I didn't even know a new season was starting tonight, nor do i have time to go home to record it. That's when I remembered that my Tivo should be smart enough (fingers crossed) to record it on it's own.
This is one of those things that lots of people are going to miss if it goes away. Since the building I work in seems to be made out of lead or something, I can't get any radio transmissions. Internet Radio has filled the gap quite nicely. It's even my preferred method (Radiostorm!).
Write/Fax/Call your congressman before we lose this great source of legal music!
Anything that lessens our dependency on oil is a win for everyone. I long for the day we can stop worrying about what the middle eastern countries think.
I'm fairly convinced that if the military was planning on placing weapons in space, they would have thought this through enough to see this may be a problem. And, I'm also sure that they'll find a solution too.
Anyone else find it interesting that rather than refer to the books by their ISBN numbers, dwschulze used their Amazon SKU (which is technicaly the ISBN, but the point is that he called it an ASIN and not an ISBN).
If anything, the problem with camcorders is that they let people take too much film. Who the hell can sit through 8 hours of vacation video footage? Even an hour could be dangerously close to boring you're audience to death.
Yes, I realize that this isn't a fix, but if obscurity makes it just a little harder for people to do bad things then I don't see why it's such a bad thing. Especially in the case of Microsoft, where only they can fix the source, why should the security companies publish the source on the web instead of sending it directly to microsoft? What gains are there to be had by having the source displayed all over the web?
People don't watch it because its good!

People don't watch CSI because it's good, they watch it because there is nothing else worth watching between Survivor and ER. CSI got lucky with it's placement. If it weren't for the placement, I don't think it would have half the viewers it does.
While I don't care too much about the Corel linux distribution, I was really getting excited about the opportunity to use Delphi on linux. I wonder what this means for Kylix.
like it or not, patents have evolved into a corporate weapon, under the current model, how can anyone fault cddb, or amazon for patenting anything they can.
If you are sick of this model, then why not send your congressmen a letter (a *real* letter, one you wrote on paper!). Until the laws regarding copyright are changed, we are just going to see more of these patents rewarded.
This seems to me like it would be going the wrong way. With latex, you are still worried about laying out your document, I was under the impression that the next big thing was to worry about describing your document, and using a translator (ala xslt...)
I've found that the vortex guns by koosh are the best (safe) weapon for cube fights. The vortex may take longer to load, but you can't beet the accuracy or distance you get out of one.
I'm not very familiar with the Amiga, or its rebirth, but from the list you given in the post, it looks like the Amiga has been demoted to a video game system, is the plan for Amiga to compete with consoles, or is the Amiga also going to be an actual PC platform with a broad range of applications?
That is NOT where the name iPlanet came from, Sun purchased a startup called iPlanet and put the name into storage, then when they were looking for a name for the new alliance w/ AOL, they couldn't come up with a new name that wasn't already registered, so they dusted off iPlanet and put it to work.
At least, that's the story the CEO of iPlanet gave when he came to campus
Pagelayout is a bit more difficult and would probably not work, but I see xml+schema/dtd as a way of crossing tex w/ a wysiwyg editor, where if the dtd were detailed enough, then you would have a large enough grammer to describe everything a wyswyg editor gives you, in a portable format.
The beauty of XML is that it allows people to focus on the data and not the formatting. If the word processor "industry" were to get together to support a single DTD (Document Type Definition) so that everyone would know how to react to specifict tags then you could have a format that any WYSWIG editor would render correctly. And, it would also allow people to do tex style editing as well. Using their favorite text editor (xemacs of course!)

Wouldn't the easy solution be to use two machines instead of one? Am I missing something?

Is that possible? That sort of sounds like time travel to me.

This is one of those people that I'm very happy to have seen on the web, but are too scary to meet in real life.
Brings up thoughts of Misery.
I've been using a DLINK USB ethernet adapter w/ Tony Hawk.
You don't HAVE to use the Sony adapter, there are other ones that will work as well.

You're missing the point, this wasn't a switch from windows to linux, this was a switch from Unix to Linux.
They saved money by going to cheap (intel) hardware from the highend stuff they had before, and by losing the license fees.

FWIW, I meant patents, not copyright law. Call it a mental typo.

Any guesses on who it is?

I saw a game where you were a drunken driver.

it was pretty funny but it was meant to teach you about not drinking and driving
