The gyro in it wants to keep the Segway in the upright position. Lean the handle forward and it tries to move the wheels under it to upright it again. Allow the handle to straighten up again, the gyro is happy and it stops moving. Lean back and the gyro causes it to move the wheels backwards. That's why the only control is for turning, which the gyro won't handle.
Clearly the president stated in his address that we are not at war with Afghanistan, but he said, "Our enemy is a radical network of terrorists, and every government that supports them." He identified al Qaeda as at the root of terrorism.
Bush also noted, "The leadership of Al Qaeda has great influence in Afghanistan and supports the Taliban regime in controlling most of that country. In Afghanistan we see Al Qaeda's vision for the world. Afghanistan's people have been brutalized, many are starving and many have fled. Women are not allowed to attend school. You can be jailed for owning a television. Religion can be practiced only as their leaders dictate. A man can be jailed in Afghanistan if his beard is not long enough."
On humantarian aid, "The United States respects the people of Afghanistan--after all, we are currently its largest source of humanitarian aid--but we condemn the Taliban regime." The US is the largest donor of aid to help the Afghans, aid that amounts to $170 million this year.
All that you suggest is good, but I think the President is way ahead of you on this
I think that Title II of the DMCA for which Orrin Hatch is responsible is good. It protects ISPs from unreasonable prosecution for violations of their users.
"The pricing has really come down" refers to the current competition between Oracle, IBM, and Microsoft keeping prices down. Because prices on databases are down, there is less profitability in databases then before which "kind of closes the door on the open-source guys." The statement has nothing to do with Red Hat, except that he's saying it's a very competitive, risky venture for them to get into.
Actually he feels that it's relational databases that are crippling. In his whitepaper advocating a unified namespace, he proposes a hierarchical model that fits to data rather than fitting the data to the model.
Just thought I'd reply to the comments made concerning Mormonism-
About Kolob and one day being a thousand years -
Psalms 90:4 - a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday.
2 Pet. 3: 8 one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day
about holy underwear - the garment is worn as a reminder of covenants made (sort of like circumcision, less painful). It is just worn underneath to be private instead of displayed.
handshakes - Brigham Young said that in the temple we learn those things that enable us to pass by the angels that stand as sentinels and enter into heaven. The temple endowment though is more than just learning handshakes. It confirms the scripture, John 14:6 - I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man ccometh unto the Father, but by me. I think that the endowment was given more to benefit us now, to strenghten faith. (I've also wondered if others will be allowed to try to pretend they know; I don't think they will.)
proxy - in the temple we recieve ordinances for ourselves, and then we my receive them as proxy for those who have died, though they are effective only upon those people also accepting the covenants (as they are taught in the afterlife). An example of this is baptism for the dead (see 1 Corinthians 15:29 - Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?)
a prophet - Amos 3:7 - Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. Christ directs his church through a prophet.
blacks and the priesthood - It is held that Cain and his seed were cursed, as to holding the priesthood, and marked, with dark skin. In 1978, a time after all the controversy about the church and blacks had died down, the prophet (see above) received a revelation that all worthy male members regardless of race could receive the priesthood. (Acts 3:20,21 - And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.) Today in my town there is a black baptist church (AME), most of the other churches which are white, and our congregation which is integrated. Stop by and see.
Lastly, I understand that the temple ceremonies were entered into the Congressional record. I think it was around the time that there were hearings on Utah's bid for statehood. Thus they are not secret, but they are sacred, with appropriate places and times to talk about them.
When I saw Toy Story I really wished that the human characters were real and not CG. Having the toys animated was great, but I thought if the humans were real that would have been incredible. In Toy Story 2 though, the toy repairer character was great CG though. Perhaps that is because he was sort of a familiar cartoon character, the chess playing guy from the shorts.
I don't think I would have liked the toy store owner (the bad guy) to actually be Newman, but then again the CG character wasn't Newman, it was just his voice.
So I think that real is better than CG, but it definitely is harder. That is it's easier to CG a character, harder to find the right actor.
The Catholic Church held that scripture was only to be read by the ecclesiastical leaders.
In 1380 John Wycliffe began the first translation of the Bible into English, which was completed by his associates in 1392. It was banned/condemmed by the Catholic Church. Wycliffe died December 31, 1384. In May 1415 the Council of Constance ordered his body disinterred and burned. This decree was carried out in 1428.
William Tyndale was responsible for the first English publication of the New Testament in 1526. In 1536 Tyndale was imprisoned for 500 days before he was strangled and burned at the stake.

