There was a little thing that went over your finger in the mid-90's that claimed to be able to track changes in your brain waves so as to control a pointer. I saw it at the mall and a magazine.
Never bought it, but interested if anyone knows whether it would work.
However, from the MSNBC artical it seems they actually often have real email address's at Hotmail or Yahoo. The guy said he had a bot that signed him up for 20 Yahoo addresses at a time. I know when I look at the full headers of spam it often comes from the free email service that it claims.
I mean, why would they lie about something when it would be easier to get a free hard-to-trace email address?
IANAL, but from what I heard from Talk of the Nation or one of those daytime NPR shows is that there is a law that allows republication (such as micro-film). The question is whether or not the internet is covered by that law.
I think it was. The courts have been going both ways.
It is not piracy. Piracy is outright stealing. Seems to me that while it is questionable, that it is not piracy.
Yes, for the last few years it sounds like ALL freelance contracts are worded so as to give up all their rights. So this case will only decide what happens to stuff from the early 90's and before.
Everyone who goes around yelling "switch to jabber
" is missing the point. I use AIM because my friends do. It isn't like using an alternate operating system or even like using an alternate word processor in that the other people using it is ALL that matters.
Sure you might come to some hardship using a non-MS Word, but it will still be usable, even if your the only one that uses it.
But instant messenging isn't like that. I do not know anyone who uses Jabber. If I did, I might use it. I can't expect my friends (the great majority being non-geeks) to switch to Jabber.
Well, I hardly ever use the features in OSCAR anyways, so I'm not too disappointed. The reason to use AOL Instant Messenger is to instant message. There are plenty of other ways to do all the stuff OSCAR does.
computer are better because they use higher-resolution computer screens. Offline multiplayer for console sucks sense there are such low resolutions on the TV.
Computer ports in general suck. I always stick to games that were made for the computer first.
I agree with you; seeing how credit cards are almost never (if ever) stolen in route to the server online shopping would be safer then offline if wasn't for the fact that companies like to keep the credit numbers. They do, so it isn't.
Just don't blame one-click; Egghead didn't have it.
Majik 3d is another massive online world. It is still a work in process. It looks like it takes much more from MUD then Fantasy RPG games, so it is less centerally organized.
On the FAQ it says:
What is the difference between WorldForge and Majik? WorldForge: WorldForge's approach is not to create a single game, but instead a flexible framework that can support a variety of different kinds of servers, clients, rule sets, worlds, and graphical "looks".
Majik: The Majik Project strives to create not a system for creating roleplaying worlds, which is what WorldForge aims at, but is a concentrated effort to create one complete and evolving roleplaying world.
I agree. The screen shots and what not look impressize. The other threads about cheating and bandwidth will be a problem (that can hopefully be overcome), but I don't think finishing is.
Somehow I doubt Indrema is going to claim to be highly competitive againist the Big Players. They are going to have a niche market, which because they are not investing huge amounts in advertising, will be enough.
One advantage I saw is that they are going to be upgradeable.
I would think about the moral implications as well. Read up on US foreign policy and decide if that is something you want to further and support in a much more major way then Joe Citizen is forced to.
A good site is Znet, Kosovo. They have many articals posted about that recent bombing.
In my opinion US foreign policy is evil and the only reason it is allowed to go on is because people don't know about it. We condemn the atrocities of some (like Kosovo), but finance the atrocities of other (like in Turkey). And does anyone know why we made a no-fly zone in Iraq? And still have it? And sabotaged the weapon-inspector program by putting spies in it? And were orginally supporting Iraq? And Pinochet? And a host of other despots?
Anyways, don't decide this based purly in economic terms.
I don't understand why it has to be a plugin. Why can't there just be extra DNS servers to connect to?
And, Konqueror uses Netscape plugins so it wouldn't be an issue. So one couldn't write a plug-in for the "big-two" without writing it for a third as well. And of course there is a mozilla and its spin-offs.
If the ad popups are all the same size, it will make it easier to block them without blocking non-ad popups (like webpages where the links open up a new window, which can be handy)
Slashdot Mirror
How compatible is Progeny with using the offical apt-get? Completely?
I think it was probably a real interview. Just not about real stuff.
If you can put this up, then you certainly need to put up Linus's message. He said he submitted it to slashdot.

It gave some more confidence in humanity when I saw they were not bidded on.
The Java version uses TOC I believe.
All TOC has is instant messenging. So, in my opinion, everything one needs.
Since the 80's when the media first started misusing it.

I doubt that would be good enough. AOL wants to have control; I don't think it is the banners that are annoying them.
That is actually a good idea. Of course, the coolest part of the i-opener was the screen.

It is a saying. He didn't mean it literally. Its like the saying that if something bad could happen, it will.

Somehow I don't think that an ad campaign is any evidence that Linux is not a fad.
Actually, I remember reading something in an artical several months ago about laser redundancy. So this really isn't knew at all.
We could use YAPM however. Deb is pretty good, but there still needs to be something better.
