I remember an artical on/. about the blocking of Asian emails (mostly b/c of spam), and this mentions a Singapore-based magazine. Is it really time to consider the firewalling of certain asian email though we have to remember that many western businesses do business w/ eastern companies. If we let some isps through spammers will just route through them.
Why do you never see any Sci-fi shows about what the near future could really be like (sure a virus COULD wipe out humanity)? Something based on the book snowcrash would be pretty cool.
more to feed the machine that is the chinese government. Its pretty sad how much they isolate themseves on the tech front. While the DMCA is bad enough this (great firewall of china, this, ect) is much worse.
Reminds me of a simpsons ep i saw a few days ago, marges old boy friend is now a millionare b/c he invented a modem that converts the old analog squeeks into easy listening music.
Shouldn't be too hard to write a mod for your CDROM to read these discs
From what i understand your cdrom can still play them, there would only be a loss in quality when you copy the cd.
I agree. Computers shouldn't be part of school for your average kindergardener, but they school be used somewhat in elementary school. We live in a world of computers so our children school be cofortable around them. Im in the 8th grade at a school with a wireless lan and a T1 (wireless for laptops that the school has in carts for each building/floor). At my point and more in the grades above me, computers are needed to write papers and what not. But before that they are worse then usless at times. A few years ago a teacher of mine decided to do a little teaching on computers. He told the class that the "computer" (box, machine, whatever) was the CPU, and explained other stuff completly wrong, luckly i knew better. Yet this year our admin is doing an A+ class for middle school and highschool. What it comes down to is, no puter until your need it.
I'm not so sure how i feel about something i own being used for something i don't. I use seti, but i downloaded it myself and agree with its purpose. But whose to say what my computer will be used for, whose to say what files will fill up my hd, ect. Luckly we still have a choice of the OS we want to run.
This is what we need in this slump, if people stoped thinking of only themselves and sharing their work we can have an even greater economy. Also, how do companies like Red hat and OSDN stay slovent, or as you say it, "put food on the table"
Personally i don't understand how robots could overtake our race. Unless they have emotions they aren't going to do anything they aren't programed to do. Or has your AIBO tried to enslave you lately?
It might just be the economy/state of mind of the people right now. Who knows what dubjah will do tomorow. Stores don't want to sell to cheaply right now b/c of the small economic drop we had a little while ago. The US economy has been going up since what? 94 or something like this. Little drops prevent the big ones.
Since AOL is in a "user-friendly" rivalry with Microsoft i think they will use linux in a few ways.
embeded linux for handheld emailing
linux on internet pcs
The "problem", well for AOL atleat, is that they can't decide what OS the user has. Since the average AOLer uses windows they can't make much of a difference there. What they could do though is along with redhat make a new side distro or whatever you want to call it that mimics windows in use and setup. This is though a double edged sword, sure this could help take a piece of the OS pie from MS, but it could also led to the downfall of redhat.
You might want to take into consideration what the atomic bomb has done. If we keep on going like we are we might as well stand next to our enemy and the both of you can hold guns to each others head. We are getting to the point were we will kill our race unless we make some drastic changes. Lets use this for good not evil. And what if a despot/terrorist got his hands on one of these, we'd have a grand ole time with the unbeatable man.
goal = everyone must run linux? Face it, the OS world isn't black and white. I don't think we should get any OS on top, be it windows or linux. Lets find a happy medium and mix some other OSes in there.
First off, who gets a free government computer?
I take it that if you already have one you don't get a second. Second, does this computer belong to whomever it was given to, as a "gift"? Does the government have the right to take it back, will the users be alowed to change anything, format, upgrade?
And what real world skills do you have, other then acting like a billy badass. I run linux, im not a huge fan but i like it plenty. But linux is not a toy operating system. Its free so it costs less for a biz. Its stable (say for servers) its good for development.. err programmers. Must i say more?

What i wonder is if this will change people's minds on buying War Craft III
This makes no sense.. First the Ozone hole disapears.. then the water leval rises? Personally i think most of this is rather humorus.

What? and you don't post my story on the keyless keyboard?
I thought windows let people copy dos, i thought they released the patent? But i highly doubt that they made it open.

Isn't copying it just coping all the bits.. now how can you lose bits when your copying them? hmmmpf?

Who does get to know about what is going on in court. This type of trial should be public, mostly b/c of MS's history.
Yar ho ho, maybe i can use it to hide my Mp3/divx booty! X marks the spot. Kinda wierd how history repeats itself (in a way)

Great now we have even more power over our "foes". Can't we find a better use.
Run..Its cyborg godzilla!!

does that mean that there is some chance of getting my atari 1400ST running apache?
