I heard that the production costs of Angel were astronomical, what with all of the exotic sets, often used only once. Plus the large ensemble cast has to add up.
Norton is worse than any worm or virus when installed on your system (just try to get rid of it). But I'd love it if Norton would ship with a bootable GUI emergency CD like they do for the Mac.
Once a president is out of office, all of his presidential e-mails sent will be sent to the national archives for everyone to see. Even if Clinton sent priivate e-mail to his daughter, it would become public record.
And as Oliver North learned the hard way, the White House backs-up all e-mail.
I don't mean this as a slur to Clinton (I have plenty of those); paper is a lot easier to shred. I don't blame Clinton at all for avoiding e-mail.
It's sad that a president can't count on private electronic communication.
However, the geekier cavemen may have won out at the end. The article goes on to say: '...evolution eventually favored a lighter skull to accommodate a heavier and larger brain'."
I disagree with the premise that those homo erecti with larger brains were necessarily geeks. Being smart doesn't make one a geek and being a geek doesn't make one smart. Some geeks a smart, some are dumb.
Some smart people are cool and stylish and date lots of girls and hate computers and Star Trek and LOTR.
The Chronicle for Higher Education linked a story not too long ago that said just this: Easier, or grade-inflating professors tend to be rated higher, whereas challenging professors tend to be rated lower.
It's like the mom who gives her kid candy: "My mom is cool."
Is that all they do is complain, but provide no answers to human rights violators.
They are against Nixonian engagement (trade with China), against embargos/sanctions (Cuba), and against military intervention to overthrow murderous dictators (Iraq).
Too bad Amnesty just likes to whine and doesn't have any solutions.
You don't need a PhD in English to know it's Big Brother. Read the book. The commercial alludes to "1984."
Obviously, Big Brother is on the screen, representing...Bill Gates.

A technician hired by the new judiciary chairman, Patrick Leahy, Democrat of Vermont, apparently made a mistake that allowed anyone to access newly created accounts on a Judiciary Committee server shared by both parties -- even though the accounts were supposed to restrict access only to those with the right password.

Personally, I am going with the Ashcroft Internet Security Suite. That way, I know only the NSA will be reading my stuff.
Enterprise is the first Trek series since the original that I have liked. I know it might be heresy, but I hated the others (TNG, etc.), which I thought too campy and silly.
I do thik the writing is inconsistent, and plotlines die off like neadertals (so, are Trip and T'Pol gonna make it or what? Whatever happened to the Space Delta Force guys?) But overall, I like the cast and their mission.
One major problem is that it competes directly with two hit shows - That 70's Show and Smallville. A move to another time slot might help.
Apple used to have a big (in size, not storage) network/hard-drive called Corvus. You could get all passwords, including admin, doing the RAM dump of a connected Apple ][. Random chars just spill all over the green CRT, similar to The Matrix. Once in, you could wipe the whole Corvus volume.
I basically came as close as one possibly can to being expelled (private school) without actually being kicked out. I had to do some fast talking to save my arse. Fortunately, it was like 3 weeks to graduation and the priests running the place were clueless about computers!
There wasn't any law back then (1985) which could possibly be applicable to my shenanigan. Kids definitely have it tougher today!
all the cycles that RealPlayer steals, whether running or not. A cycle here, a cycle there, it all adds up to a sluggish fat cow of an OS. Mine is pared down to the minimum. To be fair, Quicktime runs - or tries to run until you set it otherwise via MSCONFIG - 24-7 in the background too.
But the matter is well-settled by the Supreme Court, i.e., that the Bill of Rights does not attach to non-citizens outside of the territory of the United States.
Don't you think there is a reason that the (non-American) war on terror detainees are in a camp in a leased base in Cuba? Clearly, the Bush Administration did its legal research on the issue.
...until you are actually admitted into the US (hence, Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay). Assuming you are already an American citizen (which I am, since you say "our borders"), "our" civil liberties will be unaffected since only travelers from 28 foreign countries are to be fingerprinted - and the US is not one of those 28, obviously.
I can't believe people think that travelers from other countries shouldn't have to verify their identities before entering the United States.
Bush critics criticize him for not doing enough on the war on terror, while simultaneously criticizing him for doing too much.

1) I haven't seen too much evidence of israeli involvement, but I think there are lots of interesting things one could say both about this and in comparison of israel v. iraq in their handling of UN resolutions. Since the US administration's stance seems to be 'israel good, other middle eastern places bad' this could be called heresy in the states, but probably not in other places...
This is exactly what is wrong with the UN. There is no moral equivalence between the murderous dictator Saddam, and Israel, a democracy which is trying to cling to a mere.0015% of the land mass in the Middle East, which is apparently too much for the Palestinisans - and the UN and Jimmy Carter.
More to your point, the UN - and it's joke of a "Security Council" - is simply chock-full of fanatical, Islamic states which outnumber Israel and bully it. The UN is flawed in two major ways. First, it gives equal power and legitimacy to evil, dictatorial regimes as it does to democracies. Second, it has no checks on Tocqueville's tyrrany of majority (like the US Bill of Rights) to protect minority states like Israel from bullies, which the UN is comprised of. In this light, what should Israel do when it is attacked by terrorists, just lie down in the fetal position and surrender (or go into the sea, as every Arab member of the UN would like)?
Of the 175 United Nations Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel. The U.N. was silent while 58 Jerusalem synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians. The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians destroyed 58 Jerusalem Synagogues and systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives. The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians prevented Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.
This anti-Israel stance of the UN is a natural consequence of its membership structure. 21 members of the UN are Arab countries, and 52 members represent Islamic countries. Since the Arab Israeli conflict is represented as a religious conflict (see article) Israel as the only Jewish state has no chance for a fair hearing in the UN.
By the way, anyone who even pays the slightest amount of lip-service to the crackpot Israel-9/11 (or "Bush knew") conspiracy theories should be automatically be dismissed into the "eccentric" category that the parent article discusses.
Nobody would like to see MS get a whoopin' like me, but let's be realistic; MS is one of the largest, richest companies in the world. If Gates wanted to, he could by up every Linux company with pocket change (although he might have Justice Dept. attorneys all over him).
The point is, when you have Bahrain's GDP sitting in the bank, that makes one very hard to "tipover." I put a little more credence into what financial analysts are saying than some Inquirer opinion.
And isn't the real battlegound desktops?
I do hope, as the article suggests, that Linux does force some MS price reductions.

No, anecdotal evidence doesn't destroy anything. Every rule has its exception.
Just because you vote with integrity has no bearing on what everyone else does.
