I was very excited when I first heard about the VR3 and was going to buy one as soon as it was released... untill I read more information about it. It lacks in storage space and RAM compared to other PDA's and has utilities that you can get from the net, like mp3 player, but no room to actually put them to use unless you map to the RAM which is always a bad idea.
Thats nice, but it doesn't mean the end of GCC. Besides the fact that GCC is the offical gnu compiler it also works great. A littl eextra speed is nice, but working across platforms with the same compiler is much nicer.
I am very happy to see that they are planning to bring it out on Linux as well! I am going to buy it just for that reason and hope that it is a good game.
If no one knows what they are not supose to see than anyone can see something that can land them in jail. It sounds like an easy way to get someone that they have no concrete evidence on (kind of like the American secrete government evidence).
If there is one thing to remember it is the fact that Red Hat has kept most (if not all) of it's efforts within the Open Source community. They also pay Alan Cox for his work on the kernel. If AOL/TW purchases Red Hat then we *MIGHT* loose a portion of our development but there is a good chance that Mandrake, SuSE, Turbo, Slackware, etc... might pick up the developers and thats one of the great things about OSS and developing OSS.
Really, if you think about the companies ideals and what they have been doing it seems like this is more like a casual what if talk and not a plea for purchase.
Why not? It follows the basis of Open Source Software in that anyone can build off/with the code. The same thing has been done for programming. There are many languages out there that cater to diffrent groups and ideals but they all do one thing in common, let anyone willing to learn a little bit know how to make their own programs.
I've been using 2.4 since the initial release and haven't had any problems with it. I never used the 'problem' versions of 2.4, but I have used most of the releases without a hitch.
Many corporations and home users use MS Office XX and force the rest of us to either get programs to view the information or get the actual program itself. Those of us in the FSF community might want to start sending our attachments out in an open standard and force peopel to use readers to read our documents from email. It seems a little sly but it might get open document standards a push that it can really use.
I really liked the TV show. I am in the 'college crowd' so I like dry ramen as well. I think that if it got a better time slot, a little more money put into it and some advertisements it would have taken off. This kind of reminds me of Brisco Country Jr. Wasn't around for very long but people did like it.
A good amount of Linux distros and other BSD's have also shipped with NeXTish interfaces for years. It seems that this is just supose to be a super simple distrobution that uses only GNUstep.
There is a sacrifice in the fact that the machinery costs a good amount of money. Chances are, the more money put into the machines the better chance they have of winning. In a capatilistic society it poses a large threat. Most people don't like high/new taxes or imports/export taxes on goods they buy/sell just to fund a war that is over something that is kind of meaningless.
They also use a form of it in Orlandos 'Church Street Station.' It attempts to figure out what your doing somehow. It's quite funny to see people get arested for hugging or kissing since it sometimes dispatches the police for mugging or rape.
This has been going on for a while now. My university has it's CS/CE students write code for major corporations for their junior or senior projects. Some people have said that there is nothing wrong with it seeing that it's just another way to keep universities open and provide good education, but there are many other areas that are exploited, For instance, space is given to the highest bidder in hallways and in open areas to seel items. Companies like Victoria Secret, Verizon, and Jarred Jewlers attempt to catch your eye while getting into your class. I really wish that I could learn for the sake of learning and not be 'tempted' by buisnesss men and marketers in my own state university.
In my opinion, OOP is only good in large scale yet generic problems. I've seen many people do C/C++ combonations where they filled in C++ gaps with their own C code.
Maybe another way to look at it is to use what you know. It seems like a good amount of engineering students use fortran or pascel to do their engineering work in. As a computer science guy I hardly ever see fortran or pascel when doing my work (school or job), but it boils down to the fact that it works and thats whats important.
I have Verizon as my local phone company, long distance phone company, wireless company, and probably other things that I am not aware of yet. Recently I had a problem with my cell phone (over billing) and called to cancel the service because of it. As it turns out, they refused to cancel it because they think I have a 2 year plan (keyword is think). They are not sure though since they can not read the paperwork and the carbon copy of it is almost blank.
Besides that anoying problem they also call about once a day to try to sell a new plan or upgrade my existing lines etc...
If thats not enough, I find lots of other companies that are 'friends' ov Verizon calling trying to sell me new phones, caller ID boxes, computers, etc...
What if someone wants to track a friend or girlfriend? What if someone wants to stick a hitman on someone? What if a thug is looking for a good money target? Tracking won't take a well skilled officer or thug anymore, it will take a mad 15 year old kid with internet access browsing texts. Just as with anything technical, I am sure it will be hackable to do other things it shouldn't do.
It's sad that there is something wrong with people playing a CD in a DVD player or a computer.
As for people still ripping mp3's and ogg's of course it will still happen. I have a mixer, cdplayer, cables and other misc stuff to record wav's to convert to mp3's. It's that simple.
It's actually very sad when a government is alsmot at war with it's citizens. They'll catch tons of pass phrases in order to get 5 they really need. All I can say is I really hope that it isn't ported to Linux or BSD.
[i]So are they "cold hearted" because they're not religious or because they're coming up with new ways to save lives?
[/i]
Thats kind of a mean one-sided remark. Many scientists don't have the freedom to spend their time trying to help save lives since most of their time is spent working for a company who just wants money.
The idea of a hybrid human animal upsets me. What if we trap human minds in an animals body in the process-can't talk, little communication, etc... That would be one of the most tragic things ever done.
As with any tool, cloning can be used in both good and bad light: It can help a person by cloning/growing a replacement organ - or, in contrast, it can be used for part farms where you can buy the cloned part you need (organ legging is problem enough...).
By the waym bet you didn't know that some scientists have used bio waste (forskin, dead babies, etc) for clonning. I learned that from the Discovery Channel.
People fear what they don't understand. Security isn't something that the average user thinks about untill they lose a credit card or so.
Hackers have a bad reputation mainly because of the media, but Linus isn't evil, the creators of Slashdot are not evil, Alan Cox isn't evil, etc... and they are all hackers. Usually hacker is used for security coders/auditors but isn't just bound to that.
This kind of leads me to wonder if it isn't ok to hack (test your security, create security based aplications, etc...) but it is ok to crack.

Of course they pick the month with the fewest days to work on bug fixes.

Is there any way the community can save Loki from it's end? Donations? Game purchases?

Arn't they inocent untill proven guilty? If not then we Americans are a bit unfair with our dealings with others.
This is a good thing. Not only would there be a settlement, but there would be kids and schools benifiting and using Open Source software.
... my Mom can use it, my Grandmother can use it, my kid sister san use it, why couldn't someone else?
As for some people saying kids can't use Linux
