Or even if they only implemented their own 802.11 network at very high signal power, causing IBM's traffic to be filtered as noise. But then again, IBM isn't that stupid, and they probably either have a huge radius of land around the factory that they control (very likely also for coporate espionage prevention), use very high transmission power themselves, or have some sort of EM shielding in the factory walls.
On the contrary, Perelandra, as what could have been if Adam and Eve had obeyed, is the original Christian utopia. Also there is the peaceful dominion of man over the animals which doesn't involve eating them (take that meatitarians!). I never thought of Malacandra (first book) as a utopia because it was stated that it was a world in decline due to the actions of satan. Also the mountains were a wasteland.
by CS Lewis was one of the best utopian sci-fi trilogies to be forgotten by almost everyone. It consists of "Out of the Silent Planet", "Perelandra", and "That Hideous Strength". Pure allegory at parts, but funny and inspiring through and through (other than a bit at the end of Perelandra where Lewis lapsed into his philosophical style).
Although you should reconsider the group thing. Groups are awesome for motivation which can make them worth more effort than you might initially be willing to expend. Hearing real people ask why you didn't work out yesterday is often far more effective than hearing your consceince ask. And if you do a lot of strength training and less aerobics, do yoga too to avoid pulled muscles.
On the don't-wanna-buy-anything note, do a ton of yardwork like planting those cheap trees from Hechingers, raking leaves (get a magnolia tree, they'll let you do this year round), and planting tomatoes. Moderate though so you don't break your back. Or fill milk jugs with varying amounts of sand and use them as dumbbells. Or (more for the males) deck your friends everytime you see them. It's good strength training to wrestle, plus you'll learn to brace yourself better for sudden impacts. Also if you can get an old Charles Atlas body-building kit, they work really well for that strong, but not steroid abusing strong look.
Ridley explores possible explanations and ramifications of this knowledge (it's pretty hard to refute evolution with the facts he presents).
I assume you mean "supporting creationism" as the equivalent of refuting evolution. Those who support creationism do so with nothing but faith and holy books as their evidence. Thus debate on such a provincial logical point (rather than faith as a whole) with such folks is pretty much a dead end. Stop baiting people.
Self preserving networks should have a node notify it's peers if it's going under due to a traffic spike ("Avenge me my comrades . . . *gasp*"). At which point that node would tell a friend (or ten) to ping (or request a file if the attacker itself is on the p2p network) the attacker just to make sure they weren't injured in their own attack.
It would be like hitting somebody in the arm so they forget about their broken foot. It wouldn't be a DOS attack itself, just a thousand concerned P2Pers who want to make sure the MPAA's computers are in good enough health to continue their legal actions.
Hopefully they don't work too well. Otherwise a flash photograph could fry the display chip on OLED using pdas. I guess they might need to start surge supressing the display.
Personally I just use VIM to write.obj files. Sure NURBS are a bit hard to do at first, but after a while you can just see a scene appear right out of the numbers as they scroll down your screen.
There are braile readers for blind to read ASCII chars off the screen, right? Well, just plug that reader into text-mode quake, and Blammo. They're playing quake. Other than the fact that their text-reader would sound like the Micromachine Man on speed. But this would be great for conventions. Save space and power with headless fps terminals. Plus it would be harder for those of us with sight. Possibly more fun too. No more people breathing over your should if you're good. Not to mention I can stop buying the latest GeForce and start buying the latest SoundBlaster.
Use whatever software works best as long as it can export to one of the bazillion formats supported by PolyTrans. It's the best 3d format conversion software on the market.
If you own a forest, somebody wanders into it, gets lost and dies is it your fault? If I right a bs malloc library that occasionally wipes boot sectors and don't force it upon others is it my fault? And if I abandon my car in my backyard (yes I have a broken down car in my backyard, yes front yards are different) I will not be forced to dispose of it. If I abandon it on a highway I'm imposing upon the owner of the highway. If I give out information I impose upon nobody. That's why apocalyptic visionaries can roam the streets with foreboding sandwich-boards, but yelling fire in a theatre is illegal. Offering vs. forcing.
I figured they made the connection between floating mines and snapping turtles as both hurting a lot (I hear). Not sure why they would want their device to cause pain though.
If both have programming you would enjoy, choose whichever has better coverage in your area. For reference XM uses a geostationary satellite over each coast for the whole US, and Sirius uses 8 "rotating" satellites. Both use local repeaters to help with dead spots in major cities. So if you're in a hilly area near the midwest, Sirius probably wins out, but if you're in a large metropolis choose the cheaper one. Three bucks a month is $36 a year after all. And that's a lot of beer.
I'd prefer that commercials that show up twice get skipped so I don't have to see 50 pizza hut, 2000 you-are-watching-Fox and 100 anti-smoking commercials on my family guy tape. I'd be happy just skipping the repeats which is far closer to not being theft.

So foreign spys can just look at the remenants of what used to be on the hard drive. Unless they wipe the decrypted data 20 or so times . . .
Wow! $200USD! That'll be a great reliable system, just like the eMachine I threw in the trash last year!
Seriously, you get what you pay for.

It's not actually a cold war. They actively fight daily in the Kashmir region making the war very hot indeed.

Why don't they just do it like watches do?

Of course, they won't be able to watch their own movies on their computers now. Unless they use DeCSS . . .

All one needs for volumetric rendering ("voxels") is 3d texturing capability.
