Please explain how you're gonna get 2.5 feet of snow off your roads if you don't give money to your local government, then please. Are you suggesting the money to fuel the plows and pay for the salt and the guys driving the trucks grows on trees or something? (just an example, I don't know where you live)
Thank you for that link. I really hate to do this to the guy, but:
This is some video of the thing actually working. He did an interview for his local news station. It's an 18.5 Meg.WMV, though... (and no, I can't get mplayer to play it:-( )
I'll probably get death threats from him for posting that direct link, but it's REALLY damn cool actually seeing the thing work and move and all that. Y'all really need to see that. I think I'm gonna bag that idea of a trip to the Keys and save up for one of these instead...
The question is, "Is what I am doing honest towards the company or not?"
I used to sit over by the window and I used to watch the squirls and they were merry, but then they switched to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swinline because it didn't bind up as much.
Well, there's this new invention called TIME ZONES. Lets say I live in California, and I need to contact a company in New York about something before the close of the business day there. Please explain to me how I'm supposed to do that after *MY* business day when it's 8:00 on the East coast, but it's only 5:00 to me (if you don't factor in drive time).
Sun's engineers put technology before politics and ideology.
Please elaborate. How does the personal feeling of a person effect his/her code and also how does that effect the project in general?
Take RMS for example. He's quite vocal about his feelings about Open Source and all that, but how does that effect his code?
Alan Cox with that whole not putting an entry in the Changelog because of the DMCA (IIRC...)?
Does this make Linux worse because of these (although only two) examples? These fellows are damn good coders yet still voice their opinions on "politics and ideology". Please explain how that hurts Linux and OSS on the whole. I'm really curious how you may feel your post was not Flaimbait.
I don't get it. I always did it the old-fashioned way. Go to 7-11 and got a box full of 100 packs of matches. Stop buy a hobby shop and buy model rocket wick (water proof, for some reason). Grab a paint scraper and a hammer and cut off all the match heads (the sulfer parts). Pack them in a lenght of pipe (SLOWLY!!!) after you've drilled a small hole in the side for the wick you've just stuck through it. After packing the pipe, fold the other end over in a vice or whatever. Light it and run.

"ATI's latest All-in-Wonder line comes extremely close; closer than any previous attempt, but ATI is still bound by the tragic flaw of a PC based PVR - the Windows interface."
This doesn't take a rocket scientist to add 2 and 2 in this case, does it?
OK, maybe I missed a story or two here, but what's the problem with Network Solutions? I have a couple domains registered through them (actually I need to renew them, they both expire in a few months, but...). Why should I not renew them with Netwok Solutions? Why should I go to someone else?
I'm being serious in this question (if this is a real issue). I've had no problems with them in the past, and I have no problem with giving them the few bucks they will require to keep the couple domains that I have.

According to kcalc, anyway. I'm no math guru, so I'm not totally sure what that means, but that's what it spit out (unless I typed it wrong, of course).
Obviously the OSX UI (could easily be cloned)...and some multimedia stuff. What else?
What else? I shit load of cash in lawyer fees, that's what.
I've only "used" OS-X at a Mac Store a couple of times, but REALLY liked it. Like I'd even go so far as to dump all this OSS/Linux/M$/whatever stuff to have one Mac box. It left that great of an impression on me. But what you are suggesting is pure suicide. I would LOVE for Apple (read as: Steve Jobs...) to release an x86 version of OS-X. I'd buy it in a heart beat (I love KDE3.1, but OS-X... mmmm...). But I just don't see that happening. There's FAR too many hardware configs to consider. Apple as only one hardware config to think about: Apple's Hardware. That's REALLY easy to program for.
Aside, take a look at KDE-Look. There's a couple Window Decrations that are basically OS-X, and then there's Mosfet's widget set. OK, OK, there's more to OS-X than the look of it, I know. I'm just saying that there's MUCH cheaper ways to achive the same goal.
KDE3.1 + Aqua WD (I forget the exact name, I don't use it) + Mosfest's Liquid Widgets + CodeWeaver's Crossover + the dirt cheap prices of x86 hardware == Heaven (if it's a Mac you're looking for). Just thought I'd say it. We already have most of the parts available to us. It's just the matter of doing it...

Does anyone see the irony?
heh
And Oregon has no sales tax. ;)
:-)

MPlayer 0.90rc2-3.2.1
Hmmm... Maybe I don't have all the libs installed. I'm on Gentoo and that's the "current" version in portage. Thanx for letting me (and us) know!

There's no need to deal with sticky messy honeypots, either.
Yea? Tell that to Pooh...
/me goes and grabs his tin-foil hat.
These people can't be serious, can they?

But is someone forcing you to use Hotmail?
I can't speak on suman28's specific situation, but I will say there is a thing called "Passport". You get signed up for everything...
Wait. MS telling (read as: "force") you to use something they offer? Nah... Never...
If people could get this type of thing for free
What in the world are you talking about??
Can someone explain how a film with English dialogue can have English subtitles?
All my Region 1 DVD's (yes, I actually BUY movies...) have english subtitles. Not everyone on this planet can HEAR...
In Soviet Russia, they link to YOU!

1 foot of wick == 1 second of time.
I wata all your base to belong to a beowulf cluster of me!
So... what about us Corporate "Unlimited Licenses" users? How much do they "owe" me/my company?
President Bush may announce this project, called Project Prometheus, at the State of the Union address.
Does Babelfish support the Bush language yet? If he's going to speak about this, we commoners may need some help in understanding what he's saying.
Right here
