Workaround:
There currently is none. This issue should be addressed with JDK1.4's support for headless operation.
in more than one of the bug reports. If they're putting off fixes until the 1.4 release, then 1.4 must not be that far off, and this will be the last 1.3.x release.
where Riker brings back a head mounted thing from Risa (sp?) that projects an image right into your eyes. They called it "just a game", but it wound up enslaving the entire ship.
One of the few (if not the only) Wesley episodes I thought was good, and he got a hot girl to boot.;-)
Actually, IP lawyers DO come in the ambulance chaser form factor. There are whole firms that do nothing but comb through patent records looking for something that might possibly apply to some big company. They then go licence the right to sue on behalf of the patent holder, or buy the patent out-right. It's really a slimy business.
Yep, I was there that year. It was Dr. Walker who implemented the system. Walker is a fast-moving but excellent programming teacher. That one class did more for the quality and structure of my programming than anything else I have done either before or since. (I'm now leading a team of programmers for the DOD doing a enterprise level java application, btw.)

About the LASIK surgury...
It's true that if you have LASIK surgery you may require glasses again when you are older, but this is due to the natural aging process of the eye, not the LASIK surgery. Your risk of needing reading glasses when you're old remains exactly the same as if you never had any eye surgery.
Your eye has special muscles that reshape the curve of your eye's natural lens. These muscles weaken over time, and can't change shape to focus on objects near to you. This is what reading glasses correct, and is a different problem than what LASIK corrects.
The release date for us humans that want to see it is
still the summer of 1983. I guess it takes that long to score
all the music, do all the film-editing, prepare all the promo
material, and all that junk.
I wish Lucas & Co. would get the thing going a little faster.
I can't really imagine waiting until 1997 to see all nine parts
of the Star Wars series.
MAN! It's 2002 almost - and we only have 4 of them out! Anyone care to predict when all 9 will be available on SuperVH-DVDRUS holographic cubes? Remember, do not think about the movie plot outside the specified viewing time or MS-AOL-DISNEY-AT&T-USGOV-TIME-WARNER will zap your brain for violating the DRM EULA!
I find it interesting that the very first mention of Microsoft talks about what they've promised in a future release of their software.:-)
additionally, they are
going to add a fair amount of hardware error recovery (bad block
handling, parity and power fail interrupts, etc.), as well as record
handling, shared data segments, synchronous writing, improved
interprocess communications, networking, and languages: Pascal, BASIC,
FORTRAN, and COBOL.
Wow, if they add all that, it sounds like it would be just what their customer needs!
Hold on, this man worked at Microsoft from 1991 to 1994. He led the Excel team. He led the VB team. This was win16. Excel is great now, but do you remember how much it sucked before office 95? And who the heck used VB for 3.1?
Even better! he wrote the Juno e-mail application. Believe me, this was no fine engineering here. Why does he know better then anyone other Tom, Dick or Harry what makes software project tick?
_Your_father_ had to tell you about fidonet?!? Good god man, how old are you? I consider myself a fairly young professional at the ripe old age of 22 here, and I used fidonet for years back when BBS's were all the rage...
Maybe I'm becoming one of those old fart geeks.

... they decided to implement the fabled Minitel [minitel.fr] in order to eliminate paper telephone directories.
Haha. Does this name worry anyone? It sounds very NewSpeak, and the fact the agency is designed to eliminate (telephone) books is even more 1984ish. What next? Minitrue? Minipax?

I've seen video footage of engine failures resulting in total destruction. The engines don't seperate from the wing. They're designed so that the plane can keep on flying even with total engine destruction.
Total engine destruction is the fan blades seperating. Imagine 100 blades rotating at 1000s of RPMs flying in every direction. The engine case takes the beating without the wing being damaged. The engine is destroyed but the plane keeps flying.
I don't know what this was, but it wasn't like any mechanical failure I've ever heard of.
I don't get it. Moderators can be real stupid sometimes. What we need 10x more moderator points given out each day, each worth.1 points. That way you get a better distribution and the effects of stupid people are averaged out more. (assuming that the average is non-stupid, but who knows...)
American Airlines jet crashes in New York
November 12, 2001 Posted: 10:06 AM EST (1506 GMT)
Smoke rises Monday morning from the crash site in Queens, New York.
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.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Queens police confirm an aircraft crashed Monday in the Far Rockaways neighborhood of the New York City borough.
The spokesman could not confirm the type of plane but said it crashed in the Rockaways at 122nd Street and Rockaway Beach Boulevard.
WCBS-TV reported that the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said it was an American Airlines 767 presumably on approach to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. The station showed pictures of a huge plume of smoke.

Plane crash in NYC An American Airlines plane has crashed in the Queens borough of New York City. The FAA identifies the flight as American flight 587, an Airbus A300 from JFK airport to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Thick smoke was billowing over the area, and local media reported several houses on fire.
who do you hold accountable if they collectively create an "illegal" whole? Would Netscape or MS be held responsible if someone wrote a FastTrack plugin for their browser?
No, MS nor Netscape would be responsible (according to the RIAA). The person who wrote the plugin would be.
NOTE: I think the RIAA's position is BS, I'm just pointing out an error in this thinking here.
Less space then the Nomad yes, but also MUCH MUCH SMALLER. You ever try putting a Nomad in your pocket and go for a walk? The Nomad is only good as a psuedo stereo component, or perhaps in your car. Not to mention the horrible battery life!
Also, how many HOURS does it take to transfer your 6.4gb MP3 collection onto your Nomad? I know my USB player takes forever to even fill up its 64mb memory. Firewire let's you do it BLAZINGLY FAST.
This is a marvel of engineering, very useful and I give apple much credit for coming out with this device.//lame my ass.
Also, did I mention automatic playlist/sing library synching with iTunes2? THIS is what portable music should be.
