I am always frequenting Linuxgames.com for information, help new users run their applications on Linux, and to then throw a cape on my back and post as the Alpha Troll. I was contacted by a representative of the Linux Game Publishing group about their interest in porting their current project "Majesty" to the clean 64bit Alpha platform. LGP's main office, from what I understand, is somewhere in London and they have a small workforce in Tustin-California. I have not received word from them for about 1 month on whether they would like for me to schedule a drop-off of a good Alpha Linux|netBSD computer. For those of you that say Alhpa is dead...you are dead wrong. Also of use to commercial developers, the Alpha platform offers benefit of a clean code-path to port software to other 64bit platforms in the future.
LGP is quite a promising group of people. They're working alongside Tuxgames to sell their software. If you support Linux, you should purchase all your software from Tuxgames. As for Happypenguin, this news is 24 hours old and Linuxgames.com posted an article before they did:-) . Happypenguin.org covers more home-brew games than Linuxgames.com, but when it comes to commercial games they both offer competitivly insightful forums. For the greatest source of gaming news in europe, HOLARSE is the place to go (PS: use babelfish).
In fact, just now, Linuxgames.com has an article about how LGP is taking over the porting effort of Mindrover: Eruopa Project. And one last thought, Linuxgames.com doesn't censor their forums, unlike Happypenguin.org
This man was stolen from and it was accomplished by a method of exploiting the weakness of the banking system.
Good people are getting stepped on. It is just like the gun control article on slashdot a couple days ago...people being argumentive and preaching to eachother the scenarios that dis-prove eachothers ideas.
A friend of mine does business on eBay and ever since September 11, 2001, he lacks sufficient identification to convert checks and money orders into cash. What does he do to get by, since he is morally apposed to identification marks? You would call him a moron for how he accomplishes his pocket change... He sends the bidder their package FIRST and asks them to send cash through the mail after they receive! He only does this with people with extremly positive feedback and so far only 1% of people have scammed him. The end result is there are people who are greatful and that are thankful for his kindness and trustworthy.
It's this disease known as immorality that has ruined the free-market. I have always said, open the prison doors and let the captives free; they'll do their worsed no matter where they are. Vigilante justice has its fair share of accomplishments, yet when it comes to vigilante justice, there is no more Constitution of the united States of America to apply to the fool who scammed you: it's ballsack crushing time.
Doom3 will simply be a more "optimized" game for the average computer; John Carmack is quite clever in letting people play on their desktops for at least 3 years (not). The technology of Doom3 is dynamic lighting, of which Radeon 8000 and above, Matrox Parhelia, and nVdia GeForce3 and above are capable of accomplishing. How will you know your computer system as a whole will be able to play Doom3 initialy (without knowing your hardware specs)? Well, people have always been working on implementing dynamic lighting in their applications for quite a while and well-before Doom3 was ever announced.
The games that are exibiting dynamic lighting are modified releases of the Quake 1 source from ID software! There are about 5 different quake 1 projects that are in active development, but I am only able to post two: ex-Loki employee Ryan Gordon is hosting Dark Places on his www.icculus.org website. Also of note, Ryan Gordon is currently porting games as Battlefield:1942 to Linux and has since finished porting Serious Same:First Encounter to Linux. I recommend visiting the beginning of www.icculus.org for a good list of fun and hardware-strenuous 3d ganes that as well run on linux. But back to dynamic lighting, the only other project I can remember from my immediate L1 memmory is Tenebrae. Tenebrae builds on linux just fine, says someone I can't remember on the tenebrae sourceforge.net help forums. I recommend Dark Places because it is more stable than tenebrae, in my 64bit Alpha platform gaming experience. Still, check Dark Places' screenshots page tenebrae's screenshot page and drool as I did over the pictures. Currently requires graphics hardware with Vertex and Pixel shader technology. Meaning, if you don't have an AGP interface on your motherboard, your only option(albeit a verry good one) is to buy a Radeon 9000 PCI on eBay which is made only by PowerColor
that GeForce FX requires an auxiliary power supply such as ATI's 9700 Pro
I always new ATI's 9700 Pro was a productivity tool; errm I mean they have always been a steady supply of power(TM). Just now, when will they make dual AGP motherboards so the GeForceFX may be complemented by this power(TM) supply?
