errr... How do right to free speech and right to life or avoid extermination fit in the same plate? Not saying that I believe that people shouldn't have free speech but with these types of things it is all subjective. Some people hold different ideals to different levels. People go out on limbs for different ideals deal with it.
Then why have all your eggs in one basket? I personally have 6 machines at home only one contains any sensative data which would be mildly annoying if it fell into hte wrong hands.. However I have around 15 computers spread around the internet (2 different countries 10 different locations) that are still mine by some over spending fluke of.com era. Now I access eac h of these maybe once a month and onlly with https... I use https to accesss a dozen minor sites a day from exchange web access to secure forums to a lot of other stuff. Its hard to find all of those boxs if I did need to use them myself let alone if someone needed to track them all down. not that I have any sensative data on them any way. + My sensative data is mostly porrly written love notes, drafts of legal documents and papers that I wrote in 6th grade. More embaresssing then anything else
Asmov was referring to Autonomous or sentiant computers... we are no where close to the second and as to the first.. when have you seen an autnomous unit with the ability to shoot anything?
Actually I do realize that (as someone who works in the AIDS field). The problem isn't having sex, which is something that needs to happen to have children, its having it be promiscuous. The culture in Africa and now back in the West again is "Sex is Good" no matter what. If you can get laid then you should. The problem is that they don't need that to have babies, they just need a partner. Africa needs a lesson on safe sex.
Do you realize that most likely all of these people didn't know what AIDS was when they contracted it or even now really willing to admit how? The culture there isn't quite the same as it is here and they haven't gone throught the "Safe Sex 80's" like we have in the United States. Of course its a preventalbe diesease but you have a culture to educate and that isn't free or easy either
1k sure seems like a lot to me to be able to learn one operating system... Other then it would be cool to have I don't have 1k sitting around to drop on yet one more computer...
Pine has done the colouration of emails based upon criteria for years now, and it is a most useful feature that I would like to see in other email clients. The other points here are a checklist for current open source email clients (Evolution, KMail, Mozilla Mail, etc) - many of the features are already integrated of course. It is just Outlook that is lacking, and it will remain lacking because Microsoft take ages to upgrade software, and then only add features they think the user needs, not what the user actually needs.
Outlook is missing it? True they weren't the first ones to the market but the have had it for 2 years atleast. Outlook I have to say is one of Microsoft's best products and as much as you flame microsoft, they do do some decent hings for your average desktop. In an office enviorment, in a non tech industry, outlook is by far the best choice. It is very easy to teach (interactive teaching CD's) and couppled with Exchange server keeps our agency moving along quite nicely. I'm sorry but linux is not as simple as microsoft and till it is, it won't be taking over the desktop..
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "DO", "DON'T", "REQUIRED", "SHALL",
"SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", "MAY BE"
and "OPTIONAL" in this document do not mean anything.
replace this document with this editor and add a few 1000 more words and that pretty much sums it up:) Sorry Taco not usually a troller but you bring out the best in me
Wow they have you all going. This is an April Fool's day joke if I ever saw it. I've been to Google's secret underground lair and as anyone who has survived their Mission Impossible style defenses can tell you.... its Squirrels, this is just a lame attempt to throw off their competitors.
hmmm what happened to the post as Anonymous Coward box? oh well, Google Doesn't know where I live, do they?......
You are pigeon-holeing yourself into what effect an event has on *... and then you change the event after the next big event happens and start all over again. PLEASE STOP! Really, people 40 years into the future with brilliant analytical minds, degrees in philosophy psychology and divinity will come together and give us an answer. I really think you are biting off more then you can chew with this kind of stuff. I appreciate your effort but I really think that this kind of stuff is way to complex to be scratched with a measly 1000 word essay. Please try to stick to something easier like affect of the Slashdot user base on incoming techies (read new readers) with its very interesting and eccentric viewpoints. Something that you would have a much better understanding of and would be more of an authority of! Hell some people might stop filtering your stories.
its easy. For anyone who has been totally wasted, you know that all sense of gravity seems to be scewed. That way the only thing working against you is keeping from passing out, and the mental capacity of maybe 1/10th your normal capacity. So other then the fact that when you hurl it won't be as easy to find (It doesn't just go down and hit the ground) You would have a great advantage over everyone else in your allstar baseball-in-space.... right? right?
but if 1024 bit crypto only takes a minute to crack then theoretically during the 3 year life of this 200million to billion dollar machine. $2e11 to 1e12 / 3 years / 365 days / 24 hrs/60 minutes
This means that all of your assets between 124,000 (if machine costs 200 million) and 634,000(for 1 billion) and above are all worthwhile "investments" of this machine's time.
I'm sure some of you have purchased PBXs for your works at one time or another so let me tell you my little story.
Around 18 months ago it was announced that we were merging with a larger non profit in a way to save on administrative costs amoung other things... IT was not really talked to for the majority of the merger talks but then when it was announced, we had to come in and clean the mess. 18 months later everything is fine (replaced ageing computers and cut 1/2 the IT staff) but the PBX system in the meantime was a hassle and a 1/2. Some idiot suggested that for the 10 months that we were in 3 "campuses" that we needed to switch to a single vendor integrated solution. Alright I'll admit it, the idiot was me. But it was a good idea, most people didn't relate to anyone else in the other agency and getting on an integrated phone/computer system would help bridge some of the problems. The problem was the vendors... Computersystems were easy, we would do all the implementation so all we had to do was buy hardware... so we spend 100,000 on some new dells that have been the most reliable machines I have ever seen, no upkeep in terms of hardware and have only had to reinstall one machine. Now to the PBX system... ugh... I probably spent 160 hours talking to different vendors with their great supre fix all solution that in the mean time would save us 20k a year.... Alright the pitch was good, but there is a catch right? right? of course.. the salesman low balled the equipment price in order to make the sale and therefor wasn't to stringent on how the install went. so after the install was complete, we spent around 35k in service calls getting the system to where it needs to be and what was actually bid. Lawsuits are in the works but its most likely not worth it....
Anyone out there know anything about movie-> DVD schedules? They mentioned in hte article that there were 3 movies yet to be released on dvd and that these were "wholly inferior products"... Its my guess that unless they were burning these dvd's onto cheese wedges(mmm edible DVDS) that thses were just high quality rips burned onto a dvdr... which would explain the inferior product. Again this article is lacking in details...

have the same setup as this type of auto-locking door except have some sort of scent detecting algorithm that won't let them in if they have been:
rolling around in a dead animal carcass
eating the trash
sprayed by a skunk
decided to swim in the neighborhood swamp
If any of these 4 conditions apply, apply auto-hose and shampoo... (mini dog-wash)
I'd make millions, really

does this mean the phrase "all thumbs" is now a compliment?
Send on Demand Entertainment ... its the only thing that could satiate this type of pipe and then only with a large subscribition base
