A little closer to home is the DARE cop who talked a 3rd(?) grader into turning in his father for growing weed in his garage for personal use. The father was arrested, but a CA judge thru it out. These sorts of actions *are* unamerican in the truest (non-mccarthy) sense. "Land of the Free"...ouch!
there are lawyers in any other opressed group, female lawyers, black lawyers, asian lawyers, etc... But, for obvious reasons, there are no tennaged lawyers.
Simple solution: extend the age of adulthood to 31, and then see how long those oppresive laws stay in place. Tee hee.
Its like the cyber rights issues. When it was just linux geeks who couldn't view dvd no one cared. When it appeared that the Superbowl would be "record once with pay", and then the recording wouldn't work on your neighbors' player, all my dorm-mates started talking about lawyers and guns. Its easy to play "us vs. them" until we become them.
Troll. The finding of fact stands on its own. The press episode occured after the trial. Jackson's credibility with me is very high. I praise his courage to do the right thing.
Please forgive this reply to an offtopic post...but consider nuclear power rather than burning *anything*. My god, man, but a fire technology still, in the 21st century?
Agreed. His was the best post today, for sure, and maybe the best I've read this month. Consise, no religion, and involving the principal matters. Glad to see it got a 4.
Our best researcher (in a university Physics dept)recommended Delphi. My numerical analysis professor also indicated that he would be pleased if I learned Delphi. I have to admit I'm starting to get curious.
Wolfram's Mathematica has Java embedded now as a scripting language. The same way you import mathematica notebooks, you can import java classes, from the notebook commandline. Just as you would call mathematica functions and operators you can call java. Sounds interesting enough I actually signed up for Java this semester. First I made sure they taught Sun's Java, of course!
I said APPLICATION not cross platform abilities. You just don't seem to get it. Or do you really think you could write an application in c# today and run it on our Physics dept.s SGIs? Without cross platform abilities you couldn't even write a "notepad" application. Please get a clue.
There just wont be the incomapatable, Un-java, MSVM around to confuse people.
Which is *exactly* the point. Java has breathing room now. Whether it makes it or not...well we'll see. But its chances are *greatly* improved now that MS can't continue extinguishing it.
If your two semesters involved VJ++ then you never learned Java. My school teaches Java. They won't use MS software to do it because they actually teach Java. What a concept.
Right. Except that I live in a dorm which gives me a "free for life" email, and slow (sometimes 200 bps (not kbps) access). I have a cable modem. But I can't access my account from outside their net. I switch cables...i can access my campus email, but I can't use my "real" account. If i register at a site and recieve a password in the mail, then i have to reply from the same site that recieved the email or they just resend it. It sucks.
Remove one little regulation here, a little regulation there. Each tiny step to less government regulation is another foot down the path to pure anarchy.
As nature abhors a vaccuum, so does politics. Each tiny step to less government regulation is another food down the path to corporate feudalism. Don't think that killing the tiger will save the goats when packs of wolves run free.
The ACLU focuses way too much, I think, upon making the justice system more permissive.
Wrong. The ACLU doesn't want to make the justice system "permissive". It wants to keep the justice system *legal* and under the rule of law. Procedures and policies that violate our civil liberties are illegal. Period.
All right-wing, Christian organizations that I know of are very pro-freedom.
LOL...this is a joke? In the division of the Church into the Church of Love and the Church of Law, many characterizations could be applied to the Church of Law, but "pro-freedom" is not one of them.
The 19 board members, scheduled to meet Tuesday for the first time, eventually will determine how much of that information to share with other industries or the U.S. government.
Add to this that there are more private security personal than police in the USA already.
Unless people can get something "good enough" for free. Then the question becomes: "whats the differential". Good enough for free, and better than good enough costs me how damn much?
Actually there is no monetary price, but rather another sort of price. The price is that the software be, and remain, free. Does the fact that it remain free make it "not free"?
You are alive. Assume you could renegotiate with God and stipulate that you would always remain alive. Are you now dead?
Its a simple concept. The hoops people jump through to misunderstand it is pretty amusing.

Agreed. What you describe is "dialogue", and the interesting patterns of thought are why I come here. I, too, enjoy Katz.

Hey, sorry if your little geek arena has evolved beyond you into a culture. Fragmenting slashdot, by the way, is an option. RTFM. Do it. Stop whining.

IE wasn't better until after they put Netscape out of business. They didn't have to buy their tech, they bought assasians.
In my dorm its about 1/3.
every heard of cygwin?
Sun-only toy?
Methinks you forget IBM and HP (and Oracle in a different way).

Agreed that the "visual" in VC++ was disappointing. And the classes are a god awful mess.

You mean for mail not addressed to any domain which Earthlink is the ISP for, right?
From the context I believe he did mean "ANYONE trying to sendmail directly to their mail servers from a NON earthlink ip address".
They don't give a shit about anybody who isn't giving them money. Can you say "net fragmentation"? I knew you could.
Find the people that like this stuff and mail bricks to *them*.
Charitable to *mail* them the brick. I can think of more direct transport mechanisms they might deserve.
