Huh?
"Santa Clause" is not Saint Nicholas. "Santa Clause" is created by anti-Christians that tricked people into "Christmas Shopping" and generally not celebrating Jesus' birthday as Jesus would have enjoyed.
Actually, christians created Christmas to trick the pagans into not celebrating winter solstice.
They stole the pagan traditions and created this commercial holiday monstrosity.
FAQs that attempt to answer a questions are at least tolerable.
What I hate is a FAQ that is really just a marketing brochure. One that is short on technical details and doesn't actually answer any questions.
I totally disagree. I think buying a HDTV is the way of saying, that I'm moving onto the new technology you broadcasters/Movie industry can stuff it.
You can use your HDTV to view Progressive Scan DVDs and eventually HD-DVDs. Use your current VCR and TIVO to record SD programming. These are still viewable on HDTV.
When new equipment comes out that disables recording, don't buy it. Current HD televisions have no copy protection built in. By purchasing one, you are supporting the ONE industry that wants to protect your rights. The consumer electronics companies.
What a bunch of self important twirps you guys are. Come on. No one gives a p00p about what OS some pimple-headed geek with no social skills uses to download pr0n in his parents basement.
The reality is NO ONE CARES!
I sent one of those EFF faxes to my congressman (Charlie Bass) and I got a form letter explaining to me how the DMCA is the best piece of legislation ever passed to protect my being able to get enterainment over the internet and they hope to get pass more legislation to keep the web safe from terrorists and the like.
If he had actually read the fax I sent, I would have probably just been placed into a category of electronic trouble makers like those cr|hackers that they see in the movies.
You must suck on the tit of Microsoft for your infotainment. Meanwhile, they suck your bank account dry. The current rate for Microsoft infotainment $.03/neuron boost. Bandwidth extra.
I like the window in a window MDI like old Word and Opera currently. Using Alt-Tab to switch between apps allows me to close ALL web browsing windows at once.
If I am using IE and the boss walks by, a quick alt-tab just brings up some stupid pop-under ad that I didn't even know existed.
If I'm using Opera, with an MDI the Alt-tab brings up the Excel spreadsheet I was working on. The MDI interface can be very useful under these situations.
Moore's Law is just based on a different commercial corrollary(sp?) That is, hardware manufacturers will improve electronics features/performance at the rate that will maxmize profit for them.
We all know Intel had 2Ghz chips 6 years ago, but they just increase the speed incrementally until we all upgrade. Then they release the next round of chips.
In all seriousness. I knew a lady who worked for DEC and she said they purpsosefully put NOPs in the microcode in their Vax, so they could sell a "Faster" version later. They just removed the NOPs.
It seems if NPR didn't want anyone linking to their site they would put a robots.txt exclude file out their. Or at least META Robots exclude on their home page. None exist.
Why don't this just do away with their domain name npr.org and have everyone visit them with via their IP address instead.
No use making it easy for anyone.
Have you EVER seen a reporter get something right, which concerns your profession?
I couldn't agree more. I've read news reports of events that I attended, or things I have participated in. I am amazed at how often the reporter just gets it wrong. They either didn't bother to get enough background knowledge or didn't know WTF they were talking about.
Reporters know how to spell and make complete sentences, but they do NOT understand technology, micro-politics (What is going on in your neighborhood.) etc. I've found most general journalism to be useless.
How many people reporting from Afghanistan really understand the things going on there and understand the history of the place? I would suggest none, yet they get on the air and give their 5 minute wrap of useless information that we are supposed to be able to digest and make informed decisions about?
Bottom line is that main stream media is useless for really understanding a problem. You really need to dive in and research the details yourself if you want a true understanding of an issue.
You'll have to excues my P2P ignorance, never used it, but couldn't a rating system like E-Bay, or even Karma on Slashdot be used to label bad hosts and good hosts for the desired files? Then, the spoofing done by different members could be identified.
I know quite a few people who use Cellular phones instead of wired phones for home use. No telemarketing calls, better long distance deals, etc. So people will be routed away from their house? What about airports where people wait to get onto planes use their cell phones. The system will always think the airport is locked in, and send you around the terminal in a loop.
The point is that unless the phones are equipped with GPS they cannot determine the exact location close enough to know if someone is actually on the road or next to it.
It seems the resolution of cellular bases wouldn't be high enough for an accurate reflection of automobile traffic.

"All Your Bases"
Then how do you explain the french toast I had for breakfast?
Whats so funny, is these are probably the same people who believe the 'Face On Mars' is of alien intelligence origin.

We don't matter.
What kind of recipes do your parents have that need a firewall to keep safe?
There you go. Get sued by some celebrity and Linux will be da bomb!
Napster never advertised on Television, yet it got to be pretty popular. I guess its that "Killer App" thing.

Alta Vista, Yahoo, etc. These aren't as good as google, but they were the best we had before Google. We lived with it then, we can live with it again.
Plus any void left by Google, should be filled quickly with someone else.
Does this mean that Ultra-violet LEDs will be tbe next big leap in technology?

Opera gives you the option of turning it off. Which it is for me.

With one of these, who needs a house!

How convenient, they can charge your cell phone bill for the violation.
Yeah, but someone will wipe their buggers all over the steering wheel/control panel thingy just to gross everyone out. How would you handle vandalism?
Are you talking about Bud Schuster and his Interstate 99 debacle?
