Well, then what you need is to create something like a "defense only" corps, and let the people who enlist to it only work in national ground(or sea/air).
Well, then there are game mods, like Infiltration for UT, that also work like that, and try to create a very real game(and no, Counterstrike is not real), and lots of people love it.
I have different folders on my desktop, with files classified by general interest themes(html,linux,starcraft,rendering,roleplaying,...). when a file has to be under more than one of these i put it in one and make links on the others, i've remover "my files" from my desktop, and whenever an interest theme no longer is interesting(i don't do anything on it since too long) i zip it and put it on c:\my files.
If my desktop is too cluttered, it's time to move things to "c:\my files".
Firstly i want to say that i mourn the death of all the people killed yesterday, and i want to make clear i don't think that terrorist acts like that one are justified. However, i want to place this incident in the light of the current international situation.
Many months ago, when yugoslavia was being bombed, there was a lot of talk in the media and here on./ about "easy" wars for the usa, where they only had to spend some money on missiles, and not any human lives(that is, american human lives). That was absolute nonsense, and now it shows.
First, i want to tell those people that reclaim vengeance--"those who did it will have to pay for it"-- that the people who did it are already dead, they killed themselves willingly to strike hard on the USA. That is easily said, but you have to stop and think what kind of background a person like this one has, surely not a happy one with family and friends and material life assured, his life must have been very painful. Now I'm not telling you "poor terrorists, they had a very bad childhood", my poin is, where can you find people desperated like this, in great quantities(i think 20 is a great cuantity, for items like this)?
In wars. Wars destroy the lifes of many people, killing friends, family, and destroying all that one loves, and leave people that has no purpose nor will to live, aside for venjeance, and USA has been waging wars in many countries on the world, be it lightning "surgical" operations, bombings, invasions, or comercial blockades(this is the worst slower way of killing nations, IMO). ANd have created a lot of people like this. Now one of these individuals alone may be incapable of doing anything by himself, but when he finds others like him, and organizes, he is the worst enemy, for he has nothing to lose.
As I said first, there are no wars without risks, even when you are so tecnically superior that you're confident not even one of your soldiers will die battle, you are creating desperate people with thirst of vengeance, and what happened yesterday was something that while it could be seen clearly coming, hubris has veiled it until it happened. Now, there are dead civilians, american civilians, killed in a counterattack(who did it? dunno, too many enemies made during too many years...), still a mote in the millions USA has killed in other countries, but enough to show that there no are risk-free wars.
Well i always found that my low tolerance for caffeine is a good thing, when i need to be awake(exams,parties,whatever) i can usually manage to be awake 3 days, drinking 2 or 3 cofees a day.
One time i pulled even 6 days, but the sixth day i was having too much sleep-deprivation related problems to enjoy it(getting paranoid, seeing things,NOT seeing things,being a bit jerky,...).
I never make it an habit and only use it when i have a purpose for it, and the rest of the time i don't take any caffeine to keep my tolerance low.
Only because it's a heavy metal it's enough reason not to drop it around, or the land where it falls will be poisoned, and it will be absorbes by plants and later by animals, and eventually by the humans that eat them.
The obvious solution is th have a DSL/Cable modem/whatever with a counter, so you can always see how much troughput have you used since last bill. Maybe instead of that there could be a special bridge for the LAN that would do this function, one you could program to shut the conection if certain threshold is surpassed(some program doing something while you sleep.
It would be no different from the other utilities, only you have to think what happens if you don't live alone(kids use too much phone, someone spends 5 hours taking a shower, someone leaves the fridge door open...). There are already meters for all of the above, so one for bandwidth isn't so strange.
The web pages that you use to send SMS messages have to pay a fee to the telco to send them, and usually they recover that cost with banners or a subscription system or whatever, so, in principle, if you wanted a program to send SMS you would have to pay a company for proxying that message to the phone network.
