Gosh, if you follow this to the logical conclusion you'll get the best results from sending to no recipients. The most likely outcome I'd say would be that you are your only customer.
If I spammed everyone in the world I'd expect to have the most results not fewer results.
Doesn't the Open Group or something like that own the trademark UNIX? What about companies, like IBM and SGI, who pay money to them to have their systems considered UNIX to now have Apple calling their's UNIX? Seems like it degrades the trademark.
I wouldn't think that right or wrong would matter. If the crows are causing harm and attacking people then you'd expect that the police need to stop them in some way.
I wonder that I'll have little robots in my can of tunafish. I'll check the labels carefully to make sure that I only buy robot free tuna.
Wouldn't there be more pratical ways, like putting sensors on commerical boats? You'd have a nice big power source to share from and perhaps even large antennas to transmit your data.

If Bin Laden's location is discovered then the military could zap power to his location right away instead of firing a missle and hope that he hasn't moved by that time. Or a terrorist could redirect the beam to hit whatever. I could imagine that many birds and a few lost airplanes would perish as a result.
Re:What's up with summing the processors speeds?

That's what IBM does for their supercomputers. But, I'd think that 1.5x speed up would be great for 2 CPUs.
I couldn't find that Washinton Times story. Here is another news story which casts some doubt about the Russian scramjet this year:

I'm using older computers for routers and Web servers, plus they are very useful for my relatives. I have a 486 set up just for word processing for my uncle, and my mother is getting along find with a P133. My Web server / file server / e-mail server is running on a 486 - 66 MHz and works just fine.
I'd recomend that you give away your older computers to someone who would like to have them, rather than throwing them away. They run UNIX style systems great if you are in text mode. Windows 95 works fine with 8 MB of RAM.
The definition of random is that the value can not be predicted, and of course we can predict any digit of PI. I would say that PI is no different than a long sequence of 1's in respect to being random.
It is like a tree falling in the forest, does it make a sound? You could argue about that, but it would just be the definition of the word "sound" that you were discussing.
They sell the CD for $30 with helps them pay for some necessary costs. (They also throw in some stickers or something.) It's much easier to install by FTP than it is to use a CD anyway, wich they recomend if you don't want to purchase their CD.
I saw "why" in the title of this discussion as well as in the title of the article. That made me eager to read the article. Anyway, I didn't read too far. These seem to be just six numbers and not at all six laws. I just glanced over the six numbers again and it doesn't seem to make any sense to me. If it made sense I wouldn't see the significance of it. The article appears to announce that it tells a "why" which it doesn't give.
I don't think that this person has explained anything. It does nothing futher to answer the basic question of our existance. If you say that the laws of nature have to just so to make us the way we are, sure, that is true and obivous. Of course if laws were a bit different then perhaps there would be a completely differnet form of life trying to unsderstand itself in a way we don't understand.
Personally I don't believe that we will ever understand our existance from science, these are questions more basic that which our knowlege is based upon. We leave to religion and theology those questions. Science can not go deeper than the axioms and faith that it is based upon.
You should say that there is a scarcity not a shortage. There is no shortage since a desired IT person can be hired for a price. If the price is more than companies are willing or able to pay it would still not be a shortage but would be a scarcity.

I think that it was known in the USA, but since VHS is very popular in the USA then it had almost no effect.
Seems like a fancy easy to fail machine when we could just go along and toss mines into the backs of a big dumptruck for later disposal.
I thought that was a cyber attack during that war. Examples of terrorism would be numerous.

I read a news story a while back that a S. American country had hired Russians to design themselves a primitive submarine to smuggle drugs.

Since SP2 my W2k has been running great. I think that it's usually bad drivers that mess up the OS, since they run at the level of the system.
And like other people said, you do better putting a computer together from standard parts than buying a major brand.
