he also did a hilarious bit in an almost live skit where they parodied stereotypical microsoft employees. he played the sexually frustrated computer nerd type.
microsoft liked the sketch so much they included it on an MSDN CD. wish i could find it.
unfortunately a lot of the Almost Live humor was specific to the pacific northwest, unless you lived in vancouver/seattle/portland you probably didnt get a lot of the jokes.
i would love to see the billy kwan sketches again. and bill nye's speedwalker sketches were great.
if anyone has almost live recorded, i'd love to know about it.
microsoft distributed one of the almost live sketches on an MSDN CD, where bill nye played a sexually frustrated microsoft geek-employee. wish i could find it again.
newton's apple was cool when it was being hosted by ira flatow. it went to shit after that.

you have no idea what you're talking about. lack of x86 registers is not much of a performance constraint. main memory bandwidth is much more an issue. i've written asm on everything from register starved architectures (6502) to register rich architectures (mips).
3d gpu is not hard to emulate, especially at that low of a resolution. dual core 2d chip, apu, big whoop. mame emulates far more complex hardware easily. go take a look at the source code. it doesn't take magic to emulate.
the x86 might not be an 'elegant' architecture but it has a lot of brute force behind it. emulators require brute force.
and I never said anything about PSP emulating anything. this is about PC emulation.

a 67mhz ARM9 + 33mhz ARM7 is not a difficult thing to emulate, nor is a 256x192 pixel screen even if there are two of them.
given that mame successfully emulates far more complex hardware, I don't see emulating a DS being a problem.
...to stipulate ejecting the individual SAE members who decided that stealing the code was a good idea, and the individual SAE members who counterclaimed against the GPL software.
such people should be punished, not rewarded for their idiocy. ejecting them from the SAE would be an appropriate punishment imo.
imo that is the best way to "improve the SAE". not contributing money so they can continue more of the same.
...given that some states still have laws on the books making blasphemy a criminal offense with penalties of prison time.
of course the US isn't the only western country with such laws -- the UK has laws criminalizing blasphemy as well.
of course, up to just a few years ago there were southern states which had laws making interracial marriage a criminal offense. and when they put the repeal to a vote, a significant percentage voted to keep the bans in place.
so it's hardly suprising that fundamentalists in those states manage to block viewings of blasphemous films.
Think of it more like OS research. Lessons learned from HURD can be applied to *BSD and Linux. Some already have.
Almost everyone who has started with a "pure" microkernel design has eventually moved away from it for performance and other reasons.
Many of the problems HURD was trying to address have either become irrelevant, determined to be non-issues, or have been solved. (The same can be said of things like IA64 or SPARC).
There are still interesting ideas in HURD that deserve research. However if they intend to challenge the enormous momentum behind *BSD and Linux, HURD is going to have to offer some truly astounding functionality / killer app or few people are going to use it.

i already wrote KOMO email and followed up with a postal letter, asking about almost live.
no response.
absolutely. talk.origins is definitely harmful to minors (in utah).
this site is next in line.
utah's socially backward conservative policies are why utah has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the entire nation.
I lived in utah for 15 years. there's many reasons they call living in utah "behind the zion curtain".
the nebulous term "harmful to minors" is open to interpretation however the utah attorney general interprets on a whim.
so a site say, critical of mormonism or the AG's office could very well end up on the "harmful to minors list".
the best part? the list is secret, so you can't ever know what's on it.
such secret lists before have ended up blocking such "harmful to minors" as pro-choice and democratic party websites.
i've looked for years and never found any AL episodes on any p2p system. :-/
no torrents, no edonkey, no winmx, no nothing.
if you find any i'd love to hear about it.

Almost Live rocked.
I loved his Speed Walker sketches.
microsoft distributed one of the almost live sketches on an MSDN CD, where bill nye played a sexually frustrated microsoft geek-employee. wish i could find it again.
bill nye's science show might have been corny, but he was one of the best actors on Almost Live...
he's also on the JREF board iirc... a very serious and eloquent skeptic and writer.

I had a lynx.
Great hardware, like having a portable amiga. But it was heavy, bulky, and ate batteries like no tomorrow.
And the software selection sucked...
The best game on the lynx was probably Slimeworld. The rest were crap.
all they need to do is sieze the security camera videotapes and then "lose" them.
happens quite frequently when law enforcement does something embarassing or criminal that gets recorded on videotape. the tapes get "lost".
replying to myself as a followup... i would also accept a public apology written by each individual member of the SAE responsible for this mess.
if they refuse, then ejecting them from the SAE would be appropriate.

why? use the DMCA to destroy the system. seems right to me.

"Larry's entitled to license things under any license he wants to."
He can't license it with 'if you use BK you are forced into indentured servitude' or 'if you use BK you have to hand over your first born child'.
Sure it's his product, but it doesn't mean he can write whatever rules he wants. He can't circumvent government laws.
So no, Larry isn't entitled to license things under any license he wants to.

i wanted a case where the robber was convicted on tax evasion or 'continuing conspiracy' after the robbery statute of limitations ran out.
