And the entire concept of the patent system will be destroyed. The whole point is so that you (the little guy) can hopefully invent something and get it to market before someone w/ more resources can steal your idea. If only the big corps w/ massive resources can afford patents, where's the incentive for the little guy to innovate?
I've found that using an RPF sequence works better than saving a comustion file.
Dunno about that...I built Dell's $6k machine for around $3k (and still had better parts, more memory, etc than Dell would give me. IBM had a similar machine to Dell for about $7k)
$3k wouldn't have even gotten me a top-of-the line Mac (or the dual monitors) with the specs/components that I got. And this PC (dual Athlon 2000+) runs circles around the dual 1.25GHz G4 we just got (on the same programs Photoshop and FormZ)
However, IMHO, the high-end IBook is the best deal for performance/cost in a laptop.
Remember, they had running water until the US and UK bombed them.
Actually, they had running water and electricty even through the bombing. The US and UK intentionally avoided such infrastructure. The problem was when the regime disappeared and people didn't go to work. For instance, there are serious problems in getting one of the major power plants in Baghdad running again (mechanically fine, was shut off when the beaurocracy collapsed) because it needs a jumpstart of 4kW or so, but the nearest power station hasn't been able to supply enough to it to kick over the turbines. (This was a week ago, I'm not sure if it has been resolved) Getting other services up and running again has been problematic because looters have stolen necessary computer equipment and files. The infrastructure was not destroyed by bombing. The lack of power and water is primarily due to social beurocratic collapse.
In five years, 100 million people will be using an information-visualization tool on a near-daily basis
How many people use graphs, pie charts, etc. daily? Look at the newspaper and see how many are in the financial section. How many people have the default stock ticker in their AIM window?
Yeah, I thought so......these aren't the droids you are looking for, move along...
It makes it easier to divide a circle by 3, 4, and 5 (and multiples of) and end up with whole-unit measurements.
If your unit of angular measurement is based on there being 100 in a complete circle....then its much harder to divide by 3 and get whole number results
One trait I always look for when purchasing phones...can I dial it while driving, and not have to look at the phone?
I could care a rats ass about trying to dial my phone while driving (unsafe no matter what the phone).....what I look for is whether I can answer it while driving.
I could have told them this. The bubble burst. Because of that, marketing budgets have plummeted. Hence, less companies are running less ads about stuff online. Therefore, people who aren't already online aren't seeing as many commercials for online services, and don't feel 'left out' of the fad. And most people who aren't already online, probably won't have their lives enriched all that much by going online (blasphemous words around here, I know).
I haven't used AOL since '97...but my parents still have my account open, and the stupid mail icon that appears on Trillian really pisses me off....
anyways, where i was going with this....the last time i went to the web-based email for my screenname to delete the spam...there was a button to "report spam"...just click it, it blocks the sender's address, deletes the mail, and forwards it to AOLs spam department. I assume they have a similar feature in the full client app. Considering how much spam my AOL account gets (more than my real accounts, and Cloudmark SpamNet has blocked over 85000 spam emails on my real acounts in the last year), the numbers AOL is claiming doesn't suprise me at all. If each of their customers each reported only 1 piece of spam, they would have even more complaints than they claim.
hmmm....at the university i attended...every machine had a dynamic address....the machines that were supposed to have static IPs just got assigned the same dynamic IP every time.

well, if I fired up my C64 (with Star NP10 dotmatrix printer) I could have Bank Street Writer running....

This could be huge in the UK where albums frequently cost as much in pounds as they do in dollars here in the US
Yeah, but so do meals, theater tickets, subway fares, etc.
Its called a higher cost of living and is very much related to the value of their currency.

Obviously, this guy doesn't give a flying fuck about anyone who wants to use Linux for older computers.
I believe he suggested tossing backwards compatibility out the window as it was bogging down the development of Linux as a desktop OS

Great example. And I'm sure that the author of PA is aware of the situation w/ Jon considering they've done crossovers and mention each other.
AIDs? .. ...
Black Plague?
Smallpox?
Polio?
Ebola?

Um...last time they were quite specific about the release dates (and contents) of each version as well.
I would be satisfied if Mozilla's new name was just "Not Internet Explorer".
So NIE....(in German, pronounced nee, and means nothing, literally. It is the German word for "nothing".)....sounds like a great name!
Depends on the rating of PVC...for instance, 1/2" 'schedule 40' PVC pipe must be able to withstand water pressurized to 600psi.

360 degrees in a circle is a good thing...

I'll stick w/ my Samsung I330 thank you. It has all of these features already.

yeah it is....costs 5 bucks down at the mall...and you don't even have to take off your clothes....gotta love the 80's gimmicky tech

Well, I don't mean to add another layer of confusion for you....but the article is a dupe. :)
Your particular audience is older than this, but for others who might be interested try PBS Kids. Hours and hours of entertainment for little tykes.

You can have SPDIF, DAT, you name it....but if the mic sucks....so will the audio
"It looks like you are trying to dial a phone number. Would you like some help?"
So? Does this mean the CE based devices will be performing the same tasks the PCs were?
Good point. Both Pepsi and Coke outsell PCs on a daily basis.
