I'm fairly certain that they will continue to send DOS, *NIX, and WinNT OSes into space. NASA isn't dumb enough to believe that the 'multi-media enhancements' that WinME add over Win98 justify purchasing it for the shuttle.
Perhaps they will get WinXP when it comes out, but I'm not sure how the '30 Days to install' rule applies when you orbit the earth in less than an hour. Does this mean that they only have 30 hours to install WinXP? That's less than the length of one mission and I'm not sure if they can download a new license from up in space.
Since my grammar skills are far superior to yours, might I suggest some different names.

I hope that this list helps. By the way, none of the languages that I spoofed have anyproblem with copyrights and making your own interpreter/compiler. As far as I'm concerned, you don't need any other languages besides the ones listed above. What language could you possibly be talking about? If it's some math analysis crap like MATLAB or Khoros, then you should be converting code to one of the languages that I listed before you package/distribute it. If your using some wierd thing like LabView, then just use Python (or Pie-thon). You'll thank me in the end.
I'm glad I could be of assistance. Have a nice day.
Whell, I whine and whine, but I didn't knowh what the purpose of OpenNIC whas until you so rudely informed me. You should be nicer to people on Slashdot. Some day it may come back to bite you in the butt. I will indeed look into it as soon as I can access their whebsite.
Personnally, I love standards, but I think that ICANN is just dragging their feet. Even if the plug-in that allows different top-level domains isn't Linux compatible, I'm sure that somebody will figure out a way to make it Linux compatible. I would rather get my top-level and have them be 'Windows only' for a while than wait for ICANN to get their act together.
Maybe we can convince the plug-in company to open source the code since their money will be made off of domain name registrations.
I spent 14 years in the military my carraer field was basicaly radar jamming but the pricipales are the same you can easily uild your own personal jammer just do a little research and you will never hear a cell phone ring again
...That just goes to show... You can teach a military man to jam radars, but you can't teach him to form coherent sentences.
Shame on you suselaptop for your grammar!
Can anyone comment on my opinion of why the rest of the world seems to be ahead of the USA in the area of mobile phones? Here's my reason: The USA has years of infrastructure behind the conventional telephone system. Basically, the phones are so damn good, that we didn't need to 'take to the airwaves' so soon. A friend told me this, but I don't know if I believe him. Either way, our mobile phone technology is probably a full year behind the rest of the world (Iraq included)!
I used to love Star Frontiers. The rules were rather simple, but I expanded them and used a Cyberpunk campaign that took place exclusively on Earth.
In my campaign some of the Asian countries (based entirely upon their geographic location, not race) were being controlled by an alien and the governments were starting to go to war with the rest of the world. The alien was providing Japan with the technology to actually go to war with the rest of the world. The campaign started in the sewers of Tokyo, all the party members were caucasion, hence they had to remains unseen or covered up in public from the Japanese.
At first, the party was just trying to excape from the island of Japan, but eventually, they uncovered secrets took them back into Tokyo as they tried to uncover who/what was controlling the island of Japan. By then, most of the countries were at war with Japan.
The culmination of the campaign was going to be when the player characters went to Siberia to kill the alien. They did figure out that it was an alien and it was living in siberia, but before the PCs could arrange for transportation to Siberia, many of the players (myself included) went away to college. The campaign was left in a 'hanging' state.
How many other wonderfully planned campaigns have been broken up this way?
I think that the best way to cut plastic without damaging the surrounding metals is to go to the Wudan School of martial arts on the top of Wudan mountain.
They teach a plethora of cutting techniques. I strongly recommend Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon for a further demonstration of the Wudan's cutting techniques.
One word of advice: if you do attend the Wudan school of martial arts then stay away from the edge of the bridge. The railing isn't very high and it's easy to jump/fall/float off.
Just some friendly grammar help from the friendly grammar nazi:
va-por-ware: 1. New software that has been announced or marketed but has not been produced. 2. Products announced far in advance of any release (which may or may not actually take place). The term came from
Atari users and was later used by Infoworld to Microsoft's continuous lying about Microsoft Windows. 3. Products announced far in advance of any release (which may or may not actually take place). See also
brochureware.
