The force was strong with this vintage... it's actually not too bad a wine, but horridly overpriced. Of course due to collectors only 2 bottles will ever be consumed, the rest stored away with all those action figures:)
In this event, best keep it in a dark, cool basement. Not on the bookself in your room, near your computer, unless you're into explosive interior decorating and the stink of vine vinegar.
Ok, I happen to be fine with Ep I & II. That Coppolla has been making wine for years is nothing new, that he's been using a tiny (2.5 acres!) amount of grapes for a tiny amount of wine is nothing.
This would have been news if Lucas was doing a few hundred acres and bottling himself, Jar Jar Brut, Tattoine Port, Darth Zinfandel or something connected to the films, but as it is it's no more relevant than to American Graffitti or THX-1128
You forgot War on Illiteracy and No Child Left Behind.
From the look of contents of these emails, these people are about as educated as the average armadillo. That current funding for education is dropping like a rock (California will go from 34th to 46th in per student spending) it's no surprise I'm getting all this spam with horrible spelling and grammar. Tsk Tsk Tsk.
The primary enemy of Linux at this point is not SCO.
It is cartoon characters.
Hey, you know, now that I think about it, Elmer Fudd did always wear a red hat...
That's nothing. Imagine the mixed feelings some of us would have if this guy and Washington Post Writers Group sued Linux distros and Linus over the penguin. Or the estate of Charles M. Schulz sued over the name 'Linus' and confusion with 'Linux'. Yeah, SCO is going down, but these cartoon characters are represent a serious threat.
"Where's the Kaboom? There's supposed to be an earthshattering Kaboom!"
Mandrake gestures hypnotically and the world believes the name of a plant, claimed to have medicinal
properties, belongs to a cartoon construct, which ceased to be popular in the 80's, and therefore restricts the use of the name
from any other use, cartoon related or not.
Spammers suck, right? And their children have obviously inherited the spamming gene. So, by starving the children to death, we're preventing the spam gene from spreading. It may sound wrong, but we're actually helping society.
The Spam Gene is actually a regressive gene, not likely it appeared in the parents or ofspring. It's affect is similar to fouling the nest or pissing on food before eating.
You take food away from a spammer and his children. Don't block spam, or else you hate childeren. You don't hate children... do you?
You know darn well that this will only increase employment in the Spam Technology sector and is a good thing.
Seriously, Spammers are often a step ahead and lately a lot of spam I'm getting is masked to look like Amazon orders or closed ebay auctions. I haven't ordered anything from Amazon (USA) in ages, but I till have to peek to see if someone has cracked my account and ordered something. Just expect the harder they are pressed, the harder spammers will press back by sinking to new lows.
Considering the president was a 'C' student, why should he care about science?
I have no problem believing the president means well, but I also believe he's daft. The concerns of the UCS fly may appear to contradict my beliefs, but I think the president thinks there's something good about allowing more lead in water, more snowmobiles in Yellowstone park, etc. I just can't see what it is. Maybe, like those big tax cuts for the rich, this is supposed to create jobs.
Sure. But did you sit on your butt, click, click, click and pay $6.95 postage you could have kept, like I did? Truly, the internet is a marvel for the savings...
I just picked up a package from the Post Office this morning. I placed the order on the internet and when it arrived the From address was about 10 miles from where I live, I drive past it twice every day and ride my bicycle past it on Saturdays and Sundays. I paid shipping and waited, when I could have just nipped in and got the item I wanted right away. Truly, I've taken the internet for granted. Anywhere to order from might as well be another country, for the way I simply point and click.
What exactly IS the status of Yamhill? Surely Nocona isn't Yamhill under a different name . ..
