The way everyone is acting, youd think that someone had organized a nude protest in downtown Brittania.
Besides, exactly how much rioting can happen in an online game anyway? Sooner or later everyones mother will get sick of the noise and send the kiddies to bed.
Ive been wating for a phone like this forever. I dont want a phone that takes pictures manages my phone book, maintains a calander, plays games, plays music, has fancy ring tones and costs $150.00 (or more). I want a phone that makes calls and rings when it gets calls - thats it.
What the heck is this? >> While I did pay Microsoft for Office for Mac, I try to avoid filling their coffers whenever possible, so for all the family/friends who rely on me for computer recommendations I recommend Mac or Linux.
Sounds like maybe you need to put your money where your mouth is pal. You use office but tell everyone else not to?
Sounds a lot like the old "information wants to be free" warcry that every punk hacker uses as justification to post porn all over the web sites they deface.
People always bring up Vietnam anytime America
begins a military action. The same types of stories were printed up 10 years ago for Desert Storm.
I'd say its a little silly to think that the american military has forgotten the Vietnam war,
after all, we lived it. If you dont think we learned from the experiance, check our track record.
There is a large difference between the goals that Russia had in Afghanistan and the American goals. Russia wanted to control the region, to make Afghanistan a part of the USSR. America doesn't want Afghanistan.
Once we have what we are there for, we're gone.
This is exactly what I always though a portable PC should be like. Stick it in your pocket to take with you, plug in a monitor and keyboard to use it at home. No need for a laptop or Palmtop. One computer for all the jobs you can think of.
Im just pissed off about it because I just bought a visor, Now it seems like a poor substitute.
The only way you can ask that question is if youve never lived anywhere else. It aint perfect but its better then the alternatives.

Should You Vote?
·
· Score: 1
I believe that we should all vote, but I dont believe that I have an obligation to choose the candidate I dislike the least.
I dont think I'll be showing up for this election, not because Im disinterested or apathetic, but because Im honestly appalled
by the selection of candidates.
It almost seems as if the process of choosing candidates is designed to weed out the people who would be good at the job.
This is from the splash screen that is displayed just before installation of the latest Napter as downloaded from their web site. Quote: "Unauthorized reproduction or distribution of this program, or any portion of it, may result in severe and criminal penalties, and will be prosecuted to the maximum extent possible under law." Seems like the Napster guys are having their cake and eating it.
In my minds eye Ive always imagined Gollum as looking a lot like Don Knots.
Will the linux davinci synch with linux?

Linux on DaVincis
·
· Score: 3
I like my davinci, but it seems to me that the big complaint (along with the crappy hand writing recognition ) is the fact that you cant synch with linux. If they use Linux for an OS but still require win98 to synch I think they may be missing the idea.
I doubt that anyone who isnt a parent could even begin to understand the feelings that go through me when I see another parent with a sick child. Fear that it could have been my child, joy that it wasnt, shame for feeling that way in the first place. Any parent who wouldnt take EVERY step possible to ensure that their own child is spared that type of pain and suffering doesnt deserve to have children. If the opportunity came to me, Id take it. Id feel badly for the people who couldnt. But Id still take it. Once it becomes about kids you cant base your decisions on the outcome of science fiction movies.
It is hard to describe the type o fear that I feel when I allow myself to think of the kinds of things that could have happened to my children as a result of the genetic lottery.
Wouldnt it be easier if our politicians would just listen to the constituents. That way we wouldnt have to wait for them to inflict the problem on themselves before they realize that we are right.
Im not so sure about the geeks vs 'normal' users theme but Mandrake installs easier and faster. If I had to teach my kids or my parents Linux, Id use mandrake to do it.
I would like to see non-profits/Liux community organizations (as opposed to the folks who actually make money from this) be allowed free booth space and attendance to the show. I get tired of reading about some of the organizations that have made linux what it is having to beg for sponsership or not attending the shows.
I forgot to mention that my laptop has NEVER crashed while running Linux. When I had win98 installed it crashed every single stinking time I turned it on.

Its neat but its going to be a little cumbersome in the phone booth.

Do the passwords work?
I'd be more likely to accept your legal advice if you spelled "precedent" correctly

Spoken like someone who doesnt own anything.
Win98 is on my main machine only for EQ.

Sounds familiar but if I remember correctly the Michigan Militia already lived in a state.
Also wondering just how this kind of Poo-poo winds up on Slashdot anyway? Is the crapola filter broken again? Or are this an open source secession?
Free wireless networking?

Isn't this sort of thing a little irresponsible?
Every time some thing cool comes up, it seems lke it suddenly becomes cool to find ways to misuse it under the guise of hacking.
Wireless networks are a great innovation which will be destroyed by a bunch of geeks with pringles cans on the roof of their cars.
Am I the only one who has noticed that the 10 reasons to not accept a counter offer are listed on a recruitment companies web site?
