There are too many variables that make this gun totally un-attractive to potential buyers. To name a few, if your strong side (firing hand) is wounded or un-usable, is there a thumb scanner on both sides? Will it work with your hands covered in grease, milk, sweat, soda, or any number of other things that you could fumble with while you're scared shitless grabbing for your gun (yes, the cops are typically scared shitless when they draw on someone). What happens if you drop it in the dirt? the mud? what about water? What happens when you've been carrying it around so much that you've worn through the thumb sensor (yes, just carrying a gun will wear down just about any surface over time). And reloading...oh boy. Ammunition costs could make this a real problem to practice with regularly, making it dangerous for the owner to carry as he doesn't have the experience he ought to. Anyway, enough of my little rant, I just don't think these are going to be very successful.
And to top it off, it's not like you get a full ink cartridge when you buy the damn printer, they stick you with some crap half full "trial" cartridge, for what I don't know. Make sure you like the ink maybe?
"armor piercing bullets", thats nice reporter talk. The fact is, that *any* bullet fired out of a high powered rifle (300, 30-06, 308, etc...) will slice clean through body armor. Period. Body armor is meant to stand up against handguns, and does a fine job of it. When people start saying "armor piercing bullets", they're usually just flaming.
I would invest in Overture. As a previous post mentioned, they're making.91 in revenue per share, better than a lot of brick and mortor companies. They've survived the height of the bubble. Up until now, they have been paying Altavista to allow their ads for placement in the search engine, now that money goes in their own pocket. With the purchase of a more sophisticated search engine company, they could really have something going as far as long term money making. Whether it will take a lot of people from Google, probably not, at least in the near future. Even good search engines like Teoma haven't done that, but they had been making money from Altavista, so improving that engine can only help things.
The problem with their use of the code isn't the actual use of the code. There is a problem with changing the copyright, it'd be like taking some GPL'd code and signing your name to it. Yes, you are allowed to use the code but the authors name still belongs on his parts.
Well, first this would allow XBox to run all sorts of "unsigned" software through linux, and remove all sorts of incentive for people to buy more games, as they could run a lot of linux games, or even use WineX and run games for the windows platform on their XBox, which could open Piracy to their platform in a unhacked state.
This would also, obviously, legitimize Linux and I think they would be far more likely to get a run from CD version of 98 or XP Home before this happened, but doing so would make it a PC, and people would no longer have to go to MS for games, thus they couldn't recoop from their loss on the console. So in a nutshell, it ain't happenin'.
I'd like to heard from their GUI Team, if you don't likw any other aspect of windows, it's pretty to use. It has a uniform look and feel. You can copy and paste between all different applications. I'm not trying to start another flame war or anything, but their GUI is second only to one (OSX of course)
They have child abuse...one time my sister was playing and let her baby cry and cry. Not long after Child Protective Services came and took the child away.
I've always wondered if the results of an outcome were to be challenged, if the source could be audited by representatives in a court. This Open Audit could quell a lot of complaints against using said software, or get them to remove it if it is found in error. I've wondered if the same could be applied to an appeal against photo radar systems (aside from the facing your accusor thingy), to audit the source for photo radar.
Ok, lets look at this here for a sec. This study is done by people studying social behaviors, in a university. Could they possibly be geeks? Hmmm, let me think about this one for a minute. And certainly they'd want to spin it in such a way they would make them think they could get a date in the next 5 years:-). Not that I should talk......
Wow, I could really use this. Find the IP of someone who pisses me off for some reason or another. Go get a subpeona claiming they have downloaded something of mine that is copyrighted, tada, have name and address, can now open can of whoop ass.
First, how often do kids access porn in public places? Last time I went to the library (with no filtering software) I didn't see any kids accessing porn.
Aside from that, couldn't they put filtering software on a PC that could be disabled with a password, or have different accounts for different levels of "protection"? While some of those measures are not difficult to overcome, it seems that discouragement would be enough in most places. If a parent wanted their child to access the net unfiltered, they could let the library know. Hell, a coupld of the libraries I used to frequent wouldn't even allow net access without parent permission in my younger days. It's not as if these computers are locked back away in hidden rooms. Most of them are against walls or in the middle of rooms, where others can view them.
There are books in most libraries that have "inappropriate" material in them, are they going to start keeping the kids from those too? Or put them in a "adult" section of the library" Most libraries I've been to also have private areas to read these books, where you have a booth of sorts that others can't see in to.
I was just thinking it would be fun to build one for my little aluminium boat too! Of course, I've got a vision of my boat slit in two up the middle and this engine going flying off into the lake!:-)
Not quite, there are a finite number of timezones, which the time is split, otherwise your house and someone else's house (to the east or west) would be several minutes apart...but that's just not how it works.....
please try to use a *slightly* more realistic example the next time you try to make a point. Uncapping (AFAIK) typically effects upload speeds, and takes them from somewhere around 20k to somewhere around 35k, big woop. If your IPS's servers can't handle an extra 15k here and there for upload, time to switch back to dialup me thinks.
Yay Pop-Up Stopper! I've been using it for about 3 months now and couldn't be happier! It's Free (as in beer), I like to have it play a sound when it stops something, so I know when I'm stickin' it to the man!:-D
It's been my experience that the CEO of the company I work for has particular habits in the contractors and consultants he hires. Pretty much, first you need to get your buzzwords down, and be sure to make up a few of your own, that way you appear to know more than them. After your knowledge of buzzwords is down, you'll need to take Used Car Sales 101, the standard for selling your consultancy. Another good thing to do is to set one of you up as the leader, and have the other pretend he is learning from you, make up a buzzword for his position. Most of the consultants are working numerous other Gig's, yet are able to convince him to pay upper management salaries for a couple hours a week of actually being there. I hope that gets you started, it's a long and treachorous road, with with the right attitude, you'll be selling your "services" like they're going out of style!
So I don't see what the big deal is. He took Cdex, added support for gnutella, rebranded and added ad crap in it. No, it may not be ethical, but he didn't just rebrand what already existed, he added p2p filesharing support crap to it. He released his under the GPL, has source available for download on his website...did anyone even look at what it does?
I've been a big fan of Loud And Found. They do a review of all sorts of music, new artists, old ones. It's usually recommending great music that I'm either thinking, "Oh, that sounds great", or it's music that I've already got:-)

You could always have taken that $300 and donated it to a research foundation that specializes in an efficient, non-pullutant fuel source.
Give them a minute, you'll be getting people telling you that *you* should just write that software for linux.
And to top it off, it's not like you get a full ink cartridge when you buy the damn printer, they stick you with some crap half full "trial" cartridge, for what I don't know. Make sure you like the ink maybe?

I believe that is "profit!" not Prophet, unless you plan on becoming the mouthpiece of God in step 2 :-)

This could actually be a good Tech investment.

Running Windows 2000, I cycle power at least daily!

That's exactly what I thought when I read the post.
You can still buy non-recycled paper because trees are a renewable resource.
