There is no circumstance in US law where you would be required to admit guilt. You may be fined, imprisoned, or executed, but you will never be required to admit guilt, or to confess guilt to anyone verbally or in writing. Sometimes individuals or corporations admit guilt as part of a settlement or plea bargain, but it is never forced upon anyone.
So, you DO have equal protection (in this instance).
YMMV
It's okay. You can say 'p0rn' on slashdot. We won't think less of you.
BTW- the porn site likes windows better too, because he can hijack your machine as soon as you visit his page.
Popup windows anyone?
I have an Athlon XP in my desktop machine, and a K6-2 500 in the fileserver in my garage. The K6-2 was worth keeping. I have never had any trouble with it, and it keeps up pretty well with my applications.
I don't know any other way to get life out of 100mhz SDRAM.
What planet are you from?
The space race was, and is, a method for proving that your ballistic missile technology is reliable and well-established without sabre-rattling.
AND... China spent this money even though large numbers of people in their own country struggle in abject poverty.
AND...China spends a larger percentage of their GDP on the military than the US. According to the US government docs I could find, the US spends 4% of their GDP on their military. China spends 68-80 billion a year, which, although less money than spent by the US, is a significantly larger percentage of their GDP than US spending is.
You, sir, are a total jackass.
Has it completely evaded you that this procedure is BRAIN surgery which carries a certain risk of death or brain infection?
If a monkey is used, the risk of human death from the procedure's experimental nature is eliminated.
Are you one of those people who thinks animal life is equivalent to human life? Is it just the gimps who are equivalent to a rhesus macac? Maybe you value paralysis victims on the same level as the rhesus macac, but I value the human more.
Let me reiterate. Animals are food. Animals are sources of leather and potential subjects for lifesaving experimentation. I am not advocating wanton cruelty or unnecessary frivolous harm to animals, I am advocating non-emotional rational discourse. Your reaction smacks of self-loathing, like you consider yourself equal to a dog or a rat or a cockroach. Maybe you're right about yourself, but I object to being placed in that category you've made for all of the rest of us.
I had the extended 80 column display cartridge that upgraded the basic to v4. I could get a directory listing with the command "catalog" and then load"*",8,1
I typed that entire program (for the hot air balloon) in before buying my casette drive. It was cool. Don't make fun of it. It was the best instructional example evar. What was more fun was rewriting it AFTER getting a 1541 disk drive so that it would have cool rainbow effects and travel into the restricted area of the screen. I think I even made a reflection upside-down in the bottom of the screen once.
This is all so one-sided. Let's all talk instead about what would have happened, had Apple switched to the X86 architecture, shall we?
I think Apple would have lost control of their hardware, lost control of the drivers, and would be forced to give up, as their share of the marketplace dwindled. I think that without complete control over the peripherals, Apple would have had to negotiate with each hardware vendor, somehow coercing them into providing two driver sets, or making some sort of intermediary bytecode-like driver. Apple would slowly become Windows compatible. Windows would slowly evolve to run Mac software. Then Mac would be history, failing to compete in the price category. Apple would have to do just as much work as MS, but would sell 1/4 or less the number of copies. After a while we would have seen a true monopoly instead of a near-monopoly.
Discuss.
It's a little late in the game for this kind of second guessing. I think what Apple needs to do NOW is to do the port, sell the software, and see where the market goes.
I think he means why an add-in to KDE and not instead SVG support in X11. First SVG and then just OpenGL the whole thing.
All the eye-candy and 3D rotating desktop goodness you can stand. WHOOOOSH. I don't know how you code while your desktop is whooshing around, but maybe they could use it in Jurassic Park 4.
Think of all the desktop applets you could make that would deform the screen and make it all blister with heat when your CPU temperature got too high, or you could make the desktop zoom right at the user when an exciting I/O error occurred.
Yeah, that would be cool. Maybe you could use the DOOM engine to renice network processes too, or even the UNREAL engine! BAM! Take that!
I always wondered what happens in that DOOM mod when you die. Does the server reboot and respawn in another building?
I am a gamer, and I am unbelievably handsome. I am so handsome, in fact, that women cannot resist the overpowering urge to fellate me. Sometimes this becomes burdensome, such as when I am standing at the counter at Burger King and I can't reach the ketchup because of the woman fellating me.
Sometimes my foreskin becomes waterlogged and I have to stay home and lock my doors until I fully dry.
