But apache doesn't have to support as many investors as HP does. Think about the investors. If this bug were to be reported, these poor, defenseless investors would lose money. You don't want them to lose money, do you? That wouldn't be very nice of you.
What he really meant was JScript, MS's take on javascript. Javascript is pretty fucked up though. I stopped trying to seriously use it four years ago. I'm willing to blame the implementations though. I am not famaliar with emacscript. I mainly stick to perl for my scripting, but I've heard good things about Python and Ruby. I like C for calculations, but some prefer Fortran. Etc.
Descartes merely managed to prove a questioning being exists as that which questions,...
I hate to nitpick, but Descartes did not thing with his "cogito ergo sum" argument. Rather than try to make my own argument, I'll use Bertrand Russell's. This is an exerpt from "The Problems of Philosophy:"
"... [S]ome care is needed in using Descartes' argument. 'I think, therefore I am' says rather more than is strictly certain. It might seem as though we were quite sure of being the same person to-day as we were yesterday, and this is no doubt true in some sense. But the real Self is
as hard to arrive at as the real table and does not seem to have that
absolute, convincing certainty that belongs to particular experiences.
When I look at my table and see a certain brown colour, what is quite
certain at once is not 'I am seeing a brown colour', but rather, 'a brown
colour is being seen'. This of course involves something (or somebody)
which (or who) sees the brown colour; but it does not of itself involve
that more or less permanent person whom we call 'I'. So far as immediate
certainty goes, it might be that the something which sees the brown colour
is quite momentary, and not the same as the something which has some
different experience the next moment. "
I think the question is not about its being publicly available, but rather about it archiving web pages that were taken down at later dates for various reasons.
If this is the question, it implies that there is content out there that should be unavailable to certain people. I strongly disagree to that because I feel that data should be free. From anything like Bertrand Russell papers to kiddie porn, if it was on the net, it should be considered part of the net. If we select what should be part of our archive by select standards, we are in effect choosing how we want history to look at us. I say that we should store all the data and allow interpretations of it to change over time. Ask any anthropologist or historian and I bet you that they would love it if everything, even the obscene, had been recorded. If we want a true picture of the net, we need to include everything.
Copyright on the web is a silly notion. If you put something on the "world wide web," then it is public to the world. You can't just take it off and expect it to disappear. If you take that idea to the extreme, next we would have people suing us for not deleting their websites from our browser cache. Copyright is silly. I just don't get it these days.
Finally a little question for the P2P junks out there: many people claim they get to learn new kinds of music by P2P sharing. I won't say it isn't true, but how? You still need a handle to search new stuff? You just type in random keywords, or what? Just curious, because I'd like to broaden my musical horizonts a bit.
There are three things I do to find new music:
1) Type in random keywords. This may seem silly, but it can yield interesting results.
2) Search for a genre. You would be surprised at the amount of music that people catagorize/name by genre. Pick a genre that you don't know very well (IDM, dub, afrobeat) and search for it. You will get a seemingly random selection of music. Download these, listen to them and if you like them, search for the artist and/or stuff in the id3 tag. You will find more of their stuff, plus usually stuff they did with their friends.
3) Listen to KEXP. KEXP is possibly the best radio station in the world. They stream cd quality over the web. They are a public station (I'm a member) from Seattle. Check their time schedule (it's Pacific America time) and check out DJ Riz. This guy is the most inventive, relaxing, best DJ around.
This is a silly argument. It implies that there is no such thing as "fair use." Since I only own the disc, and not the data that's on it, I am infringing on the copyright when I make a backup. So what happens if I accidentally leave a cd in my car during the summer and it warps? What if somebody steals my backpack with my favorite cd's in it? Under your copyright theory I would be out of luck. I'd have to go and buy each of those cds new for $20 dollars each if I wanted them back. When I'm buying a cd or a dvd, I'm buying the rights to personal use of the data. This means that I can make backups, make mix tapes and rip all the dvds to my hard drive. Furthermore, I can crack the encryption on the dvd if I want to watch it because I bought the rights to the data, not the physical disk.
A good explanation of the difference between acceleration and gravity can be found on the Eot-Wash webpage. This is the good part:
"All objects fall the same way under the influence of gravity; therefore, locally, one cannot tell the difference between an accelerated frame and an unaccelerated frame. Consider the famous example of a person in a falling elevator. The person floats in the middle of an elevator that is falling down a shaft. Locally, that is during any sufficiently small amount of time or over a sufficiently small space, the person falling in the elevator can make no distinction between being in the falling elevator or being in completely empty space, where there is no gravity.
We could imagine two apples floating on either side of the person; as the elevator approached the earth, the apples would approach eachother. This happens because their paths, both toward the center of the earth, eventually converge. But this is not an effect that can be detected in a local experiment.
This statement of the equivalence principle makes an important suggestion. In special relativity--and all classical mechanics--we are used to the idea that objects travel at constant velocity unless a force acts on them. Now, if we can't locally tell the difference between falling in a gravitational field and travelling at constant velocity, then, locally, they must be the same thing. The paths of free bodies define what we mean by "straight" and if we observe an object deviate from constant velocity, it must be because spacetime itself is curved.
Formally, we state the equivalence principle this way: in any and every locally Lorentz (inertial) frame, the laws of special relativity must hold. From this, we conclude that the only things which can define the geometric structure of spacetime are the paths of free bodies."
Let me put it this way. By putting a limit on my uplink and downlink, I have essentially bought an amount of bandwidth per month (as detailed above). It makes no sense to charge me for using too much because I cannot physically use more than my allotted amount unless their system breaks, in which case it is not my fault. The telecoms are already charging me for how much bandwidth I use, so the idea of me using too much is silly. If they want to change to a different method of billing then they should take off my speed cap, because the speed cap defines the amount of bandwidth I am allowed to use per month/pay period.
Personally, I would store mail in one big XML file, all gzipped up. XML is large and bulky, but it's repetative and texty so it should compress well. The alternative is a SQL style database, but that seems like overkill; there aren't really that many relationships there. Just use XML and search it for what you want.

