I seriouslly doubt GWB will have a world dialog even if they were going to take over. Infact, I'm kinda surprised he recognizes that there is a world:)
I'm not sure about the logitech ones, but the MS Internet keyboard workes GREAT with X. I had more trouble getting them to work in Windows then in X. (Ok, I had trouble finding the CD with the drivers on it . . .:)

How is programing it to have morals/knowledge/whatever any different then teaching a kid? We all learn things before we have our own opinions, why would an AI be any different?
On the subject of re-gurgitating... 12 years of my life was spent in places where re-gurgitation WAS considered intelligent!:P
BTW, how many worthwhile posts have you read on slashdot anyways? (this one included:)

Yeah, you can change it. Doesn't seem to get saved. It's been driving me CRAZY.:P
Umm... In the last 2 days I have received 3 emails from the MSN GameZone newsletter saying that I have been subscribed, and if I want to be removed, I have to go to some URL. Now, I call that being forced.
And I am forced to spend time on microsofts site because their software is so useless and there is no printed documentation that can help.
AOL has billions of users, so that kinda makes sense.
One thing I've noticed is that there seems to be more used CD stores then ones for new CDs, and the used CD stores are better stocked. I've bought 20+ CD's in the last 12 months, of which 2 were new, and one of those new ones was onsale. It is extremly dificult to find albums I'm looking for (which often replace my MP3s) withount going for used.
Could it be that sales are down because people can't find what they want, and when they do, don't want to spend $25 - $30 when they can spend $10 - $15 for the same damn thing, just used?
I'd spend $5 - $10 for a high quality MP3 album if I could.
You can embed gecko into just about anything, the browser, mailer, irc client, page editor, etc. are all seperate. Did you click custom when you installed? And, AFIK they arn't loaded till needed (but I could be wrong).
Infact, the only speed problem I can think of is the use of it's own cross platform widget set. But I don't think that that is a bad thing.
As for size... Yeah it's a bit of a memory pig. I agree that that area needs to be looked at, but memory is less then $0.50/mB. If you wanna think money here...
These are from a local shop:
Windows ME: $145CDN + sore ass
32 mB PC-100 DIMM: $25CDN + better performance for everything (Moz is taking up 30 mB on my box right now)
It's trivial to save the file using the native application, and it's also trivial to extract the document out of Docs, as well as EMail a reference to another user.
There is a product called DocsOPEN made by Hummingbird I beleive. We use it at my office. It is WELL worth working into, and it integrates into almost everything windows. There is also a web interface for it called CyberDOCS.
Basically, instead of saving your files to a drive, Docs comes up and asks you to fill out a form. The file gets saved somewhere mysterious, the data goes into a serachable database, and you get on with your life. Later you call it up by searching for it, and you can add a new version when you save it. It's pretty neat. However, it is hard to get people to use unless you beat them over the head.
Somehow your post reminds me of one of the songs from Roger Water's album Amused to Death.
Radio announcer: Do you really think Iranian terrorists would have taken American hostage if Ronald Reagan were president?
Do you really think the Russians would have invaded Afghanistan if Ronald Reagan were president?
Do you really think third-rate military dictators would laugh at America and burn our flag in contempt if Ronald Reagan were president?
Concerned Citizen: Well it might work!
Change the names, and you pretty much have your post.
In keeping with Microsoft's history of using popular musicians, for their comerical they should use something from The Resident's album Freak Show for the music...
o/~ Everyone one comes, to the freak show, but nobody laughs, when they leave. o/~
Another thing about.uk is that they are doing the RIGHT thing. If.us was reorganized, you could put most of the.com's in.com.us, and stop forcing the rest of the world to put up with 100% All American BS.
Are you saying SGI didn't model the name "OpenGL" after OpenSomethignelse? Maybe the first company/person to call something Open should be writting some nasty letters themselves...

Gee, and I thought the PPC dist of debian was designed to run on a PPC.. wow, I love being proved wrong.
Hey, ever thing he installed Debian on it because he WANTED Debian on it?
Wrong. You have to be committed to SOAP. Which, as you should know, is similar to CORBA and RMI.

It's not just the NSA/CSIS/ that people are worried about. It could be as simple as the network admin at your office snooping in your mail.
Besides... If we don't encrypt everything, then when we do encrypt something, it will be looked at closer.
Umm... I beleive this has become standard, using MIME. Also, GnuPG can use keyservers on the fly....

So it's changed already...
Umm... It is split into it's component parts...

Do I ever! Fuck that was a good game...
:P
Anyone know why the Amiga versions of Maxis games were sooo much better then the peecee versions? Oh wait, I know why.
Now, RoboSport needs a friggen clone made more then any other game. It was just that good!
Another thing about .uk is that they are doing the RIGHT thing. If .us was reorganized, you could put most of the .com's in .com.us, and stop forcing the rest of the world to put up with 100% All American BS.

I agree. We can all blame Microsoft for THAT one. :)
Thats a shame... It's the TLD that these fights should be fought in... .com should be for evil multinationals. :P

2.4.1ac also fixes my 3c905... No mention of WHAT he sync'd up. This is one thing that bothers me about Linus' changlog's... They suck. :)
