i remember a different history. it wasn't win'95 that crushed os/2, it was because of cost.
win'3.1 came AFTER os/2. when win'95 flew off the shelves, people were already swapping os/2 for win'3.1 because ibm wouldn't offer free customer service. ibm had lost the pc market, and os/2 was a last ditch attempt by ibm to regain what it finally realized it had lost. os/2 was a good product, and os/2 solutions could run on windows till m$ change some stuff and os/2 products wouldn't run on wind-blow systems anymore. there were many other smaller events that occurred, but not one single software product caused os/2 to choke. it was that the market was asking for help, and m$ would give it; i.b.m. wouldn't.
ibm was pretty erogant about it, at that time. just like m$ is today. there's a greek saying that comes to mine; it involves recieving a gift from the 'gods'. the outcome is not a good one...
why is it that folks working in the linux sphere can solve these types of problems in about half the time; as volunteers?
yesterday, i un-installed m$-office for open office, and switched to mozilla. so far, i don't see any negative effects. with an average of 12 hours a day on computers for software development i can spot problems in a reasonable amount of time. i base my results on reproducible facts, not 'personal feelings', it's how i pay the rent.
if open office, and mozilla can do the job that a software developer, students, and a 'meeting-to-death' administrator needs to have done; then this week, a new dawning has happened to the desktop community.
memo to microsoft; "every KNOCK is a SHUVE in the right direction"
could the tags hold MORE data for the wearer of the tag?
could the tag be modified to work like the fabbled 'babble fish'? if so, then:
the possible use of broadcasting into the wearer, (under wearer control), such things as 'phone calls', 'e-mail', music. at this point, we are well beyond the 1K use barrier.
but how about 'voluntary' control of the wearer to this 'modified' tag? medical uses alone would be close to the 1M mark. "time to take your meds" has a whole new meaning here. or maybe its time to get a check up.
how about personal feed back uses? as your body changes, you can be updated. maybe it will be OK to eat that bowl of 'nuclear holocaust' chile, but as you ingest the food, you get a message requesting a LARGE glass of water with lemon, NOW! we have now passed the 1M barrier. i'm thinking of 8 Billion people with 8 Billion different uses for these little modified tags.
in california verizon lost a law suit for over billing its customers, i was one of them. i'm going to get my money back.
it was verizon that did not take the 'antics' of the r.i.a.a. seriously, and they, (verizon), who then unwittingly assisted the r.i.a.a. in their, (r.i.a.a.'s), witch hunt. no one likes to be the pavement for someone else's agenda. i mocked verizon for this.
now the r.i.a.a. and telco's are like titans in an arena; we lesser mortals should still be fearful. but i cannot help but cheer for verizon on this level. i firmly believe that verizon is a souless group of oppurtunistic preditors who are currently hunting a vermin that i believe collectively represents another form of hate mongers.
1. post your question to the manufacturer of your 'robotic rods'.
2. change the chemical content of the paint on your boat.
3. present the open source code and schematics to an organization like sourceForge.org, were people that have time to solve problems like this can suggest solutions. this is a major cost savings here.
4. personnel plug here; email me at 'com.intel at verizon.net', i've worked on industrial robotics and most likely the discharging can be solved with just a little bit nueral processing from fishermen like myself.
i also remember that the cost of copy protection ran up the cost of the product to the point that the product became non-sellable; pre open source marketing.
i also remember the use of dongles, ( happy thoughts ). i threw mine away a long time ago.
thanks for the memories, i made a pretty penny from the f.u.d. marketers threw in everyones face back then.
it kinda looks like the author of the article was trying to write a story were there was none.
but what a hell of an engineering challenge.

the award for damages will be based on any damage done by the defendant's actions, not the defendant's cost.
the prosecution will have to go on to prove the following:
1. the defendant was negligent; he intended to cause damage, or harm.
2. that a 'reasonable and prudent person' would not have done this damage; by action, or inaction.
now the logic of the prosecution also has to state:
3. that emergency handling for acts of system intrusions are not expensed for, the plaintiff, or any 'reasonable and prudent person' would not normally have to expense for system intrusions.AND that this 'intrusion expense' is not a typical expense that the plaintiff, or 'reasonable and prudent person' buys.
4. that tasking a system administrator for handling system security is not a normal course of action by the plaintiff, or 'reasonable and prudent would person' on any system.
5. that there is NO system security used by the plaintiff because a 'reasonable and prudent would person' has no need for it.
if i was the plaintiff, i'd be negotiating price, not damages.;o)
what is the impact of design of a re-entry vechicle, if the re-entry time of the first 30 minutes was extended to lets say 120 minutes?
my thinking is the shuttle external temperture becomes about 6,000 degrees. not to many things can handle that kind of energy.
couldn't using some kind of braking, or reverse thrust be used until there is enough air so that some kind of gliding could occur?
i believe that the argument of 'that would increase weight' would at this time be a little thoughtless of those who died from the application of this type of logic.
i'm in the process of organizing a table of comparisons of windows/mac/linux programs. the goal is to show what each product is and does on each operating system.
things i'm noticing are:
PRO:
1. free software is a great way to be known.
2. users of your software will hire you to enhance your work for them.
3. if users don't like your work, they can do it themselves. a couple times for me they've called up to bail themselves out.
4. global problem here. people are trying to re-invent the wheel when there is an open source solution ready to use. not using an open source solution slows down project development time, and increases the project cost.
CON:
1. there is no 'rosetta stone' that compares open source products, and method to comparable products for the windows/mac/linux solution set.
2. to have the working software solution is great, but not have examples, or tutorials makes the product useless. trial and error learning is cost prohibitive.
3. 'man' pages are great, but without examples on option usage, only cures insomnia.
4. the only way that open source can beat their 'for profit' competitors products is to show HOW it can be done with the open source solution submitted.
5. the 'for profit' competitors marketing guys can sing the sirens song to the great unwashed. which will always sound better than the ignorable quote, "my product is just as good, or better. trust me". this may be a true statement, but it doesn't sell. i don't have a siren's song you can use to sell; BUT, if an open source developer wants to easily convince even the most die hard mac/windows user of their solution, THEN the developer is going to have to show a process by process comparison of the other guys product.
it doesn't take a team of programmers over a year to clean up simple documented security holes in their program logic; let's try to anywhere from 1 hour to 3 weeks. the problem is at the project tasking level. those that task determine what is most important. programmers and q.a. types are TOLD what to do; and to their credit, they do.
the state Supreme Court ruled that property and trade secrets rights outranked free speech rights
i can't help but think of the "bill of rights", and a minor law stating that state courts cannot make rulings that are against federal law.
i can't help but wonder why this case has gone as far as it has. i'm thinking of the implications here, the rights of business over the rights of free-speech? something is not being mentioned here.?.?.?
could such a technology be used in, lets say, cancer research? use the crude image algorithm to apply to dna, and viruses to find an outpatient cure for cancer and related dieses?
