I recently wrote a script that can play the stock market. If I just quit school today and let the script pay my way I would be bored out of my mind. Eventually I would find myself at 5 in the morning working on another project.
As for alternative carreers, have you(Kevin) ever considered teaching or learning electronics or going into the automotive industry? The challenge is still there, even if you can't use a tire-balancer without getting arrested.
"So he let troops paint tanks in psychedelic colors, drive them in road rallies and bring wives and girlfriends along as navigators. He stocked base hangouts with beer and go-go girls, encouraged black troops to stage Guerrilla Theater and brought in such diverse political speakers as Cesar Chavez and William F. Buckley."
I wonder how "strongly encouraged" his retirement was......
but the OS X market is virgin enough for the picking.
You have tons of users to a relatively new OS missing featured and games from before while unwilling to leave the new features. Make games for them if you need money, but don't quit your dayjob first.
Microsoft was shipping MSVM which would try (and most often fail) to run Java code that in came in contact with. This caused users to think that the program was to blame or that Java sucked.
If Microsoft included Linux with every copy of windows it would hurt better distrobutions. Normally this would just be looked down up, but because M$ is a monopoly they are covered by special laws to prevent them from killing off helpless competitors in new markets. They are supposed to help prevent M$ from forcing Coca Cola and Pepsi(bleck) out of the soft drink market. Rather than do such an obvious takeover, M$ is tried to "inch foreward" into the virtual machine market.
Can anyone actually think of a law made in the past decade that actually helped them? Does anyone have to wait more than a second to name some laws that hurt them?
To quote myself: It's late.
Your congressman is drunk.
He is asked to sign something.
Searching for AOL, VB, Bonzi, etc in a binary could easily detect if it is wetware or not. Nothing without those keywords can afford to force out competitors for a profit!
Hypothetically, if my school uses WiFi for student laptops, can they legally stop me from listening to such traffic?
Physically, they are electromagnetically shaking me every minute I'm at that place and probably causing cancer at the same time.
Hypothetically, I can listen to everything that goes on in range (web traffic mostly, hypothetically). The system is mostly used for test-taking, hypothetically.
Hypothetically, how could suggest that they use SSL? My previous, non-hypothetical attempts at suggesting changes to their <sarcasm>security</sarcasm> measures were in vain. I was blackmailed and suspended as a result.
It was still as stable as Linux, but it was like running last month's version of Debian/Unstable. The packages where cutting edge (unstable), but still old.
What makes Debian so great (inspite of it being a bitch to configure) is the packaging system. I can always get a package and my server (Debian/Stable) has never had a single package conflict.
If all rpm-based distros would band togethor to share packages and package servers they might be able to shake a stick at Debian. If they can pull it off.
I realise that a lot of the emulated machines aren't that old, but I really think that it shouldn't cost that much. Couldn't a $15 pentium from a local salvage store and a decent PCI video card do the same thing?
If I'm paying $300 for something, it should be cool enough to deserve it.
In addition to the six access points at my high school and the individual ones at CVS, Food City, Dollar Den, my church, and various houses I will have even more houses to connect to?
I doubt that I could fit much media onto my zaurus's combined 384mb of storage (128mb cf + 256mb sd). Will a full noteboot computer be required for warwalking/driving in the near future? Is there a cf scsi/ide adaptor that I could get?
Does anyone know if this has any kind of security when it comes to the wireless connection?
Galeon has blocked them better for a long time. Mozilla followed soon after, and I think that Galeon now uses it. Hell, even MSN's browser *chough*probably VB*cough*.does it!

X11 aka X Windows, what started this whole trend and what all the hippest /.ers are using. Rather than just sounding cool, it is cool.
If you think "extreme games" are lame, check out my parody. It features Tux, Ellen Feiss, Beasty(Chuck), Bill Gates, and more.
my summer job (Java programming) has MSIE loading an "insider" page for the company that took 5 minutes to load and required a login.
after and account is canceled. Everyone I know that has had an account with them was charged for months after cancelling it.
or at least for the poster, who is the one being payed for his time.
And I've tried sending spammers a bill for $50/email.
I use Charter for cable internet access. The day they start blocking ports is the day I leave them.

know how to install Java.

it's a win-win situation for everyone!

for a dollar. You pay shipping and handeling charges of course.
thanks for restating the obvious
Isn't that as bad as investing in M$? You are betting on the other (pathetic) team!
This is why I left Mandrake Linux for Debian.

I want 11 5.25" bays and 3 3.5" bays.
If you are counting, that's enough for 7 SCSI drives, 3 IDE + 1 IDE hd, and 1 bay for a floppy tape drive.
I'm nearly to the breaking point with my damn mid-tower. Maybe I could mod a VAX server case if my local college will make a donation.
How hard is it to emulate 15 y/o hardware?

Access for everyone! (While not /.ed of course.)
We all know how much harder a 32mb prom image is to toss around the internet than a 640mb sorta-but-not-quite-ISO cd image.
GameBoy emulation on the Sharp Zaurus helps keep my sanity through certain classes <cough fake="true">English</cough>
Yes, very interesting.

SearchKings manipulations of Google degraded Google's result integrity.

Try mozilla, ghostzilla(winshit), or Galeon today.
