...but you really can't have 3d in a boxed environment like a monitor. The closest you're gonna get is through projection (hologram?:) where you can actually look all around the object. This monitor sounds more like 3d rendering.
Whilst this is neat & all that's there's proof of DNA mutation through radiation, but there's no details on the resulting effects of that mutation. Did anyone grow an extra arm, x-ray vision, etc.?
I had quite a few problems with putting Linux on my sparc 10 (64M RAM). I tried RedHat and Debian to no avail. (I'm sure some more memory would've helped.) I ended up using OpenBSD for my sparc box and have been happy with it since. It's a fairly easy install and I got X running *very* easily.
I might want to add that S.u.S.E. now has Linux for Sparc I'm tempted to give that a try when I get a spare sparc to play around with.
The part that really said it all for me is how M$ is getting pretty frustrated with all the shops that aren't upgrading to 2K. I moved all of the servers at the shop I'm currently working at to Linux & *BSD and left one server with M$ too keep my MicroSkills up. Whilst that migration took a bit, upgrades on Linux & *BSD are no problem (and no reboot sometimes) whilst upgrades on Windows NT* are so painful, you might as well just reinstall the OS.
This might be a way for MS to get software out at more reasonable prices.
Microsoft is not/really/ a software company, it's a company based on keeping it's stock prices up. This is why I doubt *very* seriously that this scheme is going to make the overall cost of software more reasonably priced.
If you think that keeping up with licensing is expensive & troublesome now...
I guess the consumers really disappointed some of these "free ISPs" who thought that people would be clicking away at the floating adverts like lab monkeys looking for a cocaine fix. Since that didn't happen, looks like they're scrambling for a way to pay for all that hardware and promotion.
My biggest beef with mergers is that you end up with companies that do everything and do that everything very badly.
McFarlane Akira toys were shipped a year ago.

Akira Game for PS2?

Other Akira merchandise includes the McFarlane Toys second series of Anime toys, featuring Akira (see, "McFarlane Fields Diverse Lineup"), shipping to retailers in September.
Actually, the Akira figures have been out for quite a while now. In fact, Kaneda and his motorcycle have been protecting the routers from the forces of evil for almost a year now. ?:^)
As you are aware, at least one of the technologies that was the subject of the Public Challenge, the Verance Watermark, is already in commercial use and the disclosure of any information that might assist others to remove this watermark would seriously jeopardize the technology and the content it protects.
Technically, cassette recorders have been doing the same thing for years. What a load of rubbish.
Information is going to be freed no matter how lame of an attempt the RIAA or anyone else is going to place in order to keep it caged.
What it sounds like the article is trying to do is pigeonhole what IT workers should be like.
It's rubbish to say the best IT workers are "Big kids with big toys". Some of the best IT workers that I've known were actually just lazy and were searching for easier ways to get things done whilst the "Big kids with big toys" were screwing up their systems.
I'm not sure if anyone's doing this already, but I wonder if Hardware & Software vendors might start sponsoring websites pretty much the same way that STP sponsors some racecar drivers. You put a some graphics on your saying that your webserver runs on $HARDWARE and $SOFTWARE (very much like putting a decal on a racecar) and the vendor gives you the the equipment (possibly some $) and lists your website as bragging rights in adverts.
Actually, I don't see how traditional advertising works either. Coke is the king of sugar beverage ads. I rarely drink it.
Unless a product is new and unknown, I can't see any benefits of advertising.
I'm pretty ammune to advertisement, but you have to realize that there are a lot of knuckleheads out there who (apparently) love spending beyond their means just to keep up with the Jones's or to project the image they that television percieves the way they should be. Y'know, the one's who will get a flashy Lexus & snazzy condo, yet only make $40K a year. These advert execs are counting on them.
You scan a product with:CueCat. CueHack reads your scan, and checks Digital Convergence's database to see what URL you would have been sent to had you been using the normal:CueCat software. From this URL, it determines the domain name, usually somecompany.com. Then it does a Google web search for somecompany and a randomly chosen topic of potential interest - currently terms like "boycott," "corporate abuse," "profits," etc.
What's so impressive about this? It's far too random and anyone can just skip to the chase by going to google.com and doing a "boycott, etc." search without the bother of a cue-cat & this Win program.
For the most part, chasing after spammers is a waste of time. Just filtre it out with a script.
But on occasion, I get in a bad mood and decide that it's time for a lart.
Usually a lot of spammers will have their originating machine & e-mail address spoofed, but
they will have some sort of "Reply to" address on one of the many free web-based e-mail services.
Granted, you'll rarely catch spammers, but it does give a bit of satisfaction when you do this...
$mail spam-meister@yahoo.com < core
...a few hundred times and fill up those 6 megs of email space real quick.
(And cheating them out of any business, which they don't deserve.)
Not saying to improve the MP3 format (M$ doesn't own it), but they could improve from the player side. Why bother making something that's intentionally crappy?
The worst thing that a lot of dot-commers do is once they get some $ from Vulture^WVenture Capialists, they go and set up shop in some expensive, flashy office instead of getting a proper server farm and tech staff hired. They seem to forget that one of the benefits of having a web-based business is not needing to rent really pricey mall/office/storefront space. I'm a tech who knows squat about business, but I can figure that if you want to make a profit, cut back on any over-head that's not making revenue.
Urgh! These clowns should go back to selling used cars.
Sure, you'll be able to install another ripping software, but most con$umers are either too stupid or lazy to do such and would be more content to sit, drool, and do as the M$ paperclip tells them to.
Since Win Media Player will be the default player installed, most will blindly go with it. M$ knows this and is counting on it. What's the problem? It's that their Media Player will intentionally screw up MP3s, so the con$umer will naturally gravitate to M$'s preferred format. And I don't think that M$ will allow anyone to make a player for that format. If they do, they're gonna charge them like sin, which a small company can't afford.
There you have it. MickySoft's Embrace and Extinquish technique in full detail. Which, in the end and for everyone, has Mickysoft not only doing everything, but doing everything badly.
That's one of the core problems with M$. Instead of making better products for all sorts of formats/hardware/technology, etc., they're more content in fscking up something that's perfectly good. Why would M$ go through the trouble of intentianally making MP3s sound worse when they could be REAL technical pioneers and make something that's widely used even better?
Windows is bad enough the way it is. It's real nice to see that M$ is publically putting forth such great efforts to make their OS suck even more.
I'm sorry, but shouldn't companies try to improve their product?
I know that people have mentioned that a PDA doesn't need an xterm, but I think it would be handy for playing with shell, perl scripts, and c whilst waiting for a plane without having to bust out a laptop.
I'd really like to see the Amiga come back in a big way, like anyone else. But one feature that would be cool is not having to #halt or #shutdown -r now. Just flip the powerswitch. No worries about your OS and files getting thrashed.

This makes me tempted set up DB2, then take up Oracle on it's million dollar challenge

Hmmm... Build a battlebot, get said bot a juicy sponsorship, then take the money and buy new servers?
