How would you see where your going in time to react to things ahead of you at that speed. (or faster)
I think it is more than posible to creat a shuttle that could go that fast. Mind you, it would take a few years to get to that speed, and a few more years to slow down.
But still, my first question remainds, at 1/10 the speed of light, I don't know of any good way to see arround you.
Ok, first off. MS software has always taken 4 mjor versions to be "workable". Windows 3.1 wasn't work able, you had to exit it completly to play games. Windows 95 is v 4. IE 3.x was a joke, v 4 was the first one that competed with NS line. MS Office actualy took a long time, like v 7 or 8.
btw, from what I know, aol will be using NS 6.x in its next major release. I heard that some time ago, and not sure how things are stacking up.
Most of us geeks wether *nix or windows and that plays games, plays the multi player games with friends and lots of other people. Games from the persistant world type like Ultima Online, everhunt, to the real time strats like Stacraft/Broodwars, Warcraft3, to still more like diablo.
They picked some good games, but none that I just have to buy. (like some of the above)
Another thing is, many of us are also tight/hurting finacialy durring this time. So we arn't willing to put money on an unknown game.
" Perhaps use preditors that require some nutrient only you can provide, that way you can pull back this nutrient if the experiment fails and you can eliminate the introduced animals."
I would like to see more open source software out there. Not to get it free. But so I(or others) can change things that the parent company wont. It also eases my mind that there are no inteninal back holes or spyware type code. Companies think to much about opensource == free. But thats not inportant
Open source isn't about free. Its about software freedom.
Sell the compiled/packaged software, but allow free downloads of the full and complete source.
Re:Smaller die == less heat?

CPU Wars

· Score: 1
What they say (about less power) and the fact there is less friction in the cpu for the power. Less friction = less heat as well. (thats why they need to get to a smaller die size for more mhz)
Well, they might have looked at other things to, they wanted the cross platform of the game, #1 that sells, #2 its the most dependant. And furthermore, the tools are probly work well under wine not requiring any special modifications.
"I'm curious whether in the grander evolutionary pattern, it's necessary that corporations aquire all this power, (such as permanent control of IP), and become bigger than countries, thus making it necessary that an organisation bigger than countries be formed to put them back in line. ie. a World Government. A world government may be the only body big enough to tackle the environmental crisis (irrespective of whether it's warming or cooling, and exactly when oil will run out)."
Its called "We the people". We, me and you, andeveryone else, needs to stand up and claim our rights time and time again. Its a pitty so many people just don't care, and makes it even worse for those who do and do fight.
Its not abotu charging bandwith. They want to get more money every way they can. They first make people with more than one pc sharing one pipe look like a bad guy, then they will make each pc using that bandwith a bad guy. It wont work the other way arround because it becomes more obvious what they are doing to even non techies.
What ever happened to the good old isp that gave you shell accounds and diskpace. Or even competition. All the small people have been bought out by horrible big companies that look for every way to force someone in being a customer, and exploit them for every penny they can.
So, bottem line is, they don't care abotu a better way, they just want to find every way to get more money from us w/o providing more.
Many products that realy on ms msql make you not have an sa password. Also, many people who outsource for accounting needs are huge victims of this.
btw, don't ever let anyone use Solomon. Its a huge pain in the ass. But then, I don't know any other accounting software out there.(MS bought them out, don't support novel, etc)
What about games? Anything being done to improve games? Like faster video/sound access? ( gues most of this question should be routed to the distros as well)
We all know, the biggest reason why so many people use windows is to play the one of a kind game.
I had a 95 box with a scsi zip that needed to be detected and dhcp that from power on to usable system is 21 seconds. I don't mind long boot times, just don't make me reboot!. Ah, but 9x also has one thing I liked; You could hold down the shift key while "rebooting" and it only exits to dos and starts windows again, saving a lot of time.
Also, when 98 came out, I tested 95 vs 98, 95 was about 10% faster on same hardware with no tweaks other than turning off active desktop and the like in 98.
That system was:
k6 233
64 Ram
Diamond Viper 330 (Riva 128)
Asus tx97 mobo
Now keep in mind the p2 came out about the same time. So that system was a good system. Test included Q2, netscape, boot times, and other games.
Also, one thing i find funny, when 98 came out, I warned people about potential viruses because of the intergration of non controlled media on your computer, and well look now. We have just ben (un)lucky that none of the viruses actualy did any "real" dammage besides bandwith.
Whats really great about linking to http://www.msn.com/Opera_rules/ is that with opera you can have it reload automaticaly over and over and over. I think I'll let it run like this for a few days with it refeshing every 5 seconds in several different windows.
I don't want any single place where my information is store unless I have FULL and COMPLETE control on what is in there, and who can access it.
Such a place exists for me. Its my computer. It sits behind a nice little firewall, where people looking to make money of me can't reach it.
I'm glad sun is making an aternative. But the world at large is far far better with out such a thing. A central place of information for people to make money of me.

" Perhaps use preditors that require some nutrient only you can provide, that way you can pull back this nutrient if the experiment fails and you can eliminate the introduced animals."
Just like the book, Jurasic Park?
I beleave it was determined in a court of law that generic words like that can not be "owned".
Like file manager, windows, folder.
This was years ago, and I really don't remember to much of it.
if its not wrong to do so once, then why is it wrong to do so 14000 times?
Once they start down a path, they inch there way more and more till we don't have any rights.
Look at copyrights and other ip laws now.
Look at the politicians in office now? and who they really work for?

This looks like a way to promote spam more than anything else.
Ya, lets get all those messages we do not want, and READ them, and spend more time on them in making poetry out of it.

It would be very hard for a company to be less trustworthy than MS. And I'm not kidding either.

Advertising is really getting awfull. I can see a huge suit going over this. And I hoep so. Buy a product, and then they advertise to you!

just put in the new information, mozilla will ask to save it. The next time your at the site, you will have a choice.
