I'm still waiting for requirements to have IDs to travel between states, with a subsequent "Ministry of Truth"-ish editing of a certain movie scene involving pickup trucks and Montana.
I do. And you're right, that's pretty much exactly what happened. It got even funnier when Offspring started to sell Napster-logo hats off their website.
But why fright? I would love a 10 degree drop in St. Louis. Enough to cut the oppressive humid heat out of the summers and get the snow cold enough to stay snow instead of becoming mucky slush in the winter.
This may surprise you, but not everyone lives in St. Louis. Just a thought.
Some of us live in places with nice pleasant 20 summers and irritating -25 winters. I for one would not like to see cold 10 summers and hellish -35 winters.
But everyone knows that Canada is in the Arcticcircle, not the Antarctic. So us Canadians will have to cuddle up to caribou instead as we paddle our ice floes around.
I agree that a red shirt being hit by a red beam means a zero effect, but that's only because Kirk, Spock and McCoy would have found a way to escape their prison cell anyway without his help.
Shortwave is great for long-distance transmissions. Think in terms of thousands of kilometers. End result: you get to listen to radio stations from other continents. Not terribly impressive in the days of internet radio, I'll admit, but it's still pretty cool. It doesn't require anything but a decent receiver (good ones can be had for less than a hundred bucks US, don't listen to obsessed hobbyists who tell you different) and some batteries.
I don't know anything about ham radio, so I don't know if this card would be any good for that. This looks like a fun card to play with. I've been using the mic jack on my PC's sound card to record shows, but it's an older model and I have to turn it on and tune it manually. With one of these cards I could just set a cron job and not have to be on hand.
I'm not disputing your experiences with Opera 6.x, but I'm curious what sites crash for you. I'm running 6.03 for Linux x86 and it's nice and stable. 'Course, I've rarely bother with Java, and I switch Javascript off unless I really need it.
(Note to Sun: If you really want Java to succeed, at least try to make your netscape-compatible plugin *not* suck up every processor and memory resource it can find, hmm? Take a hint from IBM's Java VM runtime for Linux. It may not do a damn thing, but at least it does that nothing quickly and reliably and doesn't crash the whole damn X session.)
Frankly, the only people who run XFree86 3.3.6 are people who have a video card not supported by 4.x. And Debian-stable users. Owning one of these cancels out the first problem. As for the second, I have no sympathy for people who deliberately cripple their machines with outdated, buggy software.
B5 had multiple uses of the centerfuge. The Omega class destroyer reminded me a lot of the Russian ship in 2010.
Now you've given me mental images of a B5/2010 crossover where Susan Ivanova commands the Alexei Leonov and the Monoliths turn out to be ancient Vorlon and/or Shadow technology.
And who else can see Morden in the role of Discovery's commander? Small creepy smiles all around.
Yeah, but at least Josh Wheddon has a track record of ripping off good stuff to create even better stuff. I'm surprised no-one's mentioned how similiar Devil Hunter Yohko and Buffy the Vampire Slayer are.
And their ship looked like...well...it looked like three inflated condoms stuck to another inflated condom with toothpicks. Bright yellow. Ugh.:)
You just explained a mystery I've tried to solve for the past 17 years! My uncle had this little hot wheels type metal toy spaceship. That's what it looked like. I never knew what it was from.
Hasn't it occurred to anyone that this filtering services *also* have a right to say what they think is good and bad? That they have first amendment rights too?
Sure, up until the point where public schools and libraries are required, by law, to use these services. At that point they effectively become part of the government and it becomes censorship.
What i'm thinking is PGP (etc) need an API so you can press a button that says "I am going to stick in my keychain with my keyrings on it now", and when the device is detected, the system only allows PGP access to read it, and only to the current user.
Maybe it's a totally different method, but I'm reminded of the way Ogle DVD doesn't actually mount the DVD disc to play the movie, and how you have to click "Open Disc" to start playback.
I'd switch to Konqueror in a heartbeat if it supported a way to hand off the URL of a link to another program, though. I love Konqueror, but I love Downloader for X more.
Offtopic, but did are KDE developers going nuts on optimizations? Built 3.0.3 yesterday, and it just flies on my old K6-500.
Thank god they follow the MIME/OpenPGP standard! Now maybe us Sylpheed users will be able to decrypt email from non-Sylpheed users without having to jump through a slew of goddamn copy-to-clipboard hoops.
You hoser, the igloo ice makes it real easy to keep the beer and back bacon cold, eh? Although I've heard that Prime Minister Jean Poutine just keeps his beer in a his icefishing shanty on Rideau Canal, since it's frozen over all year round, eh?
Just another resident Maritimer. Go Baby Habs, eh!
Absolutely! We need revolutionary new kinds of software! We don't need word processors or graphics editors or music players, dammit, we need something fresh and amazing!

(unless you picked a particularly inept lawyer).
For some reason, this face comes to mind.

Hey, anyone would get angry over the possibility of Calgary being set free.

I'm especially fond of Deutsche Wella (Germany's international broadcaster) and Radio Netherlands.

Since some drooling marketing moron thought so.

Crimes haven't become more violent. Our news coverage is simply more extensive and public than at any other point in history.

Email client developers, take note. Please don't reinvent the wheel. It only slows down adoption of encryption.
I think the word is "plutocracy".

First off, how can you get root on windows?
Turn it on.
Absolutely! We need revolutionary new kinds of software! We don't need word processors or graphics editors or music players, dammit, we need something fresh and amazing!
No, the original 2600 Pitfall most certainly did have music. I don't know what universe you're from, buddy.
