This isn't offical, but I saw what appeared to be a large plane fying around Pittsburgh with two smaller planes behind it. I would guess this is a refueler with two fighter jets behind it.
The plane in Somerset hit way to close to home today. Thank god the pilot was brave enough to crash before he got to any major cities, not to be selfish but I'm glad that my hometown of Pittsburgh wasn't hit.
Every time a site like this is crushed by corporaet power, we see a small part of what was great about the internet disappear. Sure the IRC is filled with childish actions, and bots just add to the childishness. But those children are geeks using tools written by geeks on a network developed by geeks, and now... what was my point... oh yeah, and now some money grubbing corporation has stolen a small part of our childish geek actions in the name of "trademark". Some day we will look at the internet, remember what it was, and wonder why the only thing left is the Web with all of its redundant pop-up adds for cameras that open new adds for cameras when you close them. Yes, someday corporate stupidity and greed will leave us with nothing but constant advertisement on the internet and we will try to fight, but we will have no place to put our bots to talk to non-existant IRC servers to constantly publish "M1cR050f7 5uX" every 1.5 seconds on our favorite channel there by crippling our ability to do anything.
Government should not be in the business of regulating business. Let Amazon have any privacy rule they want. Let them sell their information to every advertiser in the world. But let the consumer choose if he wants to buy Amazon products and give his information to Amazon. If he doesn't like the idea of advertisers calling him up then he's free to shop at bn.com. It's called capitalism, gentlemen. And anything that isn't capitalism is communism. So which will it be??
Um, I don't think you understand how our democracy works.
You see in a pure capitalist society you will have a hand full of people become extremely rich and everyone else will be extremely poor. Only through socialist policies can the government protect the everyone else through things like minimum wage, safety regulations, health standards, and all the other things that protect the workers and consumers. If it weren't for the government protecting your rights from large corporations we would all be living in bunkhouses of large factories in a form of pseudo-slavery.
I'm not saying that the government completely protect our right, they do things that put the corporations before us too. But there are things in place that are meant to protect us, and there are currently acts in congress that target personal privacy specifically so that companies like Amazon can't distribute your information on a whim and give you no choice in the matter.
The thing that really sucks about this is if you were a customer before the revised policy and you decided that this is unacceptible and canceled your account with them, your information will still be in their database just waiting to be sold. In other words, once your in you ain't getting out.
The idea behind open source software is that you can change, port, or do whatever to any open source code that you want as long as you release what you did. Preventing developers from porting to a closed OS puts an artificial limitation to what we can do with the code, which is one of the things open-source software is trying to prevent.
on your employee agreement that you signed. Just find the agreement that you signed with them and see what it says. If you never signed one, then the product belongs to you. Otherwise you may be in a situation where they own it due to the fact that you did do it on company time.
I work at a company that uses mainly Windows NT and we have our own personal Jornada 720s.
The whole reason we have jornadas is for keeping track of our schedules and getting reminders. Now since we aren't on the jornadas all day it is nice to get the reminders on our personal PCs, and we have software that keeps the MS Outlook on our jornadas in sync with our PCs. If HP moves to Linux they wouldn't have MS Outlook on the jornadas and the benefit of having the MS products in sync would be lost.
Now I know most people here are going to say "Well, use Linux on your workstations" however most companies have already invested into Windows NT, and they will need PDAs that can interface with the established systems.

Then lets ask some other questions about if you do attatch using a remote administrative client... IANAL but, what if they have porn as their
background and the helpdesk person is offended by this? I'm pretty sure this fits the definition of sexual harrassment of the employee, and
requesting the client to change their background constitutes a violation of their rights - unless you prevented them from having any in your
EULA...which I have problems with too... My point being, that sometimes you can indiscriminantly wander a step too far into someone's life by
using a remote administration tool, and everybody can be unhappy.
Ok, you are very mistaken about what sexual harrassment is. Bascially there are two possibilities to your situation, remote administration of a home or a work computer.
In the case of the home computer, you have the right to use porn as your background, but if a technician sees it while administrating your machine they DO NOT have the right to sue you, but they have the right to refuse to administrat your machine ever again. However, if it is a work PC and you have a porn image, well first your an idiot since anyone in your office can scream sexual harrassment, but also the technician admining your machine can sue you and your company.
Ok, so you get a 10x10x10 centimeter cube, or 1000 cubic centimeters. If my math is correct that means you get each cubic centimeter for the low price of $50. You'd be an idiot not to buy one.
From the article it looks like gamecenter is trying to make this look worse than it is. They are saying that games won't be produced because they can't be advertised; however, nothing that is being proposed prevents advertising, it just limits it.
This doesn't mean I agree with the IDSA. I think they're idea to limit game advertising is very un-American. Gamecenter should report on what is actually happening, not try to make things look worse than they really are.
I always test sites I write with Lynx. I do this because I assume that if you can easily navigate a site in lynx then a HC browser that is reading text or converting it to braile should have no problem with it.
However, if you really want to go hard-core with your testing you should find a few handicapped browsers and/or equipment and test on those. And if you really want to be hard core gather this equipment and have HC ppl test the pages.
Though they may have not been very smooth they allowed us fans to see plays from various angles to see if the correct call was being made. For instance a touchdown by the Ravens was being displuted and you could see the side angle which showed the ball over the line and the front view which showed the ball in his hands. They did this also for runs down the sideline. It's very useful for analysis of instants of plays where you need several camera view to figure out what is going on.
Open source the games, charge for the campaign, graphics, whatever isn't in to core engine. That way you get to sell your game, and other people can modify the engine/write games for the engine. If the engine becomes popular you can make a killing on mods for it.
This way you can use GPL code, sell your games, and keep the open-source community happy.
3.Linux users will have to get used to the idea of paying for software. If the games are ripped off left and right, then there will be no money for the people producing the games. And then there will be no games.
I have already gotten used to paying for games under linux, I bought a copy of Railroad Tycoon II for linux at our local EB. I hope other Linux users are willing to do the same: If the game is worth your time to play it, then it is worth your money.
I would also like to point out that if you aren't willing to pay for good linux software then you don't believe the operating system is good enough to pay for something to run on it. Everyone one here keeps talking smack, now who here is willing to follow through?
If you can't hack the math...

CS vs CIS

then get out of the major.
Because guess what, all the thoery you learn in all of those scary math classes will help you later. Sure you probably won't need to integrate anything at you job, but math courses aren't only about learing how to solve specific problem types, they are also about the process of solving the problem.
I know from experience that the ability to look at a problem and break it down has been one the most useful abilities I got from math courses. They don't teach you that in a "Learn VB is 21 days" type of course.
So if you want to be useful at all stick to CS. Otherwise you can join the rest of the blank-faced programmers out there who only know the syntax to a few languages, but have no idea how to write a good algorithm.
However there is the possibility that a percentage of UDP traffic would be charged based on the the average UDP percantage a US household uses to make VOIP calls.

Now where am I going to be able to go to get all my gay/xxx/teen/wet/hard/anal needs?
I was waiting for someone to improve the standard mouse for RTS. The standard mouse is definitely not sophisticated enough to handle the "click" and the "click again" interface involved in most RTS games.

I am wondering what various pitfalls I should expect.
Don't worry, Pitfall hasn't been released for the PS2.

I'm glad to see that the ACLU is starting to fight injustice on the internet. I'm surprised that we've seen so little activity in this area so far.
I know, thank you. I caught that mistake 3 seconds after I posted. :)