The problem is that as soon as I open the door, one of these nineteen year old college girls comes swooping onto my unit. It's embarassing. That's why I mostly stay in front of my computer all the time. No, really, that's the REAL reason!
I need a Quake skin and model of goatse.cx made so that the railgun fires out of the anus. At least nobody will sneak up and grenade me in the ass from behind. They'll have to be in front of me to do that.
I assume that when you suggest we all run around with visor displays on, that the running happens in the game world, and that the head turning happens in the real world. If that's not what you meant, I predict some nasty injuries due to stairs, walls, signage and railings on college campuses. !I totally agree that it would be fun to strap a display to my head.
I can't wait to play Rouge Squadron. The idea of starfighters in ladies' makeup interests me. Rougue Squadron, the one without the makeup, sounds pretty good as well.

Wouldn't SPENDING cuts be more fiscally appropriate than tax increases? I mean, the real problem here seems to be governments spending money like it has no value. The rest of us have to tighten our belts when money is scarce, but the governments of the world just keep spending it. I don't mind military spending, the space programs, but what about the James Byrd Library or the James Byrd fricking mini-mall? The fact is that most of the Federal US budget goes out the window to build shit most people won't see, and nobody will benefit from. When Senators stop pressuring Congress to keep unnecessary and redundant military bases open in their states, we'll see changes. Until then, what gives them the fucking right to ask us for even MORE money?
I hate all these stupid commercial product placements as well. At least with regular 30 and 60 second commercials, I can use my Sanyo VCR to "Commercial Skip" right past them. How can I avoid seeing commercials for cheap knock offs of the George Foreman Grill or the Ronco Electric Food Dehydrator if they don't break them into realistic time segments? Just the other night on Everybody Loves Raymond, Ray drank a Pepsi Cola right in front of everyone, which sucked because I had run out and had to run to Chevron Redi-Mart and pick up some more Pepsi in 20 oz bottles. Good thing they had been kept cold and were on sale this week for 79 cents each. The new Vanilla Diet Pepsi is way better than Vanilla Diet C*ke.
I hereby and forthwith declare my personal telephone handset to be a private network which is unavailable for public use. Any attempt to circumvent my nonexistant security measures will be prosecuted under Federal Law. The ringer mechanism, and associated hardware is OFF LIMITS to unauthorised personnell. Consider this to be public notice persuant to the DMCA and other laws applying to network and computer security. This device is listed as a class C computing device. Therefore, laws pertaining to private resources on a public network apply to my hardware and the ring signal detect hardware. From this day forward, none other than those I authorise may use that resource. I also hereby authorise my personal friends who are close enough to know my dog's name , the color of my car, and my children's current favorite colors to use my telephone between the hours of 10am and 6pm MST. Other use is not permitted, and is considered by me to be a criminal trespass in the fourth degree.
I am not kidding.
PSST- intelligent arguments, such as yours, are better suited to another medium. Do it again, and I shall have to mod you down as a troll, or offtopic or both.
Nothing in this law prevents a salesman from making sales. It simply allows those who have been bothered enough by telephone marketing to 'opt out'. Although it is convenient to compare an economy to an ecology, they are fundamentally different from one another. We can't really compare wiping out an economic sector to wiping out a species. (At least I think that's the parallel you were drawing.) In an ecological disaster, individual organisms are destroyed. Beavers cannot become antelope, so their contributions are gone. An economy, however, is made of malleable material. Investors can generally walk away from a telemarketing business without too much loss of capital, since most of their expenditure is rent and a telephone system. If the business declares bankruptcy, obviously the investor loses everything he hasn't withdrawn up to that point, but he isn't dead. He can switch tactics and invest in another business, or start another himself in another industry. Humans are the most adaptable species on earth, and certainly telemarketers are not greatly invested in their occupations such that a change of career would be impossible. Chicken little sonofabitch! (had to troll a bit there, sorry.) I just find all this hand-wringing over every issue just because the president has an "R" next to his name on the ballot to be tedious. In your case, somewhat well delivered tedium, but still overly pessimistic.

I had the same reaction. It's perversely astute of him to notice this.
I have all of these but really couldn't get anyting done without Bonzi Buddy also. Xupiter is nice, too.
Where have YOU been for the last 15 years? What he described parallels MS's strategy in the 90's.
