    They'll have reached their "glory days" once they mail me tons of unwanted junk one of the following:

    Firewire Hard Drives

    As much as I distrust (not hate) MS for their lack of security, this seems like something I'd want. The idea of the house..damn, it sounds cool. The biometrics, the email thing...all awesome.

    Dammit, I want one. My poor lil outdated iBook..

    Well, on the plus side I should get at least another year out of my 'Book before it becomes a YDL 'Book. The only issue is: how does Apple think they're going to sell more iBooks with such an option out there? I mean, pretty soon G3s won't be supported by developers..

    *sigh*

    Actually, you're incorrect. You can breed "dog agressive" as a trait; it has been done. As for them attacking people, that is (unless this is a gang's dog) bred out of them because people have to break up the pit fights.

    They are only dog agressive. Read anything and you'll see that that's all that people have tried to make them. Any dog can randomly attack; plenty do. So why are pitbulls banned when they are less likely to attack then most other dogs out there?

    As for your last thought: You sir, are an asshole.

    See this post. And, hey, guess what, much of it's true. Egypt is NOT one of the better countries. I'd lok to Israel for that.

    The easiest and most fun place to begin would be Konfabulator. Write your applets in Javascript, and call any command line function (read: perl scripts, python scripts, gcc compiled programs, apps, shell scripts, java, etc) and pipe its output into the applet.

    Not only that but the things are graphically stunning. And, the runtime is free (with a small nag, but no time limit or crippling). I've used it to create a personal applet to check my hotmail account and feed back the number of new messages. It's a beautiful applet, took me ~1 hour, and uses perl for the grunt work. Sweet! =D

    That's actually a wicked cool idea. I'd be intersted to see a digital-only site (No boxed software) with such a thing. This would work well for things like, for instance, MS Office, Windows, Mac OS X, Codewarrior, Maya, etc. Anything big and expensive; it limits the amount the people have to invest in the software, but the company can still make plenty.

    And, I'd imagine, they'd get more "sales". I'd also suggest and end date; ~3 years maybe?

    What if a "union" of sorts was created, and got companies to agree to one of these sort of things, and then to enforce it when the users' liscense is violated..?

    Chipmunks and pitbulls will play together.

    Actually, pitbulls can be quite good with small animals. They're only bred to be dog aggressive, not small animal aggressive. They're no worse with small critters as every other dog out there (Mine is A.O.K. with small animals).

    In fact they're quite good with children too...

    While all of the /.ers are jumping up and down screaming "We already knew this!", this is actually quite helpful to Linux's cause on the SCO front. This "source" (Oh come on, come out and be supenad (I have no clue how to spell it)) has pinned down where the Linux code is; much better then wading through all of SCO's code to find where the Linux code is.

    It's also interesting to note just how easily SCO found their code in Linux; you'd think it'd be too difficult to find such things unless you were looking...or if you already knew they were there...
