the problem with seti is that we can't even talk to dolphins, who are 98% similar to us in DNA. what the heck makes these people think we'll be able to talk to zorg the martian who communicates by shooting streams of cyanide out of his eyeballs?
dude einstein and hawking have been hinting at this for years. just read "a breif history of time". it's all there for you. I belive neither of them just came out and said it because of the drastic effects it would have on people. Just how either of them outright saying god doesn't exist would scare tons of people, and enrage many others. Einstein was Jewish, and when he realised that some of his predictions made it impossible for a god to exist he changed them, and they no longer make sense. probably in fear.
speaking of rebooting in the mac os i can leave my performa 631cd running happily for 3 weeks on rc5(i have done it before) but the second you try to fire up netscape or ppp. down she goes, like a rock. Odd how these things are built.
i disagree about the release cycles. Keep them at their current speed. as i see it in a while there won't be too many "killer apps" to upgrade for. Linux seems to have hit most of the major market points. Let buisnesses buy Redhat6, and they probably won't upgrade until we hit redhat10. but buinesses do that all the time anyway. barely any office computers run 98. a lot of people never cared to upgrade from 95. and quite a few shops still run 3.1, that's 10 years old, but they don't care. buisnesses won't flock to buy a new program just because it's paperclip also speaks spanish and russian. they aren't as dissilusioned as many home users are. char *stupidsig = "this is my dumb sig";

Why is intel marketing a 64bit 700mhz plus cpu at INTERNET access? And why is apple marketing a cpu that can do about 800(intel style)mhz as an INTERNET computer? Don't people know that a 266mhz amd k6(like mine) will do just about everything under the sun (except Quake 3)? I can't belive they can actually get away with marketing monstor machines for something as trivial as websurfing. char *stupidsig = "this is my dumb sig";
even if i could get the movie for free, i'd still like to go see it in movie theaters. I haven't seen a single home theater with a 50 foot screen, or the resolution of actual film. Watching star wars (or the matrix) in the front row of a movie theater is an unmatchable expirience. I think after this maybe holly wood will concider puting movies out in theaters, then releasing a dv version on the net about 3 months later-for free, or a really low cost. plus there's merchandise. char *stupidsig = "this is my dumb sig";

it's incredibly hard to build a viable robot with legos. Legos really aren't structured to make vehicles. I was part of a team for my school that made one. All we had to do drive across a board and collect balls. But in order to make it turn you have to write that in the program, and you program has to use dead reckoning because there is no lego gps(or something similar). you also have to worry about hitting the other robot on the field. and a lego block can only use 3 motors and 3 sensors(well it can atually use like 6, but to do that you must have two motors moving at the same time, and programming for that gets downright nasty at times. Also if you collide with the other robot your program can get off and you will end up wandering all over the board. Which is fine, unless your points don't count if you aren't at a certain point when you finish.
Anyway programming for legos is hellish work. And you should have respect for people who can do it. It isn't easy, and if you think it is i encourage you to try it. char *stupidsig = "this is my dumb sig";

in my science class last year we used metric for just about everything(8th grade). I think it's about time the gov upgrade to metric. I also find it funny that England invented the English measurement system, and they have already changed to metric, leaving us in the dust. On another thought it sure is nice computers don't have stupid numbering systems. Like "my computer runs at 500 speeding hoarses" and "i have 160 handfuls of ram". char *stupidsig = "this is my dumb sig";
the problem with this is that your res will only be 1/4 of what it was per inch. So even though your monitor will be bigger you'll have to sit like 4 feet away to expirience the same res. Now if you happen to own a killer video card that's just dandy, because you can crank it up to like 5000X4000 and go pixel happy. But a 14 inch monitor probably can't work with that res. But if you have a 2meg mach64 like me, well then you get to suffer with pixels the size of fists. char *stupidsig = "this is my dumb sig";
could someone please post a description of what this thing is? Just reading the description makes my head spin char *stupidsig = "this is my dumb sig";
i suggest you dump Quest. If you have to initialize you account via a win9X program you know they must have their heads up their cans. Thankfully my local isp is a FreeBSD haven and can give me techsupport for operating systems containing U's and X's. I suggest you find a similar local isp who dosen't care to fork out thousands of dollars for NT systems. I used to think that aol didn't let you log into their servers without their software. But my aol toting friend recently logged in with the standard ms dialup utility. So they may be an option. You could also just setup your account and then try continually to log in. or DEMAND that you speak to their server admin. char *stupidsig = "this is my dumb sig";
you see making linux absolutly secure can also be a pain in the ass. For instance you could make a linux box where you had to be root to do any network access or use disk drives. but for the 95% of us who don't give a shitsy about having our computers THAT secure it would just be really annoying. As i understand it redhat also offers a "secure server edition". I haven't used it so i can't vouch for it, but yes it would be nice to have a supersecure linux and a not so secure linux (like mandrake) to play with. char *stupidsig = "this is my dumb sig";
the big-heads from motorrola were on cnbc or one of those other money neworks yesterday talking about the G4.

My stepdad called me downstairs yesterday and asked me about it. So i told him about apple putting roms on their chips and screwing over upgraders etc. Then he asked me for some stock advice on apple. then i told him about the new cheap ppc boxes coming out, and told him not to invest. he probably still will though, for the "short term" char *stupidsig = "this is my dumb sig";
