And I see you dont get the gist. This isn't the solution, but it's triggered by what people want. These kind of services will continue to evolve, because people want them, and companies like to offer what people want.
This sounds perfect. As they say, it makes *me* responsible for the file; I can make millions of copies as backup. Of course I wont give it away, to do so is at my own risk.
The authentication will be a problem of course; it means I will not be able to make an anonymous purchase on the web - something that people are quite reasonably concerned about being able to do. What will it be signed with? My DNA? What about identity theft?
A heck, I give up. I was wrong. It's another stupid idea.
This is no explaination for the phenomenon. Soil? Lasting 8 seconds?
I have a personal experience of ball lighting and it completely contradicts the results suggested.
I was 10 years old ( 32 years ago ) living in an urban town in Crawley, UK. There was a heavy thunderstorm - which I should point out would be a minor storm relative to other countries. It was about 9pm at night.
My brother and I had been in bed in our rooms when my mother came up to us and brought us downstairs. She saw visibly upset by something ( I still recall the event clearly now, for that reason ).
Her explaination was that she had been reading when she saw a ball of light, about the size of a grapefruit, arise slowly from the telephone. It hovered at about chest height for a while and hen slow drift towards the closed kitchen door. It dissipated when it came into contact with the door.
That description doesn't tie up with a bit of soil igniting and burning for a few seconds.
I don't believe there is anything mystical about this phenomenon but I don't buy this work as being an explaination for it.
I was very excited yesterday when I heard the news of the Apple iPhone. At last! A phone I can actually control, a have my own software running on! I can integrate into voice mail and SMS!
Not to be. Apple have, perhaps, given in to the airtime providers who want to lock us into old, expensive ways of working. While "Ring Tones" is a multi billion dollar business our mobile phones are going to remain retarded.
I wonder if some one will create a phone that frees us from these chains, and then shows an advert in the superbowl of a 1984 style advert... like, er, Apple?
Personally, I just replace the part to be hidden with an image of a similar type. For example, in all my pictures of porn or gratuitous violence I replace the heads of any identifiable individuals with that of Bill Gates. Works great ( well, apart from the porn )
Unless there is some overiding requirement - like your tutor saying ' build a device that runs linux ', then you are starting at the wrong point. Please, explain your problem in more detail
p.s. If your tutor really did suggest that, then they are an idiot. Find yourself another tutor. Engineers in the real world design systems to solve problems, not to a particular OS )
The web was designed by an Englishman. So any news, on any subject not related to Englishness in general, must first be approved by the British. Duh, I would have thought you would know that.

Understand now?

If it isn't widespread now, it certainly will become so.

>Wish I'd seen it. I bet it's an inspiring sight.
:o)
Yea. I'd imagine the temptation to touch it would be enormous. So maybe it was better I hadn't seen it
Because I was in the room next door, and the same room 30 seconds later.
Would you like me to draw a picture for you?

Got a few IP addresses for us then?
Thanks for the link. It looks crap, but I guess Steve can't be everywhere :o)
A very timely posting.

What a pity.
Yes.

argh!
You got me there. Nice one.
>or buy $15 'Operation' game from Mattel.
What happened? Did you loose your original one?
I couldn't agree more.

>Now, to dodge those -1 Offtopics...
Nah, should be fine. 'tis christmas after all...
Or do regular clubs work?
(Thanks for the tip!)
Java dead? Tell developers who use Eclipse that.
>In fact, a lot of them came out of retirement for a few months or a year prior to Y2K because the money offered was so good.
That sounds liek the script to "Armageddon". I wonder if Bruce Willis is free.
>You have to dive in the psyche of each member and figure out what motivates them,
Rubbish. I sack those ones.
>At least I get decent drivers with Windows
but you get *nothing else*
is a good driver worth that? Hardware is a comodity. Software that screws your rights can be avoided.
Many ATM ( cash machines ) are powered by OS2 - even today. NCR, at least.
>Response to terrorism (from the IRA) was one of drivers of the UKs current propensity towards spying on its citizens
No, it isn't. We have far greater problems in our country with our drunken citizens on a saturday night than with terrorism.
