"P.S. There is a reason why Firefox stomps IE and That's because WE made it good"
No, the Netscape guys who took AOL's money and ran, with the requirement of setting up the Mozilla foundation are the ones 'who made it great' remember, Netscape practically invented the browser, or at least stole it from mosaic.
Sure, IE was eroding Netscape user base through illegal browser bundling and other evil practices, but Mozilla was made great by the smartest guys out there, not only did the cash in, but the ensured their product wouldn't be destroyed by acquisition by AOL by forcing them to start up the Mozilla foundation.
when firefox was starting to get really popular, mozilla started a risky ad campaign to 'switch' to firefox, with newsprint ads etc, and the endorsement deal from google, has padded the pockets of the mozilla foundation, ensuring that mozilla will be producing the best FOSS webbrowser for the next hundred years, if internet tech lasts that long.
Because of what mozilla has done it's probably a lot less likely that anyone else who gets the chance to 'sell out' will be able to force the creations of a FOSS company based on code they developed. anyone who watched what netscape did, basically shafting AOL who got NO VALUE for acquiring netscape, and creating a massive multimillion dollar foundation thanks to google...
true, a LOT of AOL acquisitions have resulted in 'no value' but they've got to be pretty sore about firefox. all googles money goes to Mozilla, not AOL because even AOL users want firefox not 'netscape'
the example was fictitious to illustrate the point -- bad data can cause unexpected mood swings, result in worse driving, or pull all the drivers attention away from driving. it doesn't have to be as extreme as in my example to kill, what would you do if your wife called and told you you hit the power ball jackpot of 127 million while you were driving 75 MPH in heavy post work traffic that is almost fender to fender?
it could happen, that's like the mantra of powerball.
PBS Wisconsin and Minnesota produce a significant number of documentaries on the region with their own money. I realize they don't own all the stuff they broadcast, but they do keep a lot of people in the documentary business going by purchasing the full rights. i know not all of those people sell the full rights, but PBS knows which shows they DO have full rights to, and i always find local histories very interesting, i would love to be able to download PBS sponsored local documentaries for regions i Don't live in, it would be great if there was a lot of easy to find P2P links especially for high def content...
the core belief of Nazis is the 'creation' of a 'master race' of white boys through eugenics.
thus Christianity with it's 'though shalt not kill' and 'turn the other cheek' is a little light weight for a true Aryan.... although ironically the term Aryan means 'the holy' so there is religion, just a bit 'revisionist' Christianity taking away any part of not hating, killing, or subjugating those who are not white enough.
jews aren't white enough because they haven't dropped their religion enough for an Aryan.
Becoming a Nazi involves changing your religion, in other words, so Jews who are white enough can be converted to Nazi's but only if they drop their faith, Hitler treated Jews as a race, not a religion but Nazis are all about killing and selective breeding anyways... so hating Jews who keep the faith is necessarily a part of Nazism.
besides, Jews might not be white enough, or superior enough for selective breeding.
keep in mind the original RFC for SMB file sharing had nothing about encrypting the password, networks were new, the internet non existent, we're talking 1979 or earlier here... the original windows SMB filesharing was over netbios, not even over tcp/ip (because windows had no tcp/ip stack) so having SMB tell you each letter of the password was individually correct was more along the lines of 'routers' coming with the default password of 'admin' before they're configured or if they're manually reset...
it seems too boneheaded to be true, but SMB was started early in the windows 3 days, when 640k was still enough for most people.
the problem with palm, is simple, they're using the same model as microsoft. microsofts business model can't possibly survive in a free market. it require vendor lock in and illegal manipulation of the market.
all they need to do is kill any suggestion the marketing department makes, give senior software and hardware engineers absolute vetoes on feature support, and make sure that management has as little control over features, and as much over marketing as possible.
If they'd do that, get a few senior engineers worth their salt, they'd have nice, solid products with solid features, instead of being completely run by marketdroids and lusers looking for cushy desk jobs telling other people how to get work dome that they themselves will never do.
pit marketing vs management, and give the engineers (only the senior ones mind you) free reign and you'l have a solid model.
but then what do you call design features like windows networking telling you if you got the first letter of your password right, even without the rest of the password, and then letting you do that for the next letter, and so on and so on.
it was a feature of early windows networking, to do just that! like people might 'forget' their password, so they would 'need' a feature that would tell them letter by letter, if they were getting warmer on remembering the password! hackers had a FIELD day with various 'features' of Microsoft products.
the site suggests making the entire device DIY, but i think finding a nice titanium alloy tube that is extremely thin, and extremely strong, to propel a shotgun/handgun round pushing a magnet through EMP coils would be easier, and would launch a much stronger, larger EMP shockwave... the ignition chamber can be thick iron, just the tube needs to be extremely thin and long enough, to create the EMP wave. the coils are going to be a real expensive part, because tightly wound coils cost a lot to make. if you doubt me, just consider the development cost of magnetic containment fusion devices... they're in the millions, for conventional magnetic devices, and tens of millions for superconductive super magnetic coils.
besides, i somehow doubt a nail would create enough electrical charge pushed through coils no matter how thin or however tightly wound to create a large enough EMP to kill a cell phone..
that's why you get yourself a nice vintage 1970's 1980's boat of a car. you see someone texting, you can slam on your breaks crush their pathetic little car, laugh all the way home and then get a crock lawyer to sue them for your whiplash because they were too busy texting to pay attention to your break lights.