I thought it would be a good idea for nVidia to flip the entire design so the GPU, cooling system, and the general circuitry was facing upwards. And better yet, nVidia should design an air duct to attach to the top of the GPU's fan and suck the hot air upwards and expel it through the rear of the case far away from where they initialy designed it to take the extra PCI slot. This would also allow better cooling systems to be applied as well as big heatsinks placed ontop the RAM on the graphics board. Only issue this would bring back is dust will collect more on the top and was why AGP and PCI always faced their circuitry down unlike ISA expansion cards.

I was thinking lightly about your post and found it intriguing. Should the numbers in Pi have no pattern, and thus is infinitely irrational, why not implement an architecture inside Doom3 that allows the game to use Pi for its random number generator, compute further into Pi while synchronized with the millions of other game players, and scientists will be given a much more precise Pi? I'ld think it would be extra edutainment for a Doom3 player to login to a server of Doom3 and the Message Of The Day (MOTD) would be, "Thankyou JibbyJim, you have complemented the genera of Pi to 3.14e998234982992835982349582945829348923482394823 958235; enjoy the gam^overflow...signal 11".
Despite my humor, wouldn't that be a verry revolutionary feat? We all know that the Entertainment Industry is responsible for moving the market to higher-performing graphics in the majority of situations, why not allow all the scientists to benefit from all the entertainment users generating for them higher-precision irrational numbers? I just know they [developers and scientists] can't implement such a feature in Maya to contribute their idle computer performance for a never-ending fight in science for Pi (Maya isn't on every gamer's computer), yet SETI has done a similar task. With John Carmack's ties to rocketry, the more precision the better. Or perhaps the number system should be changed so Pi may be solved a different and more rational method; Base10 is a subset of how the English counted all ten of their fingers, from what I know, and it doesn't sound so scientific given that Base10 is based on human fingers.
The domain is only as good as the people hosting it and the people attending it. Children are putty in the world's fingers; mold them well and you will see a nation rise up and become what they desire: good or bad.
When do they stop being children? When will your children, or shall I say *ahem*disciples*ahem become zealots? (reference to my other post)
uh, shut up. free speech does not make it legal to push porn in kid's faces
I am honest with you. I am not here to fight, other than for the rights of those pesky United States [C,c]itizens I am always hearing about. It is written in their laws. Have they not agreed to these laws upon becoming a [C,c]itizen? I don't like pornography, yet that is an expression of my beliefs (religion) and if I were in any one of those united States of America I would be breaking the law asking for another belief to be censored. The only way to regulate or unregulate the.kids.us domain, honestly, would be to host the hardware (computer) and software (OS and webserver) outside the jurisdiction of the United States and the Constitution of the united States of America and perhaps under another governing body (like themselves, perhaps). The choice, I understand there would be, is stop being a United States [C,c]itizen and still live within or outside of any of the several united States of America or stick the webhosting in another country, sovereign, or the moon.
I don't like pornography, yet pornography itself is a belief, and as well a freedom of the press (hustler magazine is a mighty large subscription press and I choose to stay away from them, as well the average damned goatse post is an infringment of freedom of expression).
The better solution is to raise your children well enough so they too will respect the rights of others to express themselves and as well allow them to choose to shun pornography based on the morality of their choice and not being a robot of their parents (good or bad).
(let me hint, yes, goatse.cx is disgusting, yet mind is over matter and what matters is people have their tangible freedom to dislike goatse.cx)
You talk about children so profusely that maybe you either have some or be one yourself.
A Jewish is no longer a child when has reached 13 years old.
A Amish is no longer a child when reached choice of RumSpringa which is roughly 15 years old.
The United States [C,c]itizen is DENIED COMPLETE RIGHTS until 21 years of age.
Who are you protecting? What will happen when I say we are all children of the Creator; be it big bang or John Doe)?
Cherish your childhood while you can...depending how you interact with the world, it only goes down-hill with more regulation.
