I am all for stores reducing theft too. Sadly, I don't think any consumers would see prices drop a significant amount. I'm sure most stores would lower thier prices enough to beat the competition, but would keep any additional profits. Gotta please the stock holder's you know. Not to mention that most books at Borders have a cover price from the publisher on them, so why would the prices change?
I wouldn't mind a bit about the camera's either. I haven't done anything wrong. But if the camera/database SAYS I did, well then I am fscked.
Video taping by ATM's and banks is a bit different. They don't have a database that tries to match faces. It is the recognition that worries me since it can be wrong.
Damn, I want to read that man page for kidney failure. RedHat and Mandrake don't seem to have it. Do you think Debian or maybe a *BSD would have that man page?
I'd like to nail the moron at 64.32.58.190 (dsl-64-32-58-190.dsl.theworks.com) who has been hitting port 2222 every minute since 10:00 AM this morning. Talk about a waste of bandwidth.
I really like the idea, but the last thing California needs is more dealings with power companies. They can't even keep the power on without charging us insane amounts. They are no better than the telcos.
I believe what got the movement to ban comics going were a few reports. Whether true or not I don't know. Typical stupid stuff, like kids jumping and falling off hills cause they could "fly like Superman" or something.
Kinda reminds me of the controversy with Jackass cause some moron lit himself on fire.

You can take the corks (or games) and throw them out the window, but you can't do that with Internet Explorer.
You'd think after going through college a body would be able to spell the name of a state. Then again, you can't get a spell checker if you can't spell "spel chekker."
I like the idea, but how much are them cute lil' 3-Inch CD's gonna cost? If it is the same as standard CD's I'd have no problem, but if the smaller discs costs more I would view it as a ripoff.

I would suggest finding a utility like RedHat's SwitchDesk for Debian.
hehe. Remind me of the Mac LC's we had in high school. By pressing command + control + power you would reboot, but if you kept pressing the command and power while it booted it would play a little test sound. The teacher thought I was breaking them. It didn't help when one of them showed a sad mac face. Luckily a reboot fixed all.
I know for a fact the Apple//e had such a feature. Ahh, to be 7 years old, fat, and playing video games on an Apple//e; rebooting with Control + Open Apple + Reset.
*sigh*
Now I'm 21, thin, and surfing the net on a homebuilt machine running Linux; rebooting with Control + Alt + Delete.
Only if your service agreement allows you to run servers should you be griping about this. PacBell states this and makes it pretty clear. I had no intention of running and web server for outside use anyhow. If you're looking for somebody to bitch about Microsotf fits the position.
Anybody interested in starting a pool on when the next major MS virus will come?

I like all your ideas, but apple is in a unique postition to do this. It isn't so much the proprietary hardware, but the low number of base models and setups that you can choose from. I imagine Compaq, Dell, etc. all buy their cables in bulk and not different sizes. Since PCs are mostly office machines there is no reason for easy access to the Mobo in their eyes. I would like to see a snazzier case though.

The feature I liked most about using Opera (when I used windows a few years back) was the ability to have multiple pages opened inside of the main application window. Getting 4 browsers open in one window made searching very, very fast. Tux Bless those Norwegians.

In the end I am thinking less that 500K of advertising is bundled with the thing. If I remember right Java is bigger than Mozilla itself, something like ~15MB (this is off the top of my head). We'll say 500K for the dictionary and 500K for the plugins. Doesn't leave much space for anything else.
First of all, how the hell is mod_gzip being mentioned in a bandwidth saving setting offtopic? Second, it depends on what kind of files you are serving. Text files will get better compression than tarballs. Thirdly I would like to know more about "some bugs with certain browsers base on my own tests" that you report. I would also like to know what idiot modded the previous post up.

Hasn't been anything that I haven't been able to do on Linux with a PII 300. Sure, mame is a bit slow, but that is all I notice.

Far be it for me to sound cynical, but I wonder how much of that $100 million "in cash and software" is software licenses?

You can say whatever you want, but in the end I'm proud to call this man President.
I'm happy with the decision Bush made in this situation (didn't fuck either side totally over), but I will NEVER be ok with him as president.
