You'll never see a lawsuit against crappy parents. Why? Because crappy parents have less deep pockets than the game and media companies. I still think parents don't beat their children enough these days. To quote Dennis Leary: "My parents used to beat the living s*it out of me and i'm looking forward to beating the s*it out of my kids, aren't you?"

I'm connected with a Cablevision cable modem and when it's up it's really fast. A while ago the Cablevision's cable modem service went down in the whole state of NJ for 10 hours, why? Because someone shot a bullet through a critical piece of fiber, and that was the only one.
Also every night between 11:45p m and 12:00 am I can't put any traffic across my modem for about 2 min. What's up with that? Routers rebuilding tables? Anybody know?

OK, so miracle cures most likely won't come from the human genetic sequence, but it will form a foundation for these cures in the future. Remember the guy that proposed we do all mathematic computation in base 2? I forget his name, but i'm sure some people at the time thought he was crazy....then later....binary computing! Knowledge or research is never bad in itself, it's the spin to attract investors that is really stupid.

Last I heard, Microsoft was going to require that built in MP3 codecs have an upper limit of 56kbps. Externally installed codecs do not have any Microsoft imposed limits. Just download the hacked Fraunhoffer codec and viola! 192kbps! Seems to work on my XP beta....

And all you SETI guys think that you're searching for Alien life??? Actually the CIA is cracking codes using distributed computing under the guise of SETI.
Really!

Exactly how many copies of windows 2000 or NT will my company have to get rid of to pay for my 50k/year salary? Either way they will still have to pay someone to fix/maintain/administer the systems that break....and they all break....eventually.
The last article I read about cloning went something like this:
1. Egg stripped of its genetic material.
2. "Parent" cell w/genetic material from parent inserted into "empty" Egg.
3. The whole mess is shocked with an electric current to get the cell reprogramming started.
Scientists aren't really sure why the reprogramming happens. Doesn't this seem really crude?
I don't have a clue how DNA works or how to chart Planetary motion. But given the mathematical models; I can probably code it and tell you whether or not it is an intractable problem.
All CS? Not quite.
I ordered DSL from Flashcom and these bozos the minute they said it was availible in my area. Five months later, I still had no service. These guys have only themselves to blame for this. Now i'm happy with my Cablevision cable modem!

Well i'd love to deploy this at Newgrange but here is my delema: Students and teachers only use the machines they are comfortable with. Students and teachers mostly use Windows machines at their homes and they want the same environment at school. I can't see going through the time and effort for this and then having no one use it (besides me).
Any ideas on how to break the "Chicken and Egg" cycle?

I bet the next version of "windowsupdate" becomes a subscription service now. Imagine that; sell crap software and then charge for the fixes.
Kinda like symantec does with their "upgrade insurance". (Best godfather voice)"Pay us and we'll protect your mission critical systems".
I hate all these companies.

They say you can get up to 1mbps bandwidth if you want it. Although that probably won't be enough.
Anybody know how much bandwidth napster's servers use?

Do you turn it (win98 box) off every night? I run my win98 boxes continuously for about a week before they croak. My linux machine seems to run for months (and then I run some bad C) before it needs a reboot.
"Uh, I don't understand. I was running emacs on my windows machine and I got a blue screen saying something about a fatal exception. I thought these linux/unix things never crash, even on windows." This project is like building Fort Knox on a foundation of jello.
Computer Engineering: Take electrical engineering, remove the analog stuff (i.e. power supplies, generation, transmission and some RF) and add discrete math, some programming languages and algorithms classes, shake well.
Computer Science: Take lots of discrete math, data-structures, compiler theory, actual programming languages (duh), operating systems and add some logic and design, but not usually implemented in hardware, shake well.
At least this is the way it is a my school.

As a sysadmin for a small school I use Linux for web, ftp and some samba servers. They are wonderfully stable, with lots of uptime. I also use Win NT/Exchange server for our messaging and mail. I haven't seen a messaging product that integrates this well on the desktop (Outlook 2000 and Exchange Server). Both platforms have their strengths and weaknesses. I guess i'll be ready to ditch MS servers when the Linux community creates a scheduling/messaging system as robust as Exchange Server. Until then i've gotta have both.

I don't know about you guys but I just use a photocopier. It makes great copies of my CDs.
Yeah! When I was 8 I loved my CoCo 2. I learned BASIC on it. I don't know about a $300.00 5.25" floppy drive though. -ted
I guess you'll be flipping burgers if you don't keep learning new things. Actually, this is true in any field, so don't study anything.
