How many millions of their money are they spending on these "lawsuits" (cough publicity)
There is absolutely nothing anyone can do about music "piracy"
A First Person Shooter could be compared to a text adventure (Zork). You enter a room. You have a description (although you dont have to read about it anymore). Your exits are obvious. You have a set number of actions you can take.
I wont even go into the similarities between FPS-A and FPS-B.
I feel cars should be eliminated as soon as possible.
Think about all the stupid places you go
Think about the worlds dependency on gasoline
Think about the air (Thats CO and CFC's folks, Radiation kills. Greenhouse effect is a cycle.)
Think about what is destroyed to make more room for cars<br>
Think harder.
Think about all the fast food you eat because it is convienient to your car lifestyle.
(If you don't understand the environmental effects of the fast food industry Think Rain Forest and Cheap Land for Beef.)
I've read the article. http://www.lvrj.com/lvrj_home/2000/Aug-13-Sun-2000 /business/14141335.html
It's very vague. A link to some real data about the competition would be useful... (http://www.motortrend.com/ search engine sucks!)
It seems a little embarrasing to think that what is essentially a car that runs on compressed air that blows a fan to turn your wheels what walked away with the award for "Automobiles for the New Millennium" We might as well pedal. The guy even stated that this would not be pratical for 50 years.
What about anti-gravity? What about that 100% automated transit system? What about virtual reality?
(Hey, do you really think we wont have fully immersive VR within 50 years? At least that will save some driving time.)
I'm basically saying Cars are dumb and I hate being dependent on them.
BTW - All homes should be 100% Solar powered. Anything manmade should be 100% bio-degradable and recycled. Hunting for sport should be punishable by death and (amost done) Love your Cats.
I'm amazed that even a Network engineer (as well the rest of you) does not understand what SBC is doing.
The Bandwidth is fine. I pay for a 1.5/128k line. They guarantee in writing a minimum of 384k downstream.
I can easily download from fast sites at up to 150k/sec.
Now, when I go to use news.swbell.net no porn image will download faster than 128k. (Even during a 3:00am jack off fest, so its obviously not a system load problem.)
THAT is the bandwidth cap. HTTP, FTP, etc are not affected. But the cap on usenet is obvious.
I figure these satellites could be sold. Free shipping would be a plus. The only catch would be they could only be delivered to the water and they can only promise accurate delivery within 7500 miles:) (oh, and AS IS)
Slashdot Mirror
If you dont have the telescope you can use any of the eclipse viewing methods to see the spot.
Try a pinhole projector.
I remember seeing Aurora that filled 25 percent of the northern sky. It was a deep crimson for most of the night.
This was visible in central ARKANSAS. (The 1989 event)
Just one more thing to add to your list of "things that we should have thought of before we became dependent upon technology."
