Everyone is waiting around for 64-bit chips to hit the home computer market at resonable prices, is this some kind of protest "bits, we don't need no stinkin bits".
On a related note, I'm going to be designing my own 32 bit system. It's going to be pretty cool having an asthetically pleasing case, and run most all of the common software out there, but make the operating system run on top of bsd. Then I'll make really high-end systems, and education type systems, and laptops.
Now I'm 95% of the way done with this whole project so I've hired an advertising firm to come up with some commercials. I figure I'll show joe average sixpack switching from the normal x86 windows machine, to my machine, I'll call them 'Switch-Ads'.
My proprietary systems will never run on anything else, and you will be forced^H^H^H^H^H^H encouraged to only buy via our website.
I'll call them MOC's... and the company will be named Orange.
Just ask... yahoo... netcraft... and slew of other servers that rely on BSD. If you want a server and you want the best bang for the buck, freebsd is the best price out there. (free)
For all the trolls who say BSD isn't GPL, well duh, BSD is in itself a license. Sometimes you just gotta wonder. If linux was so wonderful then why would apple choose BSD for OS X and not linux? It's more than just the license, BSD is a very nice OS that is wonderfully stable.
Rule of Thumb, if it works in linux it will more than likely work in freebsd, and vice versa, well that is until you try to compile a kernel not of that OS:-)... try it before you bash it.
Okay well with Episode I we got Jar Jar, then there was the ewoks in V I think. That covers tha younger crowd.
Then we got Senator/Princess/soon-Milf/ Amedalla and Pricess Laya. That covers the middle age male crowd.
Then we got Anakin, Obi Wan, Luke, and Han Solo. That covers the middle age female crowd.
Then we got Episode II Yoda whoppin some ass, but then getting really tired. There's a happy senior citizen crowd.
I think Lucas is just trying to appeal to as many people as possible to make as much money as possible. Make something for everyone and everyone will want one.
First, this movie isn't meant for adults so don't give me crap about freekin no indepth plot, or character definition. Kids who read these books aren't going to care about all that crap, what they care about is getting to see if their imagination is the same as everyone elses when they see the movie on the screen.
Side Note here: My favorite part of this movie?? Simple the Star Trek and LOTR previews, it's going to be a nice winter with some movies that deal with deep plot and character developement, but wait would that be because the age span for those movies starts at 13 not stops!!??
Back on to the Potter Flick. Basically you get some key values expressed here that adults don't understand. One acceptance of others even if they don't have as much money or if they aren't 'pure bloods'. Two, run away from home if your gaurdians are jerks. and Three, shoot first ask questions later.
I was a bit dissapointed to see 'Eight Legged Freaks' AGAIN. And lets face it the book/movie started to get into death even more so, with a young girl dying. And of course the whole snake thing. So if anything this is going to do wonders for the nightmare department.
Personally I'd stick with a matinee showing of this movie if you plan on taking children. And definantelly wouldn't hurt to talk with your kids afterwards to reassure that this is just a movie. And definantelly be prepared for a bathroom break, this thing is more than 2 hours long.
Let's just take it a step further, take everyone that doesn't look "american" tatoo them and put them in a holding camp. We can go ahead and "purify" the whole country.
Hey pompus "security and safety conscious" jerks, unless you are a Native American, then someone up your family tree came over on a boat/plane too. It is true, some people from other countries do actually like to visit america, and they're not here to hurt us, though I'm sure there is a little poking fun at our "traditional ways".
I'll be spraying aerosol cans into the air for the next few years, and make sure to use old nasty coolants for my air conditioner. I mean really, who needs an ozone anyways, commercialize the enviroment!
While this may have good intentions behind it I keep remembering a quote that has stuch with me for some time.
'The road to hell is paved in good intentions.'
The problem with these programs is that they open up a large possibility of abuse. I do think that if the government wants to enact these decisions there should be a way to invoke a "Right to privacy" act. And making it only possible to supercede such an act would have to be okayed by a judge. That way if you don't want your porn memberships to be public knowledge they don't have to be.
