Solar power won't work well in certain areas of the country. In western PA its cloudy almost 2/3 of the time. I think fuel cells are the best bet so far, the only thing holding them back is price. Hopefully that will change.
Yeah replacing those lead battery cells every few years is really worth the cost. Electric cars won't be a viable altarnative unless someone works out cold fusion. Thats great your electric car can go from 0-60 in 3 seconds, but how many miles does it go on a single charge? I bet far less than my $12 tank of gas. The truth is that nothing is more cost effective than a gallon of gas right now.
I can bet you that 99.95% of schools already have filtering software in place, so whats the big deal here?
Don't even mention nader, he is the most left wing person I have ever seen. Against nuclear power? Come on, whats pollutes less, a million tons of coal or a small lump of plutonium? When the plutonium is depleated you can just rocket it into the sun. Its a non issue because nasa has been using plutonium on space probes for years.
Nader also likes affermative action? Why should a certain group of people need special treatment? That just further divides the gap. I hire who is most qualified for the job, if more while males are qualified then I hire them.
Most people here aren't old enough to remember the tipper gore music censorship campaign, thats why you have those Explicit Lyrics on cds. Remember that before you vote for gore.
And just who would enforce this law? Would the gun police show up one day knocking on your door asking to see the illegal guns? Thats like telling me I can't leave the toaster plugged in while I'm away.
Have you ever talked with someone from a country with strict gun control like england? Sure the murder rate is lower, but other crimes are MUCH higher. You can't even keep a nice stereo in your car because of how quickly it will get stolen. That same problem goes for canada, I know people who went to canada to see a concert and their cars were robbed. If england is so safe, why do they have cameras on every street corner and highway constantly looking for criminals?
Have you check crime statistics on australia? Home invasions are up 40%, yes thats right 40%. The criminals know you don't have a gun so they can break in and use their illegal gun to rob/kill/rape or whatever they feel like.
The college probaby fixed their dns servers to make napster/mp3.com point to 127.0.0.1 or something similar and the napster ports are probably blocked at router level.
I hope you use at least a 100mbit switched backbone otherwise its going to be a severe bottleneck. You might even want to consider gigabit ethernet, however gigabit over copper is not wise.
Seriously, whats so important that you need to carry encrypted data with you all the time? You are better off printing it out and keeping real copies in a locked safe somewhere.
How easily we forget the lonely comma seperating the phrase "being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people" See that comma? It makes two seperate statements from that sentence.
Nader doesn't like nuclear power? wtf what pollutes less, a small chunk of plutonium or millions of tons of coal? When the plutonium is depleated you just rocket it into the sun. Don't give me that crap about contamination, nasa has been using nuclear grade plutonium on space probes for years. They encased in some type of ceramic thats designed to withstand an impact.
He is all for affirmative action? All that does is divide people further saying women and blacks should get special treatment. I pick the person best qualified for the job. If there are more white males are qualified than black females, who do you think gets hired?
This is either a sick joke or blatant troll. Moderators please see to fixing this post.
Maybe you have texas confused with china when it comes to executing orphans. I'm all for executing criminals. They take away someones right to live, so as punishment theirs gets taken away. None of this humane lethal injection either lets give them a choice or hanging, firing squad, drowning, or the method used on their victim.
People have been violent ever since they started walking upright. Its human nature. Taking away illegal guns is impossible. Do you think joe crackhead is going to give up his gun, or will the old lady who lives alone in the ghetto give up hers? Taking away guns is not the solution, if you are set to kill someone it won't matter how, theres literally millions of ways.
By the way there is a difference between having a license to drive and a license to own a gun. The second ammendment states its a *right* while driving a car is a privilege. You can easily take away a privilege but not a right.
Columbine is nothing new, kids have been shooting up schools for years, its happened since the 1930's. Maybe if the parents of these kids happened to walk in on them during the 48 hour bomb making marathon Columbine wouldn't have happened.
Its good to have stupid people removed from the gene pool, it can only benefit society. Back in the times when man had to hunt and forage for food the stupid and weak would be eaten by lions which took care of the problem.
If you are stupid enough to leave a gun laying around or don't educate your kids on how easily they can blow their head off its your fault, not the government for letting you have guns.
Thats all well and good that your bunch of 486s and p100's beat a k6 and celeron, but how much space did these boxes use up? How much energy do they consume? What is the network throughput? I hope you are running it switched otherwise hubs would suck.
You just answered the question yourself, it gets so much attention because linus is working on the project. Its funny how he's not even doing anything commercial with linux, he knows you can't make money directly.
Stop talking out of your ass before posting. First the 49 day uptime bug affects win95 and win95a not NT4 as you suggested. The file that causes this comes with the default install and is easily fixed with an upgrade.
Now according to your FUD every NT box must be rebooted every 49 days? I don't think so. We have windows boxes at work that get many months of uptime.
What if someone didn't switch from nt to linux, what business is that of yours? According to netcraft major sites such as dell, intel, nasdaq, and nfl all use iis/win2k. If nt was so horrible as you seem to suggest, why do so many major companies use it? How many stories have there been about bugs and security holes in internet explorer/windows? You just can't stand to admit that linux is not the end all/be all of operating systems. I happen to agree that redhat *is* junk. It costs almost as much as a oem copy of win98, has security holes, and has a bloated default install.
You know that if this was about win2k instead of redhat there would be 500 posts saying "linux r00lz MS suckz0rs!!". The amount of bias that goes on here is incredible. Somehow taco missed the story about hotmail switching over to win2k. Thats a pretty major story, but since its pro MS it was quietly ignored.
Its not about news anymore, its about posting a summary that will get everyone mad and generate lots of comments, or should I call them banner hits? Apparently michael chose to use the word "decided" while the real article clearly states AT&T is "considering". You talk of your hate for large greedy corporations while knowingly posting incorrect material to get those banner hits. Just admit you've completely sold out.
Its because I have to pay for social programs that do nothing to fix the problem, people that are just too damn lazy to work, and plain old government waste. Do you know the FDA regulates how big the holes in swiss cheese are? I'm paying for that! Why should I get a job when theres welfare, SSI, social security, etc etc? Just sit back and leech from the people who do pay taxes or trip over your shoelaces and sue nike for millions.
Its like the classic bumper sticker "keep working, millions on welfare depend on you".
You can't beat the price/performance factor. I bought two celeron 333's and have them comfortably running at 500mhz. In benchmarks its equal to two athlon 500s or pIII 500s. Keep in mind this was put together a year ago.

Digital music sucks, analog and vacuum tubes all the way.

Its funny to read the andover page that says "Leading the linux revolution" and yet netcraft says they run solaris. Practice what you preach.

Use a non x86 alternative such as Sparc, Alpha, or MIPS. All three happen to outperform an equivelent clocked pentium.

I plan on loading linux on my penis, maybe that stupid bird will stop crashing.
