Ah, but that doesn't matter. If you're selling to the PHB, that'll be enough of a selling point.
And if not, they always have their marketing BS (Windows2000 is from Microsoft. A name you can trust, and all that jive.)
Refresh from where?
If 2 (or more) are corrupted (out of three), where do you get the correct data? (I realize a backup would do the trick, but would be slow - but forget that for a sec)
Maybe I just dont understand. If thats the case, could someone point me to somewhere I could look for more info?
Oh come on; don't tell me that you didn't realize that he meant taking the working hardware and building the OS and software to make them ready for use?
Probably. But you can't be sure, and that's my point. It's not likely that more than 2 would degrade, but you can't be sure. And that could be a problem.
And I guess Iridium wasn't ready for the world, either.
It was a great idea. I'd love to have a phone that worked anywhere... but not at such exorbitant prices. And not if I have to carry around a briefcase dedicated to that task, either.
The obsticles of technology and the cost of the infrastructure were just too much for such an ambitious plan.

But for the most part, Adobe sells software that not only can view, but can create content. Anything involved in the simple viewing of documents is available for free download (case in point: Adobe Acrobat)

Anything beyond viewing content. Using Windows as an example, IE views html, Wordpad views RTF, Outlook Express views email. Windows Media Player views pretty much all video and audio.
Of course add a text editor for upkeep of the system.
I believe that an operating system should provide facilites to view any kind of document (within reason).
But Gnutella is slow. (Great idea, and I personally prefer it, but slow)
And, compared to Napster, no one uses it.
And the technoligically impaired have trouble figuring it out (mostly, the whole idea of the servers, and why some of them refuse to connect...). Heck, I set a friend of mine up with Gnutella, and it took him a week to figure out how to use it. I told him where to d/l Napster, and after a couple of questions, he had no problems whatsoever.
No.
They are not claiming that they wrote it (it says right on the cover who wrote it!!). They are claiming that they will send you a copy of someone else's work, for a price (paper and printing costs + money for UMI + a little extra for themselves). That someone else is free to send you a copy of their work, if you ask them.
I want to know where your conclusion came from... it seems non sequitur to me.
Disclaimer: I don't believe that music should be free (what would street performers do?.... "Got any spare change?"... "No.. music should be free"..). It should be a heck of a lot cheaper (labels need to make money, but not as much as they do).
Oh... and getting MP3s off of Napster isn't stealing. Theft implies that the original owner no longer has the "item" in question. In copying music, the owner clearly does retain possesion.
Basically, we need to re-think our ideas of copyright and IP. Neither side is right at the moment (and I have no ideas on the subject right now... I'll get back to you later.:-)
Well, not so much anymore. The public at large is getting kinda bored with shuttle missions. Its a "been there, done that mentality". The only time anyone gets interested is when something new and out of the ordinary happens: John Glen becomes the oldest man to orbit the Earth, Mars Pathfinder (which was a huge success, PR-wise) broadcasts what were essentially live images from another planet, people walk on the moon (even this got boring to the world... by the time Apollo 13 launched, no one cared.... and this was the 3rd mission to the moon!).
Its unfortuneate that the public doesn't understand how unbelievably cool (not to mention complex and hard) every single venture we make into space is. But I guess thats the nerd in me talking:).
I really don't know, but I kinda doubt that all of these scientists are paid off by the artificial sweetener industry. To be convinced that there is a real problem and not some sort of overreaction, I'd need (at least) 2 papers from different scientists that are affiliated with reputable universities.
Dude, aspartame only causes cancer if you eat it constantly every day of your life. And even that has only happened in lab rats. Used in moderation, its fine. Just like Vitamin A.
Yes, but are these embedded devices as flexible as a 486 running a full-blown operating system?
Didnt think so

As I see it, there are more ground based telescopes, covering a greater (combined) area of the sky than the orbital telescopes, increasing the odds of capturing such an event.
I realize its open source now, but wouldn't the original development team? (AOL/Time Warner... hehe) Or the guys leading the development effort? Or the ISP hosting the project page?
Instead of suing the company, they could go after the actual people responsible.

What sort of energy do you think you might be able to harness for electricity? Fusion produces heat and light (case in point: The Sun).

You store it in triplicate, but how do you know which is the "right" one?
If it were secret, you wouldn't know about it, now would you?

Ummm.... wasn't "Star Wars" a Ballistic Missile Defense system?
Hehe. Sorry about the completely incoherent message. And sorry again, cause I'm too lazy to explain.... but ask me to, and I will.
Did a quick search on google for "aspartame".
From the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation (MSF): this article seems to dispute those claims though.
As does this article from the American Diabetes Association.
Even MIT really has nothing bad to say about it.

I'm willing to have my mind changed, though.
Besides, there's formaldehyde in toothpaste. And that hasn't been taken off the market.
But, you're right there. Methanol (which my chem prof called tree alcohol) is deadly, given you ingest enough of the pure stuff.

This happens every 228 years (Pluto is closer for 20 years)
