i think you are absolutely right. we should leave the ISS empty (3 'nauts instead of 5) on account of the US Government curtailing spending on it, and forcing other nations (like Japan) to be cut from sending up their 'nauts.
Also, now that all of the Shuttles keep on blowing up, there really is no point to being in space.
sounds very reasonable.
I say: Russians, push the Americans until they can be pushed no more. Then maybe the Americans will spend more money on developing the ISS and new space programs, and less on attacking poor nations, and raping them for their oil.
should be a public resource such as the postal service or the army.
and soon after, we can just have government made music - after which, we will have government made billboards, and then finally, government made Television programs. We'll have newspeak, doublespeak, proles, and the whole bit.
but then again, as i reread your post, maybe you're fishing for trolls.

on the topic of lawyers, why are there none that will stand up against the RIAA behemoth, in front of the supreme court? im sure there must be some gutsy, need a profile cause im just out of college type lawyers that would pursue this.
if they pursued, we could all forget this nonsensical bantering about 'what piracy is', and 'is it theft, when p2p'd'...etc.etc.etc.
if the majority of people using computers were told that their innocence was just thrown in the creek out back (read:drm) in plain english, you would certainly see a backlash. nobody wants prying eyes, not even for mp3's.
many large corporations continue to use Novell. Although their market share has not grown in the last few years, their base has been stable. Products like the NDS, NDPS, and ZenWorks have made the life of a sysadmin bearable. Their move to Linux in the corporate world, means that servers will continue to host Novell, and not be taken over by Windows Based servers.
In this light, Novell is nice to see. As for competition with other Linuces...we'll see what pans out.

I want compensation from sales of Microsoft Windows just in case it is used for spreading viruses.
not exactly how you mean this - but we could say this about everything, ie - - I want to be compensated from Sales by the Alcohol Beverage Producers, just in case the alcohol ends up killing my family, via a drunk driver.
i think it was this movie (maybe startrek?) that uses this technology, but in an advanced state...they are able to understand each other because of the chip on their clothes that does translations on the fly. So, that lizard guy could talk to the 'Last Starfighter'.
so what does this mean? well, if this is a precursor to said technology, it must be good.
wow...what a good movie. i think i'll go rent it tonight....
Instead we see ourselves suffering because of our own mistake (purifying it), so we blame the whole plant
same thing with pot - we have to stop blaming the whole plant for the buds we smoke.

ne thing I did not understand is how come the 3MB cache is helping with big database query
this is interesting, and i don't have an answer, except to say that SQL servers generally try to load all of the tables into available RAM. If the data is too large, then simply the indexes(??). If the server ever has to go back to the harddrive for data (which would make it bloody slow for a query) it will check recently cached stuff first - and larger caches means reduced time pulling data sets from a raid array or single harddrive.
that is atleast my take...it generally differs from server to server....MySQL does not run exactly the same way as MSSQL as Oracle. (which means I've generalized.)
dual xeons have owned the market for a long time...it will be difficult (although not impossible) for AMD to topple this.
many people did not upgrade to Intel's Itanium, but rather were upgrading to their high end dualie xeon systems -- they run very reliably, and very fast. a few instances where we've put in dual 2.x ghz xeons for web/mail servers...and only a slashdotting could bring them down...(well, an exaggeration...but you get the point).
instead have a pocket sized random number generator and the teams pick a number?
ofcourse, your attempt was at humour, and succeeded. from my understanding (which could be wrong) in all instances of a 'random generator', the numbers will never be random, as proven in programming. There will always be a starting point, with simple addition, can be viewed as random, but seldom are. (how do you tell a computer to 'just pick a number?', and to make sure that the next time, it doesn't 'pick' the same number?)
if the person who calls the toss never sees the face of the coin upon the toss, and doesn't call it until its in the air, is it not still random, and fair?

I gotta go take a shower now
this wont be enough. i will be buying a wire brush from the hardware store, and varasol to clean the infection.
yes the RIAA-- and now VideoTron must be lynched.

Yo, Dude. Its 2004, not 1997.
generally hindsight is 20-20

is this leahy guy the same guy that runs the trailer park? you know, the guy who walks around with a high ball glass of rye, and is hammered all day?

Imagine if your client mistakenly paid your company $2,000 extra, do you

i guess this really is a moral issue -
1 - are you immoral
2 - are you moral
before the law, immoral usually gets their ass spanked. (unless you're OJ

no more engaging in that irritating self propulsion
reminds me of a simpsons episode, where homer proclaims that "here I am using my legs like a sucker!"
"with braces on his legs before?"
certain gives new meaning to "Run, Forest, Run!"

how do we know that EV1 actually bought licenses?
with all the noise SCO is making, maybe they paid EV1 to say that they actually bought licenses....wouldnt put it past Darl and the Gang...
