They are using high-technology (i.e. the computer and wireless satellite network) whilest simultaneously advocating all this New Age mumbo-jumbo for which there isn't the slightest shred of scientific evidence and criticising the whole methodology that brought about the very technological and scientific innovations they are using.
That, my friend, is either sheer hypocracy, or stupidity and ignorance.
I feel so sorry for you. You're obviosuly quite young and earnest, and probably a very Nice Guy(TM). You've made the fundamental mistake that many young men make (myself included), amd that is that everyone else is just like you. Bitter experience will tech you otherwise. Go out, chat up loads of other young women and have a good time. Don't take things so seriously jsut now. I know, it's easier said than done, but this is advice from someone who's been there and done it. If only I'd known 10 years ago what I know now. In a few years' time, you'll probably meet someone you love much more and in a different way and it will all become moot.
A bunch of smelly, unwashed, unkempt, ignorant Luddites convulsing all day and night to techno-handbag-disco-music while completely bombed out of their skulls on extacy, speed, LSD, mushrooms, heroin, cocaine etc., with an Internet connection? Have you looked at the hocus-pocus chalatanry they are peddling? I bet there's not a scientist or engineer amongst them. I garantee the best "education" any of them's had is a Liberal Arts degree. Bloody commies.
I am well aware ofg how SGI has been comitting suicide slowly since Rocket Rick Belluzo took the helm. Back in the early 1990's they were truly innovative and exciting.
My point is that SGI is so weak financially now that SCO could stomp on them and crush them with this legal nonsense. All IBM has to do is sit back and watch while yet another one of its competitors is put out of its misery.
I had this idea too once, and I told my collegues, who thought I was a nut-case as a result.
Someone once said that if you have a truly good idea you don't need to worry about anyone stealing it : you'll have to try very hard to get anyone to listen at all.
I had a similar problem on TP4.5. I was writing a little compression routine and I found out that the compiler was throwing away some of my code. By declaring extra variables, like you did, and putting in extra dummy code, the problem went away.
When the Good Lord created the Universe, He created Nature and all the Beatiful Things it contains.
The Good Lord created the Laws of Nature (physics) and of Mathematics
And He saw that they were Good.
Wanting worship and appreciation of His great Works, the Lord created Man.
He created intention, free will and and enquiring mind in this Man.
Aeons passed and Man lived as a child of Nature and God.
Man worshipped God and saw His greatness and the Truth and Beauty that God had created in Nature.
When Time was right, God endowed Man with great Reason, such that Man could comprehend Nature's great Mathematical Beuty.
Lo, man now logical and rational could move out of childhood into adolescence.
In a mere blink of God's mighty eye, Man beheld the Great Truth of Mathematics and studied Creation with great insight and insiration and was propelled forthwith into adulthood.
Man took his first tentative steps onto another cellestial body, and through Mathematics discovered the divine UNIX.
May years passed and Man took UNIX and made it Free as God has intended.
In this UNIX, God had in his great Divine Scheme begat Emacs and init.
The one day Satan came along and tried to ruin it all by replacing init with some rubbish written in Python.
SCO may not take down IBM, but it certainly could take down poor, withered SGI. What you forget is that it would be in IBM's interest to let SCO kill SGI, and all of its other competitors. When SCO has finished squashing the weak, IBM will tread on SCO and splat it into non-existance.
In 50 years' time, there will be a space elevator. Carbon nanotubes have just been invented. We can only make them a few milimetres long just now. We'll also need a lot of electrical power. I think you'll see a space elevator not long after the first commercial nuclear fusion power plants.
There was always a performace disadvantage to having your Math unit on a seperate chip. That's why it was integrated onto the main die in the 486DX and above. Having this add-on module does sound like a marketting gimick, and a nightmare from a technical point of view, so you're conjecture that it's probably a CPU replacement like the 487 will probably turn out to be true. Intel needs to pull some rabbits out of its hat fast. The itanium is failing to sell, and AMD just brought out a technically superior cheap consumer processor. I bet there will be Yamhills on sale by the spring.
The desktops shipped with Solaris are ugly and awkward to use, and getting KDE or Gnome to build and run properly can be an exercise in frustration if you're not familiar with Sun's way of doing things.
Current updates of Solaris 9 come with Sun-supported GNOME out of the box.
The Solaris Freeware (sic) Companion CD which comes in the media kit has been shipping with KDE for serveral years now.
Updates are produced on a 3-month cycle to coincide with the latest update of Solaris.
Don't forget, Solaris runs on x86 (intel and AMD) hardware too.
If the result is that they jam on the brakes as soon as they see a camera then accelerate once they have passed one the result is probably more dangerous than if they were just speeding.
Yes. You should see the way some people abuse the variable speed limit on the M25.
This is yet another storm in a teacup and media frenzy. It has come about due to the ignorance of the general public regarding the Internet. You must remember that "most people" have only had Internet access at home for less than a decade, and many less than two or three years. Many people are ignorant of technology in general, being unable or unwilling to program simple video recorders. To expect society to have developed a sphisticated and informed opinion of the Internet just now is expecting too much. It is still too soon. Give things another five years and even Joe Public will have a much more rational and balanced view of the Internet, what it can do, and what it's useful for.

Yes, it's alive unfoirtunately. We'll just agree to call it "de Icaza's Folly" for now until history becomes the judge.

Don't worry, it's only a troll.

Did you install the Solaris Freeware (sic) Companion CD?

Yeah? Well, I wonder what a wankel engine in one of those could do...

And how is GPL'd code Public Domain?
Cool :-)

Maybe facelifts will go out of fashion, since you'll be able to see all the lines where the incisions were made.
