I fly quite regularly in a small 6 passenger plane over northern Alberta, BC, the Yukon and Northwest Territories.
I can say there are millions of hectares of untouched forest, rivers, lakes and mountains. No cutlines, no surveying lines, no power lines, *nothing*. Every time I fly over the southern Yukon, I think "I wonder what the fishing is like in that lake. It must be completely untouched." But the pilot never is willing to land for me to check it out. Stupid plane needs a stupid runway bla bla bla.:)
and a ? @K + K has less generators than M: Hence, by the assumption of

and consequently
M @(1 2 3 4 5):
The proof is completed. Q.E.D.
I think he's refering to the GST (goods and services tax). It's kina screwed.
See, one doughnut is taxed, but six or more doughnuts aren't. A loaf of bread is taxed, but flour, eggs, yeast and milk aren't. Women's hygene products are taxed (tampons, pads etc) but men's hygene products (razors, shave cream) aren't.
Our Parlamentcritters tend to favour Men in making new laws I believe was the point.
I recall in University, a guy (not me) spent all night writing code for a project due the next day. He stored it on a 360k floppy, and so he wouldn't forget it in the morning, promptly stuck it to his fridge with a magnet.
He didn't realize what he did until the next morning, when he went to print his code.
I believe one reason they are reducing the warranty is to reduce costs.
A company has to put $XX in the bank and not touch it to cover their warranty costs. If they reduce the warranty, they can use the $$ on other things, such as R&D to make more reliable drives. They probabally aren't spending much on R&D or they would have fixed heat problems already.
They aren't making much on the drives now, as they have to pay IBM or whomever owns the patent on MR heads, which cuts into the botom line. If they can squeeze a few more cents out of the drive, the company's books will look better. If they don't fix reliability issues, the companies name will go up in smoke, so they have to get the R&D money from somewhere.
Their PC300GL systems were the epitome of creap, unreliable garbage I've ever worked with.
I don't know about you, but I still have 2 300GL's and 2 Intelstation e-Pro's at home crunching Distributed Net (moooo), and they've been working for 3 years. The only problem I ever had (from the hundreds I've worked with) was when someone put normal 72 pin memory in them, not IBM memory, then they became shitty unreliable hunks of buffalo dung.
Those were the older PII 300GL's, the newer PIII tower models were just plain sweet. We did have a few with bad mainboards, but they were fixed quite fast.
the elcomsoft trial has nothing to do with the RIAA
First, that four letter acronym was on porpoise, merely to give a humourous light to the situation.
Second, if you think the RIAA, MPAA, MS, etc have no stake in this trial, think again. Circumvention of digitally encrypted information is what this trial is about. Without DRM, copy protection, and protection under the law, the economic forecast for those organizations looks dim without the protection the DMCA gives them. Any encryption scheme where the key is given along with the data can be broken (CSS), and a simple substitution algorithm (Adobe) can be broken, so long as people are allowed to distribute the method.
Third, it's not like I just crawled out of my cave after the Y2K 'incident'. Most people who have been reading/. for 4 or so years have heard far too much about this case.
If he can't get back to the US, he won't be able to defend himself, and will be considered guilty (plus charges for not appearing). Then he won't be able to overturn the RIAA...er...DMCA.
people need a never-ending supply of drink coasters.
There's a display as you walk through the door of almost any Canadian Tire store, of AOL cd's with a big sign "Take One". So I take one handful.
They make really good bases to gule my Warhammer 40k terrain to. Much better than cardboard or trying to saw bits of plywood. Superglue a few together and you can drill them to allow screws through them. Very handy!
Typical Americans. Spend a billion to develop a pen that will write in space, and the Russians use a pencil.
Spend Millions developing an Electric Penis Dryer(tm) when the rest of the world just uses their pant leg. When will they learn? How many children could have been fed on those development costs?
Think of the children! (not to mention the shocking results of the lab testing on that product!)
I think it's us older Gen-X'ers (1960's) that get it. We've had time to pay off debt and save a little in the bank.
I've got a decent 8 year old car, a 2 year old truck, bought a house 2 years ago at prime -1 for 5 years, and a few months salary in a GIC (note to the young'uns - DO THIS, take a few months salary, throw it in a low interest 6month or 1 year term deposit. You don't know when you'll be out of work, and when you are, you don't know when you'll get a regular paycheque. It can mean the difference between meat and fresh vegetables or KD and 'mechanically separated animal byproducts' for months on end
I whole heartedly agree with you about the apartment. I lived in many apartments for 10 years or so before I scrimped a downpayment on a house. Even if the housing market collapses, you have a little equity in your home, but none in an apartment. There is no guarantee on interest rates etc. on a mortgage, but at least your landlord won't be raising the rent every few months!

If the first link is down, try the next. Again, RTFA, and the question would have been answered.

How deep do you have to plant them?
before I had a seziure.
Q.E.D. my ass! It shoulda been "Whoo hoooo!".
If what you say is correct, I wouldn't do her with PhysicsScholar's dick and someone else pushing.
From the circular shape, I'd say a station with both kinds of music.
Country and Western.

Perhaps this is to trick users to "always trust content from Microsoft" and thereby have all this stuff rammed down their throat, unaware?
And getting slower. I think we just /.ed a Bird of Prey. Now it's decloaking...firing a torpedo...S*1T![carrier lost]
Flipping moron. Stare into a class IIIb laser for a while. While you're at it, stare at a solar eclipse and do some MIG welding without glasses.
I am convinced that PhysicsScholar is both a bot and candidate for a Darwin Award.
Much worse in my opinion. MSN Messenger could be uninstalled.

You have a fairly low UID for someone to be born in 296 years :-)
