It's not uncommon for Tire stores to hang on to some tires that still had some good tread on them, as a result of a customer saying replace all my tires, even when all four don't really need replacing.
Sooo, when it comes to tracking.....kinda pointless
This place we call earth is what all the universe revolves around.
The earth is flat, just look at any picture of it, it's round but it's flat. You can fall off.
And everybody knows programmers are psuedo god helpers, specifically MS programmers.... and this is the damn second time I've typed this cause fu&in psuedo god decided it wanted to take my browser to some damn windows media player error page in the middle of typing this. And I wasn't even using the fu&in media player.
Wanna know if there are UFO? ask psuedo god what he thought that pie was before it hit him.
Correction... not $780 billion but 396.1 Billion The $780 billion is from What the World Wants and how much it cost in comparison to 1995/96 total world military budget.... Meaning the US alone can probably fix the problems for less.... removing all reason for any terrorist group to get any support from anyone..... leaving the bin ladens all by themselves.
US Military Budget this year is something like $780 billion US dollars. The ten year tax reduction plan Bush is babeling about is $670 billion over a ten year period.... In other words we are being given a tax break that is less then ten percent of the US military Budget, this year alone.
Now where is the government getting all that money from?
As to taxing the sale of products reguardless of what state the company and consumers are, via mail order (internet is just a means of communication) some companies (few) do it in a manner that the state the consumer is in determines what the tax is and also gets the money.
"Microsoft Threatens Slashdot In spring 2000, Microsoft invoked the DMCA against the Internet publication forum Slashdot, demanding that forum moderators delete materials relating to Microsoft's proprietary implementation of an open security standard known as Kerberos......"
Now we know why Slashdot has soooooo many MS ads now a days....
What's changed? Well for one we have what is thought to be a pro/con linux oriented forum infected by MS ads... and even some degree of poster pro support of MS.
Let's not all forget MS is in fact a Federal Criminal that really hasn't been punished. Or maybe th estatement being made is that you can break the law, just make sure you benefit more than the fine that will be placed against you, so as that you still come out ahead.
Those who create computers and the software have no interest in providing tools that allow people to do things for themselves. This is very deeply ingrained in the concept of making people need you. Never teach them to fish and feed themselves, but instead sell them an easy copy of fish you create and lead them to believe they need to return the next day for another meal.
It's inherit to understand the results of the study.... inherent in the intent by which computer products are produced and sold.
This process has extended now with the adoption of software patents.....
So all this really does make the simple pencil a more useful tool to use in learning than high tech over invented.... constraints....
make a worthwhile shell. It's why MS has what must be one of the worse shells ever. Or is iut because MS wants to keep the users to stupid to take advantage of all the holes.....in windows?
To have a team of lawyers looking for loopholes and ways to manipulate the law is by some viewed as competition. Others view it as cheating the intent of the law.
"ASCI Purple, which will be built first and used to simulate nuclear tests, will be able to complete 100 thousand billion calculations per second -- a speed known as 100 teraflops that some scientists say is comparable to the human brain."
"Blue Gene/L will be able to map stars in three dimensions, analyse earthquakes, and help in oil exploration."
One example of the flaw - "Level 3: Predictive The system monitors and correlates data to recognize patterns and recommends actions that are approved and initiated by the IT staff. This reduces the dependency on deep skills and enables faster and better decision-making."
Now how is the IT staff to really understand the solution direction given by the system, unless they have a deep understanding of the problems and solution direction?
If they do not have such an understanding then how are they to approve and initiate such a solution direction?
If it is the human desire to build a machine that needs humans less and less the machine will figure out a way to help that process.
IS the computer industry that short sighted, to not see that? YES! Y2K!
Of course what IBM is really doing is playing with theory and trying to make that theory work. It doesn't mean they will be successful, even with the open invitation for all to help (OSS and GPL).
It just means they are trying. It should also be noted that IBM is the top new Patent holder, year after year. Help them solve a problem and they will patent it for their control.
Today, anyone with enough money can build the biggest and fastest, etc.. computer system........ But what it really comes down to is "Why?" what is it's intended use?
The music industry spends alot of money on promotion of bands that have yet to prove themselves. This results in less return for artist unless they hit it really big. The money lost has to come from somewhere.
