I think that comparing to MHz to HP is fairly accurate. Just because a car has a set amount of HP doesn't make it fast or slow. A 200 HP sports car will have better pickup than a 200 HP delivery van. Computers are the same way -- if you're using a lightweight program, it will run faster than a big fat bloated program.
Exactly. All tariffs do is slow down the economy. Just because some Indian can sling crappy VB code faster than you doesn't mean that you have a right to do it for more money. The fools who complain about outsourcing tech jobs are just not providing a marketable service to people. I'm not here to make sure they make money, nor should the government. Instead of passing the buck on to someone else, maybe they should put the blame on themselves for being unemployable.
There's a difference between deploying troops and denouncing what's going on. If Bush and friends really cared about quality of life for people in the world (and not merely what's in it for us), they would do as much as they could to at least bring light to the situation. One needn't equate invading a country with denouncing policy, although that seems to be what Bush and friends are doing right now. Don't think of it as attacking Russia, but more like one friend saying to another friend "Dude, quit playing Starcraft and go outside."
Maybe he's pissed because the US is "ignoring" the issues going on in chechnya on Russia's behalf. There were more Americans in Chechnya than in Iraq before the US invaded. It doesn't make sense why the US cares about people in Iraq, but not Chechnya. Oh yeah, more oil in Iraq. Have fun, Putin!
Hmm. In my past 24 posts I had 5 positive modpoints given to me. Your claim is false. For comparison, during your past 24 posts, you only had 3 positive modpoints given to you. I win.

Wow. You must be the god damn old bat of a queen herself. The entire world doesn't have bad teeth and a horrible sense of humor. Not everyone who speaks English speaks the "Queen's" English. Get over yourself.
If you're going to use the weblog for anything, use it for EVERYTHING. To have these sorts of things work, you need to have enough people actually critiquing -- that means everyone's got to be involved. I took an english class very similar to what you want to do. The prof. wasn't very strict about requiring people to use his web app, which led to there being very little content on the site.
The next thing you need to do is make sure that the page changes with the class. If it's exactly the same as when you handed out the syllabus, no one's going to want to check the page. Make sure you update the syllabus online with what is really going on in class -- your students will thank you for it.
Either REQUIRE them to use the computer, or don't use it at all. Anything inbetween will seem half-assed and won't yield any results.

USB -- the Xbox controller ports are USB ports. If theres a video encoder for USB that has linux drivers, maybe thats what you could use. As for sound, I've gotten usb sound to work on linux a long time ago.
So you couldn't hack it as an Open Source hacker. Too fucking bad. Why do you feel these companies are entitled to give you ONE cent? You're the one that released your stuff under GPL, you only have yourself to blame. You either get to profit from your code, or release it to the world -- not both.
That being said, you're also unrealistic. The goals you laid out for your system are totally unreasonable! Why waste your time writing things that have been written already? How would you plan to have a universal packaging system when different distributions put files in different places?
If you want to do something that really benefits the community, GET OVER YOURSELF. Obviously you're not the uber-haxor you thought you were -- it sucks to realize that, but it happens to everyone.
Normally, budgets are for very specific things -- money for complete systems can not be used to buy spare parts. Unless you're going to buy extra computers (and want to waste the time explaining why), it's better to just spend all the money you get on the best crap you can get.

Having used Jabber in a production environment for a while now, I have gotten to see many of the pros and cons of the protocol. I apologize if this sounds rude, but you have a skewed idea of "Jabber" the protocol, and "Jabber Clients" the software which interfaces with a specific jabber server. The solution to your issues can be answered by asking yourself a question: Is one jabber client giving you too much rope? The answer is simple! Use another one. There are plenty easy to use ones if you open your eyes. I find it hard to believe that you're a computer scientist, but won't take the time to google for an easier to use client. Then again, some client you tried to use didn't execute the first time and you gave up, so I doubt you'd ever actually do any real research into this area. Have fun with MSN!
I've rolled Jabber out in something worse than a corporate environment -- an academic environment. We have jabber (1.4.2) servers running on solaris boxen for the users of different clusters. We have the ability to authenticate against PAM or Radius. PAM allows us to authenticate anyone who has a UNIX account on the server. Radius allows us to authenticate against a much larger database. As of now, we do not connect the different servers together, but it is trivial to do so, even though we don't really have plans to do this right now. All the documention is out there. Look for mod_auth_cpile, and you'll find your PAM system authentication.
Where there is no TV, no cable, and no electricity, you'll still find a shortwave radio. You'll be able to find one in just about any gathering of people in the world. I think that's a little bit better than people with broadband...
IH(probably)BT, but I'll bite. I'm sure Google indexes many warez sites a day, and on those sites must be copywritten files, SOMEHWERE. Does this mean google can be sued? What about those "escort" agencies in the phone book? If some of those agencies sent out prostitutes as well, would the telephone company be liable? I don't believe that merely indexing file names would be illegal.
In case you're either really naieve, or just braindead, it's obvious that this list is full of poo. It's sponsored by realtors, so obviously the people who sponsor it must have some pull in which towns are selected. I'm from NJ, so I'll give you a list of the towns in NJ that they list.
Keyport, NJ Long Valley, NJ Princeton, NJ Ringwood, NJ Sparta, NJ
What do all these towns have in common? Except for Princeton, they were all mostly either forest land or farm land 15 years ago. Buy a house in one of these towns, and you'll be buying a small, crappily built with a big fat garage instead of a front door. (Any house you can afford to buy in Princeton will be a stone's throw from US1 and has the traffic to boot. No, you probably won't be walking distance from the Uni or Palmer square) Forget walking anywhere, none of these locations have public transportation or sidewalks in the residential areas.
As a die-hard Jersey inhabitant, I call BS. The lines for the DMV are just as long. Privitization did not help the DMV as much as you say. What about emissions/safety inspections? Remember that debacle? All privitization. Remember EZPass? Privitization. Sorry, both parties will screw up in equal amounts. If we're faced with this sort of situation, I'd rather have the government to complain to than some corporation -- remember, we have a direct line to complain about any publicly run service! We can bitch to our elected officials -- and trust me, your congressman WILL get things done better than any customer service department in any similar situation.
