thing though about japan is that most people don't really understand alot of what's really going on or the cultures behind japan... i think people like japan because it is exotic and alien to western viewers, but yet has adopted enough of western culture that it maintains an allusion of compatability... it's a kind of fusion of centuries of culture imported from many different sources(european, american, chinese, korean.. etc)... that's slowly assimilated and twisted by the japanese mind set into something uniquly their own, but yet looks like the original source
it can be a beautifull thing... heh
ok i'm no expert on bill gates, but i've read a few of his depositions and this doesn't sound anything like him... someone tell me it's really april 1st and not november 1st please
lego got too expensive once i had ot pay for it with my own allowance... last thing i remember building, like 15 years ago, was a klingon battle cruiser(the d-7 type... not the wimpy "bird of pray") still have it in fact.. dunno what happened to the rest of my lego though
i havent' read the review yet, but i've had problems with linux on promise ata100 controlers.. i hope this thing has been fixed by the time these boards come out...
when intel actually fixes the problems with the chipset (i850) and gets p4 samples and mobos out to independant reviewers and they report it's worth the money i'll consider the p4... till then i'm still recomending amd to anyone except heavy gamers
fyi... there was a win2k expert from ibm talking over at my work place last week... he speficially said office97 doesn't for with win2k... you get basic functionality, but many features will die because they still call on 16bit.dlls
that might be the source of your woes
good luck
It has already been pointed out that human error could very likely be the cause of the hack... as even the most secure "Gates" are comprimised if someone forgets to close them on the way out(or in)
the thing that makes me wonder on this is... if ms people are that careless with security... how careless are they with software design?

something intresting on that topic.. my NT server froze once... well more than once, but this time... and i couldn't get it to reboot... got fustrated and pulled the plug... plugged it back in and it was still on...
If the TPC benchmarks really are that unrealistic, why does anyone (MS, Oracle, IBM, whoever) care about them?
and anser for you in one word... pentium4... most consumers don't care about real world performance or stability.. all they want is the biggest numbers
from what i've heard english is considered by many to be the hardest to learn as a foreign language... many people who are used to more structured languages have a hard time understanding expections within exceptions to grammatical patterns(i would shudder to call them rules)
i can't say for taiwan, but from what i know about japan i think it's more likely their attitude about education rather than inherant pricipals of the language that promote high literacy... not to mention japan has 3 different character sets people must learn
the promlem with chinese(written) i see is when importing foreign words there wont be a standard character set for each souns for quite a while... ask the japanese they went through this pain before katakana was standardised
i think we seem to be at some agreement that the danger is mostly in certain extreme individuals... i for one watch alot of porn regularly and don't see myself a objectifing women i know on the contrary in my case atleast i find a healty open attitude about sex has had no negative affects in how i view women as people
as far a a game that your object is to rape and molest children... i'd just like to say that anything that portrays real children or exposes children to or in sexual sitation i would disagree to... then you open the whole when is a person considered an adult issue which i won't touch... now on the other hand adults dressed up as "school girls" or videos depicting females in simulated rape enviornments do exists and i don't mind their existence as long as children are not involed in any part of it(not that i'd go out and buy them)
also when i said the video game example i meant that post where i mentioned carmageddon as an example wher eyou get points for runnning over innocent bystandards... your hypothetical adolecent rape game i would put into the same catagory and worse because i do consider rape a violent crime just like murder or assault
welll yeah... the motivation part is harder than it sounds i'm guessing... anyone ever saw that movie with mira sorveno and val kilmer? even if the desire is there i think human fear of the unknown is going to stand in the way of the remapping.. but presumably a younger child will have a much easier time adapting to such changes... according to popular psychology anyhows

yeah last year sometime there was soem hub-bub about those things being able to see through clothing under certain conditions in the nighttime setting... not like you'll get much detail... you're better off going to the mall with one of those "x-ray" glasses
wasn't this reported on a few months ago? or is this a different technology?
i also rember another experiment where they implanted fetal retinal tissue into damaged maculas to try and have it regrow naturally
being a sufferer of damaged retina myself i like to hear about this stuff
if you were to compare this to bad tires on ford cars... it would be more like "new ford explorer add-on can fix bad tires" or something like that.. but everone knows i hate bad analogies...*cackle*
Ever tried to install RedHat 7 in a system that boots from an Promise IDE controller?
i think this was a driver problem for alll linuxes... i had similar problems with corel linux on an a7v with a built in promise controler... new bios update supposedly fixes it, but i haven't had time to check yet
true it still occurs... i guess what i was trying to say is if it's bad for society or not and same with the video game example.. as long as the viewer knows how to diffrentiate fantasy from reality... or something like that
a) one button doesn't make it more stupid, but many of us like fast access to things like context menus and a programable 3rd button... it's not stupid but it does slow me down
b) i think alot of these gui issues are really about personal preference... you may like the menu bar on top and i may not.. perhaps what's needed is the ability to let the user choose settings like such?
objectivication of women? if the woman in question does not mind being objectified.. or even likes it.. is it wrong? i find games like "carmageddon" more disturbing than a tiny screen shot of a topless woman. and even that is not too bad as long as people can seperate fantasy from reality(hmm... wait.. er.. yeah)

thanks for clearing that up i was thinking why are they using asc1 when everyone else is on asc2?
