HEY! thats what we need to do, we need to convince our politicians thats where spam is from, that spamning is terrorist attacks on the US.
I mean, they are technologically inept enough to get suckered into accepting DMCA, this ought to be nothing. If all spammers are terrorists, then spammers can be hunted down with terrorists.
The slogan could be "When you spam, you spam with Saddam!"
Even giving that, if the energy reclamation mechanism was hooked up to phone microphones, then we would have an almost limitless energy supplied by teenagers!
Like Livine, I don't bother with mail-in rebates. I don't for the same reason I don't do the special points credit cards. It is just not worth managing it and following after to make sure I get the good deal.
I don't think they are scandalous, by and large, but they are there to serve the manufacturer's marketing interests.
I sometimes get Carmack and Romero confused. When I hear Carmack, I think Daikatana, and this time thought, "Great, Doom III will never be released. But then I realized, he's not Romero.
Here is a quick bio.
She's 34, so she's a young woman in what is still seems very much an old white man's game.
Given her acedemic credentials, and where she is today, she's an overachiever. This may be a very good thing if she is has enough moral backbone to stave off corrupting special interests.
Call me cynical and sterotyping, but I think this is better than having yet another old, corrupt white guy in someones pocket.
Friends of ours have a 5 and an 8 year old. I know that the 8 year old is at barbie.com alot, as the article mentions, but the 5 year old likes Nick Jr.
Here is a link to a
list and description of Ben Bova Books .
Although I'm not a fan of Bova, I've read his Mars and Moonwar books. I found the nanotechnology subplot quite interesting. He treats it as the double edged blade it is.
Here is the link Section 750-219a defining telecommunications devices:
I read the section which looks like it defines telecommunications device (disclaimer: IANAL), and it seems to me voting machines would fall under telecommunications devices given the linked definition.
And even paper punch cards would be illegal, if the data was transmitted electronically in some stage of the process.
So no matter how they vote, it would be illegal to use voting machines anonymously. In which case, the voters of Michigan would have to have their votes identitied to comply with the law. Doesn't this break a constitutional ammendment or two?
I agree. Let's get priorities straight.
This kind of thinking strikes me as some kind of reverse cargo cult.
That is, the fallacy that if we give a society the implements of technology, then said society will act like a modernized society, improving conditions, because conditions are better in industrialized, modern societies than non-modern societies.
Well, If you use the heat dissipation system in those wifi boxes put out by martian.com, then you could stick em in your floors or walls to heat your house. (As suggested by Bob Cringely). Or you could build a water heater/home server.
I was wondering when we were going to drill down to this issue again.
The arguement I'd like to present is, doesn't space exploration make all our lives better? It helps feed the hungry, I mean, didn't it give us Tang, right?
Joking aside, A point I'd like to make (or questions I'd like to raise) is
Name a point in human history when we didn't have hunger, or disease, or war somewhere?
Manned space exploration is not a particularly practicle thing to do, but it drives human imagination, creativity, and problem solving.
It seems that if we are going to follow the principles of progress, we are going to have to either divert all our resources to improving the base of human condition or on the other hand, divert all our resources to improve the potential of human condition. Or we can find some compromise in the middle.
One book I found interesting on this topic is Asimov's
End of Eternity
My convictions are we need to compromise. We need to continue to work to improve the base human condition, but we cannot lose scope of our potential, of exploring and expanding to survive and achieve, else all will be lost.
When we took the intro to AI class in college, we had a long, somewhat philosophical discussion. What we concluded was this:
A computaional problem to solve is an AI problem until you know how it works. Once you know how it works and it is well defined it is no longer AI.

No, spam comes from terrorists.

It might be better than being seen on a segway.

Well, if they did, it would be a new avenue for pr0n spam, "Get Free pics of spammers getting poiunded in prison..."
No SCO:
all major UNIX platforms are covered...SCO and IRIX were dropped for this edition,
Hehe
So thats 42% of Americans who will not be /. readers.
Well, you know there are 3 kinds of lies:
"Lies, damned lies, and statistics," Disraeli
If we just read Wired, then we wouldn't have the opportunity to make comments and taunt each other like we can do here.

Probably something that is illegal in 49 states, Nevada the exception.

So if they follow through with this, they might as well change their name from Games Workshop to Gee Who?
Well, its NASA's baby. If they want to have an umbilical cord, then let them...

Is it now also illegal to drop an anonymous note into a suggestion box in Michigan?
I agree. Let's get priorities straight.

I don't recall hearing the company, Lycoris, before. When I read the title it made me think of a mouthwash (then a candy).
So will this be the great mouthwash for people to wash the taste of windows out?
