I'm not so sure this is just about getting to Mars and the Moon. I think China is actually attempting to do what we did to the soviet union and trying to get us to escalate in spending in order to quicken an economic collapse. I don't think we're ready for another "cold war" just yet.
I built myself a nice 2ghz system - and bought myself a dell Axim - I find myself gaming more often with the free Missle command program than I do with all my other software.
I DID spend a few hundred dollars when I was a kid playing the game - and this version is better than the atari's version of missle command.
I hadn't noticed I was doing so till this article got posted. Thanks for pointing out my 260.00 Axim is entertaining me more than my thousand dollar computer;/
The funniest claim is the one about the energy papers - if they had the government "Lock , stock, and barrel" then why did they fold?
LOL - Sometimes the ignorance of folks astounds me. Not referring to you specifically - but to the folks that are passionate that something was done wrong.
If something had been done "Wrong" the company wouldn't of had to fold.
Why do we need more top level domains? It's already getting too expensive to protect sites - I ain't a freaking money making corporation, and I don't want folks that troll my site to take out my domain name with a new TLD suffix in order to slam my site when it comes up in a google search.
That's all I need - some Hollywood guy grabbing my.com/.net/.org name under a.tv or.la domain then using deep pockets and lawyers on call to sue MY site away from ME.
It's fricking BOGUS - It's just a way to milk large corporations for money to protect the copyright, and it ends up screwing the little guys like me.
This may be offtopic - but it's not that hard to have 2 email addresses (or more). I have one that I use solely for whenever I have to register for something. I only have to go in once a month and delete everything.
If people are that adamant about giving out their email address, why not try this?
Because if you don't buck that system, it becomes the norm. Then the NYT may decide (along with other news services) - hey - now to keep that free Subscription going you need to click on the link included in our ads to keep your free account alive.
See, the NYT keeps moving forward. I subscribed once. Then my e-mail started getting spam - so the next time I regged, i used admin@nytimes.com. Then they started to filter for that, so I would reg other sites that demanded a real e-mail addy like techsupport@real.com.
Now apparently, they are using the login/challenge to keep their spam list alive.
Why do they need to do that? Why is it that important for them to collect a spam list? I say - let those who register because they don't mind do so, but don't force others who refuse to register to be penalized.
I can see a point to registering if they pulled ads, or gave a bonus - but they don't do that for the regged folks.
As such - I certainly do enjoy skewing their stats and regging bogus e-mails that I don't even know exist. I keep hoping that one day they'll get the point and pull that stupid idea.
The only bet in the house that has decent odds is the odds on a pass line bet on the craps table. (I dealt blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and Craps - then became a boxman)
course, the odds on surviving to get to that point are against you.
Best thing to do is find a person who just bets the pass line, and ask to ride his odds.
Guess me, and my entire family and friends are in the minority. Including my seventy year old grandfather.
I have a lan of windows boxes, all tweaked and maintained to do what I need them to do - From the satellite router, to the server machine for my developmeent stuff.
No virus hits, no worms, no trojans - one server has an uptime of over a year (win 2k).
That's why i laugh at folks who talk of BSOD's - they don't happen if you maintain your stuff - stay clear of commercial p2p's and use your systems for things other than pron.
One other thing I'd like to point out - It's funny when a linux distro is cited here with a vulnerability that is patched within a few days, But microsoft has a two year old patch that folks forgot to apply, and somehow Microsoft is to blame.
It's little things like the BSOD's, the disparity of treatment that cheapens the argument of anti-microsoft folks.
Microsoft has done some really stupid things - but one would thing that rational argument would be applied isntead of (for lack of a better word) "Following" geek mantra that just isn't real anymore.
with all the talk of kinetic enrgy - If I took a cessna and sped it up to half the speed of light and shot it at the earth - what would happen? Considering that the speed would be relative to a straight in shot at a continent.
In fact, we should all pay an extra 10% when we buy a car as 'possible killer charge', just like the bogus charges we have to pay for VHS tapes and recordable CD's and DVD's...
We do. Every Lawsuit, every judgement, every award against an insurance company or Car Manufacturer get paid for ultimately by the people buying the cars and purchasing insurance. Every time some lawsuit "Sticks it to the corporation" they laugh and stick everyone else with the burden of paying it.
I remember when it was cool to have every new app out there, and backing them onto what ever medium (tape drives YEAH!).
As time went by, I noticed most of the sites dedicated to warezing started shrinking, and not many I know still have all the latest and greatest (some DO still run ftp's) wheather this is because of p2p apps or what - I don't know - but most of the big time warezers I used to know went legit a few years ago.
Slashdot Mirror
In reading thru all these comments, It's plain to see that most if not the majority of those posting have actually read the patriot act.
Not only that - it expires soon enough.

Why just don't you get Zaurus SL-5600 ? Same hardware as Axim and it has keyboard!
Probably because it costs 40% more than an Axim and Keyboard.

Prince doing that is just copying "Tubular Bells" and "Thick as a brick".
I think the last concept album I heard was back in the late eighties/early nineties with Queensryches "Operation Mindcrime".
i've listened to Linkin Parks CD's - but they don't have any sort of "Flow" I can figure out.
I think RIAA might of sent the bands some funky numbers to scare them into talking out.
Hmm - five - six more articles maybe, and SCO will become the most posted/hated OS on Slashdot?
/. ;)
I wonder how Bill Gates will take losing the "Number One" spot here at
SCO fires back at IBM, Swears to go to court to collect Damages.

Funny - Clinton was the only President who stepped forward and actually called for repealing it.
:)
That was about a two weeks ago. Here's the cached google link
But don't let little things like facts get into the way of your petty partisanic and ignorant rantings.
Have a nice day

Where's the full list of top level domains?

I like your style. Do you have a newsletter I can subscribe to?

Sorry baccarat does not have the best odds.

G-buy Karma - nice knowing yah (ducks)
heh - but it was an "Unidentified Flying Object that caused the event.
Well, Falling maybe - But still...
Yeah - but what would happen - would it impact the earth? Be harmlessly absorbed by the atmoshpere? Do a tunguska event?

Oh god - holodeck accidents, Time travel incidents, and the Borg are in YOUR future!

1. - We must preserve these lands for future generations (of humans).
:) )
2. - Humans aren't allowed in these lands. Humans should stay in concrete boxes, close to the center of urban areas. Any other behavior is sprawl.
Parks = Io ?

Looking forward to saving 15 bucks a month getting rid of Privacy Manager and caller ID.
