I also like a big old style normal third button... When I play Quake, use the middle button as reverse, right button as forward, and left button as shoot. I also do a lot of cutting and pasting in X, and a real button is just so much easier then a scroll weel for me.
Say what now? The analog to copyright in the Mercedes instance is what again? As far as I know, there isn't one... I am free to cast every one of the Mercedes parts and build an exact duplicate and sell it, as long as I don't use the name Mercedes. That's trademark protection, not copyright. In the US only limited kinds of work qualify for copyright, and cars don't make the cut.
Um.. Try registering with a party and voting in the primaries, then you'll have a choice of a lot of morons anyway... Just because you are to lazy to get involved doesn't mean the system is broken.
"Our approach is to provide unlimited bandwidth forever for free," he told us today. "There's no amount of material that frightens us. MP3.com's collection is five terrabytes. No sweat. We've been adding forty terabytes a month." Kahle added that the archive.org had plenty of bandwidth too. Holy crap! 40 terabytes a MONTH added to the archive? Boggles the mind.... That's like 160 of the largest hard drives avalible for one copy, let alone backups... I suppose a lot of it is in a tape library or something, but still... Holy freaking lot of data batman!
This issue varies from distro to distro. Under debian I've never had any problems like that, which is part of the reason I use it on my laptop. On my desktop I use Source Mage, which sometimes has those sorts of problems, but It's worth it for me for the learning and control it gives me.
Everyone commented about my post about everything EXCEPT my point, so I thought I'd restate it for you.
China's motivation for going to the moon is much like ours was, to prove we were better then the rest of the world. If they happen to get some other side benifit from it, great.
Their motivation is no better or worse then ours was(/is?). The rest of the comment was just background meterial for why I thought that. I don't hate China, I'm blindly in love with everything our country does, in fact I think the difference between our government and theirs is one of degree, and our government would try to hush more stuff up and hype themselves even more if they could get away with it...
No, but we do have news media from all spectrums of views, most all of whom are propaganda machines for the (right, left, whatever view) but concequently most everything gets out eventually. In China there is ONE government sponsered voice.
You apparently don't know much about China. China is a socialist country much like th USSR was. In China, everything is about appearances. For example, when the Olympic committee came to Bejing to see if it was a suitable sight for the olympics, the Chinese government ordered every factory in the area shut down for a week beforehand so that the usually horrid smog would die down. My in-laws live in Bejing at the moment, and the propaganda there is interesting... There's only one channel in English, and it's a government channel telling how wonderful China is. The Chinese government blocks CNN, MSNBC, and most all western media. All news comes through the government sponsered tv channels, or through the "rumor train". We often know about things going on over there before they do. When we were at war in Iraq there was nothing on but sad music and pictures of wounded children... In China, you are told what school you will go to, what you will study, where you will live, and until recently, where you will work. You need a permit to be able to move to a city, and many families(like husbands and wives families) are split up because they can't both get permits to live in the same place. Throughout school they have a class they call Propaganda(well, not really, but an equivelant word in Chinese) that is just that, all about how bad the west is and how wonderful China is. How Chinese medicine is so wonderful and western medicine is bad(My inlaws masters biology students don't really think that viruses and germs cause disease, and that if they opened their windows to let the Chi flow and excercised, they wouldn't get SARS. Most of them contuined to eat from a common bowl because it's the chinese way, and their strong chi would keep them from getting sick...) China is building the worlds largest ferris wheel and going to the moon purely to make themselves look good. If they can set up a moon base it won't be primarily to make money, though I'm sure they wouldn't mind that. It would be much like our space race, to prove that we're better then them.
Rule 4 seems to say that if you can't get a copy of an ebook that a screen reader can read (basically plain text or html) then you're allowed to make a program to get said plain text. It doesn't specify that you are blind to be able to use this exception... Doesn't this allow you to do basically anything you would want with your ebook, just phrased in a way no one can argue with it?
Doesn't matter. Basically, this means that if you bought a NES game, and the NES is no longer on the market, you can write a program that allows you to use the game you bought in another way (like an emulator, for example). It does not invalidate the copyright on the game, and allow you to redistribute the rom, or to download the rom from somewhere else. It just lets you get at what you have bought to be used in a way the maker didn't design for you. Using the term "abandonware" which people connect with downloading roms you have not purchased an original cartridge or software license for only confuses the issue.
What crack are you smoking? Where's this "we're out of here" announcement? They're just starting up their calculator division again, as far as anyone on the comp.sys.hp48 newsgroup has said, and they're a bunch of rumor mongers.
Because the input sucks on an emulator. I can work about an order of magnitude faster with a real HP vs an emulator... Yes, not everyone does a lot of calculating that can't be scripted or turned into a spreadsheet, but for those of us who do, a real calculator with real buttons can't be beat. (Though matlab and maple and such definatly have their place, i must admit)
So true... One of my aunts has a job working for Toro writing manuals... Has to include things like, "Don't use lawn mower as hedge trimmer." Because somesone did and hurt themselves and sued them.
Check out storagereview.com Great drive reviews, the best out there.. At the moment, the best scsi drive has about a 2x lead over the best IDE drive in "Server style" loads, and about a 20% lead in desktop type loads.
Note that this really isn't an interface issue, but a market issue. With tagged command queuing in serial ATA, one of the main reasons for SCSI's dominance is gone. Unfortunatly, no enterprise class drives support it yet.
The difference between SATA and SCSI is market. The fastest SATA drive goes for $160, while the fastest SCSI for about $700.
SCSI drives are manufactured for the "no compromise" audience, and are therefore traditionally faster and more reliable. SATA puts IDE drives in the same interface class as SCSI, and more "enterprise class" drives are starting to be built with that interface.
Given a well-built SATA drive that includes all the SATA features like TCQ and drive with the same build quality in SCSI, I bet that the difference would be minimal. There are no comparable products at the moment though, so time will tell..
Now also has the linux i686 version of firebird, and working on getting linux thunderbird up there also.
Go there now, and upload and seed more torrents if you can...

Woohoo! Then you have about as much hard drive as one of his hard drives has ram, on and interface that is slow as heck. Great shopping, there.