Yamhill, when the story broke, revealed a schism within Intel. Those working on the product felt a sense of urgency in delivering a desktop 64 bit processor, an extension of the x86 line. Meanwhile the other camp expressed it was an unnecessary product experiement, which should be discontinued, as the Pentium IV and Itanium were all the market needed. AMD has proven that camp wrong. Knowing something about egos in a business environment, the turnabout on the part of Intel suggests some red faces, particularly as the 64 bit extensions for Pentium processors are those as dictated by little brother, AMD and developed by the Yamhill group.
Suing Munich would be a bit tricky, because they'd actually have to make some sort of claim. And, last I heard, Munich is in Germany, and there's an injunction against SCO making claims about Linux in Germany. Perhaps Darl will send Munich a blank threatening letter.
You evidently have missed a few trials in US courts against concerns outside the US, pursuing any assets of that concern in US banks. Seems preposterous, until you see suits like that succeed.
Probably someone big, someone rich, a victim of such magnitude the world can hardly not take notice, probably Munich.
At least, if I were pretending not to be backed by Microsoft, that's what I'd do.
"Mein Gott! Herr McBride ist nicht gegetting keinen bier! Der kann amerikaner wasser beir getrinken und bei Holle gehen! Uf dienen lederhosen, Herr McBride!"
Intel's mistake was expecting a flagship processor, like Itanium, to rule the IT environment. AMD, wisely, expected commodity processors would do the job. Intel's already getting their butt kicked around, losing orders to commodity processors and servers. Effectively, if Yamhill wasn't going on, they'd be in deep trouble. As strongly as Yamhill was discounted, you know there was some pitched battle behind the doors in Santa Clara and Yamhill was thrust into the spotlight.
Right, so introducing a 32bit/64bit "server chip" is absolutely NOTHING like introducing a "desktop chip". They still clearly are pretending that they are not competing with AMD's strategy. Who are they kidding?
Dell, apparently. Since Dell has continued to be exclusive Intel, in the face of the onslaught of AMD64 PCs, you can pretty much imagine a call from Dell to Intel going something like this:
Dell: "Those 64 bit processors are very interesting, we get calls asking abou them."
Intel: "The Itaniums? Well, yes, we've put many years and millions into them, they should stir some interest."
Dell: "No, I'm refering to AMD."
Intel: "But you don't make systems with AMD processors."
Dell: "We haven't, yet."
Intel: "Oh, uh, we'll have something ASAP and I swear it's not going to be exactly like AMD but almost as good, uh, yeah, that's it! Real soon now!"
Dell: "Good to hear it."
Microsoft has dragged their feet. When the Opterons first shipped Microsoft was coy about what plans they had. In the meantime AMD had been working with Linux, BSD, etc. for over a year. Only now there's something from Microsoft. The timing of their 64 bit Beta, when they will actually release a fully supported 64 bit Windows and Intel's schedule suggest they've been working more closely with Intel than AMD.
Intel sure knows how to keep a secret. So what will these mystery Xeon-class 64 bit CPU's be? Opeterons with an 'i' painted on them?
As for one operating system, who? They in cahoots with Microsoft, after Microsoft dragged it's feet on AMD? Sounds like collusion, anti-competitiveness, and all that.
But the US is the new evil; its actions are unilateral and goes against the wishes of the international community and it's only making things worse for its citizen and the rest of the world.
Yeah, evil, now put on your Nike's, hop in your Hummer and whip on out for a burger and fries.
There was something about the Peace Corps, years ago, that initially they taught people how to farm betrer, manage their natural resources and generally how to look out for themselves better. Then came the Peace Corps that shelved those ideals of building a better world for teaching people how to run small businesses. I wonder how it is these days...

Now Cheney, he's a stinker.
Pi has been redefined as 3, any greater precision may be an aid to terrorists.
e has been redefined as 2, any greater precision may be an aid to terrorists.
Air purity regulations have been relaxed so reduced visibility will help obscur tall buildings from planes piloted by terrorists.
Water purity regulations have been relaxed so terrorists drinking it may go to their martyrdom sooner, without killing patriotic americans.
