Since when was Noriega (Pineapple face) "the leader of Panama". He was not an elected leader, but a dictator, that had many puppet presidents. This is a known fact !
Absolutely true, and he was supported as a dictator by the United States - in fact, by the CIA under George Bush, the same president who ousted him - for many years. History shows that the US doesn't much care whether a leader that our government dislikes got there legitimately or not. When the US was worried about communism and guaranteed access to the Canal, the plight of the Panamanian people was but an inconvenience.
But this is totally irrelevent to my point, which is that US courts don't give much of a damn about juridstiction.
You do _NOT_ get jurisdiction over every single human being in the entire world merely because they
post something on the 'net.
Snort.
What country do you live in? I refer you to the case where the United States invaded Panama, apprehended Manuel Noriega, and brought him back to the US where he was convicted of crimes against US law while leading Panama, a sovereign nation.
Do you really think being in another state is going to be more than a minor inconvenience?
Microsoft would be stupid not to have a project like this going on somewhere, but that doesn't mean that it'll ever see the light of day.
Porting office to Linux is a huge project, and Microsoft has to be prepared for the contigency that Linux *does* take off in a market that Office addresses - if not the desktop, then perhaps in some embedded/appliance apps (imagine a dedicated Office appliance a la word processors).
Given the lead time on such a project, they don't want to have to wait a couple of years if they decide to exploit such a market - so they have to do the dev work now.
This doesn't mean anything other than Microsoft is hedging its bets.
in the future, they'll get what the programmers give them. that's the nature of software. if the programmers choose linux (for handhelds, etc.), then that's what users will be using.
You're kidding, right? A lot more projects get made than those programmers would make on their own - the people who pay programmers decide, based upon market perceptions, what will be worked on.
Think of the difference between production-made cars and sports cars - sure, mechanics might prefer to work on hot sports cars, but working on minivans and SUVs is what pays the bills.
Don't get me wrong, I believe Linux has a very bright future - just not for the reason you give.
I actually used an Iridium phone last year on a diving trip on a live-aboard diving boat on the Great Barrier Reef. I hadn't been on a vacation in three years at that point, and even though my company was in the midst of being acquired by Red Hat I was able to take that long-needed vacation and still keep in touch with the Iridium phone.
This really sucks - there just aren't any cells out on the GBR or in the Aussie outback.
i want to see them go back to unpredictability.. i'd like to see something truly different from the muppet franchise again. I'd like to see something as mold-breaking as Labyrinth or Dark Crystal was come out of JH Productions again.. i doubt i ever will.
you are only given 3 power terminals to plug your engines into, you may plug in more than three engines, but then two of them must go in the same direction.
Actually, you've got 3 bits there. With some (very) clever cam design, you can get up to 8 different locomotion modes going. Don't think about motors - think about shafts and cams.
Actually, Jim Paradis at Digital was pivotal in getting the Alpha division interested in Linux, and has since been important in speeding along Linux Alpha's success.
You're kidding about DPS being too slow, right? Geez, it worked acceptably on NeXTs with 25 MHz 68030s! It's not like you're redering to 300 dpi resolution, as you are with printers!
The article clearly says that it's too early to come to any conclusions. So why does the summary immediately come to the conclusion that no moon base is possible?

You're partway right - it isn't the world they're worried about. It's Taiwan they're worried about.
They harbor hopes of showing that "one china two systems" can work and thereby reassure Taiwan that reunification is possible and desirable.

Not necessarily. Not all libertarians are economic libertarians - some care more about other liberties more than economic ones.
That's what I thought too... but going out on a limb here, an MP3 player would ideally have, oh, some sort of audio out.

What about Farscape?

Ac cording to Hason Haas of LinuxPPC Apple was helping the Linux PowerPC folks on getting Linux working.
Please don't automatically assume that Apple is on the wrong side on this.
...that they bring in Lance Henriksen as Frank Black.
Hmmm. I've been trying not to post to this thread, but some folks do use CCVS for POS applications.
Thanks for the plug.

Just some credit where it's due...

Come on guys, that's just sloppy.