There may be alot of "just can't cut it" talent but as someone who grew up helping band, watching many come and go as breakup and get together happens, not to mention open jam sessions and night club curcuit bands, there is those times when the right combination of talent, equiptment,.... click happens that I wish I had on record.
Sooo To reduce record industry cost and lost to failures, while increasing returns to artist that do generate worthwhile returns, instead of subsidizing the failures....
We have the internet to help artist and groups establish their success or failure prior to record industry signings.
If you hit a high enough level of success and popularity on the internet then as an artist or group you would have a bit more barganing power with the competition to sign you.... Like sports?
While on the record industry side, this prequalification for success will reduce cost of loses.
And we who listen... we get to hear alot of.... well how about a rating system like slashdot or even better, simpler.... flash your rack perhaps instead called "Sound Your Tune"
It is not so uncommon for someone to look at something and think nothing of it, forget it, then sometime later remember it but in terms of it being some idea they came up with. Forgetting where they first saw it.
It is called Innocent Plagerism. And although it is still wrong, this common human error of doing such, especially when you are probably seeing a number of such ideas and script or treatments, is taken into consideration. It may not stop restitution but can help draw the line between criminal intent and innocent error. And that can mean alot to the one in error, such as respect,...
One of the methods of copyright takes such possibilities into consideration. Thru the writers guild you can copyright such work and it is filed away without anybody seeing the content. The only way to bring it out as proof is by court order. This helps to serve establishing ownership prior to anyone seeing the work.
Note the apparent lack of such a mechanism in regards to the Patent office. Something about timeline of what is done and published and the amount of potential time another has to come along and claim a patent to it. Of course there is the fundamental issue of inventor/authorship of patent subject matter.
Oh wait, the application of copyright methods can address that problem, in regards to proving inventorship/authorship/etc..
Before the beginning, there was less than nothing, not even existance existed for there to be anything to exist in. And it was that way for an eternity of eternities of even beyond eternities.
But then something happened smaller than you can know, even smaller than that.
The void became aware of itself and at that very same moment, the void split into the potential for all things. Existance and the observation, awareness of the potential. The essence of physics and nature. Existance and what can be done within it, experienced.
Suddenly existance was, and so was consciousness, the split of less than nothing.
What to do next? Survive! It's certainly better than less than nothing. It is More!
That ment expanding, creating stuff in existance.....it started out very very slow, taking almost an eternity to make the first interaction happen, time was a very difficult thing to create, but in time the momentem would built up to increase the creation of what all is existing in existance. Of course this too goes on for what seems to be now at least a measureable eternity.
Eventually, the odds of cycling thru all possibilities on what existed in existance a spark of life would be found, and the awareness became aware of another perspective, one within existance. A very small and limited awareness that was, at that moment, understood to be a way to forever increase the experience ability of what all exist in existance... to forever increase the rate and complexity of creation and experience.
And forever beyond eternity the expansion happens, and at all moments, the all of existance, what is in it and it's awareness, is fully aware of itself. Realizing there is nothing at all, not even existance, outside of itself. So to survive, to exist, it forever expands and has been doing this for a long long time.
etc.....
But what of us, mankind? What's our part?
Well besides the obvious being that we are like sensors, cameras, recorders, communication senders, witnesses of the experience of what existance presents us, we are also intended to assist in the expansion of existance and what exist in it.
A matter of survival, you understand. However, we were not given a full set of the perceptions of all things, for we are within what exist in existance, and therefore inherently limited in our perception. But being given the ability to create, we are given the ability to overcome these limitations. And we are not alone, far from it.
To follow the rest, requires a break, a look back at our history, mans history, our evolution, our creation, and realize how far we have come, while projecting where we will go in our future based upon the path of our past.
At some point in the future, maybe not so distant, we will come to understand physics and nature so well that we can travel to the edge of existance or go out into our back yard and cause a big bang to happen out of nothing more than less than nothing. Perhaps take a gravity unit aand collaspe it in a non-balanced manner and ccause a boom before you know it, causing the all of existance to expand.
