We do similar things here, cable companies selling logs to the same people that administer the systems of grocery cards to know if someone was watching a commercial for a product bought by you.
I wonder what sort of psycological impact this has on a person.
Really, people talk about the internet polarization of ideologies, what is this doing to say someone that may have a passing interest in say quiltmaking they rent a video, the japaneese system shove quiltmaking products of all sorts down the customers throat at every juncture, and eventually through the aid of all including the ISP, Cable Companies, etc, all the person see is quiltmaking shit, do they , A) go insane B) Join the Rosie Grier(for you who dont know look it up its worth the laugh) needlepint society. c)Gain a hatred for quilts, buy ginsu knives and start chopping up quilts, which then leads to a proliferation of cutlery advertising targeted at this same customer, who in turn becomes a serial killer due to all the cutlery advertising now.
Leave your TV on some stupid ass channel when not at home, trade grocery cards(please make sure you cant cash a check with it) and lend you cell phone to your aged aunt selma who couldnt figure out how to use it if her life depended on it.
Well the problem here is twofild, I dont mind doing it but have no way of reading the data off the tape or cards, and wonder who else may.
The second is (i dont remerber at the moment) the system it was meant to run on is long sice extinct, as well as (im thinking it was fortan, about 90% sure) has to be significantly different than it was in 65.
Making most of the code obsolete, I tried, (back when I could still read tape) to convert it over to run on my CPM systems, but gave up deeming a rewrite was neccesary.
If it still had value (other than antiquity value) I would GPL it. But alas I cannot read cards or tape and have no desire to decode cards by hand, been there done that.
This is a good point, I must admit I never though directly about this as a consequence of the reduction in PC costs, BUT theres a flaw in the Logic, software has ALWAYS cost more (since the late 70's) than the hardware itself, it may cause a shift, but certainly not the demise of MS.
MS would sell..hell give copies of Windows away if it meant they could continue their other markets, Less than 1/3 of MS income comes from desktop operating systems. Now that said they dont want to loose it but certainly it wont kill them.
I gotta get it converted, I have it on 3/4 inch tape, and my 3/4 player died last year. Ive got the bandith but the quality is/was already so horrible.
This is cool, I am the first generation out from this and remeber reading the articles and seeing the picture in wonder.
My father wrote a computer Golf game, we belive the first, in 1965, he had a couple of national news stories on it and I have a tape of the last show (nice shirt dad, and hair, and suit...lol).
It was fairly sophisticated taking into account wind and other varibles, could be played on any termina, (paper out back then) I actually spent many hours 'online' clicking though the old paper tape to load and run it on a timeshare (what a waste of then limited resources:)
I still have the cards, paper tape, and somewhere I think the latter magnetic tape it was transferred to eventually, What should I do with all this stuff, pretty boring in itself. Should I donate it somewhere , where ?
Take this merge it with the DCMA, and another bill or two the greedy politicians and RIAA and MPAA would like to see law. Start lokcking up EVERYONE that breaks this law on felony charges.
Hell youll have an entire generation of America in Jail within 5 years, The digital black market will erupt and I will become a VERY rich man, nice to live so close to Canada and be able to move stuff without customs worries:)
Seriouslly, the more these morons ind nazi wannabe's like Ashcroft crackdown the better, the pendulum swings both ways, it doesnt take a Revolution here for it to do just that, look at the 60's and the 70's after a decade and a half of morons like McCarthy.
I could see this as the single largest enfocment failure since prohibition. Bring it on
What needs to be done here is a concerted legal and public relations attack on the MPAA and the RIAA, hell pull it under the guise of civil liberties, it has been found in US courts even Judges, Prosecutors (personally) and the Courts themselves are liable for Civil Damages, IF a civil liberty has been violated.
Wrap the MPAA and the RIAA up in this start distributing a client (allowning only downloads of your own music or non copyrighted material) and lie in wait, when the MPAA or RIAA sets out to bust your chops you got em, VERY got em.
The other is ad and canvassing campaigns, get local printers to volunteer services for print (for yes advertising) and start distributing leaflets and taking signatures.
If anyone has any CONSTRUCTIVE ideas on direct concepts of being targeted by the MPAA send them to my email address. There is a limit to their power, companies are easy to go after, but if they even in one case blatantly violate the civil rights of one citizen its much easier to demonize them as well as litigate against them.
Shit pretty soon Analog recording will be on the MPAA list of CIRCUMVENTION devices. If its not digital they cannot control it, even if it is digital protecting is questionable.
I say we all tape our favorite films to 16mm kodachrome and tell the MPAA to go fuck themselves, I miss the days of that click click and splicing my own films:)
However you obviously dont understand the condition the US army was in prior to 41. The canadians would have trounced us, not to make fun of em but the numbers just have never added up in their favor, good people, good military, just a little small.
