I agree totally. The hole point is that Yoda only uses the force when needed, as do all "good" Jedi. Remember the line Anakin says when using force pull to grad the fruit??? "Ob1 would be angry if he saw me do this." (or something like that.)
I thought the Yoda lightsaber fight was the most exciting thing in any of the movies. Almost as exciting as Darth Vader hoisting the emperor over his head in Return of the Jedi.
This would only be true if Netscape was led by the world's richest dork. Ppl around here hate wealth and capitalism. Well, most of them anyway. Then they grow up...
The ACLU is all for the individual rights of gays, single mothers, and minorities. The ACLU, as far as I can tell, loathes whites, heterosexuals, and Christians. White-Christian-straight males are the worst.
You are a moron. You are probably one of the same people who think GW should have bailed out Enron. Republicans are damned if they do, damned if they don't. If they had bailed out Enron, then "oh, those greedy pigs are all about business." When they don't bail companies out, you people say "those Republicans lack compassion.... blah blah blah."
Ok, I didn't learn much in college, at least as far as CS goes, that is really applicable. In my 5 years of real world experience, college has meant very little. It doesn't change the fact that I needed a degree to get my foot in the door, or to even get anyone to look at my resume.
The true value of college is its impact on your personal life. Not to sound cheesy, but you will make life-long friends and see and do things that you would not have the oppotunity otherwise. My years in college were the best years of my life so far. I wouldn't change it for the world.
Sheesh--- Why can't anyone disagree on slashdot without being a jerk. I think using embryo cells for stem cell research amounts to killing and torturing babies, so either way someone is going to suffer. Why not look for alternatives for stem cells, where no aborted babies are used?
What??? Bush halted embryonic stem cell research... And look what came out of it? Now there has been reseach into new methods. Look for another reason to rag on Bush, because this one wont work.
I was recently laid off from a company that Divine holds. They suck! We took 10% pay cuts while the executies in the the offices all patted themselves on the back for saving the company money.
Its all a very bizarre situation, which I could talk about for hours on end.
Hey, I'm no Microsoft basher or anything, but as long as Linux is around, and still a better solution that MS, Java will do fine. I am writing software for Redhat. Why would I use C# for a high-level or Rapid App solution?
"Some here say that 'soon wireless communications will be free'. How can that be until we come up with a self sufficient system that requires absolutely NO maintenance and works over systems that require NO administration or cost themselves? "
Because, like communism, people will just do this stuff because they think it is so fun and so nice of them to do. And we will all live in a perfect utopian society with no pollution and no greed. Won't it be great?
Thats all fine and nice, but you are forgetting about competitions. If AT & T Broadband does something like this to me, I will switch providers.... Yes, despite how much you may hate deregulation, it provides competition, and drives prices down.
A corporation exists for one reason- to make money. If a corporation is losing money because its prices suck and customers can go elsewhere, then it will obviously have to cut prices. Ain't it simple??????
Remember when you were a kid and a long distance phone call was a big deal? It cost a boatload of cash and the quality sucked. Now that there is competitions the phone companies are forced to compete for customers, and I pay 5 cents a minute for long distance--- not bad.

It would never reach this point. The very success of the internet depends on its affordability. If a news service charges a subscription fee I will just use something else. If such regulation were to render the internet so unaffordable it would simply cease to be used by the public anymore, ensuring its own demise, and that is why this article is nothing more then anti-Microsoft propaganda.
I think Microsoft can be questionable at times, just like most people here, but such blatant lies are just entirely wacko....
This article reminds me of the movie Red Dawn, where the Russians were these evil people who wanted to take over the USA and enslave everyone for no apparant reason.
There are techies all over, not just Silicon Valley... Things for techies seem very down here in the Chicago area. I have been out of work for over a month now, and I know people who have been out of work for over 6 months. With so many people looking for jobs recruiters are requiring more and more specific skills.

I wish I could mod you down as "stupid." If you really believe in what you typed, you would shut your computer off right now.
Well, then you can stay there... I'll enjoy my superior country.
You may be stupid, but at least you are eloquent.

Its so easy to be a cynic, yet so difficult to be informed... Do some reading.

Indeed.
Those nuts on the Christian stations make Christians look bad.
Those nuts who do suicide bombings make Muslims look bad.
That nut Richard Stallman makes the open source community look bad.....

Indeed, you are absolutely correct. I was sarcastically responding to the first post. I guess I didn't make that point very clear.
So you are of the opinion that scientific breakthrough does not happen without federal funding????

Actually, I hope and pray my computer would crash fast enough, so I wouldn't have to hear the first note of her crappy "music."
And thank God Windows crashes faster than it boots up.
Does anyone know of a website somewhere where I can find out if a CD is "protected" in such a fasion before I purchase it?
Little or no sex drive? What a horrible and cruel disease.
