What would be better would be requiring a Free implementation of said standard, and if $BIGCO doesn't want to (or can't due to other obligations) make their resulting product Free as well, they can pay a license fee. Just like all the other dual licensed software/source out there....
I would always turn *everything* all the way up, enjoy the eye candy for a few minutes, and then turn it all back down to max my frame rate and start playing for real.
The reason for this is that McAfee, Norton, etc. pay $OEM some small amount - say, $1 per machine - to have the base installed system leave the factory with a trial version of their program(s) on it.
This obviously doesn't work well with non-Windows machines, so for the 35 or so crap programs, cripple-ware, trial versions, etc. that would normally be on the system, said $OEM has to get that money back some how....
Yup, the GCA of '68 stopped importation of full auto stuff, and the "Firearms Owners Protection Act" of '86 stopped new additions to the civilian ownable registry for full auto stuff.
This. Add in xmbc on top of it, and you can be off and running.
I'd get back into the geek thing a little for setting it up - all a fairly well documented and straight forward process. I'd also look into using multiple physical disks and setting up a RAID array - hate to consolidate your stuff and then loose it to a hardware failure.
The only registration on a federal level is the NFA act, which taxes full auto, short barreled rifles/shotguns, AOW (any other weapon), suppresors, and destructive devices. Often called "class 3", each item requires a tax stamp before taking possession, which requires a looong wait (6-9 months), finger print card, passport photos, background check, etc.
Miller vs US was about the taxes, and the SCOTUS found that since the full auto rifle and short barreled shotgun he was accused of having untaxed was not "typical military armament" of the time (early 30s).
Except the way we do it the committee does all the interviews, etc. and then sends forward a recommendation... if hte Big Boss agrees, the offer is made. The Big Boss doesn't see anyone we don't pass on to him/her.
I disagree - and I'm in the same boat. We've had a few search cycles now, in our 3rd. First two ended due to a lack of qualified candidates.
Of our 8 person department, 2 of us are on the hiring committee. Other department chairs and AVPs make up the balance.
And yes, we need to be on the committee because we know what we do every day, and areas our prior boss both lacked and excelled in. We're hoping to keep the excelling part and get rid of the lacking part.
But... there is an issue of mercury poisoning... apparently what they've measured in larger top level predators like the snakes, gators, etc. in the Everglades is 3x the amount they deem "safe once in a while" for ocean caught/raised/farmed fish.
I've seen the sterotypical scene of a momma duck and her babies floating out along behind her, touring the pond in the shallows....
And then a big swirl, maybe a splash, and there is one less duckling in the parade...
Only difference is these catfish are going where they don't really belong to do it. I'm assuming that the same species in other locations doesn't display the same behavior on a fairly regular basis...
Interviews with you comprised a big percentage of the documentary Revolution OS.
If it were to be remade today, and the financial aspects ignored, what do you think would be different? If you were producing such a documentary today, what would you focus on?
Slashdot Mirror
except the complete canocial LOTR trillogy was written for *years* before the first frame was shot (or drawn in the case of the 1977 Hobbit)
Alien can go from any of 'em to any of 'em....
Quoth the man page:
alien [--to-deb] [--to-rpm] [--to-tgz] [--to-slp] [options] file [...]
Until, as someone said up thread, there is a set top box that runs linux.
Oh wait, the nmap scan I did against my TV shows it is running a Linux kernel !
Heck, Holder (and other heads of ATF and DoJ) make decisions that have the effect of law, banning importation of certain parts as "non sporting".
Worked pretty OK in 1946 - see the Battle of Athens, Tn
And yet, how well is the US Military doing against the Taliban, etc. who are also armed with mostly small arms and some improvised explosive devices?
makes me wonder how many here aren't old enough to know about Thurston...
But on that note, Ginger or Mary Anne?

Don't need one - the FOPA specifically addresses going from one legal area to another and crossing through an area where it may be illegal.
No, and there is actually a federal law about this.
And while we are asking, would you go after Ford to stop drunk drivers?

"If it doesn't cost you money, then you are the product being sold"
Or something like that... forget where I saw it though...
Or maybe just tilem, which is a TI-8x emulator ...

Yes, snake is good.

You should try here in the southern US... mid September you start getting more packet loss, but the packets that do make it thru are moving faster :)

When I can find a replacement for my Model M keyboards that cost $10-20, let me know... Have my original and 2 spares in the garage...
If you watch(ed) Revolution OS, I imagine his response would be the "whole hack that the Free Software movement is"
