nobody said that there was anything wrong with 'the law' (which one are you talking about anyway?)
The issue is if GPS is accurate enough to prove speed at a given point in time and whether or not this policy, if enforceable, violates laws governing personal privacy or not.
nickel psychology, I love it. I'm sure that if you investigate his behavioral history more closely, you will find that OZZY made him do it and not the porn OR video games, or perhaps Beavis and/or Butthead.
Or maybe you're just a doormat.
Dr. Laura called, she wants her show back...
I worked for their original PR company, which they unceremoniously dumped and did not make good on their payment agreement with. Suck that karma, good riddance.
I highly doubt that this will sound the death knell for Irix. It's a pretty powerful OS with some impressive capabilities. If anything this should help to promote the interoperability of Irix which should make it even more useful.
I've got a server room full of Linux file servers and a small force of SGI workstations along with an Origin server and trying to get them all to work and play well together has been a chore to say the least. Which is a shame because the capabilities and engineering in these Irix machines is an asset we have not been able to fully utilize because of these interoperability issues we've fought with.
I'm not frowning at all. I'm just hopeful this might lead to fixes for all those confounded NFS problems we've been fighting with for a few years now.
And depending on how things work out, we might be able to breath new life into older SGIs we've got that don't run the latest and greatest OS since their processors are no longer supported by the OS.
FYI - Irix can scale to 128 processors in an Origin. Check out http://www.sgi.com/origin/2000/index.html for data. And they don't have backplanes anymore. They use a modular midplane system in the Origins.
True but untrue. Apparently Lucas is airing limited showings of the movie beginning May 16 in selected cities to benifit charities. The tickets to these showings will not have any press or VIP passes. Tickets will range from $500 to $50,000 depending on extra pluses you buy (catered dinner affairs afterwards, etc). For the LA showings (I can't remember what theater though) the proceeds are to benefit the Glasser Pediatric AIDs foundation and there will (was?) 1,400 tickets available. They gave a socal number this morning to call to purchase tickets so I assume they've sold out already.

sure have it in for us consumernauts, sign me up for a gross! I simply cannot resist such precision wordsmithing.

Is it just me, or does that logo resemble half of Mickey Eisner's head looking into the sunset? Forgive my offtopicalitude.
