Okay, I'm confused -- this is federal, right? How can it be enforced? I thought federal legislation could only affect interstate activities or those involving federal property. I remember hearing how the civil rights law was pasted onto a transportation bill.
So, I would assume someone would need to access a computer across state lines to actually trigger investigation by federal authorities. Does this mean that all schools are now federalized?
Well, if you really want to know that API, check out Windows NT/2000 Native API Reference and burn out your eyes by looking into the sun! Er, big blue ball.
I suppose most people who are looking at this and think it's neat have never used a Timex Sinclair 1000 (a nice computer with a standard 2K of RAM, but my family splurged and bought the 16K expansion module). We loved the thing (bought several games, including frogger -- load off your tape player and play in glorious black and white!), but had one major problem using it for any period -- the keyboard was a membrane one like this. You would push buttons, and you didn't know if it happened or not. Of course, this condition was made worse b/c the thing was so slow that there would usually be a delay.
Trust me, you fingers like tactile response. I always figured the Star Trek keyboards gave some sort of vibration or something back to the fingers. Think about it -- do you want your weapons control system NOT controlled by a button that you can feel push in?
12k, eh? You need to check out http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/tiny/ teensy.html, which describes just how to make a small Linux ELF program. Fed up with program bloat, the author found just how small he could make a program: 45 bytes.
The benefit is to discredit Microsoft. Once people abandon Microsoft for servers, MSSQL is dead. Then Oracle can give up the OSS movement except to run on it.
Kill the competition, especially if Microsoft, at any cost!
Explode when dropped is nothing -- I keep my PDA in my pants pocket. I don't want any weird radiation... well, you know.
A colleague of mine was talking about his cell phone. We asked him if he was concerned about eye cancer. He informed us that he keeps his cell phone clipped to his belt and uses a handset, so he didn't have to worry about cancer. We smiled and nodded.
Actually, have you ever complained about spam to Hotmail?
I did once. I wasn't on my normal machine, so I forwarded the message to abuse@ and neglected to send the headers. It didn't matter. Within 24 hours, I got a reply (from a person) stating Hotmail had terminated the account.
The fact that I didn't include the headers somewhat scares me, but I don't know if they had received other similar complaints. I was impressed with their swift retribution, however. Nice suspicions, but they just don't match my experience.
So you didn't benefit from having food brought to you in trucks, didn't work with those educated in schools, and didn't benefit from the innovation and research brought forth by loyal men and women looking for ways to kill others? And perhaps you didn't consider yourself under threat from invasion because of the military. Come to think of it, when you left the US, where did you go? Probably to a country protected in some part at some time by the US military.
Now, PBS pushes a mindset and "religion" with which I don't agree, but I'm paying for it.
My father-in-law used to fly fighter jets for the USAF. He complains about the buttons being reversed on the control stick.
In other words, if they can't even get a fighter control stick right that they make a point of showing several times (and they must have had several experts to say what the stick looked like), what hope is there?
Do you even know what censorship is? An industry can rate itself. That is fine. Censorship is when the govenment (you know them because they are allowed to carry guns and kill folks as long as paperwork is filled out). So many folks cry censorship when companies or industries are regulated what they (though I hate to say the word) own.
Separation of Church and State isn't in the Constitution -- get a copy.
Perhaps we cannot legislate morality, but we legislate ethics. In fact, that's the main thing we legislate.
Applications wouldn't work out

OS X on x86?

I believe OSX/86 would fail for the simple reason that Adobe/Microsoft (those two represent 90% of Mac software sales, don't they?) wouldn't want to produce 3 versions of every product:
Photoshop Win32
Photoshop OSX/86
Photoshop OSX/PPC
After all, isn't the point of the Mac simplicity (I know, I know, but that's why many buy them)? Now, everyone buying OSX versions would need to check the box (or both versions could be on the CD). Even then, developers would need to compile each program twice, and completely abandon any hope of using inline assembler.
I would love to see OSX/86, but it's not going to happen. In addition, think of what it would do to Mac sales if people saw the exact same software running on a machine 1/2 the cost.
I believe this is part of the media disinformation about "freedom of speech." It annoys me.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
Where does the US Constitution guarentee everyone to say whatever they want? It guarntees that the government will not prevent the free excercise of speech, but corporations can do as they please.

What's the one where they ski and shoot (biathelon)? Now THAT would be worth watching!

Which you found out using FactorPad for your Palm, right?

For $100 million, you don't think MS couldn't get all the hidden APIs they wanted?
After all the complaining NASA did about someone going up for $20 million, I don't think they'd want to spend the PR effort on that price.

Like this?
Forget 5 1/4. My high school computer teacher had a heavy duty punch that would punch a hole in 3.5" disks. Talk about easing every last cent!
More to the point, it would be an infringement on Constitutional rights to deny the ability to give up rights.
Also, wouldn't it slow down the earth like putting one's arms out when spinning on ice?
My father would always give the phone # & address of another rat shaft.
True, but we'd be crammed like sardines and be 3 hours late!

Microsoft created the best of all possible world -- fast but crashing or slow but stable. You get to choose. ;)

Heh. Why did I want multitasking on my 486-33 at 640x380?
