    Your thinking about Quantum computing, not DNA computing, totally different technologies. But anyways even with Quantum your assumtion isn't totally correct.

    Well we arn't in the same domain.
    As Newtons laws are accurate, but only the the domain of speeds not approaching c.
    As Moore's laws are acurate, but as thing have definatly changed since the creation of Moore's law it is almost accurate to say we exist in a different domain. .. Ohhh nevermind..

  3. Re:A great step in the right direction on Online Voting? · · Score: 1

    Just curious, when you turned to the online system did you leave the non-online system still available, did you also give people the same amount of time to vote before the online system? This just reminded me of what my community college did this year, they went to a computerizes/phone system for registration, while completly eliminating being able to register in person, they also shortened the window to be able to register from more then a month to about 2 weeks, then registration just stops being available way too early, (classes start the 28th registration closed on the 4th) then you have to wait for registration to reopen a week before classes start (on 21st) and pay a late fee :) And they don't understand why attendence is down. Sorry for the rant.. just needed to bitch... (score -1: offtopic)

    read this posting basically a judge can rule a law unconstitutional in thier juristiction. Ie a district judge effects a district, a circuit judge covers a circuit (which usually covers several states). And the supreme court can make a law unconstitutional for the whole country.

  10. Re:Sick of RIAA and Napster on RIAA Responds to Napster - Raises Serious Questions · · Score: 2

    That is absolutly not true.
    Fact: Sales in record stores near colleges are down.
    This also is not a direct cause effect relationship. As you cannot prove that record sales by college students themselves are down unless a seperate study is done on that matter. There are two important facts to remember when considering the previous fact.

    Fact: more and more college students are living farther distances from college (it would be interesting to see a graph over a long period of time of college record sales to see if there has been a steady decline in the amount it increased every year previous to this years decreasement.)

    Fact: College students tend to buy many things online, CDs included. If all the major online record sales companies could look in their database to see all the 20 somethings in college towns and include say 80% of that figure into the total college record sales. Would be another interesting figure.

    So anyways, anyone up for another study??

  11. Re:Can't do jack. on CNET And MozOffice: Mountains And Molehills? · · Score: 3

    Accually, I've talked to the maintainer of said website, and suppositivly, the reporter accually did contact him with questions regarding the mozoffice suite. The only problem is that while James Russel spoke in speculative terms and stated that the product hasn't even had an ounce of code yet, especially as StarOffice hasn't even been released yet. While the article simply kinda forgot to mention that part.

  14. Re:The author has a point on Suck Says Mozilla Is Dead · · Score: 1

    Of course I was talking about Netscape 6 beta1. But that is how all the netscape 6+ browsers are planning on working. The nightlies don't include such features for many seperate reasons (mainly simplicity as there is a new one almost everyday) Just for fun download the netscape 6 beta1 installer from
    link

    You don't nessesarly need to try the browser itself (it sucked) but the idea of the installer is that you can choose how much of the kitched sink you download. Atleast the windows english version, I think the linux version was the complete thing though.

  15. Re:not fud on Suck Says Mozilla Is Dead · · Score: 2

    Well hate to say it, while it may have been 2 years from the time netscape released 4.x, it took about a year for the mozilla team to finally bury the ghost and start from scatch. Anyways Necko landed around July 8th, thats where I would really say the current project started. And it should finish sometime around the end of 2000. Maby its just me but there is alot currently to show for only a years worth of development. And just wait and see what is out by the end of this year.

    Wow, you have absolutly no clue, did you ever try NSbeta1?? For the NS releases you simply download an installer program (less than 100K) It ask you what components you want, it downloads only those components you want and installs them. For the people who want to keep a copy for deploying over a network, you can download the whole thing.

    No his/her point was that if you created an easy auto upgrader you wouldn't have to deal with making a webpage for older versions, as they can be made to automatically phase themselves out, as apposed to netscape 3.0 which took almost 3 years post netscape 4.0 to dissapear, hopefully it won't take the same amount of time for 4.x to dissapear.

    HEHe Read note from top. "Please note, the dates for M17 on this document are incorrect. It is unlikely that M17 will be released earlier than two weeks from today. These dates will be updated shortly."
    Now why the date itself was never changed is beyond me. You also have to realize that the M17 release is also going to coincide with the NSBeta2 release. So they wanted to make sure it was good, as public impressions will be based upon it.
