Both cigarettes and cellphones cause cancer. Shouldn't we make laws against cellphones identical to cigs since they are a known to do the same thing? How long will it be before people start dying of second hand cellphone radiation? Smokers get harrassed because of laws that were made because of the knowledge of the effects of secondhand smoke. Harrassing cellphone users with spam is the wrong way to go about this. We should just make them have thier own section of the restaraunt, ban them in malls and have separate breakrooms. I suppose its also a big coincidence that you have to be 18 to buy either a cellphone or a pack of cigarrettes?
I think the netpliance I-Opener has the right idea by including a pizza key on the keyboard, but if it had both beer and pizza keys I probably would have bought one.
I think my goal is to bring other valuable technology advances such as these to ppl everywhere for a $mall monthly fee. That and code my dream game and call everybody over to play in some tournament action while my wife sits back, looks pretty and presses her custom pizza/beer combo key at regular intervals. Hows that for a fscking goal?
Since NASA can't even land thier little pokemon things on mars without stuff going wrong, are we going to be ready in 10 years to shoot stuff off that could possibly give away our position and proclaim our technological inferiority to the unknown inhabitants of distant space? Or are there aliens who already have our back?
When Metallica releases their music, they're doing it under a sort of license, called a copyright. When some violates this copyright, that gives Metallica the right to sue. When some organization aids in this lawbreaking, they are guilty of basically being an accomplice. Napster's in a grey area because their systems are being used to break the law, but they can theoretically claim a sort of immunity as a service provider.
So is Xerox also guilty of basically being an accomplice by aiding people in copying copyrighted paper media? Or does this make the US Postal service an accomplice for making it easy to distribute paper media? Is the phone company responsible for people using telephones for illegal activity? All we need is more laws anyway to hurt independent musicians by closing thier distribution channels. At least for my band, this is a big one. This is totally greedy. What makes me laugh though is that the only musicians who cared enough to sue are Metallica and Dr. Dre. If this is hurting musicians so badly, why aren't tons of professional musicians in on this? Why do musicians need pimps anyway?
What would happen if I decided I didn't like this kid down the street because he rolled my house, so I pretended to be someone else on the internet and uploading him a game or something with back orifice 2000 silk roped to it, then install napster on his system and make it run hidden in the background filling up his hard drive (which he doesn't know how much space is on) with illegal mp3s.
How many of the people who were found to be trading Metallica mp3's do you think were framed using this or similar methods that any script kiddie could come up with?
Driving on the expressway... heavy metal Driving in the ghetto... rap music Driving in the country... country music Pulling up in your Driveway... well, you get the point
I have an ISA trident TGUI9440AGi, but I broke one of the ram
chips so its only got one meg - but even with half of the memory
in the trash it still blows my F#*^ing mind!
The Tridents TRIPOWER turns my 14" Acer View 34T into a fiery ball
of text/light graphics that doesn't stop. As far as 3D action...
I'll go to somebody elses house. My wife won't let me have a
playstation anyway.
I would like to suggest to the site designer that canned goods and clothes also be accepted. I personally can't sleep at night knowing that somewhere my favorite hair band Mertallica is cold and hungry.
I really don't understand how putting books on the internet would be restrictive in any way. I can see benefits though.
If your local public library has internet access you would have access to more books online than what are available in the library.
It would in fact be less restrictive, because you could view the material on the screen, or take advantage of the digital format by printing your own copy and... more quickly find what you are looking for.
Not everyone has the internet, but is that not one of our governments goals in the first place and also why the internet is being put in libraries and schools?
Charachteristic of a proprietor, privately owned and managed and run as a profit-making organization.
Is Linux privately owned? Linux is controlled by a group of private individuals, not by a single corporation. Is Linux run as a profit-making organization? Last I heard it was non-profit.
The part of the GPL that generates the most controversy is the second point: that software derived from the GPLed software must also be GPLed. Although detractors refer to the GPL as a virus because of this clause, supporters insist that the clause is one of the GPL's greatest strengths. It prevents companies from taking GPLed software, adding features and turning the result into a proprietary package. - Quote from Linux Application Development by Micheal K. Johnson and Erik W. Troan
I don't think I can blame them. Whatever leverage they can use to sell thier stuff. At least they are not using monopoly tactics *cough* No description needed *cough* - I mean, if our corps play dirty why should anyone else fight fair. Isn't SONY going to be in serious competition with Microsoft's X Box? I can picture the commercials now.. stuff blowing up and some serious graphics action sequences (probably with MTV style generic techno music blaring in the background) and some kind of funny slogan mocking the export restriction.
