You joke, but if you have seen the work these guys do ( http://www.21csi.com/ ) you would be totally "on target".
We're talking battlescape monitoring and management all via a free 3D interface. You can dispatch orders to deploy tanks, jets, etc.. and also monitor each units' vitals remotely.
When I saw it in action and saw the jets and helis moving around, I expected to see a little "life" bar under them. They are already suppling the DOD with technology, so this is not some far-off idea.
The employees demoing it flat out told me that many of the soldiers and officers had been trained using video games, so this was a pretty natural progression and interface.
Personally, I was hoping it to work a little more like Total Anihilation and have the ability to build units using nanobots. I was told though that is in the works for the next version.:)
" Listen, lad. I built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was swamp. Other kings said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp, but the fourth one... stayed up! And that's what you're gonna get, lad: the strongest castle in these islands."
Let's use this tragedy to move the people to some place that is safer, preferably ABOVE sea level. I can understand the "Let's rebuild it and make it stronger!" spirit, but the money it will take to rebuild and then make flood protection that we THINK is adequate ( you know, like they THOUGHT was good enough back in the late 1960's ) would be much better spent in relocation.
Okay, everyone who is posting about their "friend" who has committed a form of retail fraud, we all know what you're saying. No need to tack on the extra moral outrage to try and convince us.:)
Personally, I prefer looking at old Sat. pictures of the area I live in, you can see what it was like before it got over-developed and 100's of acres of farmland got turned into Wal-Mart, Rite-Aid, etc.. and every other fast food vendor and gas station started popping up..only to close down and leave thier ugly mark on the landscape.
I'm all for progress, but Wal-Mart is progress? Not in my opinion.
You must really have enjoyed Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat to respond to this post. Tell me, when MKII came out ( Mortal Tuesday, wasn't it? ) did you use the letter K where a C should have been in all your written work that day?
Back in the day when the fighter-genre was all the rage and video games were for nerds only, damnit!!
Peer-to-peer sharing content, shoucast, apache, etc.. thats a server in my mind, and I don't waste resources with desktop stuff on servers. Nor would I host anything I cared about on a typical home connection, I just happen to have 100Mbps fiber to the home, so I run my own services.
I think of "home users" as the 90-some percent of users who run windows and use the Internet to browse, email or maybe games. If you're running linux on your desktop and want to do that sort of stuff you're not a "home" user in my mind and i'll assume that your boxes have host-based firewalls setup, so yes, no need for NAT for you.
NAT and firewalls, not a good idea? Can you please elaborate on why NAT and firewalls are a bad idea for home users?
I'm sure everyone who sees all the crap traffic infected home windows systems create on networks would disagree. Connecting your desktop directly to the Internet is very 1998, it is a bad idea.
Dial-up or broadband should use NAT with a firewall setup, always. You're really asking for trouble otherwise.

Ahh, you too know the joy of SAS. I happened upon them becuase it is hard to find US size 15. They are nice shoes indeed, very comfortable.
At least have common sense to include a postal code..
Judge Dredd (it counts, I won't vouch for its' quality): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113492/
And as far as PKD, there have been more than Blade Runner. Total Recall and Minority Report come to mind.
Blade Runner did not touch on the human aspect of the book as much as I would have liked it to. Still a good movie, commentary or not.

Perhaps you have not seen Pegasus Mail. If you don't have a need for cal. features it works great.

And it works just fine with WINE
I have had no problems with LinkPoint

They provide code, however it really takes minimal effort to just make your own.

Here here!
If I had mod points you'd get them "Insightful" for that link.
"by relying on the revenues generated by the purchase of content available in the DAZ online store"
Is that code for "virtual-girl porn site" ?
I think ANY 3d-modeler app can be used for more productive tasks than rendering breasts that are two times too big.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the GIF patent boat has sunk. Save IBM's never-enforced LZW patent, GIFs are free.

I've still got a 5'x3' vinyl poster stating "Welcome To The World Of Windows 95" that retailers hung in stores to promote it.
A nice peice of geeky nostalgia. From before I was jaded and cynical when it came to Microsoft.
I've never been able to find one for sale on ebay or anything, anybody else got one?

Extended warranty, let me tell you a story.
1. Digital camera + ext. warranty is purchased for $375.00.
2. About 3 months from the expiry date (3 years later) of the warranty a battery tray and latch break.
3. The warranty provider just offers to "cash out" the warranty with a Staples gift card for full purchase price (3 years later).
4. Buy $20 part off ebay to restore digital camera to perfect condition, and use $375.00 towards a new camera that is infinitely better.
5. Thank you extended warranty.

Will you be here all week? :)
If so, you might enjoy this link.
And if it's portable OS you want, May I suggest you get it here?
