Normal radio sucks, and companies like XM and Sirus decided to change that and create something new. Radio with out commercials, yes it cost a little bit but you do not have to listen to dumb ass commercials. Well currently satellite internet sucks, but that does not mean a company can not invest money into improving satellite internet (increase speeds) like XM and Sirus did for radio. If internet prices go up big spenders like Microsoft, Google, Blizzard, HP, EA, Sun, Adobe, etc (companies that provide internet based content) could team up and start doing research to fix the problem. Will they be able to lay the millions of miles of new fiber...no, but 30 years ago wireless phones were nearly unheard of. Now days everyone has them. All it takes is time and money to corn hole a large company.
You may think this is a bad thing because the cost of internet service may go up. However if companies like Sprint/Nextel have to pay more for the use of AT&Ts' lines maybe this cost will either put them out of business (not the goal of my post) or give them the boost to design new technology and make the market more competitive.
In essence Sprint is just a reseller of at&ts' product. Let them come out with their own product to compete.
I am in no way picking on sprint. I am just saying a little competition in this area is a good thing. Maybe more fiber being laid, better service, higher speeds, and new technology will come of this. OR we could all get corn holed by higher prices.
Ahh sorry for call Microsoft M$. Guess I did not know the Joke was up. Maybe I was too lazy to type out Microsoft so I used M$. Guess I should consult you first.
Greed ties into the Parent talking about how it was Microsofts fault Google had to purchase this company. Glad you did't get your morning blow job. Guess you think if you are an ass hole to me I will give you one. Well think again and get your head out of your ass.
Funny that is what the OS is supposed to do also. But now they come with stuff built in. Maybe if the BIOS was left alone and the OS was fixed to do just what it was supposed to do and not worry about the rest of the crap.
It does not matter if I run Linux, or Windows they both start with crap running in the background. A normal user has no clue what is running. Why not when you install the OS you just ask "Do you want a Firewall? Do you want a Server? Do you want to update your system time over the internet? Do you want to back your computer up every night" It is like most systems just install bloat ware because they *think* normal users want this stuff. Or it provides security. Well write the OS correctly where you do not specifically need a firewall or anti virus, or updates every Tuesday.
Sorry got on a rant. I am just saying Let the Bios do its job...boot the system. Let the OS do its job, Schedule task, manage memory, and provide access to hardware.
It is googles' own greed. They purchased this company in competition with M$ but it is Googles fuck up not M$. So by your Bad Analogy if Mandravia goes under it is some how M$ fault? Not that fact that Mandrake got bought out and the parent company fucked up? I think you need to pull your head out of the sand (or your ass) and realize that not everything is Microsofts fault.
Dr. Evil: Okay, here's the plan. We get the CD and then hold the world ransom for... 1 MILLION dollars!
Number Two: Sir, strictly speaking, a million dollars will not go very far these days. Virtucon alone makes over 9 billion dollars a year.
Dr. Evil: Really? Okay then... we hold the world ransom for 1... hundred... BILLION dollars!
The cameras are in public places. Also it is illegal to search your home, car, etc without a warrant. With all that aside how is this any different then a cop on every street corner? Or do you not enjoy the having law enforcement on a street corner in a rough downtown area? What this system does is it spots patterns or suspicious behavior and alerts police. It is no different if a 70 year old grandma looks out her kitchen window and sees a strange man in her neighbors yard wearing a mask. The grandma would then call the police, so does this thing. The police then have the responsibility to investigate and determine if a crime was committed. This system does not stop you from driving around the same block multiple times. If a cop were to see the same car do circle a block 6 times he would probably stop the car also. All the driver has to do is say "I am waiting to pick up my friend". The system just puts an eye witness on every corner. Do you not want an eye witness to help you out if you were ever in a car wreck or mugged? Or is that eye witness looking at you violating your rights?
I think what he was getting at is factoring a number quickly is very slow (np-complete) on todays hardware. With Quantum computers the problem does not take as long just like the NSA and some research groups try and break current encryption with a grid of computers because they just brute force their way past the encryption. The reason your average joe does not do this is because most people can not afford a large grid of computers. Well with quantum computers your average joe may not need a large grid of computers.
This may help you out
It started as a simplified subset of the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), and is designed to be relatively human-legible. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML/
Oh you were at the airport to see the blinking lights or how she was acting? This is what an IDE looks like http://fusion94.org/blog/index.php?tag=ied/ and this is what her thing looks like http://news.yahoo.com/photo/070921/480/f0ccb94f30c148a5bb53c35e333ee697;_ylt=AgjQr2h5m3Kt6FZZi3tY4FJH2ocA/
How about you walk into a bank with a rubber gun and wave it around at on off duty cop? Ever stop to think someone had to make a split second decision to protect the thousands of people in the airport? The cops did not have time to sit and check out what she had. It looked like electronics it was on her shirt like a suicide jacket that is always talked about in the movies and on the news. You must not have a family. If you do maybe someone should sit next to your family with a fake bomb or a fake gun pointed at you and see if you are worried. Can you tell the difference in a split second?
Well you do not know what type of background processing Eve is doing and what type of background procession Second Life is doing. If the server for Eve is just recording your position and health while Second Life is recording, position, heath, money, surroundings, friends online etc, one is doing more processing then the other. Optimization can only fix so much. While the problems get harder you have to increase the number of processors and speed. Just like you can not run Fedora 6 in a GUI on a computer with 64mb of ram and 800mhz. Maybe Fedora should optimize their code?
Well he could of vetoed the bill and then all of the fault would have been on the congress. Did Clinton veto the bill? Do you know the exact numbers on who voted for or against the bill? For all you know every democrat voted for this bill and only half of the republicans voted for it. You do not have the numbers. But what I DO KNOW is Clinton COULD have vetoed this bill if he was doing his job.
Well they can check whatever they want AND keep records on it because it is a PRIVILEGE not a RIGHT. It is all or nothing man. If you don't like it, take the bus. John Madden does:)
Just remember it is a PRIVILEGE to fly not a RIGHT. You choose to fly, you are not forced. Also you are not the only person on that plane in most cases 200 other people are on the plane with you so while you may feel your rights are being violated, the other 199 people are glad you got checked.
ATS was started in the late 1990s, but was little known until the government issued a notice about the system last fall. FTFA...late 90's, that would be...Clinton.

In Texas they deregulated the power companies and it has worked out quite well http://www.powertochoose.org/electricchoice/changed.asp/
It has increased competition and lowered prices.

On the PS1? I remember FF7 being all the hype on the Play station 1.
Sort of like Final Fantasy 7 did for the PS one.

Please show us your code.
Who will monitor it? Who watches the person doing the monitoring?

We have other modes of travel other then by air. You could, Drive, Take a train, Bus, Walk, take a boat etc. So yes you have other options.
Where was Clinton with his veto pen...or was he too busy getting blown?
Well they can check whatever they want AND keep records on it because it is a PRIVILEGE not a RIGHT. It is all or nothing man. If you don't like it, take the bus. John Madden does :)
