Nah. Between the CompuServer/GEnie years (with GEnie's text "internet portal") and, in my case, OS/2 (which handled the internet just fine for several years), I actually ran the IBM Internet Connection Kit for Windows 3.1. It didn't lock up _very_ often.
I guess I wasn't paying attention to internet tech at the time, but if Netscape is only 10, that explains why the Connection Kit came with its own profoundly minimalist browser by today's standards.
When the bill requiring public school teachers to be homosexual atheist liberals passes.
Not that it isn't a civilized idea but added in the federal holiday almost assures Republicans have an out to vote it down on "corporate freedom" issues.
Paramount is expected to announce a new Star Trek movie unrelated to previous Star Trek characters on Monday.
That's what I mean!!!
Enterprise gets cancelled. The B5 movie falls through. _And_ the next ST movie gets announced.
THREE bad things in only a couple weeks!
Seriously. I have established cross-cultural friendships with people who _don't_ spend their vacation in full Klingon costume and I've actually taken me one or two of them fancy college film courses. Trust me. _All_ the ST movies can be lined up in a range from Sunday afternoon mall fodder down to the embarassing.
They'll let the FCC slide on a technicality, mark my words.
Probably. If not, it can always go to the Supreme Court. It's just taxpayer's money.
The new Commissioner probably won't be able to ask his dad to ask his boss to ask his friends for a ruling but it shouldn't be more than about another degree of separation.
Good moderate "Funny". As noted, Fascism has _everything_ to do with corporatism by definition.
A non-political note before I move along. This (the real) thread topic is one of the problems that Flightgear.org apparently has had for some time in getting good, free geographical data for their excellent free flight simulator. Too bad on that count.
"Just vote!" is about as deep as "Just say 'no'!" The context of the system is _everything_.
Incidentally, moving-wise, I've come to the realization that a significant percentage of Canadians live south of Washington, Montana, North Dakota, and parts of Idaho, Minnesota, Michigan, and Maine. Shouldn't be all that frightening.
Ah, a man who has obviously worked with government!
Part of a job I had in the '70s required reviewing both our state and the federal legislative Registers. Be afraid. Be very afraid. If people only knew everything that gets proposed but doesn't pass committee, or if it passes committee, fails the vote (but isn't widely reported).
Doesn't help that Congress seems especially corrupt at this moment in history. It isn't so much that the system is broken. It's working just fine for the special interests the way they want it to work.
How much diesel does it take to harvest the corn and ferment a gallon of ethanol?
As I originally saw the issue framed: not much in Brazil. You "hire" essentially slave indigenous labor to pick the corn by hand.
Who knows? Maybe that's Dubya's plan for here too. Remember to repeat: HYDROGEN IS __ONLY__ AN ENERGY STORAGE MEDIUM whenever tbe idea is brought up. Maybe slave-picked and produced ethanol to fuel the hydrgen separation has optimal environmental friendliness?
Then again, we could reevaluate our priorities and lifestyle, become deadly serious about conservation, and try not to fur the planet wall-to-wall with people.
It was a simple article so I'll throw my two cents in here after your response and second going with Zalman. I'm really happy with the fan tail heat sinks and large fans. Work well, are inherently quieter and slower fans just make a less annoying whine. Not rocket science for some significant improvement. Standard CPU fans are just nasty.
If only. Weeds so typically overtake a garden unattended and glitz trumps anything that requires refinement from the customer. That's why I said "quantity over quality". Truth be told, a great number of Mall of America stores don't even represent the best of the region. It's just a HUNKIN' LOT OF STORES IN ONE PLACE in my opinion.
I seldom get to MOA since my wife hates malls but I sort of think of it as a Babylon 5 test site -- with a Snoopy theme amusement park in the middle. (But who says the first real Babylon 1 _won't_ have a Snoopy theme amusement park in the middle?) A technie factoid of interest is that they don't heat the place in a climate that can touch -20F in the winter. Conservation and clever circulation of the heat given off by the shoppers and other waste energy. More of a challenge to cool it in the summer with venting strategies.
