Obviously, the people commercialing will then have to deal with paying to commercial on the TIVO boxes rather then with the networks (well in conjunction), and then the networks in turn will make the people who make the TIVOS pay them a cut to provide the content. Thus recycling the old model once again, until something new comes along that can remove the new ads from the ad removing tivos hehehe.
but did those many articles claiming that they put tons of links on their pages to boost up their search results contain many articles with many links to boost their articles links ? hehe
i think that techies should start their own companies, as much as people on here hate Bill Gates, he was a techie who decided to start his own venture. Why not start your own business ?
Theres just something about paper, you need paper to right down ideas in your head etc....also computers can be such a distraction in the classroom with all the other goodies on them etc...I just can't see it, I'm always on a computer, and at work i still go through paper like crazy writing stuff down
maim is great I remember putting like 5 dollars in that at my local 7-11 when they used to have U.N. Squadron and Street fighter, both of which are capcom maim arcade games. I guess they got rid of them in 7-11 because they had people like me hanging out for 3 hours, i actually got my one bike stolen cause i didn't have it locked up which really sucked, yes i know offtopic
I think it's dying not because the regular games are getting so advanced, but because the regular games are getting more and more like better versions of pinball, for example if you go to dave and buster's in atlanta or philly you can simulate riding a canoe, or a horse, motorbike, mac truck etc.... the games are interactive, before you had video games and pinball, or skeeball....Now even 10 percent of the video games are just as interactive as pinball
How bad am i sick of writers on the web doing things new and creative, just write a damn book would you ? The whole point of writing is not pretty pictures or stupid thoughts about how i should design my web page creatively, it's about the writing. I think its really lame that they are almost trying to say this is a science experiment, your not fregin albert einstein. You don't need the scientific method to write a book, but you do need a good solid storyline

Isn't it ironic that the newspaper that asks you for your name and email everytime you just want to read an article is whining about google's invasions of privacy.
the real main point of the argument was ignored by the responders, the point is why is experience needed to know things ? in a physical world such as ours, experience SHOULD NOT BE such a big part, but it is, and this argument as philosophy 101ish as it is that experience plays a HUGE role in knowing. You can say all you want about it not mattering but don't tell Mary that!
well i was just stating the argument, there are others too that are somewhat convincing. One that is cool too is the idea of splitting the brain. It is widely known that people can live with only one half of their brain intact, if some sort of mad scientist could put one half of your brain on a body, and the other half of you on another body which one would be considered you ? If you are a materialist and answer none, then you are saying that the physical doesn't have anything to do with personhood, thus being contradictory. If you say that one of the halves is you then you beg the question why not both ? If as a materialist you say both are you, then this seems absurd, how can both be you and think the same as you and be the same person as you ? Basically, this argument reduces materialism down to absurdity and shows that there is something more then the physical to personhood, thus reinforcing the point that conscious experience and self are not just physical.
Is it really teleportation?
Obviously it depends on what you believe a duplicate of an object is, if you think a duplicate is purely physical then yeah they are transporting one object to another place, notably a laser beam. However, as the objects get bigger and more complex the question lingers, is this really duplication when it comes to animals, humans ? After you get to this point the question gets very philosphical and hinges on consciousness, can consciousness of a human being be duplicated. There are many arguments that say NO, consciousness cannot be duplicated especially if you are using just blue prints on the person's physical nature. I.E. if you believe that there is something not physical to us then we couldn't be teleported in this purely physical fashion.
one such argument is Jackson's Mary argument
"Imagine Mary, a person who knows all there is to know about the physical processes that give rise to color vision. She knows how the neurons interact and what happens with the brain and eyes. But, Mary has spent her entire life in a black-and-white room and therefore has never experienced color vision. So there is something missing from Mary's knowledge of color vision, conscious experience." This thought experiment criticizes materialism because if materialism was correct, then Mary would know everything about color vision (including conscious experience) because she knows everything about the physical processes. But she does not know about conscious experience so materialism must be wrong. Jackson's argument is as follows:
1. If materialism were correct, then knowledge about the physical would lead to knowledge of conscious experience.
2. Mary has knowledge of all the physical processes associated with color.
3. Mary does not have knowledge of conscious experience.
4. Materialism is wrong.
if you are bored with downloading the mp3s of your favorite artists, go to the internet radio stations then download in mp3 form the songs that you like that you hear there. I do this all the time to find new music, and because on regular stations they don't always tell you who made what they just played
I would personally go with Delphi to meet the needs of any application, because it is so versatile. However, if you still really like multiple inheritance then you can go with borland c++ builder, which is basically delphi in c++, rather then pascal.
When i first really got involved with the internet i used those search engines because they are easily accesible (i.e. MSN is your default start page). In addition, in college I downloaded a lot more music in my free time while on the computer, and in my early days on the computer i visited chat rooms a lot more, I think the survey is at least on the money for me. What about the rest of you slashdotters?
hopefully with the advent of kylix by borland, a lot of shareware and freeware developers for windows will choose to produce linux equivalents, it's very easy unless you are using complex visual controls, then you have to write more code.
i think we should send dave thomas into space, ya know the wendy's guy, that way he can try to sell his awful greasy hamburgers up there, plus he's really annoying don't ya think ? And we can send other people who have outlived their stay on earth, such as ronald mcdonald, but please keep the hamburgler hehehe
I'm just glad it's N-sync and not good bands like the aerosmith or u2. However, someone will break it, i'm sure there's some kind of crack already out there

Eudora is still around, Pegasus is pretty good, they have a review in this month's pc magazine.
