we have the technology to map the chemical composition of the surface of mars using satellites. i don't know why we don't have a similar set of satellites checking out earth for signs of nuclear material
that said, we could probably spend just a fraction of the $$ spent on a national missile defense system and use it instead to educate and give medical attention to the parts of the world that really need it. and do it in a way that can only be humanitarian. "kill 'em with kindness" aka "doing the right thing"
but, we'll have to wait for a heathen, communist, jesus-hating, left gov't to come to power to do it... i mean, the compassionate 'christian' right surely won't approve
oh, that's easy. you just didn't read the EULA. you own the little plastic disc, but the $19.99 you paid only entitles you to use the electronic bits stored on said plastic disc
people have come to the incorrect conclusion that these upstanding Christians were actually listening to stern
the fact is, they aren't. the PTC writes up some draft letter, and they send it out to their 'members', who basically just change the signature. there was an article in the nypost (i think?) about this just a few weeks ago
Before we trash everything Microsoft does as being downright evil with secret motives, it might be nice to consider that perhaps Microsoft IS doing something decent
ok, you must be new here. this is slashdot. microsoft doing something good, that just doesn't happen. don't turn our world upside down man
O&A the best? best at coming up with unoriginal shit maybe =)
Stern's show, OTOH, will be included in the monthly fee, along with being able to listen to a stream over the net... another additional fee w/XM
I have XM now, but am planning on getting new stuff for xmas (by way of selling my xmpcr for a highly marked up price)
also, sirius has 3 satellites vs xm's 2. both use repeaters, so same difference
AM and FM are so out of business in 5 years. i've driven to lake tahoe and denver (from phoenix), and with satellite radio, it was nice. if i didn't have it, i would have gone nuts...
try it out for a few months. it nothing happens, go look elsewhere. if they don't like it, remind them that they lured you to the position by making it appear to be full-time and they didn't hold up their end of the bargain. tough shit for them. it's part of doing business
I find it strangely funny that it used to be Republicans who wanted to be known as keeping gov't out of someone's private life
130 years ago it was the Republicans who pushed through an amendment giving suffrage to blacks
But now, it's completely changed. Republicans* want to tell us what we can and can't listen/watch on the radio and TV by saying something is 'indecent'. The RR/CC say gays getting married is immoral (as opposed to the respectable ~70% divorce rate amongst heterosexuals being moral). Now porn is worse than crack. Gays and unwed single mothers living with boyfrieds aren't fit to teach American children because they lack moral strength. They want to challenge the rights of minorities to vote in national elections.
*There are always exceptions to the rule. There are Democrats who support[ed] the PATRIOT Act. There are Republicans that actually want less gov't. But the fact of the matter is, right now, the RR/CC have the ears of most Republicans, and Republicans now control the Federal gov't.

of all posters, i was expecting you to chime in with the base-2 suggestion
tcvs (and i imagine tsvn) does exactly that. i've used tcvs for about 18 months now and it works great
i dunno. maybe kernel developers that need to test new kernels?
oh, that's easy. you just didn't read the EULA. you own the little plastic disc, but the $19.99 you paid only entitles you to use the electronic bits stored on said plastic disc
sounds exactly like greylisting in openbsd's spam deferral daemon, spamd
of course their lawyers are nit-picky assholes. what else did you expect? that they're good?

it's cold because it's winter (sorry southern hemisphere folks), not because hell has frozen over
just the end was affected. the correct version is
its potential for lawsuits from 'artist' organizations is enormous

... and I don't think the public has a "right" to know everything.'
that's bullshit. my tax dollars hard at work and yet i'm not able to see what's going on?
Sirius has the bad ass mascot tho

how about patching when you are sleeping?

theo in the same room as darren would be fun to watch. i bet there'd be a new entry for theo.c every minute

Wow ... I can't believe I'm actually giving the FCC a free pass...
The FCC somehow exerting some pressure has nothing to do with this.
The FCC does not prohibit the sale of devices. What they do prohibit is using the devices in a disruptive way.
It is perfectly legal for Intel to sell and give away the firmware. They are just bullshitting for various reasons.
It's much like P2P in a way. It's not illegal to make it, but some uses of it are prohibited (not that I agree)

There is a serious flaw in this reasoning; there is no legal basis for Kodak to sue end users over their use of the JRE or JDK.
with a stance like that, he's got my vote for being the top dog at either of the *AA
