Why not call it geology or geothermal? Don't tell me whoever thought of these words didn't make them platform independant. What happens when we get to Mercury or Titan? Do we have to make up new words for them too?
I can do something about this! I'm currently evaluating Compaq computers as a replacement for Sun systems in a major application. If you Compaq, insist on supporting this bill, kiss your chances of winning this application goodbye. And you Florance, if you vote for this bill or support it in any way, I will do everything I can to get you booted out next election. If not you, then the next Republican that takes your place, and I usually vote republican. This stupid screwing of the consumers by lobbiests, companies and thier political lackeys must stop.
It's sounds like I picked one of the better movies to see this weekend - 3000 Miles to Graceland. Despite the gratuatous violence and sex it was quite good with great filming and a decent storyline. Besides I got to see Ice T impersonating Elvis.
- Transuranics from household chemicals - Is this possible?
- Asbestos for overclockers - Boring, Use BeO2 instead.
- Home hydrogen generation. I'm not going to tell the secret of Red Devil Lye and Aluminun foil.
- Elotrolysis of NaCl. It's hard to get the salt melted.
Between 2015 and 2020 the MPAA and RIAA has the DMCA extended to cover biological media. The RIAA and MPAA lawyers then argue successfully in court that human memories are covered by the DMCA. Everyone who listens to music or watches video must agree to an MPAA/RIAA renewable license that covers what was just watched or heard. Those that do not wish to renew their licenses by paying a small fee for each piece of licensed IP must report to RIAA/MPAA authorised medical facilities to have the areas of their brains containing the unlicensed material burned out with powerful lasers (see Total Recall and listen to Arnold S. for more info). Regulations against unlicensed material in human brains is enforcable by the FBI and the cost this new system is offset by the Biological Media Group tax imposed on all parents of newborn infants. Payable to the MPAA and RIAA.
Oh yea - Walt Disney gets the copyright period extended again and the US Supreme Court ratifies again that US Copyright and Patent Laws apply to everyone in the world who has money to spend.
when I was trying to download StarOffice for a Solaris machine at work. Was going to look into it but by the time I filled out Sun's humongous registration form multiple times, tried to DL StarOfiice multiple times, and getting a message they wouldn't approve my DL for export I lost all interest in Sun. The funny thing is that I'm in the US and work for a large US company. Sorry Sun but you have got to get rid of the Microsoft style tactics before I'll come back.
Ah, but the KGB doesn't exist anymore, like it used too anyway. Just saw some of there former employees on the TV news running insurance scams here in Texas.
In Texas we just punch holes in a little card. Took me all of 30 seconds to walk in the door, convince the people at the desk that I really lived in the area, punch the card and get out.
Combine this concept with an array of Red, Green, and Blue LED's pointing at the right angles and you should be able to get floating 3D pictures a la 'Help me Obi Wan Kanobi'.
Somewhere I've got an old non-fiction book written by the guy who invented basic. He lays the groundwork for covering the whole U.S. with around 5 computers and every home having a 300 baud termincal. He goes through a detailed analysis of why we wouldn't need more than 300 baud in the home.
The original story as I heard it was 4 guys got killed in a jeep souped up with a P51 Mustang engine. This happened on some backwater tropical island during WWII.
Unless you are carefull installing the latest Realplayer you will get the Netzip with it's download demon by default. I'm getting ready to block Realnetwork's IP's at the firewall. It is time for reverse engineering of realplayers format. Screw DMCA and all the bought politicians.
I think I see a face on that asteroid. Also there seem to be some pyramids to the lower left of the face. I think that NASA needs to send another probe to investigate. Also Hollywood needs to make a Mission to Eros movie.
I've always consider coding very similar to creating art. A good piece of code has the same type of elegance, insightfullness, and form as a good painting, or a good musical composition, or a good poem. DECSS is a prime example of a piece of art illustrating the ruthless IP land grab currently being forced on us by mega-corps. Why shouldn't code be afforded the same protection from censorship that speech, music, and other forms of art have?
Come on now. Do you think a US Government Agency spending billions of tax dollars could really make Windows so easy to break into, spy-on, crash on demand? It takes real evil genius to do all this and then mind control thousands of clueless marketroids into actually buying Windows.

Cool! I'm in Alaska for the next few weeks. Now if it would just stop raining and the clouds would clear up some.

It looked pretty good to me. Anyone know the details of how the projection is done?

Good article. Let's extend out to the year 2020.

Anyone who thinks that government enforced control of what you see and hear on the airwaves is capitalism better go back to econ. 101.

Neutron Star - the book that turned me on to Larry Niven. If someone does go don't send a moron who doesn't know about tidal forces.

I'm surprised anyone noticed the goof...

I heard they tried to publish this sometime back but Amazon.com got a patent on the concept and forced them to retract it.

You would have to make it at least two clicks...
One click is patented already.
