Ah, but you do not understand what the RDF is. It is not simply a deception or misinformation. It is, in fact, outside the realm of either. (Whether or not they apply is immaterial.)
It is about the wholesale adoption of a world view or perspective.
To get sucked into Steve's RDF means that you see the world in, once rainbow striped, rose-coloured (apple red), now aqua-coloured or ice-coloured or Ti-coloured glasses.
Wow! Talk about missing the point.
Have you ever even been to Texas or meet the same style of chock-full-o'pride Texans as Hank Hill?
IT WAS A JOKE!!! Like so many of the other jokes, it is a commentary on the character of this kind of Texan. They take pride in sharing the same citizenship (in Texas it is more than a residency -- they are Texans first, and "American" is a subset of the category "texan") with other figures.
What is the name of Bobby's school?
Why do people look down on Peggy?
Why were the guys making fun of Hank and putting I(heart)NY stickers on his car?)
For some reason you think the show is pushing some political agenda???
Quick: What other Texan is hank's dog named for? What was the party affiliation?
Quick: What ex-Governer showed up on the show? What party??
Still think there are political motivations?
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PERSON, OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT THEY ARE TEXAN.
But you seem to be so blinded by your own agenda that you can't perceive anything but own narrow world view.
NOTE: I am not indicating one way or another anything about the character of GWB. To understand it was a joke is independent.
NOTE2: Nor am I saying the show is or is not funny. To each their own. But, I, for one am not so wound up in my own world that I can see it as an attempt a humor.
NOTE3: Yeah, yeah, yeah: IHBT. TFP. HAND....
Most Macs I know of don't come with the requisite 2 NICs, and adding one would... have another 1 page guide to add that.
Dude, have you ever opened one of those things up? 1 picture, maybe 2, and 2 lines of text. Don't make up this nonsense about needing extra pages.
The administration software would have to be installed and configured, or another couple pages for that...
Once again: a paragraph at best.
If I buy a turn key system that I will have no idea, nor desire to know how to run
That is just a flat out unjustified comment. You shouldn't try to sneak equivications in like that. Turnkey != lack of understanding.
Truth is, if you are prone to setting up clusters, you are a cut above Joe Homeuser. I doubt anyone's grandmother would be doing this. G4 are used a lot in academic settings, and anyone who is doing that could probably "field strip" any machine, be it DIY or mac.
While I agree with you that simpler is not always mean something is the best, the lack of undue complexity does. (fewer fail points, lower TCO, etc.)
All outgoing browser connections get labelled as MSIE/5.5
Why skew the stats in MS's favor? Change it to someother company that can use the market share reports. (Opera would be my pick, but I am sure you have your own.)
Like I said, I wouldn't buy from eBay. Look at some of the larger companies that clear out old inventory. Also, they aren't selling them for a fixed price, so some people paid 99 for them, some 89, some paid 129 (idoits). Once I get my last one, I can give you a link.
Also, I have heard of people having luck finding old units at Sears, Walmart, and the like, but that is a lot of trouble to go to...
Series1 prices are going to probably go into a freefall
I have been findind 14hr refurb's for about 70$US. I don't know how much more "freefall" that can take. [The supply seems to be drying up as they are getting harder and harder to find, but the price hasn't escalated yet. I expect Series2 to have that effect.]
Not to doubt your statement, but I didn't see anything in the article that indicated it was *only* be provided by Real as hardware. In fact, the statement is that there are agreements to have other people include Real's technology in chips AND DEVICES. I didn't read anything that excluded a software solution.
from the article:
Media software firm RealNetworks Inc. said Tuesday it had struck deals to include its technology in an array of microchips and devices, including TiVo Inc.'s digital video recorders.
No reason why the technolgy can't be software (although an optimized chip *would* be better).
Do you have more information (that isn't in the article)? Perhaps a link?
Why? Just a update to the software (which happens from time to time as is) and a card to older boxes and you are set. (I'm sure some things can be done without the card, but if you don't otherwise use 56K, you should force your TiVo to.)
from the article: "One of the emerging themes this week (at CES) is the whole digital convergence in the home, and what we have in place with TiVo is what I think is the most concrete practical example of that," Glaser said.
In short, they are looking at an internet appliance of sorts. Hook TiVo up to the TV and the internet and you have a way of interfacing with internet content.
I just bought a Sony Cyber Shot DSC P50 for $300 (for my girlfriend, actually)
You bought a camera by trading your girlfriend??? Dude, if you are one of the/. people that actually has one you should know that they are worth a heck of a lot more than just $300.
"Valences" That's pretty cool. I am amused, and upset I didn't think of that.
get as many as 40 copies of some spams
I can kinda tell who has which spam list as they circulate. If I get 6 mails in a row from the same spam, I know it is list "A". If I get 9, I know it is list "B". Etc.
I found my way to a midnight+5min showing last night to see one of the first screenings I could.
Wow! I have been so afraid for months (years?) now about what it was going to come out like. Ever since I heard that viewers of a pre-screening (Before Cannes last year) had to sign a Non-(negative)-Disclosure, I was doubly concerned.
