At the university I work at we use first initial then last name. If there are multiple people with that same first initial, last name they start tacking on numbers to the end. I haven't heard of this being a security problem even though it very predictable.
you have to realize that.us domains are a new thing and it's not going smoothly for many people
.us isn't new, it has been around as long as any of the country code domains, it is just new to the registrars. You used to be able to get them for free, although they had fit a specific format (ie name.city.county.state.us or something like that).
It would be ideal to have the money from sales go to the artist. I would say this would never happen (because of past history) but $67 billion is a lot of money. I hope they pull it off. Even if it doesn't work out it will be nice to see the music industry shaken up a little. Hopefully the days of record labels raping artists is close to being over.
Well, OK so the WWW is not free. It is cheap though. I could cancel my ISP service and just use the local library or university although I suppose somebody is still paying for this.
Maybe TV and the internet will merge into something different than either. Banner ads on TV? Commercials online? Like an earlier post said information wants to be free, but people also want money and the advertising industry isn't going anywhere...although, I would hope there is going to be some drastic changes.
Currently a mainstream open-source project that is better than its closed-source equivalent is a rare thing. But I think the open-source community is catching up (making up lost ground?). I see more and more quality open source projects all the time but if there is no funding it is hard to get a project out of development. Industry standards like Windows, Photoshop and Dreamweaver are going to be hard to beat but I think the open-source community is up to the challenge...although it is going to a while longer before there are any real challengers. For inspiration look at Mozilla, I for one would rather use it than IE and it isn't even to version 1 yet (almost).
Nomel and distributed.karma are definately not mechanics. It is common knowledge that anti-freeze acts to keep engines cool on hot days as well as keep the fluid from freezing on cold days. That is why you keep the stuff in your car (>16?) year-round. If you don't believe me read this article (the first search result on Google when using the search string: antifreeze hot day. I quote: " If you ever thought that antifreeze in your automobile(s) or farm equipment(s) radiator was only important during freezing weather, think again. Ethylene glycol, the chemical compound in most antifreeze, raises the boiling point in your radiator(s) from 212 degrees F to 265 degrees F. "
Hey it seemed to work for Peter. MJ was hot! What you have to understand is that women are insane so something that may make you sick could turn a(another?) woman on.
How come the large software companies get away with stealing stuff all the time but when a little Russian company like Elcomsoft does something people go ape shit and try to throw them in prison. If someone like Microsoft would have done something similar to this (they have) they would have just gotten a slap on the wrist (a fine...meaningless to a rich software company). You don't see anyone trying to throw Bill in prison like they did to Dmitry Sklyarov
Here's one of the letters by the mailbox bomber. Of course, some of it
sounds weird, but he's got at least a few good points:
--- BEGIN LETTER ---
Mailboxes are exploding! Why, you ask?
Attention people.
You do things because you can and want (desire) to.
If the government controls what you want to do, they control what you can
do.
If you are under the impression that death exists, and you fear it, you do
anything to avoid it. (This is the same way pain operates. Naturally we
strive to avoid negative emotion/pain.)
You allow yourself to fear death!
World authorities allowed, and still allow you to fear death!
In avoiding death you are forced to conform, if you fail to conform, you
suffer mentally and physically. (Are world powers utilizing the natural
survival instinct in a way that allows them to capitalize on the people?)
To "live" (avoid death) in this society you are forced to conform/slave
away.
I'm here to help you realize/ understand that you will live no matter what!
It is up to you people to open your hearts and minds. There is no such
thing as death. The people I've dismissed from this reality are not at all
dead.
Conforming to the boundaries, and restrictions imposed by the government
only reduces the substance in your lives. When 1% of the nation controls
99% of the nations total wealth, is it a wonder why there are control
problems?
The United States strives to provide freedom for their people. Do we really
have personal freedom? I've lived here for many years, and I see much
limitation. Does the definition of freedom include limitation? I've learned
about the history of various civilizations in history, and I see more and
more limitation. Do you people enjoy this trend of limitation? If not,
change it!
As long as you are uninformed about death you will continue to say "how
high", when the government tells you to "jump". As long as the government
is uninformed about death they will continue tell you to "jump" Is the
government uninformed about death, or are they pretending?
You have been missing how things are, for very long. I'm obtaining your
attention in the only way I can.
More info is on its way. More "attention getters' are on the way. If I
could, I would change only one person, unfortunately the resources are not
accessible. It seems killing a single famous person would get the same
media attention as killing numerous un-famous humans. There is less risk of
being detained, associated with dismissing certain people.
Sincerely,
Someone Who Cares
PS. More info. will be delivered to various locations around the country.

I had a lot of pizza tonight and I think I could power that island with methane right about now.

Doh! I meant Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Yes, he was very influential.
Yes, you are the only one who doesn't enjoy his writing.
Yes, you are the only one thoroughly tired of hearing about him.
There is, and only will be, one Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe

There are no ads on the WWW and it is free.
Didn't feel anything in Chico California.
What about sitting on the toilet, using my PDA? Would that be worse than just sitting on the toilet? Better than using my workstation?
It is a historical account. How could it be out of date?

"some very juicy details"??? Did the video card sleep with its cousin or something?

Don't bother posting any questions to this thread. You already know the answer: 42.
Wouldn't anti-freeze work better than water? It works better in cars doesn't it?
Uhhh, the subject speaks for itself. I think I will stop speaking now...
Spider-Man spoiler? How is that possible? Anyone who is a fan knows every possible story line they could use in the sequal.
I just wouldn't feel like I am part of the
Can you imagine a beowulf cluster of these?

Wait a second! How did you power your computer to make this response? And how did you get a network connection? Something is fishy here...
Some people do not want or have a need for the modern medicine that a hospital or clinic would provide.