And please don't take me the wrong way on this subject matter, I despise pornography and despise people flaunting any and all things I find disgusting, yet it is all a state of the morality of such people. Give absolute freedom, I hope you're a good preacher, like me.
They are not allowed to create any regulation of the.kids.us domain or otherwise.
It is written, in the Constitution of the united States of America:
ARTICLE [I]: Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press,; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
And further, I protest that it is written in the United States Code:
18 USC Sec. 242: Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State Teritory, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, [...] shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
And further establishes that the violator:
42 USC Sec. 1983: [...] shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress."

Chunky White,
You are a complete idiot.
Based on your statements, semi-trucks are so fragile they can't pull a load up a hill! Where do you get this information or are you just a Volks PR representative out to spread FUD about American cars? Mr. White, you may ask me anything about SUV safety.:-) I am here for you. I've been in many accidents and the only serious injuries I've absorbed is head and body trauma from rolling ontop of that other idiot family of five and they were lucky enough that my SUV was so well built that their car wasn't smooshed. After the accident, I forgave them of their sins, scolded them to repent and to buy American, and I was so kind to let them wheel me down to the local park and feed me apple-sauce. Maybe if they're really nice, I'll let their son and daughter draw a murial of "ForD Tough" on my full-body cast. You would think you weak Europeans would learn to design a better (upholstered) passenger car with nice Firestone Tires, but NOOOOOOO! You gotta... I must go, nice talking with you, the nurse is holding a catheter and a bed pan for me...
There were a fair amount of other applications for Alpha-based NT boxes. If I remember
correctly, MS SQL and Exchange both supported the Alpha platform. There also was a wide
variety of other applications, from PTC's Pro/ENGINEER to the accounting package Great
Plains Dynamics, that also supported the Windows NT Alpha platform. Microsoft even had
Alpha native versions of Word and Excel 97.
Even if there was no native Alpha application, you could still install and run most x86
applications using DEC's FX!32 x86 emulator. It ran at about half the speed. But this is when
DEC had 1 GHz Alphas -- about five years ago! The fastest processor from Intel was only
about half that.
Having a dual-boot Alpha with NT and Digital UNIX was a real treat!
5 years ago, Intel had a goofy Pentium 150MHz and Alpha was at 400MHz (+200MHz in a
quick fab core shrink). Alpha could've been at like you said 1ghz at the time if only they had
the.13 micron process then, but they made do with.35 micron process. Despite, age, the
performance for Alpha is still excellent and a Pentium 3 1000MHz is *maybe* almost upto
the quality of performance as a 500MHz Alpha (21164) that was so long ago created. It isn't
necesarily about the CPU registers being 64bit; it is all to do with the platform's consistency.
The memmory bus of a 5 year-old Alpha is 128bit while Penium 2 and Pentium 3 are still at
only a 64bit memmory bus. Take into effect that the Alpha was always setting ontop of
Intel's PCI technology: first Alphas were using 64bit PCI slots on 33MHz bus, and DEC
(Digital Equipment Corporation) always impressed everyone by implementing multiple
independent dedicated PCI BUS(s) to minimize bottle-necks. The Alpha is *IMPRESSIVE*
and AMD and Intel are only able to *LEARN* from this seamingly-ancient, yet high-tech,
masterpeice so few people are willing to re-linquish on eBay
and yahoo
auctions.
I must say that DEC's FX!32 is reason Alpha failed. Microsoft didn't implement Windows
NT 4 on Alpha; DEC asked Microsoft if they would be allowed to port Windows NT to Alpha
and Microsoft has nothing to do with the implementation other than Microsoft owns the code
outright. Windows NT is not broken in any way other than the memmory addressing is not
implemented as it should; it is true 64bit in *ALL* other matters and there is no emulation of
any kind. As I was about to say, FX!32 is the reason Windows NT on Alpha failed...to an
extent. Windows NT, though Microsoft didn't pay DEC for the port, and DEC donated their
own resources to undergo the task, failed because of the general high cost of both Microsoft's
service cost oof Windows NT on Alpha for being a smaller install base than x86, support
response from Microsoft was *ALWAYS* behind schedule, and DEC's cost of creating the
Alpha was always too high and passed onto the customer because DEC had difficulties
receiving loans to offset cost to make Alpha more affordable to customers. Do you actually
think Intel and AMD can make CPUs cheap? NO WAY! Intel and AMD had to hoof it with
design shortcuts and slaughter independent developers with licensing fees; and GNU is quite
hurting them, yet who cares now that hundreds of thousands of people can port software on
x86 and Intel and AMD can benefit with small royalties and a software support base to
ensure survival of x86. And to top it off, circuit fabrication has actually lowered in cost so
much that they've SURVIVED the digital divide and are now in a point to sun-bathe on
beaches of cheap silicon.
