Try an experiment. Hold your hand against the side of your face for a long time. Does it get hot? If it does, that must mean your hand is radioactive! Considering what you normally use that hand for, expect your "family jewels" to fall off shortly.
Here's a fun experiment. Take a refrigerator magnet and hold it up to your CRT. Is there any distortion?
OH MY GOD!!! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!! REFGRIERATOR MAGNETS ARE GIVING US BRAIN TUMORS!!! Because of that crayon drawing of Godzilla stuck to the fridge, Billy's mama is going to die!!!!
I'll bet all seven of those brain tumor cases have magnets stuck to their fridge! That absolutely proves it.
I keep hearing that micro-kernals are the way to go, but nobody ever seems to be able to get one finished enough to actually try.
Look at Gnu Hurd, which was started long before the original Linux 0.01 was begun. It has apparentry still not produced a kernal usable enough to build a distribution around. Not everyone starts out as a kernal hacker, but without any working examples to play with and learn from, you aren't going to breed any micro-kernal hackers either.
Re-writing Linux to be a micro-kernal is the wrong way to do it. Linux was designed from the ground up as a monolithic kernal, and changing it to a micro-kernal would involve a total re-write to do it properly. You might as well start from scratch, with a clean micro-kernal design. The only thing you would lose is the magic "Linux" name.
If you want to argue the micro-kernal issue, then get one of the existing micro-kernal projects, like Hurd, finished enough to base a small distribution around (i.e. to a Linux 1.0 level). At that point, it should be easy to attract others in expanding its usefulness.
It just looks like standard MicroSoft practices here, just occurring faster than normal. It usually takes a whole month before they start screwing them over.
I don't know why anyone would want to be "affiliated" with MicroSoft, considering their history. Their usual tactic is announce an "affiliation", get into the company, steal all the intresting IP they can, then screw the hell out of them.
Microsoft joins forces with one company to screw everyone else, and after that occurs, Microsoft procedes to screw that company.
Result: lots of debree, many unhappy customers, Microsoft's version is a stagnating pool of buggy crap; but with nobody else in the game, Microsoft wins!
If the spammers are upset enough to generate such a threatining email, then it sounds to me like it must be very effective. If it wasn't seriously cutting into their bottom line, then they wouldn't be this upset.
Plus, I like the fact that the spammers are getting their email bombed into uselessness. Maybe they will begin to understand how we normal people feel about their crap.
Does anyone know if FF2 will have the ability to block 3rd party javascript includes?
Why should Final Fantasy 2, which only runs on the NES, have anything to do with javascript? It came out long before javascript was even a gleam in the eye of it's designers.
And I thought the slashdot left-wing groupthink was a myth... I literally got modded down for asking for a link for evidence so I could read about the torture, murder, and revocation of citizenship by the American government to American citizens on my own, instead of taking the word of some slashbot.
So much for "facts".
Hay, give them a little time.
They are having problems getting the signitures "just right" on those existing documents. Oh, and fixing the dates on the letterheads. The originals will soon be available, in Microsoft Word Vista format, signed by Ronald Reagon himself.
I'll bet you I could. Albertsons sells 70% isopropyl, and I bet that I could buy a bottle of that and give it to a pre-teen. In front of a policeman, even.
"[you cannot] drive a car around without a license"
Wanna bet? Just let me grab a random (unlicensed) teenager off the street, and I'll bet they could drive a car. Maybe not legally, but they would still be able to do it.
Summary: lots of posts not making any sense and most of them using some off-topic reason for not doing anything.
in other words: "I'm not intrested in any facts, I've developed a political/religious position, I hate America, and I'm not listening to you. Laa laa laaa laa, I can't hear you".
And the Volcanoes do not add anywhere near the sum of coal fired plants in few near
Are you sure? One volcano dumped a metric buttload of ash into the air in one single eruption (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krakatau). There is usually more than one eruption per volcano, and more than one volcano active at a time. You should be taking the total worldwide volcano output and not individual eruptions.
If you want to take volcano's one at a time instead of worldwide, then you should also compare human causes one at a time, too. i.e you should compare the singular George Jetson's Thunderbolt Grease-slapper against the total global polution generated. That's just as useful, unless you are only intrested in making a political rant.
And wasn't there another study that showed that cows produce 40% of the greenhouse gasses in their farts? Shouldn't you be concentrating on wiping out cows, instead of cars.
Ok, within one degree, what was the temperature of Miami, Florida on April 7th, 223 B.C. at 12:00 Noon? That is well with 3 millenia (or are you using plural for a singular quantity?).
If you can't give me that, then don't claim that you have data good enough to do accurate modeling over millenia. If you can't get data accurate to less than one annual approximation point, then I don't have faith in your computer model for that time.
According to some of the judges, you can apply any foreign laws that you want in the United States. Old, new, it doesn't matter, as long as you can use them against G.W. Bush.
Don't forget to replace the radio while you are at it. I doubt that the one currently in the Hubble is designed to talk to anything except specific communication satelites.
I expect in the near future, after you buy a CD, you will need to connect to an internet site, and pay a fee, each and every time you want to listen to a song on that CD. No more play as often as you want after buying the CD. Fees will be higher if you have better equipment. Audible static will be added to make it harder to pirate. And if more than one persion *might* be listening, you will need to pay a higher fee (i.e. if you don't use headphones). You will also need to pay to be able to listen to the radio. "Free" music will not be playable on any new hardware. And it will all be done retroactivally.

at least half the driving population of the United States is unable to utilize that technology consistently.
I find it's use fairly consistant with the older population. Right turn signal on, always.

Could it have anything to do with this?

It was going to be called poo, but then they decided they'd rather be number one.
They are hoping you will buy two, so that they can be number one (wii-wii).
How can you tell? They both did so many "time travel" versions, that they probably have kids over a 10,000 year time range.
So now the virus works across the borad.
What's a borad? Anything like a beowulf cluster?

Since we know our supplies of fossil fuels are reaching depletion,
Yes, I remember being told in grade school that we only have 10 years of oil left. That was about 25 years ago.
Amazing how accurate that prediction still is. We still have only 10 years of oil left.
...and based on data that goes back for millenia.
