This thing basicly says that if you want to use Microsoft products you've got to give them right to scan your hard drive, and giving microsoft losts of feedback on what's actually installed on that machine. I see this more as a atemp to controll piracy. if Microsft can view a list of installed software and check if you've paid for it. I think *A LOT* of people will have some, not so friendly, knocking on their door demandig pay for office etc... and even XP.
I'm rather ambiguous about the open source "movement", but I have to appreciate any company that gives out their products when they no longer are being supported.
do you think microsoft will release the code for win95? just a thought
jeeee, it's more nowegians out here who owe sierra their english... althoug i remember a place in SQ I, when i was stuck over a acid bath clingin on to a plunger(i still don't know wath those things are called in norwegian):
I kinda liked to die the sierra death. unlike your normal death it was kinda funny... hell even the SQ installer was funny. I'm realy looking forward to this. and this time i'm going to *buy* the game. By the way PQ and SQ style of games was the only games my mother would let me insatall on her computer(wonder why Larry didn't maki it thogh)
We are lucky to have broadband whitout volume pricing, now that's gonna change.. goddamn! Someday I can tell my grandchildren about the happy days of early broadband services
lets see, B-52 took part in the bombing of Slobodan Milosovich's Yugoslavia(Serbia+montenegro), Kosovo, the region, was a part of jugolsavia(and still is, at least on the paper). Kosovo it's not Milosovichs capital, as the journalist says, its a part of the country.
And by the way: why did the US++ start to call Kosovo Albanians Kosovoar during the campaign?
Sea shadow is a experimental ship where the goal was to see how "stealth" a ship could become (radar, sonar, wake and thermal), it's not in production.. there are more sealth ships in the world than Sea Shadow and this russian vessel. you've got frances la fayette(or something), swedens visby class they've also got a smaller stealth vessel, Norways skjold
(bottom of page, sorry only in norwegian),50kn, wich the US is considering to buy.
and to the one who talked about seeing the ship from space: good luck targeting those missiles, on a moving target, with images from space.
the efficiency of a large powerplant is much higer than the one you cold theroreticaly achive in your car(carnot efficiency of about 36%, mechanical), wheras a large marine diesel can achive about 80% with heat recovery fram exhaust etc.. A car engine never operates at perfect conditions(ever wondered why you gas milage is higer for cross counrty?).
Production of energy at large powerplants would reduce emissions dramaticaly. if you put electrical engines in every car on earth and use coal power plants(dirty, dirty, dirty) to produce the electricity, you would end up with reduced emissions.

its good to see someone finaly taking advantage of 100 years old german submarine technology. Has abybody thought about that the energy in those fuel cells have to come from somwhere...
doubt it, the author talks about how the computer will eliminate virtualy all other standalone devices. maybe he is forgetting about all the people who is reluctant to computer use. I just don't see people having problems to install/operate software thrashing heir good ol' telephone to talk through the pc.
I more likely scenario will be more halfbreeds between computes and electric devices. I can picture my mom replacing the telephone with an ip enabeled telephone, rather than a headset connected to the computer. Most people are "afraid" of new technology, not facinated with it like most people reading/.
