Me and a frend have been hitting CNN.com all night, and the deltas in florida got all the way to 224 at one point. We were hoping it would come down to less then ten or even tie that would have been pretty sweet:P
as for the popular, Gore's been going up for a while, so it looks like the EC/Popular is going to reach diffrent results. witch is still cool:)
Who cares? Its just a slashdot post. Despite what many people think, spelling is not the easiest thing in the world. Some people can be very intelegent and still make errors. I don't see why everyone needs to get their panties in a bunch. spellcheckers can spellcheck when something needs to be professional. Whats the point of going though all that work for a slashdot post?
Actualy, a TV changes the image every time the beam passes over the screen, so motion can actualy be displayed 60 times a second. Only half of the scanlines are refreshed though. But you can still get fluid motion that way.
Is the ICANN better then NSI? Worse? I suppose that some might consider them worse since they put on an air about being 'for the people' or whatever you have, but in reality they are a little better.
Anyway, who cares? NSI was bad and so are these people. Nither one had to much power (although NSI seems to really be trying to grab some nowadays), and they arn't really doing that much harm.
I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but it's possible you might not know. Pointer Arithmetic is a holdover from the Pure-C days, and dosn't really do much other then make your programs a lot more buggy:P. basicaly what it does is let you change the value of a pointer. take this example
It's not really that surprizing that someone would a prospective employee to know it, but I don't see why, it might have been all cool about 5-10 years ago, back when people still used typedefs in their code. It dosn't let you do anything you couldn't do with array indecies, really.
Old style, new style, what's better? who knows. I'm really, really rambling here, geez. um, anyway I hope this explains what pointer math is...
How is the X-Box more evil then the PS-2? The Ps2 is completly closed, you need to pay tons of money for a dev kit, then you need to pay tons more to ship games (witch can then be censored by sony)
With the X-Box on the other hand, you only need VC++. You might even be able to develop with CygWin, I don't know, and you don't have to pay fees to ship your game either. I'm not really sure how M$ expects to make money, though.
There are a lot of companies that are a lot worse then Microsoft, they just arn't in the position that Microsoft has. Sony is actualy pretty bad.
Well, what diffrence does it make? The statement he made was completly correct wether he said it or I said it or bill gates said it. Once the data for, say, your thumb print gets stolen, your thumb can no longer safely be used as a biometric on any kind of network (unless you are relying hardware security through obscurity). and if her actual thumb got taken, well then what is she supposed to do.
and finaly, I'm pretty sure Scheier makes money at crypto stuff, making him a professional, not an amateur.
Uh, read the DMCA again, it says that ISP's are *not* responsible, although they do need to remove content that might be infringing if notified of the infringement, while the owner of the content is notified. without the DMCA, and with this decision, means that ISP *could* be sued for infringing content. the DMCA isn't all *that* bad, as far as ISPs go. This decision would actually make things worse for ISPs, since they are not common carriers, they have no common carrier immunity. They do however have DMCA granted immunity.
And look at the last FCC ruling, now TVs/VCRs without copy protection. If we granted the FCC power over the 'net, they could unilaterally ban napster/gnutella/whatever else without any kind of legislative action.
Democrats are trying to 'poison pill' the bill by giving limited rights to Hispanics who have been in the country for decades.
I hope to god that the poster just misquoted that. Why the fuck should our government be granting rights to individuals of a particular race? I don't see why someone from Mexico should get privaliges that someone from, say, China wouldn't get.
The internet isn't, and never was intended to be the 'information superhighway' that Gore and others talked about. the IS was supposed to be a way that you could get movies and shit from AT&T. It was always about central, corporate, controlled BS. The same crap as on telivison, but more of it. "Ohh... you could rewind pay-per-view movies, you can't do that with regular cable..."
The internet has been around since the 1960s, and it has always been peer-to-peer. and its been around a lot longer then Gore's tenure in congress. The 'net is decentralized access for everyone, not just the giant media corporations.
That dosn't mean gore didn't try hard to mold the 'net into the IS after everyone got hooked up. Gore pushed hard for the CDA and encryption restriction. Aperantly he didn't really understand what the net was or how it worked. As for wireing up the fediral government? well, thats good I suppose, but accessing government documents isn't really something that lots of people do.
His exact quote was "During my tenure in congress, I took the initiative in creating the internet"
And on the other side, we have 'the dubya', gees, whats the point of getting out of bed this november....

I've bought tons of movies: its so unfair that I can't play them on the plane without rebooting. Having to keep a whole operating system around just to watch movies is pretty harsh.
Um, you can use deCSS right now, can't you? I was under the impression that unencrypted DVDs could be played in linux...
Hrm, I don't take back anything I said. You said he had gotten arrested beacuse he was the plaintiff in a lawsuit. That statement is clearly bassless. If you did know the diffrence, you were ignoring it.
This could make me go out and vote against gore, instaid of Fore nader, But I'm guessing that lil' Bush belives in the same thing, so it probably wouldn't do any good.
Slashdot Mirror
Does any of the money generated by the browser get back to Mozilla
Well, AOL does fund mozilla, provide them with servers, tech support, etc. Oh, and they also pay most of the people working on the project...

video card and processor run at a constant speed during quake games. They usualy run at a constant speed during normal opperation as well..

sheesh, and you call yourself a geek
Was the one who changed the meaning, I think the subject of this slashdot sid was a pretty huge distortion as to what KM actualy said.

The first $ amount is canada money, the second 'normal' money. The price listed is US$2500 for the mac
They already payed $40 million for the rights to the show, so, probably....

You can't really 'win' a settlement, you just get it. It means the other person gives up. This dosn't have any barring on future cases like this.

Has bush made any statements about this stuff?
