One has to wonder, though, about the potential ramifications of having dangerous predators exposed to this brain-wasting illness, and what type of 'unusual behavior' they'll start to exhibit.
My point is that the above phrasing was incredibly sensational. It implies that suddenly we will have packs of "mad wolves" ravaging the countryside.
As you already stated wolves are no more "dangerous" than the black bears, mountain lions, and many other predators indigenous to this continent. What's your point?
There has been NO research to indicate that "dangerous predators" will become a threat to humans because of CWD infection.
Your synopsis was (IMO) overly sensational and speculative. My apologies for calling you an idiot, it was not necessary for the discussion, nor was I correct.
Fact: Any Predator will zero in on weak prey.
Fact: Wolves are not particularly dangerous to humans.
Fact: Wolves have been exposed to more mind altering diseases than CWD, ie. Rabies for much longer than we have even known about CWD, much less tracked it.
Fact: CWD does not cause the animals to go "MAD" or attack others.
David Mech, a biologist with the U.S. Geologic Survey and a wolf expert, cautioned that until wolves and wasting disease actually interact, theories about wolves controlling the spread of the disease are just speculation.
Well, T-Online pumped LOADS of capital into ish www.ish.de and www.ish.com, aka Kabel Nordrhine Westphalia. This was THE cable monoply for 30-50% of the german cable TV market. They were renamed Ish as part of the marketing campaign.
It was rumored that Ish was also looking to pick up large to medium cable providers across europe at the time and become THE end all, be all broadband provider for europe. All for T-Online.
Ish then outsourced the building of their datacenter to High Speed Access, which was started by Paul Allen to funnel services to the giant Charter Communications. When he decided to bankrupt HSA in 2001 and sell the assets to Charter at pennies on the dollar, Ish was left without anyone to develop their portal, staff their NOC and man their datacenter. They hired on a few americans and basically it has failed.
Two years later, T-Online is looking to take another shot at the broadband market, and how better to do it than by picking up the devalued AOL in american dollars w/a 1.15:1 exchange rate? As others have said, AOL is probably undervalued and the NAME would go a long way in Germany. As much as they hate americans, they love american names and products.
Thus "America On-Line" would probably sell better than ISH, a local slang for Ich, or I in English. As T-Online (T-Online/DT same thing) only has a partial hold in Ish, they can let it die slowly. Ah well, Schumachers Kartbahn was the best part of that job anyways.
It's pretty obvious that Sony does not hold the US market in the same regard as it does it's home market. The Japanese consistently have gotten the better releases of GT, More demo's and even demo units inside dealerships.
Funny, this Patent application went in May 15, 2000. The USPTO had not yet switched OFF of their IBM mainframe at the time, and in fact it was most likely regularly calling home to report enviornmental data, and failures.
PTO Was a big IBM customer, but dropped the mainframe for a 'cheaper' solution from HP. IBM even offered to let PTO use it's patent searching system, but PTO declined.
An organization can afford to do that when they are the only agency to put money BACK into the treasury.
EAST and WEST (Thick and thin client patent search applications respectivly) now run on a couple of V-Classes for the databases and some K's for the web servers.
I wrecked this car and fractured my sinus and ocular, as well as my jaw. I can tell you that I usually get major headaches before it rains, snows, etc. Many times these will last for several days as the pressure slowy drops bit by bit, up to 3 days before a rain.
For anyone who watched "The Hunt for Red October" Everyone knows that the MOST important factor is 'quietness', and we all know that's where apple really takes the cake!
Another major difference between the two is the size; you can stack a lot more XServes than you can Sun machines of similar power (420R, 220R, not to mention the Enterprise 450, which is HUGE) given a fixed amount of space.
Um, the E450 is huge because it can hold 20 disks. It also supports 4 processors, which the current xserve's do not. Not to mention that it is no longer available from sun.
The closest comparison I can find to a Apple Xserve in sun's product line would be a 1u V210 which lists for $5,795.00. Of course it comes with 64-bit CPU's (may or may not be important for this particular application) and also only has 1MB of cache per processor, compared to Apple's 2MB.
It does come with hot-swap SCSI drives, which I'd much prefer to the IDE's that the apples have.
A similar Xserve (2GB memory) will run you $3,674.00, according to the apple store.
Are you kidding? SCO has some great licenses on IP that could finally push linux into the enterprise OS realm. Buying SCO and integrating the unix IP with linux or BSD would create a great product.
As a child, I loved reading. I never had a favorite author until I read my first xanth novel, "A Dragon on a Pedestal". I loved it so much, that I went to my favorite used book store, and bought every PA book I could find.
What ensued was a mystical adventure that took me from reading Anthonology, to Steppe, Mute (many, many times) Macroscope (once, though I know I should read it again) to many of the xanth series. But my favorites were true sci-fi, Bio of a space tyrant, for example was one series that I always wished would become a movie or at least be continued. I would say that I still probably own close to 95% of the books that you have published solo.
Ok, now to the question -- Where did you come up with some of this stuff? While I was in sixth grade, my Mother picked up one of the tarot series that I was reading, and was wondering what kind of book I was reading, that had mary masturbating the baby jesus.
In short, where do you get your inspiration for all these worlds, people and situations?
I've got to say that your works during the 70's and 80's are by far my favorite. Bio, Incarnations, Cluster (AWESOME!!), and all the great one-off novels.
In 2000, I started with a company to primarily take on the management of two E-10k's they were about to get. After all the paperwork was done, we finally got word that we would get our 10k on Dec. 25th. We awaited the truck and it NEVER came -- turns out that there are sever "Oak Hill, VA"'s and the one the driver went to was almost at the North Carolina border, while we were less than an hour from Washington, DC. Needless to say, we finally got the machine a week or so later.

and i thought the parent was a joke
Could a 1+ billion person local market have anything to do with those sales figures?
The US is funding this explosion by allowing H1B's from india to send paychecks back thus multiplying 1000x their family's disposable income.
Big suprise this.

Why is this?
Because there are a million plugins that make squirrelmail one of the most versatile webmail systems out there.

multiple nested slashdot, well you get the idea: Perl Source
Once it's done, and proven it CAN be done, it can be done for cheaper.

Shh, don't tell IBM...

BSD is not restrained by such petty IP issues. I liken linux to candy and *BSD to actual meat and potato's unix.
Children should not be allowed to drink beer. Especially GOOD beer like Guinness Stout.
