FWIW, the Trident I have/had (975 3D Image AGP) sucked big-time. 4MB RAM and lines at 1024?!?!? WTF? But it came with my no-name machine and I'm about to pawn it off on my brother (poor bastard.) Needless to say, this release is underwhelming.
If you don't have any of the info, how are you going to know what to look up? I can see it now... It's er, uh, Dorothy Something. On a Broken Branch or was it Falling Limb Road. In, uh, whatsthefuckingtown... You could also try anywho.com, although the pop-up ads will drive you right back to the bar. (They will not, however, buy you drinks.)
One suspicion is jet fuel falling from planes landing at Philly International, but I dont think that explanation holds much as why havent these blobs been there for however many years the airport has been there?
Because Philly International changed their flight patterns about 2 years ago. Now the line is almost a direct line from Lindenwold to the Airport, along roughly the same track as the PATCO high speed line.
Sit in the Lindenwold parking lot at watch them line up for final approach. The view is even better at Ferry Avenue.
You're right. That's a much better description and explanation of the circumstances. The NYT article made it sound like you couldn't get your facts straight. The USA Today article sounds like a cautious, noteworthy scientific observation. Obviously a big difference.
Thanks. The article made it sound like you had only made an initial run and were waiting for a second opinion. Or, it could have said what you wrote, which would have been clearer. There's a big difference between, "Would you look at this?" and "Holy cow, take a look at THIS!" Good luck.
In a weird reflection of the boundless complexity of modern physics, top theorists from around the world were still sending conflicting calculations to the Brookhaven team in the hours before the new findings were disclosed yesterday afternoon at the laboratory.
So why did they release it? I mean, the work isn't finished, so what gives?
Isn't this the third biggest lie, "We're from the government and we're here to help."?
Realize, these are the same asses who pushed through DMCA and are considering the Berman Bill.
Sure, trust them to keep things straight and fair.
But it's your responsibility to critically analyze

we assume newspapers (and other new-outlets) always tell the truth
Not if you read the NY Times, you don't. Actually, ever since my class in Critical Thinking, I've pretty much assumed whoever wrote the piece has some ax to grind. It's a fairly safe assumption.
I know PL/SQL doesn't have the highest regard, but Steven Feurstein's Oracle PL/SQL Programming was one of the best introductions/reference books I've ever read. Got you on your feet quick and took you right to guru-ville.
But this doesn't seem like a big deal. They just have to find a way to keep it 'in the community'. Now if someone in the community wants to turn around help such enlightened states as, let's see, Iraq, Iran and North Korea for instance, well then, that might be a problem. Most people, though, don't give a whiff. And if someone creepy starts asking, we always have the TIPS program! Woohoo!
In movies, anything (microwave, blender, vacuum, whatever) can be controlled by evil computer programs.
One of the worst examples of this was Maximum Overdrive by Stephen King.
When the sode machine started spitting out cans of soda, I had to turn it off. Just too painful to watch.
Good soundtrack, though.
Um, it was passed by Congress. That's the House of Representatives and the Senate. The President then signed it into Law.
You really should learn about how the U.S. Government works before making assertions that are false.
Hasn't been a decree in the U.S. since George III (although FDR came close a couple of times.)
I'm not saying the Patriot Act is a good thing. I think some of it is stupid, illegal and downright sleazy. It was NOT, however, passed by fiat.
I think the better question for the Enterprise is whether Open Source can fill the bill. If I'm forced to comply, can I implement Open Source in such a way that someone won't figure out a way around it and I won't incur liability. I don't think non-compliance is an option. It is, after all, the law.
I don't see why the US is concerned with people's rights only in certain places, and never China.
Where in the world is the U.S. concerned about people's rights??? I'm all for empowering citizens, democratic republics, etc., but where has other nation's citizen's rights EVER been a concern of the U.S., either stated or implied? Possibly during the reconstruction of Germany, but other than that...

Here you go.
Guess you missed it.
And of course, the follow-up.
You could try Anonymous Browsing.

The confusion at the moment is on their side.

and regulatory help from the FCC.

Can we not get responsible journalism anywhere?
Not likely. Fear sells and facts don't.

Because World Domination will come one stupid user at a time?
(Is this a riddle?)
Do you think it will be confused when it comes back and find its maker on 7th Heaven?

How come every comment that contains "I'm expecting to be modded down" ends up at +5, insightful?
It's seems that some sort of self-doubt as to the posts worthiness results in the moderators taking a conciliatory view.
Of course, I expect to be modded down for this...

I wonder what kind of monitor you'd get for that setup?
Funny how money changes minds.
Regardless, I said I was switching to Linux and never got a dime.
Guess I should have sent a letter...
Learning Perl and System Administration at the same time.
Nothing could possibly go wrong there...
