There are so many newcomers to the internet now that it's up to much abuse. People will generally abuse things that are new to them. After the prohibition everyone drank like crazy for periods, but after a while they cooled off and got bored with it, they moved onto more interesting things. Eventually the internet will be a common everyday thing, it almost is, but still not every house owns a computer with a dial up account. Once everyone has internet access it will become just a regular thing, people will GET BORED WITH ALWAYS TYPING IN CAPS. Cracks will be as common as shoplifting, or armed robberies, online shops will be built with security, just like real shops. We just need to give the internet some time to cool off, once it does people will realize how they should use it. Not everyone will know about how their computer works, they won't have to, so salesman will still try to rip people off. But you'll always be able to get a geek to come along with you on a computer shopping trip, just how you can get a mechanic to come along with you on a car shopping trip. In short once we give computers enough time to grow into our culture they'll stop being abused.
heh, we actually own one, but my stepfather refuses to touch it. He wanted to restore it but he's rather frugal when it comes to spending his cash. It's a nice one too 1956 VW bug, ragtop, oval rear view window(those are really popular in the VW world). But he refuses to fix it up... maybe when i'm older...
i wonder how the folks at apple feel knowing that they put their heart and soul into programming macos, yet as soon as it hits a linux users desktop it's fried off there as fast as the head on their hard drive can fly?
NOOOO... NOt my x-files, what can possibly replace it??? There is monty python.. but i don't get the BBC... I could become a trekkie? But some of those people really do scare me.. like the ones who really DO think they're aliens and go around all day dressed like aliens... oh what to do what to do.. i could become a phish groopie.. but i don't listen to phish that often.. what to do what?? to do??!!

just go to the babelfish site and type in "oh my god they killed kenny", translated it from english to portuguese and you get "oh meu deus, mataram kenny", then translate it from english to portugese again and you get "deus do meu do oh, mataram kenny", do it again and you get "o deus faz o meu faz oh, mataram kenny" then translate it all to english and you get "the god makes mine makes oh, had killed kenny"
I'm just wondering what if this meteorite had life on it, but not life as we know it. Something like the andromeda strain. How does nasa verify is something is alive, do they use tests that would find bacteria, or do they do other tests that should find any type of life?
I agree. What they oughtta do is keep MIR up there for parts, i mean what if nasa needs a new steel plate for the new space station after it gets hit by a meteor, they could always tear one off of mir instead of waiting for a supply ship that'll cost us millions of dollars to launch. Or they could sell it to the highest bidder, i mean whats cooler than your own space station?
to the mozilla crew: what's up with only posting a linux bianary for RH6? that's really lame, now i have to wait and download 18 megs of source. Also, I would like some bzip2 zipps, my 28.8 modem works hard enough as it is, why don't we get the processor off rc5 and into some work for a change(I'm talking about my processor, as it's easier for the modem to download smaller bzips and have them take longer to uncompress)?
Maybe they're coming over to the OSS side?

Wired on Slashdot

This article seemed to be kissing a lot of slashdot a**. Looks like wired has seen where having their palms greased with microsoft's cash is going to get them. If you've visited WebMonkey lately you've seen the articles about setting up apache and IP masquerading with Linux. There was also an article about gnome and another about VMware in wired(magazine) a couple months ago. I think wired may be coming over to the OSS side of things now. I hope they do, I used to look up to wired for reliable information, but lately they've been catering more to the multi-million dollar ceo's of large companies than to all us little geeks. This looks like an effort to clean up their act.
ok MST3K == mystery science theater 3000 right? I love that show!! I even found the poster for the movie in the reject bin at my local movie store and i now have it on my wall. I wonder if its worth anything?? I'd be willing to trade it for one of those harddrives.
Do they monitor their other sections too? Like aucitons, movies, and cd's? I think i'll be shopping at fatbrain and barnes and noble from now on. Or i'll go the library. I don't like the idea of my neighbors knowing just how many linux books i've bought.
actually as i understand it furbys auto network and sing songs when they're in the same room. I'd be a simple problem of transfering other data over their ir ports (the black dots on their for heads). As for the flame thrower: I could always sic my 1000 furbies on you now couldn't i? I think a massive onsaught of tiny furry robots could easily defeat one person witha flame thrower. Unless it was Napalm, but that's another issue.
I'm rather simpathetic to the newbie user who doesn't know much about computers. Heck i remember zooming in on the page of my step fathers performa thinking that would make the text bigger when i printed. The people who really piss me off are those who act like they know all about computers but then fail drastically. Like a columist in my local newspaper who answers tech support type questions. He told a user once that there was no way to get sound off of her CD rom and that in order to save sound files on her computer she needed a CD-R. That guy should be fired, but drastically he's still out there giving other advice to poor folks. And my school computer techer who doesn't even know to access differnet computers across the LAN, i had to show her. It seems like just anyone can become a computer authority now because they know how to type.
so they ask how many computers i own. I own 5, an ibm 266, 2 commodore 64's an apple ][ and a palmIIIe. I only use two of these, the palm and the ibm, so do i say i own 5 computers or 2? and is my palm conciderd a computer, because if you concider my palm a computer then my playstation should also be a computer shouldn't it?
Computers that are woven into our clothes, painted on our walls, all networked with bluetooth or jini, folks this only means one thing and one thing alone. In 2015 woodstock will be one giant beowulf cluster.
what if it's your job? does that make you addicted? or what if you're downloading 1.2 gigs of debian, does the 100 hours that i spend downloading debian count? I wasn't actually ON the internet, my computer was. These scientist must learn that those of us who are ALWAYS on the internet are probably USING it, unlike those folks who log on for 10 minutes to check their email, or who log on just to "buddy chat" on aim. When i'm not using the internet often i fire up emacs and code, i let my computer download MP3s while i'm coding, then when i do want to log on and read slashdot i don't have to have my bandwith hogged by my downloads.
I think he was talking about REAL books. Real book(like the phone book) don't have a search button. You can cut, copy, and paste with them, but not in the computer sense.
I just wanted to point out that there is an on going project to convert books on which the patents have run out (ie. "The origin of a species" and other classics) into digital form. These books are freely distributed in ASCII form and you can always use a doc maker to make them readable on your palm pilot. I'm in no way associated with the gutenburg project, I just wanted to point it out to those who didn't know of it. As for getting new releases I suppose the encrypted documents would be your best choice, or you could just go to the library and pick up the real thing. I always perferred real books because you can drop them, get them wet, burn them, tear their pages and other wise mangle them and the most you'll be out it is 20 bucks(unless you're talking about computer manuals, those things are damn expensive).
ok so this computer has 256k of ram, dang that's small. How did they fit an operating system into that? Or was the operating system on a chip? I must imagine that the man was using some other form of storage along with the ram, i mean you couldn't even fit this post into that much ram. Well i guess i'll just stop bitching about my 3.7 gig hard drive being to small now.
yeah CAD has revolutionized it's fields. It also makes it easier to design preety 3D things, but AutoCad 2000 ships for like 3 grand. Whereas a simple sheet of drafting paper and some basic drawing supplies (ruler, sliderule, compas) shipped for about 10 dollars. So even though cad is more efficent, it's hard to earn back that 3 thousand dollars from cad.