FX!32 is a tombstone of supporting a platform nobody understood. Just lately, linux and
*GNU* (choke!gasp!) has allowed the Alpha, as well as the other niche platforms, to be
supported through and through with excellence.
Microsoft, who are they in the Alpha world? Aren't they the people who constantly
announce warnings about some sort of V-I-R-U-S getting those darn Pentium and Athlon
computers?
Nice to actualy read someone's text that isn't half-baked tofu as everyone elses'. OK, I hunt all the time. Part of the reason I hunt animals such as Deer, Wild Boar, Elk, Rabbits, (unofficially) Mountain Lion, and (unofficially) bears is:
1) farm-land has increased animal populations to no longer support wild-animals grazing in the forest and non-developed land when they return to the said non-developed land
2) farm-land has offset the balance between prey and predators; drastically and sporadically opposite in the majority of locales with no balance foreseen in most scenarios
3) it is envinronmently non-predictable and dangerous to import predators into an area due to the region's history, seasonal population rate and behavior, and risk of spreading unknown disease
4) Much of my contractual co-workers within Midland America need to feed their families and they often volunteer to hunt on farming land for agreed-upon partial or full claim of the game carcas with the farmer (more often the farmer lets us/you keep what we get, and we always pick up trash that we find)
5) Some animals (Wild Boar and Rabbits especially) have such a high reproduction rate and/or general fearcness and ruggedness that they are not controllable by Mountain Lion and Bears (they also damage crops efficiently to demand a seasonal hunting, and please don't take `fearcness` out of context and apply that property to rabbits, wild boar are verry agressive and are known to efficiently ward-off attacks from mountain lion and medium to large bears)
6) The honest conjecture of there being a Predator-to-Prey relationship in America is not true to human-inhabited regions namely because Mountain Lion and Bears (real predators) hunt AND feed primarily on diseased, injured, or newborn animals and the only population control mechanism in the wild is truly for mass-disease (or human-led animal managment) to monitor the population (we, as a people/country, are able to help the animals stay healthy, yet money and time can only help so much so often and it was determined that disease in a general population of animals is safer and easier controlled by removing the infected individuals and securing and treating the larger of the population)
7) Because you just will not go back to the grocery store after you know you can help mother nature by having yourself some fresh backyard jerkey and burgers;-)
For those of you that don't like what I said, I am offering it as truth to my knowledge and must honestly append that I, myself, am vegetarian 6 days a week by _tradition_ and my favorite foods are oatmeal, bannanas, apples, figs, plums, dates, grapes, rice, caulif.+broc., potatoes, yams, pumpkins, corn, and water. I honestly am not able to name all my favorite foods because so many exist. Meat is honestly verry little of my diet, yet is quite necessary to maintane nutrients not easily obtained from a strict vegetarian or fruitopian (lol) diet. And one last word for you: I am a geek, am a better cook than you, and you slashdotters have a lot to learn out-side of electricity and logic.:d
As if courtrooms were closed source...no, they're open, exception to the Federal Government (theives at large locking their own doors to hide their shameful actions).
As if food were closed source...no, we are given the basic ingredients list upon request: in paper or plastic bag, packaged to go. And McDonalds has proved they are not cooking their products in lard as of yesterday: gosh my mouth is sticky.
As if software were closed source...no, the machine code is there and nobody can pattent digital logic 1 and digital logic 0. But wait, here come the DMCA to prove that even you can be told what you can and can't do with the click of a mouse.