Now lets say we don't do it in our back yard, that we have the knowledge to do it on the borders of existance...boom...we create a new and unique galaxy or galaxies. And we know that it will prove fruitful, that some place in all of it we will be able to help iniate the evolution of life again. And we know that just as our history has shown us, we can help that life become conscious so to also contribute to the expansion of existance and what exist in it.
When is existance big enough? The answer is not what you might think. For that's not the real question to explain the expanding result. For the answer is, expansion is the indicator of growth, life, assurance of continuation. As soon as expansion stops or reverses, you get the indication of stagnation, enthropy, shrinkage, death. It's not a matter of what is, but a matter of which direction you are going.
There was a time in mans evolution, not unlike the evolution of other life forms thru out existance, that man was without abstract thoughts, like a bird that somehow knows to fly south for the winter yet can travel back to where they were born in the spring. Or a crab that knows to go to higher ground when a serious storm is approaching.... When Man was without guilt, for he had not the ability to know the abstraction of man made guilt.
Man was even able to create societies without the need for abstract thought. No guilt, no crime, just existing like a herd of sheep, aware of the harshness of life and the value of sticking together in a heard.
But as the size of the societies man created, grew, so did the complexity of functioning productively in society. Society began to break down, for what amounts to the benefits of society, better protection against the harshness of the wild resulted in increased population. And that increase in population cause an increase in complexity beyond the non-abstract communication or languages that were able to evolve without, or prior to, the invention of higher level abstractions.
One example of this breakdown has been told in the story of the tower of babel. The building of a tower to reach heaven, for all the benefits and values of working together lead them to believe, finally salvation. But it was not yet to be, for seasons we could not see at the time. This event is said to be what resulted in the different cultures and peoples of this world. Or perhaps this sort of event happened in different ways thru different cultures and places at different times, perhaps more than once thruout the world before it finally reached stability of difference.
The splitting and dividing resulting from the permature effort to reach the whole. As it was in the beginning before the beginning. Expansion providing the endless quest for the answer. It's the question that drives us..... what is the whole. And the only way to get there, is to continuing expanding the awareness, the consciousness and it's ability to comprehend the whole. And when you finally get there, you'll know, it's all about survival. The need to expand as an indicator, knowing. For to know and be content, do nothing, is to revert to less than nothing where what all there is, is obviously nothing to be aware of.
There was a time when we did not know guilt, but sociey caused us a need to invent higher level abstraction in order to survive and manage greaters levels of society, and greater benefits of. Certainly the invention was well intended, but as many well intending things become, abuseable, abstraction at such higher levels also leads to the discovery of deception.
Certainly before this, a man knew he existed "I am" as his heart raced and he ran as fast as he could to get away from the hungry tiger. But he did not murder his brother or take his own life, rather only hunted and ate what they killed or found growing in the land and sea.
But we were intended to evolve beyond such limitations and as such, knowing the creatures we were intended to be, those who planted our seeds of life...creating us, knew what to expect of our evolution. Just as we will know what to expect of the evolution of any life we create within a galaxy we create, Even today we are playing around with creating new and unique life, life beyond the natural creation process. Life created thru the communication of higher level abstractions. Inventions that such abstractions have allowed us to understand, create, and communicate greater awareness of reality and power over it. Even here we are able to alter our own life form, improve upon it, even give ourselves, the future of mankind, better and new perception abilities. Who knows, perhaps one day soon, we that are alive will naturally "see" energy we today are not so aware of. Or have the sences to apply mental telapathy in an every day use manner, as our language today is so very limited and time consuming to use.
But one step at a time. And again as our population grows and our technology re-enables the combining of our languages that once separated us....... well...... the question will be.... Why are we fighting? And we will realize what has already begun being realized, that it is the intentional wrongful manipulaion of abstractions that are the source of the problems. And that such deceptions are being done by a very small minority who had found it was easier to take unearned value from others for themselves rather than to help produce it and share it, all thru deceptions applied.
