Dude, I thought I was the only person in the world to put super in front of their name. I don't know what to say, it's like meeting your long lost older brother for the first time. wicked weird. I say older because you have a smaller UID, of course mine is bigger...
Didn't yahoo just recently buy inkotomi? I mean geeze it's insane that a college project would even have the ability to pop 1.83 billion at another company.
Anyways I remember with Yahoo was "partnered" with altavista and it became big enough to be it's own search, hell I remember there being a "search more..." that would link to hotbot and other search engines of the day. Then there was the "partnership" with google, who became big and started to innovate after yahoo promoted them.
I think Yahoo needs to decide if it wants to be a portal or a search engine, because it's trying to be a one-stop-shop. You got games, music, movies, stock, travel, auctions, email, directions, and the kitchen sink. Is ad revenue really that big for these companies?
I stopped using yahoo when I realized that google found what I needed quicker with more precise search words. In essence I switched from yahoo to google because google was better.
Innovate don't just buy out the small fish, that practice is really old and sort of annoying.
Hey what can I say, I forget these things sometimes...
It might als be benificial to mention to Representative Putnam that it possible to protect individual rights as well as corperate rights, seems that capitol hill forgets that sometimes.
I tell ya what, if we all make our voices heard by hitting that contact button the intern that reads those messages is going to start to get the hint and might actually let putnam know, I mean it takes 30 seconds...
I mean lets face it, AOL was late to the bandwagon with this one. Especially with free sites like blogger, LiveJournal, and hell even Slashdot (link not provided).
Plus anyone with a webhost that supports perl or php can setup their own personal blog or even a community of blogs.
If you think that AOL will win because of "Exciting Software" to ease updates then you might want to take a look at this page. With livejournal being opensource I can't help but think that AOL won't take the time to re-invent the wheel, they'll just use what's already widley available.
Anyone know if the LJ crew has been approached for a "buy-out", I mean remember when AOL was going into the net radio business and bought WinAmp and some streaming service?
Why is it that we're only hearing about this in ninche geek websites. Shouldn't "The average man's race for space" be newsworthy? I mean the race for the moon had nearly everyone with a television at the time glue to the newscast to see just how close everyone was getting NIGHTLY.
Armadillo and Scaled Composites have quite the financial backing and I think everyone believes that it's just a matter of time before either they succeed or take part in the most expensive darwin award to date. I'm kinda tired of the top news story being W's and Blairs lies and the "war in Iraq" that's supposed to be over yet we're still reportting casulties on both sides.
Everyone dreams of going to space, everyone has looked up in the night sky and thought I wonder what it's really like up there, and everyone at one time growing up pretended they were an astronaut/cosmonaut. I really wish the Ministry of News would declare this newsworthy beyound the nince websites and occassional backpage news blurb.
So who do I call, I'm curious, is there a director of the Ministry of News that declares everything in america newsworthy? Isn't it time that we started focusing on individual efforts for success rather than constantly dwelling on what's gone wrong for the last year? Did the war in Iraq stop these guys? Did september 11th (well legislation limiting their supplies sure didn't help)? Are they terrorists in disguise? NO NO NO NO NO, I want everyone to see that there's hope for the future and not everything is so dark and abismal.
Back before technology, spies would hide in places of conversation and follow targets and either remember what was said or write it down.
The main enemy factor came when it was believed that a recording couldn't be faked and was garunteed to be genuine, it wasn't until it was proven that simple technology could fool even the best recording devices that this belief was debunked.
The most incriminating factor will always be someone believably speaking out against you. Has been and always will be. Especially with Juries, people can tell usually when someone is lying and when they think that someone isn't lying about an acusation against you, then you're toast.
It's been said before a long time ago, if you don't want anyone to ever find out about something never say it or write it down.
the decision to go to war is not made by the Military, it's made by a civilian
You're full of shit..
The vote is made by representatives of the people, who rely on the military to advise them on situations. Hence Bush and other military leaders telling us "weapons of mass destruction" etc. to have congress agree to go to war. As far as killing people goes, rules of engagement are pretty clear.
If the aircraft carrier wasn't designed for war and destruction then what was it made for. If the thing is never used it will be a "waste" of money, so of course it promotes war.
