No kidding, Buffy Season 1 is the first DVD I've gotten in a long time, because it's the first one I've seen that seemed to be a proper "value". 30 bucks (less 20% sale price, plus 3 bucks s/h) for 3 DVDs/about 10 hours of video is a reasonable price. Alot better value thatn 45 bucks for one movie, even if it is a good one. I would have bought the fight ciub DVD for 30 bucks, even 35, but since they priced it so high I just downloaded it instead. *shrug*
Cars (and cities) most certainly do affect the environemt, don't be an idiot. They don't have anything to do with the ozone layer (well, they might, who knows), but they certainly do have environmetal effects. Look at LA.
You know, SOMEHOW, we managed to get our families around without SUVs for years. The idea that you have to have one for you and your 2.5 children is ridiculous.
In all these exammples, you have the power, and thus the responsibility, to migrate your files, or not, with changing technology. With the copy protection, you can't update your files to work on the new player, no matter how much you want to.
They already have em. You know why people still have normal cards? Because until everyone you could ever care to give your card to has one of these special readers, you're gonna want paper cards and a human-readable, easily remembered email address and domain name.
I've done it more than a few times on accident:P Theres also legit reasons to do it, such as to find cached pages from the site or sites that link to the site.
There was a big debate over is to/is not last time this came up - I payed more attention when I reinstalled a while ago.
It looks like it's NOT installed if you select "default" install. However, if you select a custom intall, it's checked by default. At least, thats how it was for me.
Nah, cause graduating cheaters degrades the value of the degree. Optimally, you should be able to safely assume that someone with a CompSci degree from X univesity has minimum skills Y. If they graduate anyone, whether they earned it or not, it makes that degree worthless.
Nothing, probably. Except that, in the time frame we (or at least _I_ am talking about, which is when I used macs in high school, the apple menu could NOT open whatever you stuck in the system folder/apple menu items, and there was no such animal as applescript.
Call me wacky, but I just don't think that DNS (a way of identifying a machine) is the proper place to be showing ports (a way of identifying a process). For what it's worth, theres at least one company that provides everything you want to do in an easy-to-use solution for home users, without needing changes to the DNS system (yeah, watch that happen).
I'd suspect that if company policy allowed you to intall software on company machines, that you'd be considered "acting as an authorized agency". If company policy forbade it, but with a wink and a nod... much harder to prove, but still possible. If company policy forbade it, it was enforced, and you did it anyway, company is probably off, but you're certainly fired.

The only kind I could see having any legal standing at all would be the click-through kind, where you have to read and agree to enter the site. Otherwise it's a fairly obvious entrapment kinda thing - "By reading this post, you agree to remit $1 in payment to me, the poster, by 01/27/02..." etc.
I don't see how it'd be "free" energy in the technical sense, cause it's not. It's just "free" for all intents and purposes. Has one of these dohickeys actually been made and tested, and they KNOW that theres "exactly enough heat (random motion of molecules) that hits the central pivot", or is it just more conjecture?
Well a nano-sized fan is gonna move nano-sized amounts of air... I can't imagine that "fans" on this scale will do anything noticable. You could probably do something with liquid cooling of some sort, tho... keep a constant stream of mineral oil or something moving over the surface of the CPU and a heatsink.
For what it's worth, I intended this to be a brief aside on a topic that I feel very strongly about and couldn't pass up. My post is now up to 4 and has jack-all to do with the topic, and I'd rather it wasn't.
The apple menu might've been the inspiration for the start menu, but the apple menu (then) didn't have nearly the functionality that the start menu does - it only provided access to certain system-level stuff, like control panels. There was a third party util to make it more or less like the start menu, but I'm fairly sure that didn't come out till System 8 or so (after win95).
I suspect they use some sort of audio fingerprinting, probably in conjuction with more mundane stuff like comparing md5's against a list. I'm not up on this sort of stuff, but I now that there's algorithms that can fingerprint the audio signature of a song with pretty good accuracy (there's some sort of service designed as a winamp plugin to help you tag all your mp3s, too bad I can't remember the name:P)
I agree with Eristone, I'm afraid. If you can't figure out how to do port forwarding for subdomains and virtual hosting...
I'm still wondering what ports have to do with DNS, and why you'd want port information attached to your DNS if you're running more than one service. Even assuming that this wasn't doable in other ways that didn't require major changes to DNS, 99% of the time services will be running on thier standard ports on legit servers any. (BTW, your ISP blocks port 80 cause running servers is against the AUP. That means it's not a legit server)
Except, of course, that it was crafed in full knowledge that it made an excellent sound byte and he'd be associated with low taxes. One reason why democracy is stupid. Not that I have a viable solution. Stupid human nature.
Getting a bit offtopic here, but do you actually KNOW any crackwhore baby factories, or do you just assume thats where all the money goes? I grew up in a rather poor region of California with a very high percentage of welfare moms, and I certainly don't know anyone who went out and got pregnant for the welfare check. It's FUD at it's worst, because we're talking about real human lives here.
Couple other points: there's nothing wrong with socialism, it's a flattener - it creates a broad middle ground while minimizing the very poor and the very wealthy. If the odds of getting very wealthy in a capitalist society were more than very loosely based on merit, I might be more in favor of it, but as it is, I see a large middle ground as preferable to a small (15%? I forget) portion of the populace controlling 80% of the wealth.
Last point re: minumum wage - while 15 is rather high, minumum wage is supposed to be a LIVING wage. Right now, if you work a 40 hour a week job at minumum wage, you can NOT AFFORD TO LIVE in most parts of America without outside assistance. Your views are consistent with someone who has never truly had to want, and has never faced a realistic prospect of starvation and had humbling experience of having to rely on someone elses generosity for your basic needs.
IMO, a (good) secretary is much more likely to be able to handle staroffice or any other wierd thing you thow at them than thier boss will be. It's the VP who doesn't really USE his computer for anything besides e-mail and powerpoint that refuses to learn something new, not the secretary who spends all day actually USING thier computer and probably can adjust to a new word processor in no time.
Companies are actually really, really, really bad about operating on a shoestring, at least in the general case. There's lots of reasons to use windows, not least of which is that a huge chunk of your workers are going to walk in the door familiar with it, but it's certainly not cost - retraining isn't as big of a deal as it's hyped to be. Most of the companies I've worked at have made large use of incredibly user-unfriendly mainframe systems, and the windows apps they user are often equally user-unfriendly and obscure. It's the consumer software thats slick and polished, not the buissness software that I see used alot. Why it's assumed that people at home are stupid but people at work are smart, I'll never understand.
Uh, your post shows that you don't know the difference between the internet and the WWW. Not everything runs on port 80. Domain names have nothing to do with ports. Your domain name points you to an IP, which identifies your machine. You then connect to a port on that machine. The port you connect to is either a) identified by convention, such as port 80 = http. If the server is running a server on non-standard ports, it is the responsibility of the server to redirect clients to the correct port.
Thats ~3150 queries per second. I imagine a good chunk of that 8 gigs is ram used to create sockets and threads that do the lookups - I also suspect that is's a heavy SMP machine, each processor with it's own ram. If there were, say, 32 processors, each with 256 megs of ram, and each processor ran (X) threads to handle requests...