Outside looking in, it is understood that this deception phase of mans evolution was not only expected to happen but will reach it's ultimate limitation. And that the only way to continue the expansion of existance and what exist in it is to overcome the problem of deception, to become master over the beast of deception and it's bottomless endless pit of possible deceptions.666.... (2/3rds) what is, mixed with.333... (1/3) of what is not (what is distortion of what is), or maybe I have that backassward. Never the less, yes, that does only amount to.999.... (repeating decimal). carried all the way out in split infinity....... What is it that makes the smaller than small, and smaller than that, difference? What it is that drives survival? That allows us to know the whole when it is otherwise impossible to see, due our inherent subjectiveness within existance? Love!
Will we again become ignorant of guilt, deception, revert to a lower level of communication and live in far more limited ways NO! We have tried that already! And we know that it only would mean we'd just have to go thru it all again. And to really do it, It'd also mean that we would have make serious reduction in population either from a huge man made disaster, serious nuclear (sp?) war.... or something we'd consider natural and beyond our ability to control, like an asteroid. To reduce the go forth and multiply force of population and the complexity and problems population forces us to solve, like higher level abstraction creation.
Next step, move beyond deception.... and if we don't....
From the outside looking in, which would take longer to recover from? And if you were a farmer with such a problem with your crop, that you could either let it follow a natural course of self distruction or your own control over it's distruction that you'd then likely have greater control over it's recovery...replanting.....etc.?
If you can never know the whole, due to inherent subjectivity of being within existance, how can you be without error?
Be a generator of that smallest of difference, what is smaller than even that.
2/3 what is + 1/3 of what can be and a touch of love = expansion. It is the equasion that converts.999... into 1.0... the knowing of the whole without seeing it.
Nobody can tell you what it is. You have to see it for yourself, the deceptions, the doubts. But love....that is somehing you know. You just know. There is no decpetions, not doubts, just the certainty of knowing.
We will go beyond the limitations of the use of deceptions. Or we will be distroyed to make room for another crop.
The signs say it's time......
What's interesting, is what it means to become aware of the deceptions, so that deceptions can be seen for what they are and then deflated in vlaue to the nothingness they are. To see the code of the matrix and defeat the wrongful taking of unearned value, to defeat deception.
How many commenting would have never noticed any delay had they not read it here?
Regardless of any negativity being expressed here towards the efforts of the Hurd Developers or the goal, this is a project that needs to be done.
I have no doubt that had Linux not come along, there would have been more man power and efforts put into the Hurd these past years.
Of course Linux was a distraction for many, yet it was also NOT a distructive distraction. Alot of GNU and GPL software has been developed and put into use. Enough So that, as we all know, MS has taken notice and has even launched a competitive campagin against not just Open Sourse, Linux and GNU, but with a focus on the GPL.
What software there has been made to run on Linux, can and probably already has been ported to run on the Hurd....(except for a few packages that just don't make sence to port as they deal with monolithic kernel issuse that don't exist in the Hurd). The count of software packages ported is in the thousands.
Even the drivers written for Linux are usable on the Hurd.
All of that porting and compatability was/is alot of work for which the Hurd Development team has done. So there has been energies going into alot more than just the hurd core.
Perhaps the really good part of all this is that MS probably doesn't have a clue as to what to expect of developer who will develop applications for the Hurd, to take advantage of the hurd. And it should be understood that the hurd opens the door up a lot more for development innovations.
So what will you have when the Hurd is officially publicly released... production version...??
You will have what appears to be no or very little different than using Linux. On the surface. But under the hood.... It's a more versatile, stable and in sum of.... overall more powerful in ability to bring about advancements.
There are quite a few other OS's being developed today, under the open source idea. And there is nothing about the Hurd that says you cannot attach a personal choice smart user space interface OS to the Hurd. Integrating it to benefit from the security of the Hurd, the GNU number crunching software already written, etc... thru the IPC of the Hurd....
I like the idea of plugging my personal Smart Interface OS into a hurd system for such benefits. A 3" CD, a smart card, or some yet to be developed re-writable device I can take with me.
Shouldn't there be some laws against such attempts and successes at consumer deception?
What's better than SS and OSS?

· Score: 2
A system that is a lot easier for the users to "do it themselves" which pretty much causes the SS and OSS issue to be a moot issue.
Now the Common Language Infrastructure of the ECMA-335 document describes a sum of programming concepts and datatypes integrated in an non-conflicting manner.
