed it. Flames to/dev/null.
I haven't made up my mind on whether this is a good idea or not, but I'm leaning to the latter. I think it should be treated as property, yeah.
The glass is half full, not half empty. IE is not better, its competitors are worse.
Uh, this guy deserves props, yo. I'm not sure how much I agree with this, but it's very provacative, and could be discussed in detail for eons. Good point.
If the page has coding errors, the browser shouldn't be trying to 'correct' it - it should give an error so the damn webmaster can fix it.
Two points:
a) No, it shouldn't. Most ppl visiting the page don't give a damn WHY the page doesn't work, they just wanna' see it. IE gives the option to debug the page, tho, so it DOES throw error msgs when encountering an error.
b) It's very possible to display poorly/improperly written HTML. In theory, you're supposed to close the <TD> tags in tables, but both IE and Netscape will display them fine without...
Nothing personal, but your comment is worthless, there, guy.
Finally, you state that IE is widely supported. That's hardly true; IE doesn't run on any unix except Solaris...
You're right, that does demand clarification. By supported, I meant by webmasters. The VAST majority of pages are designed to run well on IE (and Netscape, for that matter, yes). That comes along with market share, tho. They're really connected, but still significant.
I really hope Moz kicks it in the ass, tho, cuz if there's anything wrong w/ IE, it's the fact that it kind of feels like a toy. Sort of like when you use Linux for a while and then go back to using W98--kind of feels like the latter was made by Fischer Price, eh?
Okay, I might get flamed for this, but it's still important to point it out. If Microsoft has ever created one, single, half-way decent product, it's Internet Explorer.
I mean, really, it's good stuff. It's stable, very widely supported, free, and it's not picky with poorly written HTML, so it displays almost every page correctly.
We shouldn't count Netscape/Mozilla/Opera/etc out, but we should keep in mind that IE is currently king of browser mountain. I AM open to any complaints to IE, if anyone feels they need to make them.
Am I the only one that thinks Apple should spend less time making pretty boxes for pantywaist rich boys, and start putting some thought into the cost of those beastly fast machines? I'd like a Mac, but there's no way you're gonna' get me to pay a deuce and a half for a puter I can build on an intel platform for cheaper...
Sure, mac hardware is better in many respects, but still doesn't cover the added cost.
Yo, I'm out.
