the states are furious because of a "right now" timetable, requirement of catching up existing drivers... and a hallmark of the bush administration, NO MONEY TO DO WHAT THEY DEMAND. same thing for pollution control, school requirements, aid for Katrina sufferers... under the bushers, it's all mandates and all unfunded.
if this is important enough to do, the feds need to pay for it.
otherwise, screw 'em. unfunded mandates are killing local governments and forcing property taxes into the stratosphere. if you don't believe it, call a county commissioner and ask how he sees "unfunded mandates." I guarantee you'll be on the phone for two hours unless you scream and hang up.
our regional science nut was making his own gunpowder and hydrogen about that time in the basement, because nothing much interesting was happening in school.
lots of flashes, bangs, and stinks were part of growing up in the "beat the Russians" NASA years.
not one blinking whirligig in the bunch, either.
but the wacks who thought to pull this in the post-9/11 climate are going to twist slowly, slowly in the wind. simulcast on all broadcast/satellite channels. have a fair trial and hang 'em, should take about 15 minutes, then back to regularly scheduled programming.
damn fool stunt to take it out of the neighborhood.
has been for two years now, after first merging turner enterprises with time, inc and warner bros to form time warner... then leaving the board a couple years ago, because all the suits made it no fun any more.
this is likely to crash and burn the advertising agency (interscope?) that was behind the tarfu, and I suspect the overwhelming message of society to that is..... GOOD! bunch a'tards.
whether the reporter failed to ask the obvious question and used this honored dodge to conceal the fact, or asked and the politician obfuscated around this obvious conclusion, is unknown.
standard CFLs flicker at 60 degrees quite badly. to use them outside or in a garage in my neck of the woods, which will have lows of -16 Fahrenheit for a week at least, is totally out of the question.
fix that, and we CAN outlaw the incandescent lightbulb.
besides, all kids have to have access to a source of mercury to play with. if folks were serious about that (and all fluorescents and neon sign lighting has mercury,) they'd be legislating LED lightbulbs into use. which DO work in the cold.
and donate all their licensing income derived from patenting sync ram that was derivative of early standardization attempts in an industry technical committee, we might start getting someplace.
if not, hey, what the hell, it's only ethics and morals. I'm sure it did not influence any other large companies in the field, like HP and SCO.
"in theory it should be possible for the AACS LA to identify the players responsible for the breach and prevent later pressings of discs from playing back on those players until they are updated. As such, if the hole can be patched in the players.."
which roughly translated into English means
"anybody hacks the Belchfire player, we just lock out new titles. Belchfire fixes it for you, or you pound tar, customers. Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
just what we all needed to hear to make us want to run out and dump a mortgage payment down the rathole on one of these things. thanks for clearing it all up for us, industry!
these guys cannot accidentally conjure up this many screwups in a row. it has to be by design. the interesting question is, what are they pulling while we're laughing ourselves onto the floor over this butch?
the market voted with its (dollars, yen, euros, kroner, what have you)... and Apple won. the hardware works. the software works. it's easy to use and fun, and the kids got it.
what is there about these countries that makes them want to force you to break what works?
what they'll end up with is torrents of MP3s, all illegal, if they persist. MP3s will play nicely on iPods.
lucky for them they aren't picking on a company that the bushies like. look what happened to Saddam and Iraq for saying he wanted bush 41 dead....
you are judged by what you do yourself. if you're too slimy and gutless to stand on your word, but have to whistle up shills instead, you're slime.
if MS is doing it, then they're fraudulently distorting records and public opinion. not the first, won't be the last. but I don't do business with them any more because they are screamin' weasels who can't even stand up with a stone face and tell their own lies.
seriously, folks, everything you buy new has those funny foreigner fasteners in it. has been that way for almost 20 years. including made in US, designed in US products. every hardware store has big racks of metric stuff now, and a full line of tools in metric.
it's been done. we couldn't export if we didn't do it. so stop whining. get your 250 mL flask of schnapps out and swig if you have to (yes, hooch went metric 10 to 15 years ago, too) but you are METRIFIED! your car is in liters, your weight is in KG, and your blood sugar is in mG/dL and the insulin is in mL volume injectables if you drive to the doctor and complain of evil plots from outer space to take your inches and pounds away from you. the rubber room thickness is measured in millimeters.
now get out there, and fight for your last 25.4 mm of personal space.
seems to me IMHO that the judge should have whacked his gavel and dismissed with prejudice (meaning never able to file again) three and a half years ago.
it is customary in filing lawsuits to have information supporting your case, even here.
mostly lawyers, it appears Novell, and perhaps the water/sewer department and power company where their buildings are.
if SCO has been doing any significant business, they'd have to buy paper clips, toners, maybe even media to dash off another copy of the OS. all of those outfits would be screaming for payment, seems to me.
which logic supports the question of "has anybody bought anything from these loonies lately?" certainly Daimler-Chrysler is not a customer thanks to SCO's thrashings.
I suspect the lawyers are the main creditors, and they're superglued to SCO in a death match.
"oh, your Honor, we are but mere idiots drooling on our papers, we just want money. grant us our relief and give us lots of everybody else's money. also, your wallet and watch, hand 'em over."
I meant (120 + 100 + 100 = 320 ohms.) generally, the difference would not matter in a well-designed circuit, tolerances of 20% were common until transistors, when 10% was the norm. but it's useful to get it right and reduce the number of errors in a row, which might tip the balance between a working project and a paperweight.
sigh. you should not be surprised that this becomes a big factor if you get deeply invested in something and work through the night building it, then work through two nights debugging it.

oops, buy.
oops, negotiate through intermediaries.
the music gets stale after 40 years, i guess.

you get enough legislators, uhhh, "motivated," and there are Enough Legislators To Change A Lightbulb.
because SCO is goin' DOWN. the company is a shell game played with pyramid schemes. totall bogus.

in fact, make a Federal case out of it. apply for funding to eliminate cronyism and favoritism... uh... wait, we have an issue here........

any time three creditors have had enough, they can flip your crackling dry carcass over the edge into chapter 7.
best damn apple in the world.

wrong bloody network, though.
