I admit that I do not share the more extremist views that Libertarians think, however, I do wish that people would realize we can have all the benefits of the current government at the local level. This is much better as opposed to a national government with overlapping duties and waste as far as anyone can see. Leave things local, and everyone wins! Well, everyone except hardcore liberals and extreme conservatives.
Ps. - if one more person complains about grammar and spelling, I'll start to throw expletives!
Hmm, it seems to me that todays "debates" are nothing but yelling, interrupting, and loaded questions. Both sides are not willing to concede any of their "beliefs" (I use the term loosely), and everyone leaves with the notion that the other party is obviously delusional.
In 7th grade I changed all the Winbloze startup screens to hardcore porn... Got suspended for 2 weeks and was restricted from computers until High School.
Screw that... Seriously. Born and raised knowing that one day, when the person you were cloned from, who smokes, eats fatty foods excessively, and never exercises, dies, that you will have to give up your heart, eyes, lungs etc, just so the person will live...
Two many issues were this would not be acceptable.. If you did clone yourself at birth for organs, then you damn well better not let the general public find out.
As for the pigs (trying to stay on topic), Seems that PETA will have a feel day with this, although if we eventually find a way to make synthetic hearts and make artificial hearts that last more than a year or two, then using pigs would not be so bad.
In conclusion, this issue of using animals for human benefit is a hard issue to deal with, but we can't ignore the research that one day may save thousands of lives.
"Legend Of the Red Dragon (LORD) has been a mainstay of regular BBSs for many years now and is still one of the more popular doors on Telnet BBSs.
Ok, that out of the way, it's time to to start talking about L.O.R.D. LORD is a BBS Door game with a medievel Role Playing Game theme. You probably knew that already. The usual goal behind playing LORD is to reach level 12 and kill the red dragon. Once you've killed the dragon you can go back and do it all over again or hang out at lower levels and really frustrate people! More on that later.
You advance levels by gaining experience points and then challenging your "master" to a fight (and winning). You can gain experience points by fighting monsters and other players, both online and offline, killing other players in self defense, and through various other methods. Once you get to level 12 you can Search for the red dragon and try to kill him, good luck!
Along the way to level 12 you'll be able to earn gold to buy better weapons and armor, meet and rescue fair maidens, speak with monsters both friendly and otherwise and find gems. Though the goal of LORD may be simple enough, there are lots of surprises that can pop up and there are a number of hidden keys on the various menus.
Now that I've given you a basic overview of LORD, the rest of this document will be organized by menus. As I get to the various menus I'll first list the menu including hidden keys, and then explain the functions in more detail. After this you'll find a "misc" section which contains material that doesn't fit in elsewhere. Because of the menu based organization of this FAQ, if you read it from beginning to end some things may not make sense at first but will become clear when some details are explained later.
Replace platform with tool, then you'll understand, the more suited the tool for the job, the easier and better the job is to do.
The kind of rhetoric you're spouting runs the lines of "back in my day all we had was fortran, and we liked it!". It makes me glad we have all these fancy "tools", because I sure as heck wouldn't want to code something like cutting edge games or top of the line office software in f-ing Assembly! Perl is a great language, and I use it extensively, but, dangitt, don't diss the tools!
Dude, Dell is seriously between a rock in a hard place on this issue. The economy being what it is, Dell has to do whats best for the company and Microsoft isn't exactly playing fair. The bad part is that the consumer is the one paying the price. The way I see it, dell had 2 choices, and only 1 of those choices had them coming out unscathed:
Choice 1: Tell Microsoft no. Hmmm, dell's got money, but can it really afford to go up against years of litigation against Microsoft(who, last time we checked, had 40 billion to piss away) While Microsoft has literally hundreds of ways to make Dell's life a lot harder.
Choice 2: Go along with Microsoft. You still have the server business, microsoft likes you more, and you can still sell linux, just no computers with out operating systems.
These choices maybe seen as black and white, but lets face it, There is no black in white, only green.
So IBM decides to get back into the PowerPC chip market, now that they have a more powerful chip and Apples using motorola to make theirs. Hopefully it will mean a great deal to get big blue back on the ball!
Microsoft is not losing money because companies are replacing money with linux.. This is a common misconception that I see alot of in the anti-piracy debacle. Linux has not taken away the opportunity for someone who wants to buy microsoft. They simply offer a better alternative. This is seen as a threat to microsoft, but I don't think that anyone at microsoft is accusing linux of taking official "microsoft" directed revenue.
Me and about ten close college buddies are thinking about hacking thermostats with wireless connectivity and connecting them directly into target servers.
The hard part is sneaking them into the server rooms without getting noticed. I figure a problem with the printer or air-conditioning would be easy enough to cause, but it's risky. Any Ideas?
Most environmental groups either worry about the effect of logging on local wildlife, or the rampant destruction of trees in south america.
The fact that a cool-ass tree-cutter comes along really doesn't bother them too much. Its more of the parking lot thats gonna replace the tree they hate more.
True Story: I was going to download a demo for a game that was on gamespot.com. Problem was, I couldn't seem to get the link to work with my computer. It was like 50 megs, and I had never heard of the game before (*just to let you know, it was dungeon siege) Not wanting to use a huge bloated commercial server that everyone else was using (*I was getting about.1k a second) and still wanted to play the demo while at a friends house, I used KAZAA to find the game. It only took about 5 seconds for the demo (* I dont think the game was out yet) found a person with a bandwidth of 420kbs. I finished downloading in like 2-3 minutes, after receiving a message from the person I was downloading from. (*He said the game was awesome) I immediately jumped into the game and found that maybe this file-sharing thing could be used for good as well as evil.
As for your logic, I could say that roads are the root (*or route:)) of all evil, with drug smuggling, police chases, pollution, car accidents. Eventually this will seem to be normal, as the public perception of KAZAA and broadband calms down.

You only wish you could be a foot taller huh, shorty?

God, Im glad I wasn't the only one who thought that. When I first saw the commercial, I thought, where's the cat girl?

Wait until they only allow debit and credit cards to be used.. so they can track who is using them and when!

Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these!
Sorry, had to do it.
"Is it just me, or did anyone enjoy/learn from that article?"
What, you actually read the articles?
sheesh, whats next, perfect grammer and spelling?
