Of course there were probably civilisations prior to 10,000 years ago. Unfortunately the only evidence we have of this is the Sphinx. Perhaps they did not survive Noah's flood or some other problem. We don't know, and probably wont find out, but we might.
Personally I suspect that a small amount of oral history and knowledge like proverbs are probably more than 10,000 years old, but we have no means of knowing.
Last time I checked, high schools do not have jails.
I suggest you write to you congressman immediately and ask for this to be rectified. Hich school kids are definitely more dangerous than terrorists. I sure as hell was when I was in high school.
some people will assume that their player is fucked and just get another cheap one
A lot of people here (UK) will assume the concept of a DVD is fucked, and not get another one.
They will just go on the Internet instead, and stop viewing home movies entirely.
In other countries I shall not name, they will assume that the fake ones are a better bet, and stop buying legit ones.
Either way, it would appear that Sony has gone for gold in the Olympic foot shooting stakes.
Anyone who expresses such doubts is immediately branded some sort of Christian right wing nut.
Because normal Christian nuts are quite happy to accept that God created Evolution, and the Bible is not
a science text book. On account of the incontravertible evidence
ISTR that a dead skunk would out perform DOS 4, not least because it introduced the idea of 16bit sector addresses,
and left the top four bits undefined in numerous circumstances, so your HD would bomb shortly after takeoff.
It may ahve been DOS4 that featured the stolen disk compression algo as well, not so sure about that,
Either way, DOS 3.41 was solid competition until DOS 5, (DOS 5 was good until other things did networking
out of the box).
I have just thrown away the manual for my NEC P5 printer, but I think it did the same thing too!
I bought it when Windows 1.0 came out.
If no, then something close enough to make the idea clearly obvious to anyone who is not actually
stupid. And there's HPs "RET" or whatever it was called to fake up 1200x1200 resolution on printers that could only actually deliver 300x300.
I should think the photo-type setter people were effectively doing this in the 60's.
You can preempt that by running the country for the benefit of the people in general rather than for the billionaires.
You have not been to Britain lately have you? Its run for the benefit of the illegal immigrants. The billionaires all left long ago. The middle classes are mostly emigrating to Spain.
Could this be connected with DVI cables costing > $100?
Who is going to spend this kind of money? Its not the amount. The conspicuous scam is morally unacceptable to the vasst masses of they buying public.
It is well documented that if your product is percieved as an over-priced scam, you will have a problem shifting anything. You might want to point the relevant companies to studies of "ethical economics".
OTOH if you can send voice as data, then sending arbitrary data over the internet is, to use the technical term, "Blindingly obvious" to anyone adequately skilled in the art.
Otherwise, I claim keeping text in a computer file.
The irony of all this is that if the RIAA companies simply did what we all expected them to do, i.e., scout and discover actual, honest-to-goodness good bands and help them sell records the market wants to buy in a way the market wants to buy them
Who expects that of them?
The RIAA's members are expecting them to go and prosecute pre-teens and grandmothers so they have an image of "hard men". From recent news it appears that they are not very good at this either, and are unable to win a legal battle against either type of defendant.
The people who scout talent and promote exciting music are called "indie labels". However, even they are redundant - my son says you can get (pirate) perfectly good software to record music on a Mac, and then promote it on Youtube using extrovert naked females, without involving large corporations.
Its not just the big music labels that need to worry. Pimps are probably in trouble too!
No quite - all of these organisations did indeed have incompatible protocols - because they invented them cuncurrently, and prior to that there there had been no protocols. However, they released sufficient information for interchange products to be developed.
Microsoft OTOH developed incompatible protocols after there were perfectly good ones in use, and then forced them onto the world using illegal tactics.

Was it Chimps that invaded Iraq or Greneda? Sir, your theory is demonstrably false!
If you have difficulty understanding the concept, you might wish to visit this website to see it graphically illustrated.
They give grants for research this. I believe grants have been given out for previous research projects which revealed:
a) Babies learn
b) Alcohol make students drunk.
and, most famous of all
c) Dogs can associate sounds with food ("Here doggie, good doggie, come and eat" or "ding" - its culturally dependent)
And twice as much in daylight saving time - see a clear benefit to DST has now been identified! I bet you never thought it possible!

Or maybe that is housewives? No, No, its globule warming that is making housewives extinct. Its all so confusing, I need another coffee!
A "Jump to delusions" mat would make a lot more money, especially here.
I can see the headlines now: Global warming is caused by porn
That should please a lot of people, and the rest will probably keep their mouths shut, opening the door to my new corporate strategy:
1) Create .sex domain
2) Unplug it
3) ???
4) Prophet ;-?
Artifical intelligence may be ok for artificial problems, but what if you have a real problem?

So if the banks werre to serve porn, we's all be happy ;-}
Support the .scam domain! And the .spam domain too!
Which would give me 320x240 colour, QWERTY KBD and 4GB Flash.
And WIFI, GSM, sound, etc.
I can see the point of an HP memorial edition, but TI?
And lots of fat women. He got that bit right!

Most people can see a difference here
