I can just imagine, "Honey, stop by the grovery store, and the cleaners, and gas station, oh, and I'll be monitoring your progress so don't get 'lost' on the way..."
You need one of two things: some balls, or a divorce.
I make my wife cook and clean in a nightgown and high heels. It's the natural order of things; you just have to explain it to them the right way.
There'd be nothing stopping them from having their own MS-computers, would there? (that's an honest question)
And to extend that question logically, there's nothing that says the school can't continue to use the Windows machines it already has, right? It just says the school can't purchase any more Microsoft products.
Furthermore, I'm sure the school could get around that restriction further by having someone (maybe microsoft.. mm?) donate the software.
Even the army is exploring hydrogen powered vehicles. Hopefully it is successful once it rolls out:)
The US army explores everything. That doesn't mean they'll deploy it. They don't give a rat's ass about the environment, or efficiency. Hell, they still use leaded gasoline.
When the global energy system becomes dire - which it WILL, eventually, and sooner than you think - the hydrogen economy will take off, because if it doesn't the human race is quite literally doomed.
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it ironic that on the same page as this "How Hydrogen can Save America" article, there's a GIANT FUCKING AD FOR AN SUV
I think it's the human race's nature to destroy itself, hydrogen tech or no hydrogen tech.
why is it in reviews that the reviewers can't seem to bother to mention the weights of the laptops? i don't want to be toting around a seven pound beast.
Now-a-days, good movie editors can make the worst child actors in the world look like geniuses. Just nip and tuck out all the legitimate bad acting, and you got yourself a "Best Actor" nomination.
Tell that to George Lucas. But then, maybe that was the edited version of Jake Lloyd's performace as Anakin in the Phantom Menace.
Thanks for your wonderfully inciteful input, but the fact remains that one cannot legally play the new public domain GTA 1 without paying Micro$oft. Would you prefer the term "Microsoft Toll"?
Yes you can. It's called WineX. I was just doing it 5 minutes ago.
But most stories are posted 20-30 minutes before they go live. This time window gives other authors a chance to take a look at them. To fix spelling, to check for dupes (HAH!)
So what do they do during that period, then? Solitaire? Tux Racer? I, myself, could take a seriously decent crap with that extra 30 minutes of downtime.
Double jeopardy is possible in the United States. If you're accused of a crime and prosecuted under state law in the state you reside, then acquitted, you can be tried again for the same crime by the feds.
Or, as happened in the second LAPD Rodney King Beating Trial, they re-try you for the same crime, under a different law.
If you watch the entire George Holliday videotape, you'll see the force they used was entirely justified.
More likely, a loose fan belt, or a loose drive belt. If the timing belt were loose, the car wouldn't make any noise at all, because it wouldn't be able to run.
I just find it amazing that when an accident like this happens, which at the root, is obviously the result of poor funding to begin with, the public responds with the equivalent of "OMG!!!!!!! LETS CUT NASA FUNDING!!!!!"
But right now all the Video-On-Demand services that I know (including cable PPV), charge about the same amount as it would cost to BUY the VHS tape of the movie at wal-mart. That's ridiculous. Having a copy to keep, or watching it once on PPV for the same price... Hmm, that's a tough one.
What the fuck are you talking about? PPV on DirecTV is 3 bucks per movie. Buying that movie on VHS is ~$15.

The Iraqi people are hostages to a vicious regime.
Like North Korea?
The only way to do it, they tried diplomacy for 13 years.
Like China?
They tried economic sanctions.
Like Cuba?
They tried limited military applications in the northern and southern no-fly zones. That didn't work.
Like Panama?
They tried 17 U.N. resolutions.
Like Israel? (actually, Israel's ignored thirty-two U.N. resolutions to withdraw from occupied territory, so they're worse than Iraq.)
Now, that leaves only one course. You say, is there any way to do it without conflict? No, everything else was tried.
Ok, so when are we going to bomb and invade North Korea, China, Cuba, Panama, and Israel?
Maybe I'm missing something, but why would I want to install YDL.
Well, maybe because timothy says "I have been running YDL 2.x for about a year now, and it's a fast, stable distro."
Except for that whole crashing thing, of course. It crashes during install and it crashes during configuration. But if you just pop the CD in, then timothy's right, it's a fast, stable distro, if you want to use your powerbook as a paperweight or a doorstop.

Do you know how to read?
"How does seven hours of battery life, great performance, and a 5.4-pound weight sound to you? That's what we thought."

In times of war, distract the public with bread and Serkises....
And also at UC, you can get all kinds of useful commercial software for free. Your $20k/year tuition is going to good use -- blanket software licenses.

(P.S. The proper spelling is "insightful".)
Not yet, anyways. Give it a couple of years
Wal Mart tried, but I guess they realized they would lose.
It's a sterling idea, it's just that some publishers might get aggrieved when they see information on their publications being held by a third party.
Publisher/author information are all facts. You can't copyright facts.
So how much is Linus paying you to come up with these results?

Here's your problem. Loose timing belt.

Has anyone stuck a PC in a Mac G3 B&W tower case?
Yes. Or was that a rhetorical question?

The shows a unit labled 'Single Wide'. I wonder what that implies for the future
Not sure. Here's a double wide, though. You can pick one up today, for low, low prices.
What Microsoft needs is an Ellen Feiss equivalent.
They had one, but he got arrested.
Either that, or it will make the boxes REALLY REALLY BIG! :)
Aren't they already doing that with the Xbox?

such as the recent DDoS attacks against the network
Well, of course people are going to DDoS them, if they're doing stupid shit like restricting file trading.
Breaking up is hard to do.
Oh wait, no it's not.