As far as your points go...
1.) And yours isn't?
2.) Since when is it required that you love america? Since when is america "peace loving" all I hear on the news is how we're killing people in Iraq. Anymore it's just body counts, they stopped even bothering with the pesky names.
3.) answered above.
I think this is very relevant, just you want to automatically disagree with anyone who thinks there's an alternative to blowing someone away.
I'm surprised an entire panel was even required to state the obvious here. Hmmm want to make money because you think someone has wronged you?? What other options are there?
If SCO wasn't in it for the money then they'd be gripin to Linus to have their name added to the Linux (R) contributors list, or a request to have the elusive code removed from the linux kernel.
Still don't understand why a whole panel was required.
The whole point of peer-to-peer is to share files with others. Just like the whole point of a car is to drive it. Let's "roll" with this analogy for a bit:
There are millions of driving related accidents and homicides that take place every year across the world. Bank robbers, car theives, and demolition derbies cause the cars to be used for reasons other than they were originally intended.
My question: Where are the lawsuits against GM and other car manufacturers for providing tools of crime? Why aren't we going after the root of all evil, the car manufacturers? Why is it that we still see cars all over the planet?
Important Tech City, CA, July 7th 2003 For Immediate Release Sbj: Apache beats other webservers
Recently we had our staff (some guys kid) look over the source code of 3 major webserver packages available, in that code nearly 8 million lines of error were found, but surprisingly the damned things still worked?!
We placed a performance test (click a link and see if porn comes faster) with apached and 3 other commercial offerings. Apache seemed to knock them all of the water, boy will those other three companies be mad now.
While we cannot tell you what the other three offerings were (that might make this whole thing more believeable) we can tell you that we think they're popular.
Here's the results
Apache ------------------- 104 Com 1 --------32 Com 2 -----------45 Com 3 ---------------53
As you can see by the clear test results, apache wins in all tests.
Since when are unfounded results from a company that doesn't explain what the "32 defects" were, newsworthy. Don't act like these guys are worth my time, this is bullshit.
Magic pixie dust would solve a good portion of the problem as well. And it's probably more likely than peace in the middle east.
You want to get them all stoned out on cocaine? Dude, that's gunna cost a whole lot more than a softwall, not to mention I don't know if it's really the answer. Maybe we just offer a lot of dope, don't see a whole lot of angry pot heads.
"The FBI is taking this very seriously," FBI spokesman Bill Murray said. "Hacking is a crime and those who participate in this activity will be investigated and brought to justice."
Hell yeah!! Remember how vindictive he was trying to get that damned gopher in Caddy Shack?
I got an A writing about this in my political science foreign policy class. Basically delt with social uprising against government blanket censorship (so it was mainly talking about Russia and China). And of course the economic impact of the fall of communism and the introduction of western capitalism.
Anyways, this project has made me think that there's still hope for everyone to be able to have freedom one way or another.
I think the only thing about peek-a-booty was that people were afraid it would open a pedophilia flood gate. This really pissed me off as obviously the juornalists behind these stories hadn't actually taken the time to investigate the actual software. Instead they just brushed over it and made assumptions, hence the bad press.
Anyways, great program, I mean it. I think the fact that it's created by one of the worlds largest trojan creators (cDc) is what gives it such a bad wrap.
What makes someone "wealthy", is it net dollar value, ability to influence (power) or a mix of both? Are we to say that we are wanting to endorse a non-free capitalistic system that breeds greed and descent? What goals are there to have human kind in space?
Let's tackle the questions... Wealth is decided on monetary value, but with monetary value comes power, so obviously it's a mixture of both, BUT you rarely see new money. Most "rich" people came from rich families and were given greater opportunities than those who weren't rich. So in essence we aren't supporting a capitalistic soceity per se, but a fuedal society. The problem with a fuedal society is that eventually the lessers will outnumber the eleet by so much it's simply a matter of time before a revolt or revolution. This brings with it pain and suffering and is always a step backwards.
