I will admit upon hearing a good CD i never thought i woudl buy on napster (creed) i went out and bought it. Where i work there is a music pool on the server of music thats really music that's been ripped (better quality) I think the reason gateway is doign this is to get support as much as the record companies renounces shared music it's very popular with the common folk, it's basically a better cassette. by supporting it gateway becomes a renagade and gets to sell more peripherals. think about it, i need to get a new computer with a cd burner so i can listen to music so now instead of sitting collecting dust cept when i type up a paper i'm on line listening to my music my way when i want. The polititions who support the RIAA can bite me because the only reason they support them is due to lobbyists
When i drove from CT, CA in 3 days, i took rolls of picture while driving of, landmarks, and pictures of speedlimit signs, with my speedometer in the frame. one shot in colorado was a 75mph zone, and i was going 126mph, and there was a vw passat overtaking me.
How did this get moded up so high, This isn't an axample of a "slippery slope" logic, but based on past actions, ie history. Traditionally it only takes one significant event, to start a ball rolling, example, Roe vs Wade now we support partial birth abortions, now cloning a child. yes it's alittle stretch, but it only takes a small break in a mind set to start an avalanch in belief.
you are such a nini, I'm tired of the freedom fighters, i'm sorry some things are sacred and child porn is not one of them. If I had my way I think ISP's should be required to confidentially report ppl who regularly visit child porn sites. As far as I know not doing so is obstruction of justice. In so doing we can rid our world of some of these perverts. I'm sure after a couple houndred arrest and public humiliation ppl with think perverts will check themselve.
Here is a thought, use conventional measures to get to say the moon, or a space station then use nuclear power to go beyond. somewhat like the movie event horizons. It used conventional measures to go to the outer limits of teh solar system. then used its "gravity drive"
With all due respect, I would not credit the Europeans with as much exploration, ans exploitation. Funny thing is you dont see this in histry books. Perhaps because they were written by Europeans. Anyways many other cultures have explored traded with and left their counterparts unharmed and in most cases for the better. Europeans have analiated, used, enslaved, raped each and every culture they have come across. None of which reperations or apologies have been made. I once spoke to a friend who grew up in England and he explained he had not learned much about slavery until goign out on his own to find information. it was simple glazed over in histry lessons.
A) Insert a unique coded cookie to mark voters
B) Prevent multiple votes from the same IP address or NIC address ( allowing NAT server)
C) Instead of Counting every vote, select random votes from differetn internet demographics simular to TV rating methods.
any of these three should make voting feasable no ?
I worked at UPS and though boxes are thrown around alot, they are cought carefully. writing fragile on abox means exactly that your box will be placed on top aswell as not thrown around. shipping with insurance is a definate necessity for any kind of expensive equipment but one thing you should know is that insurance does not cover improperly packed equipment. so the moral of the story is bring expensive equipment to somewhere like MailBox Etc to have it shipped thus dissalowing you any liability
ok the reason asteroids are worth so much is simply because they are collectables. sorry to say it. there is some value in it's make up but not the cost seen today for collected scraps. I think most asteroids are made of some metal alloy if i'm not mistaken which woudl make them valuable for say mining iron ore. the prblem is hwo od you get it here... put it in a steal capsule and crash it to earth. then have a ship pick the ore up. and hwofeasabel is that concidering shuttle missions cost so much.
lets take it to another step. my employer allows his workers to access the web, more as a perk I guess. if he has to pay a penny a page, with ppl looking at 200 pages a day times.. say 20 employees thats 4,000 pages a day thats 120,000 pages a month making a grand total of $12,000 a month, someone check my math, but guess what that means no more net access for employees. and the secondary effect would be ppl, not wanting to frivalously surf the web so there goes advertising sales. not to mention there is no way I woudl ever pay for a pop up. if I have to pay for content that I want to get only what I request.
