On those rare occasions when I find "I have no word proccessor" I just use a text editor. Duh... Hand written docs are better then just a plain text ascii file printed on a printer??
That is always a favorite of mine. But if you just look for what you are talking about, you will be missing most of America's real treasures. The Grand Canyon, Yosemite park (however you spell it). Niagra Falls, Blue Ridge mountains etc. So many places and so little time!
Oh and on the techie side, don't forget NASA in Houston.
Well, at least for drowsing their site. The funny thing is is that they have backslashes embedded in some of the URLs like the one for the search. Replace the backslash with a slash and it works great.
I used 'tulip information' and 'fruit apples' and I got great results. A few shopping place but a fair number of information sites.
I think it's MSN will end up with the same problem after a few years if not immediately. If you type in broad terms such as apple or flowers you will get mostly junk you aren't looking for such as information on tulips or the fruit apple.
MS should stick to infecting the masses with viruses on thier computers.
His reasoning sounds good, but what the hey? It sounds pretty obvious that the most cost effective approach is to keep the data close to the CPU doing the crunching.
Silly Rabbit! The anti-competative isn't because they are getting into the anti-virus business, it's that they just bought one of the best anti-virus (cost / performance) businesses that serves the Linux community.
I can only hope that I will still have anti-virus S/W that I can afford for my mail server a year from now!
If past performance in any indication, I won't. It looks like all MS has to do is throw some of thier money at a company, either through an investment or legal settlement and they drop linux like a hot potato! Two cases in immediate memory Caldera and Corel.
Much better we can't get a job and work! I must admit the thought of being forced to work, moving out from under my bridge and eating real food is just down right appaling. I enjoy my fine cuisine of whatever garbage I can find from the "rich folks" and civil servants as well as any rats and pigeons (MMMmmm boy Squab!) that stray to close. GOD FORBID OUR NATION EVER MAKES ME GIVE UP THE GOOD LIFE!
The nerve of our goverment giving ALL TAXPAYERS AN EVEN BREAK on thier taxes! How dare they! Next thing you know we'll be able to speek our minds openly w/o fear!
We've heard this before. Didn't they take a year and clean up all of thier code before? Are they going to take another year and do it again? How many years will this take any ways?
In all reality, if they want to fix their security, they need to fix the way they view data and process. They blur the lines between the the two way too much. They also encourage the users to blur the line between the two as well.
If they truely want to make a more secure OS, they need to remove the ability to run code from every form of document you cvan make with their code. Macros are nice but when they let you have full access to the system and it's resources they are deadly and the biggest security hole you can ask for!
I should not be able to run full blown basic apps just by opening a word doc, email, spread sheet or whatever.
"The possibility that we are creations of some supreme, or super-being, blurs the boundary between physics and idealist philosophy, between the natural and the supernatural, and between the relation of mind and multiverse and the possibility that we're in the matrix rather than the physics itself. Once you accept the idea of the multiverse, and that some universes will have immense potentiality for complexity, it's a logical consequence that in some of those universes there will be the potential to simulate parts of themselves, and you may get sort of infinite regress, so we don't know where reality stops and where the minds and ideas take over, and we don't know what our place is in this grand ensemble of universes and simulated universes.Once you accept the idea of the multiverse, and that some universes will have immense potentiality for complexity, it's a logical consequence that in some of those universes there will be the potential to simulate parts of themselves, and you may get sort of infinite regress, so we don't know where reality stops and where the minds and ideas take over, and we don't know what our place is in this grand ensemble of universes and simulated universes."

It's interesting how in one paragraph he espouses a theory in which there are infinite possibilities and how this could be all one big simulation, then in the next says that creationist are just nuts who could never be rignt.
I personaly think the dude needs to get out into the sun a bit more. I think he's suffering from vitamin D deficiancy.
What's amazing (make that absurd) is that people use 160 years of hard temperature recording to claim that we have long term global warming. What is realy amazing (Make that realy absurd) is that now we use 20 years of hard ozone hole measurements to make long term predictions about the ozone layer.
Speeking of silly shit, ever wonder why there is not more roasted mutton from New Zealanders smoking in valleys with all them methane producing sheep?
I remember just recently seeing a "In search Of' program with Leonard Nimoy as the host. The show was produced in the late 70s and it was all about the possible ice age that was comming. Don't remember the scientists referenced but it's a good start for looking back to find them.
Thusands of California rockhounds are being rounded up for questioning and detention without lawyers for praticing geology without a license. Sources closest to the source say the mis-information these backyard geologists are dispensing is just plain horrific!

How lame!

I have a friend who will be racing in a 2100 mile solar car race in Australia in either August or September. Pretty spiff for a highschool project.
After 20+ years someone finaly found a good use for a MS-Windows machine!

When you think about it, it is about time they pay a dividend. They should have been all through the years they where accumulating the 40bn they have.
I guess some of the slashdotters would prefer it if they bought SCO or IBM instead.
I'm sick of all of the security breaches in Linux. I'm going back to the warmth and security om MS Windows!

Hopefully Linux will beat them to it.

With 400 foot waves I better start waxing my surf board now.

The US Congress is the largest wind tunnel in the USA and the UN is the largest in the world!!!
I think this story is just a troll!

At $150,000.00 per copy, they probably figure it make more sense to let the BSA resolve any licensing issues with the software.
Being Taxachusetts, you would think they would just tax the surrounding states to cover their licensing costs!
Somebody has to do it! Better them than I. I still have my soul and a life :))
I've had enough of these hacks! It's time to go back to the warmth and security of Microsoft! You don't hear about them having problems like this.