i live in the back woods. the worst i've ever seen is a bridge being out with no signs, and no turn offs for 30 miles, having to back 30 miles to get to the right road that goes where you meant to be is pretty annoying, but the only time i've seen a mile of backed up traffic is behind a john deer on a 2-lane highway that has 'tractor' warning signs on the highway itself.
just to illustrate the issue, here's why 'hands free' is dangerous, man A calls buddy B, buddy b is being a little too nice, asking how man a is holding out, trying to be sly, man a starts interrogating buddy b, and buddy b lets it slip that stranger 3 was fucking man a's wife/girlfriend, and posted a video on generic porn site, where buddy b saw it... then man a, looses it, and hits semi d, and then buddy b commits suicide a week later because he let man a find out while he was driving.
in this example 2 people died, with a hands free headset due to the nature of the information changing hands.
this would be like broadcasting hg wells the war of the worlds, for the first time over radio, and people getting into accidents looking to see if the ufo's were going to death beam their cars.
there are some things people just shouldn't learn while trying to drive a car. with a cell phone, they can.
well, if you'd just agree to me as absolute dictator of the world, 'do no evil' would be clear and concise, and we'd execute anyone who needed it without having to pass a law first.
oh and, the price of gas under my regime will be free! i just behead enough people to make biodiesel if we don't have enough oil wells, simple, cheap, easy! don't worry, only infidels will be beheaded, if some obscure place like africa runs out of infidels, denying my absolute supreme power as absolute dictator of the world, we'll just move to other weak, powerless nations until there are no more infidels in weak powerless nations, and then we'll move to the infidels elsewhere, don't worry there will always be food and jobs under my regime, and entertainment will all be good, i have a very good idea of how to manage a few billion people, and how to make slave labor in infidel nations allow cheap, renewable green energy so that everyone can have cars and laptops and entertainment. and of course, environmental protection is much easier when heads roll for violations.
the problem is, if when i die you might not get such a benevolent or talented dictator, with enough paranoia to behead anyone who might try to usurp the throne... the plus side, is i'm only 30, so you won't have to worry for 30-50 years.
i realize, absolute dictators often have difficulty managing large nations, but the thing is not all men have the intuition needed to predict what needs to be done, and where, and some are total control freaks worried about the press, etc. if you look at the classic roman empire, instead of at hitler's books, you'd understand what people need most is entertainment, food, and creature comforts to keep them content, not news of your greatness and glory...
just look at what happened to America when the elected officials tried to stop beer, compare that to Jesus turning water into wine.
my cell phone has an a-z layout keypad next to the normal phone buttons, (actually smaller buttons around them) i keep screwing up o with q, but other than that an a-z keypad is pretty easy to use.
oh and hey, my phone can learn voice commands, if i train it a bit. but it's not full speech recognition, more like an auto dial that learns 10 or so phrases.
he was making an analogy, 'idiots who drive and text because it's not illegal are why there is religion'
though shalt not text whilest driving, so said the prophet kesuki. all who text whilst driving shall be forced to shiver endlessly in the first layer of hell* to contemplate the emptiness of their actions.
* == in Buddhism, the first layer of hell is a cold, cold wasteland for those unable to gain enough enlightenment to be born again, but not bad enough for the worst layers of hell.
"But people who use cell phones on the road don't seem to understand these ideas."
and they never will, all the better if we can get a cheap, mass producible auto driving program for cars, computers don't make mistakes, i'd much rather live in a city where computer controlled cars can flock together with millimeters between cars to reduce drag and save fuel while still being able to get them to run 100 mph, and allow the highway department to spend less money on lanes..
humans could never slam on the breaks within a millisecond, but computers can turn the breaks on and off hundreds of times a second already, through ABS systems.
yeah yeah, what could possibly go wrong with computer controlled cars, tons of things, but at least the challenge is nothing more than engineering. with human drivers you have everything from drunks, to drug abusers, to just plain idiots trying to change a BABY while driving!
you think text messaging is bad... there is this project in the twin cities to reduce traffic accidents... and this one volunteer caught a person CHANGING A BABY AT A RED LIGHT.
now text messaging doesn't seems so bad, compared to people who are pulling on their pants, or changing a baby's diaper, or you know putting on makeup, but it just drives me nuts, wtf is wrong with those people... if you don't have enough time to drive 30 minutes to your work every day move closer, get to bed sooner, or just get a loud annoying alarm that is really loud but nowhere in your bedroom so you can't click it off...
i'll have to double check if it is in ver3, because ver 4 and 5 are source code only right now, but on the comparison page, they say smoothwall supports some form of load balancing, between multiple red connections etc.
lies, anyone who can configure a linksys router can configure smoothwall, and ver 4.0 patch 3 officially added load balancing.p2p doesn't mean stealing books, movies, or porn, project Gutenberg supports bittorent, linux, freebsd, many free open source software packages, even 'free as in beer' software is all using p2p...
for instance, VMware images are often available from P2P for 'free as in beer' users of VMware player. PBS doesn't do p2p yet, but someday they might offer downloads of shows and documentaries through p2p services, if i knew anyone important at PBS i'd definitely show them how much p2p saves bandwidth costs, and how easy it is to integrate it into their existing website... then instead of offering low res flash content, they could have high def, h264 content... stuff people would actually download.
