I truly don't have a problem with Microsoft should supply New Orleans with software. On the other hand I don't like the way it's done this time, at all.
Microsoft is here trapping New Orleans in a slick way and the mayor of New Orleans is obviously terribly short sighted and porly informed. The problem in any government, county, municipial etc. is that technical decitions are made by politicians or poorly educated/bribed advisors and not by well educated consultans with a broad software experience.
It seems to me (who is happy to not being a US citizen) that your government is no longer for the people but for the free market. Who should they protect and serve the people or big corporations?
* Markerpen and PostIt makers for publishing technology enabeling people to use their CD's. * Power suppliers for making peoples computers run. * CD-R makers for making piracy easy. * Microsoft for making WMA (which listen4ever.com uses) * Linus Torvalds for making Linux and Bill Gates for making Windows which both enable music on computers thus encouraging piracy. * Consumers for not buying enough CDs. * Movie companies and game creators for making products that are worth the money so that kids use their money on DVDs and games instead of music. * Themself for publishing music, thus making it subject to piracy.
Does IP, copyright, fair use bla, bla, bla... ring any bells? Slashdot could not just cache any page used in a story. If so they would have to contact each copyright owner to ask for permission to cache their page, but the they'd have to change "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters" to "Olds for Nerds. Stuff that used to matter."
It's entirely posible to cache pages for personal use, but not to republish through your own page. (Wonder how Google looks at this.)
The Creative Nomad/D.A.P. jukebox is really good. I've used a 10GB version and it's easy. The new ones has got 40GB which will store any relatively large CD-collection. There is (unfortunatly) no Linux support. (One of the few times my Windows boot is used.) I really don't see the point in the small ones which use flash or even CD's. With a bigger (bit clumpy, but just hide it in a bag when walking) jukebox you have your CD collection with you everywhere, no need to chose which CD's to take along in the limited CD-compartment. And the Nomad supports surround and EAX effects.
Reading the post it seems that people think that 3d isn't necessary. Well then how often do we hear people complaining about modern guis being bad. This might be an alternative. I know browsing isn't regular GUI, but it could give us a new dimension (doh.) It could spur new ways of navigating. I'm not saying the newspage fonts should be 3d. 3d and 2d should be combined. One could for instance navigate a page in 3d and then lock on to the interesting things you wish to read.
... but a uniform 3d format would be a great improvement. I'm learning some 3d by working on a polygon pusher and I discovered that finding good specs and a good format which is supported by a wide range of modellers is impossible. The closest I came was the.obj. I just hope theyll make it xml compatible so that I don't have to write yet another meaningless parser.
When confronted with the rumors of an Active Denial Technology being developed; government officials claimed that this was only a rumor. They also said that the government do not intend to pursue such a technology. Other sources within DARPA and the Department of Defence says that this is not true and that several government institutions are actively using it today.
Members of the world. Fear no longer. The toilet paper issue is solved, once and for all. No nitwick professor can now waste you're hard earned tax money on this essentially small problem. I am glad it was solved by man-in-the-street.
You don't have G3 but you do have WiFi hot-spots everywhere. Wow, where do you live. UMTS will be fully operational and tested before anyone has covered even the major cities with WiFi access. So WiFi is 11Mbps, but still UMTS is 2Mbps. Do you need more on your laptop/PDA?
Wow, back down. 1G is not 9.8 m/s. Although in a gravitational field of 1G things would accellerate at 9.8 m/s. 9.8 m/s is earths mass accelleration or whatever it is called in my not native language English.
Theories my a__. Let's just try building one. Now let's see, what do we need?
As soon as someone leaks info and tells me the DoD or Darpa or Area51 or George Bush (no wait...) is working on a gravity weapon of mass destruction I am most definitly moving from earth to, say, the other end of the galaxy.
ICANN is bad. They do little about its problems. Let us take whatever we wan't for domains and run our services without interferance. Give us millions of customers on a market closed to anybody else.
Just to _spin_ on this string of arguement. Helicopters and insects (which are the two (except VTOLs) that can hover) are subject to much more complicated aerodynamical constructions. So, when we first have a plane that small, that can spin around on a dime, just mount a gyro controlled camera that will keep focus locked at one point in one angle. Probably a tough challenge, but not impossible.
Most radio controlled aircrafts (especially slow ones) have better control than large airplanes and can usually make a turn with a radius 1 or 1.5 times the wing-span. I bet this plan can turn even quicker - on a dime - in less than 0.5 second. (Provided the pilot is competent.)

You forgot to mention that the DMCA haven't really helped them either.
The government is for and by the people (or so they should be,) not for the rich and wealthy who control the people.
Current politics work by the equation:
Corporations = Money + People
And in a democracy:
People = Vote
So it gives the equation:
Vote = Corporation - Money
