I wonder what their insurance is like? They have the rocket landing somewhere near Quebec City. I don't think Quebec knows or ready. This could be more interesting then I thought.
There are a lot of things you have to do before you go to U of W. You need to write the Euclid, the Newton, if you got more then 80% in my high school chem class you could write another test to get credit on first term chem. Most of them aren't hard (except the chem one) and are not manditory. Its easy shit. This C# thing is just like that; a pre-test. It will be nothing more then programming a C64 at overnight camp to play Centipede. Though there is still something off about the whole deal.
We all know how this is going to pan out; as it always does. Home computing and personal computers got its start and billionaires got their visions from the Altair 8800, which was taken up by hobbyists. The internet was cool, but didn't take off until the geeks came marching in and turned it into something useful. But after some time and when business catch on it goes commercial, like flying, like radio, like tv, like computers, like the internet, and eventually like Wi-Fi. And to add, it will be AOL and Microsoft pitching for who will own the wireless internet.
Count my words. f^@$ the FCC they don't control it any more they just legitimize the powerfull.
Post your rays. I haven't seen the great art work of the ray tracer since back in university. Only the nerd of nerds had their own home brewed ray traces. Post it up...
Ya I named my cat Linus, he is all white with blue eyes and ponders a lot. He is shit at writing any code mind you. I've tried, but all I get is lines of garbage; mkl65r123xgfop][. It doesn't seem to compile. Maybe he needs a kitty compiler? (I think I found the next 'Ask Slashdot' question)
If ever there was a convention, letting everyone have their say would have to go right out the window.
For many of us we make rare apperiences and spend a lot of time enjoying others banter. I think the mix of activists, case modders, opensource purests, people selling their latest and greatest, negatives, positives, coders, users, etc would be like any other convention but we would be spending our time celebrating all of it instead of selling one point of it and hiding the rest for the sake of X Inc. This doesn't mean we have to all speak at the same time the same way I can't read all of the different types of posts on the same page.
Don't be scared. I am sure if it were to ever come about you would find yourself surounded by warm, fun, well informed (maybe a stretch) people like yourself. Embrace and extend;p
Coward, I'm not trolling. I just don't like the fact that people pan-off all of these ideas for helping the "developing world" with what amounts to trinkets. Sure a windup radio would help people listen to the radio where there is no access to electricity. Sure, fine, it works. LEDs, great. But this isn't going to solve the problems that not only have put these people into this situations but also keeps them there, like war, like poverty, like the West sucking them dry.
Who the hell cares about LEDs when you don't know where your next meal is going to come from or in constant fear that the local warlord, backed by covertly funded arms, is going to drag your husband out and kill him for standing up to an oil company.
It is too easy to say, "oh ya LEDs are great and are going to help these poor souls". What will help these poor souls is much harder and more involved. If you think otherwise I will have to resign you to being perverted. You could then troll the "Poor people with trinket" sites.
deepfry, the "developing world" doesn't need LEDs; they need food, a place to live without a war every ten minutes, and to have the West stop robbing them whenever they get a chance. Shit if it was LEDs they needed... we could have stopped all of the poverty, hunger and premature death ages ago.
Light is not a wave. To those lacking any quantum electro dynamics (QED) experience, read this book.
The jist is that the lower the intensity of light is related to less light, less photons. You can break light down to *one* photon for very little light (or one light). When we break down light we find that the photon meter reacts less ofton or only once if we shoot one photon. If our eyes were a tad better at sensing light we could actually see a photon as a single particle, not a wave.
The wave theory came about pre-QED since there was no better way to explain some of the "strange" effects. This *is* weird shit and those that think that LIGHT of all things could be easily explained with the bullshit of the duality theroy don't give the Universe enough credit for forming things more complex and imaginative.
I think two slits should not be included as a beautifull experiment if it is making so many people believe the regurgitated crap their high school physics teacher got them to memorize. (As Ms. Kerbopal would say "HA!")
I'm on the other end of ""in a message sent......I asked you to..." IT, corporate, and sales send a lot of email and it becomes imposible to keep track of everything that they want you to do or not do. I am to the point where I skim very quickly anything that they send. I am expecting an email any time for one of them saying ""in a message sent......I asked you to..." and all I can say is "f?(k-you".
If your are correct, that the RIAA will lose revenue because you and others are being treated like a thieft, then fine. Revenues will keep falling until they figure it out. Who cares if Universal makes more or less because of "their spin"? I don't and am sure you don't either. Let them lose and keep losing.
I think it an opportunity for others to fill the void, maybe open up a few more choices for bands to sign with.
Sometimes it is more important to take the sword then it is to avoid it. Look your master in the eye and tell him to eat shit. Free your mind. I think this dude doesn't like the system that he is locked into and is expressing it as best he can. The justice system is his as much as it is the guv's. Most of the time I spend on/. is reading the whacked out nature of the system from Congress to the FBI to the district courts to the suprem court. To have a crazy defendent seems only natural.
You are not allowed to patent fact, in my small understanding. For example, c^2=a^2+b^2 can not be patented, since it is taken as fact. Another more simple example is you can't patent the fact that we see the sky is blue. In the case of DNA, it too is fact. You can patent the process to finding DNA, but that should be all. Clinton opened the flood gates when he allowed the patenting of DNA. It was like opening up the west to homesteaders. All of a sudden this relm of fact could now be patented, though only a small area of it.
Some conspiracy theorists see this as a move by the US, which holds much of the capability to find DNA combinations, to try and corner the lucrative market of owning this fact. The US holds a lot of power with its patent office and most of the world regards it as the gate keeper as well as fear the Patent Office since the US holds a big stick to protect it's patent system.
The patenting of fact looks much like the DMCA when held up to the light.
Canadians have enjoyed the rights to simultaneous rebroadcast not just in the home, but to the public, for as long as I can remember. Has a lot to do with our geography and people not wanting to front the money to communicate with rurals. It spills out in the best of ways.

I call shotgun!
So how does one vote? I see the candidates, but no info on actually voting. Anyone know?

How much did IBM pay you to say?, "Cool part is that it's based on Websphere". How much for, "MS SQL Server has come along way".

If you don't agree with me ask Richard Feynman

I am using the shell fire screensaver to keep the God fearing away from my system. It helps keep local root exploits to a minimum.

Another good reason to keep using lynx.

Merry Christmas everyone and have a great New Year!

There has been a lot of crying about the degridation of speech through alternative forms, like code. Today we don't have to cry. Tomorrow? Ehh.
The networks also complained that technology in the personal video recorder can automatically strip out commercials.
I guess my fridge and shitter should be considered in the same catagory.
Does anyone know if Dru is married? There is something special about a FreeBSD babe. :4P