As if Electronics manufacturers don't release specifications and parts lists...no, you buy the end-product and you sacrificially break-open your documented(in progress) parts list.
Everything should be free...no, wait, someone dedicated themselves to the labor already; it's payed-for. In essence, it is free:p
How many people benefited from the construction of planet Earth? Is planet Earth open-source and does planet Earth have an Uber Entity? Is Planet Earth's Uber Entity enforcing patents? (Yes) Is planet Earth's Uber Entity named "GOD"? (No)
So, what is preventing everything from being free (not as in beer)? Patents, and the entities that enforce them (DMCA), are what continually beat-down the freedom of living in a non-patented world.
Apache indians have always eaten BOA for breakfast and dinner; probably because BOA are much slower running on the ground and performance for BOA runs downward trend especially on scalability of requests. Think about load balancing in BOA, and you got to make your own CGI to load balance the food shortage.
I think Apache eats BOA any day and that is why only two species of Boa constrictors are left in the USA, within California: The Rosy BOA and The Rubber Bo#@$ oh wait, wrong article...

Or perhaps the number system should be changed so Pi may be solved a different and more rational method; Base10 is a subset of how the English counted all ten of their fingers, from what I know, and it doesn't sound so scientific given that Base10 is based on human fingers.

When do they stop being children? When will your children, or shall I say *ahem*disciples*ahem become zealots? (reference to my other post)
I am honest with you. I am not here to fight, other than for the rights of those pesky United States [C,c]itizens I am always hearing about. It is written in their laws. Have they not agreed to these laws upon becoming a [C,c]itizen? I don't like pornography, yet that is an expression of my beliefs (religion) and if I were in any one of those united States of America I would be breaking the law asking for another belief to be censored. The only way to regulate or unregulate the .kids.us domain, honestly, would be to host the hardware (computer) and software (OS and webserver) outside the jurisdiction of the United States and the Constitution of the united States of America and perhaps under another governing body (like themselves, perhaps). The choice, I understand there would be, is stop being a United States [C,c]itizen and still live within or outside of any of the several united States of America or stick the webhosting in another country, sovereign, or the moon.
I don't like pornography, yet pornography itself is a belief, and as well a freedom of the press (hustler magazine is a mighty large subscription press and I choose to stay away from them, as well the average damned goatse post is an infringment of freedom of expression).
The better solution is to raise your children well enough so they too will respect the rights of others to express themselves and as well allow them to choose to shun pornography based on the morality of their choice and not being a robot of their parents (good or bad).
(let me hint, yes, goatse.cx is disgusting, yet mind is over matter and what matters is people have their tangible freedom to dislike goatse.cx)
Please allow me to refer you to my other post.
You talk about children so profusely that maybe you either have some or be one yourself.
A Jewish is no longer a child when has reached 13 years old.
A Amish is no longer a child when reached choice of RumSpringa which is roughly 15 years old.
The United States [C,c]itizen is DENIED COMPLETE RIGHTS until 21 years of age.
Who are you protecting? What will happen when I say we are all children of the Creator; be it big bang or John Doe)?
Cherish your childhood while you can...depending how you interact with the world, it only goes down-hill with more regulation.
And please don't take me the wrong way on this subject matter, I despise pornography and despise people flaunting any and all things I find disgusting, yet it is all a state of the morality of such people. Give absolute freedom, I hope you're a good preacher, like me.
It is written, in the Constitution of the united States of America:
ARTICLE [I]:
Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press,; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
And further, I protest that it is written in the United States Code:
18 USC Sec. 242:
Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State Teritory, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, [...] shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
And further establishes that the violator:
42 USC Sec. 1983:
[...] shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress."

Chunky White,
:-) I am here for
You are a complete idiot.
