While people here are jobless or loose their jobs Corporate types are eating their steaks.. sipping chanpagne.. you think they care ? Of course not... they cant afford to.They have limos to fuel..IF instead of giving more power to corps we were making them accountable to a decency index ( obviously Nike would have a hard time at that table ) and that there were strict guidelines like this one : You cant hire people out of the country for a salary less than the one you would have to pay an adult here to do the job... well then i beleive the problem would solve itself.. but as long as Corporate America is allowed be what it is today, pure greed and no sense of morale it's just as well we call America the refuge for the greedy the indecent and the People of little conscience but a few large wallets. Sincerely.. i wish there was a law to make hiring or opening shops overseas or out of borders that would make things even for workers everywhere.. but who said we live in a world where Corporate America is just and decent.
Simple..when you first open netscape it could ask.. Example.. We aggregate data from your searches for marketing research purposes.Do you want to participate ? Y N
Simple.. people who'd say yes would ex be entered in some sweepstake to win a cd version of the app..
It would stink as a prize but i guess you get the drift.
Novelty is just novelty. It has no business in mission critical machines. The race for bleeding edge, the latest is just a game for teens.Yes it's new.. so what ? Has it been thoroughly tested ? no Is it safe to use ? no
So if you have a test machine . go for it. If you have a computer, stick to the kernel available from your distro's disks and updates.
Well i been doing this for over a year now.Sending a letter in which you state rightfully that spam is costing you time,bandwidth and is annoying,not to mention unsollicited.There are examples of this letter on the net.And after sending the letter
to a spammer, well i never heard anything from
then ever again.So it would be nice collecting them and a pleasure,but didnt collaborate in my get rich quick scheme.. a pity.
They never represented the artists..it's the Recording industry they represent.
They never had the artists interrest in mind.
I said it all along , when the artist will have t he technology to get rid of then they will not cry .
Whe recording his last album a friend of mine
and i were deraming of getting rid of them,by having a server,the music fan at the other end a cd burner and some place to swipe a card in.MAJOR recording artists are lucky to get a dollar for every record they sell..We were dreaming of selling direct to consumer for a dollar...

Sounds like they are trying to rip off every project..thyis is grand treason
Trying to get the developper to hand everything out to them on a platter then having them turn around and sell your work without you having any benifit in it..Time to leave SF and get ALL projects elsewhere..
This is an attempt at robbing all the work everyone has done !
Simple before you mold the CPU you add INSIDE the chip casing itself a small array of liquid carrying tubes.With two small adapters
for hoses.Yup directly in the cpu casing.
just plug the chip in it's socket..connect a few hoses and there you go.
people will ask how to fill the cpu
how to keep a filled cpu from dripping all over the place when removed etc..
One way valves and connectors anyone ?
Im a Quebecer.. real french canadian...
I might have found this offensive but im
more amused at your lack of knowledge of the Quebecois
In fact the now world famous swearing of my people is way overrated tabarnac.
If you think,hostie,that we swear,ciboire
every other criss of word,calisse..i mean
Ok maybe but stil a dictionary is a dictionary and cuss words are cuss words and should be in there,for these words are all religious in nature and describe objects
used by the catholic cult for it's ceremonies. So i guess we're safe.
Now,saint ciboire de calisse de tabarnac
let's leave this criss of subject alone.
When you remove words from the dictionary
you really start to try to have control over the thoughts of people.
I beleive it's called Big Brother and
mind control.
I feel sorry for the people stuck with Microsoft products and have no way out of this inferno.
Noone can recommend Microsoft products where high security and reliability are concerned.
This is not serious.
In no mission critical service can a single Microsoft product be relied on .
MS can probably be used at home,for personal amusement,or curiosity,but that's where it ends.
Just goes to show how software patents
are incredibly ridiculous.
Maybe adding two numbers in binary will be patented one day...( if not already )
If you sense a touch of irony in my writing you are right.You cant really patent things like software without creating great harm.Two
pwoplw might do the same thing,but doing them differently.Instead of patents id like to
see the market place decide what's good and not.The hell with software patents.
They just slow down the progress in technology.
Sure if you dont let em in..they cant touch you..A firewall is just that !
Of course once a connection is established to them they pretty much can do whatever they want...but that's the price to pay if you want to use Microsoft products..
Which i will never again..and havent for the past year...i survive pretty well too.
In fact my mental health has improved lots..
Thanks to this individual a million times
As soon as i read the title..here i was downloading the thing.
DRM is out of control and i agree. it's time
this nonsense gets regulated not by industry but by informed government officials and consumers.

