But it doesn't address the fact that every user of the system (assuming a DB of some sort here) would be able to go in a screw up the application. If everyone using it is a domain admin, then they are able to change everyone else's passwords, then log in, scew with the data, and leave. They may not be able do that outside that particular domain, but now that application is still useless cause you can't trust its data.
This makes a wierd sort of sense. But if all Apple is going to do is drop a kiosk into every Blockbuster, why do they even need Blockbuster. Forget Blockbuster, they're dead. Think 7-11. There's way more convenience stores than blockbusters. Put your kiosks in them, like ATMs. Or in the food court at the mall. Next to the batteries at your super market. iTunes kiosks could be placed anywhere, forget outdated brick and mortar video stores.
I believe they may be talking about CG movies when they talk about movie quality video games. Whenever I hear it used they seem to imply that eventually we'll be able to play a computer game that is able to render graphics as good as say Shrek 2 in real time at playable speeds.
"Put down the controller and get a life. Video gaming is an escapist activity and you're being exploited by these companies. It's not healthy; I worry about someone who would play Grand Theft Auto for ten hours a day. It's a masturbatory activity, and it would be better if people put down the controller and went outside."
and replace references to video games with television:
"Put down the TV, and get a life. Watching TV is an escapist activity and you're being exploited by these companies. It's not healthy; I worry about someone who would watch TV for ten hours a day. It's a masturbatory activity, and it would be better if people put down the TV and went outside."
or howabout we change them to literacy references?
"Put down the book and get a life. Reading is an escapist activity and you're being exploited by these companies. It's not healthy; I worry about someone who would read for ten hours a day. It's a masturbatory activity, and it would be better if people put down the book and went outside."
The article seems to make it sound like just having the algae exposed to the air near a plant.
Actually, I got the impression that they diverted the flue gasses from the powerplant and bubbled them through the algae; instead of just venting the gases right into the air.
I think it's time the english language adopted a couple of different words for free. One for unrestricted, like as in, liberty. The other for no cost, like non-gratis. This would clear up a ton of confusion among the idiots...maybe.
Sad thing is, if MS were to come out with channels and active desktop today, they would probably actually be used. Holy fish, was MS actually ahead of the curve on channels?
Naw, must be some sort of optical illusion. Next thing you know, we'll be sending signals faster than light or something.
BUSH was the fucking president! He had every power, obligation, and responsibility to verify those claims were correct, which he obviously didn't So, what was president Clinton's excuse? I see you didn't mention him.
Saying Kerry is only a Senator is like saying Bill Gates has only a little money. And Gore is a private citizen, after his career in the Sentate, and 8 years as Vice President. They had access to the same information as Bush, and being in Washington for all those years, they even had it BEFORE Bush was President. So, what's their excuse?
Seriously this whole "Bush lied" thing has got to go away. There's so much more to blame him for, that getting your panties in a knot over a non-lie is a little awkward.
the recent X-prize contestants weren't exactly low cost,
For what it did, I think it was very low cost. Could you imagine NASA developing anything with the same capabilities as Space Ship One for 20 million dollars? The closest thing I can think of recently was the DC-X project back in the 90's, and that cost 58 million dollars.
They got nowhere close to what it takes to send crew / cargo to the ISS.
True, but the X-prize's goal wasn't orbit, just up to space and back down. It was eminently do-able, but nobody was doing it.
Let's see... cage up some hamsters, deprive them of natural light, natural surroundings, and buddies, give them an artificial sucrose-laden diet, see how they get depressed, give them drugs to make them happy?
And then suggest that these results could apply to people?
Yeah really. I mean their hamsters, right? Completely different biology involved. Now I have to get back to my windowless cubicle and finish that soda that's getting warm on my desk. Good thing there's nobody around on the weekends. I feel so alone...

So THAT'S what a self sealing stem bolt is for...
we're supposed to be homophobaphobic?
because only the government is allowed to coin.
pfft...only if you're ponies, er, i mean, gay.
That's like ponies, but, uh, one better...
We need more pink in here STAT!

Being a spammer and all, he's probably done a little of all of those.

Cryptic perhaps?
Oh, it's a bad day for puns.
When you put it like that, it makes me wonder if those Enron execs decided to go into the telecom business.
Third time is the charm, as they say.

They are doing the current work on the 65xx processors. They even have a 16 bit version. Alas, I see no 32 bit goodness.
Getting rid of that stupid rodent and going with touch screens would probably help a whole heck of a lot.
What kind of slashdotter are you?
