Agreed. I would like to formally invite the Trike to the Pacific Northwest landmarks on a dreary, grey, rainy day (such as today). It's terrible up here! May I suggest you streetview through the SDSU campus if you want to find someplace pretty. God knows the women there are better looking... **off to the SDSU streetview to look for hotchicks**
I remember the ash from Mt St Helens in our driveway as a kid. It wasn't as exciting/fatal as getting hit with "showers of pebbles", but still pretty cool.
And they continue to. Now that Sadam is gone, a Shiite controlled Iraq is siding with Shiite controlled Iran in insisting that Iran should be allowed a peaceful nuclear energy program.
I'm not sure I do get it yet, but I think I'll at least wait until Google digitizes everything before I get too worked up over it. None of these works do me any good if I can't get to them. And it doesn't bother me if wordsnyc (above) doesn't get paid for his parent's work.
All downhill, really? I'm honestly interested in the subject and not sold on either side. What is your argument for why the internet was better before? I've always though that making information open and easily accessible was a good thing, though obvously large corporations (AOL) are just as good at taking advantage of this as your average user.
Oh just wait, they'll start fighting too... just give them the time to go through their natural resources without anywhere left to spread to (and it seems they are approaching that point).
Unless of course they hitch a ride to Mars and have it terraformed before we do, then I'll agree with you.
The problem is that the business plan sucks... it's just that the cybersquatter has already thought of that business plan and happens to be employing it successfully.
and didn't his predecessor Neal Stephenson come up with Metaverse in Snow Crash? Or has that word not made it into science yet?
I guess we'll have to give it a few years, probably until someone finds something relevant to do in Second Life besides dick around.
"I think the biggest flaw of Linux for a Windows user is that it's different."
Ha. Different isn't the problem. Different was the reason I tried it in the first place. But last week when I installed Ubuntu Server, it had bug (#151942 I think, it's been known about for years) and wasn't compatible with my old Pentium M. So I went with Debian, but the website's instruction are 6 months old now and is installing software that isn't working (my best guess: virtualmin.com server software isn't freeware anymore?).
I'm sure the forum at the website will help me out and I look forward to learning it, but yeah, the flaw of Linux is that it's just not ready for people like me (a nerd, but not a coder), let alone the general public enduser.
I've enjoyed the Extreme Elimination Challenge show as much as the next guy, but what else are they watching where they want tv on their phones? I dont even get cable at home anymore, let alone do I want tv on my phone.
Different strokes I guess.

Right, we are talking about new BMWs here. The original "green fashion" has already been adopted by the poor. It's called walking.
I think his motto is "Work, not not-work".

There is a really good talk by the reCAPTCHA found, Von Ahn, describing their method for validation a word and how they are using it to digitize old NYT articles. I think it's his one: http://www.youtube.com/v/Aszl5avDtekhl=en&%23038;fs=1&%23038;rel=0

Yes but would any of this matter to anyone but military strategists if the "web" wasn't released into the public domain by CERN in 1993? I think definitely not.
The web's first site, still around today: http://info.cern.ch/ .
No, netbooks should be graded on price, favoring CHEAP, compared to their mobility.
And if they go for the same price AND they are about the same size. Then why shouldn't you grade on graphics and keyboard usability.

I have my problmes with ye olde party, but I really can't stand much more of this BS. Somebody is going to have to do something.

I mean...
I, for one, welcome our new suffrage yielding corporate overlords.

Doesn't Iran not recognize copyright laws? Where is gutenberg.net.ir? Couldn't they have all foreign works published there?

"Extra karma if they incorporate head tracking." I don't see their price listed in karma? How much karma is $100K?
That's because I meant successor...

I'm still not sold. Can anyone from Kansas grab a science book and find me the section about the weaknesses of this "theory"?