Since downloads.microsoft.com seems to be down right now, I don't know whether it would work with win4lin. But it is an interesting question since Active X is imperfectly supported by win4lin even though it runs an actual Windows.
On the other hand, not likely to be a lot of recent updates to Windows 95.
Considering the Chinese didn't have very good luck stopping the opium trade with crucifixion, it looks like the RIAA will have to spend big money on Congress now to get some _really_ tough penalties in force.
Read the series of "Bester books". They killed. The additional depth really linked to Koenig's excellent performances. I think of Koenig as Bester now -- which might make it a transition to see him back in the Trek universe.
But the life of Bester would be a cool 1/2 - 1 season mini-series.:)
Agreed. Google is "ask the genie". But usenet is where you have a serious ongoing conversation.
I guess it depends on the ISPs target market and your needs. I would never use an ISP without usenet and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with a tech interest in particular.
But for the cheapie ISPs? Grandma wants web and mail for $6/month? How is an ISP going to do that and be full service? Doubly smart for cheapie ISPs in poor "red state" markets. Porn? Never! Not on our servers, praise Jesus!
If usenet died, that would be one thing. But I don't have any problem with multi-tier marketing of ISPs.
Yes, but why is it _news_? Cheapbytes learned they better call their disks "pink tie" years ago.
Heh, heh. Although going to the site I see they have back-slid to calling it a "(Red Hat 10 Workalike)" instead of a "clone of that well-known wearing apparel". So they might get another call too.
That's why I voted for Nader. I've had four years to see how wrong that idea was.
Yes, Clinton was a Corporate Republican (TM) in many ways. One reason I didn't vote for him was the story about how Governor Clinton let Purdue Chicken turn an Arkansas river into, as the Fugs sung about the Mississippi, a "River of Shit".
But, no. I honestly believe, with history and political science B.A.s, that there has never been a worse presidency than W. Not Harding. Not Benjamin Harrison, Not Grant. Not John Tyler. This really is a fascist cult falling down the rabbit hole. Imagine where we would be if we had a president who never smoked or drank on principle and could speak coherently without a teleprompter like Hitler. Instead of a not very bright narcissistic dry-drunk spoiled rich kid cocooned in his "happy place" bubble. We lucked out there. But if Clinton and Gore were sliding down the fascist slope, Bush embraces it with apocalyptic joy and that is a difference. Since the odds are against me having a handful of decades left, personally I would have much preferred a slow decay than a headlong gallop into madness.
And, sadly, it doesn't look like the trains will run at all if Bush has anything to say about it.
MySQL and PostgreSQL can both be set up with an ODBC connection locally or remotely to OpenOffice where simple db functions can be performed within the suite similar to an Access/Office link. Or go whole hog with an open source DB server and an ODBC link to Windows Office desktops. I understand Oxford U is planning to phase out their proprietary DBs for PostgreSQL over the course of this year.

According to the sources in the story, both Sony and Philips may take the case to court, rather than continuing negotiation.
Ooooh, that'll stop them. Microsoft must be quaking in their shoes over the thought of going to court.

B5, no. ST, yes. Fate, where is thy justice?
Installation and maintenance would be a bitch. But there's probably a SysAdmin somewhere who would trade for the job.
I definately find myself wishing she were still a womanizer.
I figure about season 4. Lesbos must be lurking somewhere in that whole Greek thing.

Fascism has zero to do with corporations.

Sadly, yes. Always remember that
1. Hitler was fairly and democratically elected.
2. People voted in Stalinist USSR

Phone books are one way to supplement geneology. One of my great-great grandfathers had a home phone in the 1890s.
I mean, really. What percentage of my software is still version 0.xxxxx?
You mean the whitehouse isn't really a man-on-man porn site catering to the military trade?
