and as long as Kennedy shoots the films in Australia, enough of the Australian culture, with it's swaggering, hard drinking, tough individualistic nature that show in Mad Max I and II, will flavor Mad Max IV so that it can avoid the worst excesses of the namby-pamby PC culture we live in.
True, the Aussie have had to turn in their guns, and since the Olympics in Sydney they can no longer beat and kill the blackfellas with impunity, but they're still just about the most macho sorts on earth.
So, yes, I have high hopes for this sequel, and as a devoted Mad MAx fan, you can bet that once it's been shot, I will stay up all night scouring WinMX, edonkey and Kazaa for the divx to download.
an confidential inhouse one, and an obfuscated one to give to the company, full of misleading variables names, fake variables, incorrect subroutines, etc. Of course, they both compile correctly.
You just need to write an obfuscator then, something that takes the inhouse code and changes variable names and adds bogus modules and subroutines.
Amaxzingly enough, the deaf can drive. I live near a technical deaf school, and quite a few drive. I just hope they don't try to use this cell ohone and drive at teh same time.
phones. When you are trying to packet send and receive while jumping from cell to cell, you don't want the OS hung while a Window repaints, or an icon flickers on and off. You want an realtime OS tied down to the actual sending/recieving packets and doing the d/a a/d conversion on the speaker and microphone. You want a steady stream of conversation, you don't want the equivalent of an oral hourglass.
This is also why Windowing software is also the wrong paradigm for industrial strength routers. The reason CICSCO certified people make such great money compared to test passsing MCSE monkeys is that the Cisco OS is all commandline/terminal driven, when you're routing a T3, you don't the overhead for pretty graphics.
if it wasn't England, where the subjects already have no civil rights, and just about every public place is already remotely monitored by video camera.
But the UKians don't seem to mind, as long as they can drink pints of warm flat real ale, take lots of pills and ketamine, get a few drunken snogs in and watch Manchester United win again in Rugby. Drugs and footie, the bread and circuses of the 21st century.
so your Big National Laboratory has a point about trusting an operating system that's been put together by people who aren't American. Many are Europeans, who because they live in a socialist, pacifistic paradise are insensitive to the security needs of a government agency entrusted with keeping the world safe under the Pax Americana. Many Open Source developers are from third world countries like India, Taiwan and LapLand. Their standard of living is so poor, and Open Source pays so poorly, that they can easily be bribed by a handful of rupees or drachmas or pounds into including assembly language Trojan Horses that would fatally compromise the security of Linux.
I think your IT director is right, rely on an American Operating System, coded 100% by Americans, yes, we're talking Microsoft Windows 2000. Deep in their heart of hearts, Bill Gates, Staver Ballmore and Jim Allchin know that America is the best country for them to live in (if they lived in England, half their personally generated wealth would be taken away to buy heroin for junkies), and they will work hard to make a safe OS that willl ensure the American hegemony.
Linux is fine for a hobby, but I wouldn't trust my country with it.

One of the biggest use for these will be as weapons, count on it. And this will get the Greenies off the Navies back (at least until they find some other windmill to tilt at, like deaf whales or something).
There have been a variety of Navy programs that used trained sea mammals to protect Naval bases, for instance the trained dolphins trained to bump into a VC frogman in Kham Rhan bay, but they never told the dolphins that the bumping hat was an activated mine. Boom!, one less flipper, and one less Charlie.
There are also reports of using sea lions, seals other cetaceans to watch for submersibles and boats, and hit them, forcing a detonation. For instance, Day of the Dolphin is a thinly veiled documentary on teh CIA's attempt to train dolphins to blow up Castro's yacht.
So, with these, everyone will win. The Greenies cute little dolphins don't have to kill, and the US Navy can continue to enforce the Pax Americana, and the rest of the world (except for evildoers) can go about their business, criticizing war mongering Americans, yet profiting from the most peaceful age the world has known since the Roman Empire. We business savvy sorts call that a win-win situation.
I remember when having a solid math background was de reguire for a programmer. Of course, I'm talking the mid 80's, engineering school and Fortran, so I'm kind of krufty.
I wonder how much better could we be if coders knew basic math, if they know how those little bitty chips actually computed the sine of something instead of assuming it works. We would probably have rock solid operating systems without all the glitzy GUI stuf..
That's a real small bullet, about as big as a.22 we all grew up with. In order for it to be lethal, it needs to be shot at about 1000 mps (Mach 3 ish).
