I've been hunting around the Axis site and Wiki, I guess I can assume (sorry Benny Hill) that Axis should work ok with Tomcat 5.xx? Anyone else try it yet?
And I finally got Apache/Tomcat4.127/Axis working double-plus-good++:p
...is that the RIAA and MPAA have lost touch with their markets and artists, and yes, reality. They need to adapt to the changes in technology and society or they will eventually die (albeit with alot of kicking and crying), they don't get it, they are their own PR nightmare.
While at the core their arguements against piracy are valid, unfortunately the reason it is so bad for them is because of the "market-plan" they have set for themselves, which isn't an option anymore, people know what CD's actually cost, people know that the artists see pennies on the dollar, people don't want to line **AA's pockets with their cash anymore....so if **AA's profits are down, you're cutting into their "lifestyle" so whats another way to produce revenue? Lawsuits settlements!
They're saying,one way or another, they will get your money from you whether you like it or not. Time for them to re-assess their plans.
....but RFID-enabled humans are bit harder to tamper with.
Ummmmm.....yeah, REAL hard for traditional thieves if you don't have a knife
And how long until they can stand in a theatre lobby, say, with a handheld scanner, screening for the "high-rollers", ready to call upon the aforementioned thugs to roll the targets for their tags? No more guessing how much money is in the targets wallet, only go for the sure-bets
......wake a heavily hungover Ted(Neo) who had a cellphone left on buzzing in his ear and a black hefty bag wrapped around himself. "Whoa! What a dream dudes!RRRUFUUUUSSSSS!" *Air-Guitar motion*
It's not costing Microsoft jack, because that $40-50 million never existed. If you could have never had the money in the first place, then it's not costing you anything.
Exactly, this is indentical to the RIAA/MPAA's cries of "piracy is costing us $$$$xxxxx a year!!!!!!" which is based on the assumption that those people that pirated were ever going to pay in the first place which they weren't. No money lost, just perceived losses.
I dunno just asking, I'd like to think that a big player like AOL knows all the dirty tricks to cover themselves legally before pulling stunts like that. They've been around a bit and this move is just too sloppy IMHO

The End of the Oil Age
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
n the U.S., we have significant reserves and production capacity.
Domestic oil production has been steadily declining since 1970. U.S. petroleum production is expected to remain virtually unchanged (9.03 million barrels per day in 2000 to 9.95 million barrels per day in 2020) over the next two decades, but oil consumption in the United States is expected to rise from 19.7 million barrels per day in 2000 to 26.7 million barrels per day in 2020, a 35% increase (EIA Annual Energy Outlook 2002, Tables A21 and A11).
There's plenty of oil out there. Sure you would think so....again from our friends at Dept of Energy,(same link as above)
In 2000, the Persian Gulf supplied 12.4% of U.S. oil consumption; by 2020 it will supply 15.5% (EIA Annual Energy Outlook 2002, Table 107). This region will continue to increase its influence in world oil markets, as oil supplies in other regions are exhausted, because over half the world's known oil reserves are concentrated in the Persian Gulf (EIA International Energy Annual 1999, Table 8.1).
Several factors are contributing to America's increasing vulnerability.
Oil and oil production facilities are concentrated in the Persian Gulf region. In addition, the Persian Gulf's share of worldwide petroleum exports is projected to grow from 45% in 2000 to 60% by 2020 (EIA Annual Energy Outlook 2002). At these levels, a supply disruption from this one region would have an immediate impact on oil supplies and prices worldwide.
Sounds like in the near future the Mideast "influence" on worldwide oil will increase. At least based on what or agencies have to say about it.
That's why you're seeing a conscious effort to diversify America's oil imports. South America is a huge and growing source, as is Africa and Russia. While Saudi Arabia is still the biggest player in the game, they are not as dominant as they once were.
Good point, but let's not lose sight of our "black-gold" waiting to be tapped in Alaska:|
Let me flip it on you also, wait until the middle east has had it with our shit, and witholds their oil, that would be a complete disaster as well. There would be a unapologetic, no fluff war-for-oil then. The middle East has us by the short and curlies as far as oil goes.
It can be done, hell there's cars that can run off of used cooking grease(well, oil, vegetable oil). But the same old problem comes up, it's too big of an industry, with too many "power" people involved making their fortunes from it. Just like tobacco and the hellish medical insurance industry here in the US.They would not, and have not, taken the phase out of crude oil sitting down.
"I can't believe this happened," Kaneko said. "We've been working for UC for 20 years, and nothing like this has ever happened before."
Yeah, because your orginization didn't jump on the cheap-labor-train before.
Hell, if you send sensitive data overseas to a extremely low paid transcriber, are you really surprised? Especially when you stiff them for their paltry $500 pay. LOL, was the cheap labor worth it now?
X10 is all hot and bothered for Advertisement Banners.com's ad delivery product, goes into contract with Advertisement Banners.com...uses their product to death and then refuses to pay near $500,000 in bills.
I don't see how the ruling in the brothers favor is idiocy. The only idiocy is in X10's IT staff who couldn't hack up their own.
Slashdot Mirror
For quoting Go-Bots cartoon, yes! :D
Cheap Transformers knock-offs! hurmmmmph!
Good reading! Thanks! LOL
Nice sig, wheres that from, is there still a link?
How about some nice Sega and Nintendo papercraft?!?
News for Nerds...hurpmph!
And I finally got Apache/Tomcat4.127/Axis working double-plus-good++ :p
Properly? Thats relative... Fully, not as of yet....but its getting there

yipes dude, now your going back to what the 3.xx series of Novell? Thats even more obscure to a large part of /.'s readership LOL
will Novell make their SuSE distro contain the infamous PHASERS.WAV and the FIRE PHASERS as part of the login?
Exactly, this is indentical to the RIAA/MPAA's cries of "piracy is costing us $$$$xxxxx a year!!!!!!" which is based on the assumption that those people that pirated were ever going to pay in the first place which they weren't. No money lost, just perceived losses.
What do they base this perception or opinion on? Actual roll-up-your-sleeves analysis or the "features list" on their distro's box? Its kinda vague.
LOL yeah Burns!

7 1/2 weeks worth of reserve is alot? a hair under 2 months?
As far as domestic production goes

Hahaha the shooting themselves in the foot one is good!
I would like to have it changed to an overhead image of the caldera logo spiraling mid-flush in a dirty toilet. Thats where they are headed

you don't expect the editors to read the article do you?
I'll second that *sigh*