Brochureware: Planned but non-existent product like vaporware, but with the added implication that marketing is actively selling and promoting it
(they've printed brochures). Brochureware is often deployed as a strategic weapon; the idea is to con customers into not committing to an
existing product of the competition's. It is a safe bet that when a brochureware product finally becomes real, it will be more expensive
than and inferior to the alternatives that had been available for years.
letdown: 1.A decrease, decline, or relaxation, as of effort or energy. 2.A disappointment: The cancellation of the game was a real letdown.
3.The descent made by an aircraft in order to land.
Hype, slang .Excessive publicity and the ensuing commotion: the hype surrounding the murder trial.
2.Exaggerated or extravagant claims made especially in advertising or promotional material: "It is pure hype, a gigantic PR
job" (Saturday Review).
3.An advertising or promotional ploy: "Some restaurant owners in town are cooking up a $75,000 hype to promote New York
as `Restaurant City, U.S.A.'" (New York).
4.Something deliberately misleading; a deception: " [He] says that there isn't any energy crisis at all, that it's all a hype, to
maintain outrageous profits for the oil companies" (Joel Oppenheimer).
lust (to describe my feeling for a Ti Powerbook running OS X): To have an intense or obsessive desire, especially one that is sexual.
I'm as dissappointeed at the ballyhoo as anybody, because I am waiting for OS X to come out and then I'm going to buy a Ti PowerBook. After 4 years away from the Mac OS, I was finally going to switch back..

If a market-dominating group of disk drive makers; computer companies
like IBM, Intel, Toshiba, and Hitachi; and movie and record companies
all want to go off into a smoke-filled room and define their own set
of exclusionary copy-protection specs, they need to pretend they're
meeting to define a standard in an accredited standards organization
like T13. This proposal is their smoke-screen.
it'll take about 2 milliseconds before someone makes a player that ignores the 'protection layer'.
I agree completely.
Here's the grammar nazi summary: 1. Napster is increasing the cost of their service (from $0 to ???).
2. Napster is removing 'value' from it's service by restricting the files that can be shared.
This is never a wise business model. Increasing price needs to accompany increasing 'percieved value'.
The only way that I would pay for Napster's service is if they increased the value of their service. For free I have access to a lot of music. Why the hell would I pay to have access to less music.
I desperately hope that Gnutella or Freenet are ready by the time Napster decides to implement there new flawed business model.
The images are binarized on the qnx machine.
The thing that gets crushed is the PCI bus, not the network. Most of the images are cropped in the images capture card. The 10MB is for an uncropped images. If there is no cropping, then the PCI bus can't even support this load.
The only thing that's not appropriate, buddy, is your response and your grammar.
QNX is a light and mean OS with many applications. Have you ever tried to run 24 10MB images per second through an image capture card and straight onto a network? You better believe that QNX is one of the only OS's that will handle that. It's quasi-realtime nature makes it ideal. The kind folks at QNX will basically roll your own custom distro for a specific job.
My second point was that your grammar sucks. Please try to proofread your comments before you submit them in the future. It will make/. a nicer place.
Unfortunately it's not that simple. It comes down to marketing and leveraging products. That's why large companies can force inferior products and service upon the industry (perhaps.net?).
If it ever came down to the best products, we would all be using the Amiga OS on PowerPCs.
A jet engine, with theoretical speeds over 8000 Kph, and pollution free!
Pollution free? Maybe air pollution free, but I doubt that it is noise pollution free! At least it will fly so fast that you won't hear it for long, and by the time the noise hits, it will be long gone.
You can think of the cybercourt as similar to a food court in the mall. Whatever you think of it as, don't take it seriously!
Governor Engler is known for giving all of the State's computer jobs to companies that are run by his friends. For example, the DNR, Dept. of Parks and Recreation got a campground reservation system by some company in Boulder. It turns out that the president of the company was a college roommate of Gov. Engler. The program never did work completely, and finally the contract was over, the company had been paid and parks quit using this program. An incredible waste of money. When I worked for parks, if somebody came into the campground stating that they had made an online reservation, we used to honor it, because we had no method of checking to see if such a reservation was actually made.
A similar situation happened with privatising the Alcohol commission. That is why no bartenders/owners will ever vote for Engler again. Some bars had to wait up to 3 months in order to restock liquor (PLI in waterford had this problem).
I think of the cybercourt as an excuse for all of Engler's Cronies to come into the state and get away with illegal activities. Before you moderate this as flamebait, realize that I backed up all of my statements with hard facts. Then you can moderate it as flamebait, if you still choose.