Such a thing is very helpful if one is planning on not only developing an auto-coding development environment but something that you would also want shared as far as possible..... before you swoop down and corner the auto-coding market with patented tools.

At some point in the future, maybe not so distant, we will come to understand physics and nature so well that we can travel to the edge of existance or go out into our back yard and cause a big bang to happen out of nothing more than less than nothing. Perhaps take a gravity unit aand collaspe it in a non-balanced manner and ccause a boom before you know it, causing the all of existance to expand.
Now lets say we don't do it in our back yard, that we have the knowledge to do it on the borders of existance...boom...we create a new and unique galaxy or galaxies. And we know that it will prove fruitful, that some place in all of it we will be able to help iniate the evolution of life again. And we know that just as our history has shown us, we can help that life become conscious so to also contribute to the expansion of existance and what exist in it.
When is existance big enough? The answer is not what you might think. For that's not the real question to explain the expanding result. For the answer is, expansion is the indicator of growth, life, assurance of continuation. As soon as expansion stops or reverses, you get the indication of stagnation, enthropy, shrinkage, death. It's not a matter of what is, but a matter of which direction you are going.
There was a time in mans evolution, not unlike the evolution of other life forms thru out existance, that man was without abstract thoughts, like a bird that somehow knows to fly south for the winter yet can travel back to where they were born in the spring. Or a crab that knows to go to higher ground when a serious storm is approaching.... When Man was without guilt, for he had not the ability to know the abstraction of man made guilt.
Man was even able to create societies without the need for abstract thought. No guilt, no crime, just existing like a herd of sheep, aware of the harshness of life and the value of sticking together in a heard.
But as the size of the societies man created, grew, so did the complexity of functioning productively in society. Society began to break down, for what amounts to the benefits of society, better protection against the harshness of the wild resulted in increased population. And that increase in population cause an increase in complexity beyond the non-abstract communication or languages that were able to evolve without, or prior to, the invention of higher level abstractions.
One example of this breakdown has been told in the story of the tower of babel. The building of a tower to reach heaven, for all the benefits and values of working together lead them to believe, finally salvation. But it was not yet to be, for seasons we could not see at the time. This event is said to be what resulted in the different cultures and peoples of this world. Or perhaps this sort of event happened in different ways thru different cultures and places at different times, perhaps more than once thruout the world before it finally reached stability of difference.
The splitting and dividing resulting from the permature effort to reach the whole. As it was in the beginning before the beginning. Expansion providing the endless quest for the answer. It's the question that drives us..... what is the whole. And the only way to get there, is to continuing expanding the awareness, the consciousness and it's ability to comprehend the whole. And when you finally get there, you'll know, it's all about survival. The need to expand as an indicator, knowing. For to know and be content, do nothing, is to revert to less than nothing where what all there is, is obviously nothing to be aware of.
There was a time when we did not know guilt, but sociey caused us a need to invent higher level abstraction in order to survive and manage greaters levels of society, and greater benefits of. Certainly the invention was well intended, but as many well intending things become, abuseable, abstraction at such higher levels also leads to the discovery of deception.
Certainly before this, a man knew he existed "I am" as his heart raced and he ran as fast as he could to get away from the hungry tiger. But he did not murder his brother or take his own life, rather only hunted and ate what they killed or found growing in the land and sea.
But we were intended to evolve beyond such limitations and as such, knowing the creatures we were intended to be, those who planted our seeds of life
But one step at a time. And again as our population grows and our technology re-enables the combining of our languages that once separated us....... well...... the question will be.... Why are we fighting? And we will realize what has already begun being realized, that it is the intentional wrongful manipulaion of abstractions that are the source of the problems. And that such deceptions are being done by a very small minority who had found it was easier to take unearned value from others for themselves rather than to help produce it and share it, all thru deceptions applied.
Outside looking in, it is understood that this deception phase of mans evolution was not only expected to happen but will reach it's ultimate limitation. And that the only way to continue the expansion of existance and what exist in it is to overcome the problem of deception, to become master over the beast of deception and it's bottomless endless pit of possible deceptions
Will we again become ignorant of guilt, deception, revert to a lower level of communication and live in far more limited ways NO! We have tried that already! And we know that it only would mean we'd just have to go thru it all again. And to really do it, It'd also mean that we would have make serious reduction in population either from a huge man made disaster, serious nuclear (sp?) war.... or something we'd consider natural and beyond our ability to control, like an asteroid. To reduce the go forth and multiply force of population and the complexity and problems population forces us to solve, like higher level abstraction creation.
