the ACLU had a pretty bad rap in the late 80's and early 90's for fighting for things many people in America disliked. (ACLU was anti school prayer, very pro abortion, I know there was others but I can't remember them) Basically getting into subjects that split the nation, and don't nessesarly have a definate constitutional mandate but simply an interpretation. Anyways, nowadays they tend to not be as extremly left wing as they used to be. But they havn't really tried to gain any PR with the middle line conservatives. Which they could do if they tried, but they arn't. Most conservatives have no idea that they have changed at all, and only recently have I figured this out myself. Though I'm still not quite sure if I should donate or not, as I used to think they were a bunch of jerks. So you know.

Hmm some of those raffles are a decent deal, lots of them are complete rip offs. The imac raffles, total amount of money apple makes $4000 equipment they give away $2000. Not horrible, but still pathedic, then you get down to the cheap stuff raffeling a $300 ipod for with 200 tickets at $8.95 a piece thats $1790 ekk. Anyways, they seem to imply that the extra money goes to charity, but still steep.
The article states that he bought from ebay a DVD player that had the region encoding hacked off of it (guess he didn't feel like he had the time to do it himself, shrugs) and will give a lengthy explanation on just how to do this yourself. This isn't btw a DVD player that has a secret region free feature, this was as I can best tell from the article a firmware hack.

HU? Government has the power to corrupt the market though. There is much talk of the government requiring DRM on the motherboard. So yes, nobody can force you to buy one of these motherboards, but eventually you will need to replace what you have. hopefully NOBODY will buy these new motherboards, and will just stick with what they have, till the computer manufactures come running to congress to change these laws for the good of the economy. But that isn't going to happen.
Ok, so how many moms (refering to the computer illiterate ones here not the geek moms) have ever installed windows themselves????? Most likly none. Its a factory installed deal, get over it.
Thats for the tip, definatly going to have to remember to install some app on the desktop to tell the ip address, definatly. (Assuming modem, hopefully it'll be static so no worry)
My computer find the swap partition What? Hu? Who? Nevermind. Mozilla works fine with hotmail (for now) except for a few odd things, like the select all messages checkbox doesn't work. Give her mozilla on windows first, see if she can get used to it.

AMD duplicated the input vs output of Intel while implimenting a system to achieve this other than how the patent describes I believe. But if the patent is broad enough programming a vertex in 3d rendering, not very easy to get around. Sure there are way of rendering the exact same scene without using vertex programming, but its slow.
Why is this +5 interesting? This is about a patent, there is no such thing as clean room for getting around a patent. You copy its implimentation you've broken the patent simple as that (unless you can prove prior art and all that)
No, I'm talking about creationalistic evolution, meaning the very beginning, were we have no idea how it really got started. It would be nice for them to admit that there is even the remotest possibility that some intelligence got it all started, instead of just implying that everyone who thinks that is a possibility is a flaming lunatic thats all.
When I hear a scientist talking about science, I expect that he will confine his remarks to science. Yes, but its the very personal attack on the very idea that creationalist evolution might have happend. I understand that fact that scientist can't ever study such a hypothesis until they have eliminated every other possibility. But I don't see it as right for either group to attack eachother, instead of saying, sure its possible, but I personally am not inclined to believe it.
"ln addition to the theory of evolution, meaning the idea of descent with modification, one may also speak of the fact of evolution."
Wrong, it Depends upon which part of evolution your refering to, thats like saying the fact of physics. We do have "laws" of physics, and some parts of which are fact, and some parts are mearly speculation. Its always amazed me that way too many people who are adament about evolution refuse to believe that large parts of it may be wrong. (We definatly havn't come close to proven evolution cross kingdom (as in bacteria->animal))
"If humans descended from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?"
Which he goes on to explain. Personally I've always viewed the other way around as if evolution happends why are there huge gaps between different species instead of a diverse color wheel of all possibilities. (Obviously excluduing the ones that wern't the fittest) But it seemed to me there would be more species that there are if evolution happend, not less.
Anyways, most of his points I agreed with, but it still annoys me when scientist refuse to accept even the possibility that some intelligence got everything started.
You'd probably let your 16 year old neighbor watch you kids for the day (assuming you kids arn't newborns). Would you ever give your 16 year old neighbor your credit card number? Think about it! As the 16 year old would most likly never dream of hurting the kid, and would have many many taughts about using your credit card number.

Only 30 years, thats almost nothing honestly. Lets say we send a probe to go there and back. In just 33 (assuming 3 years for the signal to get back) years we'd have major knowlege of another solar system. We sent our probes to pluto 30 years ago, why would we do any different today.