Joe Keneddy was a moron(and a pro hitler supporter), so was Lindberg , Ill leave that at that.
The GOAL wasnt to provide markets, it was much simpler than that , the anti communist plan speak of, those markets were a secondary unseen effect, there was much more selling to be done at home, and in fact the US exported very little consumer goods for quite a long time, quite the contrary, many, most of the toys I played with as a child, postwar to the late 50's were manufactured in europe, or japan, most in germany.
But one thing I agree whole heartedly with is the last statement 'i contrast to the short-sited, extremely unenlightened self-interest the US government shows now...' Let it be said its not hard to figure out im an isolationist, I personally feel the US should go after all it debts worldwide, cut all ties with Isreal and go back to the way it was, The US has EVERY capablity for COMPLETE self support, Oil, Gas, Coal, Metals, Technology, the fact is at the moment its cheaper to buy it than build it so we do. Good for all these third world shitholes, bad for the US.
You dont get the point, it wasnt our war, on our soil....
Not the european campaign at least, Pacific, that was our war.
The man and MATERIAL Poured into the European was insane, we never got paid for most of that material, especially from the russians.
Im not Belittling the contributions of ANYONE, it was your war, and Hitler and his plans, were the direct result from your. being the european communitys inaction and arrogance.
EUROPE WASNT OUR FUCKING WAR, It became our war ONLY because of or desire to aid Brittan, dont question our contrtibution, and not only in WWII but our economic support postwar, we could have left europe a pile of rubble that it was, yes the europeans did for themselves, but it was their situation in the first place.
Actually it does absole the US, Think for a moment, whose job is it to protect Chnina's citizends, from what you are saying its the US's to some degree....horeshit....
Caveat Emptor.
WRONG, we HAVE evidence if it is HANDLED IMPROPERLY IT IS DANGEROUS !, THAT my friend is a REGULATORY ISSUE , and as such an internal issue for China.
The US has for many years, longer than anywhere else, been recycling and reclaiming materials from electronics, and safley I might add. NOW things are different now, and it is more profitable to SELL these materials to be recycled elsewhere, the Chineese are fucking bidding for it and winning, willing to PAY more for it, why ? SIMPLE, WITHOUT the stringent saftey checks in place recyclingit is more profiatble, human lives are a commodity , in asia they are cheaper, that sucks but its the truth.
And why the hell should the US ratify something not in their best interests ? Like that looney hate crime online shit bill in that would violate our constitution ?
Good, for you europeans and our 'Ugly American' attitudes, are you so naieve that you think that China cares about its citizens ? Do you think that a bunch of communist hard liners arent getting rich as hell off this dumping ? Do you belive that the US wouldnt dump it on their own soil if China wasnt WILLING ?
I love european attitudes, we save, nearly single handedly europe, not once but twice, in the last 100 years, AND protect it for another 40 years from russia, you dont think Stalin wanted it ALL, and your peoples charm was stopping him from having it all ?
The US, like the UK, is always up for the 'Good Fight', with the way the euortrash is acting nowadays, it saddens me we lost so many family members in WWII protecting the very people that turn on us, shoulda let Hitler or Stalin have the whole mess, You know the funny thing , if that woulda happened your euro ass wouldnt be on the INTERNET right now calling us 'Ugly Americans' genius boy.
Yes I know this is bad for the enviroment, but the simple fact is its not like China is colony of the US and we are forcing th govt to accept the waste, THEY ARE BEING PAID !!!!!
If CHINA chooses NOT to give a shit about its citizens it on them, and THEY should have to answer for it.
This is NOT about the US, get it understand it and live with it.
Now, the people, well thats unfortunate, it really is, BUT IT THEIR GOVERMENTS(CHINA) FAULT !
Wide spread mass industrial pollution with NO regard to the enviroment is seen on both ends, the capatilist and the COMMUNIST side, the latter aswers to noone and it is thus a fair bit worse in general, no dont belive me ? Ask all the people in eastern europe what things were like during USSR rule.
Ok, so you want an alternative use ? Lets drop all this crap out of B52's on Iraq, and all the US enemies, a hell of a lot cheaper than smart bombs, could you imagine what damage a monitor would do falling form 30000 feet ?
I wonder with all the talk of MONO and.NET being looked at as an option fro Gnome, how much of this is intended to keep Gnome going in the direction it is already.
Sun I am certain would HATE to see MONO/.NET implmented in ANY core Gnome technology.
This is good for Gnome, either way if its sincere, and the help is actually there, and not just in a press release. I still have to wonder how self serving it is to keep.NET out of the equation.
