Maybe I'm too demanding, but I can't agree with that. Windows is the only game in town for some things, that is its ONLY advantage in my mind at this point. As soon as I can free myself from those needs, I will free myself from Windows. Why? Well, for one thing, Windows forces me to reboot far too often [on the order of once every 2 or 3 days if I do nothing else besides web browsing, much much more frequently if I'm coding at all, or playing demanding games]. Worse, it can't tell you when this is necessary, you simply have to try and see if it will blow up [my 'free resources' are almost always listed on the mid 80% range, despite obvious and significant performance and stability differences]. Those two facts alone make me want out soon. on a perfect OS, I would only need to reboot to recompile a kernal or install new hardware. Failing that, the OS should at the very least tell me plainly and accurately when it needs to be cleaned up [rebooted] so I can do so before problems arise. Until Windows can do one of those two items, it will never, in my opinion, work well.
I have a car. Sometimes said car is a tool, getting me to and from work, appointments, etc. Sometimes said car is a toy, simply being used to drive about the country side on a nice day, or perhaps to get me to a beach. By your logic, my car should only be one or the other. Either it gets me to work, or it gets me to the beach, but somehow doing both is not kosher. This strikes me as obviously false.
Oh, BTW, its fine for Linux to relay mail, but not to compose them? Another obvious falicy.
Young slave:"The boss been beatin' us every day for three weeks now, pa, ain't it time we slipped through that hole in the fence and went up north?"
Older slave:"I know it's hard son, but the law says we are slaves and ought to stay that way, and the law is to be obeyed, because we all know its always the best thing for everybody."
Yes, this IS a matter of principle. One of them is that the unjust and/or obscene laws must be fought and abolished. And *I* will fight any mindless, zombie law thumper who tries to force injustice down my thoat.
NVidia is not, and really is not likely to become, a monopolist in any meaningful sense. The hardware side of computers is not like the software. Most specs are open, the closed ones tend not to do well [only one I can recall in recent times is the ZIP, and I think that is due to a decent product, reasonable price, and good customer service when they screw up], just look at apple, or LS120 drives. The hardware folks like open, certified specs [PCI, AGP, USB, etc.] that they can conform to. Any company with a few talented chip engineers could make a card that outperforms the GeForce 2's, make it plug into any AGP board, and compete. The reason this doesn't work in software is because the specs aren't open, they are controlled by the monopolist. So, untill NVidia releases their own slot for graphics boards, patented by them and used soley by their cards, don't get your panties in a bunch over their 'monopoly'. As 3dfx showed us, such monopolies in hardware rarely last long.
right, children never lie about each other when they get into fights, never make up stories about who said or did something bad... tell me, what school did you go to? Having never encountered this mecca for honesty, I'd like to see it someday.
...and its especially bad karma to get shot. They don't have a Federal witness protetion program for the fun of it, you know. So, do the right thing, and lose everything you ever worked for in life, friends, family, jobs, your very identity. Or, if you want to stay who you are, risk getting shot down on the street one day out of the blue. And its even worse for those who don't qualify for protection. Yup, they didn't think I was in enough danger, even though when Spike McKiller gets out on parole due to overcrowding, he'l be knocking on my door to say 'hi'.
I don't advocate doing nothing in all cases, but the previous poster has a point, and in the the end, you have to weigh the consequences very carefully, beause they are huge and permanent.
There may be some truth to the notion that wisdom seems to increase with age, but age does NOT cause the increase in wisdom. Experiences do. Now, you may say how do you get experiences without age? Easy, life can cram them in sometimes. Personally, I've been through more in my life then most of my friends, and I have met people my age who make my own feeble experience seem all the smaller. Meanwhile, I have known people three times my age to have lived only half the life I have thus far. So really, age is only related to wisdom for those who do not actively seek wisdom out, and are content to merely let it happen.
