    And there's even more money comming for the first couple to concieve and give birth in space!

    On a serious note, I wonder if I'll live to see the first conception on the moon/in space.

    Think F-16s. A stray cargo jet not responding to ATC? Yeah, that's suspicious. Apparently they give escorts to flights into Washington where people just look suspicious, and some flights just because of backgroud info. I don't think they'd hesitate to shoot down a jet full of cargo and dead pilots (because, face it, those pilots more than likely wouldn't have the plane taken alive, right?)

    That isn't TCP's fault, really. It's at the physical layer (light/copper, what have you). If we can find a physical medium that can transport bits faster than c, I think TCP would do just fine.

    To reply to myself (just read more), from this article:

    (notice there's no mention of money...they just want to make their IM system better and more reliable by talking to people who develop software for it...smart idea!)

    Sean Sundwall of Microsoft:
    "It is our expectation that those who use our service with unlicensed or unauthorized third-party clients will likely not be able to log on after October 15," Microsoft spokesperson Sean Sundwall told BetaNews. "We would encourage those third parties to contact us to work out agreements by which they can continue to have their customers access our network." ...
    "We recognized over time that the interconnection between IM providers must be established formally," said Sundwall. "All we're asking is that those third parties work with us more closely."

    If you look at this thread over at the trillian forums, you'd know that MSN IM is simply blocking older versions, but is not blocking 3rd parties. Trillian, for one, should be fine after the 15th. It's just a matter of being on the newer MSN protocol.

    Palladium is not/never was "Windows Security." It is DRM, which is a whole different (and less desirable) beast. DRM will not keep W32.Blaster off your machine. Nor will it keep your comptuer from crashing.

  23. Re:"An Universe"? on The Death of A Universe · · Score: 1

    The reason you don't write "it's" for possessive is because "it's" means "it is."

    Also, it isn't the only word that has a possessive with no apostrophe. Think of other pronouns, such as ours, theirs, hers. You don't write our's or her's, do you?

    To be most technical, every (I think every) personal pronoun has a possessive case, and these never have apostrophes. Those only apply when you want to make a noun possesive ("it" is not a noun).

    Female, 3rd Person:
    Subjective = she
    Objective = her
    Possessive = hers

    Neuter, 3rd person:
    Subjective, objective = it
    Possesive = its

    When you think of it as a pronoun, it makes more sense!
