nice freaking web page. It works in IE, but not in mozilla. And it's reported that active X use is required to view a video (freaking morons).
I haven't heard of them. After reading the other comments, not many people will probably ever hear of them. This should have been in the who the hell cares section, or the future failed projects section.
We still do that, but use uh for 0 and huh for 1, and in 1/2 nibble bursts. uh-uh, uh-huh, huh uh, huh huh. In fact, one govt guy recently got busted using that very code to transfer national secrets to his wife over the phone.
Mozilla also has a nice search feature where you can highlight text, then right click on it and search for that text. It also has a search button which searches for whatever is typed in the address bar. Through preferences, you can change the search type to google, as well as numerous others.
What if the goal (or effect, either way) was to get things to the point where nearly everything was blacklisted for spam? The virus wouldn't have to send real spam, just fake spam in a way that would cause the person's ISP to be put on the blacklists. Once that happened, people would shut off the spam blocking software, and spam would reign supreme.
er, "Theora is named after a fictional character... on... Max Headroom" kind of proves his point. It doesn't bother me, but I can see it commanding less respect from PHBs.
"the current Bush administration has piled misleading and disputable decision on decision, and the American public seems to feel it is all right."
Bush comes off as someone with average intelligence and is able to communicate well with the average person. He doesn't talk above them and even makes a few odd speaking mistakes once in a while. This makes him seem more trustworthy to those who either cant or won't bother to see through the BS.
I could run over someone crossing the street in front of me. I might suspect that he might try to steal my car. That doesn't mean I should run him over. Same goes with the government. Just because they can do something (even if it might prevent a crime), doesn't mean that they should.
#1: Your citizens are weakminded, foolish, and easily swayed.
#2: Your hold on power is tenuous, and you cannot handle the slightest challenge to your authority.
#1 is a given. Its true for the majority of people throughout history. Its easiest to see that in other societies, of course.
Got the first bugbear.b at Jun 5 12:02:28 (central). The virus scanner's blocked 5 so far. It's been a nasty virus week already due to sobig.c and (still) klez.h. One out of 12 emails have been a virus.
This has been the worst week since we got hit by klez, but this time it hasn't caused a problem. When we got hit by klez, it was before there were updates for our desktop virus scan. Now, all email's scanned by a different brand of scanner before it gets to the desktops (which still have antivirus software installed), and the server checks for updates every hour.
I wouldn't think of this as a patentable idea on it's own and I swear I've read about the idea before several other places (probably/.), but it could be useful in an IDS, simply notifying the admin of a suspicious login. It could also be added to a login system that combined passwords with other imperfect ID checks like facial recognition.
A few years before the matrix, in a half awake state I thought up a scifi idea about a discovery that would allow a small piece of matter to simulate 2 pieces of matter and then using recursion to simulate an infinate amount of matter. The scientists would let this run until it was able to simulate an entire universe, and eventually an infinate amount of universes (with the passage of time being controllable -- from stopped to infinate). One day (or one second after the beginning of the experiment), one of the simulated civilizations figures out how to move between the simulated universes, and eventually up to the universe of the scientists who created theirs. They come to learn that there's an infinate number of universesv in depth and breadth and that no one knows which is the original, or even if there is one. The concept is pretty simple, and a rather obvious conclusion to the idea of matter simulating more than itself on a mass scale.
So the thought relating to the movie is, what if the machines don't know that they are part of a matrix, just as most of the humans don't? I first started thinking that the "world" of zion was part of a matrix during the architech speech. Perhaps he knows that there's more out there than even the machines know. Heck, maybe Neo is the "One" for the machines as well.
If one world can completely simulate another, what's to prevent the situation where no one knows where the true reality really exists? And in that situation, all of the simulations would be just as real as any other.
There's a lot of people out there who aren't near as into CPUs as what you're thinking. There's a lot of small and medium businesses who have good relationships with non-tier 1 vendors, and if their vendor recommends the opteron, and it delivers what is promised, the customer will be happy. Throw in some tier 1 support from someone like dell, ibm or compaq/hp and I think you'll see AMD having a good chance to prove themselves. I think it'll come down to AMD delivering on their promises of stabilty, speed and value.

of course, if I'd RTFA, I'd have realized that the whole point is that this guy is a scammer. Hopefully, we'll see him in jail someday.

They just need to develop a tech that will tell them that the movie sucks _before_ they film it.
Someone was overheard saying, "Code shmode. It's all greek to me."
I think for your arguement, you mean "Milk is more expensive than gas", not "Milk is cheaper than gas."
so you get GMH.
"Customers have spoken! They want single songs.."
That's kind of like commercials on TV. They can be creative and entertaining too.
Don't skimp on the quality of the screwdriver (such as SK), you'll just end up with stripped screws.
Media fear hyping? You mean the current administration. They started fear hyping before they won the election.
So you're saying that cyborgs will be a fad someday, like polyester suits were in the 70s?

So will that be the new threat of bad senators? "Elect me again, or I'll terrorize the entire country?"
actually, anything with a name like "Patriot Act" would make me rather suspicious.

do those statistics include medicare/ss? That's just as much of a tax as income tax, and needs to be included when comparing tax rates between people.

Why don't we just skip the formalities and put the laws up on ebay. Yay or Nay, highest bid wins.
