This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.
Because they really are two different projects. For the benefit of others:
Mozilla is the traditional Mozilla "suite" with a web browser, email client, irc client and web page creator that work very well together. It is well tested, very stable and one of the most refined FOSS projects out there. Usability has been fine tuned over the years. It is a good choice for someone that prefers "all in one" application suites like OpenOffice or other similar office style program suites. If the only web browser you've used is IE and the main reason for switching is stability and security, the Mozilla suite is a good choice for you.
Firefox is the new kid on the block that has shed the baggage of it's older sibling. At it's base is a web browser that's built for speed. It has no other bundled programs but can be extended more ways than most anyone has thought of yet. It's clean and fast but currently lacks some of the refinement (especially in the area of defining preferences), plug-in compatibility and stability of it's older brother. Firefox is a good choice for the experienced web user that is willing to try the future with all of it's joys and minor disappointments. It is young and a work in progress but it is the future. Someday the Mozilla suite will be retired and Firefox with Thunderbird (the Mozilla email client) will replace it.
It really is the best of both worlds. Both have different pros and cons. I'm glad both were included.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES, Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS or Red Hat Desktop? There's a pretty big range here. Assuming they're talking about ES ($350 on up) and WS ($180 on up) IMO it's a good deal since they include fairly decent support (something Dell has forgotten about a long time ago). The prices are still much less than Microsoft's and Novell's offerings.
Ultimately pay the price or start supporting another distro. IMO it seems UserLinux could be a player in a few years if someone dumped some cash into it. It's not like Microsoft, there are other choices.
I couldn't agree more. One of the many great things that makes the iPod better (and different) is the screen and access to text files and "databases" (I use the term loosely) like piPod (pizza place reviews) style information, pod2go (rss newsreader), iCal support, phone numbers and someday custom Quicktime based applications. The screen is so much of the iPod to me one without it is a waste.
I fear a screenless iPod will end up like the Pippin (one of the very few Apple failures). I know the screen adds to the size but think of this: having a 256M music player and read only pda for $99USD. I'd toss my Palm for that but maybe I'm alone on this.
PTC's 1999-2000 Least & Most Family-Friendly Shows:
2) Family Guy
(Fox/not ranked last season)
Fox's Family Guy was unbelievably foul. This low-rated, raunchy, animated series centered on a couple, their two teenagers, and their precociously evil infant son. In its first full year, the show's creators managed to include nearly every conceivable obscenity, and references to every imaginable sexual perversion from incest to necrophilia. Series staples included nudity and references to pornography and masturbation. One episode this spring featured Peter Griffin giving his adolescent son his entire stockpile of pornographic magazines. The fact that Family Guy aired during the family hour makes it that much worse. Institutions such as the church and family were held up to ridicule on a near-weekly basis. Fortunately, The Family Guy was not picked up for next season.
From "Chitty Chitty Death Bang"
Jesus: "Okay, everybody, for my next miracle, I'm going to turn water into funk!"
I'm bothered that it only made number two (beaten by WWE). It was one of funniest shows ever on tv. Thankfully, unlike Jesus, this show has been resurrected. Can someone please tell these churchies to go away and shut the fuck up? I going out to do some toad now.
Ok, so Schaefer and Corwin have to pay 250k each and the company pays $160m to the US Govt. Like all these fines the US Govt. collects does any of it make it back to those that got burnt over the years? The company I work for buys a over a million a year in DRAM chips so we're been hit by this price fixing. Do we get anything? Of course the answer is no.
I think companies should be punished for theft and price fixing but I have a problem when the US Govt. just dumps those fines back their coffers (or for tax breaks for the rich instead of reducing the general deficit).
IMO it's still a scam and the general public is still getting screwed.
For the rest of us I think the Belkin
TuneDok Car Holder looks pretty cool. Griffin also has a lot of iPod stuff. Both companies offer car chargers too. Check out the
iPod Lounge forums for user recommendations before buying.
Before everyone jumps all over Karma Sucks take a moment to see what he's saying: How much trust can you place in a censored media? The answer is none. Even if they say the sky is blue you still feel the need to check. No good comes from hiding the facts, no matter what the reason is.
