what happened to the German Transrapid. It's latest installment was imho somewhere in Japan too and ppl were pretty excited about that.
Another fact that came to my mind was a reason for never building such a 500kph-train in Germany. If they ever want to transport nuclear waste to a recycling facility.....
It's been a kind of sport for certain ppl to glue themselves to the rails with chains or even concrete. I wonder how many activist 'd be fried on the track or what how long (distance) it'll take for such a train to stop.
As I don't know, too lazy to check now, how much a Yen is, I wonder about the economic factors. Will it be cheaper to take the train for certain distances? Or would it be cheaper to take your normal flight? I mean... yeah 500kph is great.. but... think about the landscape, the money and the real overall usability. Dont you think a "normal" train would do the same for ***LESS*** money (and 2 hours more)?
What about 'em?
Isn't that the more low-cost alternative for broadband access in rural areas? But I have to clue about bandwith and pi(iiiiiiiiiiiii)ng.
So they've been testing it for a year? How come in our dot-com-future that this took so long to hit the streets (or better the rural farmways)?
Well... if I visit your link I'm prompted to a infinite netscape alert message after running the mouse over a map node, had to kill the process. This isn't quite the result I expected....
I'm unable to see the economic advantage for Mist-On to ban the other party's FAQ. I'm unable to understand why this went to court and wasted tax-dollars.
But I'm happily able to smile that they got bashed. I wonder how long it'll take until you can copyright your everyday phrases or your dinner-prayer.... sad
Like Entropia some ppl built up a whole cyberworld where you could meet friends and have 3-D access to other applications. And of course one would be able to participate in fancy sword-fights and supersonic motorcycle races. Legalized mafia and dragster-style pizza delivery where you could legally kill the pizzy guy when he failed to deliver your stuff on time.....
Sadly somebody wrote a virus for it that affected the people behind the characters. I hope that won't happen anytime soon.
I remeber using the language... uhm.. was it called Basic? No... Logix? No....damn.
Whatever, we had a so called project-week at school here in germany and our geography teacher, he really was an apple fan, taught us to do fancy graphic stuff with it.
I remember the triangle which you could rotate and move with some commands to draw lines. We even went into functions, like draw a circle with radius x and so on.
It was pretty impressive to our parents who were there on the exhibition day, and it was my first time in some programming language;-)
Maybe that was not interesting at all, but I just had to tell you...
But isn't there some solution to set up your vast song database on your main server in another room and tell 'em to server your AUX-input of your normal Hifi Equip. by a (obviosly non IR) remote controller?
What about MTV? And muting the thing when you get a important phone call in the next room? And think about some nice case mods maybe in the wall or otherwise hidden...
And think about all the consultant guys that make their customers pay for admins doing the all the update. So when you're just a beep and a click (like M$) away propably nobody will pay you shit for that
You'd probably end up with much more than 2-5$ per copy. But it would maybe end the senseless price difference between an album and a single (~3:1 price for ~12:3 content).
Does anyone know how excactly the price for an album is splitted and to who the money goes? E.g. xx% to label, xx% to artist(s) etc.
Could somebody explain the rights for photocopying? I mean...duh.. there are millions of them scattered throughout the US and EU. And I bet not even 1% of the public users have their copyright permission. So what is so wrong about a CD-copymachine? Maybe just the lobby, public interest etc..?
Thumbs are one of the major evolutionary factors that are responsible for the state in which humankind is now. The opposing thumb for handling tools, the brain and the upright walk.... So the fact that ppl excessively use their thumbs could be -if you look at it from another perspective- referred to evolution. Though the term 'mutation' is rather wrong here.
As long as we'll use keyboard we won't end up using just our opposing thumbs:-)
Well who the hell would go on stage with such a crappy piece of fan-art?
The marketing concept: Fans buy but lack in playing skill; Prof. players won't buy because of embarrassement --->> yeah, we can produce painted crap and sell it overpriced (cos' we'll have to pay 80% to LucasArts anyway)
A month ago someone on/. pointed me to http://public.logica.com/~stepneys/cyc/l/liberty .h tm and it told me the following:
<SNIP> The phrase "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" is widely attributed to Voltaire, but cannot be found in his writings. With good reason. The phrase was invented by a later author as an epitome of his attitude. It appeared in The Friends of Voltaire (1906), written by Evelyn Beatrice Hall under the pseudonym S[tephen] G. Tallentyre. ... Hall wrote:
...The men who had hated [the book], and had not particularly loved Helvétius, flocked round him now. Voltaire forgave him all injuries, intentional or unintentional. 'What a fuss about an omelette!' he had exclaimed when he heard of the burning. How abominably unjust to persecute a man for such an airy trifle as that! 'I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,' was his attitude now. ... Hall herself claimed later that she had been paraphrasing Voltaire's words in his Essay on Tolerance: "Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too." </SNAP>

Anyone remember the novel "snowcrash"?

This case sounds (or better looks) like fun.
But isn't there some solution to set up your vast song database on your main server in another room and tell 'em to server your AUX-input of your normal Hifi Equip. by a (obviosly non IR) remote controller?
Anyone any experience?

So I play RTCW with a mouse. I could imagine holding a pen instead of it. 'd be more accurate and faster.
But have you thought about simultanously pushing 2 buttons over an over again? You'd lose the pros
I hope the grammar-nazis won't kill me for that
...now make really sense :)

HAHAHAHAHAHA, this reminds me of the great fun I had reading through Shifmans' bullshit :-)))
and oxymoron could well be an anagram to *nixmoron... like ... maybe
Thank you for making my day :-)))))))))))))))
Har Har, GREEEEEEEEEEAT :-)
Thank you for that!

Oh yeah... just read it.
The reason seems to be money.... Should've thought about this earlier
