...and while I can say, with out reservation, that I hate spam and pop-ups (and especially pop-under), the bad feeling about frames is not in that class.
But I do dislike frames. They are annoying and they tend to hide URL's. I think that web pages can be better designed without them.
I hope that SBC will charge royalies of say, $10 a frame per view and it sticks!
...because of a simple business prinicple: Do not piss off the customer. A banner at the top of the page is okay, too many incite urine and make the page slow, and popups are tools of the devil.
People buy more from advertiser when they are not piss off. It's simple and it works.
...only when I can find a small group, with an esoteric topic, of dedicated people. The smallness goes under the radar of the mass marketers and the esoteric nature keeps out most of the trolls and dullards. I will not pollute this friends by revealing them here to the Slashdot effect but if you learn to search the topics of your choice, you too many find a nice little corner of Usenet space that you may enjoy.
I take it back. I forgot about "activation". W2003 SERVER has that damnable bit of spyware. It is not worth. W2K FOREVER!!!!! Actually, this just might be the best reason to migrate to OpenBSD or Linux.
AND all of the HDTV cards that I have seen either encrypt or use some properitary encoding scheme. If anyone knows of one that stores video as MPEG-2, MPEG-4, or even one of the Divx formats, please post it!
Well, why SHOULD they be changing things! Windows 2000 is Microsoft FINALLY getting something right. You hear me. Microsoft is the Beast, the Devil, the worst thing that has EVER happen to the world of computing but I just cannot deny, W2K was a breathe of fresh air. And yeah, they did drive us crazy with the tons of security updates and I still tell everyone to run Windows Update at least every week (or more), but compared to the piles of dreck that come before, it works. It is worth a new version just to have to save loading up the service packs and updates when you format and reinstall every six months. Hell, with W2K, I just might go a whole year before the whole rebuild from scratch. It is about time for a little more stability and I for one, salute them for it!
Damn the creeping featurism! On with the bug fixes!
All you Linux people, quit laughing! Especially you OpenBSD, also!
The very term, "depleted uranium" is one of the biggest lies of the DoD. It is NOT depleted of anything but the isotopes U-235 and U-223. It is, in fact, purified U-258. It has all of the characteristics of uranium except that it cannot be used in a fission reaction. However, it can be converted to plutonium with a neutron source (like a nuclear power reaction) and plutonium will make nice little bombs.
The uranium 238 IS radioactive. Mildly compared to things like radium, or the cobalt isotopes used by cancer treatment centers, but it is STILL radioactive and it says radioactive for BILLIONS of years. The decay of uranium is the method used to measure the older rocks in the earth - billions of years.
The battlefield use of uranium 238 has peppered Iraq and half of the Middle East with radioactive dust that will sicken many, many people for years to come. Some think it is the one of the causes of Gulf War syndrome but that hot potato has be disinformed so badly, we just don't know. Going to the Middle East? Take a good Giger counter!
Support the troops -- fund the VA Hospitals! THEY WILL NEED IT!!
Unfortunately, the Emperor cuts the VA instead. What can of support is THAT???
...that has GOT to be a lie. The care and feeding of human beings has GOT to require so much more power than they produce - we are energy sinks in the long run, not energy producers. And as for human brains as processing power, no, no, no, no, NO - chips of silcon, or diamond or whatever has got to be more efficient for a machine intelligence. It only makes sense for the machine to keep the humans because they want an audience! They began as servants of humankinds and I think that directive, as misguided as it became, it still strong in their programming, so they continue to nuture, preserve, and control the humanity of the "The Matrix" out of habit more than anything else. Or maybe a sense of purpose. I bet the "coppertop" reason will fall in one of the sequels.
FrameStore? Who the hell say anything about FrameStore? I think you are replying to the work person.
And to be clear, I love ILM! It is just that they are not the first people to do this one thing. They do AMAZING things and I am sure (i hope) I will be enjoy ILM (as well as others) effects for a long time.
Not in their heads and not in their noses, but in their "non-barking ends". Read the web site! Better to target spectators - at the first and the very dumb ones.
Yet another muther to put up against the wall come the revolution. And this is a stupid, stupid move. One reason I admire Goggle is that practice one basic principle of business...Never piss off your customers!
Any infringement on my freedom pissed me off to no end.
One good thang about the wait for this to be released in the U.S. and Europe is that Japan will beta (or maybe gamma) test the upgrade for all of us and hopefully we will have less trouble with it then they will.
...made by reducing the size of spores or some other microbe to a tiny size to help pass them on to the targets, this makes senses. Especially if the nanobots are made of a toxic material, as much electronics is.
Any convicted spammer needs a special kind of life sentence - for the rest of their life, their email address(es) and any and all domains owned by them should be listed on a public web page maintained by an agency of the United Nations. For all to see. Then the wired planet can email these people and let them know just exactly how we feel about them, every single day. A second conviction of spamming or a conviction of circumvention of the first sentence will result in life in solidary.
...after only five short years, so I went to Discount Electronics here in Austin to check the 19" refurbished Dell (Trinitron) monitors. They look rather nice. Took one home and I've been loving it. The 30 day warranty is about up. I hope it last another five years but it last two, I will still be happy with Discount Electronics (who I do not work for). Thanks, guys!
Now, once I get a job and maybe out of debt (QUIT LAUGHING - IT COULD HAPPEN), I just might get either an 18" LCD or a 24" inch Triniton wide screen. We will see. If this refurbished monitor DOES last two years or more, I maybe never buy a new one again.
Slashdot Mirror
I got to this article from Google News. Does anyone know if Slashdot had a big increase in traffic because of this?
"That Instant Karma gonna get you!"
...who does this. This is evil. This is pure annoyance. Get no one a penny who does this to you.
When everyone who does this experience a drop in revenue, then it will go away forever!
Do the same for any stud who spams, pops ups, pops under, or basically farts in your face, digitally speaking.
Let there be Bubblegum Crisis 2040 through the WORLD!
Let there be more Cowboy Bebop!
Let there be Excel Saga!
Let there be Neon Genesis Evangelion!
And let there be the final season of Sailor Moon with the Sailor Stars - SUBTITLED!
As a matter of fact, let there be three Anime Network channels - one dub, one sub, and an HDTV channel that incorporates both features!

But gawd, there is SOOO much noise!
Oh, man! Sikorsky does NOT make a single helicopter that can:
Land on my kitchen counter and be loaded with a sugar cube, then take off and fly the 11 feet to my coffee table and drop that cube in my cup.
I don't even think they make one that will fit through my apartment door! Not with the rotors fully deployed.
Get real!
Especially scary if you could get the Doors to cover it!
...quit Netflix, subscribe to Greencine!
They RAWK! - Especially if you love anime.

And "these are not the droids your are looking for".
Make my avatar a split personality, with my hand on the switch - Belldandy when I feel good and Faye Valentine when I wanna be baaad.
