If the dmca is ever overturned then we can port linux to pallidium and the xbox without a mod chip and ms wont be able to do shit.
Somehow I don't think that this will entirely be legal, but it won't be illegal under the DMCA, and thus hopefully give a little more wiggle room for the eventual legal battle over "hardware protectionism".
Those voice-boxes for throat-cancer patients that enable them to speak with a deep voice will now need to protected with government approved anti-copright protection.
He opens the tomb, instantly concludes that it is a 4,500 year old bones.. Where's your evidence?
The guy also said he wants to protect the pyramid, so they only drill a small whole in, rather then knock the door down. But with the coffin, they open it, breaking seals and everything.
Zahi Hawass is a political historian... He believes that the "ancient" Eygptians were great, did it all themselves... Personally I await them discovering a German engineer who planned the thing, the aliens that helped lift blocks, and the Stargate eventually.
Seriously, look at the modern Eygptians and their ancestors... Nothing has changed in 4,500... If anything their society has progressed backwards thanks to their religion... So please save this superior Eygptian culture bullshit...
They couldn't have built them! Because they couldn't build them NOW (without Western technologies).
Here are more beer pots... They must of contained beer...
And, look at the fingerprints... Surely Eygptians built this... My question is, wouldn't they have done their best to make sure flat surfaces were just that, flat, and free of fingerprints, because I would think fingerprints would make the thing look ugly.
Next point which really got to me was the fact that NO SLAVES were used and that it was a labor of love... That's such BULLSHIT. The evidence presented allows one to conclude several facts.
1) There was good food... Meats, fish, probably fruit. BUT was there enough for all? This I doubt. The better food was either a reward for the most productive teams OR for the skilled workers.
2) There were dorms... But only for about 2,000... This would mean an estimated 23,000 had to sleep elsewhere... Again leading to a conclusion of two or three possible workforces.
3) "Advanced" medical surgery was available... BUT for who? The skilled workers or the slave mules?
My conclusions... 1) There were slaves, used as mules to get the stones into near position. 2) Skilled workers positioned blocks accurately, these would receive the medical treatment and better accomodations. 3) Managers... All factories have them, why wouldn't the "advanced" Eygptians... Of course managers and overseers would be taken care of.
Better food was used for feeding the skilled and managers, and used as a reward for top performing slaves...
You sure about this... When I was in Europe, I had to pay to take my shits... I also had to pay for water at a restaurant, ketchup at McDonalds, etc.
I think by charging for the access, they encourage people to LEAVE.. after all 1 cup of coffee doesn't cover the space the person occupies for 2 hours of web surfing...
Well I have been in 3 different degrees, started with ComSci, liked it, then we had a strike which screwed my progress because I really tanked two courses badly...
Good luck I got accepted into Education, but then found out that I would need an honors degree to teach ComSci at high school... and that wasn't cool, with that level of education, why would I only teach... So I got out of education and headed back to ComSci...
But because scheduling conflicts I was unable to get into courses I need (stupid ComSci department), so I took History courses until I could get the needed courses...
Then I took a year off to work, which turned into 2, which then I finally returned back, and am now finishing my History degree...
Do I appreciate education... Yes, do I have real world experience... Yes... Am I set for a good job... I sure hope so.

This story will be on Slashdot again...
.Com bomb has finally exploded, fewer geeks will be having sex...
I predict that now the
Hookers can be expensive. Especially ones that will dress up like Japanese schoolgirls.
There already are... Just ask the:
- Automotive industry
- Dock workers
- anything with manufacturing that can't be done cheaper in the 3rd world.
If you can buy a robot to send to work, then your boss can buy a robot to save you having to buy one.
WHY don't they look for them? Cams aren't the smallest of shapes, a little enforcement of theatre policies would go a long way.
Also, who says flickering monitors don't cause eye damage? Just because we can't easily see it doesn't mean our brain doesn't.
Stop fscking with my eyes!
ROT13 all of my research data.
yes... but only the government and criminals...
its a secret... we have lost our rights!
Maybe the next RedHat won't include Iraq as even a country.... Or put a nice US flag beside it.

Mod up... that was funny...
Who are they? And what did they do that makes them famous?
Well make sure that is what the contract says.. Otherwise you are out of luck...

Beats me... I don't know your mama!

This mix-n-match possibility is really one of the great strengths of OSS.
And it will also be its downfall... Spending thousands of hours to ensure compatibility will kill projects...
it was a penis joke... How can it be interesting... Unless that is funny...

Germany... Yes... It was unnecessary to be that cruel...
Japan? That's harder, since they should have surrendered immediately! Also had Stalin not started to move, they could have waited another 24 hours...
Do you know when the 3rd atomic bomb was dropped on a civilian population?
There wasn't one... Because deterence was able to work after Stalin saw that his ass could be vaporized!
