A 1994 calendar? What good does that do me in 2003? Seriously though, when I flew, they were giving out pretty slick silver keychains (British Airways) and a nice attache bag (Air France). I still use that keychain every day.
I too had the privilege to fly Concorde (the pilot and crew never referred to it as "the Concorde", but just "Concorde") on two occasions once in August of 1992 from JFK to Heathrow and again in September of 1993 from JFK to Charles de Gaulle. I was just a young teenager at the time, but the experience can be described as nothing less than magnificent.
Both airlines treated you exceptionally well: comfort, food, and care. I lept at the opportunity to scope out the cockpit and seeing the curvature of the earth from 65,000ft while travelling Mach 2 is pretty remarkable. One thing that I'd imagine was added after production was two front-of-the-cabin screens that displayed up-to-date in-flight information such as elevation, speed (in MPH), Mach (0.00-2.14 was the highest I saw), and outside air temperature (-50 degrees Celsius!). I found it very odd that the windows were pretty warm to the touch considering how cold it was outside, but that was the friction working against us.
At the time, I couldn't have imagined a cooler trip a civilian could take... (getting on the space shuttle somehow?). It'll be a shame to see it go, but considering the negatives that have come to light recently (which I was totally oblivious to at the time of my flights), it does make economic sense to cut it out.
And when I lived there this summer, more and more people were abandoning their landlines completely and just using their cell phones w/the built-in caller ID. Really doesn't matter how long the number is after you've typed it correctly once. You just call the person once and they save it in their contact lists. Plus when you're only there for 3 months, who wants to pay a $55 line activation fee + $30-something a month on top of the cell phone bill you're already paying?
What if I did AOL a favor and opened up Instant Messaging for them by publishing specs of all their services so people can write more interoperable software? I'm sure they'd "appreciate" my help, and sue me anyway.
if only machine-making like this became mainstream. what would we use the computing power for? SETI? i say we can never have enough power. *insert tim the toolman joke*
Just wait until someone writes their fun exploit code to set up a DDoS at your company then makes it the yahoo.com home page. There is more to Internet security than covering your own a$$; helping to keep the average user safe should be a concern for all.
Your employer does not assume ownership of your rights of person during business hours. You can take a non-business related phone call and use the bathroom during business hours, and it is illegal for them to monitor any of those activities.
I was working at an investment bank last summer and they most certainly can and do monitor all phone calls/emails/etc. They make sure you're aware of it in advance, and then it becomes legal. Anything you conduct on their time/computers/resources/etc can and will be monitored.
They just listened to each other's accents...
"Hello this is Joisey police... what is your emergency?"
"... at Haaaahvad. And in sports, thousands competited in this year's Bahston marathon..."
When it comes to A.I., Chris Taylor says it can be done, but it will cost. "What I want is A.I. that evolves and has monsters coming at you from behind and changing their tactics encounter-to-encounter. That is very hard to do with scripting because it is so labor intensive and so testing intensive. What you really want to do is have those things done with algorithms, powerful algorithms."
"In the future, I see frightening realism." - Chris Taylor, Gas Powered Games And algorithms are processor intensive, according to Taylor. "The thing that we truly don't have is the CPU power to make our artificial intelligence as intelligent as we would like. That is something that you won't hear from a lot of people, but it's starting to rear its ugly head.
Some say "terminal entrpreneurs" describes them better. Gotta admit though, most of these people aren't in it for the big bucks; they really just want to make enough to fund their next venture. It's these companies that get a lot more interest (note: i didn't say money) while the economy is in the dumps as it is now and it is small businesses that really create jobs. I say more power to them.
I am judging by your spelling mistakes and syntax errors that you are still a little young and don't quite understand this shit.
Examples abound that whether s/he understands it or not, it won't keep that person from posting here.
And I just have to take a jab at you for picking on someone's spelling:
Insurance, by its nature, spreds the risk and the cost.
You interpreted this comment incorrectly. I'll presume that the intended flow of thoughts were as follows:
> There ended up being a lot less children
People didn't claim the "children" they used to because they didn't have SS#'s for them and thus were lying
>...cheating on their taxes
There didn't stop claiming children they did have. They stopped claiming children that were made up.
You're forgetting that though IM functions as communication network, it's still layered on top of the extremely intra and interconnected Internet. Every computer is already capable of talking to every other w/guaranteed and ordered packet delivery. Make an IM client to leverage the already existing infrastructure we've got to communicate and you're set.
It's too bad we can't just identify everyone w/their IP since so many of us nowadays are running multiple systems behind routers, etc., and that simplicity dictates we all go by easy to remember handles like screen names and email addresses. The existing security systems don't cater well to the average user such that Mr. Homeowner knows to open port x or y on his router to permit this kind of capability (or is it vulnerability?).
It's slick to be able to port our apps easily in Delphi and C++ from Windows to Linux, but for those who are used to developing there, they still have to pay the big bucks for a C++ Builder or Delphi license under Windows -- Kylix Open or not.

Yes, there I know plenty of people with one.

I think encouraging Trey and Matt to do an(other?) episode on people who think they should be ruling the world is an excellent idea.

The AC on the 6 is just too nice to leave room for complaining about anything else about thattrain.
