If the Federation fell, it shouldn't be because someone waltzed in an kicked their ass. It would be much more intersting if it fell due to internal decay and civil war.
If you have some external oppressor that defeats them, the series would a much too predictable "Us against Them" show. If it falls from internal confilct you have many more story possibilities. There would probably be many independant human governments that could be in confict with each otherm, various changing alliances, etc.
You don't want teachers to requre you to show your work because you would rather just spit an answer out, than demonstrate that you know the steps?
You don't take tests to show that you are a human calculator, you take tests to prove that know how to work the problems. If you're too lazy to actually write down the steps that you took in your head, well too bad for you. You could just be running the problems though some program that you got from someone.
No, don't say, "Well, then calculators shouldn't be allowed on tests." Most people aren't human calculators, such as yourself. They shouldn't be penalized because you just don't feel like showing your work.
It was on tv about 5 years ago. (I think it was on that old Discovery channel show Beyond 2000) It looked liked this one, but there wasn't a spacer in between the halves; they were directally attached to each other.
I doubt that you'll be able to copy DVDs easily with this. The MPAA requires everyone that licenses CSS to disallow access to the decoded movie. You won't be able to rip DVDs with Apple's software, but this really isn't Apple's fault. They'd be in deep legal shit if they did.
You have to register with MS every time you install office 2000. You also can't register more than 2 times over the internet. After that you have to call them up and explain why you have to reinstall it. (I just said that my computer got royally screwed and I had to reformat the disk, they don't question that)

The US is still waging this "war" on drugs because it would be political suicide for a politician to oppose it. Most Americans have come to accept the war on drugs as a fact of life and as an implicitly good thing. If a politician took a stand against it, said that it should be stopped because it is not working, (s)he could expect not to win the next election. As far as most voters are concerned anti-war-on-drugs == pro-drugs, and who would vote for a pro-drug canidate?
I'm sure the Air Force is destroyed them because they couldn't find anyone to sell them to. I heard of old silos being converted into mushroom farms, homes, and even a rural school.
As for Apple (or more specifically Motorola) lagging behind AMD and Intel in terms of speed. This will keep more current Mac users with the platform, but Apple is going to need Mot to kick out 1Ghz chips real soon.
Yes, but how would this justify ignoring many of the improvements made since the 486? The Pentium IV seems to be a severly crippled processor whichever way you look at it.
I want to ask you three questions:
1) How will shrinking the cache help in a media rich enviroment? I would think that you would expand it.
2) How do you design something with the future in mind? You can't know the future, so you can't design for it. Anyway Intel wanted to kick the crap out of AMD *now*, and the ended up shooting themselves in the foot.
3) Why should I buy a P4, bear with it's slowness, and wait for everyone to rewrite their software for it? In a few years I will have replaced my computer, and all my software will now be optimized for my *old* one.
I'm still about a year away from a new computer, but unless Intel shapes up I'll be going with AMD or maybe an Alpha if I find a reason to spend the extra money.
I think that the "online school" idea is one that won't work. Learning stuff is one major component, but the "online school" concept compleatly neglects the other main part, learning to socialize with other people. No, chat rooms and ICQ don't count as socializing. The lower the grade, the more of a need for socialization there is. They shouldn't even think of having this for any grade before 8th, period.
Also this idea of an online gym class totally misses the point. Gym (at least when I had it) was more of a structured play time, it wasn't some exercise that you could do on your own. I wish these people would realize that you can't do everything online.
If you can get this to work, It'll only work once (or twice if your lucky.) *If* this becomes widespread, then it'll be pretty hard to find unencumbered hds. Second, I got the impression that the key was going to be stored on a ROM chip in the drive, so you'll need that particular controller board to get at your stuff.
Finally, I'm sure HDs can and will ship with EULAs if the manufactures deam them neccissary. If this is a big success for them you might start getting HD with little squares of paper saying what you can and can't do with the drive. If this whole copy protection thing just causes pain for the HD makers, they'll want to wash their hands of the whole thing and the next generation of drives won't have this implemented.
I leave javascript off when I browse, most sites don't raise a fuss, and it kills all popups and window resizing.
What really pisses me off are those websites that use frames for the sole purpose of showing an add thats always there. Just using netscape's open-frame-in-window menu gets rid of those, but It's tiresome to have to do that constantly with some pages.
I have removed the preformatted sections out of NS4.7's bookmarks. I didn't try to remove them directally, I just copied my old bookmarks file over the new one.
Netscape 6 may be worse than IE, but what about Mozilla? I have been using M18 for the past week, and I haven't had it crash yet. Netscape 4.7 crashed every couple of days on my machine, and I can't say anything about IE because it doesn't run on FreeBSD. Also, Mozilla seems to be compleatly devoid of comercialization. It doesn't even have that crapload of links that I have to delete every time I install Netscape 4.7.
I would assume most of us are working to get money, and that is in no way contrary to the GPL and the Green Party. It is contrary to communism. I don't know about you, but I would like to be able to buy new computers, cars, and food. I don't want to live in a cardboard box writing GPL'd software with an empty stomach.

They have a story submission queue where users can vote on wether they want the story to be posted or dumped. It also has a higher s/n ratio than ./
Ah, your comment didn't seem to be phrased as a joke. Sorry, I still don't see the joke.
An asshole? I don't see how making a joke "proves" me an asshole.
You my friend, have no sense of humor.
Really, the echoing of Kuro5hin on Slashdot is getting rediculous. Slashdot is not Kuro5hin, some of us have already discussed this a week ago.
(To all you Slashdot readers: this is a joke, you probably won't get it, but some of you will)

What good would the cell-phone do is the network is fried?
Some kind of java error

I think it's really dumb that ./ decided to post the serial ATA story and NOTHING about this, even though many people have submitted the story.
Guns do direct harm, crypto doesn't.
A more apropriate analogy would be a law that adds extra penalties when a crime is committed my a felon wearing a mask.

Netscape 6 may suck, so use Mozilla instead.
