As the clock ticks over from 8:01PM on Wednesday, February 20th, 2002, time will ( for sixty seconds only ) read in perfect symmetry.
To be more precise: 20:02, 20/02, 2002. It is an event which has only ever happened once before, and is something which will never be repeated.
The last occasion that time read in such a symmetrical pattern was long before the days of the digital watch (or the 24-hour clock ): 10:01AM, on January 10, 1001. And because the clock only goes up to 23.59, it is something that will never happen again
Bush in Verbal Japan Deflation - Devaluation Debacle By REUTERS
Filed at 7:15 a.m. Eastern
TOKYO (Reuters) - President Bush's wayward way with words sent financial markets wobbling on Monday when he mixed up deflation and devaluation.
Traders couldn't believe their ears when Bush relayed to a news conference that Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, outlining his plans to revive Japan's economy, had placed equal emphasis in their talks on banks' non-performing loans, ``the devaluation issue'' and regulatory reform.
The yen's value is an extremely touchy subject for Japan's Asian neighbors and U.S. manufacturers, who suspect that Tokyo is willing to tolerate a cheaper currency as a way of spurring exports and stoking a little bit of inflation.
Most traders doubted Koizumi would have publicly mused about devaluation and assumed that Bush, famous for gaffes such as a pledge to ``put food on your family,'' had meant to say ``the deflation issue.''
But some dealers decided not to take the risk and briefly pushed the yen down to 132.80 per dollar from 132.55.
White House officials quickly clarified that Bush and Koizumi had indeed discussed deflation and the official transcript of the news conference also set the record straight in a footnote.
I'm sorry, but you'll never convince me slackware is more secure than a hand tuned OpenBSD firewall. I'm also convinced I can blow open your slackware hours before you get near my OpenBSD.
Wal-Mart is perhaps worse to more people than Microsoft. You may not see it, since most of you live in a ksh shell. ( or you probably don't care, since your lives are ransacked with consumerism, Wal Mart has what you want, and you can't stop.)
I still think the easiest way to spread the human race to other stars in a Van Neuman machine. It's a self-replicating machine that when it finds a good planet will first terraform it that clone humans to live on it (I may be confusing it with something else but I think I got the basics right). This would not only be drastically cheaper and more practical it holds much more potential for the spread of the human race. It also avoids finding a way to keep a bunch of people occupied for several decades.
I use SuSe but my girlfriend does XP. Just get the Corporate build, or I guess the Professional build and there's little, actually noone asking you if you want a passport account.
Why don't I have a voice? It's almost as if I must be a litigator or wrapped up in corporate America for my thoughts to change anything. What a great, awful time.
Ever been to Europe? Tele-text with flight times on television, radio clocks keep time without being manually set, car radio's provide all sorts of info.
Ever been to Japan? You can get a a full automated bath in a token operated walk in booth. (well, maybe some things. ..)
But it's the vacant want of hi-tech gadgetry that slows Aericans from all sorts of neat stuff.
And really, with thousands of square miles of rolling plain, in Wyoming, let's say, who needs a clock to update itself?
But really, why didn't Beos ever really catch on? Das blinken lights? But even Madonna used it on tour, I used it on my laptop, it had great multimedia infections.
Maybe they needed a cuter animal to mascot for them.

I simply speak from experience.

By the way, its not peaked my interest.
It's piqued.
Carry on.
Enter the Fist had a great premise and the trailers were tantalizing
Hmmmmm, I don't know. Not exactly Cannonball Run.

With Mac follows cohesion from the main Apple offices and the Jobby the friendly CEO.
The cohesion within the Linux community is different entirely, although present nonetheless. Go here for an example.
To hold the two side by side is entertaining, but nothing more.

Fear of adapting to new markets is no surprise.

That's one of the bad things about Open Source software in general: no fun with lawsuits!
At least SuSe lucked out with offering commercial software. Just think of all those poor Debian saps who'll never see the court jesters.
