Funny that lucasfilm/lucasarts/lucas conglomerate should be the one to initiate that...sorta like the movie theater's requirements for screening Episode one....largest theater, minimum number of screenings per week/day, skywalker or other THX soundsystems.....ewokskin upholstered seats etc...
don't get me wrong, lucaseverything has certainly pioneered the sound and film industry with their sound systems and their digitally screened/filmed movies. I am impressed with what they have done, just not impressed enough to spend $2000 on the latest.:)
I think this is a good plan, it will make preinstallation a lot easier and there will be a lot easier than actually installing on every computer. I know how much easier it is to send images to computers rather than actually installing and configuring the drives and stuff. I think it makes a lot of sense and should definitely be tried rather than wasting time installing and configing.
Hey! that could be put to use somewhere as a server or something! Why store it in a museum? Tis perfectly useful! I could hollow it out and use it as a bedroom!
Also.....i still have an old Tandy 1000 that I still use every now and then...no reason to kill old computers..there is always some use for them. (even if it is for a coffee table to to sit on)
So...chances are, all of us nerds (or geeks) will be getting tons of email for fingering, pinging and doing other normal things to websites....I think the only good way to find tampering is to go into the server logs and scroll through all of them. (yes...all 3 bajillion of them.)
so...2.0 goes from outdated to vintage...herm... in Wines, the vintage (aged) would be better than the new ones...and by using this logic, I would be better off staying at 2.0 than upgrading.
If I had a GPS, I would have gotten into the geocaching thing. I was tempted to put some sort of prize in a bucket and drop it down an one of the many abandoned mine ventilation shafts in my area.:) You could be within five feet of the location, and never find it.:) I guess it sounds stupid when I tell other people.
Yes..there are actually several rebuttals. The major one that I have would be that the reason santa lives in the north pole is that he needs to precool all of the reindeer so that they can withstand the extreme temperatures. Another rebuttal is located at tiac.net and there are some more besides that as well. Another good rebuttal is located Here. Some other points that these articles look over is that many Christian households do not believe in Santa, thus he would skip them. In fact, a huge quantity of people do not believe in him, therefore the parents buy the gifts. This causes santa to have MANY less stops.
Some more info on santa claus is located Here and some radar and video coverage of last night's trip is located noradsanta.com I think that after looking over all of this evidence, it proves that these people have absolutely no lives, and I am going to look pretty silly posting a defense for santa.:)
here are some links that have to do with my post. First, the TIME DIGITAL article That is the article about this keyboard.
The second article: The keyboard I was talking about...it is a kinesis keyboard. SUper cool. I want one. Check out the kinesis thing though..it is really cool. They should have name this the keybowl..it would have made sense.
Personally, I find qwerty keyboards to hamper my typing skills. The keyboard itself doesn't lend itself to fast typing. In fact, my left hand does 56% of the typing, or so I have heard. I just can't stand the way the keyboard is set up. The DVORAK keyboard is slightly better in my opinion, but I haven't used them enough to tell for sure. I am really looking into getting this keybowl keyboard....the weirdest one I saw was in Time Digital this week. (i think) and it had all the keys depressed down into it so that that you can type normally with your hands in perfect position. All of the keys are sort of depressed into a big dip in the keyboard. It looks pretty neat and i think I could get the hang of it. I don't think the price is an issue though...the way I see it, if I spend even 100$ on a keyboard, it could possibly save my wrists for the rest of my life. Carpal Tunnel isn't fun.
XFree86 4.0.2 is officially out now. Besides adding a driver for those us with S3 Savage chipset based laptops, support for a variety of other chipsets, mesa updates, improved DRI support, this new release adds the Render extension which will hopefully give us anti-aliased fonts, alphablended menus, and a stromboli delivered nice and hot to your door. Mmm. Strom
I ran this through babelfish several times...and I still don't get it. I better lay off the penguin mints for a while.
I have to admit, I am one of those people who like to have things just randomly break. Unstable trees are definitely for me. That is why I sometimes have an uncontrollable urge to use Windows and Chevrolets.
Ok...I really need to find some Carbide Lamps..My father wants one REALLY REALLY badly....does anyone know where I could purchase one? preferrrably a newer one? email me. fjordboy@iceball.net
oh..and...leds are cool. (now this is an on topic post)
First of all, I think he should be taught how to play board games, and how to have fun like most kids..(video games? baseball?)
Second of all, if he gets into computers and wants to learn how to program and such, a great language to start on would be C++. It is very similar to many other programming languages, and it is easy to learn it quickly, and it is also a very useful skill to have. C++ and C are very similar to Java, so this prodigy would be able to do a lot of things with his knowledge....
I don't think it will hurt the opensource market at all, in fact, i think it can only help. Linux is strong, and still going strong, as is the flavas of BSD and BeOS won't be any different. It will pick up new users, and people might start using it more, however, it won't affect linux users and others. BeOS isn't all that much like linux, and a lot of people won't want to switch. I have used BeOS a little, and the GUI reminds me WAY too much of MacOS...anyway..I think that it won't hurt the opensource market at all, and if anything, it will detach some of the robots from microsoft to start using it.
compromise? naww..I think I will just stick with AMD thank you very much. I would rather not buy a new mobo, powersupply, case, heatsink, memory etc....if intel wants to sell this puppy, they should have made it compatible with the hardware that is already around. SDRAM is fine by me for now./me avoids aiding companies that are predatory and monopolistic.
until it can brew a cup of coffee too, i don't want it.
I think this is sorta neat though, because the dreamcast is able to go on the net, so I think the next thing to come out of this project is a sega dreamcast webserver.. That would be sweet. I suppose it could work pretty easily...the sega's come with a 56k modem and all..and you can get network interface for it.....I think that this guy should try running his dreamcast as a server..that would rule.
Wow...you code HTML?? you are so 733+!! I usually write HTML, and if you find HTML complicated..you need to come into the real world....html, even compared to BASIC, is pie! it is not a programming language, you don't "code" it...it is a Markup language! that is what it was meant to be and that is what it is. HTML does what it is supposed to do very well. If you have problems "coding" HTML look into getting a WYSIWYG and you can actually see what you are making. Or you can use M$ products such as word and Publisher and save files as.html files or use a converting program to convert to HTML.

I guess I was a little too late to get the download...anyone feel like mirroring that file? I would like it...:)

whoa...I posted this before reading the price list at datahand. Wow! that stuff is pricey! more than a 1000 bones for the basic system! dang!

"Floppy Awards?" I nominate the movie where Bill Gates is publicly displaying how great windows 98 is and it crashes. :)
Anime? exciting....right...I want some more linux stories! i don't understand this anime stuff! /me heads over to animefu.com to understand it more.

wait...maybe if the geekcorps volunteered at etoys by selling 3dfx cards and cell phones, we could pull this .com back into the black!
.com'S!
and maybe not.
