True but no periperial one sees the pure clock signal, all they see is the multiplier applied to whatever bus it's applied to. From a NIC that would be the PCI BUS speed. The multiplier induces skew it cannot make a perfect pulse copy while doubling or tripling the pulse frequency. I change memory and the bus speed in my bios and the skew changes.
So as long as your computers skew is consistent, then it will always finger print as your computer.
So I can't decide to change the clockspeed because I bought a new CPU? Say I change the CPU from a 2.6Ghz to a 2.8Ghz? What if my BIOS has a feature that varies the clockspeed with CPU load in order to save juice? Changing the frequency will change the skew because the scew is caused by capacitive and inductive reactance which is frequency dependent.
You don't have to have identification. No law requires you to have an identification. But no law says everyone has a right to fly on a private airline either. The passengers and crew have rights to be reasonably secure from harm. If a regulation requires passengers to present an ID, you can choose to show it or find another method of transportation. There are alot more significant issues than whether or not you need an ID to fly on an airplane. Pick your battles, some things are too stupid to argue about.
Yeah, but just because your poorly written 6502 code couldn't swing it, doesn't mean that all those things aren't possible.
Disproving anything is nearly impossible. So prove it. Produce code that could do all that on any 8 bit processor and fit it on floppy. Infact, I believe you if you can do it on a 286 with 1 Meg of Memory and a 20 MB hard drive, those were the specs for a 15 year old Commadore Colt.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
The Declaration of Independence is the basis for the American revolution. Note the generic use of the word god (Nature's God) or creator. It was written that way to be all encompassing of religion. The term "God" was never in the pledge or the US Constition was meant to insult Jews, Muslims or Pagans.
That being said, if our rights our not god given or that then violates a separation of church and state, then rights are not unalienable. Or as a athiest you are firmly convinced no divine spark or intellegent design or creator exists. Then you have no rights because no god exists to give them, and the revolutionary war was an illegal war and you should go kiss Prince Charles ass and beg his forgiveness.
What makes you think the democrats care either? Hollywood gives tons to the democrats. What needs to happen is a shock to the system. In 2006 vote out every incumbent regardless of party, catch the rest in 2008. Vote with preference to third parties who think the way you do. Unfortunately, there are way too many lemmings who will vote straight down the party lines. It's a two party system, but that there is guarantee which 2 parties. Any party can be replaced. Voters can make a difference, the problem is finding enough like minded people to actually use the power they have intelligently. The average idiot watching TV believes everything their told if it's repeated often enough.
If your conservative make your issues known, you can post to conservative blogs. If you can post intelligently enough for them to see your side of the issue others will discuss it.
Unfortunately, most people will only see one side of the argument. The side that places anti-piracy ads on MTV or the Grammys. Money is a powerful thing to overcome but it takes getting off the couch, using your head, communicating effectively and most of all voting.
1) Reduce the worlds population to about 200 Million Total.
2)Use exiting Solar,Wind & Hydroelectric Power Sources and recycle the leftover stuff from all the dead.
So they have a phone that can play windows media, does it do it well? For what purpose would I want this? My daughter has a phone that takes pictures, real crappy pictures. She's always using my digital camera, so she must think so too.
My daughters and I have iPods, we connect them to our car stereos, the home stereo, manage it with our computer and I even use it to play music in between sets in my band. What advantage would there be having a cellphone play music? What happens if a call comes in while attached to my PA system?
I'm sorry but I want device that does it's main function really well, not a bunch of mediocre features slapped together in a phone.
It was humor,there wasn't any mention of god or gods. Note the part about the aliens forgetting to tell us what they did with Venus! None of what I wrote was meant to inflame or incite. It was in response to a post about "Martians". Geez!
Some thoughts:
We let loose some microbes in the process of teraforming mars. They mutate we bring back the mutated microbe. It destroys us.
Some advanced civilization decides that we are getting too dangerous and must be destroyed.
Mars takes too long to be habitable and we have trashed our own environment on earth ensuring our demise. New intelligent species arrives and continues teraforming process. This new intelligent species meant to warn us about greenhouse gases but never got around to it. They were too busy trying find places to live after destroying their own environment billions of years ago. It was a nice little earthlike planet named Venus.
I don't know about Ubuntu, but Mandrake & Fedora use pointers to the cups binary. So when a program does it's lpr it's actually pointing to lpr.cups.
I have especially found sharing printers between OSX & Linux easier because OSX uses cups too. With windows you can always share a printer using samba but it can be difficult sometimes. I found that using an administration tool such as webmin makes it alot easier though. I like both the Mac & Linux. In my dream world no operating system would command a huge market share. Choice forces interoperability.
