You've got to be kidding. A good sysadmin would stop someone from breaking in and stealing the box? You might want to read the article, or even the submission.
"The Raelians, who claim 55,000 members worldwide, believe human life was created by DNA brought to earth by an alien race. Their founder and leader is Rael, a former French journalist known as Claude Vorilhon.
The group's headquarters, called UFO Land, are located in Valcourt, Que., about 200 km east of Montreal."
I have to agree. These guys come in pretty low on the credibility meter, although ABC and the BBC are carrying the story. These are the same folks who announced that US and Korean scientists implanted an embryo in a Korean woman in July. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/214 8864.st m http://english.pravda.ru/main/2002/07/25/33137. htm l
I know I've read of others claiming to have cloned a human, to be born this year. They usually come across as crackpots. Of course I wonder if the "crackpopts" are claiming it, what are the "non-crackpots" up to? I wouldn't be surprised if it has already happened.
The Cnet article said the chip would be lower than Intel's offering. The big thing was that they doubled the intructions per clock cycle, while keeping the lower power consumption that makes it desirable for portables (Tablet & Notebooks).
Yes, I am quite happy with my post. I think it is funny. I sometimes post comments because I enjoy doing so. What that post accomplished was my own gratification.
I would like the same thing. I just don't know if that matters. I think companies will try to force whatever they can. I have a cel and I can't easily buy the phone I want that will work with the current provider I have. I find that frustrating, but I want a cel phone.
Lots of people will buy the WWW on their phone. I won't and you won't, but "joe consumer" who likes the pretty pictures on the TV ADs will.
"The MPV format will make it easy for consumers to transfer photos and video captured on a digital camera to a compatible DVD player or a computer using a memory card or recordable CD or DVD, and then play back the content exactly as captured without any additional steps," says Tara Bunch, general manager of digital imaging solutions at Hewlett-Packard Company.
Sounds like their attempting a hardware specifc combo. So this will work with my HP camera and my HP CD/DVD/RW/WHATEVER drive. Great! Oh wait, I don't have one. Curses!
"There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home." -- Ken Olson, President, Digital Equipment, 1977
Today, people are convinced that they need a computer (or more) in their home. You might not want this, but there are companies out there that would like this (a new market) and will try to create a "need" (new revenue stream).
The lesson as always: Don't mess with Big business.
Seriously, the people behind the World Trade Center are paying. The government that supported them was overthrown. They're executed as they are rounded up. And business is seeking an advantage in this as it always does.
Power, control, money. To business, that is the goal. It doesn't matter how you get there. Not in America today.
IMO, the best thing to do in this situation is to not use Buckeye Cable. I promise you that people will read about this and be outraged, but when comes time to download their daily ration of porn, then the outrage will go right out the window in favor of the cable modem.
People are all for principle until it comes time to sacrifice. If you don't approve of what a business does, don't buy their product.
Backups don't do you any good if you can't restore the data in the event of an emergency. I constantly run up against this at work. People are constanly focused on backups, but when I ask questions about restores, I get blank looks and a mumbled "I dunno". You can backup as often as you like, but until you have tested and proved that you can recover, it is a waste of effort IMO. It amazes me that people can be so short-sighted. Oh well, it helps to keep me working:-)
I store my data at work, but more importantly I know I can recover.
Why would a lawyer need to be "educated"? The broader the scope, the more chances for litigation. More money for he lawyer. Seems to me that from a lawyer's point of view, this is great in it's current form
"experts discuss the various ways that we might go about saving our planet".
What experts? How do you get to be an expert in this area? The word expert imples experience with something. Last I knew, this is speculation. Informed, educated speculation (maybe), but speculation none the less.
I guess today I'll be a financial expert, tomorrow a rocket expert (I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night).
Unfortuantely, "We the people" have allowed our Governement to become the overseers, and we have shirked our responsibility as the government's overseer. I have the feeling that as a whole, Americans are a bunch of spoiled children. Americans don't want to be responsible or to work. There are exceptions, but the majority seems to prefer that the government act as a parent. There is moaning and complaining, but no action is taken to make things different.
If "We the people" don't like it, it is up to "we the people" to change it.

Echo star was slapped down a couple of weeks ago by the FCC. They made some concessions to try to get that over turned. This actually the second time they have been told no, this time from the DOJ.
From what I understand, the biggest opposition come from the rural markets. DirecTV's rural customers have been very vocal is opposing this and lobbying.
The really weird part is when GM put DTV on the market, they got 2 offers for more money from other bidders. Rupert Murdoch and another one I can't rememeber. Then they accepted this bid, which was understood to be the most difficult to get approved.
The "old news" is that it was believed this never had a chance. (Unless Echostar "lobbied" effectivly, which they haven't).
Not True. Fox actually bid more than Echo Star. Hughes accepted a lower bid from Dish, even though they knew up front that this would be be harder to get approved.
$gosub rumor
$rumor:
The folks at DTV (executives) believe that if Murdoch were to take over, they would all be fired. If the EchoStar merger goes down the tubes, they might try a management buy out.
$return
The last thing the DTV folks want is Murdoch. The last thing the Gov't wants is EchoStarDTV, because all the rural customers have lobbied their congress people against it.
My guess, the merger gets flushed, then DTV will flounder around going "Uh, OK now what do we do?" With Murdoch in the wings with another offer that I'm sure won't be nearly as good as the original, now that his main competition has been removed.
The beauty of this from Echo Star's perspective: They have basically stopped the competition from doing anything posititve for the last year because of the merger. DTV hasn't done much to come up with new products or services, they've been waiting to "merge". Ain't gonna happen.
