The alternate scenario doesn't work because the FBI agent had collected (legally, and not from 1069) a number of photographs of Steiger in which he was engaging in child molestation. It's not just that the guy was in possession of random child pornography; he was in possession of it with himself in the pictures.
The problem the idea of images being planted by 1069 is that Steiger was in possession of photgraphs of child pornography with himself in the pictures.
NOW seems to be a pretty good time to pick up on decent processing power. NOW I can get a decent CPU for $99, a 320 GB drive for $95....and the list goes on. Silent 7600 GS for $110. Top name DVD recorders all day long for $28.
I just built that system for less than $600 and it uttlerly vaporizes the box I built last year at double the price.
But you are still on a 486 waiting for the right NOW time to upgrade.
I recently ordered Suse 10.1 and it arrived on DVD's...LOTS of them. They put a single bit on each DVD, in which was placed in a DVD box, which was wrapped in plastic, placed in a cardboard box, wrapped in bubble wrap, then placed into another box which was then labelled and shipped.
1. Make incomplete game 2. Release first pasrt of incomplete game as full version 3. Profit! 4. Release final portion of game later as an 'episode'. 5. Profit!
This would be a good time...and application for live Linux CD's or (insert OS here). The OS itself would run live from a CD-ROM, and include a set of auth controls between itself and the bank all on its own, well before the browser or web certs are needed.
First, you make fun games, then EA buys you, works your company into the ground until all the best talent leaves, then takes whatever is left and sells the same thing year after year after year with only minor revisions. Then the suits sit around in slack-jawed befuddlement at why the numbers are down, and business is dropping.
It's not like PC gaming is a new thing; it's been around long enough for companies to have a pretty firm grasp on what makes a game fun. And yet, the suits sit around in slack-jawed befuddlement at why the numbers are down, and business is dropping.
I'm Alaskan. I don't claim the guy, even though I'm Republican. Murkowski/Stevens are doing more harm than good these days, both are old men, and both are worn out old drunks that are pushing their incapable children on us.
The "Bridge to nowhere" isn't that. It's a bridge from Anchorage to Wasilla. Real estate in Anchorage is expensive and you don't get much for your dollar. House on a postage stamp type of thing. Wasilla, there's good value for the dollar, but the commute to Anchorage sucks. 1+hour one way, which would be a fraction of that with a bridge, not to mention massively reduced costs for agriculture, and the whole deal is a good thing...IF Stevens/Murkowski didn't have their mitts in it. Of their children, one is crooked, the other inept.
But yeah, Ted is just a worn out old drunk that needs to go.
Really, the article should be about who was best, first.
Carmack might be a bloody brilliant programmer, and that's what makes his early work so good, and that he had a brilliant design team to make his concepts into reality. Every product they made up to and including Quake 3 was off the charts good.
Everything since is just rubbish and not fun to play; it's just bad, rendering aside.
And Romero has nothing on his slate post ID that means anything; most of his work is the poster child of what not to do.
Carmack and Romero were neat topics like...10 years ago. Now that there are 100 companies doing it better and faster than they do, what of these guys? I hate to proclaim them relics because we are about the same age, but the truth is, neither Carmack nor Romero have brought anything new and good to the table beyond engine leasing and hair conditioner ad spots for the last 10 years.
We already have a *pretty* good free OS in the form of Linux, we already have *pretty* good apps for it. Why settle for Google or MSN Search or Yahoo search or whatever? I should think that a massively distributed OS search engine should do pretty well.
Forgive the semantics, focus on the idea.
Use a bit torrent style method of sharing bandwidth. Say one lonely PC can store 100mb of data, 15mb of which can be shared on the internet per day to save end-user costs x the number of Linux installs, prolly not a bad use for distributed computing and bandwidth sharing if I have ever heard of one.
It's an interesting study on things we take for granted when people are deprived of things like the sense of gravity and of place. Couple in the fact that humans are really crappy multi-taskers, and none of this surprises me. An astronaut is deprived of a great many senses, most of which need to be compensated for with conscious effort, which leaves less brain for other stuff.
Simple tasks aren't so simple anymore when your brain is trying to compensate for input that is no longer really there. And then they have to fight off vertigo, which is hard even for people on Earth.
All this I took for granted before a little bit of brain damage, which recoverying from is a trivial little bit of recovery over a long, long time. Sadly, I remember how easy thing were before my neurons got scrambled, everything now takes a lot of conscious effort, mostly due to the fact that I don't perceive my senses as I should, and sometimes I have to really think about things, in single file to make it through the day. Forget about making internet postings and listening to music at the same time. I cannot fathom more than one task at a time, really, when I used to be able to do many. It's constant vertigo, every second of every day, and after some months, it becomes a heavy burden.
The point being is that their brains are more than likely scrambling to make sense out of the senseless, and leaving a screwdriver out in the void is probably pretty small taters, considering everything else.

Cue obligatory 'Weapons of Mast Destruction' quote from Dubya because Nucular doesn't sound evil enough.

1. Why are newsgroups such as this allowed to exist in the first place?
2. The hacker was putting trojans in a newsgroup that existed for the sole purpose of distributing child pornography, which;
3. The arrested went to on his own volition;
4. The FBI didn't contact 1069 and have him hack others' computers; he contacted the FBI with the information;
5. The FBI investigated the arrested person and discovered that not only was he in possession of child pornograph but;
6. He was involved in the manufacture of it by taking photos of himself with his victim, aged 4-6;
7. Let him rot in jail.
Male, female. Don't care what. Buying your way to space is just that weather you wear pantyhose or not.
This is not news. News for those that don't care.
I bring a laptop to bed because the iBrator I bought for my girlfriend only has a 3 foot USB cord.
She dropped and gave me twenty when I told her I ordered the new 2.4 GHz wireless model...WiFi hotspot has a whole new meaning.
Pay me to screw off or I'll go to work somewhere else!
"The door is to your left."
Yeah... 4 weeks ago the AMD 3700+ was $200.
...and the list goes on. Silent 7600 GS for $110. Top name DVD recorders all day long for $28.
Now it's $99.

This is nothing.
I have you ALL beat.

A real bookmark manager. Why do browsers do so poorly in this area, and why is Opera the worst at it?

As long as Google stays in Beta, I'd guess it'll be in a limited area for a decade or two. :P

Is it time for an Open Source Search Engine?

Open Source Search Engine.
The time is now.
How long before exploiters cobble together some code that takes advantage of this? How about driver writers also taking advantage of this?
You are using an ECS montherboard which is junk.
You are using a VIA chipset, which is also junk.
People that buy junk cannot complain about the quality of an OS if their underlying foundation is garbage.
How would they pronounce it?
:(
Encliption? No really, this is a very serious question, please don't mod me down.
So code your own. WEP, WAP WIP WOP WUP fuckee doo, really.
:D
