oh god.. once again the spouting of Canada's only claim to fame. Geeze, Canada, you sound like some bitter old kook trying to relive your life's one and only success over and over.... what have you done lately?
So try this one on for size... long after all of the NHL leaves Canada, hockey will be playing in Dallas, LA, Pheonix, etc.
Other then the above constant reteric, canada is not half bad.
Sort of like how many Hawaiians insist they are Hawaiian, not American.
Considering how the Hawaiian Islands became a part of the US, that statment is fairly accurate. Hawaiian is a race, and the islands were a sovereign nation until good old usa came in and took it.
History is your friend....
I think that I shall never see A graph more lovely than a tree. A tree whose crucial property Is loop-free connectivity. A tree that must be sure to span So packets can reach every LAN. First, the root must be selected. By ID, it is elected. Least-cost paths from root are traced. In the tree, these paths are placed. A mesh is made by folks like me, Then bridges find a spanning tree.
Why in the hell is the link from the central valley to the coastal areas go via the 152? Many more people could use the train if they made a link directly from Sacramento to the Bay Area. Hell, most of the people who live in Tracy work in the Bay Area. And that comute sucks. Besides, who wants to go to Gilroy, Garlic capital of the world, anyways. I bet those folks who live in between Tracy and the Bay Area used some of their dollars to insure some large rail project did not ruin their little towns.
LOL.. this reminds me of my trip to Rome and the Vaticam museum. there was this one Roman era statue that has some nude guy holding a bowl of fruit in front of his groin. What strunk me as odd was the this really goofy smile on his face. Upon closer inspection, the large fruit in the front of the bowl was the tip of his dick. Looking underneath the bowl shows his shaft going into the fruit. Needless to say we all laughed our asses off.
I think you missed the point. Making MS look less like a monopoly is not what they article infered. To me, MS is saying that since we spent so much money on developing Office X, we want Apple to push OS X so all those new OS X folks will buy Office X. If MS feels that any money spent on OS X versions of software will not be recouped, then they will be much less likely to spend that money.
By far the best manuals, in my not so humble opinion, are Unix man pages. They tell you EVERYTHING you need to know without fluff. The first time I started using unix, I was given the System V Rel 3 programmers, user, and Administrators guide and reference manuals. I read them all and the rest is history. If i want to be entertained, I will read fiction. If I want info, then don't sugar coat it, just give it.
The exeption to this rule has been some of the Nutshell books that are both informative and entertaining. But if you try to add too much humor, the message gets diluted.
OK, what have the Russian's done lately other than this?
The US has tested ion drives, beach balls on Mars, landed on asteroids and... uh, ok.. so maybe we don't have much more on the plate, but those are substantial achievements and risky.
The real thing is to see what is being planned right now. I don't know... and I am too lazy to check.
The truely funny thing is that not all people will see the same thing when watching Hogan's Heroes. My mother grew up in Germany during WWII. She had to be part of Hitler's Youth and all that stuff even though her father was not a supported of the Nazi party (and died because of it). She married a U.S. GI in the 50's and moved to the US. She absolutely HATED Hogan's Heroes. We all thought it was great, but she made us turn it off when she was around.
So yes, that show IS insulting. It just depends on who you ask.
Campaining currently is expensive. And many politicians have to raise large sums of money to be competitive. Why not take money out of the equation? The airways are public domain which was licensed to comercial entities. I would like to see candadates have free and equal access to the airways. There should be manditory debates. Of course there would be lots of work to ensure only qualified people have access, but that is another story.
Now the problem of having businesses paying for their own airtime in support of a candadate is tricky. You cannot stop that, but HONEST reporting of who is funding it is necessary.
I would even take a closer look at term limits for all elected officials. Running the government was not meant to be a full time job, but rather a place where members of society can spend a few years helping run the country.
You cannot and should not stop people from spending the way they want to, but we can make the process of running for office much much less expensive.
That is why campain reform is a MUST if USA is ever to see a goverenment that really looks out for the good of the people, and not just the good of the rich and powerful.
I'm not one to flame, but the people at FOX are smoking something with strong hallucinagenic qualities.
Ahh were that it were true. I mean what better way to enjoy Futurama, The Tick, Family Guy, etc. then smoking some fine hallucinagenics and a bag of cookies.
The guy, Santa's Head, who was responsable for the WWII mod for MythII, which by some people's opinion saved MythII, worked on Myth 3. He also happens to be a Clan mate of Marius of Mariusnet.
Clan Plaid started as a Myth Clan way back and are spread across the US.

That's why you and some friends buy a T-1 and be your own ISP. Nobody will tell you you can't do that.
then will all you Linux die hards switch to BSD?

ahhh, but that is where the super DMCA comes into play. Encrypted networks like freenet could be outlawed!!!!
sigh.... the more I try to stay informed, the more pissed off I get. "BUS DRIVER!! Pull over, i want to get off".
telecommute. Just tell your boss you need to telecommute a heck of a lot more...
They can have my hard drive when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.....
If you aren't pissed off, you haven't been paying attention!
That is why I like UNIX, and why I wanted to write my own.

That is a nice quote from Linus and it should put to rest the silliness around here that have people believing linux != unix.

Kevin,
In your opinion, did your actions, for which you were convicted, warrant the jail and probation time?

My problem with this plan is the routes proposed.

The Vatican is a City-State. Technically its own country although tied extremely close to Italy.

When questioned, the victims reported that one of the assailant shouted, "Bite my shiny metal ass" as they walked off.

Write and phone your congresscritters NOW.
Scotty did not need to use the transparent aluminum, he used the formula as barter to get the plexiglass to house the whale.
That said, he still could have used an opaque material instead of the plexiglass.
