We use all kinds of open source stuff on our scanning laptops. Our DAA (designated approving authority) signed off on it. Got my accreditation letter right here. We are good to go.
You don't need resources to approve it, just someone willing to accept the risk of it NOT being approved. Which, is not hard to do.
Didn't IBM buy that license from Novell, though? I don't think IBM bought a license from SCO, I thought they did that WELL before SCO acquired any rights to UNIX. Does anyone know?
That'd be a really big hole in the bottom of a really small boat.
Does it glow? When I make my villagers dance around a rock it starts glowing. Of course, my tiger just eats them... maybe it's a different kind of rock.
I have 3 kids, 13, 11, and 10. And I'm not worried about America losing its edge.
I'll probably get flamed for saying it, but, who says you have to learn latin at age 12 to be ahead of the game of life? Who cares if 4 year olds in Japan are building model fusion plants? What difference does that really make?
Freedom to find one's own way through life is all that really matters. Freedom to express ourselves, as janitors or CEOs.
I expect the US to remain an economic super power, and be joined by all the other free nations of the earth at the top.
My kids learn a little bit at school, a little bit at home, and a little bit on their own. They try things, move on to new things, move on to different things, and work out for themselves what they like and don't like to do.
Which really brings it down to this: The most productive (and inventive) people are the ones who are most happy about where they are in their lives. Any free nation will do.
I think one of the BEST THINGS about the Earth today is that it's NOT just the USA at the top of the heap anymore. We've helped other nations to the top (Germany, Japan) and we've been joined by nations that have helped themselves (India).
The more the merrier. So, I'm not worried one bit. Whether the USA keeps its edge or not is not even meaningful in the new world order. We're all in this together now.
If you spent money on your home theater, you own a nice DVD player. If you spent money, you like quality, you're not getting cheap ass knock-off divx movies with crap quality.
If you don't have a home theater, and like movies at all, you probably have a cheap DVD player and use it like a VC player. You don't care enough about movies to get the cheap ass knock-off divx movies with crap quality. You wait and rent them at blockbuster.
If you don't own ANY DVD player, and one didn't come in that computer you have, you don't care about movies at all, and will NEVER watch divx and might never watch DVDs either. And probably aren't planning on buying an Xbox anyway.
So, which 9 people in all the world do you suppose you're describing?
Most people are going to say: "Get the fuck away from me you good for nothing creepy kid pot-head!"
The general population doesn't even SPEAK to the creepy kids, much less give them money. What color is the crack in your pipe?
The general population shops at Best Buy. If they don't sell it at Best Buy, there is no general population market. Sad but true.
They sure the fuck aren't going to pay cheap for early and crappy and pay again for "real" DVDs. And you know they're going to pay again. They shop at Best Buy for chrissakes!!!

It's the job of the diplomat to avoid the fight. It's the job of the fighter to be prepared to unleash hell if the need ever arises. The sharper your swords, the more effective your diplomat can be. Our military prowess is a big reason we haven't had a global scale conflict in 60 some years.
You need to switch focus. Do you really think they care what the DJ on 94.3FM in Colorado Springs says? Think military. They are a part of the Department of Defense, after all.
Um... I don't think that changing the size of the box you're thinking in counts as "thinking outside of the box." It's like saying, "this keyboard is innovative because we added a key to it."

No, that's just Boulder. We built a 25 foot electrified fence around that place though. I only go there for the pizza. (The Sink)

Well, for all that's worth...
That was fantastic. Thanks. Tears. Rolling. The whole bit.
There's just no pleasing some people. Like me.
Easy. Emailed each judge an outlook worm and crossed off names of judges who got it! :)

37 is not "plenty" and 14 is not "many".
Non-techies don't buy Xboxen. They buy PS2, and they buy them at Best Buy.

Hey, no hard feelings. Anyone willing to help keep THEM off my airbase while I shred shit as fast as I fucking can is my drinking buddy!

If it's a networked app, just make it phone home every so often to see if it needs updating. Then email you or something.
Maybe, if you configure it to, and it phones home to learn it's got a big hole in its chest, it could close itself down until you can fix it.
Or, why not fix it automagically? I'm tired of hunting RPMs.

I have a digital audio server right now!
It's a pentium-pro 200 with 96 megs of ram. I put it together for less than $300, and most of that was for the 20 gig hard drive.

Mr. Alter (the government) states that Turner can be applied directly but Mr Sims states it doesn't apply at all.
How can Sullivan argue against either of them without enhancing the other opponents case?
