Well if freenet would ever realize its potential, you'd be able to publish the spammer list there. Persistent data that is nigh on impossible to DDOS. Sounds ideal.
[i]and you don't "burn" the natural gas to produce hydrogen[/i]
Okay, so you crack the natural gas to produce the hydrogen? With energy produced from where? That is, where does the energy to seperate hydrogen from natural gas come from? Burning natural gas?
well... ephedrine is safe when used as directed. It's actually an asthma medication. I've been taking it for years, as directed, with no side effects. Most people take huge doses of ephedrine. So... I can't feel too bad for them when their hearts explode out of their backs in an upside down blood fountain. And yeah, it raises your body temp, so athletes taking creatine with it should be extra careful as creatine has been shown to cause dehydration. Dehydration + elevated body temp = imminent organ failure. (well, not 100% of the time, but how many more corey stringer's do we need?)
BTW, after 120 mg, it's useless to take more. All you get is more side effects and no further bronchial dilation.
1. - a few people sign the NDA and view the code in question 2. - (nothing happens for a few days) 3. - new code gets quietly released for functions A, F, H and Z in the kernel, gets exhaustively tested by several key Linux people and very quickly appears in the next kernel release 4. - confident pronouncements from Linus, RedHat, SuSE etc. that they are absolutely sure the SCO case has no merit, that they believe (but can't confirm) the code in question is "old code no longer in use" and so on 5. - ? 6. - Profit!
Honestly, I question the value of such information in the first place.
I agree. My ideal navigation tool fits on my palm pilot, and has current public transportation tables. It should also tell me where I am, relative to the closest bus stop/transit center.
In a city with enough pt, I could get by without my car entirely. As it is, I'm just too lazy to a.) find all the bus stops, and b.) memorize the route tables.
I still can't get over how easy it was to get my roomate to switch to moz. After I explained tabbed browsing, showed him a couple hot keys and turned off pop-ups he changed his default browser.
I'm a bit worried however, that moz may go the way of betamax.
Freenet is not a file sharing network. It is a publishing network. You cannot search for anything on freenet, you must already have the 'key' to get the data.
This makes it a wonderful publishing tool however, and a powerful tool for those who would publish things that the gubmint doesn't want published. Data persists for as long as it's popular and it is impossible to remove. It is also impossible to verify it's origin. Wonderful if you're a freedom fighter (or is that 'Terr'rist' GW?) with important information that the government doesn't want leaked. Frightening if your a government that is about to be hoisted by its own petard.
There is something severely wrong about financially crippling a company and potentially many of it's employees by selling a device designed to steal a valuable service. This is not out of proportion. It's 6 grand a year for as long as he chooses to live in a country that can enforce it. Big deal. He knew it was illegal.

Don't forget about Camino? Yeah, you can't run Safari. So?
IIRC, there are apps that won't run on MS Windows 3.1, so yeah they did force you to buy a new version of windows.
Your argument seems to be: "I shouldn't have to pay for the development costs of producing a new OS with new capabilities and improvements, just so I can run an improved and FREE version of a web browser that shares nearly identical functionality with another browser that WILL run on my old, cheap ass operating system." Is that about right?
You must lose a lot if you use that defense against humans. It's probably the best bet against a machine that doesn't try to read the defense (shoots random holes) but a good goalie is going to use a lot of baits and stints against a human opponent.
I do alright.
As for baiting and defense, I'm sorry, but very few defenders can block an effective snake shot even 1/3 of the time. This may be a difference in our experiences playing, but I've yet to see a defender able to consistently stop a snake, especially if the shooter is capable of a euro-angled type shot. It could be that the quality of competition in Nebraska doesn't match that of wherever you're at. I couldn't tell you.
The best defense against a good snake shot, is a better five bar.
Well, I can see a computer being able to block a shot. Just depends on how much force you're willing to allow it to expend in order to catch up to the ball. What I can't see a computer being able to do, is block a brush pass. It would have to know the rotational velocity of the ball before it hit the wall based on the speed of your brush *and* it's guess about the amount of downforce you used when you brushed it. So, not only would it have to track the ball, it would have to resolve the finer details and make a decision. This is also assuming that the brusher doesn't run for a hole at the last second either (which is standard practice). The game is won and lost on the 5-bar. I won't be worried about getting beat by a computer for a while.
It would also be interesting to see how well a computer could defend a snake shot, since there is almost no way you could catch up to a shot that fast. The standard defense for the snake is to simply keep the defenders in constant motion and hope the shot deflects back into your 5-bar.
One thing computers aren't, is creative, and it's one thing good foosball players must be to win consistently. Bank shots, curve shots, toe kicks, kick pulls, push kicks, snakes, euro-snakes, straight pulls, five bars and tic-tacs are all standards fare most players aresenals.
There is ALWAYS a hole. The foosball men are spaced so that this is true. You cannot defend every square inch of the goal, all the time. It's why I can beat people who are much better than me if I get streaky. It's also why I can lose to a girl who does nothing but spin the five bar.:)
Future worm writers are being given a homogenous, enormous and vulnerable target.
I want to be far far away from any IT departments deploying these when "Code Red rev. X" hits.
Legacy stuff sucks. It sucks to support, and it sucks to write drivers for. What MS is proposing isn't going to fix any of that. It's just going to make it cheaper for MS, more attractive to virus writers, and worse for consumers.

but... he's saying that you have to burn stuff that produces carbon monoxide... to produce the hydrogen.
So. Yeah. Producing (and therefore consuming) hydrogen adds to the net level of CO.

Your plan was lacking a few key steps:
1. - a few people sign the NDA and view the code in question
2. - (nothing happens for a few days)
3. - new code gets quietly released for functions A, F, H and Z in the kernel, gets exhaustively tested by several key Linux people and very quickly appears in the next kernel release
4. - confident pronouncements from Linus, RedHat, SuSE etc. that they are absolutely sure the SCO case has no merit, that they believe (but can't confirm) the code in question is "old code no longer in use" and so on
5. - ?
6. - Profit!

I would, but I require java.
Or publish your show to freenet. I don't know why more aspiring pirate radio shows don't do this. It's perfect for it.

Will this run on a 'consumer level' version of RedHat? If not, why not?
HAH! I'm a dumbass.

I think the - in the string caused google to puke on my query. It is DRC not DCR, however DCR appears in the search results.
Nothing to see here but a wincing loudmouth.
Quick little nitpick for anyone interested in the camera the parent poster just mentioned.
I'm currently using a Sony DRC-PC120BT.
I just tried to google for that string. It was not found. DCR-PC120BT was however.

When you life is a product's hands you need someone like the FDA looking out for you.
The FDA should inspect my caribeaner? My car? My oven? Every electric appliance in my house requiring more than enough electricity to kill me?
It strikes me that a really good watermarking technology is needed before this type of technology will be truly trustworthy.
Or good DRM.
Which is why DRM is NOT a "bad" technology. It would make the above scenario impossible.
