The solar eclipse should be visible along a line from 450 miles east of NY (in the atlantic) through India. If you live in Europe, there's a good chance you'll see atleast a partial eclipse if its not cloudy. Also, tonight for us Americans, there's a Lunar eclipse. It takes an hour or so for it to completely cycle, but it still looks pretty cool. When you view these things, try to visualize it in 3D, it makes it much cooler. A Lunar and Solar eclipse only occurrs when the Moon is full (or close to full) and its axis of revolution is even so that it falls along the same plane as the Sun. Just thought I'd drop some info out there.
Sounds simple... I could never figure it out though. Drove me up the wall

Independent movies will be seen more and more in movie theatres. The Haunting sucked so horribly that I'm ashamed I payed $8 to see it. If only they'd make some good, well written movies. Until then, it'll be the low-budget independent movies that will be the really good ones.
Linux is easy? I beg to differ, dude. As somebody who has worked with Windows for several years, and is fairly knowledgeable about it, I can't think of one single instance in which Windows failed to detect my mouse.
A while ago I tried Linux with three different mice, all from different manufacturers. XF86Setup couldn't get any of them to work correctly, while Windows handled them all fine. ---------------- Correct me if I'm wrong, MoMo, but last time I checked, Windows doesn't work with hardware it doesn't support either. Here's how it works: Hardware manufacturers release their specs to MS do they can make drivers for it. LOTS of hardware manufacturers refuse to release that info to everyone since they consider it intellectual property. While I'm a big supporter of IP, I'm not in this case because it prevents Linux from being able to support your crappy mice since there's no corporate base to share such hardware spec with. But don't you fret ignorant toad, RedHat is going public and will hopefully get more hardware support. email kevlar@mail-me.com if you'd like to send a response to me, because otherwise I'm not going to waste anymore time explaining.
I think the Linux community is a little too "alternative". Just because RH is public and may possibly dominate the linux development scene in the future does not mean they control it. Just remember that Linux does not survive on commerciallism, and someone making a profit off of it does not mean they possess the ability to monopolize it.
Do you actually believe that happenned? Are you really that gullible? That is such a blatent lie! He sounds worse than a 12 year old... hell a 12 year old could make it sound more realistic. Cops didn't patrol the neighborhoods outside pittsburgh, he made it up to justify himself as a complete jerk who is trying to take as much control of the website security industry as possible. We all need to see this loser for what he is: an irresponsible jerk who tries his hardest to get attention by smearing people.
I haven't been able to reach AntiOnline all day... hell.. all night too for that matter... In fact, I did a traceroute, and couldn't even make it to his provider. Eventually JP (Gay Pee) will probably be shutdown because nobody wants to host a site that gets DoS'd everytime the site owner does something incredicly stupid and obnoxious. Thats my $0.02. echo You Suck | mail JP@antionline.com
Gay Pee is a pathetic college dropout who never did any work and has attached himself annoyingly to the cracking community. Nobody wants you around Gay Pee! You're feed for the pseudo-intellectual and the newby. Go suck ass over in Redmond or something you annoying little chihuahua
What would happen if a page was submitted by anyone BUT the owner... like their own web bots. That'd open them right up to a lawsuit. Hell I have a couple pages that I know I didn't submit... if they ever did anything nasty to them, they'd definately see a lawsuit because I didn't even click submit....
They just want to cover their butts so they can put up summaries of websites when you're doing a search. I highly doubt that they're going to steal someones invention, or steal someones great screenplay... there are laws against that, and just because someone were to click "Submit" does not mean its legally binding. I don't think there is a single judge who wouldn't feel the same way.
This debate is not over by a long shot. Hubble's resolution ability is too inferior to accurately gauge h0. Since they have been surveying many distant galaxies using many different techniques to determine their distances, one slight mistake in assumptions could throw their calculations off. In next months American Astronomical Journal there will be research results printed from SN1998b which gauged H0 to be 64 m/sec/Mpc. Although this still gives the age of the universe as being around 12 billion years old, it should lay to rest this argument. The technique of using Cepheid variables and a Supernova type Ia in the cosmological distance ladder is agreed by everyone in the astro community as being the most reliable method of determining the Universe's age. I'm putting a paper online within the next couple of days if anyone is interested in reading it. Email kevlar@mail-me.com for more information.
The ability to have idiotic lawsuits is what makes the system here. Its a lame lawsuit. It will undoubtably fail, but they still have the right to sue, just like the rest of us, regardless of how lame.
Banning IP would only succeed in slowing innovation to the point where nobody would trade their ideas. Allowing them to be protected is the only way to assure commercialism in the age of technology. OSS is good. Sharing ideas is good. Working together is good. Telling someone that their idea is now property of the commonwealth of the world is ridiculous, socialist, and negligent when seen through the eyes of history. Give people ownership of their inventions, allow them to innovate and you have the key to success.
Just to let you know... MAC OS 10 will have NextSTEP functionality integrated into it, including remote access stuff. Maybe this will rival NT.... Linux even.
Gee @%@$%#%ing wizz.... I guess I won't be able to use the existing mp3 format or dump the watermarked raw version of the sound file to my harddrive.... guess they really got me!!! I call this an extremely lame and ignorant way of trying to control people which is doomed to fail miserably. I laugh in the music industry's face.

How about freaking DVD?????!!!
Its great that they're doing sound, but DVD is NEEDED BIGTIME1!
Hell.... I'll patent E=mc^2 and then nobody can exist without my consent...
