  2. what does this mean for palm pilot people? on UPDATED: Transmeta's Crusoe Unveiled · · Score: 0
    okay, so what does this mean for the palm pilot et al? Will the Transmeta chips run palm stuff (prolly not... I dunno)? I like palms... Does this mean convergeance or stiff competition w/ the Palm (architecturally speaking)?

  4. apple newton... on Xerox Wins Prelim Patent Ruling Against 3Com · · Score: 1
    perhaps you may also remember how 'good' that recog. was... a sentence like:

    "I went to the store"

    would come out as:

    "I slept with a whore"

    It was a joke. In fact a big joke because the media made a lot of fun of it...

  6. Re:Bowie supports all the old RIAA crap on David Bowie Opens His Own Online Bank · · Score: 1
    If you believe what you have just said, you know little of rock musicians. Rock and Roll is not about music. It is about style, attitude, risk, ego, emotion, and music. There are few jobs quite like a rock musicians. Their job is to entertain. Their job is to make you feel. And they get paid for it. It is a social contract. I will pay you to entertain me, to make me hurt, or make me feel good, make me feel something. You take my money and feed me these things. It is a continuous cycle. When the artist can no longer deliver his side of the contract, you move on to another artist. The fact that Bowie has been pumping out stuff that sells so well for this long (Oh, and by the way, Yesterday was his 53rd birthday) is astounding. Few musicians have produced quality for that long. All too often it is to make a few bucks then retire early. Bowie, Dylan, McCartney, etc. have all gone done this. You want them to be the rock and roll gods, you just don't know it. Rock and Roll is the greatest coup ever pulled.

  7. amen to that! on David Bowie Opens His Own Online Bank · · Score: 1
    So many of our greatest artists worked for money. Wasn't it Michelengelo who was commisioned to paint the Cistine Chapel? Many of our greatest artists were not just in it for the art...

  8. uno problemo with ecampus... on David Bowie Opens His Own Online Bank · · Score: 1
    many college classes require you to have a current, new version of a book. i would bet that ecampus would have a hard time filling orders for brand new books. they would have no problem with books that were 1 year or more old, but not new books. maybe, i'm wrong. i dunno...

  9. get over it... it's cool. on David Bowie Opens His Own Online Bank · · Score: 1
    Oh, so what??!!? I happen to be a member of BowieNet. Do you think Bowie is running BowieNet in his basement? NO, it is a joint operation between UltraStar and Concentric Networks. They don't hide that fact. It says so right on their site (go to "Help" in Premium Services). The thing that makes it cool isn't that he has an ISP, it is that he is active on his ISP. The site has news, pictures, events, and even chat services that allow you to chat with HIM on a regular basis. I'm sure BowieBanc will offer cool stuff like that as well. Besides, did you read the terms? They are great, check it out.

  11. jeeze, won't you all just pipe down! on The Secret History of Perl · · Score: 1
    i mean really! isn't the entire point of different languages about choice to begin with? just like the idea of different OS's? is there a best or worst? bragging about who's script is better than who's or if one language is more capable or less resistant to failure due to built in fault tolerance that someone else might not like isn't the point. the point is to have options. arguing only pisses people off and they stop working on projects like this (or may never start them).

    let's keep things to a low roar (as my father would say)...

  12. oh... and... on Amino Got More Than the Amiga Name · · Score: 1
    it prolly won't help a WHOLE lot, but prolly would a little if the Amiga OS were open sourced cuz UAE emulates just the hardware, it runs the OS natively. So the hardest stuff has been worked out but there is still a lot of compatibility stuff and speed stuff that could be worked out if more people lent some hands to the project. You can go to the UAE site directly via here:

    http://www.freiburg.linux.de/~uae/

    You can also get Fellow which is a great emu as well (and a lot faster) but not as compatible with a lot of software from here:

    http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/524 4/

    Then of course there is AmiNet which has TONS of software on it... www.aminet.org (i think)

  17. Re:argghh! on Interview: Ask Steve Wozniak · · Score: 0
    not that i know of, however you can read your own list of stories that you have submitted by clicking on the "Submit Story" button on the left side. It will show you the last 5 (i think it's five) stories you have submitted. I know I'm not the first person to say this, (and not the last either, I'm sure) but it is rather aggrevating when you submit a good idea for a story and it gets ignored... Oh well...
