You might be able to see through the walls or mountains, but this could give you more of a disadvantage than an advantage if the walls are totally transparent.
After all, you won't know if they're behind a wall or not.
As someone pointed out earlier, the IMG tag wasn't even in the original spec for HTML. Look at how far we've come: JavaScript, DHTML, ActiveX, Java, Flash... I remember seeing one of the first (real) webcams come online in 1992/3 (it was of Niagra Falls). It was very impressive back then; new pictures every minute.;) Now there are hundreds of streams available at any hour of the day (Rob, not that kind of stream...:))
A T1 was fast.
Linux wasn't even built.
"NetMeeting" type stuff was new. Remember cuseeme? The original? Before they started charging?
Online gaming was mostly terminal-based, almost no graphical games.
Music on the PC? Cee Dee quality? No. Besides, it would have eaten up all of those 40-120MB drives.;)
The Internet has scaled from an internal, United States based government network to a worldwide, always-on, public network... In a matter of a few decades.
These are what scientists think are responsible for mad cow disease, as well as the Kuru disease from Africa.

I didn't even have to read past the Yahoo article to realize what it was. The dynamic link library mentioned plus FrontPage 98 clicked in even my head.
Since the editors of Slashdot love bashing MS, can't they at least learn of NT's vulnerabilities before posting them? Anyone who knew something about NT would have spotted that was old before reposting it.
No offense to Slashdot and I'm not a troll. I just can't believe this.
Of course, HP's printers are still shipping with Windows-only drivers... and Windows-only configuration tools... and described as "Linux-compatible" in their advertisements.
Micheal, no offense, but please, stop nitpicking. This is an utterly huge company supporting the open source movement.
Give them a chance. Don't nitpick. We don't want to lose their support, do we? They could very easily go back to supporting Windows and/or HPUX only. After all, they have the resources...
You have to salute a company that would try to help out the open source movement -- or to display a picture of CATS of AYBABTU fame on their specials site.:)
Don't tell me Mozilla is getting more stable! I'll miss my killall -HUP netscape private key pass! Err... I didn't say that out loud, did I?
On a (little) more serious note, I am glad to see that Mozilla is supposed to be getting faster. No offense, but it was really slow last time I used it under Linux. I've been using Konqueror lately...
Can't you see a "Joe User 3000 Linux edition" PC with America Online as the primary way to access the AOL-censored Internet? And there will be nothing to stop them from doing this as long as they release the "AOL Linux Distribution" source. And who's going to download that? Think about it: No Microsoft, open source so that they can put AOL everywhere in the OS...
Some people who know nothing about computers have heard about Linux, and if they haven't, you had better bet the marketing spinners at AOL can sell it to them.
After all, if it's made or sponsored by AOL, it has to be the best. Or so some people believe. Almost everyone has heard of AOL. And many people believe that it really is "number one."
I would think that the AOLtv and the newer AOL appliances are already powered by Linux.
AOL isn't that much different than Microsoft. Extend, embrace...
This system will make or break Nintendo (at least the Nintendo we all know now...)
Sure, they could fall back on the GameBoy, but they can't keep doing that forever. The GameCube is such a huge investment on Nintendo's part. Five years of research for a product that would never hit shelves? The investment is too big. Nintendo will have to produce the console either way.
What we're seeing is mega-companies entering the console arena. Sony and Microsoft, of course, are the two bigger ones. They both have more marketing power, more money, and they can afford to take a risk. The PSX isn't going to break Sony, and well, we know the X-Box, if it flops (which it won't, courtesy of the Microsoft hype), won't break the Borg-type company that is Microsoft. The bigger companies can fall back on the other things that they produce.
Nintendo and Sega, as well as the smaller console-only (and in-house game development) companies don't have that much to fall back on. Their work is only games.
We're seeing the end of the companies that truly pioneered console gaming.
Ricochet is offering 128kbps Internet access via a PCMCIA card in a laptop or a PCI card in a tower/desktop for about $70.
They don't offer it in many cities though, so you may want to check their wireless map.
Wireless access is probably the way of the future. Always on, non-physical connections... Imagine the possibilities with 2.4mbps. Webcam in a car, anyone?
"This gives new meaning to someone set us up the bomb!"
"FIRST ASTEROID POST!!!"
"Someone'd better call Bruce Willis..."
Okay, now on to a (well, hopefully) meaningful post. I wonder what would happen if they missed. Or if the asteroid was a little too big and actually affected the environment. Wait, that isn't the top priority on this would-be agenda, is it?

You can find all of the shows going off the air, as well as returning shows here.
... and you've scaled beautifully.

Blah, you're right.
My mistake, thanks...
Most of our enemies would see it most efficient to use prions.

Who didn't see this coming?
AOL porting their software to Linux.
Sony porting Linux to the PS2.
Can we say Linux powered game console that runs an AOL client powered by Mozilla natively? I can.
And since Linux is open source, AOL will have no problem changing it over to look "so easy to use..."
Blah!

Mirror here.
No idea why they're including something as outdated as FAT...
... There are only no exploits in the default install. There have been a number of OpenBSD exploits.
AOL really is genius.
They have ported AOL to Linux. Why?

That would be ~$717,783 or so US. ;)
The BBC article claims it will cost half a million pounds...
That's a lot of money for an experimental car that only gets 62 miles on a tank of "gas."
Speaking of gas, I'm waiting for the obvious slashdot jokes...
... Every new .0 release is generally pretty buggy. It's almost smarter to wait until .1 and .2 releases to upgrade.
Look at RedHat 7.0, for example. Don't bash MS because they have bugs -- to do that would be hypocritical.

How convenient is this for any country? What exactly are the chances that an asteroid would be in the right place at the right time during a war?
By right place and right time, most of these asteroids are a few years off, and there's very little chance they'd be in the right place during a war.
