I was thinking the same thing. Except Usenet was a lot more useful, email was a lot more useful, the web had some great sites on them. I loved exploring the web for new interesting sites. The problem now is that Google is too good. You want to learn something you just Google it or use Wikipedia. The signal to noise ratio was much better back then. It was even better in 94 even if you had to use Trumpet WinSock on Windows 3.1
I knew someone that flew B-47s and he told me that they figured that the B-36 actually had a good chance to get through. He told me that they would be at 40+ thousand feet and would see 36s well over 10 thousand feet higher. Even the best of jet interceptors at the time would have problems reaching them. He also said that B-29 was like flying a school bus but that the B-36 was like flying the school. Would I like to see six turning and four burning? You bet your sweet bippie I would. It was just really cool to get to see one in person.
The secrets tend to be more experience than some super high technology. Only four countries really have any experience with carriers in combat. That is the US, UK, Japan, and I believe Australia and maybe Canada. Of those the Japanese carriers really didn't do well at taking damage. While WWII ships don't have any real secrets left all current carriers are still based of the Forestal design. So it is unlikely that you will see any of that class go any where but the scrape yard or the bottom.
Now it is a D model which where re classified as conventional bombers during Viet Nam. Also the first SALT treaty was in the early 70s. By that time the B-36 where long gone from the Air Force inventory. Russia probably worried about them about as much as they worried about the one B-29 that was still flying. The Air Force really doesn't want anyone to fly a B36. The fall out from a crash would be... Terrible.
Well that really depends on the ship. Even some pretty old ships have secrets even to this day. Others like the New Jersey class still might have military value. I would love to see more ships make it to museums. Way to many are just sunk. The original Enterprise and the Saratoga CV3 both should have been preserved. I would have loved to walk on their decks. Even now the US has sunk most of the Spruance class and gave the rest to allies. Ships are big and expensive to keep around the Navy doesn't want to pay to keep them around and it is hard to find enough public interest to fund them. Airplanes and even tanks are much cheaper to stick in a building and put velvet ropes around than a ship.
It has a USB port. You can find little USB interface devices that will control remote devices like switching a power outlet. There is a ton of stuff you can do with this device with a little effort. Wifi could be added to with a USB dongle. Heck you could even make a network to Bluetooth bridge. Wifi and POE would be nice options. But you know what? Get the data sheet and learn to solder. You could build one and try and market it. Some models even support SATAII. They actually look like very nice little devies The SOC has not only USB but also SDIO and GPIO as well. You would only be limited by your knowledge and skills.
What part of I have not heard of this did you not understand. I never said that it didn't happen. The simple rule is that it is war grave you don't mess with it. Did they tell the family that they couldn't try and recover the body or that they couldn't recover the TBM? Also the TBM has a crew of three. Did they get permission from all the families? Could it just be possible that they are trying to keep somebody's fourth cousin twice removed from making a fast buck by grave robbing? You make these claims and then tell me to go look them up. Why not post the links yourself?
I have never heard of most of these stories. The Navy did allow the recovery of at least one F4F in the Great Lakes. They do protect war graves but that should be understandable. As far as dealing with museums and ships well think about it. Ships tend to be large complex steel machines that sit in saltwater. Just not a good mix. They often full of nasty chemicals and fuel. And some of them are very very large. The Navy give these multimillion dollar machines away making them safe and clean is up to the people that get them. Setting up a floating museum is very expensive.
But you are also restricted on say the XBox and Zune. Nobody has ported any browser to the 360. You can not put music on your Zune from a Linux machine or I believe a Mac.
Not really. Yahoo is having trouble. Google undercut their price and is using one source of income to allow them to undercut the competition. That is in many ways exactly what the anti-trust laws try to prevent. Is Google an evil monopoly? I really don't think so but your example really isn't a good one.