Modern hardware support is critical, interfacing with what seems to be a diminishing number of compatile drivers is critical. Keeping the spec out of MS control is critical.
There are MANY options to a ground up rewrite of OpenGL supporting CURRENT hardware, working with the Hardware vendors directly is the key.
I understand this is not an undertaking to be taken lightly, I have been working on options and looking for cross platform alternatives for a couple of months up to now, there are several promising alternatives, I hope to present these in a short time.
OpenGL's time is over it seems, MS is working with vendors explicitly to limit their support, there remain major differences of opinon in it developer base and schisms seem to be forming in it goals.
Alright AM freaks, I must admit this is one of the cooles things Ive read on Slashdot in a long time. Certainly one of the most important happenings in the particle physics world for a while IMHO.
Now, unfortunatley they said they dont even have enough to warm a cup of coffee, How long before weapons research in the US grbs ahold of this ? Or have they already.
To me this is akin to the first sussefull refinment of weapons grade Plutonium and Uranium. Unfortunatley at the moment it requires too much enery to be usefull as an energy storage medium, but could be really cool for Interstellar travel,
NOW My question, Will Anti-Hydrogen react with say Normal Lithium to create energy or will its positron shell react with at a minimum the elecrton shell of the Lithium ?
If it dosent , storage should be easier than the trap they are now using,
This has been done before with fruit flies and it works well, with no ill effects, they arent MUTANTS, theyre STERILE, big difference you alarmist yahoo
First of all its not even like they are themselves radioactive, they have been exposed to radiation, no different than you getting an X-Ray
Are you of japaneese upbringing from the 60's ? Sounds like you watched too many godzilla movies.
Your question has to be one of the most confusing Ive ever read, its valid and a good question, the answer is MIPS is far more experienced in RISC architecture than Intel, and second the low cost low power consupion goal from the beggining, they will be using a 0.10 process and any competition is good competition, this processor though is intended for imbedded devices, howd you like a 1ghz risc pda ? Cant really see you squeezing an Itaninum in.
I didnt mean to be terse about your question, It gave me a laugh I had to read it 3 times, kinda like how much wood would a woodchuk chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood....:)
Well I never thought Id get an article posted, submitted 7 and never one got accepted, ANYWAY as a result, I didnt complete my story, Just figuring what the hell and let the slashdot editors take it and run with it.
One of the coolest parts, I thought it will be a 0.10 micron process, is anyone else using this small of a process yet ?
Is there hope for SGI and MIPS or has SGI decided against it in total ?
The countries you speak of , the US included, many were able to accumulate wealth through exploitation of their natural resources, the corporations have nothing to do with it, In the US over 50% of the income generated is from SMALL BUSINESS !, so much for the corporations, you speak of these corporations as living entities, that are all benevolent and responsible for all that is good,
The truth is, PEOPLE do the WORK that MAKE thos corporations what they are, and then , as of late, they turn ever more on the very people that man their factories, manage their business and are the very customers that keep them in existance.
I run several mail servers, and I admit my filtering is noxesitant, I have as of late however began to recieve spam by the boatload from asia, Myself and my clients would have no problem with such a filter ?
Are there any sample sendmail configurations out there to reliably do geographic filtering ?
You misunderstand the problem, and my post, I am in the situation I am in and thats that, Im not happy, but I cannot do anything to change it. My son is and always will be provided for, Myself, I am of the finacial means to do it, even without inscurance. I never said anything about not being able to afford it should inscurace drop me.
What I was complaining about, and it goes back to the original thread, is the corruption and payoffs that lead to this situation.
I am a Capatilist, plain and simple, I would sell anything to make a buck, buy sell broker, what have you. I have no problem with free markets, Those markets are fed by COMPETITION , NOT by MONOPLOY, and certainly not state subsidised, and ulitmatley corprateley subsidised constricture of the markets.
Buying and selling the human condition is not capitlisim, NOR is the enforcement of law to keep it as such for only one end, greed. There is a quite different distinction between greed and capatilism, and state ENFORCED markets, the latter is much more aking to communism than capilitalism
Actually its not, the procedures, BOTH of which saved hi, the first extending his time to transplant, and the second the LRD liver transplant, were perfected and invented in JAPAN !
It was their singular abhorrence for cadaver donors that lead to his survival, the company I complain about brug patents ? FUJISAWA , a Japanees company.
I sincerley disagree, Cyclosporin, the first major anti rejection drug, was not researched under patent condition, it is a substance found in an artic ergot, by a botanist quite by accident actually some years after the initial samples of permafrost were taken. and is still used to some extent albiet side effects are less than desirable, FK506 was a synthetic replacement So that dosent fly either.
