We have been doing video over ADSL for over 3 years now, it rocks. Basically you do OC-x connection every 20000' to a remote and feed the home phone, dsl, and 2 (or more) streams of video from it. All from a podunk rural co-op phone company.
Part of it is the artists versus who holds the rights to their material. The 5 big corps that run hollywood are just like any other multinational business, they are concerned about high taxes and getting cheap labor. The artists themselves resist anything that their parent companies do just out of spite for the most part, just like any child rebelling against their parents.
- voice recorder to record the phone calls too Most jurisdiction's wiretap laws will not allow this, unless it emits an audible tone that the other party can hear to know they are being recorded.
And as a University of Kentucky grad and football fan, I also fell bad about UF's current football trouble, since its going to drive up the bidding on your ex (and future) coach.
The only thing we have going for us is to stroke Steve Spurrier's ego about beating his old team with Kentucky.
IMHO, I don't think people are smart enough to properly rank 1-25 for this city council. Of course I have yet to see why a simple plurality doesn't express the will of the voters either.
They can't though, supposedly they have other people's trade secret IP in the code, until they can do a clean room rewrite of that code, it's off limits.
As it stands, they aren't making enough money off of F/OSS users to pay for a buyout of the IP in question, pay for the lawsuit if they broke the license agreement, or clean room re-write the code. If any of those 3 conditions are met, they should be able to turn a profit on selling cards to Linux/*BSD users.
Actually, an XP home OEM license, $89.00, a Duron 1.6 (we're talking a budget system here folks) is 48.00
Both prices from Newegg, so its not refurb crap either. Actually my board of choice for budget jobs, the Asus A78NX-VM/400 runs about $75-80. I just put together a $500 (hardware only) system from their site, the only item that cost more than an XP license, a $105 15" monitor. This was using good quality, new parts, from the proc and motherboard to an keyboard and mouse. At least OpenOffice is good enough to skip paying for Office now, that was the real budget buster for a lot of people.
No, you need to be a bastard and say, "You forged the From: address, you're not hitting my mail spool". Its real simple, follow the RFC's or I don't accept mail from you.
It when the dead show up at the polls to vote (like Chicago '60) that's the problem. I'm starting to lean towards supporting a national ID card just to clarify who is and isn't eligible to vote. Each state can place a denied or allowed endorsement on the card based on their ex-felon status, and we're done. Of course, this drips of common sense, so it will never be implemented.
My understanding with the Slot 1 and 2 were designs to keep the cache on the same package, since they couldn't get 256k and 512k on a socket 7/8 sized package along with the SSE/MMX instructions. That way you didn't get asshole retailers that shipped expensive processors with no L2/L3 cache leaving the customers in the lurch.
No sure answers, and frankly, Indymedia (and/or Rackspace) may never know. Search and Siezure laws in some parts of Europe are vastly different than in the US, ranging from no protection from government search to 4th ammendment style protections, it varies country by country. IIRC the EU "constitution" has a non-binding 4th ammendment clause.
Now offensive line- that would be boring.
With current controls it is, but imagine 10-20 years when you have the ability to control a 3D player in a full immersion VR environment. People who have never played competitive O-line don't relize that a play call in the huddle mean you have to block in a specific way, with all 5 linemen having to execute in unison. Your footwork and hands are used to decieve and move your opponent to open a hole or get yourself free to make a downfield block.
I would have a blast if I could simulate having a 6-7, 360 pound body that keeps my quarterback and RB's alive.
The gains are only real if you convert to cash. You didn't pay capital gains taxes on that stock as it climbed unless you turned it into cash, right? Until then, it was a couple of 1's and 0's in a stock account somewhere, nothing more, nothing less.
You really believe that Kerry/Edwards wouldn't run a 30 second loop of Bush saying "I fucked up" if they could get it on tape. They would be idiots not to.
I've got some beachfront property in New Mexico just for you, I'll even throw in a big ass bridge, a gmail invite, and an ipod
Not trolling, but can one of you get a full time job while the other finishes school? When party A gets done and into the workforce, party B goes back to school, sounds simple enough to me.
Yeah, I simplified that down, but I got tired of hearing "I lost a million on Yahoo (or VA Linux) stock", it never happened. Now if you were stupid enough to buy 1 million of VA stock at $250 and dumped at delisting, yeah, you lost a mil, but show me who actually did that.
As for pension raiding, the fund managers were just following the example set by their federal government, and got about the same pusnishment as pols who get caught with a hand in the cookie jar.
Establishment of a minimum wage Which is why your shoes and clothes are made in China, so I don't want to hear about the perils of outsourcing and "The destruction of the American Manufacturing"
Abolishment of child labor. Which is why I worked "off the books" from the time I was 12 during the summer. It kept me and my cousins out of the farm field too.
Creation of civil and public works to build up our road systems, national parks, public schools hospitals, dams, runways No problem there, we had cheap labor, and we had to fight a 2 front war that FDR was planning for from 35 on.
Establishment of the SEC and rules for publicly traded companies to abide by for the benefit of investors. Again no complaints
Formation of the FDIC to insure bank deposits, thereby restoring trust in the nations banks. No complaints there either
Like I said, a short term solution, which frankly, saved our asses when it came time to meet the whermacht and build the bomb, but it needed to end, if not during the war, soon afterwards.
As for government sponsored stadiums, don't vote for politicians who approve that shit. Works on the national level too, ie, I'm not voting for Kerry b/c I don't see him reducing the welfare state, Bush's Med Savings Accounts will IMHO.
I'm 25, I can take some risks, but you should be slowly reducing your portfolio risk 10-20 years before your target retirement date. Let's take Joe Sixpack who contributed to a DJIA indexed fund from from 1983-2003, for every dollar he put in on the high day in 83 (1287.20), had more than quadrupled even on the worst day in '03 when this market bottomed out (7524.06), and if he held on to the end of the year, it had multiplied 7x (10453.92).
Anyone else care to figure out how long it would take to quadruple your money with a 5% t-bill?
I fully understood what he did, he used a short term solution that has mortgaged 3 generations worth of hard work for an uncomfortable retirement for my parents and grandparents. LBJ followed behind paying people to not work and with semi-socialized medicine, which has proven time and again to be a failure consisting of rationed shitty care. The SOB's won't get me though, last year my 401(k) had a 43% return, my SS contributions, <5% (whatever a 30 yr t-bill went for). Its not like I'm some big money hustler, I'm an IT drone that happened to have a good year on the stock market, you can do it too if you are willing to work for yourself instead of planning on your government to care for you.
That was the high school/teen proceedure in 1995, I was, at the time, one of the 20 best Gen Knowledge competitors in Kentucky and that test absolutely smoked me, I had a 26/50, it was the hardest test I took in high school by far.
The government can and will strip people's civil rights. Let's say for example, Martha Stewart wants to buy her "civil rights" back even though she committed a felony. And she just cuts a check to John Ralph W Badnarik's reelection fund, voila, rights restored, including voting. Restricting to eligible voters would also crack down on vote fraud, as "double dippers" like retirees voting in Florida and New York this year would be more easily discovered if they made any sort of contribution.

Thats fine for a 2-5 person race, but imagine a 15 seat city council election, with over 25 people running, you would have a 10 page ballot.

Does the openbsd system implement softupdates (or whatever they are calling it these days)

Strayig OT, but does it have a USB and/or Firewire port, buy an appropriate enclosure and mount a cheap cd-rom in there, atatch cables and boot.
OTOH, Are there any "PXE boot" options in the BIOS, you may be able to bootstrap a *nix install on there.
