Bah. I won't make any claims about what you know about running a desktop, but Win2K runs well with 64megs, and very well with 128megs. Yes RAM is cheap these days, but I was just trying to show how he could upgrade his computer without even needing to spend more money (yes, I realize what I just said).
I agree with you. But if you have 128megs of ram (or even 64), I would strongly recommend upgrading to Windows 2000, for the stability alone. A P2 266/300/350 with Win2K is a fine machine.
The advantages of having 2 discrete devices far outweights the benefits of convergence in this case.
The advantages of having 2 empty pockets far outweighs the disadvantage of having your pants around your ankles because you're carrying too many freakin' 'discrete' devices.
Warez. No seriously. If it wasn't for the Commodore Club at my local community center, I'd probably never have gotten into computers. The ability to borrow software for a week at a time was a great boon to my learning more about computers.
Does every cell phone need a static IP so all the teenagers can show off to their friends?
You want entire cellphone networks to run via DHCP? What's so hard to understand, if we have billions of objects that need to be uniquely identified, after all, that's what an IP address does, then we need billions of IP addresses.
And a CD does cost about $20, but should it? It costs much less for it to be produced.
I thought about the same thing. What I thought though, was that if you are stealing software, that means the company didn't have to pay for manufacturing, shipping and distribution, so actually, of it was worth $50 in the store and you stole it online, shouldn't manufacturing, shipping and distribution be removed from the value of the price?
In the course of prosecuting piracy we have found servers containing over 20,000 titles of pirated software, movies, music and games. The value of the copyrighted material on servers like this is frequently in the millions of dollars.
Hmm...if each item on the server was worth $50 dollars it would come up to a million dollars. But we all know that a DVD costs $30 and a CD costs $20, and I bet you a big chunk of those 20,000 titles are individual songs.
This is exactly the sort of absurd figure the original question was talking about.
Hmm, let me see, how many people go on the web every day looking for apple (the fruit)? How many people go on the web looking for apple (the record label of beattles fame)? Now how many go on the web to search about apple (the computer)? For Christ's sake, I don't even OWN or USE an apple computer but I end up on their site at least once every other month. Maybe there's a REASON why apple (the computer) dominates apple as a keyword, maybe its the same reason that using the search word 'windows' has a whole bunch of microsoft crap before you find anything to do with fenstration.
He used spare CD-ROM motors to fully automate it. Not as classy as this one (it throws the completed CDs onto a chair), but works just as well...and he even wrote queuing software for it. I have a videoclip of it somewhere...
Protected A, B, C: Any information that can negatively affect or harm an individual. For example, phone lists and such are Protected A, while medical records would be Protected B, and a psychological profile might be Protected C.
Confidential, Secret, Top Secret: While protected works at individual level, C/S/TS works at the the army as a whole. The more damage it can cause to the military if information is revealed, the higher it goes. And it's the same as the US, in fact I think most if not all NATO countries us the same thing.
Bonus ones: COSMIC, ATOMAL, etc: These ones aren't discussed in public very much. COSMIC TOP SECRET is used by NATO countries, while ATOMAL is used by the US for restricted date.
Misc: CANUSUK, NATO, etc...: Canadian/UK/US eyes only, restricted to NATO countries only. There a whole pot pourri of other classifications.
As a clerk in the forces I was privy to Secret and below, including NATO and CANUSUK stuff, the most secret stuff was reports of incidents in Bosnia/Crotia in the mid 90's, deaths, specific locations of troups etc. It was kind of fun because I would read them in the morning while posting the mail, and then see it in the news the next day. Hope this has been enlightening for you.
In the Canadian Forces it was regular practice in the field to simply burn any document that had a classicifaction higher than Protected A (pretty much Confidential and above).
I've had to do it more than once. Of course, burning isn't enough, you then need to pulverise the ashes since you can often still read from the burnt paper.
It wouldn't phase me it we found out the NSA has a method of determining the contents of a document by reading the smoke that is generated as it burns;-)

I haven't read the article. Having said that, it would only work if its not for profit. Check the rules.

Take it easy cowboy. He was making a joke. Get that stick our of your ass.

Perl's solution is, in my opinion, like taking a baseball bat to a cockroach.
Sounds like a good solution to me!
I think you've got it. Too bad so many other people weigh in opinions without any thought to back it up.

Whatever happened to warez?
Why, #warez666 of course. LOL

ISP's will be willing to switch to mozilla when thier userbase is comfortable using it.
Comfortable? It has worked the same way aS Netscape for years! What's so hard about that?
Does this mean those that cannot afford to pay to license the patent will be forced to make unethical AIs instead?
I'd hate to bust your bubble, but it looks like the universe will be expanding forever.
Apache Tomcat is pure XML as well. Not sure about plain old Apache though.
After all, who's gonna buy the other guy's t-shirt design when his own design didn't win?
They have an obligation, according to that value system, to kill us off if they can.
Shame on you for repeating that kind of propaganda. You are obviously the one showing is a bit of ignorance about their culture.