I have a brand new iMac and a powerbook. I would not say it's "better" than linux. I also have a linux x64 system that is faster, alot cheaper (home built) and the interface (KDE) in my opinion is just as easy as the Mac. My wife and kids found adjusting to kde easier than the shift to Mac. OSX is a nice operating system, but it is not perfect, there is no perfect OS for everyone everywhere. OSX is not better than Linux, it's just different. You can take a person who has mastered Office 2000 on Windows and watch them get totally befuddled on OSX. There is still a learning curve and the curve is less going from windows to kde in my experience, mileage may vary. After several months my family still leave programs running on the Mac because they just closed the window! In addition, linux is inside the Linksys router, and nobody not even me really cares because it's totally unobtrusive.
My wife likes to play lbreakout2 and klickety. My daughter like kstars and gnome-mahjongg. Those came from linux, they were just re-compiled for the Mac under X-windows thaanks to projects like Fink. That's why they use linux, it runs under x86 and almost every other common processor such as ARM!
How many PDA's run OSX? How much hardware is supported under OSX? Your definition of better may not meet everyones definition.
Maybe you should read the links from that link. Their is a video showing them peacefully cooperating with the police. There was a group of very violent gay's causing the commotion. The police arrested the peaceful demonstrators. It so happens the states Attorney is gay. The video was produced by a gay group from San Fransisco, they were curious because the Philidelphia 11 had protested there peacefully, they were curious as to what made them against gays. That film group was appalled at what took place.
Autodafes, burning heretics, "whiches" and members of concurent sects, faiths or religions is a fine tradition of Christians at rule.
While it's true that it happened in the past, where does this practice still exist in Christianity? Athiests have killed jews in the Soviet Union and Germany. So I guess killing is an atheist tradition?
Muslims kill athiests and any infidel today, declare your atheism publicly in Iran or Saudi Arabia. That is a recipe for a quick trip to chop chop square. All mankind, every religion, race or political ideology has had traditions of killing, racism, slavery etc. Mankind as rule can be pretty damn cruel.
Religions evolve as do social orders, those that don't usually don't survive. History is full of extinct religions and governments that didn't evolve. Christian's no longer burn heretics, own or condone slavery. This is because it never really was what the religion was about. Remember Christ's Let he who is without sin cast the first stone? That is why christianity is still around. Your post would have been fine without that last line. That last line read like a cheap shot to prove your supposed moral superiority.
1) Murder
2) Horrific Accident
3) Natural Disasters

5) New Incurable diseases.
6) Starvation, Lack of Fresh Water
With the massive increase in population that would result I believe 1,2 and especially 4,6 would be the order of the day. Nobody would die peacfully in their sleep. Those that die from some mutated virus not yet curable, might be the lucky ones.
I think that while as a whole women aren't wired for math, that doesn't mean all women are bad at math. I think there are a both biological and social issues at work here. I've watched as the women physics and computer engineering majors suddenly switch to chemistry, biology and information systems when the math requirements go past basic calculus. That does not mean that all women fail. Several do quite well and are at or near the top of the class. Nobody discourages women at my alma matter, it was other way around, women were highly encouraged. A group statistic is not an excuse for an individual to be excluded or to not attempt to enter engineering or physics. Math in itself is not the end all be all of engineering. There is the natural ability to see a result as whole. One of Albert Einstein's greatest strength was his ability to see the consequences of the formulas. He was not considered a great mathematician in the vein of Newton or Maxwell. But he intuitively could see beyond the equations. He often had help later with the mathematics needed for some of the later quantum theory.
No argument, I was trying to describe the applied Marxism. as applied in Soviet Union, China, and All the little wannabe "Marxist Regimes". Not the theoretical system as proposed by Karl Marx. Maybe I should have explained this up front.
You misunderstand, I didn't post anything relating to what what Marx wrote. I stated what happened to countries that tried to apply it. And yes , I took several courses in political science and philosophy. Name one pure Marxist country one that is purely Marxist? Why do you think most of them are a called Marxist Regimes?
You misunderstand Marxist systems. In a communist / socialist system the government owns everything too. The people own nothing. The communist party controls the government. So only those with high rank in the communist party have power or control over everything. The idea of communism was to have classless society controlled by a union of workers. What really happens is they exchanged a wealthy elite class to a party elite class. The US discovered massive corruption occurs when unions get too powerful. That's exactly what happens under socialism because the workers union becomes so powerful they stop representing the workers and greed becomes the game. Which is also a major problem with the US congress, they have stopped representing their districts and states and are most representative of whatever special interest pays the most.
Open source is more like some native american and Hmong cultures, nobody owns the land. There are no property rights everyone can share. The GPL keeps people sharing and prevents someone from stealing the shared property. In this case the property is intellectual.
Almost every company states projects it's working on. Longhorn is an example here. But not Apple, that is because Steve Jobs loves to go to show off to the Mac zealots. "See what I, your god have wrought!" This a trade secret? Releasing new products is some kind of secret? Funny he doesn't keep movies pixar's working on a secret. So he sues a fan site. Did he wait for him to turn 18 so he wouldn't be compared to the RIAA? That goodwill generated from that fan site can turn to vitrol real quick.

Wealthy yes, deservedly so. But wealthy and Billionare Bill is like comparing the sand in your beach towel to Saudi Arabia.
