Adult onset(type 2) Diabetes is CERTAINLY a lifestyle disease. Type 1 ("Juvinile") diabetes is not, which is painfully obvious.
Type 1 and Type 2 differ significantly in the cause, but are similar in effect.
"Adult Onset" is caused by people who continue to eat large amounts of carbohydrates, which continually pump larger and larger qunatities of insulin into their system. Over a very long period of time, they build up insulin resistance, and eventually their bodies are trying to produce massive amounts of insulin. This causes a failure point, in which they can not produce insulin any longer. The predisposition to this is genetic in nature, but somewhere around 1 in 3 people has this genetic predisposition, which is demonstrated in the world's massive pandemic of diabetes
"Juvinile" is not environmental in nature, but a true defect in the original ability to produce insulin.
There is no way in hell this model could function worth a damn. I for certain would never pay to use most sites as it is... not because I'm cheap, but because the content ain't worth even that much.
The likelyhood of this ever taking of is completly nil.
There is far too many sites out there which want to be free anyway... Good luck charging for access on most of the common ones...

I Bought a DELL Inspiron 8000 laptop, loaded 512 mb ram, cdrw and dvd, 30 gig hd p3-850, 15" 1600X1400 screen, etcc.. cost me $8000 canadaian, including the 3 year complete care warranty($200ish)..
The complete care warrantee will replace anything that wasn't done on purpose... Accidentally drop the laptop, and break the screen, it's replaced.
Bill Gates and Microsoft don't give one whit about WINE and it's future.
WINE will forever lag behind windows. It's not what people will run the latest and greatest [insert app/game here] under.
The tiny little fraction of zoids who use wine, don't change the MS business one bit.
I know for a fact that Bill Gates and Steve Ballamer Know about WINE, and Are actually happy that it's there. It's a Ace card with the DOJ. -- "SEE... Anyone can make a windows clone" It represents no loss in market share, but provides a clear example of the ability to replicate Windows.
Understand, that in this day and age... Things cost money to run.
Ad-based revenue models are falling apart everywhere. Just look at fuckedcompany.com.
You should have to pay to play on their networks.
If you don't want to pay.. play a game that doesn't need a centralized play server, or write your own.
God. The last thing I want is yet another dumbass add popping up, and when the dumstunts realize that nobody looks at them anyway, will start making interuption-based commericals that stop the play.

Instead of using Linux we also considered using the free Solaris binaries, but the (older) workshop we need is not released on Intel, but only SPARC and the new Forte programs didn't include the necessary compiler.
duh!

But for crying out loud, can't they build a brower that will render tables correctly? I've seen so many situations where mozilla draws things out of whack-- And I'm not talkin' super complicated stuff here... standard html 4.0, which IE can draw correctly.
Until Mozilla renders better, I can never recommend it, or Linux as a viable desktop alternative to anyone....
Yes, This is perfectly allowed. The original author of a GPL'd work does not lose any rights (namely to license the product under another license agreement) when he puts a product under the GPL. Anyone else, however, given that they are not the original author, are prohibited by the GPL of re-licensing the software under different terms. There are many many many applications and software packages that allow you to choose the license you receive the program under, GPL or otherwise.
Wait a freakin' minute. Are you honestly telling me that Swing is GOOD? Great Caesar's Ghost!!! Swing is the most god-awful thing to ever happen to java. That bastard child not only runs like shit, it brands every crappy application that uses it. Mouse wheel support?
Oh maybe one day soon. Support for disabled people?
nope. Support for the my-fsking-color choices, that I picked with the OS?
not on your life.