MIDI is a most important tool for composers
Yeah i know if you use a sound card in a comp the sound stinls.But that's not what it's for either.Normally the sequencer is but a part of the whole.Samplers,keyboards and up to date drum machines are plugged in and produce very realistic sound.Enough for the composer to
make a classic symphony at home and to know what it sounds before he's with the whole orchestra for the first repetition.
A m shame such an important tool wasn't known Then should the community be more verbose and go..." new cool app...check it out.. "
They had a lunatic one day cutting guy wires off a microwave tower in the middle of toronto montreal and ottawa.. was fun i rebuilt that one. All traffic rerouted through the USA for 4 days..
Point is can we securise against madness ?
From experience in the feild i can talk and give a primer.First thing.A telco's equipment
is not something fragile.Quality is all along the way.From the bolts holding the racks,to the last wire,everything is in a class by itself.
Buildings are specially chosen and built.You will never find equipment in a basement.Wiring comig in the building yes,but no equipment.Most buildings are rated for cat 5 hurricane.this means that under normal operation the equipment is safe from natural disasters.Backup batteries and generators are a rule.On generators and batteries.It is to be noted that after major blackouts many sites have gone from batteries to generators.This also insures the network against example, a power line being cut, a pole broken etc.As to the network itself even a redundant one is not immune at all.
A small example is Bell Canada ( worked on this so i know what went on.. ) A farmer was convinced there was evil coming from the radio tower.Gets a torch and cuts the guys holding the tower.Said tower is between Montreal Toronto and Ottawa.Nothing is getting through between these important Canadian cities.Only way out:reroute the traffic through the USA. This has been a lesson.The weakest point was not power a receiver or even natural disaster.The disaster in this case was a farmer..
Same for any installation applies.Whether we talk about cables towers ( cell and microwave ) or o.f. networks..you can add all you want.the circuits are never safe.
I can get a backhoe near a train track and not even a foot down get a few optical fibers and cut them off. The telcos have not planned against madness.they have planned
to be immune to weather problems.
Point 2. Telco's are making massive investments to get their networks as safe as possible , ans ar reliable as possible
while trying to offer you a service at a reasonable price. Everytime a choice has to be made,it's going towards quality and reliability. Not against madness or war.
If the buildings and every line had to be encased in concrete you would shout murder at your next bill.
Under the circumstances ( i seen the photo of Verizon's install...nice mess of broken cables trays etc...lmao id like to have redone those..) did extremely well.They have also learned a lesson that every telco
wished they never have.Madness is something they cant control.They can lock doors,use security cameras put guards at the entrances,put equipment in different locations,avoid concentration etc..but they can do nothing against madmen.For pete's
sake.We're talking about two airplanes crashing in towers and bringning em down...
This has been extraordinary times.
Rethinking the telco's ? i dont think so.
Rethinking what we do to prevent this ? sure but it all starts with one simple
idea.What can we do to insure peace ?
We can demand from the telcos many things.
Network security is one.But they already have that.Security against madmen ?
Nothing is safe from them.
Put a feet of concrete they'll use a loader.
Put two..a bomb.
Nope Telcos did well up to now.
I tip my hat to them in fact.
Why use Windows and win compatible products
to start with..
If you really care about computing Linux
is a way better choice in my opinion..At least when you buy a CD it's yours...and not theirs...Windows dont you incontrol of your own machine.they want you to pay for a machine they control with content they appreve and anything else on the planet outlawed.
Microsoft should be reduced to ashes as a terrorist organisation using terrorist tactics against it's customers,dismanteled and closed forever.
When the bill was introduced.. i really thought this could be to the users advantage.
I am more convinced now than ever.See the fact that one is not allowed to cause damage,might be in our favor.The companies that track us,plant spying software etc can be held responsible for terrorism... before long we will see test cases of supposedly legit companies brought to justice for this type of action.The act might help us along.As for the RIAA see in their threats their fear of technology.When time comes artists wont need them anymore.They will be obsolete soon and they try to make the most money while they still are alive.
The end is near for their industry and they know it.
Simple..before you jump into a project that is
i the hands of a company you ask them for a written agreement.
A signature on a document can prevent this type
of happening.With a written agreement in which
it says if the project is becoming closed source that as a programmer you're entitled to
a percentage relative to the amount of code you did. Or a fixed rate a line of code..

Were the creators of Sesame Street actually

Were these two imstruments of clever manipulators ?
The reasoning is good.
Middle men are there to make money.
Same in audio/video.The companies that are there
to print the record and sell it make a fortune but the artist is comparatively not.
Middle men in the information age is a nuisance.
Many years ago i had in mind that the artists
should each have a comp a good connection and sell their stuff directly to the user.CD burners are meant to burn cd's/../
What would be better than have the user swipe
a card on his kb download the media and burn to cd directly ?
Goodbye middle men...
Some say im dreaming..but the technology is
close at hand to enable this to be a reality.
Five fingers...binary code...
a is the thumb then you move to the lil finger... you got all the alphabet in with just one hand..
With suitable finger "sleeves" you could type anywhere, leg even the steering wheel.
On a hands free cell , like good common sense indicates to use in a car, this can be a real practical solution.
Try to type the alphabet in binary with the tip of your fingers....works..
with a bit of practice this has potential.
You forgot the important LaCrosse satellites that are up there doing a lot of the electronic surveillance work...What's better than to have a
nice satellite up there listening in just where the action's at?
There arequite a few in this series orbiting , looking and listening..

Altivore being available , even if it needs a lil
debugging is bad news.For some reason i dont like the idea that this peice of shit could land
in the hands of private investigators and be used for all sorts of reasons.One being blackmail
divirce cases and industrial spying.
Call me paranoid but this is chilling.
MS is shitty,it's a company that should be wiped out the face of the planet,that is user
hostile,tries to suck every dollar even from the
schools and hospitals,hasn't done anything to make their products better ( just more bloated and crashy...love the crashes during the presentation ) and generally while doing so just
make everyone wishing they'd be dismanteled and it's owners jailed for cyber terrorism ( ( of course all getting capital punishment for it . : )
So now that we all agree...why keep talking about them ?: they arent worth the wasted bits on the server's disks .
