It's good to see major companies and the such backing and supporting and wanting to further the promote Linux. I just recently got into Linux and using it daily. I appreciate sites likes this that help others gain some extra knowledge about Linux and the community that surrounds it.
The last time that I remember hearing about this they had an email address that one could use to voice your opinon. I don't see the actual address on their about us anymore but I'm sure one of those means of contact would allow you to have something heard. I wrote a rather lengthy email discribing why I didn't think that they should make the consumer pay more for the access by charging the ISP's more to connect to the phone network.
I thought the FCC was here to really protect the consumer not make the already rich local phone companies even richer. Hell they already charge LD companies to connect to the network thus passing it on to the consumer in the form of a Carrier Line Charge. Anyway don't get me started on my local phone company. You would think that the amount of money they make they could hire someone with a brain.
So it seems that the way that Intel keeps going you're going to have to site at you computer with your left foot off the ground and left pinky finger pointing at the chip to get it to run 1100Mhz and then it won't run Windows worth a crap.
If the seeds that they had to buy every year produced bigger vegetables, more wheat, larger potatoes, but if those seeds don't do that through genetic engineering what's the point in using those seeds.
And I agree with comment #2 those twho things couldn't be farther away from being food.
This takes ant farms to a whole new level. I mean you can spill them and they won't bite you. I had an ant farm when I was a kid. It was with those big ants not much smaller than that Robot ant in this article and man when those things bite it leaves a welt the size of a quarter. Now what I want to see is that you can have an ant farm full of these little robots and be able to control them from your computer to things like little bunkers for my minuture remote control army troops.
I have downloaded every release and alot of nightly builds. You should have seen it at first it was really not all that great. I must say that if it keeps getting better it will be the perfect browser. It actually let me log in to/. today and post something. Now that was impressive in itself. It loaded my webpages which it has never done before without some really bad messups. Zdnet still doesn't load but that's probably because they are working for Billy boy anyway. I like the throbber that they picked for the releases after M9. I was in that contest and I came in 3rd from dead last but hey I won a Tshirt and that's all I wanted. Keep going Mozilla. Even if they don't win the browser war I will still use the browser.
I'm wondering if they are going to support this thing for Linux or at least release the stuff needed to make the correct driver for it. I have struggled myself for a long time to get my video working for Linux. Finally a distro Mandrake came with the right Xfree86 3.3.5 that had support and fixed bugs for on board video. I know it sucks but you deal with what you got. I just hope when I save up to move my machine into a different motherboard that I can buy a card like this one and have it supported on my fav flavor of Linux.
Man landing on Mars. Now when I see that I will know that we are getting farther along in space. I was watching who's line is it anyway the other day and they were doing a skit with alternate things that Armstrong could have said on the Moon. one of my favorites was " I HOPE I GET HOME FROM HERE"? I can't wait for all the things that will happen in the 21st century
"For its part, Microsoft disputed the notion that problems with the operating system contributed to Nino's demise. Brian Shafer, a Windows CE product manager, said: "Some of the manufacturers may or may not be as successful as others, given their brand or channel strategy. There's a whole host of other factors which come into play."
People need an unstable palmtop like they need an unstable desktop. Enough said.
I'm thinking people aren't raising a stink about this is because they are just tired of fighting the losing rights online battle. Which shouldn't be done I must say. It seems that no matter how much uprising happens from an online privacy issue, the issue continues to persist. That is by no means a reason to stop caring. That just may be the reason that they are not caring as much. How will this affect people who don't have NICs. Modem users are assigned an IP, or will it just be the NIC thats on the computer connected to the net with a nic that the modem user is connected i.e. and ISP?
I guess these businesses can't wait forever for Intel to get their act together. They seem to have been having a rough time of it lately. Is AMD planning on using this Rambus type chip by any chance or is that Intel specific stuff.
Wow. I like looking at pictures of space. I wish they had a site that you could see pictures that Hubble is taking in like real time or something. Now that would rule. Call it Hubble.org or something.
Well one thing is that this wouldn't be the actual creature that lived back then. It would be incubated inside of an elephant or something I'm sure. So therefore it would probably have the same immuninties as the host has, seeing as how they will share blood.
What would the mammoth produce that would be bad. It would be eating and living in this day and age. It's not like they will bring the one they found back to life. It would have nothing from the past in it except the DNA.
I don't think there is too much to worry about when it comes to the clone of a mammoth in this day and age. Maybe except for the fact that creatures die off the planet for a reason. Evolution makes only the strongest survive. SO maybe they weren't made to keep living. They were basically an ICE AGE creature if I"m not mistaken. Made to live in the far north. Cold weather elephants is what I think of them as.
