Dave Bowman's name most definitely is not a reference to Odysseus. How do I know this? Because I read the damn source material and know that Clarke and Kubrick chose Bowman's name at a stage of the project when they expected the crew to survive and return to Earth.
Your point being? In my copy of the Odessey, published by Cliff Notes , the old man makes it back.
" if you wish to refute this point, please use a logical and not an emotional argument"
You're kidding right? All ethical decisions are ultimately based on emotion. For example you feel stealing is wrong. Thats your subjective decision.
I base my decisions on: How will I feel on my deathbead about doing this? For example, when I'm about to die will I want to have had the fun of playing the game I didn't buy, or the self-righteousness of not downloading it and not playing it. I say play it and enjoy it. However if you get greater satisfaction from patting yourself on the back then good for you.
Anyone else remember back in '93 when the 601 was released? They did have some momentum. But IBM killed it. They said 0S2 would be out for it any day now. Well without a decent workstation OS nobody wanted it. IBM programmers couldn't get 0S2 out the door and it lost. Billions and Billions have been lost to intel because those guys at IBM couldn't finish OS2.
Oh, and yanks are also the fattest people on Earth - another fact, BTW.
An unfortunate consequence of having the best food in the world. Why would one want to eat any more than the minimum requirements of English cuisine?:)
There is no central PBS programming authority. Individual stations know that Buckley and McLaughlin ( Issue 1) are popular and bring viewers.
The reason liberal voices aren't heard is because NOBODY WILL ADMIT TO BEING LIBERAL! Liberalism is dead. It failed. Deal with it. The debate now is between Neo and Classical conservatism.

Can't remember when a piece of hardware just failed.
"their software delivers" Delivers what?
What software are you talking about. I think I'm pretty typical. I run IE5.5 (best browser out there) Office2k (best WP) (quake / Unreal... best games) Visual Sutdio 97 ( best IDE).

Ideas like this aren't supposed to be taken seriously. They are only inteneded to get research grants for the university.
Hopefully OpenSource's luck will change soon. This is starting to get depressing.

IIRC the UTV can record at different bitrates, therefore I would think that it has an encoder.
Encryption debuted in Win2k
Sales and marketing staff were supposedly affected least by the cuts.
So they fire the tech staff and keep the marketing droids who can't sell their free product.
Sounds like quite a plan.
Ever play Metroid on a Playstation? Or Gran Turismo on a Dreamcast? Or Sonic on a Nintendo?
The IBM money will run out. How much can they be making off selling out of date CD's?
Well frankly most distributions are nothing to brag about.
How many comprimised RH 6.2 installs are out there giving a launchpad for other cracks?
Security on both sides of the fence is piss poor.
I don't think so. No sane person can be convinced that getting more for the same price is bad.
As long as they dont include Nautilus we'll all be fine.
Wow what's the story this week:
Oh Bakula is in drag; Gender confusion abounds.
Oh Bakula is black / retarded / a chimp; don't you feel guilty.
Oh how I hate Bakula and QLeak.

I'm getting 5 new points every few days. It's getting a little excessive.
Poor functionality and gargantuan memory requirements got it removed from my system after 5 minutes.
One has to question a company that bases it's flagship product on a hideously deficient program like mozilla.
I love it. Competition. Maybe this will force the distros to actually come up with decent mirrors.
Seems there are plenty of questions to be asked about performance, project management, X platform issues etc. Might be interesting.

Bye Bye!
deal with it.
IE for the Mac is quite good. And even if it was a single platform app, how does that explain the crappy rendering?

Sorry overpriced proprietary crap loses again.
Actually I've got a slot1 P3 I'll also get a new mobo.
