Well I think replicator is a total misnomer. I am pretty sure that in this case the engineer involved drew up a 3D rendering of the part he wanted including any microstructure (he could have made it hollow if he wanted). I mean it's not like this thing scanned in the broken pulley and made a replica based on the scan. Now I know they can do this (someone mentioned a Godzirra) and I saw on Beyond 2000 (10 years ago) how this thing was used in surgery. A guy had his skull smashed to bits in an accident. They did an MRI and built a model of his skull including the broken bits. This enabled the surgeons to examine the fragments and figure the best way to put them back together (of course this was before they operated). I thought that was a way cooler implementation and closer to a true replicator.
never played it but I always thought it was a cool idea to be a dolphin. "Echo the Dolphin" I believe is the name of the game. I don't think it is violent but there may be some shark killing involved. Oh and Tetris. I have never hurt anyone while I was in a Tetris dream. I also liked Oilcap - the one where you have to be a plumber and stop the oil from spilling.
The big difference is that Office is only for Mac and Windows. StarOffice is on Solaris and Linux and others as we all know. So as far as I am concerned it certainly has a chance to go ahead of MS in this respect. I also think most people who use Office can use StarOffice easily. So it's an easy migration. Especially for the tight-fisted boss or the home-user.
I confess I have a big box of shit that would be great if put together and helped make my life better in some way... iopeners, palm vii, wireless stuff, CDRs etc
I'd really like to find a reason to put it together and make someone happy. But not sure where to start.
These guys have been putting together old PCs and handing them over to people in need. Wish I had their energy.
case in point, the crackdown on code-red spreading windows2k servers. Only when the servers on their network were going nuts did the cable providers do anything about it. (block port 80 big deal)
well, for 40/1000 the bandwidth I think I get what I pay for. Do you think they can really tell that you are sharing your connection? How can they know? From my high bandwidth usage? Prove it.
Does anyone care that Google doesn't allow any phrase matches? I think that sucks. Yahoo has allowed that from way back. Other engines do too. Or am I wrong?

Well, I told the people where I work to go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com to get patches for the worm (jul 19) and they were greeted with "Hacked By Chinese".
We all know that now but after they downloaded all the recommended patches, the virus came back. Turns out you can't trust that site at all. It didn't recommend the patch that was needed. It didn't even recommend the SP2 for win2k.
why the hell don't these friggin huge ISP's hire someone who will disallow port 80 access by default? And 21. And 135/9. Are we living in a civilized society? Are they letting the inmates run the asylum? It's pretty frickin obvious that they are the reason for spread of the viruses. And all you @home/RR website runners can bite me. Go pay for your bandwidth and stop using mine. Besides, if you really have something to offer on your site then how about port 81? How'd that be? I'm sure you could rise above these NT/2K spastics who don't know what the hell they are running and just change ports.

I think this is really fun. Of course I am not an ISP or anything. Anyway, I am looking forward to a nice DDOS of whitehouse.gov this time around. That'd be fun wouldn't it? This is some nice distributed computing:) Has there ever been a virus so widespread as Code Red X ? Is this going to be the future of virus writing? Imagine something similar being written for routers? By the way, is it possible to write a virus that can't be decoded by the spoilers over at Eeye and all you old programmers out there? Would it be possible for someone to put one together that noone know what it was going to do until it did it?
It was just surreal to see this dufus talking about this subject. There is no point to it. Why don't they just make him a crown and let him play polo with Prince Charles? Such a waste of taxpayers' money to have a president. I suppose most people need a face on their government that they forgot to vote for anyway. Was anyone else asking themselves do we need a president to come on the TV (interrupting Big Brother 2), explain stem cells and then tell us whether we can have them or not? Makes me puke.
could anyone believe we were listening to this stupid Texan talking about biology like he knew anything about it?
Can you believe there had to be a fscking presidential address about this issue?
Does anyone really believe he made a decision all by himself?
I don't.

this is certainly a good point. And who needs 2 toolbars in Windows? Stewpid.

Not as good as an etch-a-sketch however.
