Here in Hamilton County Ohio (where Cincinnati is) they have file cabinets of warrants (yes they are still on paper) and no one even looks for these people.
It's simple laziness.
Plus they [nati cops] shot one guy for running on traffic tickets - and two cops got shot two or three years ago going to someone's home.
Cops only close 50% of cases every year - and some of that 50% comes from last year. [see playboy few months back]
I think this technology is pretty cool, but of course I hate the idea of this eye in the sky.
It takes everyone's picture - so if your really paranoid then, well there you have it.
But if I'm a criminal visting or living in Tampa - this takes the fun out of cops and robbers. If you're in public anyone has the right to take your picture - and of course take it to the police. But this is the 'napster' syndrome [listen to bob&tom-napster allows millions of copies of a CD unlike taping a CD which would take forever...tangent]. Not only does this thing snap a photo of you, but it does it at such a rate that it becomes more than just taking a few shots.
Who elected these phucks that are doing this? Because I wouldn't be voting for them. It seems more technology means the 'cops' of cops and robbers get the upperhand.
It just doesn't seem like fair play. But if you want to be really [really] paranoid - you could watch "Enemy of the State" and compare.
I guess the rest of us will care when they start documenting where we go in Tampa. i.e. "Mr. Neal went to a strip club last night on Ocean Blvd. - let's follow him for a few days."
I thought that X was for that. But if you prefer a to make all the window managers the same (or make one the 'standard') then that would set us back - not to mention piss a lot of people off.
I use Window Maker, and I'm not going to switch, it's that simple. And people who use gnome, will use it.
So, your argument is VERY faulty. If you would like to code for all this icon play and mounting of devices [which is covered] then do it and submit - but don't complain.
Using discovered hosts, this could be a sweet way to share files with people.
I submit that this isn't used for real networking, but could be used to join two home LANs across the neighborhood.
By using only `discovered` hosts - and connecting to only other neighborhood hosts you could set up a great file network. Imagine, none of your data would actually need to be sent over the wires, just beam it back and forth.
But I guess as soon as other hosts `discover` your rouge LAN it would be hammered.
I've always wanted to share my cable connection with my [little] sister - she just lives 3 miles away.

Really - I lived in the arcade for a long time. Midway didn't make much compared to others [namco for one]. But they did make some goodies. NBA Jam - which i play now on DC [NBA on NBC: Showtime]. MK is good, but if it's on a home system it's no good. Unless you shell out money for a stick.
Pinball is the shit! My laudry-mat has 'The Shadow' and I spend more on that than the clothes. Even though 2/3 games are free due to high scores.
Does anyone know a game put out by Namco which you sat in, drove around this small planes and shot each other? It was the first FPS with a deathmatch mode - 'cept Doom, but I wasn't ever on a lan.
I know no one on/. believes in God - but I've seen somethings that said a higher being could've built the pyramids.
The egyptian pyramids line up with Leo, but 15,000 years ago (or BC -can't remember). In S.America there ziggarauts line up with... damn can't remember. And in Ankor - they line up with Draco. All from way before they were built, and really no one to document the positions in the sky.
Some say that a diety of some sort either built them for the people or commanded them to build them.
I do know that there are pieces of stone that were carved that would take years today with modern cutting tools.
Is there or will there be a desktop market for this chips? I've been reading about 64-bit chips [here and there - never got into them] for years now, but yet I see no 64-bit machines.
I never have even seen an 'enterprise' computer so I have couldn't even say this machines exist, but are they ever going to be desktop machines?
They do run linux right? I've seen that directory in/arch/ before. What is the chance of us getting them into the mainstream? Wouldn't they rock at 3d games and what not?
Maybe Gnutella would be scalable if we all were packing them.
I guess I'm really a lamer since all my experience is with x86 crap.
If there is life that's not all to good. If we go to check on it and we DIE that would be bad.
But if we could kickstart life there [that would probaly kill us anyways] that could be cool.
But the cool thing would be - if we could live/stay there. Jupiter is pretty far away, and if we colonized it then it would be awsome cause our new snotty Jovian friends would be far away so we wouldn't have to look at them.
But really it looks to be a promising rest stop on the way to farther things. Not to mention if the earth blew up or something, the 'survivors' would be tucked away safetly.
What kinda impact would that have on our world if people could leave and then there is people who hate you because of what planet you lived on?
One thing I forgot, you would have to make one person program the questions to ask [follow a toddler around to figure out which ones are good - 'why?' is my favorite] and another person to teach it.
One day when I was watching Discovery Science [some crap about robots] I had an idea. Why don't they build these bots with all the hardware so it can walk, roll, whatever - give it vision and a damn microphone for ears and teach it.
Some fucker from MIT could just walk around campus with it and say "look, that's a woman" or "look, that's called a garbage can". Slowly it could 'learn' all the stuff it would need to know.
You wouldn't let it roam around on it's own until you taught it more, just like a child. You couldn't expect it to act just like a human because it just isn't dammit!
I know that this idea would need lots of computer power - but what is stopping us in this day and age? I remember a Pentium 100 could do a lot of shit-and pretty fast. Why not build an R2-D2 style unit and just stuff it with fans - memory and hundreds of old processors [and hard drives blah blah].
Now I guess when the unit had a problem it could dial up [via wireless modem] this CYC thing and ask it a question.
Are you a corporate kiss ass Nurgster? Get real - we - citizens flip the bill on everything. And please don't respond with 'well corps pay salaries that pay taxes' because I've heard that a million times.
The Gov't lives on your tax dollars - The companies get some of that cash - and the whole time you're working hard to make them both richer.
get more coke, to work more, blah blah. If companies were all powerfull and great and good there wouldn't be class action lawsuits etc.
In USA the dollar is king - nothing else comes first.

It's on HBO all the time. His "Undressed" talks about the UK & space. It'll sum it all up.
Why don't the people there just plain stop paying taxes [given you pay city taxes].
Phuck 'em - they don't work - they don't get paid!
If they are huge that would be awsome.

It's like the 'Neverending Story'.
Personally I'm glad it's over.

If you had several receivers in the home, you could host one and serve to the one in the bedroom right?
I wouldn't know, I have cable.
When can I hack into that box?
Don't they know if the ads get worse we are just going to hold the company placing the ad resposible.
If I see an ad on my INCOMING e-mail about VA Linux Systems [just an example]- then I will never buy one fucking thing from them.
I'd only be pissed off at them. Even though they aren't the ones that came up with the idea, they just bought into it.
Only the weak and old respond to spam and pop-ups. The rest of us just end up hateing the 'sponser'.
Did they make pinball games?
They do? Aw shit!

I doubt that someone is going to do all that to watch five minutes of a cammed movie.
Use PAN! You wouldn't have this problem.
Cummon people!
It's like saying "they shut napster down, why?"
I'm not for or against this action, but my common sense tells me that this type of thing would happen.
alt.binaries.* usually means piracy - and it is illegal. Sorry kids. It's not like they cut alt.legalization.pot - they cut clear violators.
Nice try, but the divx codec doesn't let you watch incomplete downloads.
