So, let me get this straight: You were willing to sacrifice the lives of several thousand people (possibly many times more), deal with the massive cleanup required thereafter, and have survivors suffer terrible scars and increased cancer rates just so you could prove a political point?
Yeah, they do things like posting long, off-topic rants saying how offended they are when to be honest, nobody else could really give a shit about how they feel.
He said employees of ISPs who were aware of illegal activities being carried out at work would be targeted in future if this case was successful, but would be granted "amnesty" if they informed the music industry.
Yeah, that's a good way to attract new customers - rat out your PAYING CLIENTS to the music industry's Doberman lawyers.
Hey, ISPs - are you listening? The answer to this one is never do anything that could make you aware of illegal activities, OK? It doesn't mean that you should sniff all traffic going over your pipes.
TRON? Hardly. The Japanese government dropped all funding for TRON when the US government placed tariffs on it as the result of Microsoft bitching that it was 'unfair competition'.
And which "current set of highly integrated Japanese computers" would that be?
Be warned, though, there is a big catch here: some of the language options don't default to a Qwerty layout! In the past you were asked what keyboard layout to use but now it just makes a guess based on the language setting. If you select "English (USA)" you'll be safe, but be warned that if you choose "English (Australia)" or "English (United Kingdom)" your keyboard will switch to the Dvorak layout! Not quite what most people expect.
Yeah, cause everybody knows those crazy Aussies all use Dvorak... Come on, guys - it's only one extra question, OK? Just add it in there. It'll save you a lot of grief later on.
I used to live in one of those science cities (Tsukuba - home to KEK, mentioned in the PDF), which was mostly constructed in the early '70s. Japan hasn't put forward a big-money scientific program in ages, mainly because they have a high risk of no return. A good example of this is the Fifth-Generation Computing project that the Japanese government launched years ago - it cost big bucks but produced very little.
Main features: 1) Built-in J-E/E-J translation software 2) CF and SD memory cards in the Zaurus can be accessed directly from a PC just by linking the PC and Zaurus with a USB cable. 3) Can use the AirH", FreeD, bitWarp PDA and Yahoo BB wireless services.
Gentoo: Did you ask for help? No? Debian: Debian doesn't do autodetect. If you'd read the docs, you'd know that. Slackware: Ditto. SuSE: Whatever. Mandrake: 7.0's ancient. Get a newer version, it's free. RedHat: What do you mean, it didn't detect your network settings? The network settings you put in during install? SuSE: So, you didn't install the compiler and that's GAIM's fault? Not to mention that there's RPMs available for GAIM, so you didn't need to compile it yourself at all.
Hint: Knowing something about Windows doesn't mean that everything on Linux is going to be easy. It's a DIFFERENT OS for chrissakes. Sit down and spend some time learning how to do things right.
Yeah, then Luigi blows away Han, and then the Porcionis from Betelgeuse and Mussalinis from Altair get into a vendetta, and Jabba is blown away in a driveby shooting....

Don't know if this is what SGI is using, but the status of NUMA in the kernel and associated patches for it is shown here.
So, let me get this straight: You were willing to sacrifice the lives of several thousand people (possibly many times more), deal with the massive cleanup required thereafter, and have survivors suffer terrible scars and increased cancer rates just so you could prove a political point?
Yeah, that's a balanced view. IHBT.
Which of the services did you take - 1, 8, 16, 32 or 64 IPs? Do you NAT your customers?
How did you get around the fact that the cheap services can't be resold? Did you go for one of the business-oriented services?
Correct the joke again and make it funny this time, ok thx bye.
I've been on the Internet since 1993 and I've always assumed :) means "I'm a retard".
Looks like you've proved me right once again.
Pity that Microsoft didn't mention that their security initiative wasn't intended to help their *current* customers...
some people are just too anal retentive
Yeah, they do things like posting long, off-topic rants saying how offended they are when to be honest, nobody else could really give a shit about how they feel.
Funny that, isn't it?
I think you mean 'by and large'.
The irony, the irony...
You do know that Bill Gates' announcement of Microsoft's security initiative is more than a year old, don't you?
No? Oh well.
Does that make me an infringer?
Yes. Your subpoena is in the mail.
Litigiously yours,
the RIAA.

Looks like you need to give them back their $20 ;)
Do you have any idea how hard it is to input stuff with a mismatched keyboard layout? In some cases, you wouldn't even be able to log in.
I'd say users would care about *that* feature.
TRON? Hardly. The Japanese government dropped all funding for TRON when the US government placed tariffs on it as the result of Microsoft bitching that it was 'unfair competition'.

The page says that "no driver is required", so it's most likely mass storage.
That's one bigass wristwatch.
Here's the press release on Sharp Japan's site.

Yeah, Bush is teh suck. We already knew that. What's new?
Thanks. That makes my nausea slightly less intense.
