Rich, or patient? Computer technology pricing, in almost every case, is going down all the time. If PC makers could make ITX formfactor PCs with a 10(!) watt power supply for $250, they will, eventually. But maybe not tomorrow.
The computers and other electrical hardware I use in my day-to-day life is far more efficient than those of the past.
Yes, right, because the story about President George Bush not having seen a supermarket scanner before is exactly as relevant as police roadblocks on voting day.
I think it's fair to assume that as time goes forward, in cases like this where accusations are not backed up by evidence (in any venue, be it/. or talking to people at a bar or whatever), that the "is utter bullshit" % is going to rise while the "end of Linux" is going to fall, as will the "wait for the evidence" ones (even they don't have infinite patience).
There's a guy on a street corner around here that shouts at busses and passing cars every day, something about the Seattle Police (the rest is unintelligable). At first, I admit I was mildly curious about what he could have been saying. Later, I was bothered by the noise. Now, I accept it as the work of either a crazy or delusional man. He's never made any sense/hasn't presented his case very well.
Google's quality does seem to be going downhill, but I strongly suspect their splitting blogs out to their own index will do a LOT towards reducing the decline, and perhaps reversing it. Anything they can do to make sure people aren't abusing the system is a good thing.
(Here's hoping the next thing they split out are mailing list archives.)
Who knows if they're right? They've refused to offer up the evidence. I think it's fair for the "zealots" to dismiss what they say until they see evidence, especially since this conflict has been ongoing for months now. How many times can you hear that SCO says you're infringing if they don't give you any evidence whatsoever before you ignore 'em?
I wish/. would stop giving them the free press over it, but I know it's in their right, and I can freely ignore it too. (At least I know that my replying to this won't enhance their coverage, as I'm just a comment in the mass.)
Windows Media Player uses DRM crud, but I've only run across it with certain WMV files, so far.

The person won't be writing code for it. The user will be installing software that uses MySQL. There's a lot of MySQL based software out there that doesn't require knowledge about SQL, My or otherwise. I thought that was clear from my original post, I apologize if it was not.

Right, because all software out there requires an intimate knowledge of MySQL in order to run them. Er, no. Most if not all of the MySQL-based software I've seen automatically sets up the tables and handles all the queries in the backend. Very easy on the user.
Now if you're a sys-admin, and you're running a series of boxes, then I'd probably agree that you should implicitly know or be able to figure out how to install MySQL, amongst other things. But for average joe "I have a website" user, such knowledge is not really necessary.
Yeah, we have jazz on one of our NPR. It's annoying. We have another NPR station but I never listen to it. It probably has jazz, too. When they're playing music, my radio is usually off, since all the other talk radio is run by seriously demented crazy folk.
Simple, the virus author just inserts some text into one of the many random EULAs you have to "accept" to use your computer. "Any text you type in to the keyboard is now owned by us." Who would know?
As CSS can be broken with a 1 line piece of perl, I'd consider it a "keep out" sign as well. However, the DMCA has been used (I believe?) successfully against its authors and distributors.
I'd be all for renaming all streets from names to numbers, or to at least reorganize them so they're alphabetical. It's completely non-intuitive to have Pine, Pike, Union, University, Seneca, Spring, etc. (Seattle's only saving grace is that the streets are paired, downtown, (PP, UU, SS).
Remember the newspapers from 1984? Whenever they had to disappear someone, they had to go around and recover any newspaper articles (amongst other things) that referred to them, and then re-issue the articles w/ someone else's name (or not at all).
Perfectly fair. However, a riot hitting my area would be pretty unlikely, unless people are protesting hospitals (I live near 'em).
I think if a riot was going on, and I was walking around in the area, then yes, I should not expect the feds to help me. That'd be rediculous. I don't go where it isn't safe.

150GB probably cost them about $20, assuming they're over their bandwidth provider commits.

Now you please just reach in your pocket, I don't want any of your cough money.
Not everyone can modify code to query X for how much memory is being used...
On that note, however, do you have that code available online? That would be useful to me - I'm trying to track down memory use of my X servers.
Sure, choice is good, but why not make it easy on yourself and choose "vi" - the only correct choice.

obOfftopic rant on streets

The warp engine would be used to see the new Enterprise-esque horny Vulcan porn, of course.
Judging by the posts I've seen so far, it sounds like people are more interested if the HERF will fire /through/ the front grille of crown vic's.
Does non-orientable mean we must be unable to determine their sexual preference or do the judges have something against Asians?

HAAhahaha. Oh man, the flashbacks. That is exactly how Everquest is. Hahahahah.
Thanks man, that is great.
