There are probably people right now who are arguing that technology is evil, because we've lost the survival skills we had back in the stone age. If some young kids never learn some old thing that's done by computers anyways, what's wrong with that?
What type of socket/slot does the crusoe use? There are wearables with pentiums (233MHz best i've seen), so if the crusoe uses the same socket, you could put it in instead of a pentium.
You can memorise a lot. With a week of practicing all day, i wouldn't be surprised if you could memorise 1000-10000 lines of text, and that can be a lot of information. And then there's photographic memory:)
Aptiva - last i heard - was a desktop. The thinkpad is the laptop, and the workpad(?) i the palm-clone. It's funny that one of the biggest companies with "linux certified" laptops is using microsoft's latest stupid idea.
A better way to do it than the 900 number suggestions would be to have an account with your ISP, where you can add as much money as you want, then you have an account manager on you ISP's site where you can choose to allow a site to take money, and then that site will let you in.
I'm in canada, so the law here might protect me a bit (although i don't really expect it). Even though i have DSL i use a firewall (ZoneAlarm 2) that will ask me for each program if i want it to use the internet....what's the name of the file? brodcast?
Well, even if Quake is GLPed, it's only the source. You can compile it, you can play mods that are all original content, but you still have to pay if you want the levels/textures/monsters. It's like releasing the sourcecode for a movie player program that came with a movie sold online: You can compile the program, you can play movies of the same format, but if you want the actual movie you have to buy it.
Hey, i've got ZoneAlarm 2. You do have to allow each application to access the internet, but after all you apps have been added, it's not much trouble. I get a few alerts, but i never understand the logfile. You can lock internet access while allowing selected applications to get through, and you can stop all internet access. Is there any movie/exe name i should watch for?
I don't believe this would be possible, because we have no idea what the numbers mean. They could be a bored/insane person making up random number, who's being imitated by others. Projects like distributed.net need to have some idea of what the numers are (with the cracking challenges, they know how to decode with a password), but here we don't know anything.
I use those keyboards at school, and they SUCK. Oh, sure, you can type accents with one key. That's about all you can type with one key, on those keyboards. Most of the keys have 5+ symbols on them, and it takes a lot of work to type something that's easy on a normal keyboard.
What do you think of working with napster so people can buy the MP3s for something like 50 cents each? I know people will still download the music free, but i would like to be able to download MP3s and pay Metallica directly, instead of buying CDs. I pay less, and you get more.
The only problem is that some people don't have credit cards, so you would need a new system. If you work with banks and napster to arrange some payment system, there would be a lot of people who choose to pay to download MP3s

There's nothing alarming about that! It's good to have one global language, and it can't be every language. English is simple (at least to get the basic idea through), flexible, popular, and evolving rapidly, so it becomes even more popular... (the rich get richer, the poor get poorer)
There will be a common language on the internet, and it will probably evolve from english. English is probably the most-used language on the internet, and it's the language the internet was made in, so it's the easiest to use when talking about technology.
For most of the internet to chnage to other languages like Esperanto and Lojban, there would have to be a good reason - either it's much easier to use (and can be used) or everyone else uses it (the reasons english is used).
The common language will be based on english, and as the internet grows, new words will be added and old words removed. The structure of sentences might change too - when we're typing an email, we use normal english, but when we're chatting or playing a game, we drop words and change the structure so we can send the fast as fast as possible and still get the idea.
Oh, and another thing I forgot: Right now, even if i knew all the technology words in french, i wouldn't use it, because i know english better. It may have gotten a bad start (like Mac computers), or maybe it is a harder language, but now only a few people use it, there no reason to switch to it from english, and some of those people switch to english. It has so few users that almost no one who doesn't use it wants to use it.
I live in canada, and i know french and english (and go to a french school), but i only use french when i have to. I don't like the accents (they make typing slow), and there aren't enough technology words. At school, we're always forced to talk in french, and they even take english words and change the spelling to make stupid words that they say are the "right" words (one example is ouebe. Guess where that came from).
French isn't used enough, and it doesn't have enough techonology words, to be popular. For some reason (im not sure if this is true or not), it seems that french has a lot more grammar and spelling rules - I can write nearly anything in english with no trouble, but when i write something in french, i have more mistakes. And it doesn't help that most french organisations are trying to stop the language's evolution.

I think what he wanted to say was that he could only get this music through napster. If metallica didn't sell CDs (or any recordings), and then complained that people were pirating MP3s, what would you think? Napster is mostly used illegaly, but some people do use it to distribute their music that isn't sold anywhere, or to find music that isn't sold anywhere. If these lawsuits shut down napster, this legal music distribution will be stopped of slowed.
I know this is illegal, but as i've said below, if I could pay 50 cents per MP3, directly to metallica, i would. For one CD, what do they get, a few $? If i bought one CD's worth of MP3s under this system, I would pay less, and they would get more. This would make it easier to buy the music too, for 2 reasons:
1: It's a lot easier to download an MP3 than to go buy a CD. I can only play it on my computer, but that's where i spend (waste) most of my time that i can listen to music, so it wouldn't make much difference
2: It's easier to pay 50 cents than 20$. 50 cents is nothing to me. I can throw away two quarters and i won't care, so why not pay metallica? 20$ is different. That's 1/3 of what i get in a month, so I don't spend 20$ every day.
Metallica needs to work with napster. I've downloaded a few of their MP3's, and i would buy the CD, but if i could pay them 50 cents per MP3, and the money went directly to them, i would do it. They probably don't get that much from one CD, so if we could pay less, and directly to them, they would get more. And it's much easier to download an MP3 than to go and buy a CD, so they would get more sales.

Let anyone download the program & source for free, but if they want a CD or printed manual, they buy it from you.

And then what? lose 4 more weeks pay to find out that the company doing the check wins because they have more money?

It will evolve or die.
Hey, you too! twice, someone put up a link that seemed normal, but when i opened it in a new window....i closed the window right away.

You've discovered the MPAA's secret plan: They want to eliminate DVDs even before they're obsolete!