Except They owners of the iPhone already own the software. They have the write to use it. Now I could see AT&T not letting them on their network for "security" reasons. But as far as protecting their IP? If I owned an IPhone I have already have the rights to use that IP. I am not taking any money out of Apples pocket except by not buying the software that they want to sell me and instead using free software.
Umm you do know that they have removed the mercury compound from the vaccines and the autism rate didn't change. We have found NO evidence of a link. To ignore that face is as you put it silly. I understand the guilt and desperation that having an autistic child causes. I have a member of my family with autism.
There is more than that. What would you buy at a Microsoft store? Maybe if they focused on the 360 and the Zune it would make a little sense. Has the Zune market place gone DRM free yet? Can you use the Zune on a Mac? Microsoft has such a strange mix of products it is hard to imagine a Microsoft Store. Maybe they will sell other HPs and Dells their was well so you have a one stop shop.
I think the key difference is Apple has always been at least a little cool. Even when they where hanging on for dear life a large number of people still had good feeling about them and wished they would do better. Microsoft just doesn't have that.
"This is why I hesitate to let "experts" force major social projects on us. " So instead of "experts" you want people with no real education in the subject, no real facts, and a lot of fear and guess work to decide? We know that vaccines don't cause autism. Just about every kid has been vaccinated and they don't all have it. Vaccines could contribute to it but so could a lot of things. I blame DVDs myself. The huge increase in autism started when DVDs started to replace video tapes. So we should also ban DVDs.
Well we will see if flash 10 ships. Flash 7 just isn't good enough anymore. Now if we can get Java 6 sdk as well for ARM I would be a happy customer. Now if we can get inexpensive ARM mother boards with on board GPUs and SATA drives then we can really start moving away from X86 for things like NAS and MediaPCs.
Frankly I would love an ARM based notebook except for just a few issues. 1. Flash. Like it or not Flash is everywhere and I have not seen a Linux ARM version. 2. Java. I need it and JavaFX could be a nice alternative to Silverlight/Moonlight.
I see Flash as the big issue for most people. I would love to see ARM back on the "desktop" even if it is on the laptop. A ARM with a good GPU really would be a nice netbook system.
No they are not. If they gave a link to the site that was giving away the tracks then it would be free advertising. My wife does digital scrapbooking. A lot of designers will give away kits of artwork on their sites. They ask that people link to their sites but not right to the kits. They want people to see the other stuff on the sites and maybe buy something. Same thing here. And it also doesn't matter if it is a mistake by the lawyers. They are within their rights even if it is counter productive. The key part of my post is simply posting other people's works without their permission is not an example of free speech! Free speech means you are allowed to express your ideas with out fear of going to jail. It doesn't give you the right to take away other peoples rights. In this case the right to have some control over their creation. Now if you want to talk about how evil DRM is or even how evil and corrupt the music and movie industry is I am all for it. But this has nothing to do with free speech.
"why do they need a SQL server and a directory service?" Well a SQL server can give you a standardized database system that scales. Databases are just too handy not to have. Of course for a desktop SQLite is a good choice. Directory service? well you got me on that one unless it is the LDAP client they are removing.
I must say that I find it odd. Someone posts a link to a pirated MP3 and that link gets taken down. People define that as censorship? Then they wrap it in the flag of free speech and fighting for freedom...
I would think that posting a recording of someone else as their speech is at best plagiarism. Hey I can see saying that piracy is at worst a civil issue and not criminal. Or that suing your customers is a bad plan. However taking down posts to copyrighted MP3s just doesn't infringe on people's liberties.
Really this is... Okay why can't we have an open standard to sync data with mobile devices? I mean just how hard would it be? I don't use outlook under windows and I do use Linux. I want some way to sync my phone to all my systems.

Well there is one at the Orlando Airport. I don't think it is still in military hands.
Here is a link http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Orlando+FL+airport+B-52&sll=28.418561,-81.31667&sspn=0.002095,0.004828&ie=UTF8&ll=28.449591,-81.312636&spn=0.000552,0.001207&t=h&z=20

Then we are doomed. No way to fix that without time travel... I will channel a spirit and see if they have any advice on how to fix this.

It isn't dramatic since your still stuck with 64bit pointers. You may gain a small performance increase on some specific programs.
