They're mentality is 'make an example of the smart or clever kids.' Punish (read: Cull) the smart ones out of the heard and you can graduate the ones that are easier to control. The ones in charge, even if they don't realize it, don't want the clever/smart/innovative children to be doing anything they want. So get rid of the bad seeds so you can have the regular children undisturbed. One must tow the line and there is no room for anyone who is innovative, creative, and intelligent beyond that of the norm.
blimp: a term coined in 1915 as a friendly synonym for a pressure airship. The word is said to have mimicked the sound made when a man snapped his thumb on the airship's gas-filled envelope. It is not derived from the description of an apocryphal type of World War I British airship, the "Balloon, Type B, limp." There was never a "Type B" nor a designation "limp" applied to a British airship before, during or after WW I. The term most likely originated with Lieutenant (later Air Commodore) A. D. Cunningham of the Royal Naval Air Service, commanding officer of the British airship station at Capel in December 1915. During a weekly inspection, Lt. Cunningham visited an aircraft hangar to examine a "Submarine Scout" pressure airship, His Majesty's Airship SS-12. Cunningham broke the solemnity of the occasion by playfully flipping his thumb at the gasbag and was rewarded with an odd noise that echoed off the taut fabric. Cunningham imitated this sound by uttering: "Blimp!" A young midshipman, who later became known as Air Marshal Sir Victor Goddard, repeated the tale of this humorous inspection to his fellow officers in the mess hall before lunch the same day. It is believed that by this route the word came into common usage.
I had a very close frind diagnosed with it. Unfortunatly she decided to dissapear and the next time I saw her was in a casket after she dived off the third floor of a down town parkade and killed herself. I miss my friend dearly.
Have you notice that all the wonderful freedoms that people rioted and fought and argued for during the 60's are now eradicated by the same people who fought and rioted for them? Each day it make me more hopeful that one day these hypocritical will just up and go away.
I believe this person is thinking from the corperate america mindset. "they" as a group, just don't GET this free open source "Thing" as it goes compleatly against their way of thinking. It's like trying to explaing three deminsional things to a flatlander.
Hmmm... in accordance to my files... I SENT THIS SAME GODDAMN PROPOSAL TO THE CANADIAN ARMED FORCES R & D ABOUT 18 YEARS AGO!!!! AND ALL THEY SAID WAS "Nice idea, send more info"... DO I LOOK LIKE FUCKING BEL LABS??? They sure didn't want to provide any funding. Maybe my mistake was trying to go through the Canadian forces... I should have sold the idea outside of my own country and they aparently don't give a shit about anything they're own citizens have to offer. *sigh* (I still have the original submission on file)
I spke with a representative from ACC through the e-mail... here is what he said to my question about availability to purchase and cost. etc... "snip"Yes it is.
But its only sold with our El Dorado Storage Centers, as we've adapted it as a Front Side Cache for Mechanical Hard Drives as a first application.
It turns up to 2 Terabytes of RAID (normally 8Msec Access Times) into a drive store that runs at.5 Msec Average Access time.
John *snip" I herd about this from a friend of mine about 6 months ago and emediatly posted it to slashdot... guess I got ignored. (I'm used to that as I come from a family of three older sisters)
actually they found something rather interesting... the experiment was repeated several times and out of thoes tries, several of the did actualy work. the difference was that the ones that DID work lacked one important thing. Microfractures in the main paladium rod. and in fact it was found that there were several other replacement rods that could be used instead of an excruciatingly expensive paladium rod. a nickle alloy rod could also work..... How do I know.... I will not say. Thanks anyways.
Ok, we see where the weeknesses are in Linux, and we know what to do about it to make them go away. DONT SIT THERE COMPLAINING ABOUT LOOSING! FIX IT GODDAMNIT! Nobody likes a whiner least of all the corperations or the general public. It doesn't matter if the tests were rigged in favor of M$ or not. we know where our weeknesses are and we can fix them. if the results are wrong or padded or something then fixing the weaknesses with just make linux that much better than NT or any other OS. denial or even functional denial does not serve a perpose. If you want a system to work then make it work and fix the bugs too! don't point fingers and say. "He's lied!" or "The test was rigged!" or even "They were paid off!" take a look at your failures and fix them!
The math incorperated would probably be a flavor of "Quantum Fractal Chaotics". We all know that some times if part of the brain is destroyed that the rest of the brain can take up the slack and even some times regain memories that were thought originaly lost with the dead/missing part. I suspect that if a person can come up with a way of decoding the (natural) encription of human thought we would all be with in really big trouble or looking at a mind blowing (no pun intended) future.
When will a person who has something oposing to say about something learn to reveal themselves? This is nothing but sniping from the side lines. Either that or your another person who's best interest is to cast extream doubt on anything or everything associated with the article commented on.... I suspect that you either don't understand the current situation or you understand it so well that you wish it to be burried much like most of the corperations who know they would loose all cash supplies if such a product was produced. it's nice to know that no matter what. Freedom of speach even extends to them that would try to destroy it.
I'd like to know how you got it set up on your box. all I did was set it up so that it boots every time I log into a user... can get a bit nasty some time. I'd like to actualy get it running automaticly the moment I boot into linux and have it run in the background without all the screen output and only one instance of it. I can't figure out all the piping stuff properly... I just wish I knew more about the commands of Linux... (still learning)
Well I don't know exactly how much of a coding brain you have to be to get it up and running in win32 but I ran every executable I could and if there is any semblance of a browser in there I wasn't able to find it. maybe my expectations are a little high or I'm under the incorrect understanding that there is actualy a workable version of Mozilla browser out. I (personaly) was not impressed with what was available so far.

and to think they got rude with me when I asked them about TV Support in Linux.
