Which technologies she's getting into she probably won't tell you, but I'm guessing that you will be able to do video chat at some point using the XBox 2, or maybe even the XBox. Do they really need all that horsepower (733MHz P3) as it is? The XBox is more powerful than my main computer throughout my 4 years of college!
This year, a 3.06 GHz P4 with hyperthreading and 6 USB 2 ports is $1000. Imagine what kinds of things software on this device will be able to do in a box under your TV next year.
That's funny. You always get the same answers from you M$ apologist. It always starts with "imagine how much", has a "in few months/years it will be twice/thrice that" and ends with "what you can do with it."
And, the sad thing is, the question is always rhetorical, because they never care to wait for an answer.
Because the answer would be: You can do nothing with it, it's the same crap you already had, but it will be faster, more colorful and will cost you more money. And, if you think about, it will suck a lot more than what you have now, because it's without any trace of soul or heart.
Indeed, another stupid name for a new element. Been hoping that the naming commities can get to a 'J' and a 'Q' element, which would complete the whole Roman alphabet.
billsf: Just another stupid name for a human being.
Sorry, but at least when you come to Americium or Polonium, I think the people would not like to hear you saying that.
So much work has been done on the discovery of these elements, and it's a shame if every passer-by has a foul mouth on that.
If they're homophobic bastards who know far less about gay sex than they think, that is.
Hey, you haven't heard our funny jokes about Ariel Sharon (fat man walking), George W. Bush (braindead but still alive) and Usama 'alQaeda' Bin Laden (can you repeat that?).
In fact, Germans are really full of humour, and it's a pity that gays, jews, Americans and terrorists are not.

Why not just get Uri Geller in to sense whether they're telling the truth? Time and again lie detectors have proved to be - at best - slightly better than waving chickens when it comes to accuracy. Yet all Liberty can say is "I'm not persuaded this works".
The idea is not that lie detectors tell the truth. The idea is that you tell the truth if you are connected to a lie detector. It doesn't matter what that thing does at that time, it doesn't even need to be connected to any power source.

Ok, but then if I don't cvsup the port tree I also won't be able to install the security updates/bug fixes.
Simply copy the old ports tree before cvsupping...: cp -Rp/usr/ports/usr/ports.dist
That's all...
(Ok, you might have to resolve dependencies on your own if you want to mix distribution/updated packages, but that really should be trivial. <grin>)

My biggest concern about FreeBSD's port collection is that it's essentially "unstable". That is, it seems to be changing on the time. [...] It would be a whole lot better if the ports tree was frozen together with the OS when it's released and later only security and bug fixes were merged into the ports
You have not much idea of what you are talking about, have you?
Together with the OS comes a complete ports tree. If that ports tree is being changed to newer versions, it's because the sysadmin has set up a task to do so. It's no problem to keep an unchanged ports tree, additionally, if there is need for it.
You can also make a binary package from a port, if you want to install software on several machines in the same way...
BSD is an operating system for people who know what they're doing...
Copyright law was intended to be covered by civil law, not criminal law.
Very important. If being treated as part of criminal law, copyright is a carte blanche for the industry to write their own criminal law statutes, without a need to ask any parliament.
Though, I do have to wonder about the darker side of such tracking. Already, we have students removed from regular classes for so little an offense as acting different, for writing "dark" poetry, for daring to speak against the system even on private websites. I see this finding more use in eliminating
MORE people from the regular education system than it will in keeping potential dropouts in school.
I am surprised that so many people are eager to find new ways of never meeting other people, never talking to other people, by inventing new technology gadgets. Every year a new one.
It seems to be a big problem to many professors/teachers/lectors to have actually contact to students. It's of course far easier to click on buttons and tick checkboxes, write reports about persons you have never seen and never talked to, just by collecting data.
Under this preliminaries, if a student has a problem, it'll never be your business, you only observe. Psychological problems are for counsellors. You can go home and play golf, you're not responsible for anything.
It's a good start. Remember, people, before you start posting whines about things not working, remember, this is a 0.1 release.
It would have been a good idea to explain the people what this *bird crap is about to mean (why in the world they take two very similar names that already exist a dozen times with other meanings?), and it might have been a good idea to explain what development state these birds actually have.
The 'this one is finished but that one is far too crappy' story during the last release of timberbird (or whatever they called it) was kind of contra-productive.
I mean, even if they don't like each other anymore, it's no good idea to make the domestic violence part a public one.
Some people have decided to use Slovio (a language) on their porn sites. Their idea is based on the fact there are 400 million potential customers of which only a very small part is speaking English.
Oh, great. Leave to Microsoft to turn a damn MIDI file into a security risk. There is NO justification for a MIDI file to ever invoke code. How long has this exploit been there, before Microsoft had a fix and then announced it?
Active code should be possible to be integrated everywhere, and everything can mimic something totally different (an.exe file can mimic a.wav file, but the system will properly start it anyway).
That's the idea: Make everything potential harmful. That's the Microsoft philosophy of advanced security.
The
people that misuse the technology are the problem, not the technology itself, which has perfectly legit, acceptable uses.
There are some technologies which can only be used for bad.
Take guns, for instance. You can only kill people with it (while it sometimes fails). The world would be happier if nobody had guns, but since they have, you have to have one too, of course, to protect yourself.
If the people can track you, they will. If the people can use it for abusing their children, they will. If you can plug it together to make it a super spy system, they will.
The simple reason is: This whole WozCrap has simply absotulely no use, except for making you feel better while you neglect you children and family. It can only be used for bad.

the handwashing as they say is all you would really need. They're the experts, they deal with it. Trust them.
From their text:
They should only be attempted by those who are highly experienced in the
field and very familiar with each individual topic.
Health risks:
In the former German Democratic Republic, thousands of miners were working with Uranium ore. Twenty years earlier they died than the rest of the people, by average. See health hazards.
And it isn't limited to just P2P networks. Oh, no! Do you have a fan website dedicated to a television show? Do you include any artwork, imagery, sound samples, or anything else copied from that show on the site? Surprise, you're going to be a felon under this bill if it becomes law just by making such a website accessible to the public however briefly. And you will have caused from $25K to $250K worth of damages and will be subject to 5 years in jail!
Okay, those were the good things, and what are the bad ones?
Is the new law any reason to sell my precious Universal Records shares?
This is great news. God knows we need another BSD, I don't think anyone is happy that currently we only have FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, TrustedBSD, XMach, Darwin, and Microsoft Windows.
Unhappy with *BSD?
Too fast?
Too stable?
Too scalable?

How can you expect anybody be interested in malfunctions of voting machines, if the majority of the population is not represented anyway?
How can you expect that if the President himself was elected only without a number of votes which a judicial decision has separated out?