This soon will be less of an issue. There are companies building triangualation software that allows the telcos to id your position.
Cell-loc and TimesThree are building cell-phone positioning technology. This sort of thing will soon be availible to your ordinary cell phone carrier. The FCC is trying to make the cell carriers provide locations of cell phones for 911 purposes...
A very good package that does it all is Communigate. I've used it before, and I really liked it. Commercial, but very nice. Handles really large loads like a dream...
I thought sony was trying to make the PS2 be considered to be a "consumer device" (like a vcr) rather than a computer. If the PS2 is a computer, a large number of countries slap bigger tarrifs on it, because it is in a different class of product. I wonder how this will affect the pricing in europe?
On the other side, hey! Cool!
These might make decent little boxen for a virtual server project/cluster. Or maybe even as embedded units in some places.
Really, the list of useful purposes this can be put to is almost endless, kinda like a... uh.... computer!;)

There is no such thing as can't, the impossible just costs more.
The reason you won't find left-handed equipment, is that there is what, 10% of the population which is left handed? The cost of manufacturing, and stocking left handed stuff is not worth the additional cost of reworking the moldings, and often times the circuit boards to be...um... backwards. Southpaws have gotten screwed from day one. Sucks to be you;)
In addition, there are many turncoat leftys that suck it up and use the equimpent right handed. My wife is a lefty, and she uses her computer with the right-handed ergonomic logitech trackball marble. So, with so many leftys livin' in the righty world, it drops the number of left handed mice that would be purchased s'more...
I would've thought there would be prior art for this type of thing already... Ooops,wait the USPTO doesn't take that into account before granting the patent.
Still, this should be easy to defeat.
I've been checksumming files on file servers for years, to verify that they have been changed. How is that any bit different than this ?
Now, I've been working with UML for several years now, and I've always found that it is a bit two um, "wordy" ( but with graphics;) I've been in design sessions where people started getting confused whent there was the wrong type of link drawn on the board, or other such nonsense, and UML isn't quite helping. It's making the art of software development much more complicated that it has to be. It really appears that most devlopers tend to obsess about it. Years ago, A group of developers I worked with came up with what, at the time we called "modified booch notation". Really it's very similar to GML, but without the boxes.(people would draw the clouds/boxes, an the text wouldn't fit, so we eliminated the boxes and just wrote the text.). With all the bright developers I worked with, this turned out to be great. Everyone was understanding the entire model, very quickly. (no UML->brain thunking...:)
I would not heistate to say that UML makes new developers afraid, and doesn't assist in the absorbtion of information any faster than GML.
It really does not benefit anyone to allow software to be patented (other than lawyers...).
Really, this is quite the flamebait question to start with...
The problems with software patents relate to USPTO's inablilty to determine (a) what is new, and (b) what is really innovative. The fact that the USPTO cannot verify either of these qualifications invalidates the entire system.
In today's vast vast vast society, there are literally millions of people working out similar problems. The Patent system is geared solely to those who have $bucks$ and to those who can work the system. If a bright poor student in a far-off corner of the country comes out with something brilliant, and at the same time(or even after), some other rich company/individual figures out the same thing, the rich guy wins. Why? because the rich guy files the patent, and therefore, in order that the poor student to actually profit from his work, has to win the court case. Law #1 of the USA: No Money, No Way.(*see OJ Simpson.)
The client application is given the cookie from the server application (in this case, what the MS server?, CDDB? I dunno )
When the client application gets a cookie it stores it until it connects to the server application again, when the server says, "hey gotta cookie?". Now, Media Player uses HTTP to communicate, and the server sends a cookie back.
Hell, the number of servers which generate cookies just for the hell of it are huge!
Really, if you are going to use MS software, you are going to have to get used to the fact that they want information from you.
Why are you using WMP instead of (insert favorite Free Software CD player here)?
That way, if there was a reason for the cookie, you could look at the source!

Canada is WAAAAAAY spread out. A hell of a lot more than US.
I gots my cable modem with very mighty bandwidth for $40cdn/month. I live in a city with 800000 people. It's one of the largest cities in Canada.
In the states, there are more municipalities over 800000 then there are cities in Canada. You gotta be kidding me!
Are you that unaware that the US has approx 281 million people to Canada's 30ish million? Canada's land mass exceeds the US!

The Game Genie I had for my 8 bit NES did that. It dynamically patched the running game to keep me from running out of lives.
... 1988ish?
In addition I had a SuperSnapshot cartridge for my Commodore64 that did the same thing, and that was back in
I'd say you are quite in the clear on that one.
