just wait until the FBI finds out how to pick up the signals going from the glasses to the eye.
Or the opposite, wait untill you can transmit to the glasses. Once the resolution is higher, imagine playing quake and really feel like you're in the game.
so what if 99.9% of the public are confused? 100% of those poor confused people will get (or already have) M$ Windows installed on their computer.
If they're even looking at anything called "Lindows" then they probably want to try another operating system.. and maybe an OS that runs windows and linux programs would be exactly what they want.
anyway, I'd like to think that most consumers will read the box before they spend their hard earned money on it.
"... which will render them unplayable on Macs, DVD Players, PS2s, and some CD Players
I'm surprised that they're being so laxed about protecting what is theirs. I trust that in the future they'll get back on track and render these CDs completely unplayable.
They say that it doens't matter which packets are received, as long as there are enough of them.
What if you need to get 10 packets to transfer a file, but only 1 out of each 10 sent get through.. so you receive 10 identical packets. Can you rebuild the original file from 10 identical packets?
If you can't, then they how can they claim that they don't care which packets get through.
If they can, then why would they bother sending more than one packet?
First of all, how would they determined that the mp3s and whatnot on my computer aren't legal? I happen to own cds for almost every single mp3 on my computer.
"almost" huh? You're cover's blown. Now they know you're one of the troublemakers.

There is one important thing that we have been doing for some time now to stop these sorts of things from happening.
I speak, of course, of our intricately planned system of random flight delays. Without a lot of luck, those four flights wouldn't have all taken off at the same time, and this trajedy would not have played out as it did.
There may have been other flights that were going to be hijacked, but that were delayed, and then never took off because all flights were grounded.
For those of us who don't believe that a half dozen cells stuck together == a human this is a win/win situation.
I agree with that completely.
But it should not surprise you that the people who believe that a growing embryo == human life have a problem destroying them.
Then God should have kept his toys in his yard, he gave us the power to perform these actions and the Free Will to choose when and where to use that power.
God also gave me the power to become a postal employee, buy a gun, and shoot up the neighborhood. But that doesn't make it ok.
But then maybe we should first start to battle the government not to take ALREADY EXISTING lives away (death penalty anyone?).
The death penalty is given to criminals. When's the last time you've been shot by a blastocyst?
Actually, I guess a percentage of the embryos which are destroyed would have ended up on death row anyway, maybe this is just saving everyone a lot of time in the long run...
I'd prefer to sacrifice a couple of those groups of cells (nothing guarantees they'll become a living being either, may I add) and save other people (there's no guarantee that this will work, I agree)...
In many people's opinion, that blastocyst is a human life. It's easy to say that it's not, because it doesn't look like you. A catepillar doesn't look like a butterfly, but if you squash a catepillar, there'll be one less butterfly.
(nothing guarantees they'll become a living being either, may I add)
There's no guarantee that a six year old will make it to seven either. Why don't we round up all of the six year olds and use them for scientific testing?
Actually, its really unlikely a 90 year old will make it to 95, shouldn't they at least be used for the benefit of science, and the rest of us?
At some point there were rumors of that virus existing. It was called tuxissa. (tux the penguin mixed with melissa the virus) It was a hoax and didn't really exist. (damn)
They have computer shows and sales regularly in south Jersey and King of Prussia (near philly)
I've only gone twice, and haven't found anything worth buying.

So I guess if we get rid of government and live in anarchy there would be no crime, and there would be no violence.
unlikely, but at least there would be no taxes.
Trillian's default skin is horrible, but there is one called "compact" that you can download which is much cleaner than AIM's.

I asked this before, but I think I was unclear.

If you can't, then they how can they claim that they don't care which packets get through.

The article says that they don't care if packets get dropped, as long as the right number of packets get transmitted.
Aren't the packets unique? If a packet gets dropped, how do they know which one to resend?
It doesn't make sense to me.

no. the answer to spamware is certainly not jailtime. but that'd be a good start.
