We already have the Double Black. They should stick with what they know. What I want to see is Nestle Choc beer. Maybe frozen on a stick. Possibly syrup for ice cream.
Its like the RIAA is a playtester of the US courts. Well, I am glad someone is.... I just wish the US law would become stable enough for commercial release. I want to buy some of that. So I am trolling again. Sue me:)
Where the root servers are hosted is just polical crap. What is needed is an international steering commitee. Along with that I suggest that each country is designated a top level domain, such as "au" for the aussies. Whats this? It already is? Ok, well let them host there own root level servers with the responsability of sharing alike with all the other root servers in the world. Once this is done then we have three things: 1) everyone can quit there bitching 2) No one has particular control of DNS (good things and bad things) 3) The US based registrars no longer have the monopoly (always good, or so I would think... something in the back of my mind is nagging at me just now, but I pay it no attention)
To assume that we (US) need to arbitrate the internet to the rest of the world can only lead to folly. In the article it was mentioned some very sound reasons why it needs to stay as it is. Most profound is the theme that the internet works suprisingly well and once governments get involved maybe it wont (this is paraphrased and my interpretation). I do think that government has little place in the steering of the internet. However I think it is silly to think that countries do not have smart people as well that can 'deal' with the issues. It seems like maybe the US wants to hold control over something where they have none. Lack of governmental controls is what has allowed the internet to become a powerfull information exchange device. I can only hope that the other countries involved do not lose sight of the significance of this provable fact.
But its pretty easy to know that you only have a slightly greater chance of being a physicist than you do of being a profesional basketball player. You dont see us trying to train our kids to be basketb... Oh shit. Yep were fucked. They will end up at Wal-Mart. Luckily its a great store for Physici... Do you need a cart sir?
I have it on strong authority that it was a Nike jacket with a semi-conductive logo. I hope that clears things up for you. The strange part was the logo bearing the material in question never caught flame. For this reason Nike is considering doing a nation wide recall in Japan pending further CDC testing. Are we a bunch of geese? Of course its bunk! What the hell were you thinking? What really happened was probably more like the dude caught himself on fire and destroyed some company parpet and then claimed "I dont know what happened, maybe electrostatic discharge? You know I noticed something funny on the way into work today" and then some fireman said "I dont mean to say nuthin but uhh it would take a sustained 40 jigawats like in Back to the Future Three for this to happen" and then the reporter thinks 'ok, 40 jigawatts it is'... Instead of the headline reading 'Some emplyee does something stupid involving shoes, firefighters respond, man OK and apharently wont be fired, drives beat up car'.
But it does bring up a question I have been wondering about. It does seem that some people carry more of a charge than others. That is some people consistantly burn out chips when they touch them in a rude fasion but it is very hard for me to do the same. Is this through habbits of touching grounded things like Tony Shelwhatshisface in Monk or is there some chemical thing going on that makes us noticably different? Is there training and can I learn to start fires by touch as well? Also what does KERNEL PANICK mean. Is that bad? I think I am having one.
I forgot to mention that 10% of the earths water is no small amount and it seems to me that water is a decent place to survive cataclysms since you pretty much have to get stranded outside of water before you really notice such world changing events. I mean, if I were a really small organism, thats how it would seem to me. Cripes, now I have to RTFA.
From the post: UA Professor Emeritus Robert Strom believes that no more than 10 percent of the Earth's water comes from comets and any oceans then extant would have been 'vaporized by the asteroid impacts during the cataclysm.'
Uhuh, so that one that did get through can use the excuse "wha? criminey, Tara was still virgin, its not supposed to happen the first time!"
This is just what windows2000 needs is another windowsblinds only done by Microsft to make it complete. The only funy thing about this comment is that I think I might be deadly serious. I havent decided yet. Will it be sold as XP Plus? This may sway my seriousness.
As a small computer repair company that has seen enormous growth in the past few months, we are now looking to expand our facilities.
So its basically you then is it?
Well lets see, your going to want more than one monitor, more like three at least. One connected to a small cubby hole machine that you can use as a test device for external I/O ports and such, also for looking up information on the net and burning your CDs and floppies. You will want to make this a box that can masquerade and serve up some DHCP on your little techbench network. round off with a 5 port switch and some cable drops for power, net and the like.
