I was in the middle of typing up a research paper for a philosophy project on Descartes last week. I thought I was just a little wack after thinking too hard about that whole mind over matter thing. Glad to know im sane.
looking at my settings, sure enough speech recognition is turned on.
This problem won't be solved in short order. It's going to require education, leadership from Washington and true diligence to help our fans - that would be you - to embrace this life and death issue and support our artistic community by only downloading your music from legal Web sites
How can anyone compare death to music piracy with a straight face? Needless to say I turned the channel and stopped watching the shortly there after. The little respect that I had for the Grammies was lost that night. I think it pissed me off more that no one booed him off stage.
It really angers me to see US companies aiding and abetting the suppression of human rights. Its always happened, IBM helped the Nazi's catalog the Jews. But this is the 21st century. Freedom should be a top priority along with peace. Capitalism has its place, but when its used to destroy the the freedom of others, its just plain sick.
I thought growing up was hard here on earth. Imagine being a rebellious teenager on one of these voyages.
"mommy, how the hell could you leave earth and put us on this god forsaken ship??"
But seriously, the social implications for something like this are very astonishing. And what happens when space debries break through your 300 mile solar sail 300 million light years from earth? I doubt anyone's going to be able to help you.
While I'm glad to see the source is out for download now, it would have been nice to see it a long time ago. It would be really neat if online services shared their code with a "you can look, and play for yourself, but don't try to make money" sort of license. Not only would it improve the service (because of feedback
Could you imagine playing around with google's source code? now that would be badass.

I got forwarded this by one of my buddies at work. At this prices its plain sick that they also want to sell your usage statistics to the SPAMERS. On top of that I've been told that they want every computer on there network using proxy clients in order to connect.
I'm glad sprint just hooked up DSL in my area, I'm switching providers.
According to insiders at Comcast there will be three tiers of service. The current service will be called Silver and it will be 1500/128 for $49.95 plus modem rental. Yes that is true, they are planning on a $10 price increase within the next year after the transition is complete and the merger with AT&T Broadband Internet is finalized. Comcast doesn't want to mess with the rates right now until they get regulatory approval for the merger. But the S.O.P. at AT&T and Comcast is a price increase after a merger. Look at what Cable rates did after the Mediaone transition.
Gold service will be 1500/300 and will allow VPN access and something they are calling priority traffic. This is the old Pro service. The cost will be $99.95. If you are a gamer used to the old MediaOne performance, this Gold level should get you back close to the perf you had with the old system. And yes that means you will be paying double for the same service you had last year.
The new low price option is Bronze. Expected to be 128/64 or maybe 256/128 it should be priced at $29.95. This is the one that is most in the air. I haven't seen a bronze config file yet to see what they are planning.
you should have a log of his cards MAC address. It could take some time but im sure you could track down that MAC address being used from an other location and nab the script kiddie that way.
Any mention of security practices? Are they running any sensitive data through the same infrastructure? With all the news about 802.11 security issues especially at airports this seems to be of utmost priority with all the terrorists running around.
Compare that with 272 min's of 128k rate mp3 recordings. The only real drawback is the $400 pricetag. But then again, we still dont have a price on the Sountainer.
This link summarizes the history of UWB technology. Pretty neat stuff. Apparently they have been experimenting with various impulse based radio/radar signals since the early sixties.
This must be a new, unknown civilization. The Aztecs did not formally settle in Mexico until ~1200 AD, the Mayans florished in the Yucatan around ~150 AD, and the Olmec started out around 1000 AD.
Now my guess is that they have the dates all wrong. There has always been a mystery behind the disappearance of these people. could a previously unknown catastrophic event have caused these people to be wiped out? a lost city at the bottom of the sea seems to point in that direction.
A hub built into a wall switch! That's amazing! At the rate things are going, someone is going to invent a network card that doesn't even NEED cables, and this thing will be obsolete! Maybe it could use RADIO WAVES!
a cashless society would do wonders on combating the black market. everything would be traceable. come to think of it, hell no - imagine having to barter with the nationhood dealer for your dime sack. "gimme 3 quarts and a black n mild"
That completely dose away with the protective purpose of encrypting. If the government knows of a backdoor, joe-q-scriptkiddie wont be far behind. I know that this has been quoted a lot in the recent days but damnit its the truth:

Brings up the downside of googles vast archives. I wouldnt doubt it if he goes back and has that post removed soon.
Did anyone listen to the speech?

Is the money that important to these people?

i wonder if the CLR can handle punch cards?
heh,
.net interpreter can handle punch cards along with the 87 other languages it claims to be able to compile
/me wonders if the

Cool, so next time Kenny gets a ruptured spleen, Dr. Mephisto can just clone him a new one using stem cells. Before the rats cart him off!

20GB hard drive
USB and FireWire ports
MP3, WMA, and WAV support
Upgradeable firmware
MP3 and WAV recording
Scroll wheel
Lithium-ion battery

Anyone find a price for one of these guys? I think I can overcome the 128k rate if the thing is relatively cheap.

you mean looks like microsoft is getting the us to go after targets it can afford to bully.
This must be a new, unknown civilization. The Aztecs did not formally settle in Mexico until ~1200 AD, the Mayans florished in the Yucatan around ~150 AD, and the Olmec started out around 1000 AD.
Take a look at this time line for more info.

or a giant "lazer beam"....
well known vulnerabilities? in other words, if your doing something illegal - go buy a copy of virus scan, or just wipe your drive and install linux
napster actually won a court battle?
Great, now x10 gets to be plastered all over our campus too. This is sick, where are my tax dollars going to?
