I don't know why i would need to multi-task on a VIC 20 but i'm going to pull her out and see if can get her going. I have a slew of tapes/tape drive or the old beauty. If i can get my EE and CE roomates and buddies to rig up an interface to ethernet then we have a low power webserver pretty soon. It's not hi traffic, but it's not like I get hits like Slashdot.
Writing support for a HD or faster storage then tape would be the best, but no time right now. Getting a basic webserver over a serial modem should be fairly trivial. Porting a Java shouldn't be and i've always wanted to get JAVA to run on C64, VIC 20, or TRS....Not the embeded version.
It's no the complexity or simplicity of the track, that is unimportant. The point is the challenge and the danger involved in NASCAR. Another reasons fans like NASCAR is because everyone drives and everyone can try to make their car faster. The final reason is that the drivers are friendly unlike other sports and aren't paid many millions of dollars for the most part.
It's not very difficult to defeat Macrovison from what i recall a couple resitors will do it. Or a 20 dollar box puchased online or at RadioShac

Well that great Saunas are coll and all, but it would be much more impressive if it was tricked out with some ground effects, a large spoiler, and of course wifi. Not to mention if it had an engine in it so you coul saun in fornt of the Arc De Triumph, the Whitehouse, Stone Henge

I don't think the difficulty is in analyzing DNA or any of that. They need to travel to remote locations to find the samples. They also need to rexamine locations and scour them for things they missed. Orchids, Insects, Grases are found all the time.
Previouly thought to be uninhabitble areas are found to hold life every 5 years or so and thought to be extinct animals are found alive about ever3 years, palnts and animals. Include Mutation to generate new species.
Now Add bacterial species and Virus(Not technically alive, I disagree)
Good Luck...Realse the Info for medicianl use and make the owner the UN as well as every nation on earth.
Many Linux users have been waiting for Linux to break out and start converting more users. Walmart certainly helped supporting Lindows, which i hope succedes as a desktop replacement. I think It's demize is the generally high price of the Subscription. In other light I know of schools and many other instutions switching to MS bassed mail systems due to ease of maintence and webacces they offer (Yes Many Linux solutions exist I like them myself). But a switch to MS Products is very bad for Linux on the server side...espically considering security issues as Windows is insecure.
I agree ith the PDA article. I found the Sharp to be just as usefull as the Palm software and almost as easy as WinCE. I think the Small evices market could easioly be dominated by Linux because software for those devices needs to be customized by a manufacturer and the cost quickly becomes cheaper for manufacturers due to little to no cost for the Linux and abou tthe same cost to customize it as any other OS (ie Drivers for the hardware and customicing software).
It's nice to see this, but i wish some nation respecting privacy would have launched this. It's good that the US or Canada did not launch this as it would have less privacy still. But imagine just about anyone putting together a receiver to eavesdrop on you easily and cheaply. The government restricts encryption levels on wireless and can decrypt anyting in a matter of days due to computing power they have and a corrdibnated virus could easily get if engineered properly.
So like this is the best of the previous dual screen latops mentioned here and a tablet. Imagine having a slide of what you are discussing on one side notes on the other...genuine notebook style. Would help me alot in school and work. Also much better nt lugging many notebooks in snow.
Apple does it's best to get users to switch. Since Many Linux users also have a commercial OS: So Ogg supoort will certainly convince Linux users to get OS X instead of Windows as their commercial system.
The RIAA is not anyone's friend. I can see them being anti-piracy, but they go overboard. Why not break into other computers to fight piracy. Why not congest internet with broken songs so peopel try over and over to t a working song. The RIAA is dumb in its tactics nd those tactics will not work.
Well from what i understand Comcast does try to inforce the provison on open access points and multiple computers w/o paying.
My friends on Time Warnmer on the other hand told me that TW installers tell 'em taht a router is the way to go. TimeWarner also doesn't block port 80 or scan it like comcast seems to be doing to me, same subnet as Comcast Name server is how i determined it was them and not some jerk trying to break in(i know you are thinking that). People on VerizonDSL also tell me that Verizon installers also don't care and even recommed using the routers due to the natural firewall.
I hyope ISPs realize charging by the computers is stupid. I mean like when i get an OC3, what a dream come true, they wouldn't charge me for every computer on that.
Also Comcast is dumb, horrible customer service & poor product service and pricing, if DSL becomes available for me as Verizon tells me it will. I'm ditchin comcast for satelite and VerizonDSL.
Have a good New Year All. Comcast you may want to let your customer service reps know taht you are performing upgrades instead of having the guy trounleshoot with me on the phone...exchange modems...send some guy out after sending one to my neigh boor...to tell me they are upgrading and repairing some damage due to heavy rains.
So the Stassi, East German Secret Police, kept track of odors of people for their surveillance state. They also had national ID's, being held without due process, and the right to videotape or search you whenever if they suspected you for committing a crime against the state.
To me the police cameras in the UK are a bit much. I see similarities with the current laws that are anti-terrorism, with laws in East Germany to protect the socialist/communist party. I also see the future of the US laws being totally unsuccessful, just as the East German laws failed in keeping the communists in power. Like those medicines that target symptoms, they do little to treat the root cause of the disease and more to make the people feel better.

