Yeah, and then you can put a bluetooth inside eveypiece so they can create a WAP network and communicate with eachother on ambushing the other team, and then we can put a bluetooth jammer on the queen's head so it'll mess up the communication between the other team and then we can give the little chess pieces guns, and then we can make the chess board have elevations and then we can put obstacles in the middle of the board so the pieces can hide, and then we can give the pieces little optical sensors so they can detect team members (wont be very hard, white or black) and obstacles and make a 3d model of the chess board using stereo vision, and then we can make the chess pieces walk...
Or we can just play chess using plastic pieces on a metallic board and use our time making more useful things. But that wouldn't be cool would it?
Why the hell would anyone use such a display? I can't couldn't care less if this period (.) contained 80 pixels instead of 4 on my 1600x1200 trinitron. The fact is, i wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I think the effort should be more focused on 3d displays than lotsa-pixel-displays. It would prolly cost less too.
Is it just me or does sticking a needle in the cable to get 700 free porn channels seem easier than going 800m underwater and carefully placing some sort of an amplifier/reciever in a 1m thick cable?
PGP your email to mom asking for some new underwear. The thing is, if everything is encrypted, they wont be able to tell what is actually supposed to be encrypted... they would have to decrypt EVERYTHING, this'll make sure of two things:
1. Research on supercomputing in universities will get grants from the government.
2. When you actually need to use encryption on something, they wont bother decrypting it.
> We call Windows bloated at 400MB, but when someone points out that distro X takes 7 CD's, we defend that distro
A 400mb windows install comes with nothing. Hell, my 2.2 potato install (300 megs) has KDE1, C/C++/Fortran/Java/Pascal compiler, a browser, X, shell, A photoshop equivalent, a print quality typesetting engine, NEDIT, and FTP server, an HTTP server and a telnet server.
The same thing on a Windows box would take 2-3 gigabytes.
I hope you know that GNOME is a desktop environment and not a WM and in fact, I run KWIN (KDE2's WM) as my default gnome WM on the rare occasion on which i do start up gnome.
I Hate blocking software used at my highschool not because it blocks porn sites, but because:
a) It does a crappy job at blocking porn sites.
b) It wont let me see pages in the google cache.
Now, I almost ALWAYS use the google cache when i'm looking for information because it nicely highlights what I'm looking for and shows it to me, and this blocking software gets REALLY annoying after a while. It even shamelessly puts its own banner where normal banners for on websites would be, cutting off their only source of revenue. Down with blocking software!
My 9 year old brother was filling out a form for a membership at geocities the other day and he entered 9 for his age. When he hit submit, he got the following error:

First of all, Qt is infinitly themable so I dont see why you are talking about Windows. Regarding your comment on GTK being more American,GTK does of have a "Wholesome American" feel to it, much like the Dodge Neon and Windows 95. Qt on the other hand is very highquality much like the BMW and Linux. If you are so shallow that you believe that a GUI must have a weakness to be soulful, you have some serious problems. I just dont see why your comment got a 4.
Konqueror embedded should work fine.
Hell, I'm posting this in konq embed as we speak (thanks tronical). Thats right, this 133 is running konqueror embedded. It also wont be long before AvantGo releases one, they already released one for WinCE
-Since BSD is more of a server operating system How is FreeBSD MORE of a server operating system than say... debian or slackware? Just because its faster and cleaner (than RH) doesn't mean it can't be used on the desktop.. almost exact same install procedure and a normal user wouldn't tell the difference between it and mandrake when the default install puts KDE on.
-is there many people the would even need this. I'm guessing not, most FreeBSD desktop users are happy with windowmaker or KDE.
-It seems viable for Linux to get a piece of the desktop market but BSD??? I don't think so. Again, your logic vexes me. At a local University they recently put up a LAN of 40 pII300s, all running freeBSD, to be used as desktop boxes for netsurfing, LaTeXing, software development and email etc. (they are connected to a NATing Ultra-10 with 1GB of ram which also acts as the file and mail server)
FreeBSD is a VERY viable choice and the sysadmins here love it because of its ports tree and neat/etc/ structure.
You should seriously give FreeBSD a try.
Oh, and the ISO's are free too.
Maybe it was my racist imagination when a US vessel shot down an Iranian passenger jet over Iranian waters, killing over 300 innocent people.
Or when the US sold Chemical and Biological weapons to Iraq so they can bomb Iranian troops. I hope you know everyday iranian doctors who treated the injured soldiers die of different cancers, and children are born deformed because of the American/German chemical weapons used.
Or in the 1950s when it was Iran's almost only chance at becoming a democratic nation, the CIA paid criminals to start riots so they can send tanks in and call a coup d'etat.
Or when MOSAD sent troops into south africa to teach the "law enforcement" there how to kill the blacks. I guess they had the experience.
You Isrealis think you're so oppressed when its the Arabs that are really dying. Who do you think Osama Bin Laden is good for, the Arabs? wrong. Ask anyone older than 15 and they'll say the guys a CIA funded lunatic. The US is having a hard time going out of the cold war, I guess they always to demonize someone.
Oh and one more point, Iran is an extremely tolerant country. Islam is an extremely tolerant faith. Read your history and you'll see who gave the fleeing jews sanctuary only a couple hundred years ago.
I dont want to get into a racial conflict/war with you but there are MANY computer users in Iran.
Also there is no proof that Iran is in anyway involved in any bombings at Isreal eventhough we despise your racist and illegal country. Isreal would be gone right now if the Isrealis didn't eat out of the US's ass so much.
I also have no idea about which US embassy your are talking about. I guess you've been brainwashed by the media too much. Keep in mind that the worst bombing in US history was done by an American soldier (Oklahama).
Anyways think before you spit out anymore racial slurs.
(BTW, i didn't post those anti-semetic comments)
In Iran for example, people have no choice but to use warez
versions of Windows if they wish to use windows. This system would lock out whole COUNTRIES of computer users from using Windows. This is a Very Very Good Thing (tm).

Does that mean that someone has been actually sent to space using this vehicle?
The fact that its rated insightful makes it even funnier.

This J. Haage guy gave 4 N/As, 1 "I can't answer this",1 "please ask amiga why" and 2 normal non-politician answers.
Worth publishing? No. Worth slashdotting? Definitly not.

If Qt3 ships with richtext, a whole slew of stable, fast and good wordprocessor will become available for UNIX. NICE.

Sorry about that, your one of the first BSD GNOME users I've met. Well, I stand corrected.
