I've never bought any WD drives because of those reasons. I've had a Maxtor UDMA/33 drive fail after one year, but they replaced it free. (SCSI is another matter--the Maxtor SCSI drive (no longer manufactured) in my NeXT is still going strong after ten years!). Seagate SCSI has also been rock solid.
Yeah, although there might be tighter restrictions on broadcasting. But is a low power station that much different from playing my stereo loud (which uses much more than 100 watts of power)?
Although, you can get arrested for public obscenity if you play songs with nasty words too loud on your stereo--the same rule applies to radio--hence the "radio edit" versions of songs.
Let me get this straight, the server checks the cd in your computer and then lets you listen to those mp3's? Wasn't the whole point of mp3's to listen to songs you don't have? I mean, that's why napster is so popular. And if I want mp3's of cd's I do have, I'd just use cdparanoia and lame, not some proprietary windows junk.
Perhaps "Survival of the Smartest" would be a better term. Intelligence always wins out over brute strength, if that's what is meant my fit.
Natural Selection does apply--the weak/dumb don't make it (see the Darwin awards), but it's rather ironic that it hasn't done to much to improve our species. People like Methuselah lived to be over 900 years old, but we can't get anywhere near that. The increased life span has been due to improved medical technology, not evolution/natural selection.
The penguin-in-a-sweater would make a great logo. After all, it's cute, it's a known symbol, what more can you ask for? Maybe this should be the logo for the "sysadmin at the south pole".
But go ahead and help if you can (meaning you're not a poor college student like me).
Maybe we'd end up with 40 candidates and none get over 10% of the vote. Maybe we'll need a runoff election every four years. But would that be such a bad thing? Maybe it would give a suitable underdog a shot for once.
Not likely.
For those of you who aren't familiar with the American electoral system (which, unfortunately, includes a great many Americans), here's what happens if nobody gets a majority of the electoral votes (actual popular votes only decide which candidate the electoral votes of a state go to):
There is NOT a runoff election. There never was, and never will be, unless the constitution is amended!
The election is decided by the House of Representatives (the Senate gets no say).
Which means, that if no candidate gets a majority of the vote, it goes to the house, the Republicans vote for Bush, the Democrats vote for Gore, and Bush gets elected (which might be the lesser of two evils).
It's interesting that Inprise (which, IMHO, is not nearly as good a name as Borland was) is considering open-sourcing at least one of its products. This being on the heels of a Linux version of JBuilder, one can only hope for the best!
Not to mention the annoying "Shop" button next to the Stop button, which was introduced in 4.7. What's even worse is that I sometimes mistake it for stop! (Yes, I have text-only buttons because Netscape looks horrible in 24bpp.)
Good, it's about time someone with significant resources has decided to back the Mozilla project! If the next Milestone is as much of an improvement over M11 as M11 was over M10, we might actually have a usable browser!
Let's just hope that RH doesn't try to make the browser too biased toward their distribution.
Not really. I have an AMD K6-2 300, and my friend has a celeron 300, and mine is MUCH faster, and I think a P3 is slightly faster than a K6-2 at the same MHz, which would make the celeron much worse than a P3. Sure, his is equally fast under a light load, but put it under a heavy cpu load (ie emulation) and his bites the dust. The reason? No external cache. (InHell finally saw the light and put a little in later models).
First of all, Christianity is not a "cult". A cult is a small, secretive organization--like the Montana Freemen. To say Christianity is a cult is like saying Buddhism is a cult or Darwinistic Humanism is a cult. All of which are preposterous.
And yes, Christians' beliefs ARE different that those of others. Christianity is the ONLY religion where:
You don't have to work to get into heaven--just accept God's free gift of salvation
You can be sure of going to heaven. Most other religions are "I hope I did enough good works to get into heaven."Christianity is "I AM going to heaven, because I have accepted Jesus into my life.
"I wish that Christians could watch Xena on tv and realize that it would be no less foolish to believe in that."
Of course it's foolish to believe in Xena--she doesn't offer hope for eternal life!!

MP3 audio==MPEG Layer 3
MP2 audio==MPEG 1, Layer 3
MPEG2 (DVD)==MPEG 2, layer 1

Just my $.02 to clear things up.