I think a pocket food replicator which generated food molecules from garbage would be more practical. Why not share a little of that palm pilot technology with some biomedical.
This is probably suppossed to be incorporated with the implantable transponder with the 666 code. ~Whoever doesn't have the mark won't be able to eat~ I got a better way to use this microchip. You can stick it up your butt to closen its proximity to your digestive system. Maybe while you are in there digging you can find some of our tax dollars and give them back!!!!
Similar issues could occur with one of netpliances competitors, ePods. ePods advertises a Toshiba RISC MIPS processor, so it would be a netbsd/hpcmips target platform. There are many things about ePods though that might make it a better purchase... PCMCIA, IrDA, CF, more portable, etc.
I believe that Linux should be treated as an advantage and not a problem.
If the ties between the Linux community are not strengthened then what could very well happen is people will use a comparable device with things like better expandability and forget the i-opener altogether.
Linux flows on and on till the break of dawn and it don't stop till you choose so how can you lose? If you are a skilled user or coder, be down with Linux cause Windows got that odor. Let me RiKi RiKi ryhme while I check my uptime and eat these hot grits cause they taste so fine. Don't stop get it get it. Go linux, Go Linux go, go linux go. Get Buck! Get Buck! ~Bow wow wow yippie yo yippie yay~
Word out to the all the Slashers and my Trolldogs All you sucka OS's like Linux One quit imitatin Pour out a little liquor for your dead processes
Lets see. What is to stop a company from pretending to secure their product but in all actuality having lousy security. Then they could try to use this as a cover to have laws passed that would restrict our digital freedom. Lets take for instance that I do not provide adequate warnings on something and someone gets hurt. I could be sued and lose. It would also be very easy to determine if there were warnings because these are tangible things. How can we be this sure that the companies put a reasonable prevention method - in this case copy protection. If laws are going to be made that restrict our freedom with copying media or files then there should in turn be obligations by the companies to devote a specified amount of funds to security/prevention as well as be reviewed by a third party so that the level of protections are not faked to try and generate cases which could be used to unneccesarily restrict our freedom. Also in a way like this that would make us spend more money and also pay more sales tax would certainly be in the benefit of both our government and the businesses. I don't feel this is a conspiracy theory. I am simply saying that I feel as though we are lacking an adequate/trusted checks and balances system and this is not just limited to the digital realm. Am I wrong about the whole thing or do others share this feeling?
I haven't been as successful as I like but I am not a loser either. I am married. I drive a new car and I just purchased my wife a new car as well the day before yesterday. I have a nice house in the suburbs and I am one of the youngest homeowners in my entire nieghborhood at 24 years old. I enjoy my job although it is not exactly what I was looking for. You have the advantage of a college education. The truth is there are people like me who can outperform people like you. Are you scared your boss might find me, or are you just a typical jerk?
I have been using linux for about 3 years (don't recall the kernel version), but I started coding when I was 10 years old. I am now about to turn 25 and now that I am married, my programming is interfering with my personal life and I would like to make it my profession and keep my freetime as my freetime. I have been a computer tech support person for the last 3 years, which is the most computer related job I have been able to find in Memphis. I have been employee of the month several times and I am always in the top on the charts. I have been selected along with about 4 others to assist with the creation of tech support tools for a new computer related product which is somewhat interesting but I am still looking for a programming job like I always have. A major setback is that I don't have any credited college or professional programming experience, but then again - was a supervisor at Office Max before I worked here but I seem to be doing fine because I am very skilled, motivated and a superfast learner. I have applied for several jobs but people want me to relocate. I just bought a house with my wife and she has career ties here as well. I have been thinking of seeing a recruiter in desperation. Many people have told me that this is not a good idea but I am running out of ideas and this is beginning to cause problems for me. I don't need the best paying job. I just want to do what I enjoy (coding) and make cost of living without having to pull a second job. I am fluent in multiple languages and have even begun trying my hand at X things like GUI design with C++/Qt. Can anyone out there offer any suggestions or give me a fair shot at a job? My present employer would probably write me a recommendation.

They also did research burger flipping robots. Or so I have read.

This site seemed to already have the same idea: Farenheit 451.2
I think a toeprint reader would be cool. Since we already wear shoes it would not be an obstruction.

just friggin yay!

Kid: We're getting pulled over
Cop: Get out of the car or I'll shoot
Kid: We didn't do anything
Cop: Oh no? My Microsoft dork beam picked up
illegal Dr. Dre signals coming from your stereo
put your face in the ground! NOW!
We need them in the drive thrus.
Hacker dooods don't optimize. They just multiply.

Rather than make computers easier to use, how about making the people smarter. After all, you aren't trying to control us... are you?
