depends how the pie is sliced. some moron is going to decide that every company needs a few hundred billion IP network, just so their routing tables are nice and pretty.
remember, we now have subnets because we discovered not everyone needs an entire class C. just cos there are lots of IPs doesn't mean they are available for anyone to use...
for areas where manual voting is used, the votes are counted manually and entered into the electronic database to be counted with the remainder of the electronic votes.
I must say though, in that episode, it was not entirely electronic. People voluntarily stepped into the death chambers when marked as "casualties".
yup - though the casualties are calculated by the computer. whereas automated attack systems will still drop actual bombs on the people.
what better way to rid the planet of "mundane" people like ourselves but to get us to voluntarily enter some kind of death chamber? I'm usually no luddite, but the human genome map, and the inevitable opportunities to manipulate it really scare the shit out of me.
haha, somehow I doubt you'd be getting anybody (that's playing with a full deck) stepping into a death chamber without a DAMN good reason.
have you ever read the athome.newsgroups? newbies and even no-so-newbies who've just discovered Zone Alarm go completely mental when they get port scanned. I think they're plenty hyperalert over the whole thing as it is.
been a while since I've used Moz, but some of my biggest wishes are: CTRL-N clones the current window, not just open a new blank one; to File > Save As > Web Archive (or equivalent) like IE5 does, which saves a page, images and all, into a single file; full screen mode is nice though it's only really useful for demo/monitoring machines; and i want to bind the Previous button to Backspace and/or one of my mouse buttons.
The easiest way to explain the situation to them is to have them imagine that the hood of their car was welded shut and the bottom was completely covered. Would they be pirates for trying to change their oil? Or see what was causing the blue smoke? No! And people would never allow this to happen.
they do have a point for keeping source closed though. they're trying to make a profit. anyone can come along, get ideas from the source, and write their own competing product without the need to invest in a lengthy design and prototyping phase - I know that the hardest part of writing any program is in analysis, research and design, not the coding stage. even if the actual code (the copyrighted part) is not ripped off, the ideas still are.
if suddenly every single bit of creative code (either the actual source, or via reverse engineering) is open to the public, we can expect a flood of stupid patents as these companies try to protect their investment in research.
OTOH, they've abused the privilege way too much, so they deserve to be stripped of it:)
But I do feel badly for the engineers who are being forced to create a lemon
perhaps the cue:?!@#%cat (whatever the hell its called) engineers were on to something. it's obviously gonna be reverse engineered, so why waste months and thousands of dollars making some fiendishly clever death device, only to be twarted by some nob with a pocket knife, a piece of string and some naval lint? fsck it - just xor/base64 it and let the lawyers take care of the rest.
since journaled filesystems by definition write everything twice, once to the journal and then finally to the location on disk where the data belongs
got any more info/links (eg. white papers) on this? i have searched every site mentioning journalling FS' that I have been able to find, but tell me whether a real journalling FS is supposed to log metadata only, or both.
make one of em full screen, and tell me how much you like that grainy, non-antialiased mess.
and then look at my hardware decoder in fullscreen mode - the 4+ times magnification is almost unnoticable with antialiasing, not to mention zero dropped frames and full Dolby Digital surround sound. All in a file equal or less size than some gay mov or avi which only does standard stereo and doesn't scale up to even 2x magnification without looking shitty. even software mpeg can handle 2x.

fucking bastard - why did that post as an AC!?
testing.. 1, 2, 3. i'm logged in slashcode. get it right.

this was an episode in Star Trek TOS, where the war was entirely electronic.
why bother indeed!
lets all go back to plain ASCII text (with ANSI colour for the rich people with colour monitors).
the lowest common denominator is why Windows is popular you know.
so much for open standards being the cure to all evil.

unfortunatly he will never make it back to earth as civilisation was destroyed by the Year 10,000 bug.
Verily, the lack of video game support is one of the main reasons that the world has not yet converted entirely to Linux.
one of, perhaps. THE main reason is all Unix GUIs suck arse compared to Win/Mac. CDE is about the best I've seen, but even it is rather lifeless.

I forget what the other one was.

IMO, gross abuse of copyright should mean the copyright is nullified.
Windows' source code anyone?
umm.. i know little about electrical theory, but....
isn't that supposed to be watts? if not, at what voltage is this LED? w = v * a (IIRC)

er, thats square meters. 10,000 meters square(d) is HUGE

but all of IT was built by humans to be used by humans
yeeahhh... sooo... how does that relate to Macs?

and mine's been going down for no reason at all. i haven't been modded down on any comments, and i haven't moderated recently either...
how intensive would it be converting MPEG4 to MPEG2 on the fly?
am I the only one on this planet with a hardware DVD/MPEG decoder?
FFS, stop it with the MOVs, AVIs and REAL-SHIT movie formats! I can only hardware decode MPEG2 damnit!
