And what I was saying is that standard of living changes depending on location. I expect a lower salary for the same job if its moved from Bay Area to Nebraska, because the cost of living is so much lower. You can live in Nebraska on $40k as well as you can live in Bay Area on $60k.
If its any comfort, even though this is true, Silicon Valley still exists.
In India, your mortgage would not be $1,276. It would be more on the order of $76.
Remember that, as th article said, you can eat well (full course meal) for $0.50, or at the nicest restaurant in Bombay for a bit over $2. Keep it all in perspective and move to India. Your children will thank you for it when they grow up well-off in addition to smart, disciplined, and un-american.
Well, in this case, my prefered option would be long draw-out and inventive torture of the board and associated lackeys followed by a nuclear stike on SCO's HQ, but that's only because I love them so much.

We have an early model of the Itanium ( given to us free by HP;-).
The beast has a 220V power line coming into it, and we've decided that the reason its so heavy is that if it was lighter, the fans would propel it across the room like a jet engine.
Actually, for the record, it *IS* legal to possess a set of lockpicks in CA without being a registered locksmith as long as you clearly state that your intent is not illegal ( "recreational" use, for example, is alright ).
Of course, what you're willing to call legal or not is your own problem.
While I'm personally of the opinion that the level of comments that's acceptable depends a lot on the purpose of the application and the number of people working on the project, a friend of mine learned a very good ( if slightly anal retentive ) coding style from reading angband source code.
Maybe not for everyone, but you may want to try it.
I enjoyed how the article specifically said that the 'F' stands for "fast" , not "fink".
Looks like they know exactly what type or PR they're getting, and they like it.. Maybe they got the idea from all of the drug enforcers who wear "N" for "Noteworthy citizen" instead of..:-)
When they say "wreak havoc" on terrestrial life I wonder what the extent really could have been.. ( more data! )
If there was a mass irradiation, it might give some more explanation to the mass extinction that happened at the end of the Devonian period that basically cleaned out most of the diverse sea-life ( there wasn't much on land those days ) Of course, someone please tell me if I have my time-periods wrong, I'm no geologist..
After all of the people recently complaining about the possiblity that previously open sourced software might have to succumb to the relentless tide of capitalism, I find it somewhat confusing that they are willing to find fault with KDE.
Right now, KDE looks to be the best hope for Linux to enter mainstream as a desktop OS. A VERY major portion of the impetus for users to not change is a lack of familiarity with the desktop. They don't care how it works, or what it does. They need their computer screen to be familiar to them the first time they experience their new OS. Once they're comfortable with it, they might abandon the "Windows look", but until then it will get users.
KDE could probably use not criticsism, but instead help from able computer scientists who want to see the open source movement triumph
As far as dubbing vs. subbing goes, I think there is also some consideration for the fact that Cartoon Network is a kid's station. Like, my 5-year old cousin watches Outlaw Star. Granted she doesn't understand much as is, but she'd understand a whole lot less if she had to read subtitles.
I personally don't like dubbing (part of the reason I went and learned some Japanese..) , but I'm also not going to be the one buying lunchboxes and action figures.
Their market really is the kids.
A discriminatory short-sighted campaign that goes by the title of WaSP, what a new concept (ok, not a direct parallel but still part of the campaign title and one of the first phrases on their web-site.
Though actually.. As long as they provide a decent text or text/minimal graphics alternative I don't think there would be anything wrong with a browser requirement. Of course, this is all nil since in the end it will be the market that dictates the type of web-content that will become a standard.
Of course, then there are gals like me who like lynx:)... I'm used to not seeing ani-gifs; I like it.
In the words of a famous capitalist: "The people be damned".
Oh wait, thats right.. you're arguing for the "masses" the "common people" as you say.
You want something good to exist ( The Web in addition to the Open Source Movement ) yet claim that your people ( I'm assuming that you consider yourself to be part of this mass; If I err, my apologies. ) are unable to appreciate its beauty unless it is a capitalistic and therefore completely useless entity::ducks as she is smitten by Ayn Rand's ghost::.
Yes, I prefer an internet that those to lazy to not learn will not understand to one where quote:
an internet where profitability and the almighty dollar rule supreme, and where individual voices are drowned out by the noise.
And on a side note, on the very small probability that the masses grow tired of the internet and it "devolves" into again being the domain of geeks, what in hell gives you the idea that it will die as a result? I am 18 years old. I know many geeks younger and I doubt that the following years are going to see the expontential decline in the number of new geeks being created that you brazenly predict by forecasting the internet's (and yes, I'm using the real definition of internet year.. you yourself said that I'm not one of the masses and thus by your assertion I'm obligated to not use the commericial/commonplace equivalence between WWW and internet) death in 20 years.
I am sorry sir, I think the geeks will be fine either way.
Hmm... All these people are sitting here speaking of the free ideal utopic society where no person (using the legal definition of corporations represented as individuals, which is a completely different rant) has undue benefit over another based on effervescent qualities such as wealth or connections to people in power.
Where do all of you live? Please tell me, I will come join you.
Seriously though, yes, ideally the phone companies can only charge for the ISP's use of the phone, and the ISP can not be charged extra because it too is a "person", but in the modern world a greedier form of capitalism supercedes laws and morality.
Hmm... I could do with some more details on the page, but overall this looks very very cool.
Hopefully the price of the DVD media isn't completely unreasonable. Hmm.. this could also make Napster irrelevant: Start filling these disks up with music and there would no longer be any need to share files instead of just adding onto and mailing diskfulls.
Sir, has it ever occured to you that there are likel to be a statistically very high percentage of atheists / neo-pagan / wiccan.. etc people on/. ?
You seem like the type who agrees with Bush and people like you who are willing to brush people off as "too small of a minority" shall be the downfall of us all.

Hmm.. even though the article claims that its the Sony Playstation not the PS2 that this device will be able to play, its still mighty illegal in most places.
The people behind it probably know that, and they've found the perfect market: Instead of the super-tech-savvy Japanese who A: wouldn't buy it because the extra features aren't really worth the extra money and B: Sony would slam them down oh so fast, they hit the Chinese, a bunch of people who in general are more likely to appreciate the product and MUCH less likely to cause a legal fiasco.
Hmm.. interesting how so many online gambling sites exist that not only serve but seem to attract US patrons..
And also, has anyone noticed that this is Nevada they're talking about here? Isn't this the state where the primary airport has unsupervised slot machines at every terminal??

This person patents uutilization of individual consciousness.
Support for such as has here been described follows:
- Patenter has proven beyond doubt that they have spent an entire lifetime developing claimed individual consciousness.
- Patenter has proved that individual consciousness is not an universal concept, as it is the primary function of several major philosophies and religions to assist a person in achieving something close to what will now be the official individual consciousness.

This technology will probably have many interesting and innovative uses, but will ultimately fail to replace the paperback.
Reasons:
* Books are readable in bright light with very little eye-strain. LCDs aren't.
* You don't have to worry about the batteries dying when you are at a particularly engrossing section.
* Many e-book vendors have crippling levels of copy-protection.
* Books are cheap: dropping a book into the bathtub is annoying, but its not going to put you out a few hundred dollars.
That said, I think this is neat as a note-book (think spiral) replacement for students: especially if they implement a graffiti - type input system.
