As if Iriver didn't make a suitable match to these dogs. The I river comes with Ogg support and a whizz of cool features. They may be a little more expensive, but it tends to be worth every penny.
My work is 70km (43mi) from home. I am looking to cycle to work with one of these. It is true, for this to be a large scale solution, you guys need more cycle roads that are preferably flat. Furtunatly I live in the Netherlands. It is flat and the cycle roads are great.
Cycling to work relaxes the mind and frees the body of excess stress. Try it. You will love it.
I have noticed that an IDE's equivalent SCSI drive have the sizes displayed well. Maybe I didn't have a close-up look at the OS representation, but the suppliers sure display the values differently and the values look quite close to a factor(10000000)/(1024*1024).
To think the space program as a suitable solution to save the humans, according to me, is a bit of fools' psychology.
The fact is, that the best place for humans to stay in this solar system is planet earth. No other allows us to live without an extremely high level of energy requirements and an extremely high entropy.
The fact is, Earth will continue to provide a good environment for life long after the humans have managed to stuff it up so badly that we get chucked off. And this will happen long before we find a better place(planet), in my view.
I realize that it is a product of our level of civilization and I myself enjoy the technologie and use the spinoffs with great delight, but I think we are bluffing ourselves if we consider it to be the solution to life once we managed to trash this planet beyond use for humans.
Isn't it strange how there is a marked surge in software control in the past few months with microsoft's main competitor being an OS that is being built with a relatively low centralized control

Remember, underestimating your opponent will be your first mistake.... We might (in great numbers) see M$ as a well organized team of goons, but goons can be very shrewd and clever.
Finally a good reason for all and sundry to dump the cars and go to bicycles!! If you are not fit enough, then you will be watched. I do agree with the Sun arguments.
I know a chap at one of the insurance agencies in South Africa. They did various tests in the printer market. In the end They settled on the Minolta PageWorks 8L. It is a normal B&W printer, but the printer has the following advantages:
1: It runs on normal Copier toner. Dirt cheap.
2: It can take a stack of paper and runs reasonably fast.
3: It is super robust.
4: The printer itself is truely affordable.
Unfortuanately, you then need a seperate printer for the photo's.
The use of the specific units are brought back to the Duodecimal system. The mayas counted using the duodecimal system because they used their two feet in their counting, and thus got to base twelve. Furthermore, the Romans used base twelve, because it has more factors. 2/3/4 and 2*3 instead of only 2 and 5. The use of sixty is brought in to add the factor 5. This factoring has been made obsolete to all through 64bit floating point devision in base two, but could still provide ease of use if you had to calculate lats/longs and estimate time under curcumstances where your GPS and wrist watch failed. One of the threads contained info of writing a base 10 timer in base two. I would think that it would be just as much hassles writing it in base twelve.
The correct quote escapes me, but in denying an individual the right of choice he becomes a clockwork orange -- Anthony Burgess A Clockwork Orange. So doing good is not worth much if the individual does good without the ability to choose bad.
I know in the wake of this terrible attack on your country the feelings might seem a bit blurred and scarred, but we are all human beings. The human race (as per bible, and I take it the quoran as well) has been granted with this conundrum of choice. Not only Choice subjectively, but choice objectively. An attack on the United States is painful for Americans. As is an attack on Palistine in an attempt to subdue their culture painful for Palistinians As is an attack on Angola in an attempt to profit from their natural wealth for Angolians.
Choice should not only depend on your own viewpoint, but on how you fit into the viewpoint of others aswell.
Artificial Biological warfare?!

Biological warfare is using an organism that can be distantiated from yourself to do the killing for you. Does this then constitute some form of artificial biological warfare?

I allways noticed that the scsi drives were quoted with the true values... Why the difference?

Just a pity that Visual studio then crashes!!
