  1. Re:Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox on Netscape 7.2 To Be Released August 3rd · · Score: 1

    the mozilla net installer has this. While it does include some unnessesary code, just installing the browser isn't all that large. Mozilla I believe is still planning on truly integrating firefox and thunderbird and whatnot, so that having them all installed seperatly will interact just like the monolithic mozilla. When this integration is complete, expect to see a single installer like the one you are asking for.

    I guess it varies state by state. The only thing true federally, is that individual states make the rules, and use those rules to pick electoral college representatives.

    You should still go and vote. Vote for a third party canidate. If there is none, write a name in, or something. This way its counted as a vote for neither, and potentially, just maybe, neither canidate will get 50% of the vote. Forcing a runoff in many states.

  5. No scraping the betamax. on Hatch Pushes INDUCE Act · · Score: 1

    I read her testimony she never states that we should scrape the betamax case. She does compare current trials to it, and states how p2p networks don't fit within the case. And states that had Sony willingly advertised the VCR as a way to copy copywrited works, it may have come out the other way.

    Hmm Mary states that Aimster was created and named after it use of the AOL IM network. I thought this was the common thought but infact not the actual truth.

    Do not, I repeat do not invest thousands of dollars for floor demos, have one computer for demo, and make that the same computer you do inventory and crap on (of course secure the hell outta that part of it, perferably keep the confidential info on a removable harddrive, or on the network, and keep it disconnected for demo use) put the top items you want to sell on it. Thats it, don't even think about carraying an inventory of more that what you are going to sell in the next week, shelf life for computer parts are horrifically bad.

  8. Re:Question on the cutting on 3D Printing in Stone, or Copy a Sculpture in Rock · · Score: 1

    Lasers are often used for engraving small type or image lines into stone, and possibly for making finished details. But the laser cuts a very thin line very slowly it would take forever to cut through stone where a diamond tipped cutter would do it much, much faster.

    They are planning on releasing a full range of benchmarks. They just wanted to get something out quick. And they choose the highest end I guess.

  12. Re:it's all RELATIVE on Congress Cuts NASA's Budget On Apollo Anniversary · · Score: 1

    But should the ultimate goal be to have the highest tax revenue, or the highest GDP. Personally I think it would be the later, as a high GDP statistically always has shown an overall increase in the standard of living. Now of course extremly high GDP with a 0 tax bracket would be silly as the government can't provide any services, but then again, without a stable goverment your not going to have a high GDP. So its more of a balancing act that just the one curve, its more where do the two curves meat.

    Sorry for the messup in last post, copy pasting hell :)

    Well the thought is that decreased taxes, actually increases total tax revenue. Suppositivly it has worked in the past. But definatly hasn't been proven.
    According to

    t otal gross tax revenue did go down in 2003, but still were higher than in 1999 but remember earning were way down that year too. So it will be interesting to see figures for 2004 and 2005. But time will only tell you know.

  18. Re:Using mobile chips in a desktop on Two New AMD Mobile Chips Launched · · Score: 1

    What I meant was that you could buy faster non mobile chips than you can buy mobile chips. Fastest mobile athlong 64 out right now seems to be the 3200, though quite surprising is the fact that it only cost 2 dollars more that the non mobile 3200. So yea if your going 3200, mobile all the way.
