a friend of mine tells a story that his father lived his whole life with 4 hours of sleep. this guy would just work the day away...
the rest of the story goes that his dad died naturally at around 50. his theory is that dad used up all the life he would have had by not sleeping.
does anyone else see sleep as a sort of spiritual rejuvination -- a battery recharge with the power supply in the sky? because of this belief i tend not to want to try sleep deprevation with any regularity. (then again, as a child, i would tell all the other kids not to play dead. what if god sees you and thinks you really are? -- he'd take your soul away!!! )
Are there any stories of gods or creatures that could emit light from their eyes? I'm sure something like this exists.

I don't know about the rest of the world, but I don't have the disk space, the processor power, and the time to compile everything that I can currently just get from the Debian archives with apt-get. I can try and trash software relatively thoughtlessly.
I used to play things the build-your-own linux way. I have also used *BSD enough to understand the joy of ports when compared to the build-your-own method.
Perhaps this would be more of an issue once a "bad-guy" makes his way into the Debian Maintainership and gets a package out there that sends everyone's encryption keys off to Osama Bin Ladin Land(the Terrorist Place on Earth ). But then again, do you check every line of source before compiling?
Does anyone else see that the defendants in the "Nuremberg Files," provided a list of names, just like Napster's list of client-servers. What the visitors, or viewers, did with the names is not to be charged against the defendants. Ergo, Napster is not responsible for what people do with the links they provide.
Imagine a Napster Client like this:
*Acts as Anonymous (Secure?)FTP Server (to local mp3, etc files)
*provides a (bzipped?) Index file of all local (transferable) files, and a ServerIndex of other known servers (which is updated like gnutellas list - i ask you for everyone you know) in the root directory
*Searching would be done by spidering the servers and downloading the Index files, hashing the data locally - this shouldn't take too long... (the FTP Daemon can control bandwidth issues)
This uses standard protocols and conventions.. If anyone got your Index file, they must have somehow hacked you - not your fault (is it?).. Besides - no one is going to download songs that they don't already own anyway...
This isn't too unlike (at all) what people were doing before Napster came out...

Manhunter is a flic from 1986, featuring - wait for it - Hannibal Leckter.. This one also features the guy who supposedly caught Leckter in the first place. Now he has to catch someone else and looks to Leckter for help... I thought this one was more entertaining and even a better story than 'Silence of the Lambs.' It is based on the story, 'Red Dragon,' a name they didn't go with to avoid people from thinking it was a karate flic.
Exactly! Or even more similar, sueing Microsoft, Netscape, AltaVista, or the maker of your favorite ftp client/daemon for creating the means for someone to get warez, or mp3 files.
I would like to point out one more scary thing concerning all of this.
Microsoft has positioned Media Player on 9x% of all desktops. They have a new (closed?) format out called wmc or wmsomething - (not wmf) - i have seen it in their sdks. It is half the size of mp3 and the same quality. ZD tested it against unknowing listeners and they preferred the sound of the MS format. This format apparently also has support for limited viewing/playing.
This bothers me. Here we are developing some awesome codecs ourselves, and they have to go and try to circulate the world on their own closed standard. We are not the "Linux Community" in this case, as impotantly as we are the "World Programmers Community". We make the decissions on which direction software heads. We are the people. When some megalith gets the opportunity to give that concept a black eye something has gone amazingly astray.
Does Microsoft not know this, did they get the memo? I'll send them another copy of the memo, that would be gr-eat.

I will disagree with that. Growing up I hated everything about McDonalds and Burger King food, taste wise. (except the pickels) McDonalds was a treat to go to because of the "Happy-Meals", the chance of seeing "Ronald McDonald" and the ball pits, etc. McDonalds was regarded as a special thing, compared to eating at home. Were it not for the commercials, I would not have cared about McDonalds, just as I don't care for Arbys. (which with some early on advertisement, could have gone the other way for Arbys and the likes). I also wouldn't have this damn commercial memmorized: I'd like a big mac, mc blt, a quarter pounder with some cheese, filet o'fish, a hamburger, a cheese burger, a happy meal. mc nuggets, tasty golden french fries (regular or larger size), and salads chef or garden or a chicken salad oriental. Big big breakfast, egg mcmuffin, hot hot cakes, and sausage. Maybe biscuit, bacon egg and cheese, and sausage, danish, hashbrowns too.. and for desert hot apple pies, and sundays three varieties. A soft serve cone, three kinds of shakes and chocolaty chip cookies. And to drink a coca cola, diet coke, and orange drink. A sprite or coffee, decaf too, a lowfat milk also an orange juice. I love mcdonalds good time great taste, and i get this all at one place. I just typed all that from memmory - i memmorized it at 9 or 10 when they had the contest to memmorize and say it at the counter to win a million dollars. but i was not elligable, under 18.. And no my parents weren't home to monitor me from watching this.. I was latch-key without the key, or latch. Came home, did homework, watched TV.. My parents couldn't have locked me out even if it did exist then, I knew more about it then they did.
Interesting? I would have marked this as flame-bait... But, to burn a bra or two...
What do you suppose it means, that the "laziest","stupidest", "fattest" bunch of folks in the world are the same folks that are considered the only real "super-power". These same folks are numeral uno in scientific development and progress (especially commercially). The US, whether or not you like it, has contributed alot to the world... China may have discovered compasses (?) but the US is only three hundred years old.. Consider the developments of the last three hundred years and then point the finger at the greatest contributor.
But then, ofcourse, you don't need electricity, semiconductors, automobiles, or aircraft in china.. I suppose nuclear energy is just left right out... China is great (despite some politics). There are tons of great Americans who just happen to be chinese. Keep that in mind the next time you stereotype the US..