Plus with server storage moving into the Terabytes and everyone goign broad band it will only be a matter of time before there is a need to handle huge gobs of info at teh same time.
why when you can no longer rip cd's

I dont know how come so many companies are still persuing this when the RIAA is hell bent on stopping anyoen from ripping CD's be it your own CD or not. whats the point of investing $800 for something that wont allow me to rip and play the CD I just bought. BTW, any CD I purchase that does not play on my CD I return as being faulty. no sence in purchasing something I can't use, regardless of what is says on the lable
well if your idea is to get exposer I think this would eb the best way to do it kdhxfm88.org is too long and klunky to remember as opposed to KDHX88.FM just because your a non profit doesn't mean you HAVE to have a.org TLD. you better hurry up and register it before I do and charge you double. I ran into the same thing, when I let the registration on my web page run out, last I checked it's now a porn site. grrr now my good names stained... ahh well
as with everything it comes down to value vs cost. I spend most of my waking time at work where I have net access, so by the time I get home I read mail and that sabout it. when I first heard about high speed connections I had grand dreams of running my own web service, and doign all this stuff. but the reality of it is it's not worth $50 a month, for something I used essentially, less than 1 hour a day. that equates to $2 an hour to check my e-mail and down load the latest movie reviews. I figure I will switch when the pricing is around $30 an hour.
at first I thought this was just another stupid abuse of technology another device that has no real purpose. but after thinking about it this is like havign a hidden camera, the guy who bangs yoru car, the cop who pushes you around, your boss and the secretary getting busy. click click, perfectly handy evidence. throw in a voice recorder and we are good to go.
what exactly is the purpose of this. After perusing the site i'm not exactly sure what the purpose of this is. at first i thought it was related to terrorist hiding information in images on the internet. can someone shed some light of this situation.

I work for an engineering company and i'm gonna take a shot at this. The building was designed to stand the loads of a plan crash and it did. where it failed was when the fuel exploded and burned with a high temp. also the explosion placed forces from teh inside out on teh building. forces it wasnt' designed to take. the building is primarily suppoorted by beams laced with interconnecting girders to support the floor decking. the building is also braced using the cross braces and the wall membrane. this is what stops teh building from buckling. ok lets get back to what happened. the ten floors that the plane crashed in burned and experienced the forces of the explosion. the heat tempered the steal making it more brittle. if you look closely you will notice the top stories collapse unto the floors below the fire. since it was no longer being supported by the columns, but the deckign which was designed to support the load of ppl, and office furniture each level of decking was shared shared off. thats why it came down so cleanly. now not only did it have to support the weight of the upper floors on teh decking, and not have effect force transferance to the beam the girders just shared off, not only that the force was increased because of the momentum. was this a design failure, no, the building did what it was suppose to do, but a plane crashing into teh building plus a huge explosion from the inside out, plus a sustained high temp fire is just too much.
my heart goes out to all the greaving, we must rebuild and show the worl that we are unyeilding and we never relent to the intimidation of our enmies.
I disagree teh most useful scenerio I think is ina help desk env. whereI used to work you ha dot support win98/nt/macos each time we would have to run to a different station to simulate the client problem. what I ended up using was vnc to view my mac but it still required purchasing other machines.
i disagree, this could actually be a solution for where I work. we have two offices about 50 miles apart. we do alot of cad work and it's a royal pain shipping Cd's back and forth, and getting confused with different file revisions. according to this theory I could get a dry pair and connect both offices. since one already has DSL that office becomes the gateway to the internet for the other. then we can co-ollate our servers to one location. the other office coudl give up there useless dial up and that cash to pay for teh line.
I'm so tired of MS and thier contrary ways. they forever claim that they work for teh benifit of the consumer. Samba is the best if not only solution for interconnectivity between MS networking protocols and Unix. I've used this over and over again in MS, Apple networks, where there is a single Unix server. but yet MS intends to cut this off. how is this helping the consumer. True capitalism you dont muscle a customer to buy your product by stamping out the compitition you make a better product. Ms however does not understand this. Yet on the other hand we have the Gov getting in bed with big business. I really wish slashdot and the like activist woudl start writing their congress man or woman about this. when the old folks prescription goes up or someone threatens to take away there driving privaliges look how quickly they act. we need to adopt the same stance and start fighting for our rights as consumers in a free market.
actually no, he has to pay royalties for any music that is sampled. unlike many so called ska bands which basically pirate older reggae music as original peices of work.
I moved out to california about a year ago. I went through teh usual lines got a job an the second task was finding a house. I tried teh usual, rent.net, yahoo.com, and local pages, . like la.org, such like that. there were many listings but what I realized was that I was looking at a very small portion of what was actually listed. even newspaper website when you search there classifieds, in some cases you get directed to rent sites and not the actual classifieds. anyone who limits themselves to just the net is really limiting their prospects, and in my expereince the only firms which place stuff on the web are large developers with huge overhead, ie more cost.
