There is a movie that was FAR too long. As far as the science behind it? My guess is there was more science in creating the drugs Stanley Kubrick was taking than the movie.
You forget. We don't have all of the EU trash saying how they are glad that the Brazillian space agency got what was coming to them, maybe they'll move out of the way and allow the US and India and EU to take over space industry.
You are nothing but a bigot against the US. I get sick of your kind every day. You think you are all intellectual and clever pointing out that there is less news here.
Slashdot is a US based site. Period. If you can't get that through your little head you should probably not visit.
I'm not sure exactly. My wife works on the bulletin herself. She typically has some boxes around a couple quotes the paster puts in which I think she has issues with. Also she had an issue with doing all caps, but at a lower case size. Bot issues have been cleaned up sufficiently for her in 1.1.
I know a few folks at work that have pirated adobe photoshop. You know what, we don't do any photoshop work at my place. How exactly is Adobe benefiting from them pirating photoshop?
You are only trying to rationalize your criminal behavoir. You have the morality of an alley cat in heat.
If it is good enough to use, pay the price for it. If it is not good enough to pay the price for it, don not use it.
Anyways, its a shame that OOo isn't ready for the Mac. My wife who does the church bulletin has been using MS Office 97 (she tried OOo 1.0.x and it didn't cut it) just tried out OOo 1.1 and was very impressed. Starting soon she plans on switching over.
I bet once OOo is ready for the Mac they will be in for a real treat.
I have a 9000 pro which seems to run NWN decently. I haven't played more than an hour at a time though. I was unable to get the game to work with drivers less than 3.0. If you are using gentoo try:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge \=ati-drivers-3.2.4
I have only been using them with the most recent gentoo-sources.
The 3.0 drivers had a pretty bad bug in them for RTCW-ET which made it completely unplayable. The newest drivers though I can usually play for an hour+ without any lockups.
Civil disobediance is downloading the music, then turning yourself in. What you are promoting is anarchy. Rule by the masses. Or very pointedly, the "me me me" society we live in.
I am glad you feel good about donating to the EFF. But, instead of listening to music you did not pay for, really hit them where it hurts in mindshare. If you do not listen to their music, they are not going to be able to advertise by word of mouth. If no one listens to RIAA's music generators, where will RIAA get their money?
Instead, you are a loser who refuses to pay the price someone is offering and taking what they are offering anyways. Do you not feel some sort of cognitave dissidence from this? Or are you so diluded by the pop culture that you just must have it, but don't want to pay for it?
I gotta disagree with you here PD. If someone chooses to implement a P2P app, that is their business. There are many valid uses. Such as this morning I setup BT to download the Matrix trailer. I think the RIAA has the right of it now though. They should go after the infringers, the folks using the technology to download material they do not own he copyright for, and nail them as hard as the law allows. Anonymizing P2P users is simpley research and can have uses. Just as guns can be used for sport, defense, and cold blooded killing, take out the people who break the law, not the tech.
You are equating a criminal activity with a movie?
Are you the kid that killed his parents because he thought they were agents from the Matrix?
You are a seriously disturbed kid.
If you had any moral compass you'd see that the right thing would be to not support the system. But instead you claim the moral low point at breaking the law, greedily taking what is not yours, and even eating the pop culture they feed you and spouting off their own lines.
Yeah, when someone insists on proudly taking the most low moral ground, I think they fit well on my foe list.
I love hearing athiests and anti-Christians say that that 10 commandments are good rules to live by. Dollars to donuts you do not know what they are, otherwise you would outright despise the 10 commandments.
The first commandment is that you shall love your God with all your being. Second is to have no false gods before you. Third is not to use the Lords name in vain. Fourth is to honor the sabbath day and keep it holy.
Right there you have fourr commandments to honor God, do you believe you should live by those?
So, in reality, you believe the 5-10 commandments are good ones to live by. So, perhaps you suggest we hang the "last six commandments?"
Wind is not magic. Really, it isn't. I have been doing a fair amount of research for what it takes to install a wind mill on some property I am looking on buying/building on.
First, wind is not constant. There are only certain times of the day that actually is windy enough to use wind power. Second, wind mills require a large amount of land to be effective (which cities do not have in bounty). Also the tower the generator is on needs to be atleast 35ft tall, then it is reccomended to have the lowest point of the blades on the wind mill atleast 35ft above the ground.
Now we also have solar. Again, this takes a reasonable amount of surface area to work with. As of now, solar isn't terribley effecient also, so to have usable amount of electricity you need a lot of money and area for the panels.
Once we have either source setup you need to also setup batteries to store the energy (which are not cheap and need replacing every 7-10 years). Also toss in the need for an inverter (unless you plan onn running your house on DC, which is also more dangerous than AC). Finally if you want a grid connection you can add more to the cost there.
All in all, I think I will still work towards putting up a wind mill and possibley solar (probably later, rather than sooner with the solar) since I think it would be fun. But I will never realize the cost of all the equipment and setup required. Right now you will not make money or even save money by going wind/solar.

Yeah, and how does a white guy sound like James Earl Jones? They never answered that.

Haven't read about any nations in Africa recently, have you?
Spew your off topic anti-US crap elseware.

Nice argument. But totally wrong.

Yeah, I can afford a computer, but I have to steal to keep food on the table. Nope, you lose.
Computers are not a requirement for life.
I won't be impressed until they can make a healthy human male yearn for a nice healthy vegan dinner.
Yeah, they can do that. I just requires the removal of most of the brain.
Why do folks pirate software?
If it is good enough to use, pay the price for it. If it is not good enough to pay the price for it, don not use it.

I was thinking more along the lines of:
"They're the wrong trousers Gromit!"
One thing you are missing here is this:
In shaving implements there is no monopoly.
If my cost of production goes down, I can cheaper than my competition.
Yeah, set the ttl to like 12 minutes or so...

What infrastructure would that be that India or China has that the US does not have?
Yeah, you just have to homestead it.
5 years there as long as you don't leave.

Um, to be terribley pedantic:
Apache License: ASL (Apache Software License)
X11 (xfree86 anyways): MIT licence" or "X11 licence"
FreeBSD: FreeBSD license
Yeah, they are all pretty much the same for these three (and other *BSDs). However, they are not GPL'd like Samba.
Are you usually about 18 minutes early when you arrive at places? :-)
Hmmm, I'd really like to see a configure option special for SCO, something like ./configure --enable-SCO=DarlMcBrideSucksDick
otherwise configure will fail.
You don't think he know about elevensies do you?

Very nice... I have a new background image.
