To me it feels like Michael Moore is saying, part of the blame goes to the media companies, that love to show news about shooting deaths, armed-robbery, commited by, adult black males. Then in the middle of the news you have ads. The corporations wants to keep us stuck to our TVs, and then sell us their products, they want to keep us afraid, and consuming.
Frankly, I just found Greg Palast's site and I'm disillusioned at how the world is actually run: Bush a just middle manager working for the big corporations of the world, where the CEOs try to extract profit from, not only single customers, but whole countries and governments at the same time. And the media companies, news sources? They're just the PR department of this "corporation", all working together lying to us. Read especially his take on Globalization.
The sad thing is, it looks like the corporations are winning. Or is that what their PR department wants us to believe?
If the sofware is open source, you can translate it yourself -- and likely have working, native language software faster than a closed-source solution.
You bring an interesting point, I wonder if the Norwegians set a deadline for MS, otherwise they can be waiting for a long time for their version of Office ("It'll be finished next year, promise!").

I see you're not convinced. Oh well, I'll believe what I believe in, you can believe in what you believe in, maybe someday we'll see something that will prove or disprove our beliefs, but in the mean time, I won't try to convince you otherwise.
Happy new year!

Heh, you have never seen Tai Chi in fast forward. Move your hands forwards and upwards, that blocks the punch and forces the arm of the opponent upwards. One hand stays in front, the other pulls back towards the body. That hand just grabbed the attackers hand, and pulling him down as the other hand smacks him in the face.
It's all about taking the bad guy's force and using it against himself.
No, that's the wrong guess. The correct guess would be that you can't read properly. He never mentioned washing his father's car, only touching it. One year olds are certainly allowed to touch their father's car, aren't they?
Care to share some links? I'm also curious, before reading the article I didn't realise the place is still boiling with radioactivity, now I want to find out more. No insult, but you seem to have only quoted the article.
I have nothing against learning and growing, what I hate are people who don't read the documentation and ask dumbass questions. Too bad I can't find any example, but if you read the PHP forums I'm sure you'll see a few of them.
This is a "me too" post, damn I can't believe how long I lived with such a configuration.. from 1996 to mid-2000. I think I used IE though, it was faster than Netscape. I did get 32 MB and 8.4 GB upgrade in 1999, but in August 2000 upgraded to an Athlon 650, and then my brother got that, and now I have a Duron 900. Wow, I miss my old computer.:)
Who knows, maybe it's going to be a federal crime soon. Well luckily doubleclick doesn't have the kind of RIAA money to bribe^W donate to political candidates. That would be something.. "Buy the X10 camera, or go to jail!" and "Have you seen this man? He is wanted for not viewing banner ads."
And this site will be a violation of the DMCA, SSSCA, CBPTDA, Patriot and Homeland Security Act.
I find I'm addicted to/. I keep reloading the main page to see if there's anything new, and read all the comments to see if someone said anything funny or interesting. It's pathetic really, then when I talk to (geek) friends in the real world I'd just regurgitate the opinions I read online which I agree with. What happened to having one's own opinion.
Gotta do a Java assignment, I sit there, and reload Slashdot every 5 minutes when I'm supposed to stare at the code and think a bit. Sucks.
My name is netsharc, and I'm a slash-addict. Anyone else wanna share their story?
Maybe they send the message through faster-than-light-"subspace" to arrive at the same time it was being spoken.:)
An initial 1 second pause wouldn't hurt the conversation, I imagine Picard would only begin to receive the message after Riker says "Picard". When Riker has finished talking, a one second wait before Picard responds wouldn't be noticable, although of course not good enough for 24th century technology.
Or perhaps there's a computer somewhere that can read Riker's mind (that he wants to contact Picard) and opens the channel appropriately - even before Riker says "Riker to Picard". We never see it, but Counseller Troi's second job is probably at the switchboard on the Enterprise, predicting who wants to talk to who and connecting them.:)
"This is not the network you're looking for." Well, P2P networks get to live as long as they stay hidden enough for the in-the-know only, once they get printed on the front page of newspapers the RIAA lawyers will just have to follow the trail of the 13 year old N-Stink fans. It's all in the balance, they need enough users to have good content, but not too many that they start showing up in the RIAA radar.
KaZaA seems to be thriving, there's eDonkey, Gnutella, and numerous others.
You know what I just heard? ZDNet Australia has an interview with notorious Australian IT Minister Senator Richard Alston which could even be read as suggesting that he, like some others in the Australian government, has learned a little about his portfolio during his 7 years at the helm. He responds openly about his censorhip regime, lack of action against spam and his antipathy towards Electronic Frontiers Australia but refuses to get into details on cyberterrorism response and security expenditure.
Damn those BBC Journalists are nuts. "Here, a picture of cats and a dog. I wonder how it will fit to this technology news. I know, 'Computers just are not cute as pets'!! Mrs. Tingle will sure give me an A!"

Well, while looking for info about Massive Attack , I came upon this.. not sure if it really works, try it and see - gnod.

Looks like the monkey that has to type out your webserver content everytime someone makes a http request is going to die of overwork soon. :)

Hehe, you say it right, PHP is nowadays too popular that every "I know Frontpage!" idiot has begun trying it.
Yes I'm an elitist. Leave computing to the real guys.
Hey, wanna turn off your sig before more people bitch about the spoilers??
Heh, it's still beta. DHTML and JS is for idiots anyway...
For maximum irony, please mark this comment "Redundant".
So that's how you got to your position, by sleeping with the boss.
that's some lame markup language that a certain PHP forum system has, which supposedly makes it easier to insert tags, but it's just like HTML.
But it does have it benefits. With that, you can disable HTML but this limited language is parsable to (non-annoying) HTML.
