You could trump my nickname with the SN54S181. The military part. I think the regular Schottky part is faster than the F part, isn't it? I'd have to dig in some data books...
I got a reply that was obvously from Paul Allen to a comment posted right here on Slashdot once. (relating to Bill Gates writing the code, in Assembly Language, for the word processor in the TRS-80 Model 100). It didn't affect my Geek Status very much, though, because P. Allen replied as A.C.
Considering that Wil has enjoyed a somewhat unique experience in one of the most loved TV franchises in the modern era you think people would be more inclined to post thoughtful replies.
Here's a thoughtful reply: This fellow is a TV Actor. Usually geeks figure stuff like this out and know to avoid it. Worship of TV actors is one of the uglier aspects of Trekkie-ness, and Slashdot should be better than that.
I mean, 'Geek Boy' because his agent told him there's a niche market out there? Completely believable! But we're supposed to buy into it??
There's quite a bit of homoerotic fan fiction involving Wesley out there, if you look a little bit. Haven't read any 'boy crusher' stories though. Definitely NOT MY THING, thankyouverymuch.
No, 'good fences mean good neighbors' implies that the neighbors are good to one another. It implies that the neighbors see each other as peers.
It is a metaphor that would apply between two music publishers with a 'fence' between them, i.e. who each publish their own line of content. It is a metaphor that would apply between two neighbors each with similar back yards, or pastures, etc.

...and DRAM (unlimited write cycles) is better than FlashRAM (well-understood limited number of write cycles possible.)
But you're right. It's all a conspiracy, not the physical reality that FLASH memory can only be written to a limited number of times before it fails randomly....
One problem here. Slouch-backed youths hunkering over their keyboard on the Internet can copy content back and forth that they've 'ripped' off of CDs and DVDs. They can't 'rip' the essense out of DRAM and CPU chips and copy the design patterns around to easily replicate. The replication process is, ummm, a bit more complex than putting cheap CDR disks into a slot.
If newspapers had historically been used to reprint unauthorized copies of creative works, i.e. poem, short stories, chapters of novels, they would have been stopped. As it stands, newspapers have always printed content created by the people who the newspapers employ and offer renumeration to.
A 'good fences make good neighbors' metaphor implies a peer-peer relationship. It somehow implies that the 'fence' divides an area into two equal spaces.
That's really not at all the problem here. In the case of copyright protection, the fence divides an art conservatory from a flea market. The 'peers' who are 'sharing' content are a community of people who create little or none of the content that they're 'sharing' among themselves. Rather, they've expropriated content from a different group of people and they're dividing it amongst themselves.
Now, if more, maybe even 15-25%, of the content on P-P sharing systems was created by the people doing the 'sharing' it would be different. As it stands, they've just ripped off a bunch of stuff out of the conservatory and they're selling it cheap on tables at the flea market.
And people who have a driver-viewable video display showing a program or a movie don't necessarily kill people. They just lower our taxes by paying heavy fines. Because there are many, many places where it's a moving violation to have a driver-viewable video display in a moving car.
I can remember a few times when I was a kid, dialing up the time sharing service from home and whistling into the modem at the other end. This was in the 110 - 300 baud era and I couldn't afford a terminal at home. You could sweep through a range of frequencies and 'catch' the modem so that it would warble back pretty much until you hung up.
Those were the sad days when you had to go into school and hunker down over a teletype (110 baud, yellow crummy paper, all upper case, the machne smelled like grease) to do any computing at all if you were a kid.
It's almost unheard of for a Favorite Son candidate to not carry his own state.
And yes, the Dixiecrats don't carry the same weight they used to in the South. There are still former Ku Klux Klan leaders who are Democratic Senators, however. Hint- it's someone who kept fairly quiet during the whole Trent Lott lynching.
Al Gore? The absentee slumlord who couldn't even carry the electoral votes in his own home state?
(if he'd gotten the Tennessee electoral votes, he wouldn't have needed the Florida votes to win. What is it his local constituency knows about their 'favorite son' that keeps them from voting for him?)
You're just acting out as the other extreme of the same tendency a few years ago to describe Clinton as a cum-blaster who'd plant his wick anywhere he could.
Your description of Bush and that description of Clinton are way overblown. (hmmm, pun sort of intended since I didn't backspace...)
I detest companies that use trademarked phrases as if they are scientific principles.
'ALT (Acoustic Lens Technology)' and 'ABC (Adaptive Bass Control)' sound like marketing buzzwords. Where's a peer-reviewed paper describing the phenomenon?
The technology might be cool, but this sounds like a verbatim fax from Bose or similar hype marketing outfit.
I've been hating Stereo Salesmen since first encountering the snide ignorant critters during my connector quests of the 70's. I stomached being in their presence a few years ago to replace my ailing Harmon-Kardon tube integrated amp with a new Yamaha unit, now I'm free of that B$ for 20 more years.
Sorry. We're not going to happily wave goodbye and cough at the plume of exhaust you pump in our face.
We're part of the planet. You're not an 'individual' who can up and leave any time you want. Until you can encapsulate the whole planet or build a tank big enough to drag a whole chunk of it off with you, you're stuck here too. So stop shitting on Earth, please. This ain't no 50's Space Western, and you're not going to beam up to your rocket ship and leave.
As soon as a connection is made, it's likely a log file entry will be made, hence data has been changed.
As soon as there is the slightest possibility that any data has been changed/compromised on the server, the entire cost of installing the whole system from verifiable distribution media becomes a cost. On most systems of any importance that will reach right up there and over the $5K limit.

This will become a high profile project. So it won't be at all the skunkworks project that the earlier rover was.
It'll be full of egos, and every department of NASA will want to be involved.
We'll be lucky if it even lands on Mars.
No. You need to keep going back 25,000 times to get the battery for free with your battery club card.
Or get together with 25,000 of your friends, all with the card.

Sorry. Different thing entirely.

So your weak historical analogy crumbles.

Well, ummm... you can drive places in your car.
Hopefully without running over little kids in the process...
And people who have a driver-viewable video display showing a program or a movie don't necessarily kill people. They just lower our taxes by paying heavy fines. Because there are many, many places where it's a moving violation to have a driver-viewable video display in a moving car.
As well it should be.
Now the pawnshops near the darker, more secluded phone booths will have better, cheaper prices on handheld devices and laptops.
Yeah, it's okay that Mozilla's free and may end up in perpetual development.
Anything not in 'perpetual development' is in 'decay.'
But what we've seen so far is a slow evolution with new features popping up here and there.
And your problem with this is?
No. Clearly, if we eliminate all government funding, science will stop dead in it's tracks.

I was thinking more along the lines of Ben Franklin, who lived in a democracy.
