You aren't very familiar with radio, are you? 802.11b works right now because not many people are transmitting at higher power. Once a certain group of people starts using higher power, it's just a game of constant, "I can scream louder than you", until people are running 500 watt amps to even have a usable setup. Just look at CB.
Tell me about it. When I write out the address by hand on an envelope, my handwriting is becoming more and more like a 3rd grader. I can type many many times faster than I write. Why the hell would I want to write into my computer. Pens and pencils are obselete.
I have to take that back, I seriously doubt kenetic energy will be feasible in *portable* applications, cars included. I think it is entirely feasible that you could build a kenetic energy storage device either underground in your front yard, or in a box concrete box, that could be charged up for use with solar or the like. Probably mostly useful for people that are "off the grid" though, has a high initial cost.
For the AC that replied that you could use multiple flywheels with a common "drive shaft", that isn't how flywheel energy works. The flywheel is in a vaccuum, not touching anything physically. Magnets are used to suspend it.
Yeah, and if you drop it, it explodes with the force of several pipe bombs. I seriously doubt kenetic energy storage is going to be feasible in the near future.
One thing about.com.com is that IE and other broken browsers (Lynx does it to I think) will attempt to auto-append.com.net.org onto the end of an unresolvable name. It would be an easy way to harvest data on typo-squatting names.
The will still have a short DHCP lease. The real reason for DHCP is to prevent you from running servers.
You are a consumer, never forget that. You aren't supposed to be providing content.

If I go into a book store, sit in the coffee section, and copy a book into a paper notebook I brought with me, word for word, then go put the book back on the shelf and leave, have I stolen anything? It is the same with this. The kid didn't steal anything from the store. He just copied something they had there.

Yeah, he really deprived them of income by "stealing" those 1s and 0s.
Yeah, but if you hit the standard with your pages once, even if the standard changes and something you use gets depricated, the support will probably stick around in the browsers for a long while.
I used the w3c validator like a compiler. It tells me when I screw up, when I misnest things, when I typo a tag, things that browsers may compensate for automatically. It's not so valuable for the standards compliance part, as it is as a sort of HTML-lint/strict compiler.
I kind of thought in the back of my head he was a Republican. Should have listened to my gut. Just substitute him with any number of Democrats, and it works.

It would come out like a bad babelfish sitting in a car in the middle of summer in Texas.

Unless you perfected AI a couple minutes before your post, and I didn't hear about it yet.

Use them for target practice. They are good targets, just shoot at the bottom, that way it doesn't matter what they screen onto the top.
I just typed slashdot.rog a few minutes ago.

One thing about
I've taken to picking up 20 or so of them each time to go to the local walmart. I use them for target practice with a BB gun.
They break real gud. Purty Shards. Et Cetera.
But the Bible doesn't say anything about other planets!
The scientific value of the 42 measurements carries a large multiplier.
Yeah, but only after you hit the red, yellow, and green bumpers, and get two balls in the ball sink.
I'm glad someone else is sane. 128 bits is way way way too many. 64 or 48 bits are enough to carry us well into the future.
And we only needed 48 bits in the absolute worst case. And I'd be able to remember my address if it was xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx too.

Making your page look good on every browser and platform is impossible.
It is possible, just follow the W3C recommendations. Don't "optimize" (i.e. break) your page for any browser, no matter what market share it has.
Aren't the Democrats supposed be the party that sticks up for the common people as opposed to big media interests like Disney and the MPAA?
Oh you mean like Sonny Bono.
Come one man, hasn't anyone figured it out yet? Libertarians are the ONLY ones that give a flying fuck about anything buy money and power.
Hehe, been asleep the last 14 years or so? :)
Then Virginia Tech must be a very bad school. I didn't go anywhere else, so I don't have much else to compare it to.
There's a reason why this is debuting in wales and not nyc
How do the get the wales to eat the cabs again? Is it something like dogs with bees in their mouths, or sharks with lasers on their heads?
You are welcome.
Sorry, I didn't catch the joke. What was the punchline again?