The other two monitors are due to the fact you will only rarely have a single project going on at once, at the same time. Make sure you have cable extenders on your second two monitors, these are much esier to replace than the stock cables on your monitors when you bend the pins to hell.
Lots of lighting prefferably adjustable.
Since parts tend to be all over except where you want to find them, we have installed steel shelves to hold up largish rubbermade bins. The system is viewed as moderately successfull.
A multimeter, for looks and a logic probe just so you can use the words "logic probe" every once in a while. Some wrist straps so that you can insist on people wearing them (the policy deters most people from touching things). A CD rack or you will be always burning your tools and install disks.
Oh, make sure its a wood top on your bench. Nothing worse than a metal top techbench.
Make it easy to use. Don't give the user a choice between KDE and Gnome. Don't even let them see the packages to install...the names will confuse them.
I like people like you. It gives me the advantage.
And then consumers thought of it as an 'enhancement' that PCs could have. They thought of it as speeding up their machine rather than slowing it down. I remember having many short conversations with users (having purchased a new box) that started very much like "This computer goes to Turbo".
Marge: "Leading studies suggest that beta-catotene is not exactly 'good' for you. Thats why Centrium stopped puting it on the label"
Homer: "Thats what they said about massive vitamine E dosages not being good for you, as well as wd40 and the rest! When does it end?!? Next they will say that gristle isnt good for you!"
Homer: "hmmm, gristle... [slobber]"
Personally, I view all pop medicine the same way I view pop music: people dont know what they are taking or what they are doing to themselves and their children. For instance we revel in our ability in modern medicine to make our children be zombies (oh, and behave), and yet we bitch about the newer generations abusing over the counter drugs( I saw it on FOX last week so I know it to be true). We have such a docile population that we take this kind of crap due to "Oh, but he is so much better now. He pays attention in class and everything" that we do not even think about the bigger picture. Your giving the kid drugs to force him to get along with your ideal of how he/she should be. And then you get pissed when you realize she smoked pot at a party... Go figure. I am not suggesting something like pot is good or bad, only that I am amazed that we can condemn this sort of drug, while pushing so many others, all based on 'recent [corperate] research suggests...' I am only using kids as an example for it should strike home with many, but I have seen this crap with the middle aged to the elderly. The thing of it is, a medical doctor will perscribe medicine. And just like anyone else they are influenced by studies published in trade Mags (just like geeks, its how they keep up(lets not get into the 'kickback' aspect of it all)). Now that you have read through my almost pointless rant (thanks) I will get to the crux: I believe that if the study were done it would be proven conclusivly that studies increase sales. This taken with the fact your doctor may well be relying on these same studies should at least give you a moment to pause before you take seemingly radical treatment or allowing your child to be perscribed mood altering drugs. Sometimes they really do make things better for the child. I just think its more rare than what the 'studies' would have you believe. With that said, I am also for spankings when needed. Right up until they are about 25, thats about the age they should really know real life consequenses and they should feel free to self perscribe the medication they need to get along. I recommend beer.
Thats about how many spines I get through a week, on average. Sometimes I find one I might one to read inside the covers. Then it takes longer, on average. Mostly it depends on the size of pictures I think, on average. I would say I am about average.
Dont know what all the rest of that is, but you were a boyscout? Pansy boy. Did your momma dress you in that yellow scarf or did you get points for doin it all yerself?....... Just kidding.......No, for reals, we love you.
(when they say "and the rest of/." I always think they must mean me)
"You'd go to your local corner shop and buy the daily paper, and you'd have these large holes where the ads were.
"You'd somehow feel like your 25 cents had not gotten full value," he said.
Does he really think people go to websites to see the latest doubleclick ads? What he needs is a good inferiority complex to counter balance whatever this is.
since most corperate systems assume its spam if it comes from hotmail. I think turn about is fair play, as long as I did it to them first, by my 'petty' calculation that makes me the winner. Besides, its not like I am going to fix anything when a user complains they cannot send to thier hotmail account: "I am sorry, but hotmail is no longer compliant and is not supportable, please feel free to use another system".
Wouldnt it be awsome? A group of geeks that agreed? It would be like something notable. Im afraid it couldnt last long though. It would probably fall apart as soon as someone said the words "RedHat" or "Bitkeeper". Wouldnt you agree RedHat?
