I think the general assumption seems to be that if you're running Linux - you're smart enough to sort out the problem yourself - or if its at their end - clever enough to work that out!
If you remember years ago Amiga was bought by various companies which never injected the money they needed to re-launch which led to the slow death of the platform - so being bought out is not necessarily a good thing.
Wasn't that the episode where you say a day in the life of Marge, Lisa and Homer - Homer gets his thumb chopped off my Marge's breadknife, Lisa invents a grammar correcting robot and Marge - well I've forgotten what happened to her.
The Simpsons - dulls the pain (a take of the McGyver quote)
I thought power went the way it went in California because the government told them what prices they should charge (partly influenced by Silicon Valley - a major power user) - so a lot of the power companies didn't have the money to invest in their infrastructure - so a few went bankrupt - and brown outs started occuring.
but what colour was the babelfish? Was that salmon too? (bear in mind it's been ten years since I read the books) - maybe it was orange. - or goldfish if we're going by naming colours after fish.
I love Opera too - IE and Netscape users don't know what they're missing! The only problems I seem to have is it occassionally crashes when I'm using either java, javascript or a combination of the two - probably due to bugs in some webmaster's code.
Does this bit not make sense to anyone else too : "on what people did and didn't like to help improve the site." - if it does could someone explain it to me?
I think this is all a problem over the term "random" number. Most (not all) random number generators that computers use aren't random - they're psuedo-random - that is they appear to be random but are in fact following a sequence. Then there are ones - like yours that can generate random numbers from something random. I remember when I wrote a BASIC program I couldn't work out why each time I ran it it came up with the same random number until I read about how they're generated in the manual (that was back in the Spe ctrum days).
Oh I actually read the second review & then it dawned on me - perhaps the reason they're selling books about it is because it doesn't make enough money.:o)
I thought generally mimes kept their mouths shut apart from the odd o of astonishment and a "The show's over - my assistant will be round with a hat in which I'd like you to put any loose change you may have."
Lets face it though - these things aren't going to happen! In fact the trend is for copyright to be extended rather than reduced (however it does vary from country to country).
Yes but it's only that accurate currently if you can compare the position you are in now with one known very accurately - however the specifics of how to do this I've forgotten. As to the deliberate error introduced - yes I know about it and why its there. No I don't think they've replaced the GPS network - and I don't think it's a conspiracy! lol

Well I'm sure all that's suitably confused any terrorists wanting to blow the place up & convinced them it's not worth the bother!

"They are apparently hyping that Unix is an expensive money trap."
Replace Unix with Microsoft here and you've got the picture!
Won't it be a little pointless to release it under the LGPL if the codecs are still closed source? Mind you - it's a move in the right direction.
>This is wrong >>Yeah, it runs Windows. Which is also wrong from a design point of view. :o)

If the government is serious about getting people interested in broadband they should subsidise it.
No - they use micro waves - radio waves are a different frequency - anyway that's my nitpicking allowance used up for tonight!
Radio waves don't kill you though - they just pass through you harmlessly.

Either that or God's an interior decorator/ designer.

Well I've re-read it 4 times & they didn't use the word plutocracy - sure you've replied to the right post?

Well as the only replies so far to this have been you - I think it's unlikely that anyone did think it was one.

Wasn't that the same place that managed to transfer information faster than the speed of light using a quantum pair a while back?

How many people still actually use it though? *come on - hands up*