Look at the position of "Drug Czar" and picture the same tactics used for IP enforcement: prison and "rehabilitation". How about if you violate an IP law you lose the ability to get a federally backed college student loan.
The private prison industry is growing and to sustain that growth they need fresh meat. Any guesses who's on the menu?
The medical records part is a state of Florida issue. The Feds have done nothing about his interstate trafficing of large amounts of illegally purchased drugs. There are more than two people that have already testified that they sold him drugs without a prescription and that he moved them from Florida to New York on multiple occasions. I suspect if he was not so rich or so whitebread the Feds would've had him in court by now. Hell, he'd most likely would be in jail by now.
The feds are giving Rush a free ride and Florida is "running out the clock" on any charges they could levy against him.
The early photocopiers in the USSR had a state issued serial number eched on the glass so copies could tracked to that machine and possible the user(s). And the tracking wasn't about counterfeiting either.
It seems they were ahead of the US by 30+ years. Another sign of a dying empire.
... it appears that they think that no one will be able to make the shots match the Warren Commission Report.
From "Full Metal Jacket"
HARTMAN: Anybody know who Lee Harvey Oswald was?
(Almost everybody raises his hand.) HARTMAN: Private Snowball?
SNOWBALL: Sir, he shot Kennedy, sir!
HARTMAN: That's right, and do you know how far away he was?
SNOWBALL: Sir, it was pretty far! From that book suppository building, sir!
(The recruits laugh at "suppository.") HARTMAN: All right, knock it off! Two hundred and fifty feet! He was two hundred and fifty feet away and shooting at a moving target. Oswald got off three rounds with an old Italian bolt action rifle in only six seconds and scored two hits, including a head shot! Do any of you people know where these individuals learned to shoot?
(JOKER raises his hand.) HARTMAN: Private Joker?
JOKER: Sir, in the Marines, sir!
HARTMAN: In the Marines! Outstanding! Those individuals showed what one motivated marine and his rifle can do! And before you ladies leave my island, you will be able to do the same thing!
Picture Rush Limbaugh running around a maze munching on pills at every chance he can. When he hits a super pill a sound clip of him saying "Talent on loan from God!" plays. All along he's getting chased by three police officers. Oops, he's part of the "Radical Right" and the cops just look the other way for them. Make it two hippies and an ACLU lawyer.
Maybe I'll just settle for a John Ashcroft pinata.
Because Berkeley is one the best schools in the world. Yes, there are "Berkeley" politics in and around the community but for the vast, vast majority of the time their scientific research is nonpartisan and beyond reproach.
Pixar started off great and just got better. "Toy Story" was revolutionary until "Monsters, Inc" (with the snow on Sully's fur). Now "The Incredibles" makes "Monsters, Inc" look dated. Their scripts have also followed the same path. While other places will produce an animated movie with a second rate script IMO this was never the case with Pixar. Their visuals and their writing stand above the others.
They beat Disney down fair and square. Disney got fat and lazy, enjoying the revenue Mickey and the string of third rate movies they've made over the last few decades have brought in while Pixar overtook them without notice.
Pixar films have a very unique style to them that IMO Disney won't be able to copy. Between having some of the best artists and best programmers in the world I think Disney is SOL. They just got too greedy and now Pixar going to hammer them.
While there I started to feel better, and the pressure was letting up, and I did not want to be a GOMER in their emergency room.
From wikipedia:
Gomer: Stands for "Get Out Of My Emergency Room". This applies to anyone who comes in for a bogus reason. For example, a person comes in drunk rating less than 50 on the blaylock scale. Gomer was first introduced in the book by Samuel Shem "The House of God" - a nickname for a teaching hospital.

"How would of Horatio Alger handle this situation?" is no way for a government to work with the media.
Karma Sucks' point is quite valid.
Yes he would. Thankfully the US has a large supply of SUVs that could help. =)
I think it would generate enough force to help him qualify for the X-Prize. =)

They'd have to pay a fee to the patent holder.

Agreed but how many people are going to accept the next "Toy Story" looking very different from the first two?

With such a wide variety of "computer displays" available it seems it would be worth reinvestigating the results and looking for a relationship.
However, the relief is apparently short-lived and comes only with sufficiently high dosage to get fairly high ...
Sir, I accept your challenge. Give me a few days and I'll report back. =)
