So now the government will raise the price of electricity too! Feel sorry for California.
Of course this could be done now but the Big Oil people still want to squeeze some more out before they change to electricity.
Maybe the EPA will back off of them if they burn their own oil for electricity and then sell us the electricity so the_cars_run cleaner but the factories are still spewing out the crap.
Well Commodore tried that but people wanted faster speeds. You can say advertisement killed the Amiga, but it was IBM/Intel/M$ that pushed the Hz wars.
Like you said about SPU and GPU's the C=64 had its own proc w/built in OS as well as the 1541 Disk Drive. The Amiga had the Agnus, Lisa, Paula chips. But the norm was one cpu...
Any how you are right, with the time we need to leave these 10+ year old cpu/databus/hd systems for new technology, you just have to convince the rest of the world to dump all of their systems just like the senate wants you to have DTV right now!
Well actually I think VICE is much better, you get more than an accurate c=64 emulation; you get a C128, Vic20, C=16, Pet, and a few more. Plus it can emulate the c=64 keyboard nicely.
A top selling PC maker that makes their own PS's, printers and PDA's. Hmmm, we all know DELL felt the fear of M$ by_trying_to be bold and offer Linux (well just to sell it). Sure they sell servers running Linux, and MS is o.k. with that for now. But you have a top selling PC maker with a top selling OS, just think of the monopoly here folks.
Well at CNN an article talks about how America is starting to fall a little behind in areas of IT. A big focus is on how all these companies are bickering about price's and trying to squeeze as much money as possible out of the consumer. Any how I know you can get DSL in some European countries at a cheap price. Hell in Germany you can get a 256Kps connection for 14 Euros/month, and Italy can get you a ADSL 256K with modem and all for 35 Euros/month!
if I decide to write a piece of software for my favorite church, can I deduct the fair market value of that software on my taxes? Likewise, were people to contribute to an OpenChallenge project, would they be able to similary write-off the fair market value of that time?
Pardon me but why must there be a value placed on the time that one donates? Call me conservative or what ever but I think the whole beauty of Donating time to help 3rd world countries is just the humanity of doing it. I mean that is why they are 3rd/underdeveloped right, because they can't do it them selves? How does it sound "I would love to help your country to be on par with the worlds supper power, but I can't write it off on my taxes, so stay poor." Besides donating to a church should not be looked at as a tax write off. Isn't the whole Open Source about giving to the better of the community? So now we have people indirectly asking money before the produce any code?
Eudora for my email. I would love the -functionality- of Outlook including reliable synchronization with integration with a good email client.
So you want a car, but you don't want it to look like a car?!?!?
Any how I don't think you'll get away from the GUI that outlook uses so easily. After all M$ did do allot of research in the HCI area to get the best performance. If you don't believe me look at Star Office and Open Office! I happen to think that they did a good job, it's not difficult to use and you can generally navigate through it with out looking through FAQ's, mans, or any other documentation source. I do not like the M$ OS, but that doesn't mean they don't have some good points (not really in the functionality but the looks of the GUI.)
You can't beat it! Travel the world, and get paid for it! If you have your degree great! Go in as an officer or as an enlisted; both offer great experiences. If you don't have a degree I know the Air Force offers 100% tuition assistance, I think the Army does too, but I'm not sure. Any way there are so many different places to go around the world, different cultures to experience. Heck just sign up for four years what can it hurt? Nothing you're still young enough to get out and chalk up some experience with your degree.
A friend of mine told me once that Mandrake is always a beta. And with the past couple of releases I agree. I use RH 7.3, and don't plan on changing to anything else yet. I loaded MDK 9.0 and all seemed fine, except it look like they can never get Nautilus to work right in any version. The biggest upset for me is I can't get UT2003 to load. RH 7.3 and even EvilE loaded it no problems. Besides the gripping here, I believe it is a good distro for those that do want five different versions of the same program and cutesy icons. The one thing I can say Mandrake always does a good job with is the menus. They are consistent with any WM you use and quit well organized. It takes more than a good HCI approach to make a functional OS.
But, what about the source? I can freely download the source for this patch, right? So, how does that NOT violate the DMCA? Lets say that obtaining the source for this patch were illegal... what conflict would this have with the GPL?
Well according to some courts, the code is not speech, so the source itself is not dangerous, but the binaries compiled are.
Don't they SEE what they're doing in the big picture? The day a personal computer won't compute what you want it to compute is the day you switch to something that will, plain and simple. They're playing with nothing less than the death of the general purpose processor.
This is why they are trying so hard to make you depended on all of this "stuff" they are trying to get ride of the analog and easy stuff by fazing them out like a Pinto. And they are looking at the long term, I wish I could reference the article but MS even said they don't expect decent adoption for about 3-5 year, and with the rate that technology burns at that seems about right. Remember all it take is a couple of magazines to say that the 'Pal is cool and increases performance and online gaming, and half the users will be hooked, then tell families that their kids will be safe from the Waco's out there in the chat rooms, and boom, there you go a whole paranoid community just bought the ticket.
I'm spreading as much FUD as M$ about the lack of computer security.
Hell even go here MSNBC and/. is on the news as: "Trouble erupted after amateur sleuths at a popular technology Web site, Slashdot.org, noticed that a photograph showing the woman with a cup of coffee was a stock image available for purchase elsewhere on the Internet."
Well it is well with in their rights to do so. What is America going to do raise the tariffs? Better yet what is Disney going to do? Not a damn thing. They can try to not sell movies anymore but then again where do you think a good portion of the bootlegs come from? Beside living overseas for a while I have noticed that American media "takes" allot of idea from foreign TV and adds them into theirs and visa-versa.
But what bytes is that in my small town here in Italy we don't have Broadband, and as you all know/should know you need a broadband connection, well it's not an absolute need, but it would make it go a hell of allot faster.

Gaming has strengthened my marriage. My wife loves it when I game because I don't bother her when she cleans, cooks, does the laundry, or when she is taking care of the garden!
Well this could be a new spin for car manufacture, and why you can only take it to an authorized dealer. Another point to stand on is if hardware manufacture can't stand on their legs, and software makers do-who will redefine what software is? Software is nothing but a bunch of 1 and 0 on a storage medium that in a plain sense manipulate the hardware's 1 and 0. Maybe some one will try to confuse the two with a Chewbacca defense.
This is like an article I found on MSNBC. Even though fundamentally security should be an inherent part of an OS they want to charge for it. Like the MSNBC article that says some phone companies charge you more money to try to shut away the telemarketers, kind of like extortion.
Bravo, I can't say it better. Kinda reminds you of how win 3.1 progressed to 95 and how 95 got to 98. All the bug hunting was done by the users, that's why MS released Service packs for free. But of course this is going to change since it does cost MS allot of money to bug fix!

You are right...in that particular model, I don't think the Big Oil companies will let that go for too long.
So now the government will raise the price of electricity too! Feel sorry for California.

thanks to the corrupting influence of trial lawyers in Washington, DC.

This post brought to you by the letter'Z'.
WEll we all know as well that M$ used freeBSD as well on allot of there American web servers.
Hell even go here MSNBC and /. is on the news as:
