The funny thing is that the Earth's rotation is slowing down due to constant micrometeorite bombardment causing it to gain mass. This is why they add all those leap-seconds on new years.
HELLLOOO, the US dairy industry is in some really bad shape now days with milk at $11.50 per hundred pounds, or about $1.10 a gallon, the lowest price in 20 years. Wisconsin dairy income decrease by $500 MILLION dollars in 2000.
You mean, "Intel should have made some half-assed extension to a painfully obsolete ISA rather than have the balls to invent a radically new and innovative ISA that might actually be able to exploit the rediculously large number of transistors that will be on future chips for something other than cache."
The impression I got while watching the movie was that the kid was normal except for the fact that he had a "chip" implanted in his brain that let him process information as fast as a computer.
Hell, my grandpa was telling me about a guy he new in the Navy during WWII who was always talking about how the US was going to build an atomic bomb and that he hoped we did it before the Germans. So there was some public knowledge.
So your saying it is better for a company to prevent people form playing their old software even though their are people who want to use it?
Sounds like the epitomy of selfishness and greed, but, hey, this is America, where those are GOOD THINGS!
I finally apprecciated how wide spread the all your base meme is today. I was reading everyone's favorite right-wing rag "The New American" at school when I saw it on a fictitious placqard(I know i didn't spell that right) in a picture for an article about the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform bill!
My favorite banner of all time was a java add from SUN. But the really nifty part was that the banner was really a mini-miniature golf game, complete with 9 very differant holes. It was actually pretty fun to play. Anybody else remember this one?
My favorite sreen saver of all time was this collection of otical distortion effects. I mean, you would pick convex-lens, and the saver would apply that distortion to a adjustible area of the screen and randomely move it around. It had a bunch of effects, like black-hole, wich looked like everthing nearby was being sucked in. It was a very well executed example of a really good idea. Its been 5 or 4 years since I saw it though, anybody else seen anything like this?
I am sooooo happy for you! Meanwhile I live in Wisconsin, area code 53010, in a semi rural area (the houses maybe average a half mile to a mile apart) about six miles from the nearest phone switching station. I sure as shit want DSL, but hell, for a month I couldn't even use my modem because the phone line was too bad to connenct but still good enough to make voice calls, and Ameritech/Verizon doesen't guarentee modems to work, only voice!!! I was starting to fantasize doing a Columbine High on their corporate headquarters:-) It's people like me who need broadband the most because of our relative isolation but are least likely to get it, because the population density is too low to make it profitable. Well, I say we should creata a modern day equivelant of the the interstate highway system, but with fiber. It will likely have the same long-term importance. Meanwhile, I feel lucky to connenct at 26k, am currently conected at 24K, and fully expect it to take ten years (or more) to get anything faster. And don't mention satelite, I only work part time! Ironically, I live less than two miles from a cell phone tower, so I might someday be able to get a 2Mb connection that I have read about before DSL, but I ain't holding my breath.

Seems obvious to just include automatic jpeg compression in the software, especially if it is intended for internet publishing.
Why couldn't It just not display what shouldn't be seen?

SAP sells enterprise level software that can cost more than a house to buy and install.