Based on your statements, semi-trucks are so fragile they can't pull a load up a hill! Where
do you get this information or are you just a Volks PR representative out to spread FUD about
American cars? Mr. White, you may ask me anything about SUV safety.
you. I've been in many accidents and the only serious injuries I've absorbed is head and body
trauma from rolling ontop of that other idiot family of five and they were lucky enough that my
SUV was so well built that their car wasn't smooshed. After the accident, I forgave them of
their sins, scolded them to repent and to buy American, and I was so kind to let them wheel
me down to the local park and feed me apple-sauce. Maybe if they're really nice, I'll let their
son and daughter draw a murial of "ForD Tough" on my full-body cast. You would think you
weak Europeans would learn to design a better (upholstered) passenger car with nice
Firestone Tires, but NOOOOOOO! You gotta... I must go, nice talking with you, the nurse is
holding a catheter and a bed pan for me...
Even if there was no native Alpha application, you could still install and run most x86 applications using DEC's FX!32 x86 emulator. It ran at about half the speed. But this is when DEC had 1 GHz Alphas -- about five years ago! The fastest processor from Intel was only about half that.
Having a dual-boot Alpha with NT and Digital UNIX was a real treat!
5 years ago, Intel had a goofy Pentium 150MHz and Alpha was at 400MHz (+200MHz in a quick fab core shrink). Alpha could've been at like you said 1ghz at the time if only they had the .13 micron process then, but they made do with .35 micron process. Despite, age, the
performance for Alpha is still excellent and a Pentium 3 1000MHz is *maybe* almost upto
the quality of performance as a 500MHz Alpha (21164) that was so long ago created. It isn't
necesarily about the CPU registers being 64bit; it is all to do with the platform's consistency.
The memmory bus of a 5 year-old Alpha is 128bit while Penium 2 and Pentium 3 are still at
only a 64bit memmory bus. Take into effect that the Alpha was always setting ontop of
Intel's PCI technology: first Alphas were using 64bit PCI slots on 33MHz bus, and DEC
(Digital Equipment Corporation) always impressed everyone by implementing multiple
independent dedicated PCI BUS(s) to minimize bottle-necks. The Alpha is *IMPRESSIVE*
and AMD and Intel are only able to *LEARN* from this seamingly-ancient, yet high-tech,
masterpeice so few people are willing to re-linquish on eBay
and yahoo
auctions.
I must say that DEC's FX!32 is reason Alpha failed. Microsoft didn't implement Windows NT 4 on Alpha; DEC asked Microsoft if they would be allowed to port Windows NT to Alpha and Microsoft has nothing to do with the implementation other than Microsoft owns the code outright. Windows NT is not broken in any way other than the memmory addressing is not implemented as it should; it is true 64bit in *ALL* other matters and there is no emulation of any kind. As I was about to say, FX!32 is the reason Windows NT on Alpha failed...to an extent. Windows NT, though Microsoft didn't pay DEC for the port, and DEC donated their own resources to undergo the task, failed because of the general high cost of both Microsoft's service cost oof Windows NT on Alpha for being a smaller install base than x86, support response from Microsoft was *ALWAYS* behind schedule, and DEC's cost of creating the Alpha was always too high and passed onto the customer because DEC had difficulties receiving loans to offset cost to make Alpha more affordable to customers. Do you actually think Intel and AMD can make CPUs cheap? NO WAY! Intel and AMD had to hoof it with design shortcuts and slaughter independent developers with licensing fees; and GNU is quite hurting them, yet who cares now that hundreds of thousands of people can port software on x86 and Intel and AMD can benefit with small royalties and a software support base to ensure survival of x86. And to top it off, circuit fabrication has actually lowered in cost so much that they've SURVIVED the digital divide and are now in a point to sun-bathe on beaches of cheap silicon.
FX!32 is a tombstone of supporting a platform nobody understood. Just lately, linux and *GNU* (choke!gasp!) has allowed the Alpha, as well as the other niche platforms, to be supported through and through with excellence.
Microsoft, who are they in the Alpha world? Aren't they the people who constantly announce warnings about some sort of V-I-R-U-S getting those darn Pentium and Athlon computers?
Will this happen in your house, Dracula?