I say in princple because there are programs(well, at least there is one i know) that connect to these public SMS senders and use them to send your messages, so you don't have to put up with banners, or using a bloated browser. Of course, that, while being legal, isn't very welcome by the portals that offer the SMS messaging service, that change the forms used to send it every now and then, fortunately the program has an update feature and uses various servers, so you can send SMS all the time.
The program is written primarily for spanish users, but it can send to international numbers too(Well at least it works for civilized places--places with GSM network). I'm sure there are programs of this kind out there, so search Google.
Well, if he really wants to use GPLed software on his closed source products, he can always try to contact the copyright holders and ask them to make a special license for him(of course, after some money changes hands).
Of course, that would mean he has to pay for something everyone else gets for free, but, then, he can surely build something so... innovative over that dual licensed code, that everybody will prefer to pay him, rather than use some code so bad that the autors don't even ask money for it!
(Idiot Moderators: Yes, this is sarcasm. Don't fuck with my karma)
And my point was that you replied in the same moronic fashion. Text doesn't let me see the sarcasm, all i can see on your original post is a silly answer
(BTW: Lots of things change in 25 years. IMO it is enough time so talking about it in this thread, judging by the root post) And trying to use my supposedly short age as an argument isn't fair discussion.(FYI I'm 20)
2 weeks ago in Valencia(Spain) we were at 34C at shadow. I fear the arrival of June. Inside the city when there is a heat wave, it has get sometimes to 44C. And Valencia isn't one of the hottest places in Spain(nor the coldest).
Siesta is so popular because in these hours comes the maximum heat moment. It's not that we're "lazy", simply, we get up earlier, when it's still cool, work, and when it gets too hot, we stop. Then, at the evening, when it's cool again, back to work.
I don't use mozilla, and haven't paid much attention to it's development, however, i followed the link to Mozillaquest and found something that triggered my curiosity, on the tree management diagrams:

The problem is, when someone savvy enough finds some content protected with this scheme that he wants to copy, he hakcs it, and makes a program that even grandma can use to copy the restricted content. Back to the drawing board.
A fast solution would be that the company changed the encription scheme every few days, but this doesn't hold, because while new content may be protected for some time, old content will have working hacks for it.
So maybe this scheme will stop the distribution of content that nobody is interested in (duh), but if the content is good, it will be cracked.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but what if the vaporized debris or some piece of rock or whatever stick to the mirror? that would render it non-reflective and then it would burn up very fast; Maybe there is a way to keep it clean, i don't know, someone enlighten me!
The expected storage density is around 10GBcm-, so it would be possible to pack aprox. 164GB of data in a cubic inch; Pretty good, tough current HD tecnology will probably reach that density before holo storage is ready for commercial use(of course, the 10GBcm- number will probably raise as research continues).
The really good thing about it is its speed: Laser beams can move without inertia, using acoustoptical materials which change its refraction angle acording to vibrations; That makes posible access times to a random point in no more than 100 microseconds, and data transmission rates around 1-2GBs-, which are several orders of magnitude faster than any HD that is even projected.
This may not be true, Microsoft is well aware that Linux has a lot of possibilities to take a big piece of the OS share, and, while trying to counter it with it's usual tactics(FUD, Embrace extend extinguish...) it is also securing its position in the long run:
Microsoft market strategy is based on its monopoly on the windows OS.
If for some reason microsoft lost it's monopoly(or its "market leadreship", what a cute euphemism) on the OS, all it's structure would surely crumble, because it relies heavily on the lock-in it has on it's users.
If Microsoft sees this, his most logical move would be start making useful, reliable products, so when it's monopoly fails, it will at least have some other forms of revenue.
Now that i think on it, maybe that's the reason W2K is actually nice...

Just give it a try.
Because it looks very much like a demoscene party.
Nope, the MOTD says "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes. -- Dr. Warren Jackson, Director, UTCS"
If my desktop is too cluttered, it's time to move things to "c:\my files".
Hope this helps.