It's probably a disaffected, over intellectual loner in high school or college with an M-14 or a bolt action.223 hunting rifle with a scope, who's taking out his feeling of inadequacy and powerlessness against random people. Needless to say, he's never been laid, either.

On the surface, GSM phones sound neat, global connectivity anywhere you go in the world, but is that really the best thing for America?
Right now, most Americans have no need to travel outside North America, yes, Canada and Mexico (both old and new) are plenty foreign for us. The few Americans that do travel outside North America usually do so on the corporate dollar, and can afford Iridium phones or satellite phones. Basically, there's little market for GSM phones among Americans.
Also, there's the security issue involved. Right now, American phones can only be cracked by the American goverment, we wouldn't have that security if we adopted foreign standards like GSM. In a world that's growing increasingly hostile to Americans and American ideals like truth, justice and Capitalism, putting American phones on the GSM band is lot like slitting our throats.
So, let's leave GSM phones for our Europeans pals across the pond who live in those little dinky countries that you can cross in an hour in a Citrouen, it works for them hurrah. But just like the bidet and full frontal pornography on broadcast TV, what works in Europe doesn't necessarily work here.
For despite all our high-tech echelon internet sniffers and high-res Keyhole satellites, we were blindsided by the low-tech Kamikaze attacks of Al Qaeda. A few people in the bazaars and suques of Afghanistan and Arabia would have been worth more than a fleet of recon satellites.
But, geeks can still prosper in this age. the CIA has a huge problem finding people willing to infiltrate Islamic terrorist organizations, what Ivy League Foggy bottomer wants to leave his blonde sorority girl wife for years of living in a dirty, cold cave, eating putrid lamb, wiping his ass his with right hand and forgoing sex, I know I wouldn't.
Fortunately, this website has a huge amount of geeky sorts who eat poorly, live in a dank, computer infested hovels and haven't gotten near pussy since they were expelled from one 20 years ago. Coupled with a decent facility for languages (just substitute Parsi or Arabic of PERL) and you can too can help the world's best country by being an incountry spy in a third world country like Pakistan, Egypt or France, please contact your local CIA recruiter.
We've seen how Internet cafe's facilitated the 9-11 bombers, Richard Reid the shoe bomber, and Al-Queda communication. Soon enough, most smarter e-criminals will realize how easily they can be tracked by using the internet @ home, and they'll move to an internet cafe for criminal business.
Clearly, we need greater accountability and responsibility on the internet. Enough planes have been hijacked, buildings blown up, children threatened and women raped to show that unlicensed, unmonitored, anonymous internet usage (made even easier with Internet Cafes) to show that's it's like carrying around an unregistered handgun, just too dangerous to allow anymore.
Good riddance I say. If you can't afford a PC and phone line for browsing ( a perfectly adeqate Pentium will do, and you can buy one for under $100), go to a public library for surfing under the watchful eyes of concerned librarians.
Methanol sounds dangerous to me. I foresee a cell phone, PDA or notebook dropping and cracking the fuel cell, allowing trace amounts of methanol out, to evaporate. In case you don't know what inhaled methanol will do to you, expect liver failure, blindness and brain damage.
I for one prefer a nice safe, Ni-Cad or Lithium-Hydride battery, but then I'm pretty health conscious.
hmm, getting a credit card billed monthly sure sounds like most porn sites I've been a member at, err, it sounds like most porn sites I've read about on/.
Instead, they're real big islands off the coast of North America, check out a map. In fact, in Newfoundland, you are closer to Ireland than you are to Chicago.
While ham and shortwave radios have fulfilled a necessary nitch for years, decades even, it's time to reallocate those wasted bandwidths for more prosaic uses. With the widepsread use of portable satellite phones and uplinks, even the dubious claim of disaster aid practiced in tedious field days seems redundant. Would you prefer to call for help over a high quality digital uplink through a million dollar sattelite connection, or the hope that your 50 watt call through the ether gets picked up by some obsessive compulsive who's more interested in your equipment and your location (for another pushpin in their world map/log book) than your emergency need.
I think I speak for most geeks here when I'd rather have wireless broadband anywhere I travel for my laptop, rather than a huge amount of radiowave real estate being squatted one by ham-nerds who are being rendered superflous by modern digital technology. Our interstates are no longer designed for Model T's, why should our airwaves?
Since Mordor would be dark and covered in ashen clouds, they wanted someone small who didn't become discombobulated in the dark. An Elf would have withered in Mordor, and men were generally useless.
