i don't think the provider has to make it possible for us to copy their stuff, even for fair use... they just can't go after us for doing it -- oh, unless you're breaking DMCA, which bypassing the broadcast flag may fall under...
well, if you're gonna be borrowing your friends books or going to a library, then make sure they're paper books, not e-books.... same problem there, right?
i hate him too, but the $40million was private money donated for that cause... so you're wrong to compare that to the $1billion taxpayer money for hubble.
Yeah, that is frustrating. The coming of digital cable as our only choice sounds great, but it'll end up limiting what we can do with our programming, and give the cable companies control again...
I'm afraid that someday we'll be paying for cable per tv, just like we used to have to pay per computer when they could control that... hopefully we can end up with a digital cable router-like device...
Please do jump off a ship -- I'm serious, and hit the prop on the way down. Call me before you do so I can watch... and film... and call your parents so they can watch... and film... and laugh...
Congratulations -- more people using Microsoft servers -- does that mean MS servers are better? They may or not be -- I'd say no. I'll tell ya they're easier to admin and develop for. These stats tell me that more people/businesses are taking the easier, but maybe not better route... that's all. If you're running Linux servers right now, then good job -- you probably understand a lot more about the system than the new Windows server admins.
Don't listen to the stats - use what you want. If that's Windows, then fine -- if it's Linux, then fine (IMO -- better:)).
omg, this post makes me so angry. sorry to rant. i just hate lemurs.
i rewatched that scene in matrix 1 -- they show them working on the back plugs, but you don't see them get pulled out of his back. Half of them were covered up by gauze, but i'm pretty sure they didn't actually show them coming out.
also, remember he still has arm plugs -- when neo woke up in his quarters for the first time, he had an IV plugged into his arm -- remember him pulling out that long needle?
I believe when Trinity logged into the backup power station, she changed the password to 'zion101' -- can anyone else confirm that? I got a kick outta it:)
yeah, that really pissed me off too. he's getting an email from me tonight -- everybody else here write him/her too -- nice journalism...i think it's called....research?
Anyone successfully upgraded from Ximian Gnome?
on
Red Hat 8.0 Released
·
· Score: 1
I was running Ximian Gnome, and upgraded last night to RH 8.0. When I try to login with Gnome, it says that Gnome is not installed. I can eventually get in, but the menus aren't populated, except for the "KDE Menus" -- so it seems that it's just a broken Gnome install now.
Rather than waste hours figuring this out, I'm thinking of either "rpm -e --force [ximian gnome packages]", or just starting over with a fresh install..Suggestions?
I know a lot of us are saying that we read this wrong, but still, this is poor. They put stuff like that in their EULA at the same time they're trying to prove in court that they're not using their monopoly to force us to buy other products.
anybody else getting ill by reading this?
whoa..
"what are we going to do tonight, redmond?"
"same thing we do every night, EULA, try to take over the world"
This project is impressive -- i saw that they're not EE's, so they had a hard time figuring out how the contact sheets are picking up dart throws. They came up with a good work-around, but i'll explain how the thing was supposed to work -- (i'm doing a similar implementation to this for my senior EE project).
WIRING:
Contact sheet 1: Basically, the grid is broken down into two halves. one of the contact sheets connects full wedges (ie, 20, 19, etc) across the single/double/triple boundaries together with another wedge on the other half. Therefore, there's 10 wires (20/2 = 10)
Contact sheet 2: contact sheet two connects all the point values on each half...so, for half #1, one wire connects all singles, one wire connects all doubles, etc... one wire connects all singles on half #2, etc...there's 7 wires total, because one of them is used for bull's eye
Implementation (time division multiplexing): send a logic pulse down each of the 10 wires in contact sheet #1 really fast, in a loop. Read as input on the rings...so, if you read that there was a single scored on the first half, just check where you sent the last pulse down -- deduct which was hit.
i dunno, i guess this is boring, but in case anybody was interested:)

you think that's much better? a fingerprint scan is just another piece of digital information that they'd have to store...
and they'd probably sell that information as well, so other services can verify your fingerprint too...
so, we're back at square one.
omg, this is getting bad... now salaries are out there...
"begin humiliation sequence..."
well.. yeah, except when it's used to protect injet cartridges... :)
are you sure? we're already there... the DMCA makes it illegal to break any kind of anti-copy scheme, doesn't it?

in anycase, this is the beginning of the end
okay, you got a point, i wasn't thinking about mp3
they can't stop everyone, but they can stop the non-geeks...
why are ir blasters so bad? mine's working great, and i'm not even pointing it at the cable box. i got a writeup on my blog:

i swear my earlier comment was a coincidence...
I wouldn't be surprised if Bush is going to appoint John Ashcroft...
"Let the eagles fly...."
jeez, that'd be truly awful..
Let's keep that number even lower by making sure the satellites fall somewhere outside the US :)
Number two... fire the laser!
this'll lead to a stable OS...
:)
of course it'll render millions of computers useless in the meantime..
It's November 5th, and here in Pennsylvania it's thundering and lightening outside...
I guess God just saw Revolutions....
