Then, for some reason or another, the universe just started expanding, and is pretty big now.
I nominate you for "understatement of the year".
Presumably, if we could see far enough away to see far enough back in time, we would be able to observe the BB.
How would this be possible? Isn't all the light from the BB traveling AWAY from us? Assuming that the big bang comprised all the matter in the universe, there would be nothing for the light to bounce off so it should still be unhindered on its initial vector.
The Jews are telling me YOU're going to hell for worshipping false prophets. The Muslims tell me your religion ignores the 5 pillars which were handed down by God (They call him Allah -- potayto, potahto) so they pretty much think you're gonna burn too. The Mormons' say you're ignoring the 3rd Testament of Jesus which I'm sure is gonna at least get you a few million years in Purgatory.
Decisions, decisions. Maybe Shinto; that sounds nice.
Nationally, it's an oligopoly, but in to any particular customer/metro area it's a monopoly... unless they're allowing 2 companies to coexist on the same poles in certain places now.
I have trouble justifying the $60/month for a cable modem, and I'm online all the time. Most of my family and friends that do not have broadband claim it is far too expensive. Period.
Most people that do not have indoor plubming also claim that it is far too expensive.
yeah, except that with each purchase of a $200k house you get... A FREAKIN $200k HOUSE!
Ahem.
Having said that, I have cable access, but I'd rather have cheaper access and more choices. But that's because I'm a greedy bastard... But hey, that's capitalism at work!
Remember that embedded linux is another way of saying' Linux that people don't know they're using'.
This would be an interesting comment if it weren't completely wrong.
The majority of the "embedded" space from which the Kompany makes its license sales is the Zaurus 5x00 line of PDAs. I'd wager that over 99% of Zaurus users are aware they're running Linux, as it's touted all over the box.
Gordon even mentions the 5500 by name, almost seeming to plug it.
Tabbed browsing rocks the house, except for that painful adjustment period where you're finished with one site so you close the window, then realize you had 5 other sites in other tabs that you just closed.
Gives you a feeling akin to realizing you left your keys in the car just as you let go of the car door. Not quite as bad, but annoying.
Based on my corpus, "sex" indicates a.97 probability of the containing email being a spam, whereas "sexy" indicates.99 probability. And Bayes' Rule, equally unambiguous, says that an email containing both words would, in the (unlikely) absence of any other evidence, have a 99.97% chance of being a spam.
The RIAA is attempting to use legislation as a smoke-and-mirrors tactic to keep people from reconizing the fact that technology should have made them (and the big Labels they represent) completely irrelevant by now.
How much does the artist actually receive after the "Label" takes their cuts? I'm too lazy to look it up, but I recall it averages out to be a paltry sum unless you're already an established hit-maker.
Musicians could be selling music directly over the internet, by now, except that the modus operandi has become to 'steal' it if you want to get it via the internet, since people are used to their only option being trudging to the store for the $16.99 cd.
Music stores should be more like kiosks, or maybe lounges where people can choose music to listen to, and then choose what they want to buy. The CD is burned and the cover art is printed on the spot. No distribution costs. No overhead. No returns of 'no-sales'.
Ask yourself why this natural evolution of technology and the free market hasn't happened.
I agree. I'm very suspicious of this number. In fact I bet if they used the absolute maximum bandwidth legally consumable per their agreement as a basis, they'd find that the "perps" used maybe 2x, maybe 3x that amount. That should cost them 2x or 3x what they're normally paying per month.
That being said, ALL YOU FREAKING BANDWITH HOGS ON MILENNIUM CABLE IN MARYLAND STOP USING UP MY FREAKING BANDWIDTH!
Interesting to note, this isn't the first time people have attempted to use the popularity of.mp3 to hijack and "embrace and extend" the.mp4 extension. But I'm too lazy to cite examples. Anyone?

Slashdot Mirror
Slashdot is the one forum where you're not supposed to make scientists the butt of jokes!!
It's sort of similar to the NYPD/NYFD in any OTHER forum.

How hard can it be to program AI to camp with an AWP?
Monopoly/oligopoly depends on scope.

Once you have it you can never go back. Never.

Obviously, the author just isn't sexy.

It WOULD double every hundred days if they didn't cap the damn cable modems!
I wonder if this will help TiVo and ReplyTV gain 'legitimacy'?"
I wonder if it will help put them out of 'business'.
Microsoft? Not hacker-friendly? What is this world coming to?
Next thing you know they'll start mucking around with standards and protocols!

1. Crank up the resolution on your monitor (1600x1200 is nice)
2. Crank up the font size in your browser
Enjoy large, readable text with smaller graphics!
