I'd
feel a lot better about this merger if local cable (like Time-Warner has such a big hand in) itself
faced tougher competition than it does right now.
I would feel a lot better about this merger if Time-Warner wasn't one of the top 5 contributors to the Gore\Liebierman campaign (iirc).
I think it is important that we establish a Solar Army to make sure that the possible Lichens of Mars are free to choose their own democratically elected pro-American business government.
The Supreme Court ruled that the air waves are a natural resource, and therefore the government has an
interest in protecting them from complete exploitation.
Handing the airwaves over to commercial entities is protecting them from exploitation?...like pimps protect prostitutes!
The identified spectrum would be available in addition to the 700 megahertz of spectrum to
be auctioned on March 6, 2001. The 700 MHz band comes from television stations
switching from analog to digital signals.
Who exactly is selling this bandwidth, and to who? Since this is public bandwidth, I imagine that the government will sell it off. But what is their requirments for being able to buy it? And will the buyer have to pay any rent on it? How de we know that Ted Turner won't buy the whole junk of bandwidth? And why is the government putting so much energy into finding ways for yuppies to have as many toys as they want?
When I first saw this post, I thought it was suggesting that the actual White House itself needed 3 Gigs of Bandwidth...I was wondering why that would be so important?
If all those OC-3s can be installed before Jan 20th, Bill Clinton can enjoy some streaming mp3s together with "www.rolypolygirls.com"...
But it turns out this is just some boring article about the future of our nations infrastructure, blah blah blah.
I don't know if I dream about playing Tetris, but I know that if I get in the habit of playing Tetris for a few days, I will think about Tetris immediatly after waking up in the morning. Sometimes I get up prematurly and can't get back to sleep. Then I stop playing Tetris...
One of the things that makes it so annoying for me to compulsivly think about Tetris problems is that my mind has to both present and find a solution for the problem...that is why I think it might be true what you say, that Tetris requires too much real-time thought for dreaming.
I don't really know if the technical and practical difference, or the amount of usage and marketshare they get; between Windows and other OS's is so pronounced that they would be called alternatives. Linux is close to equal, or surpasses Windows, in many settings, such as education, ISP, research and science.
I would say that a more accurate name for this show would be Alternative Desktop Computer Expo (but I guess that doesn't acronymize as well), since the Desktop computer is really the only place where Windows could be said to be the only game in town.
A more interesting show would be one on totally different OSs, that is OSs that are totally conceptually seperated from such things as directories, files, applications, documents, stdin\stdout, and all the things that we take for granted on a OS.
It would seem to me that this computer is so big and will take up so much power and leave off so much radiation, etc., that its existince will change its own results. The more climatology work this thing does, the hotter things will get!
I don't even know whether "Wo mao de jiao BOOTSIE" is grammatical. Not to say that it isn't...but I am not sure.
The most grammatical form would probably be "wo de mao jiao BOOTSIE" but I came up with the phrase while humming to myself one day, and "wo de mao, ta jiao BOOTSIE" sounds better.
I am glad that my signature is stirring debate amongst some of the greatest minds in technology of the day.
[JG] Tweak ability is really restricted. Anyone can join the
overall scheme of developing, but only Indrema can issue
"Tuning packs" and they have to be certified and heavily
tested for QA. You can not get into a command line on the
system or tweak it from any of that standpoint I suppose by this that he means that people are not suppose to tweak it or get to a command line. Someone will, though, I am sure. But how can you have Linux without a Command Lin?
, but you will be
able to skin your environment eventually and minor changes
like that. I am sure that Linus was sitting around one day, saying "Damn! I wish I could skin DOS! I'll have to program a new OS so I can make some minor changes! The menus and interface will features awesome gnarly dude 3D
graphics when you move around the interface. For example,
you click on a menu or select an object and you will hear
sound effects and see an explosion or something of that
nature. WHOA!!! EXPLOSIONS OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE. Whenever I know that I can get exploding menus, or something of that nature, things like kernels and commandlines and OSes fade from my mind...as I am sure is true if all of us.
Yep, I think this confirms it...this guy is a corporate drone...or else he was just reading from a press release. Of course, none of that means the machine is bad.
[JG] The Indrema will not feature a program with Napster-like functionality, when it comes to the L600 we make sure that there is copyright protection on all titles downloaded, or MP3s that are legal.
This sounds like a very guarded answer. Do you think he actually believes this, or doesn't want any possibility of flak coming down on his project?
Without rumors, Apple still does have some news to report...such as the news that all corporations like to report:
The corporations commitment to shaping the future.
The corporations commitment to building partnerships.
The corporations commitment to building a strong workforce that includes women and minorities.
The corporations commitment to forging alliances between the public and private sector to shape the future.
The corporations commitment to protecting the environment while returning their investors investment.
The corporations commitment to spending the money they aren't using to build a strong workforce or protecting the environment to pay PR firms to churn out glossy bullshit that they must have started reading themselves if they think they can get people to pay attention to it instead of actual, substantial news from independent sources.
The first site could actually pass as the site of a real.org
But once you see fancy graphics in frames, as well as the phrase "shape the future", the corporate bullshit detector should go into screaming overload.

In my Oregon ballot, I only have Nader, Gore, Buchanan, Browne and Bush I believe.
The Vermont Grassroots party probably isn't running a very agressive presidential campaign in say, Nevada (but you never know).
This is a question for Ralph Nader.
Will you switch the government over to Open Source operating systems instead of proprietary corporate operating systems?

The first decent Star Trek game !?!?!?
You people have short memories, or else just don't know a great game when you see it.
M 5,5,5,5
There are 2 Klingons in this sector
P
Amount to fire at ship #1:550
Klingon destoyed!
Amount to fire at ship #2:550
Klingon destroyed!
M 2,2,5,5
Not enough energy to move!
M 4,6,5,5
M 7,2
D
Now that was a great game! Not that any of you tetesterone crazed hyperactive 1st person shooter fans would recognize that...

Bribing\blackmailing the RIAA to donate money to the EFF wouldn't exactly be a great moral victory.

Now noways research come from AOL and not have biased or skewed results. I think that they are keeping out a very important part of the results...
