I have posted this elsewhere in other threads, but it bears repeating: the direction of the arms means nothing with swastika. The Greek swastikas look nothing like the German ones because they are not only inverted, but they take two turns instead of one. Here are most of the common swastikas of the world. You'll note that the Jewish, Hindu, Tibetan, and Christian face the same way as the German. You'll also notice none are at the signature 45 degree angle of the German.
Untrue. They are both swastika. The one to the left is called the suavastika, but this is rarely refered to as such. The NAZI swastika, technically is kept at 45 degrees to horizontal, and is made in a thick style from a 5x5 grid. In fact, when a swastika was laid down "crop circle" style in a field some years back, the paper reporting it took the picture at a 45 degree angle to drive the "point" home.
Seriously, post those items on ebay, and if they are in good condition, I'll buy them for my collection. As long as they're verifyably not German Third Reich, that is.
You should go to The Friends of the Swastika page. It includes some preliminary history, and there is also a book by the owner of this page: Gentle Swastika as well as some politically incorrect (presumably) Clothes for sale.
ManWoman (yes, that's his legal name, Manny for short) is a very nice person who is quite open and understanding after putting up with people calling him a Nazi for many years. He gently explains the history of the swastika, and people walk away much better than when they came.
I've seen people who buy these items to fill their "Hitler Shrines". You can usually tell them by their AOL names like "fascisto334@aol" or "whitepwr75@aol.com"... I even see this in auctions for non-Reich artifacts bearing swastikas such as Recent auctions I've won. I collect Swastika items, but I am careful to discern their origin. The candle holders are from china, solid brass from the early nineteen hundreds (and hand-made too) and the chips are clay (pre-bakelite). The brooch I'm not sure of, except it is not at a 45 degree angle. It is beautiful though, and not at all like the regimental German rubbish. The fact is France will likely block these items, even though there is no blood spilled over them. It is quite sad.
I fed the troll from flatplanet.net in a feedback to spam.com:
http://www.flatplanet.net/ is improperly using your intellectual property, an image of your can to promote "spamming" software. I suggest your take them to the boards.
have a nice day.
This would be interesting, if spam.com wasn't so glitchy. Perhaps someone else can get through?
Of course/. STILL uses the can for the "spam" stories, but they don't profit directly from it.
Isn't that interesting? Nowadays, I don't think anyone would bring on Perot to add "respectability"...:)
All joking aside, ever hear of Perot Systems? In my field (Medical IT) they were/are(?) a big player in hospital computer systems. They are one of our bigger customers here, and they held a lot of power and money in their heyday. Of course, Ross's son runs the company so daddy can be a full time loon.
3d. The Apple logo or any other Apple-owned graphic symbol, logo, icon or image does not appear on or in the publication or on any materials related to the publication, seminar, or conference without express written permission from Apple.
4. Web Sites: Third party web sites that serve only as noncommercial electronic informational forums concerning an Apple product or technology can use the appropriate Apple word mark, provided such use complies with the guidelines set forth in Section 3 above.
In other words, if Apple doesn't give/. permission to use the logo,/. has to remove it. Usually, they let this slide, or so it seems. Sites that do not directly profit from Apple's name would simply need to follow rule 3 from that page. There is a nasty bit about "disparaging manner" in there as well:
4. Disparaging Manner: Third parties cannot use an Apple trademark or any other Apple-owned graphic symbol, logo or icon in a disparaging manner
They define the terms of use for their own property, and it is up to them to pursue whatever they feel harms them. I wonder where the parody line is drawn though..
You obviously aren't paying attention. The pictures were posted BEFORE the machines were publicly announced. The pictures were internal promotional snaps, not your usual pictures in "Popular Mechanics" of next year's car.
The pictures were leaked, they were stolen, they were secretly forwarded to someone else who did not own them. They are also intellectual property, and they would become diluted if Apple did not act on their unauthorised distribution.
Lawsuits take time to file. Also, keep in mind that the C&D letter to AppleInsider et. al. were sent before the convention. Any punative action Apple wishes to take for the action can be carried out now, since they have the time to file.
seriously though, I'd like to run Linux on a PC104 card.. About how much are the cards? They never tell you the price on the mfgr's websites. I guess they are still trying to fit an old-world sales paradigm on a new-world product. Their loss.
- work now limited to 35 hours a week
YES ! The work limitation that made all US laugh a year ago, calling France "backward" etc... is indeed working. People get paid the same, they have more free time for themselves AND the economy is getting better and the unemployement dropping. So much for the "backward communist" critics...