Clearly the majority of the wired U.S. does not want our Bush to be president elect
Sorry Gomer, go analyze the data. Crackheads, prostitutes, and those who would sell a vote for a smoke prefer Gore. The urban vote, which would be considerably less wired, prefers Gore.
Do you really support the tech leader of the administration that gave us the V-chip and the DMCA, inventor of the internet, Al Gore.
You may say that by saying Gore invented the internet that I am mis-representing what gore actually said, but if you listened to the debates, you would realize that you are also mis-representing what Bush said.
Wake-up. Do you want a government that wants to try to solve societies' problems with it's methods and your money (Socialist Democratic Party) or would you prefer less government and to do good with your money the way you want to (Republican)? Even if you think you agree with the Democrats' social agenda, do you want to give up your rights?
Wake up. Think for yourself. The popular media represents a liberal point of view. Dig deeper. Wake up.
I'm amazed at those who are so nearsighted as to call for changes to the Constitution. How many who call for changing it have actually read/studied it? It is remarkable how much foresight and wisdom the framers of the Constitution had when writing it. It has been used by countries around the world as a model for their constitutions, with few having come near to it. It has served us for over 200 years and is still beyond the wisdom of today.
Most realize that the legislative branch of government, Congress, is designed to balance representation between small and large states. Each state has equal representation in the Senate, and the representation in the House of Representatives is distributed according to population. Did the framers of the Constitution also desire the executive branch to exhibit a similar balance between the states?
I think it is a very knee-jerk reaction for so many to call for a change to the electoral process. Prior to this election the reverse scenario was being postulated, that Bush would win the popular vote and Gore the Electoral College vote. Think long term, not short term.
Anyone who was in line at 7:00 was allowed to vote. Your arguement would favor also favor an argument of someone saying, "I didn't know election day was Tusesday, can't I vote today" or pehaps the argument, "Gee officer, I didn't know the speed limit was 65."
The founders of the United States wanted a balance of power between the states and the federal government and also attempted to balance the power among states. This gave the obvious split of Congress between the Senate, all states equally represented, and the House of Representatives, representation proportional to populatiion. It would also appear that this thought went into the electoral college.
Before the California vote came in, Bush actually held the popular vote by a margin that Gore now appears to hold when California is included. Bush holds, at this point not counting Florida or Oregon, a 29-20 lead among states (this includes the Washington, D.C. so the total is 51 not 50).
Drug users are the real victims here. I propose a new federal program on drug education. They need our help. My opponent on the other hand wants to divide, call this criminal behavior.
2) Minority Religions...
I don't think we've come far enough in supporting minority religions. It's not just enough to have religious freedom. My opponent is against affirmative action, but I don't think we've come far enough.
3) Why give a tax cut?
Look, it's about what's fair. We have prosperity now. Why should we give back to the rich when there are those who we need to work for.
4) electoral reform
In this election there is a clear choice. A vote for Mr. Nader will help elect my opponent. Think about it. Who is farthest from Mr. Nader's ideals?
5)How Do You Feel About Intellectual Property?
Well oviously my statements on the origin of the internet have been misinterpreted. Yes, there were some others who helped.
6) Encryption....
I am for protection. I was instrumental in the V-chip initiative. We need to embrace technology to help society.
7) Rising Political Protests
Well people are not happy, but I will work for the people. My opponent complains that I take money from Hollywood, but Sen. Lieberman, Tipper and I are in the forefront in the battle against them.
8) Asteroid Defenses
I hate the disparaging of the military that my opponent has done. They are the finest young men and women our country has. There is not a better prepared military in the world.
9) The Future of the Country, and of Humanity
I feel good about the future. If you vote for me, you can feel good about the future.
>>A vote for Bush would, unsurprisingly, be a vote for a socially conservative Supreme Court, which is almost certainly what we want to avoid in the near future if we want privacy and free speech to continue on the Internet.
Are you kidding. With a liberal Supreme Court you would only have freedom to do and say those things that fit in with their liberal social agenda. With a liberal Supreme Court say good-bye to true freedom.

GJ is that language, A Generic Java Language Extension . Note that the page contains this link, Sun has put forward a proposal to Add Generic Types To The Java Programming Language, based on GJ.
I first came across GJ in an article, GJ A Generic Java, in the February 2000 issue of Dr. Dobb's.

Good point.

I think that Title II of the DMCA for which Orrin Hatch is responsible is good. It protects ISPs from unreasonable prosecution for violations of their users.
Title I of the DMCA is the offending section. It was implemented to comply with the WIPO treaty, especially Article 11. You can blame Mark Foley (R-FL) who "led the fight" to pass the WIPO in the House. Note that he is Chairman of the Congressional Entertainment Industry Task Force.
This is another case of Americans giving up their rights to world organizations.