I say let the government do what they want, god knows they will anyways, but create a new "Citizens of Patriotism Act" protecting the right to privacy and safety.
You mean China? I didn't know we were on the virge of war with China. Ohhh, you mean Iraq. The very same country that took a week to devastate in Desert Storm?
Actually, I meant northern korea and china.
You mean the Civil War was last year?
Nope, I meant Sept. 11th attacks. Where we lost more american lives in one day than we have on any other day in all of history. If I meant a moment of time which compared death rates to percentages of population I would have picked the era of the american indian war, in which both native americans as well as immigrants were part of the american population.
Mmmm. That's why everyone on Slashdot is buying Pentium IV 3GHz PCs, SUVs, and 50" digital televisions.
And I'm a troll? I know I sure as hell can't afford an SUV. I'm quite sure there are numerous members of of Slashdot that don't have the funds to buy such things at the drop of a hat.
Right, that's why the dockworkers in California have guaranteed job security lined up. Not to mention all those people recruiters in California who are desperately trying to find (here's the big one, folks) QUALIFIED tech workers. Sorry, if you were part of the dot-com boom, your services are no longer required. Unfortunately, that does, in a round-about way, mean I lost my job, too. But I can get a new one easily enough... I'm just choosy.
The unemployment rate has been going up as the state of the economy has been going down. How many people do you think worked for Martha Stewart or Enron? As well as airline workers and industrial assemblers throughout the midwest losing their jobs.
Same thing as any other year. More money to build the war machine, less money for science and education.
So I suppose the amount of roads developed, the amount of money to private contracts etc are far less troublesome than buying defense contracts?
Two years and what new breakthroughs in space discovery have come? I think the "wow" factor of the space station is over after two years, let's start trying to answer the question "Why"? I believe a space station is a great thing, but what makes it more than an overglorified oxygen bubble where people can spend a few months in space? And lastly why does NASA still believe it controls the space station??
Well I find this very hard to believe, we're not on the brink of war with countries that hold long range chemical and nuclear weapons. We didn't within the last year and a half suffer the greatest loss on american soil ever. The economy isn't in a downward spiral. American aren't losing jobs at an enormously large rate. American education and social aid programs and grants aren't being cut because the money just isn't there anymore.
If these things were happening I'd think there would at least be an excuse for politicans to not care about technology.
Not networks that serve. Man everyone who posts is really a moron. Not every network on the internet is meant to serve. When I said serious networks I was talking companies that provide net access to every desk type networks. OBSD is the perfect solution for these situations as it can serve as the firewall/router/webserver/email server. It's all stable and secure and works perfectly for your average small to mid-size business. I'd recommend a midrange PC with Open BSD anyday before I recommended a cisco solution.
I think the one thing that everyone absolutely always neglects to realize is that Open BSD is the absolute perfect firewall/router solution for any network. All serious networks I've ever seen or worked with use Open BSD as their router/firewall solution and for good reason, it's perfect. It's stable, secure, and BSD Free, what more could you possibly want. Open BSD is made for security and it does its job wonderfully.
PHP has begun to prove itself as a very mission-critical, cross-platform, well versed, and stable scripting language. For what Yahoo does and for the optimizations that have come in newer versions of php this makes a whole lot of sense. If yahoo plans on using a mod_php with apache 2.0 then I can see them even getting more performance gains. There's no way to tell as I've never actually seen the system they use currently.
Obviously open source DOES apply to the corperate world.

There is none, there is meerly a letter. Posession is 9/10's of the law here. You can't just go around threatening people.
It's called SMS!! Works for even the non-deaf crowd and doesn't piss as many people off.

Where's my services rendered, where's my product delivered, and where's the sales agreement which was signed that justifies you billing me?
They've got a term for this in America, we here like to call it extortion.

get some culture...
Obviously a pro, anyone who bats higher than 100 hacks is destined for the pros. Is there sponsorship for this wonderful sport of hacking?
