They just want it to be done in the proper way through the proper channels. IBM are cool with this sort of thing so the service would probably end up being more timely and have better access to specifications.
Yeh - apple aust are a very backward bunch of people. There is absolutely no serious attempt for the consumer market. I reckon it is because there is no infrastructure to validate warrantee on a huge installbase. They make big fat profits from the professional market here in thier elite franchises and seem to be happy with that. Too bad really - I would rather be typing and making music on a mac.
Dont be silly. It was riveting and everyone I know thought so. Your opinon is just that, your opinion. The plot was great you just dont like it cause it was anti tech and Rasta. Keanu has his own style and put everything he had into that movie (yes I know this cause I had friends working on it). The whole thing was like a meditation for him. The new ones will be better and bigger from what I have heard from those on set (but that is all they will say) and the philosophical elements are drawn out. I am sick of slashdot readers. It is easy to gather Karma from shitting on the brilliant work of other.
The problem with silly things like this being given publicity and put into the general "crazy conspiracy theory" basket is that it creates a habbit of people to assume that anything that is contrary to what the government says as also being in that crazy basket.
For example you make a big deal about this obviously false argument, then you cast, say those opposed to civil rights violation due to anti-terrorism legislation into the same basket, then some people could judge it in that light. It might not be complete but it may be enough of a doubt or discouragment to stop them taking action in the form of protest.
I think silly things like this just deflect attention from the real issues with current government.
Members of the Deaf community are huge on SMS. It was a revolution for the whole scene. I reakon a better solution would be to give them easier ways to enter SMS messages quickly without needing a PDA. dont know how but it wouls still need to be small. HI people ?
Good point and it is difficult to tell what his connection to corporate USA is, however due to the fact that the current republican party is thought by many respected analyists to be nothing more than front for corporate interests, I just assumed that sucking up to.gov = sucking up to.com.
>The price matches, but the quality I can get for a given price increases dramatically. When I go to Best Buy and plunk down my hard-earned 13 USD for an album with 13 songs on it, I want 13 songs I like, not three. The way I see it, these CDs will be four times cheaper than[1] the CDs I can buy at Best Buy.
Only three tracks - Looks like someone buys way too many Britany albums!
I know several east Germans who are horrified at what has happened to their society under democracy - or DemonKrazy as they call it. They complain that the beauty of their culture has been ruined by money-lust.
Very well said! The good old USA dont get it that the rest of the world is scared shitless of them - and not because of their defense of self determination.
I think it is more likely that MS will have a word to their staff in Congress to have a word to the Australian Foreign affairs department, who would be requested to alter copyrigh laws to "fall in line" with legal standards required in a global market.

Good point about arcserve, i would say that the combination of arcserve and the complexity of 4+ releases were what slowed Novells growth. It is still a better performer than anything else on the same hardware just doing file and print serving. It just doesnt run apps very well.
Yes Lucas has been quite clear about that in interviews, he borrowed from many traditions, including Hindu, Bhuddist and Sufi - all popular eastern philosophical systems. And Sufiism shares a common root with Judeo Christian (good vs bad).
My critique comes from the common theme within eastern philosophy. The crux of which is that consciousness (that which is aware) is the ultimate reality of the universe and common to all people (what well know western philosopher carl yung would call collective uncouscious). It is the ultimate root of all things. Mind (that is the faculty of storing information and bringing that information into consciousness) is the outcrop of the consciousness recoiling upon itself and developing ego (sense of individual self) which is fine. But when the mind becomes more and more interested in its own existence and forgets the ultimate reality which is its root it gets into trouble. In Hindu and Bhuddist philosophy the entire material world is created by this process. Again according to eastern thought through Meditation and DETACHMENT the mind is gradually turned away from the world (while still functioning in it) and back toward the source of everything - in the east called Brahmin in the west God. Of course if you had have just had a look at the book list i posted you could have figured out wher my critique came from - but who has the time. If you are intersted and are really as uniformed as you innocently appear (giving you benfit of doubt of not being a troll) check out a small book called the Viveka Chundamani (crest jewel of discrimination) translated by Chris Isherwood or the Supreme Yoga by Venkatesananda. They really had thought about lots of stuff.
It is amazing that a professional, fairly unsuccessful publisher (compared to Lucas) would write an article such as this, attacking lucas' philosophical knowledge without any himself.
In fact Lucus' treatment of the guidence of Yoda and the problems inherent with the darkside is spot on. It is also very difficult to communicate visually, and lucas does it well in episode 5 and 2.
A Message to Mr Brin "Hello, Read the Bhagavad-Gita, readthe Tao Te Ching, read the Ramayana, the teachings of an enlightened Buddah, hell you will even find this in the Bible or the writings of Sephen Covey."
The message of attachment is simple and its understanding is the purpose of eastern philosophical / spiritual study. As a writer he should know this and as such that makes his articles on of the typical Salon cheap shots.
I guess we cannot really call plot holes plot holes until we see all the films, however i am willing to give Brin the benefit of the doubt on that and assume most of the holes will still be there after Ep3.
However he writes in his Phantom critique: "Uh... will anyone please explain why the Sith Lord and Trade Federation risk everything to capture a teeny periphery planet? Can we have a clue why Naboo was important -- any hint at all? Hello? "
The simple answer to this is that Naboo is the home planet of Senator Palpatine and as such is an environment he can control and benefit directly from when it is suffering. By bringing Naboo into the big galactic picture he also brings himself into the picture.
Really, in the scheme of things, at the moment, why should any company care about Linux drivers. THere is no money in it. For most big companies Linux is a server operating system that some people have adapted to the desktop. If ATI can have the choice of a team of programmers hacking away at the Linux driver, or optimising the Windows driver what do you think any manager would choose. (that is any manager who wants to stay employed). Write your own drivers oh linux gamer
Does anybody else experience an urge to vommit with 3D games. I dont play much at all but picked up a cheap version of Quake 2 at Kmart the other day. I played it three days and noticed that I had constant nausia for hours after playing. Also every time i closed my eyes or let my mind wander I could see myself navigating through the maze.
Very fishy. I deleted the game and snapped the CD in two so i would not be tempted.
I would be suprised if it was not referred to as terrorism. Every state that was persuing its own form of military expansionism throughout recent history has referred to any group or individual that opposes them as "terrorists". THe definition of terrorism is "calculated use of violence or threat of violence to attain goals that are political, religious, or ideological in nature". It was used by the Nazis, the Japanese and even the good old English when refering to the US coloial uprisings. Being from somewhere else in the world it is painfully obvious that the US has no interest in peace in the middle east but rather to control the oil. A simple concept but despite its terrible implications, one that is easily ignored by most people, including myself. The counterinsurgency employed by the US in south america was just what they refer to by other countries as terrorism. Just feel lucky you live in the US and not anywhere else.

Just look at apple as a great example of shareholders stuffing everything up through lack of understanding of the market.
mostly through featuring in the hit moving picture Terminator 2
I cant really imagine anyone else doing it well enough.
Thanks - that was a good read. If I had some points I would Mod you up.
