I also want strong safeguards in place to stop people monitoring things they shouldn't be allowed to, and using the results for purpouses that people haven't agreed to.
What happens when people look at you from a 60 degree angle? They see a smeared version of the straight on image. So, unless you stay face on to all the enemy, all the time, you're going to be visible.
Sign with a smaller label. Or hire people to push your music yourself.
Sure, we should smash the payola system into little bits, so that other people _can_ get onto MTV and radio stations, but apart from that I'd be all in favour of people signing whatever contracts they like. If to get the one they want they have to go to a smaller label, then they'll have to depend on the rewards that brings. If they're good enough they'll still get heard.
You know, nobody forces people to sign up with the middlemen. The studios pay for studio time, production, marketing and an advance to live on during the process. And then they lose money for most of the people they do this for.
Sure, they have control for too long, and some people sign up for contracts they probably shouldn't have done, but nobody has to sign up with the major labels.
I hate to point this out, but it's now 2002. The current version of windows is not only 4 years further on (4 years to mix everything even further together), but it's also based on a completely different base operating system.
I have accounts on dozens of web systems (if not hundreds), with slightly different user names and passwords (this one demands a number in my password, this one won't allow me to use a number, etc., etc.).
I want a single way of proving who I am to all of these people. As an extra, I'd like to be able to have seperate additional identities, but I can live without that if necessary.
Oh, and being the leftist that I am, I'd rather have the government provide a central id system (like it does the passport and driving license system) than have a company do it. At least I know how the government is likely to fuck me, I hate to think what companies will think of to do with it.
I want to be entertained by my films and told a story. I want to be presented with a work of art.
When I play games, I want things left nice and open, so I can do what I want, but with films I want to see the directors vision up there on the screen.
I'm currently running a network for about 60 people.
I constantly bump into people whose passwords are "Password", "Password2", the name of the company, their own name, etc.
Part of me wants to force them to use complex passwords. And part of me knows that if I did, I'd spend my whole time resetting passwords for people.
When we got the new printer/copiers in, they had protection on them, so everyone got a 4 digit user id, and a 4 digit password, to retrieve their prints when they got to the printer. They were told that printing would be monitored and charged to their departments, and that they should keep their passwords secret.
I wandered around a week later, and over half of them had little yellow post-its on their monitors, with their id/passwords on them. Because, for some reason, people can't remember an 8 digit number unless it's a phone number.
Wresting control of reproduction out of the anarchic whims of parents and placing it under state control was essential to Huxley's totalitarian dystopia.

I want the ability to monitor everything.

Oh, definitely. Adaptive camouflage would be fantastic. I'd be very interested in seeing results on what patterns work best in real life situations.

does something undocumented
It's not undocumented! It's in the EULA and it tells you it does it!

I'm confused, could you elucidate there?
I thought LISP was a programming language and XML was a data format?

Thanks, that was fantastic, and is being stolen for a journal entry as soon as I get home tonight!
Does the whole plane have a 64k connection?
Or are we all going to have to share it between us?
And what happens when the 15 year old in row 27 loads up Gnutella and uses _all_ the bandwidth?
All you need to do is make sure that the .NET VM itself works in IA64, and all code automatically works in it too.
I live in the UK. Would this be a way for me to chat to American friends really, really cheaply?

I use mine all the time for transporting gigs of data about the place.

Of course there are 'better' ways of doing things.
Personally, I like 'everything is an object' more than I like 'everything is a file'.
YMMV
Gosford Park? A Agatha Christie wannabe!
If you think Godford Park was actually about the murder, then you've kinda missed the point.

Most of the people I know who have personal email addresses - use hotmail. It's the worlds biggest internet app.
I have used Yahoo Calendar as my organising tool before. It's another internet app.
They're easy to use, simple to start, accessible from almost anywhere.
They aren't the future, they're the present.
That way I can get more songs onto my measly MP3 player.
Of course, this gets used in fairly noisy environments, so I can't really hear the sound quality lapsing.
That's pretty funny. I'd have chosen 1984, which is definitely a dystopia.
I know what a dystopia is, I just don't think that BNW is one.

You appear to have mispelled utopia.