I agree about floppies. Indeed, I keep about 3 or 4 boot floppies around, in case one goes bad. And working the university help desk has shown me how often floppies go south. Every week, someone gets a paper eaten by a bitchy floppy. I have found ZIP disks to be a fairly usable replacement. Tons of PC's have ZIP drives now, and they hold a LOT more.[no, I don't work for IOmega. My first ZIP drive actually had the old click of death. Their support, however, promptly replaced it, free of charge, even though I had bought it second hand online, so they're one company I like:)]
Just and FYI, a lot of newer BIOS's [I know mine] can recognize and boot from a variety of devices, so long as they are ATAPI [my CD-ROM and my ZIP 100 are both boot options]
Well, they had a culture in the academic sense perhaps, but you don't see much literature or philosophy from the area at the time.
As for media and culture, they are a part of it. Maybe not every last bit, the end all and be all, but they are a portion, and lack of access to that portion can't be considered a good thing.
Not relevent? May just be me, but I think that the question asked is relevent to everyone, even me. Never simply accept what you are given, or you may lose more than you ever knew you could've had.
Dunno, but last time I checked, it was hard to be happy when you're bored.Also, Music, TV, Movies, etc. are more than mere entertainment, they are a part of our common culture. As such, for a company to with hold them arbitrarily is holding a part of our culture for ransom, and that is a loathsome practice.
As a side note, why do so many folks always strive to limit rights? "we don't have a right to X, Y, or Z". Says who? Did you ever stop to think that the only reason you don't beleive we have those rights is because someone trained you to think that way?
By the end of the comment, 'being hassled by police', I can see you haven't often had to actually deal with most of the cops in the US. I think I've run into two, maybe three cops with common sense, the rest just follow their rule books like automatons, oblivious to anything not spelled out in the books [personal example: woman is very VERY upset after a relatively minor, but potentially expensive fender bender {her car had quite a bit of damage, the other person's car was almost untouched}. Said woman is crying, proceeds to actually vomit from nerves. What does the cop do? "You are being cited for following too closely." No sympathy evident AT ALL!]. Sorry, I can't trust humans who don't act like they're human.
[yes, I know I will be modded into oblivion soon, and possibly flamed, but I had to say it. This 'cops are your friends' bit has been proven dead wrong in practice to me all too often.]
Actually, most of us here would want only two stipulations, and that's not really copyright as we know it. the two stipulations are:
1. Proper and full credit where it is due.
2. Whatever price I charge for it, you should charge no more unless you add something of value.
granted some folks on here would want more, but those of us who believe copyright is wrong, as far as I have seen, would be happy with those two, very very mild stipulations.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I figure they can't lock out OpenNap. Maybe if you download the new, 1337 client, they can change it to make it harder, but someone can [may already have] coded an open napster client. Even if not, plenty of folks have older versions [I know I still do] that will work just fine. BTW, Napigator makes life ever so much easier when looking for non-Napster-Inc. servers.
From the little I viewed [couldn't take much more, dunno if the series is that bad, or if it's just Americanization at work] it has plenty of violence in the 'lets shoot beams of energy at some supernatural being' vein [think Ghostbusters]. So, I guess to hyper sensitized nit wits, yeah its pretty violent. There was no violence [that I saw] person to person, though.
Side note: a female lead in anime does NOT mean cutesy, or non-violent. Just watch the first episode of Slayers as proof [basic idea for those who can't get a hold of it: Main character is a female magic user. She has a spell that is roughly equivalent to a small thermonuclear device. Towns tend to become craters a lot.]
Lots of folks raise the same arguement here, that it ruins the gameplay. Well, there is a solution: Organize! Hear me out. Get together a dozen or so hardcore, very high level players. Set up an 'anti item camper' guild. When you get reports that some 1337 h@X0r is camping items, send out a half dozen 50th level characters to reduce him to ashes. Wash, Rinse, Repeat. A variation here would be for Sony to do the same. This way, everyone could be happy. A fellow who played the game a lot, but is now tired of it, sells it, and his account info, to someone else. So long as he sells it lock stock and barrel, and is honest, that is a legit desire [hey, that way someone gets to benefit from the hours of gameplay]. But if a bunch of morons wants to try to make a business out of it, they get smacked down hard. [Maybe the Sony folks could create some sort of uber characters, 5,000,000 HP, regenerating, untouchable by all but 1,000th level characters, can do anything the game engine supports, that sort of thing.] Besides, wouldn't it be more satisfying to actively participate, or at least watch, as some cocky SOB who's been picking on low level characters gets his loin cloth handed to him? I mean, yeah, its a lot of work, but its better than involving the lawyers, and would earn brownie points for being creative.