Next step, move beyond deception.... and if we don't....
From the outside looking in, which would take longer to recover from? And if you were a farmer with such a problem with your crop, that you could either let it follow a natural course of self distruction or your own control over it's distruction that you'd then likely have greater control over it's recovery...replanting
If you can never know the whole, due to inherent subjectivity of being within existance, how can you be without error?
Be a generator of that smallest of difference, what is smaller than even that.
2/3 what is + 1/3 of what can be and a touch of love = expansion. It is the equasion that converts
Nobody can tell you what it is. You have to see it for yourself, the deceptions, the doubts. But love....that is somehing you know. You just know. There is no decpetions, not doubts, just the certainty of knowing.
We will go beyond the limitations of the use of deceptions. Or we will be distroyed to make room for another crop.
The signs say it's time......
What's interesting, is what it means to become aware of the deceptions, so that deceptions can be seen for what they are and then deflated in vlaue to the nothingness they are. To see the code of the matrix and defeat the wrongful taking of unearned value, to defeat deception.
To know thyself.
How many commenting would have never noticed any delay had they not read it here?
Regardless of any negativity being expressed here towards the efforts of the Hurd Developers or the goal, this is a project that needs to be done.
I have no doubt that had Linux not come along, there would have been more man power and efforts put into the Hurd these past years.
Of course Linux was a distraction for many, yet it was also NOT a distructive distraction. Alot of GNU and GPL software has been developed and put into use. Enough So that, as we all know, MS has taken notice and has even launched a competitive campagin against not just Open Sourse, Linux and GNU, but with a focus on the GPL.
What software there has been made to run on Linux, can and probably already has been ported to run on the Hurd....(except for a few packages that just don't make sence to port as they deal with monolithic kernel issuse that don't exist in the Hurd). The count of software packages ported is in the thousands.
Even the drivers written for Linux are usable on the Hurd.
All of that porting and compatability was/is alot of work for which the Hurd Development team has done. So there has been energies going into alot more than just the hurd core.
Perhaps the really good part of all this is that MS probably doesn't have a clue as to what to expect of developer who will develop applications for the Hurd, to take advantage of the hurd. And it should be understood that the hurd opens the door up a lot more for development innovations.
So what will you have when the Hurd is officially publicly released... production version...??
You will have what appears to be no or very little different than using Linux. On the surface. But under the hood.... It's a more versatile, stable and in sum of.... overall more powerful in ability to bring about advancements.
There are quite a few other OS's being developed today, under the open source idea. And there is nothing about the Hurd that says you cannot attach a personal choice smart user space interface OS to the Hurd. Integrating it to benefit from the security of the Hurd, the GNU number crunching software already written, etc... thru the IPC of the Hurd....
I like the idea of plugging my personal Smart Interface OS into a hurd system for such benefits. A 3" CD, a smart card, or some yet to be developed re-writable device I can take with me.
Well done! Mod +1
Shouldn't there be some laws against such attempts and successes at consumer deception?
A system that is a lot easier for the users to "do it themselves" which pretty much causes the SS and OSS issue to be a moot issue.
Now the Common Language Infrastructure of the ECMA-335 document describes a sum of programming concepts and datatypes integrated in an non-conflicting manner.
Such a thing is very helpful if one is planning on not only developing an auto-coding development environment but something that you would also want shared as far as possible..... before you swoop down and corner the auto-coding market with patented tools.
If MS can get away with what they have, then Linux can get away with a hell of a lot more.
For ever action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The degree of illegal and unfair action, there is a equal degree of fair and legal action.
When was the last time you read the Declairation of Independance?
Those in the US have a right and duty.... Those outside the US have a US document to use as a model or inspiration.
Is this a hint that the industry has finaly figured out how to get the bugs out of software?
Whatis it about the word "NO" that they don't understand?