Nice to actualy read someone's text that isn't half-baked tofu as everyone elses'. OK, I hunt all the time. Part of the reason I hunt animals such as Deer, Wild Boar, Elk, Rabbits, (unofficially) Mountain Lion, and (unofficially) bears is:
1) farm-land has increased animal populations to no longer support wild-animals grazing in the forest and non-developed land when they return to the said non-developed land
2) farm-land has offset the balance between prey and predators; drastically and sporadically opposite in the majority of locales with no balance foreseen in most scenarios
3) it is envinronmently non-predictable and dangerous to import predators into an area due to the region's history, seasonal population rate and behavior, and risk of spreading unknown disease
4) Much of my contractual co-workers within Midland America need to feed their families and they often volunteer to hunt on farming land for agreed-upon partial or full claim of the game carcas with the farmer (more often the farmer lets us/you keep what we get, and we always pick up trash that we find)
5) Some animals (Wild Boar and Rabbits especially) have such a high reproduction rate and/or general fearcness and ruggedness that they are not controllable by Mountain Lion and Bears (they also damage crops efficiently to demand a seasonal hunting, and please don't take `fearcness` out of context and apply that property to rabbits, wild boar are verry agressive and are known to efficiently ward-off attacks from mountain lion and medium to large bears)
6) The honest conjecture of there being a Predator-to-Prey relationship in America is not true to human-inhabited regions namely because Mountain Lion and Bears (real predators) hunt AND feed primarily on diseased, injured, or newborn animals and the only population control mechanism in the wild is truly for mass-disease (or human-led animal managment) to monitor the population (we, as a people/country, are able to help the animals stay healthy, yet money and time can only help so much so often and it was determined that disease in a general population of animals is safer and easier controlled by removing the infected individuals and securing and treating the larger of the population)
7) Because you just will not go back to the grocery store after you know you can help mother nature by having yourself some fresh backyard jerkey and burgers
For those of you that don't like what I said, I am offering it as truth to my knowledge and must honestly append that I, myself, am vegetarian 6 days a week by _tradition_ and my favorite foods are oatmeal, bannanas, apples, figs, plums, dates, grapes, rice, caulif.+broc., potatoes, yams, pumpkins, corn, and water. I honestly am not able to name all my favorite foods because so many exist. Meat is honestly verry little of my diet, yet is quite necessary to maintane nutrients not easily obtained from a strict vegetarian or fruitopian (lol) diet. And one last word for you: I am a geek, am a better cook than you, and you slashdotters have a lot to learn out-side of electricity and logic.
I will bite! W00h00!
Great discussion...maybe:
1. Nuclear Bomb HOWTO
2. Coca-Cola's recipe
3. Electronics manufacturers
4. I agree, everything *is* free
As if courtrooms were closed source...no, they're open, exception to the Federal Government (theives at large locking their own doors to hide their shameful actions).
As if food were closed source...no, we are given the basic ingredients list upon request: in paper or plastic bag, packaged to go. And McDonalds has proved they are not cooking their products in lard as of yesterday: gosh my mouth is sticky.
As if software were closed source...no, the machine code is there and nobody can pattent digital logic 1 and digital logic 0. But wait, here come the DMCA to prove that even you can be told what you can and can't do with the click of a mouse.
As if Electronics manufacturers don't release specifications and parts lists...no, you buy the end-product and you sacrificially break-open your documented(in progress) parts list.
Everything should be free...no, wait, someone dedicated themselves to the labor already; it's payed-for. In essence, it is free :p
How many people benefited from the construction of planet Earth? Is planet Earth open-source and does planet Earth have an Uber Entity? Is Planet Earth's Uber Entity enforcing patents? (Yes) Is planet Earth's Uber Entity named "GOD"? (No) So, what is preventing everything from being free (not as in beer)? Patents, and the entities that enforce them (DMCA), are what continually beat-down the freedom of living in a non-patented world.
The Bridge Is People!
Apache indians have always eaten BOA for breakfast and dinner; probably because BOA are much slower running on the ground and performance for BOA runs downward trend especially on scalability of requests. Think about load balancing in BOA, and you got to make your own CGI to load balance the food shortage.
I think Apache eats BOA any day and that is why only two species of Boa constrictors are left in the USA, within California: The Rosy BOA and The Rubber Bo#@$ oh wait, wrong article...