I often find myself in Discussions wondering why Linux hasn't taken off due its good qualities. I often get referred to complexity of use, difficulty of installation, and Microsoft using its powers of Gigantism. These are all somewhat true. But, I always have felt that part of it was poor management in the major distribution companies. I am glad to see Linux cleaning up their offices and will be happy to see a switch occur. I am also glad to see Mandrake doing well as it is very easy to use and install making it a better choice for average users.
The other thing I would like to see happen with all the Linux companies is to organize a general lobbying group to challenge MS's marketing force. To challenge the public and government perceptions of the system. Alliances with PC Manufactures would come with demand. The final thing needed is solid development efforts by manufacturers to support hardware in Linux. I feel lack of driver support killed Be which had a really solid OS. BSD was hardly moving on the workstation market until OS X hit and many Apple folks switched voluntarily, and the others are being forced to now even though they don't like the change.
Regardless Best of Luck to Mandrake and the Linux market in General.
I've seen Rational Software (Rational Rose Mainly) has improved in Stability since 1998 on the windows platform, but on Solaris it is better but still buggy. Hopefully IBM will improve the performance in Solaris. I hear it is ok in Linux, but room for improvement exists so we will se an improvement there, I've never personally used any Rational Software in Linux so I'm assuming what I've been told is true. I do hope IBM ports the software to other platforms well. I would sure love being able to make up some UML Diagrams on any system I desire with the same program. Together Soft is what I use often because it works so well on many platforms without fuss, but I prefer Rose as its UML is more standard and it just seems to crash less.
IBM could also do what our "friends" at Microsoft did to Visio and ruin a good piece of software with patented Microsoft bloat.
You should get a Lawyer blah blah blah like everyone else says. BUT:
I'm for code reuse and what not, and the competiton with you clause seems fine as well. BUT, I wouldn't hire you at those terms unless you were much cheaper then the competion. I mean much closer to the cost level of off the shelf software packages...as you are giving them the source and an what is an off the shelf license. Many companys are fine with this, but many companies will not do this anymore. They want all the rights to the code as if you were they're employee, from my experince, except allmost all will give you the competion against you is against the rules and give you the right to use the code again.
Lastly and possibly most importantly you may want to include that charges for maintaining code not changed by you be diffrenty, ie cost significantly more, if it is commented poorly.
I would personally not work with you under your agreement and i do businees as an outide systems developer and get code devloped by outsuide developers.
Get a Lawyer talk to their Lawyers llike everyoneelse says. Beware of bad programers.
This is a small victory for Consumers. All it does is specificaly outline a few rules taht MS can't do becuase of existing laws. It opens up API's but usingthem helps to bolster MS hold on computers. The other thing i see happening is MS figuring out something else to use to control the Computer Industry to there benefit. Luckily they don't have as much control as apple does over the MAC. I do use XP and think taht simply hiding the Outlook Reliance on MSN Messenger and other dependencies is not enough. MS needs to be forced to remove these depedencies.

The best architecture is still VAX. Clearly string operations at the processor levels is what any procesor needs to be the best and fastest ;}

I was saying goodbye to softyware raid that i need to utilize on Mac sysytems currently being used in video production.
Finally reduce the cost of software raid on MAC Platforms.
Perhaps they want to use the DirectTV spectrum for things other then just TV service?