Ha ha ha ha ha. I'd mod you up if I had any points.
I'm surprised you revealed that you programmed ASP using VB and Javascript. I never tell that to anyone.

Obviously we don't; else the millions of athiests in this country would be raping and pillaging as we speak.
Oh fuck! I totally forgot. Be right back!

Definitely do not accept, I did this and was laid
Umm... Exactly why shouldn't I do this, again?
Umm... This is how the earth cycles carbon around and regulates the level of carbon dioxide in the air.
Nice! If you're gonna get married, she better get used to you doing things like this. Good for you for doing it even though it embarrassed her.

I think I need my own copy...
My thought exactly. But, is it worth the $25 for the dvd? (you can follow the link to powersof10.com to buy it.)
if this were done in flash, would it really be any different?
Dude. This is Java. Java makes CEOs nut in their pants. Flash does not have this effect.
However, I think the difference between 10^13 and 10^14 is way too small. That is more like 2.3 instead of 10.
Yeah, but in astronomy 2.3 is on the order of 10.
Already downloaded it off gnutella.
Hmmm, my DNS server doesn't like oceansatlas.org, but maybe it just hasn't updated yet.
I just get straight up denied.

I don't mean to come off as an asshole, or uncaring, but If I pay for 640k/s, I should be able to use 640k/s, meaning a total of:
640k/s * 60s/min * 60min/hr * 24hr/day * 30.5day/month = 1.686528 * 10^9 k/month.
Let me put it this way. By putting a limit on my uplink and downlink, I have essentially bought an amount of bandwidth per month (as detailed above). It makes no sense to charge me for using too much because I cannot physically use more than my allotted amount unless their system breaks, in which case it is not my fault.

Nope. Care to explain ;)
condoms are free at colleges. I recommend a vibrator. Like a Hello Kitty Vibrator.
