Nice link : Fox News is not what I'd call an objective source of information.
I have a friend who's geologist. He climbed on top of "Le Mont Blanc" (4807m) in order to analyse it's ice. It found traces of pollution (hydrocarbures) which,
according to their depths dated from the last century onwards
according to their chemical composition were similar to Detroit factories' exhaust (there also were a few traces of Ruhr's industries)
So there's a huge pollution in the air, it also crosses the seas (and the Rhein).
Concerning Capitalism, I think that a system which reward people by increasing their materialism is vowed to collapse.
Anyway, we are doomed and I like the idea I won't have to get retired.
I wish somebody had told me that once one stops growing, he becomes fatter. I accumulated 25kgs between 25 and 30 and I took me 16 months to rid of these but now I can wear my tight clothes again. Really young people : don't mess with yourbody, learn to like sport, practise art because these are thing that should become the healthiest part of your life : "mens sana ni corpore sano". Otherwise, have fun and avoid engaging yourself too deeply until life actually requires it.
Yes it will : remember the Sharp Zaurus ? My SL-5500 was comfortably usable with Windows only, despite its being Linux-based. Korg folks just used a real-time patched Linux to pilot their keyboard but I am not sure they actually care a comma more.
It depends, I'd rather say they're here to symbolically ask him to deny its constitutive rights : the problems is that they don't apply in European countries, unless they stick to the local code of laws... Maybe in England but IANA(English)L.
Not false leads : I act normally but I just make the noise I am allowed to perform so that thbey finally understand that it's actually noise : useless junk that they thought could lead them to some "enemy of the state"...
And you reboot into RiscOS and it's snappy and streamlined and... and there aren't any modern applications. No Firefox or Thunderbird. No Open Office (although I do have a copy of Ovation, which is pretty good). Even the network card is coax and won't plug in to my LAN. My Network card is Ethernet and I have the Ant Internet Suite II. And excellentissima Applications are !Compo, !ArtWorks, !Zap, !Chaos, !Photodesk...
No, really, just trell me what you need and I'll get it for you.
Should Osama and crew learn all of the ways that we spy on them, they are liable to change their tactics and make it that much harder for us to try to foil them. Maybe they rebel because they don't like feeling they're being treaten like foes ?
BTW, I try to contribute to your masters' information indigestion : for example, when they said they'd monitor who'd take the kosher menu on the planes, I began taking it. Later, my boss told they'd monitor the proxy activity, I just began leaving my webmail window open with a 1 minute refresh so that he'd get 20x60 hits every hour (there are 19 images on my webmail window) even when I was in meeting.
Funny how he ended admiting this metric was just useless...
Now, believe me : if people believe in metrics and figure to assert how criminally you act, just give them enough for their money.
This police-state crap is just areason to off sucha system (insert Benjamin Franklin Gates quote here).
Yes it is... on a bloated syste, but under RiscOS, apps were sufficiently well written so that they would not crash that often. And as the machine can just reboot in less than 5 seconds, I am fine, thanks:)
My advice is that you visit this site which a friend has 100% made on his RiscOS machine (might be an Iyonix, that Xscale based RiscPC...) you'll then see how useful this machine can be to a creative mind (did I mention how its ergonomical features just made it even more straightforward for anybody to achieve its goals ?).
Have you *ever* owned a RiscPC or at least used one a whole week ? I had mine for 10 years and I also owned a "Miga". I can tell you which one is the most usable, and it's not yours.
Running the OS and all its apps completely in memory provides a very different user experience than one is used to from modern operating systems. Switching applications is instantaneous, as is switching screens (providing you are running separate screens at the same monitor resolution, otherwise you have to wait for your monitor to resync).
Scrolling is about as fast as on my 2.4GHz P4 PC. While the PC clearly blows away the AmigaOne on pure CPU performance (for example, unarchiving files, or ripping to MP3), for general use they "feel" about the same. The A1 feels much faster than my 733MHz Pentium 3 running XP, and makes my poor 500MHz G3 iBook running OS X feel like a pig stuck in molasses.
The author obviously never tried RiscOS : on my 33MHz RiscPC (bought in Dec94), there's still nothing that can match its responsiveness... except a 202MHz Strong-ARM RiscPC.
You just don't have time to even think about taking an espresso when you double-click a directory folder.
But yes, that's right : RiSCOS is cooperatively multitasking, hence the quick interaction.
So no, they're not working for me. They're working for themselves.
So are you, but if I incidentally benefit from your breakthrough, then it's good.
Example2 : You've got a pimp and a drug dealer in your street. They've having a very bad impact onto the childhood. One day, they have an argument and the pimp end killing the dealer.
Now, you've only got one problem left, and it's not as serious as the drug problem (it's easier for a teen to take drugs and to die from these than to frequent hookers).
Slashdot Mirror
The guy who downmodded might not have seen the video, otherwise he would have understood how ontopic your comment was.
Microsoft has attributed the rise in earnings to increased server sales (where *nix-based systems are supposed to be doing well)
Maybe it's because more servers (both MS and !MS) have been sold this year so both were profitable...
That idiot doesn't know that besides Lynx, there is also Links.
Parent is not offtopic !

It's relaxing not to have to put the subtitles on a self-proclaimed site-for-nerds.
Thanks, you just got it intendedly.

It's nice that they finally admitted it but, in another context, they still have to get rid of DVD Region encoding otherwise it's only rethoric.
Yes it will : remember the Sharp Zaurus ?

will it also be the case with toners ?
Just bought an HP1320NW and if cartridges are not DRM'ed yet, I guess it'll do, no ?
Ovation Pro, the one which is PCA-compliant. :)

A year ago I sold my SL-5500 because it couldn't stay on batteries for more than 1h30, how far has it improved, now ?

There was this movie showing an oil king having both a tennis court and a swimming pool in his plane.
Now, he would also have a football field...
Propz to the story submitter for converting all the numerical infos except the aircraft range : around 15 thousands kilometers.
Why do you think they made the iPod Shuffle ?
It's cheap enough to please most joggers.
No, don't thank him, just consider you have 50% less problems, which is going in the right direction, that's all.
So are you, but if I incidentally benefit from your breakthrough, then it's good.
