Isn't using a Palm PC to cruise the web kind of like using a hand drill when you need a blowtorch when you need to drill a hole? Just use the Palm for what it is meant to be used: as a security blanket for when you can't be at a desktop pc.
Don't you just hate all of those "first post" losers? Gawd..."
Hey now, don't piss on this guy's "first post" parade. It's not like he is out there murdering people forgoodnesssake. If he wants to have a little fun with the first post thing, let him. You can't stop him and Rob won't either, so lighten up. Let other poeple have a little harmless fun.
If you had TB, you'd beg to trade it for a common cold. Anti-biotic resistant TB is a very scary thing, much more so than, say AIDS. AIDS you can sidestep through safe-sex, not re-using needles, etc. TB can be caught in public places with no contact from the person who sneezed up to 3 hours ago. My grandfather died from TB
This makes a lot of sense. OS/2's big claim was that it ran Windows Applications "better than Windows". But, I think, people then think "why not just get Windows if running windows app's is what we want". With Window's source running rampant I am suprised that someone hasn't put it out on the net where everyone can grab it. assuring you that your code will run on UNIX exactly as it does on NT. Yeah, crashes alot and runs slow
"If the original IBM PC bios had been patented, we would probably still be forced to use it to this day."
I think that it would be more likely that other competitors of that day would have been in a better position to compete and to expand their platforms. The Mac, which was always expensive, would have gained more acceptance. If the IBM were the only x86 game in town, the price would have been kept high, allowing for more sales of Mac's. The Apple II and Comodore would have continued to capture the home market. Clones meant more "action " for everybody and kept the price lower, meaning dad could buy the PC for the home that he uses at the office.
If (a dead sheep in formaldehyde == art || a crucifix in a tank of piss == art) then mozart is not art and piccasso is not art and rembrant is not art and dega is not art and cezanne is not art and bach is not art, etc, etc
But, IMHO, this statement is not true. A lot that passes for art is not art, it is eqo saying it is art and making you say that it is art also.
at the way some people are saying that Red Hat is Linux. RH is a distribuiton. for goodnes sakes.
And another thing, how can you get too excited about the prospects of a company who's main product can be copied and and sold as if it were your own. They lost money last year. They charge $80 and cheapbytes charges $2. What's they $78 for? service? The nice book and box?
I understand free but I don't understand RH selling stock.
"and prosecution of unlawful conduct that involves the use of the Internet, such as the illegal sale of guns, explosives, controlled substances, and prescription drugs, as well as fraud and child pornography".
I use NT everyday and almost never have a problem. I don't have a choice and would rather use Linux for the experience (and do at home) but NT just aint that bad. You musta had somekind of HW problem, geekboy.
porn sites have a URL xxx://sleaze.com and make it eazier to filter. Let the sites rate and police themselves. Informational sites about breasts could be weeded out from titilating site. What we have now is akin to having a porn store in Walmart, right in the face of people who don't want to see it. That would never happen and so shouldn't this. We need a change, now.
I don't think it was the Mac. The Xerox Star came with a crisp and clear 21" B&W monitor in 1983. The idea then was to have a large desktop that you could put two documents side by side.
You may give the Mac credit for bringing someone else's idea to the massess and thats about all. Not that I don't love 'em. I just bought a Mac SE onepiece at a yard sale for $10. Great little computer for WP and such.

Garfinkel is
pointing out that it's technically possible that (you) are being watched
and recorded in places when you assume you're alone
I bet they catch a lot of people picking their nose
Yes he did invent the Internet and he also, not known to many people, invented programming, by inventing the algorithm! Yes he did!
Al Gore - I loves you man!
Not if you put "Internet 2" in quotes.

COBOL? COBOL's great for it's intended us -- business ap's.
Try running VB on an IBM 3090. AFAIK, it just doesn't work.

Just my opinion and a darn good one at that!
Hemp is an even more renewable resource!
what are they going to do with his old head? I'd kinda like to kick it around a while.
I disagree. I don't think you would *see* a car traveling that fast. I think it would pass without you noticing it. This is ~52 miles per second.
What do you think Alan?
"What would have happened if IBM went down a different path?
What would have happened if they had chose CP/M and DR, we'll never know, but now, IBM's on a new path with Linux. Better late than never.

as long as they don't interfere with the business at hand, they are really cool to have around.

Sounds good to me, you infavor of this stuff?

slashdot.org would have gone for if someone had snapped it up as an investment and the Taco boy would have buy it on ebay? A million? Two? Three!
It'd be worth every nickle!

Can I sit on the floor for $29.95? If I had $300, I'd sit up all night and watch it!
I am an average Joe and it makes me so mean :-P