The biggest problem is the broadness issue. Most folks have no problem with someone wanting a reasonable amount of control over something they created, the issue is what defines reasonable. To use an old saying as an example: "Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door." Great idea, but these days companies don't claim the rights to their 'better' mousetrap, they claim the rights to the idea of using some device for the purpose or detaining and possibly exterminating rodents or other offending small lifeforms. The first idea, that they own the right to their specific and unique version of a mousetrap is relatively reasonable, the second, that they basically own the entire idea of 'mousetrap' is not. yet, these days, companies can and do obtain such ownership [one click shopping anyone?]. That is the biggest problem.
Ok, try not to see this as flaimbait, since it isn't intened as such, but..
What about the future? yes, NOW we can command large salaries from companies, and wander into someplace else with ease if they balk, but what about 5 years from now? 10? 15? The tech market has crashed before, as all markets do from time to time, its just the cycle of things. Sooner or later, the demand will taper off, and maybe decrease substantially. I'd bet you and most of us would love to have unions around then, to keep greedy corps from screwing us too liberally when the leaner times show up. If we fail to organize now, when we have the power to do so with little real opposition, we will face a war to do so when we really really need to.
I for one support unions, and would join one given the chance. I have a future to consider, and unless you're retiring soon, so do you.
True, the Linux pimping/M$ bashing does alienate some folks, but maybe that's part of the point. A community is typically a group with some set of traits/ideas/concerns/etc in common. Throwing Linux advocates in with M$ afficianados[sp?] is not a terribly good way to find common ground. That, and the fact that anyone with an account can filter out the things they wish not to see [think every story about M$ is to bash it? filter the topic. Likewise, tired of every Linux post being unbridled praise? Filter away my good man]. Personally, I have no trouble with the/. bias. As small as Linux still is on the world stage, it NEEDS a zealous core user group. Likewise, with all of the past and present abuses that come down the pipe from Redmond, M$ likely deserves a good deal of the bashing it receives [simply put, you don't get to be THAT huge without doing some evil somewhere along the way, just look at US history]. If you, or others, don't agree, you can either post your opinion and say so, or filter out the noise an concentrate on news about Aibos, Anime, etc.
Ah the personal day... useful, yes, but shopping is hardly an activity I would wish to engage in on a rare day off. At least, not shopping in the necessary sense [shopping for Anime or PC parts is a whole other issue:)]. Roaming stores that, often, seem to enjoy overpricing SOMETHING I need that week, even though the week previous it was dirt cheap, standing in line behind folks who can't seem to recall their MAC PIN or who insist on writing a personal check for a gallon of milk, clerks who seem to have left their brains at home, yup, such a fun filled, relaxing day off.
OK, where do you people get a whole day to just go f***ing shopping? I typically have to shove my shopping in the cracks somewhere. [for the record, I'm a student who also has to work a lot to support various bills, hence no time is truly free for me, there's ALWAYS something I ought to be doing {coding, studying, working more so I don't have to run from bill collectors, etc.}] That and there is the issue of bikes not carrying that much of a load [you try to load a week of groceries, plus a 25 lb. bag of cat litter, plus a 20 lb. bag of cat food onto a bicycle. Go ahead, send me pictures of the impending disaster:)]
1. Longevity can be achieved, eventually, through this, but not immortality. Severe truama to the brain or other vital organ will likely still be fatal [though all organs beside the brain will depend on proximity to a proper treatment center]
2. There may be some unforeseen limit on this that we will only discover after implementing it [maybe these stem cells have some maximum ability to regenerate tissues, at which point nothing an bring it back, sort of like a rechargable battery]
3. Repairing brain damage will enable full function, but not recovery of memories, personality, etc. So a tumor/shot to the head will still be very life altering.