Humankind in space poses a strange delimna. Is there a draw to join some type of universal collective of alien life? The most complex societies on this planet are not humans but are insect and plant collectives. Together the collectives strive to benifit the whole (which is why it's so hard to exterminate them) and that whole grows stronger through group motivated individual efforts.
So did Gene Rodenberry have it wrong when he created Star Trek? Absolutely not, until we as a society can think primarily about the group as a whole instead of personal gain we are destined to never rise above our own personal limitations. A new form of thinking and governing would have to be in place. Carl Marx had a theoretical governmnent system that would accomplish this, but disreguarded two key factors, the main drive for a human is personal gain and inherintly most people are lazy and will only strive to do what is the bare minimum, hence no bettering of the collective as a whole.
So should companies and rich people be the only ones who are allowed into space? If we want to not progress the human race, then yes. Sociologists and Historians note that it will take millions of years for humankind to evolve beyond their current limits and it's questionable if we will even surpass extinction. Just makes you wonder about the big picture I guess.
Okay this requires you to have your own domain name (at least it makes it easier).
When you sign up for a service or whatever takes your email, use the webaddress of the site as the mailbox (EX. for/. www.slashdot.org@dugnet.com).
Makes it real easy to find out who's selling your "information".
I know I have real media to thank for a large portion of my spam (collect from not-me@dugnet.com addresses to filter automatically into the spam filter).
Needless to say, makes spam filtering a little easier and makes sorting a breeze.
Okay this guy must be new to the opensource world. This mindset doesn't make sense what-so-ever.
Sarcasm...
And then you said:
I say Kudos to you and way to take the focus to a project that will more than benifit. You've shown that it's not a matter of pride, but more of common sense.
Not sarcasm...
Which is it? Does it appeal to common sense or does it make no sense whatsoever?
It's the truth... hidden in the context... weird stuff I tell ya
Lies, FUD, alligations, and things left unsaid ...

Bill Gates On Linux
·
· Score: 1
...And yeah, we, on educational bids, we will meet competition. That's considered healthy pro-competitive behavior...
Bullshit I can smell it a mile away. The reason you can say that you can beat linux in this market is because linux isn't a corperation that can make an educational bid (at least not in the public school system). And since MS has the ability to bid both software only and software + support costs they can undercut because their client list is so much longer. Any 5-Guy Linux shop will contract at a yearly rate for what would be close to a salary. So yeah, MS can underbid in a public setting, but that's just because the bid process is messed up, not because linux sucks.
You can tell Bills scared, everytime some type of sensationalism is mentioned he plays it off like nothing happened. The fact that he's acknowledging it makes me think of a quote...
"First, they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win." - Ghandi
Looks like it's only a matter of time. Did anyone else notice there was not a definante "no" from the old MS inceptor himself that MS will make products for the linux platform. They know of crossover, and other apps like it, they know it's possible. But they want to keep as much money tied in as they can, wait though, the only thing for sure in life, is change.
But the Sirens still looked like naked plastic women until the effects department incorporated particle systems.
Prepare Linux Users, our plastic women will be realistic longer than we think!! To think, we've had these particle systems the whole time and never thought about giving them to our plastic women.
What company (on a budget) would pay $3000 for a personal computer?
Are you insane? Have you ever had to make an en massed purchase order before? 10 comps at this cost would be $30,000. When you can get a decent athlon system for $600 it's one fifth of the price.
No company in their right mind would think of this as a budget computer.
Benchmarks and Real World Testing? For the birds, watch an AVI of a mouse cursor MOVING COUNTER CLOCKWISE!!! Load time and specs are anooying, lets get down to what really matters, installing solitare and using the finder!
Geeze come on, scree caps for an OS that really didn't change it's look?
Perhaps you disagree with his decision because you're new to real world, or that way of thinking.
Okay... perhaps you're new to reading... so here it is again...
I say Kudos to you and way to take the focus to a project that will more than benifit. You've shown that it's not a matter of pride, but more of common sense.
I was saying I agree and maybe others might want to follow suit. I commend him not condemn him for what he did. What so I say the word "troll" and automatically that's supposed to be a disclaimer for an excuse to be a jerkoff in a comment? Nope.

You can get a mobo standard with 3 pci slots and 1 agp slot, how many more do you need exactly?
