No,
people do not care because their opinions are not listened to by goverment. Why vote when the candidate who won the popular vote does not get the job? What part of the last presidential election did you miss?
The goverment is not the people, it never has been. You think that congreesmen/senators are just regular people doing a job? It's a ruling class, look at how many career politicans and sons of politicans are on the hill?
Nearly every citizen does want change! Speak to your colleagues/friends very few of them are happy with the current system. The question is how do you change, you vote! Ahh back to square one were the current system does not listen to the vote of the public.
It's not just you, but the people vetting the questions do not give credit to their readers. Go ahead think of a tough techie type question, submit it and watch it get rejected.
In sailing circumnavigation is defined as crossing through the same start finish point and also the point of the earths surface you get by drawing a straight line from your start point through the center of the earth.
Steve Fossett would know this due to the fun he's had with his PlayStation.
Easy to write device drivers! Hmmm, for some prehaps but for most of us it's not. Next time you need a new piece for your car I hope the mechaninc points you to a lathe.
Uhh we have a crook in the oval office and you want the goverment to tighten up the very laws they've just relaxed. Which presidential candidate do you think used Enrons corporate jet for campaigning?
I see the seeds of a revolution lets just hope it's bloodless.
I was thinking about doing exactly the same thing, a common thought?
But the idea of using it just to find business within a certain radius is very limited thinking.
Mobile phones will soon be broadcasting their position. You want interactive guided tours of a city? How about playing full size monopoly? Driving directions? Any sign you currently see could be removed and replaced with a virtual sign? Any number of VR worlds played out in meat space? etc etc
I think that the ability to automatically tell someone where you are will prove to be a boon.
Kudos to the developer for carrying through, rather than my lazy ass postulating:-)
My thoughts is that you should set up a server to run everything, users would connect with either xterms or VNC.
Get people used to Open/Star Office on their own machines and slowly start migrating people to the server. For most business people star office has everything so you don't need to run a desktop or WM just straight into staroffice from login.
Your company will eventually have a centralised machine that makes it a breeze for security/backup/admin work.
Transmeta in Santa Clara has a certain employee who would probably do at a push. Linus Torvalds. O'Reilly publishing in Sebastapool has an owner who might be intersted. Tim O'Reilly. If you're going to get a talking head choose ESR over RMS. Better still get John 'MadDog' Hall.
It all depends on what type of show you are planning, an intelligent discussion or a FOX special? With your emphasis on 'vocal' I guess a slanging match is the best we can hope for?
IMHO, a better approach would be to get people who use Open Source products, get them to explain what they do and then how OS helps them and lastly how much it's benefited their respective company.
Title? how about, "Boring Computer Stuff...Again!" Not that many people outside of techs are going to be interested in people talking about software, yawn.
Lastly, if you really want to do NPR a favour get Michael Moore, Bill O'Reilly, Larry Ellison & Scott McNealy on the same show.
No,
but running mame and then playing all the old arcade standards is very neat. Plus the DC games are still very playable. That's what I did and I've been very pleased with results.
Nothing, in fact it may be the way things progress, but at the moment nobody is interested. Maybe the/. readership is, as I am, but Joe Public will not give up gasoline anymore than the Bush family is going to give up the oil business.
I'm just off to research if anyone has done something like this, living next to the ocean it might be worth my while:-) What's the most efficient way to turn hydrogen into electricity?
gasoline as a liquid doesn't burn. It evaporates to a gas and explodes just like hydrogen. In fact for the same quantity gasoline has more energy to release than gunpowder. I'm not sure how it compares to hydrogen.
If you puncture your gas tank there's a good chance an explosion is exactly what you're going to get. The explosion will happen inside the fuel tank dramatically raising the pressure, let's call it a bomb.
A bowl of hydrogen disperses so quick it's not funny, you probably couldn't pour hydrogen into a bowl it would quickly rise, being lighter than air.. I suggest you research a bleve(sp) fire. Burning Liquid Expanding Vapour to see how safe gasoline is?

Wrong...
the majority of people do not vote. That says nothing for the status quo and everything about the state of politics and goverment.
The US is currently mirroring the last days of Rome how long before baby bush gets out the fiddle?

who modded this up?

I believe you're mistaken.
To my knowledge the FS is not a database, it's still tree based. It used to be very flat but not any more.
The AS/400 is a database programmers dream though. Very easy to create tables and their associated maintenance programs.
How much I agree :-)
I couldn't care less for color. Mono or greyscale would be fine. No need to be lit. Must be 1024x768 though.
Decent keyboard with decent pointer ala IBM.
No sound. Ethernet is a must, prehaps via a slot.
Solid state, no drives.
Long, long, long battery life. I'm talking days at the very least.
Cost under $300.

I think they're exothermic. Otherwise there'd be no cooling problems?
Oh please mod this up and pretend you have a clue :-)

RTFQ he's already using sculpey, he wants something better.
Well you're not in charge, thank god. But if I need a PHB I know who to call :-)
'Alternatively, you could abide by the law....'
Just like you do?
Solaris on notebooks, hah, not even Sun reps use Solaris on their notebooks.

I can see why you no longer program for a living!
Ok being the paranoid scitzo I am.
How soon before we learn that Lycoris is funded by M$?
The first OO language was available in '67!
It's really scary that it took a good twenty years to become widespread in industry.
Let's hope that AOP doesn't take as long.
