Not quite. ol'e TJ did believe that black people should not be property, and in fact fought (somewhat) to have slavery banned in the constitution. It was too political an issue in the south at the time, so the ban was dropped.
He was a slave holder himself, if that is what you are refering to. That makes him hypocritical, but that is a different sin.
Satellite transmitters have a higher power requirement than a notebook computer or cell phone. You will need some hefty batteries if you really want to go remote. The suitcase is for the power, not the electronics.
Duh, I know what you mean. The question is "Do you know what I mean"?
Dropping something into a subduction zone is no different than dropping it anywhere else on earth (mountain, valley, flat place, swamp, hole in the ground). It's too slow. The fact that it is a Subduction zone is not usefull to the problem. So why do people keep saying it is?
And even if it were fast enough to be usefull it would not go down where people want it to go, it would come back up. Strike two.
Why do people keep saying "Drop it in a subduction zone"? IT WON'T WORK in any way/shape/form at all.
A. Subduction zones move material two directions. Soft material on top of the plate is scraped up and piled into mountains. Only the hard rock plate goes down. So anything we drop will go up, not down. You might as well put it in a mountain of your choice rather than a random mountain of the future.
B. It takes for ever for anything to happen anyway. Geologically, Yucca is just as good as subduction. By the time anything happens, it will only have moved a few feet anyway.
Data General has unix and they sell X86 base machines. These are not PCs, they are proprietary hardware with Intel processors.
Does that count, or do they really mean "PC Architecture X86 Machines"?
My wife is LeGuin's neice. We've visited many times. (for me, as far back as '85)
Beyond the Si-fi she also has several series of childrens books, including one about flying cats (very cute).
The only political statement I've heard is that she strongly supports copyright laws and is angrily opposed to information trading and "napster" like things.
As a self professed introvert, I have to say that is the worst idea ever.
I behave as an introvert because:
1. I am often not interested in the topics at hand. Making artificial topics with even less interet is not the answer.
2. I don't always say the first think that comes to mind. I usually wait until a conversation comes to a sticking point where I actually have something to offer. I usually let someone else say the obvious.
3. I hate talking about myself. Don't make me ask others about me.
Try bringing up topics more in tune with the people there.
Offer many small groups with small topics. don't force everyone to come together into "one big event/conversation".
Try setting up many smaller tables each with different types of snacks, and conversation pieces (games, toys, books, whatever). Let the people go to the topic of their choice.
Of course all platforms are welcome. I said linux because that is the one referenced in the article.
Marketing costs when you advertise in many standard media. Microsoft does that becuase they are generally fighting uphill (fighting against the beancounters because of their price and against the techies who know better).
Open Source/Free Software has advantages against both of those. The big one is a lot of knowledgable advocates. The best advertisement is word of mouth from people you know and trust. When your lead techs come to you and point to a web site (much lower cost), that is better than seeing a Microsoft commercial on TV.
You don't have to use exactly the same media. The idea is to use similar style, similar stories. Hell, Microsoft's own market research team has already spent the money to find out the best approach. Just borrow (steal) their ideas and approach the same people in the same way as they do. (Unless they have a patent on marketing methods... That would be interesting.)
The sales stories caught my attention here. They brag about their recent big sales/installations as wins.
Maybe Linux needs a large advocacy site or two that specifically does these things:
1. List companies/organizations that have switched to or are created new uses for Linux.
2. Allow those companies to post their own progress reports, the good and the bad.
3. The linux comunity could provide anything from advice to development support for these companies.
4. Advocates could point to this site as a Linux testamonial and direct rebuttal to the same type of stories that MS uses. By showing the good and the bad it displays honesty (Which MS can't do) and by showing support activity, they see that there really is good support, and that bad senarios can be corrected with enough people available at your fingertips.
I know lots of this type of support is available through news groups and other channels. I suggest this specifically as a commercial/sales type operation. It should be big and well advertised and pointed directly at the corporate officer, with specific examples of problems found and solved. This is MS home territory. Lets get the battle off our terf and onto theirs.
I've always divided businesses into two categories: Those who promote their products, and those who promote their name.
Those that promote their product usually have a product worth promoting, support it well and place the value of the business on that product and support.
Those that promote their name are usually the kind that are just out to get money anyway they can, including all of the practices that we've all grown to know and hate here on Slashdot; strong IP manipulation, questionable anti-competative practices and legislative and judicial buyouts.
.BIZ sounds like the kind of name the second type of business would like.
Games are nice, but what I really want is a nice screen saver/visualizer on the order of G-Force to dance across the TV screen while I listen to the stereo.
This seems like in the end they would be competition for AMD rather than Intel.
The market for these would be people who are not already emotionally/contractually tied to Intel. This space is primarily held by AMD. Via is less likely to get any customers out of Intel. They are more likely to take customers from AMD.
Sure Intel will gripe, but if they're smart they'll let VIA in just enough to pound AMD.
Perhaps he can answer this though: without exploit code, how do we know the problem is really fixed? Twice to my knowedge MS has released patches that didn't fix the hole they claimed. Publicly available exploits are a failsafe, they provide an independant means of verifying that the hole is actually closed.
If I was a MS spokeman, I might answer this by saying:
"Exploits are a proper test of the validity of a patch, but it is not necessary to publish them. They can be developed and tested in closed labs and only the results published."
To which I would have to ask: "Whose lab and how can we trust them?"
So it seems that GNU is a name recognition thing. I thought it had something to do with everything being GPL or something like that.
"For a limited time only! Quick, join the movement that is sweeping the world! All you have to do is turn over all your software IP to RMS and the FSF and you too can become an official member of the GNU generation! Don't be one of those Linux weenie holdouts who think that all you need is good working software with an open source licence. Join the GNU generation and become one of the IN CROWD!"
A good idea. I presume you also mean that it stops ringing when the other end hangs up prematurely. I sometimes can't tell by listening when the other end has hung up. Is there some other signal that tells you this?
So when are you going to mass produce these little beauties?
Any foreign government is more likely to pound on MS than the US would. MS funnels money out of other countries and into the US. The US government likes this, the others don't. As long as MS brings in the money (read: Trade Balance) then they are doing some good for the US economy at least on paper. The fact that many US companies have also been the victim of this doesn't show up very well on the overall statistics.

Lets Google "Pay" and "Search" to see what we get.

So when will batteries get smaller?

Yes, it would.
But watching companies comment on how they laughed in the faces of the MS sales drones when they came calling would be pretty funny.