Wasn't the big banner ad that you can see from orbit done on the last Dilbert cartoon on TV. When Dilbert had lost the "nack" to do techno stuff and he miscalucated the actions of the rocket and sent the satelites spinning out of orbit causing power outages and the like on Earth. It was a great episode. He found his nack when he wasn't looking for it. So you think your Commodore 64 is neato, what kind of chip you got in that thing a Dorito?
It's about time someone did something like that. I mean most times these launches get great media coverage. So they will have their little ad seem probably around the world. If I could afford to advertise a website on it. I'd be the next one to put it on the Space Shuttle. This could put a whole new meaning to Geeks In Space
I recently saw on CNN where there were a couple of countries using cyberterrorism to defeat another country in a war.
Is this what we are looking at here. A way for the U.S. to do that. It looks to me as though they are looking at a way to intercept it and prevent it from happening. They sure are dumping a lot of money into this venture for just defense, but when doesn't the government over spend. I hope they don't make an army of cyber-soldiers.
This also seems pretty far reaching like they can check into really anything that anyone person is doing. That kinda scares me and I'm sure it scares others as well.
Maybe they are in ties with Transmeta making this pc be able to interact with any other pc by using a co-processor type thing, talked about in the Transmeta discussion, emulate processors and make things work even if the processors aren't compatable. Never know. Sounds like it could work.
Wow, I love it. You're just so ignorant that you have to attack someone just because they posted something that really had nothing to do with you in the first place. The emailing is like a joke. I go the idea from an instructor in one of my CS classes except that he emails encrypted manifestos or the constitution of some off the wall country. It's a joke man laugh. I laughed when I wrote it. I guess you just shook your head and said wow I think I'll blow a fuse on this guy.
I guess it would be an option. Is there a law that says that you have to have the key to decrypt the stuff. Maybe the key is encrypted inside another encrypted message that you don't have the key for. I am new to the encrypted communication arena. I send an encrypted message to myself at another account that inside says that if you have the time to crack 2048 bit encryption crawl out from the cave that you live in and shoot yourself because this is a fake message. Then it gets forwarded to about 20 different mailboxes. Just my little way of saying f*** it.
I myself live on an army base here in Texas. I will be at a New Years Eve party here on base. So no matter what happens I think the MPs around here will keep the general public from the nearby city from causing a great deal of trouble here on post. I will be calmly sipping my champagne come Jan 1 , 2000 and wondering how many people went to see the creator because of their sheer stupidity. Although I wish I had made the product I saw advertised this morning the Y2K compliant candle. Now that's playing on people's fears.
If these companies could find a way to make money from all the money they will pour into space technolgies and travels. Maybe there's something on the Moon that they can mine and make money from. I don't think many private or public rather orginizations will want to spend that kind of money without having a viable source of income that will pay them back. They actually need to send something to the moon again to look for what kinda of resources if any that they can find. Who cares about Mars as far as right now. They have lost 2 different probes sending them there. The moon is alot closer and may hold some until now untold riches for these companies and countries to want to get in on.
Maybe this would facilitate the use of space vehicles for civilians to make short trips into space or maybe fly around the moon and back. Something that would bring money into the space program. I'm waiting for the first McDonalds on the moon. That'll be the day
I don't think that something like this would be practicle unless we had a way to make some sort of gravity. I mean I don't think I nice sleep in a sack strapped to the wall is my idea of what a stay at the Hilton should be. You can only look at the Earth for so long without getting bored. Look Ma I can see my house from here!!! That and well space food kinda sux. Going to the bathroom in space is something that I don't think is either convenient or quick.
Now that is at today's space technology. Sometime I guess there will be something better. I think their best bet would be to shoot for a hotel on the Moon. Might not be as far fetched at the other. At least there is some gravity on the moon. Dodging someones sweat drops would not be a daily chore on the moon.
IMO I think AMD is better than Intel anyway. Let alone the price. I have a friend that has a pentium II that runs at the same speed as my AMD and my blows his out of the water all day long. I don't have a laptop yet, but when I do I plan on getting one with an AMD in just because I like to root for the underdog, but in this case it's just a better product to me. With Intel I think you only pay for a name and the wild commercials they make. With AMD you are getting some down and dirty fast computing dirt cheap. Rock ON AMD!!!
Although this sounds like a neat thing to have. Will employers not buy these kind of cell phones for their employees. Wouldn't want anyone abusing their cellphone surfing the web or playing some sort of online game. They have the computers covered, so I guess they will have to move in to some other sort of productivity booster.
BTW I did love the comment about being cut off by someone that was on his cellphone playing a Bandai game. LOL!