They aren't getting paid the same. If they are salary, they are getting paid more per hour and working 5 less hours. If they are hourly, they are getting screwed out of 5 hours, or getting slightly higher wages to compensate for their lack of hours. Unless this issue were forced through the Government, employers would pay the same amount.
I don't think I could live in a shellfish society.
I'm allergic to it.
I think people have no right to complain about Napster shutdowns. It's like saying, "hey I have the right to steal" or, "Hey, I'll buy this candy bar if it tastes good!"
Well, you have the opensource programs that are crap, and the free Blender that is very good and very comprable to the commercial programs. It comes close to lightwave and looks somewhat like video toaster at times. And while it's true that free!=bugfree, $$$!=bugfree either. Who patches quicker would probably be the better indicator of quality. There is one and only one really good free(beer) editor out there, and that's blender. The BMRT is excellent, free(speech), and compatible with renderman files. The problem is you have to get a renderman interface to create the data files. Pov-Ray is a strong example of an excellent "product" save for its interface. So far Blender is top of the heap in the free(both) world.
Blender has gone from 0-100mph in a frightening amount of time - and it's free. In a year's time it could start eating into non-free competitors' profits
While I agree Blender has come a long way, it is still difficult for beginners. It relies heavily on keypresses just as lightwave. It was pretty amazing to be able to move around in 3d with game blender though. It looked almost better than Ultima:Ascension, and this was at a res of 1280x1024. It ran faster too, and it didn't have to do all that IDish map compiling. Everything was defined as sectors, like the old doom games, but instead of 2d sectors, these sectors are three dimesional in nature.
Even though blender is heavy on the keyboard, it is nowhere near as bad as 3D Studio Max. While I've admittedly not used it since 1.5, its interface left a lot to be desired, like shortucts, and usable scrollers. This was the first program to ever give me RSI individually. Haven't touched it since then.
Blender, OTOH, works great, and you gotta like the fact that it is free. They are going to open up parts of the source as well.
I think you forgot the part where Mac users got all rabid when Compaq made its Presario 3500 out of slightly transparent black plastic. Or perhaps when Dell made the webPC. It is still called a "iMac clone" even though it has a flat screen, has a NC look to it and it sports an ugliness that is unique unto itself.
I am also reminded of the fact that one of the Mac Evangelists decided to state that Apple held the patent on the plastic-making process. Surely there were no clear objects before this point. True, there is a process to Magnetically shield the monitor with impregnated plastic, but I seriously doubt Apple owns a process on something they farm out.
Yeah, and my friend has your prior work riiight heeeha (points to shelf with magnesium cube full of books and junk)..
Cobalt would only prove they are not only obtuse for going against a much larger company that makes a PROFIT (something about "operations" in the article causing problems with Cobalt) and is obviously over-litigious and in a position to counter-sue them.
I mean, come ON, Apple would sue their own fans for crying out loud! Does Cobalt really believe they can win this one?
And last I checked, a LOT of things out there are cubic in shape. It would be like Intel patenting that absurd pyramid. Not to mention the Apple Cube is prettier, appears to float, has all connections on the bottom, and all drives in the top, has a vent on top, and isn't that painful neon-purple. Yeah, they look the same, I'm so confused.
Pardon me while I vomit.
Sorry, but suing over the eOne makes sense, but Cobalt is just looking for some publicity to suck off of Apple Enterprise's industrial design.
Perhaps Cobalt should be moderated (-1, Flamebait)

The abouve words were misspelled. The grammar and sentence structure was so horrible that Word kept choking on lengthy, grammar-fucked paragraphs. Reading ease was 41%, and grade level was 13 on Flesch-Kincaid and 17.1 on Coleman-Liau. 15 percent of the document was written with passive verbs. Is this writing for the web? I'd have to say no.
This program is geared toward the unstable release (2.3?) of Debian, called "Woody".. you would have to change your sources list to say "unstable" on the official servers and then 'apt-get dist-upgrade' since it will grab the new list and take care of library upgrades. This should fix your base library problem.
After that, run their installer from the shell pipe. It is quite nifty. You can also follow the directions here for a manual install.
It mostly happens on most mundane things like libs and some basic apps that deal with the command line. I may have seen some Gnome things in there too..

The even sweeter part is Bill Gates will have written a product for a UN*X when OS X comes out.

Oops. I suppose this means NeXT abandoned their TM when they stopped making Cubes? Either way, the prior art still exists as physical evidence.