Set your goals low and you can be pleasantly surprised.;)
I deliberately haven't read the books for a few years now, and I wanted to go into with as "fresh" of pair of eyes as I can. I avoided all the "Making of..."s. I didn't download the quicktime trailers. (well, maybe just one -- but only for a little bit.)
Sure there are places that didn't stick exactly to the book. That has to be expected.
Sure stuff got left out. (I thought they could have added 2 more hours. But then no one else would be sitting in the theater.)
But I am glad they waited this long to do the film. To do it right.
I was worried about Vigo cast as my favorite character. He did much better than I expected.
Some one complained about Liv. I'll agree, but didn't let it get in my way.
They kept the tongue of the Elves. (Subtitles for us non-speakers.) Beautiful.
The scenery is STUNNING. Allow me to repeat: STUNNING. STUNNING. STUNNING. STUNNING. STUNNING. STUNNING.
The sets are fantastic.
The visuals in a lot of respects are what were in my mind's eye.
The casting was otherwise great.
The audience (after lining up for hours -- they opened 3 screens for it as they continuted to sell out of advance tickets all day) and sitting for over an hour in the theaters, was ecstatic.
They cheered in the battles.
The crinched in horror at the Balrog.
And after over 4 and a half hours of sitting (plus the lines just waiting to get in), were visibly and audibly disappointed to see the film end.
Take everyone you can to see it this weekend. In this age of inflated box office stats, I want to make sure this film sits above the drivel that seems to otherwise draw.
I've had my current primary eddress for about the same lenght of time (9 Years). I too get about the same ammount of junk per day.
I made the bad mistake back in about '95 of tacking an address onto web pages I was designing for clients.
I know that is why I get most of my spam. (That and my Internic registrations.)
I was lucky enough to have set up edresses for most of my early jobs. (ie, I set up a site for XYZ company and use the address of meXYZ@mydomain.com as the site's webmaster.)
Now I just filter on those old addresses.
Straight to the trash.
This of course doesn't help on the times I forgot to use a psuedo-eddress. Those I have to move to the trash myself.
Over the last few months, I haven't dumped the trash file, and seem to have accumulated about 1,800 messages in there. (All spam. Don't throw anything else away. I catalog all my old mail going back to about 93.)
I keep thinking that I am going to run analysis on the mail some day soon. You know: See how much of it comes from hotmail (not as much as I thought), how much from yahoo, how much from.ru, what percentage has forged headers, etc. Thought it would be an interesting profile of spammers. Haven't found the time yet.
Anyone else look at this kind of information?
Oh, and in addition to the domains I own, I have eddresses in about 13 other places, including some of the free services like hotmail, altavista and yahoo. None of them get that much spam.
The only other "problem" account I have is my old (*WAY* old. UserID under 2500 -- One of the first people to sign up with the service.) AOL account. [Hey, no flames here!] I guess that is to be expected with an account that old.
What are other's results with the different services?
the amount of money lost to the resources used and stolen by spammers
Yup. That was my point. But the thing is, M$, Adobe, Etc all have budgets for lobbiest. We don't. Who do you think they (law makers and law enforcement) are going to listen to?
US$500M dollars lost to 1 company is a big deal. US$50 dollars lost to 10M people ain't no thing.
Now, if congress could "feel our pain" (as an expression common to the time put it) things might change. To that end, I suggest that everytime you get a mail with a bogus "unsubscribe notice" at the bottom, I suggest you change the reply to the eddress of your elected reps. See how long they (Okay, thier staff and interns) think Spam *isn't* a problem...
Well, now that WEP is a little stronger, this is now the next way to eavesdrop on your neighbors.
I know from experience with X10 that it isn't that difficult to turn on all of the lights in your neighbor's house down the street at 2 am. Now, with Networking Over Power you can scan their network.
Or, if you like the people in your block, you can actually share bandwidth this way?

You are a geek, right? As such, I expect that you would have no interest in buying a machine *someone else* hacked. WHere's the fun in that??
Look at the clearing house type places, where manufatures dump equipment to clean out warehouses/inventory...

Those are fighting words!
I won't let this pass. We *WILL* settle this!
Meet me after school on the Quake3 server 192.1.....
Part of the fun of running your own domains is that you make up as many eddresses as you want.
Anytime I signup for anything, I make a new eddress. I can track spam this way.
Back in June 99, I signed up for something. Forgot about it. 3 weeks ago started getting spam from on that eddress after being dormant for years.
I know who to blame. I have a copy of their privacy policy. It seems they might have hit hard times and broke the promise not to share their info.

Drop in usenet traffic? Howzabout a drop in mail traffic?

Interesting to note that my spending wiht them dropped to 0$US, which about corralates with the begining of that ad campaign..

Are you sure it isn't little green fingerprints on the lens?
All they need to do is go straight to your ISP, setup a box, capture all your traffic, and anyone else's at the same time.
Much easier that leaving the "Flowers By Irene" truck outside your house around the clock...
This means I have to go back to just reading my own mail for the time being?
