Do I live there? No. Do I have friends and relatives who have lived there or visited for long periods of time? Yes.
And I've seen some of the local films produced there in the Seattle International Film Fest, Women's International Film Fest, and Santa Barbara Film Fest. And corresponded with people who live there over the years. And followed the news from those countries for years.
Yeah, you're right, I must not know anything about privacy rights in India or Singapore. Or how being "high tech" doesn't mean you get privacy rights - if it did, we'd have better privacy rights in the US.
Yes, as you indicate, we (the US) will intercept the Canadian (and European) packets. What makes you think we care about the rest of the world's attitude towards international spying - we just had a bunch thrown out of Germany yesterday.
Seriously, India and Japan? Privacy rights in the European Union are very different from those in other areas. Sure they have tech - just like Singapore has tech - but they don't have the same level of privacy rights as "Western" countries.
Well, seriously, guys, you CAN buy preinstalled Linux. I've got two boxen myself that came that way.
Could I do it myself? Yes. Did I want to go hunting for drivers when I'm way too busy already? No.
So let people buy their first box or two with a preinstall from Penguin Computing (love that ad...) or VA Linux Systems. Then, when they upgrade, they'll be ready to handle it.
While it won't be that apparent this year, this area will become, in the upcoming decade of the Naughties, a growing segment of international warfare. Face it: Our tech makes the other countries look silly. If you can't stand the heat, you throw bags of ice, no?
Given that, what are the implications for the citizens of the countries "defending" against cyberterrorism? Well, if you live in the EU, you probably will have about the same rights as before. With the exception of the UK.
But if you live in the US, you'll have even fewer rights. We're already the laughing stock of the free world - a country where our citizens have less privacy rights than anywhere in the European Union and yet go on and on and on about our tattered Constitution.
I wonder what would happen if some script kiddies just happened to hack all the members of congress and US Senators private medical and banking records? MAybe that would change something...

But then, he's 8 yo. So, it's not such a silly idea.
Luckily I saw him do that and "cured" him of that habit.
No, it was because MSFT settled out of court after stealing all of Borland's developers/engineers. It was cheaper to "invest" $100 million in Preferred Stock. And Preferred Stock that is non-voting at that.
Ahh, the sweet smell of big brother! Soon, repressive governments the world over will be able to arrest people on sight, without the bother of having to prove anything. You won't be able to enter an airport unless you're a good corporate citizen. And if you're having a bad hair day... well, let's just say it may be a lot worse than before, that's for sure.
I think I'll use those Bill Gates facial prints I got from the cream pies and make a teeny tiny withdrawal of a few million right now...
It's the real thing. You can doodle on it, highlight it, add information to it, cross out things, indicate where revisions go, use different colors.
And, best of all, it has no spellchecker or grammatical software to tell you that you're a doofus. It doesn't care if you like to write in French with an Arabic twist. You can cut it in pieces.
And, no matter what you say, if it's printed then it's more real than if it's electronic. Who knows where those electrons came from? But we hewed the tree with our bare hands and mushed it in chemical soup before spreading it out on giant rollers. It has substance. It can be abused. If you roll it, you can abuse substances.
And, thanks to Peter Maxx, you can throw it at people.
As Red Hat gets closer to actually making a profit, the typical investor starts to panic, seeing an actual P/E (or trailing P/E) ratio of astronomic proportions.
I just want it to drop so I can buy a few thousand shares. $40 would be nice, but under $70 would be ok.
I mean, we just don't have one. We've got hundreds of pages, we don't collect data (except counts of pages and domains of visitors), and we don't tell you what our policy is.
Of course, if someone's thinking of hacking it, or doing something else like that, we want them to think we will collect that data. It is in the logs, but we never use it.
But Illuminati was always one of my faves for game design. It's the sense of humor about paranoia, I guess. That plus it was a lot easier than designing RPGs. The whole simplicity movement in gaming was way overdue, IMHO.
I mean, what's the point. I just read the Seattle P-I business section this morning where they regurgitate the Mindcraft study as if it were valid, with no negative comments, in an article on Java and Red Hat.
So, seriously, what's the point? PC Week is not unbiased, as any longtime reader knows, and it's pretty obvious that they'll just feature whatever positive spin they can make as to "why IIS and NT is a better choice for your average user who uses ASP" or some such comment.
They didn't mention this in the annual report or any of the analysis; but since I was going to inspect some of their installations, I'll try to check some of the boxen out when I go.
Always nice to read good news about an investment.
Most of the revenue growth this year is from non-French investments, and wireless/cellular services, although Net services are a growing chunk.
Or is that a different company? If it's the other one, I seem to recall some merger articles about Deutsche Telecom and Channel One when I was buying some France Telecom (FTE) shares. Maybe the news items are still available...

Seriously though, perhaps the definition of "normal" is what's messed up. My entire family is used to doing six impossible things before brunch - is this "normal"? Perhaps the reason why humans are a dominant species is that we adapt.
Perhaps we have adapted to high input lives. Autism may be that adaptation. This may have started with the introduction of television, for all we know.
And for the record, I can dance, I can sing (used to perform with my family in front of thousands), I can shmooze at parties, and I don't think the football jocks are "normal" - they're the deadweight in this society that we lug around as ancestral baggage.
Brains are what we need for the next century, not luddite notions of what's "right".
If the sociologists had their way, half the kids in school would be labelled as ADD.
Oh, and I'm also in the PTA - have served many offices in that as well as political ones.
But then, in HS we only had two seats for flautists as opposed to three in Junior High.
Personally, I think someone just wants to go on tours promoting their "why geeks are so" book, audio tapes, and classes on How To Become Autistic and Make A Million In Your Spare Time.

Sheesh. Noone's forcing you to write C++ with Borland's product. Use a GPL C++ compiler if you want.
But for those of us trying to leverage Linux into the workplace, this is the best thing since english muffins.

Yes, they can be either copyright (default in the US) or copyleft (include a GPL link in them).
But, if you copyright your sig, you have way too much time on your hands, IMHO.
You name it. Also designed games back in the day.

1. went to the prom with a date

but then, I'd sent in an article to White Dwarf with new Traveller rules for Gravity effects the day before
and you couldn't surf the web back then. IRC wasn't around. We used real typewritten letters and Liked It!
Originally, cards functioned differently in the playtest version. And all the playtesters kept changing the cards and making new ones.
The whole idea, in case you missed it, was to have fun and to get really, really paranoid. The latter was far easier than the former, of course.
But, I agree that INWO was overly difficult. It lost a lot of playability.
Seriously, if you've got a copy of the first edition, check the list of playtesters for someone with two hyphens in his name.
That's my Canadian name. I gave it up when I moved back to the US, so it's shorter now.
I still owe Steve a computerized version of Darwinopoly - maybe I'll do it for Linux first.
The techs shorted out the IIS server by walking on the carpeting in a scuffing kind of way. This knocked out the server.
After all, noone needs a UPS, do they?

I've got work to do.
AC said: "Either way, you could make Toy Story in about 10 minutes on this thing once it's up."
Yes, but what kind of plot? Would it be Woody and Mr. Potatohead lost in a hurricane with a large number of penguins?
Raw power is cool, but art takes a bit more than that.
