So, Lycos thought (apparently by their lack of R & D) that they would just advertise and exist and as people flock to Yahoo and Google...
Uh not really. They had a great R&D team, as a former employee, the issue that I saw was that the night school harvard mba's didn't think technology would be important. So many great ideas thought up there took to long to get through the ROI meetings that the competitors beat them to the punch every time.
I remember being in a design meeting and suggesting that IM would be an extremly good thing. They didn't move on it until three years later, and by then it was too late
In a weekend, anyone could make up an open sourced application for weather, time syncro, and create a website for "Neutered Gator". Better Yet, create an ActiveX virus I mean control that de-installs Gator, and replaces it with Neutered Gator.
Why would you even by a Wal-mart computer in the first place? Have that small computer shop make you a customized solution that is faster and more stable.
I remember how much time I spent colleting those toys. Didn't they try and bring back the actual show one before? I seemed to me that is was nothing more then the orignal with quasi high tech scene transitions.
Go Transformers, Go-Bots, and Vultron, the bane of my youth.
Well tripod now has it so that you can pay $9 and ads go away. And they can release the bandwitdh limitation. So you have both the free loaders with all the hassels, or you can have more bandwidth for slightly less then an ISP for a network larger then the typical ISP.
a way to get that AthlonXP to overclock. I wouldn't pay for one of those alrady made jobs. I would rather do it myself. At least someone has given a direction.
It's about time some more compition is ariving on the scene. The more Distros that get this kind of exposure, the larger market penetration for Linux. This is good news.
Wasn't it last year when Berltlesman tried to get in league with Napster, and that CEO was removed? I thought I read a lot of press about that being a very bad move for BMG. CEO was for it, but the board was not.
I ran into this in my company at the time of our acquisition. Here they make you sign this same contract yearly. There is a page that says previous work that is excluded from the company. You fill this out with what projects you may work on for the year. This is then signed by you the employee and your employer. So then you've gotten your projects excluded. You HAVE to go through this extra paper work. Our M&A Lawyer said this was all SOP. It's dumb ass, but it has to be done.
I agree with you here. I was in school during that time, and we were getting games like crazy. At the time we didn't really have morpheus or KaZaa so we all were ripping CD's and putting them on our MP3 server like mad. We were all about games, so we had several that would provide the goods.
What happened later, a major crackdown on these practices. And those students now have jobs and money. Do we pirate as much? No.
We didn't have money, but had the time. The formula for warez.
HA Ha, I concur with you whole heartedly. I just finished reading this article, and was looking at these posts. I seems some ppl just read the editor's comments and react accordingly.
Hmmm....I read this a year ago on here. It's just like those stupid jokes servers I was on back before gopher. After awhile, I get the same jokes again. So I unsubscribed, nothing new.
Still it's an awesome video, who knows what videos they have now, of things that will look extermely weird to our children.
Remember the old days in computing? Ok so not that old since I'm only 24. But I stated computers by playing games on the TRS-80, then CoCo. Remeber their Basic programming? And then I got my first PC. QBasic and DEBUG.exe to hack stuff. That was the time when Sierra owned me. I learned how to type playing KQ, SQ, Hero's Quest, then to be QFG. My Tandy 1000-SX was great with the sound and the Tandy/EGA graphics. I went to other "hackers" houses with my Dad, as he was looking for Amiga, PC, EPROM burners, and other stuff to play with. Well nostalgia isn't everything but there was something magical about the old Adventure style of games. Yes, I didn't get alot of the Space Quest jokes, because I wasn't old enough to see the movies, but as time went on and I saw these movies, I laughed so hard.
I am joining the crowd that doesn't want SQ7 to be a FPS, it would ruin the whole magic that Sierra once stood for. If this happens, well I'll be buying my son and myself this game. Time to pass on the torch.
NEW YORK (CNN) -- An American Airlines jet with 255 people on board crashed Monday on takeoff from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.
The plane went down at 9:17 a.m. EST in the Rockways section of the New York City borough of Queens, about five miles from Kennedy Airport.
CNN confirmed the plane was American Airlines Flight 587 from New York to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The plane was a Boeing Airbus A300. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said the plane was carrying 246 passengers and nine crew members.
Asked if terrorism was suspected, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Bill Schumann said, "All options are open at this time. We have very limited information."
The Pentagon said surveillance fights were going on in the area and nothing unusual had been spotted.
At least four houses were on fire, and a huge plume of smoke could be seen rising from the site. The New York Fire Department dispatched 44 firetrucks and 200 firefighters to the scene.
All three New York City-area airports -- Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark -- closed after the crash, along with all the city's bridges and tunnels. Mayor Rudy Giuliani declared a Level One emergency, mobilizing all available police, fire and emergency personnel.
I can hear the phone lines ringing off the hook with the scared masses canceling thier thanksgiving flights. If it was an accident, then it just dealt another major blow to our emotions and economy.
Pray for the familes of yet another downed flight.

Yes, I watched two episodes of Lost that I had missed on my 19" LCD. Some pixelation, sound was good.
...unless you take in to count a very large Linux installation that runs Matchmaker.com and has been running since the Linux conversion in 1999....

or maybe just a troupe of monkeys...
Read the last line:
"As soon as a packet is flagged, investigators would apply for warrants to assemble the packets and read the messages' contents."
So that means my secret falafel recipe is safe right?
In a weekend, anyone could make up an open sourced application for weather, time syncro, and create a website for "Neutered Gator". Better Yet, create an ActiveX virus I mean control that de-installs Gator, and replaces it with Neutered Gator.
You could make a fortune!
I'll just wait until it comes out. I bought 21 tickets for our office to go and see it friday with the Digital Projection and THX sound.
www.movietickets.com has advance ticket sales. Get them while their still hot.
...is actually getting laid while in Graduate school?
It's 11:37am here and someone should be leaving the theatre. Anyone care to post a review?

....especially with that note where
...which was surprising since I run WinXP. And, on a side note, I was running it on a LCD screen...
What's with that? They have given in to the corporate bastards, so where's the "I played the linux beta" Haha....sellouts.

This is a joke. If you want P3P you add this to your apache.conf
/> />
<Location
Header append P3P "policyref=\"/w3c/p3p.xml\"
Header append P3P "CP=\"IDC DSP COR CURa ADMa DEVa CUSa PSAa IVAa CONo OUR IND UNI STA\""
</Location
Then create a directory w3c off of your document root, create a file named p3p.xml
and then write something like this
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<META xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/12/P3Pv1">
<POLICY-REFERENCES>
<POLICY-REF about="http://Your URL/policy.xml">
<INCLUDE>/*</INCLUDE>
</POLICY-REF>
</POLICY-REFERENCES>

So how difficult is that? Oh what's that? you don't use apache? That's your fault.

Of course it could have also been a shoulder stinger missle that we've seen all over CNN.
Some people have eluded to that being a possible scenario of the TWA flight in '98. Either way it's scary.
I can hear the phone lines ringing off the hook with the scared masses canceling thier thanksgiving flights. If it was an accident, then it just dealt another major blow to our emotions and economy.
Pray for the familes of yet another downed flight.
