Seriously, amiga was great, and all us amiga geeks should have stoned Prudential to death because its that Ali guy who killed it.
Maybe microsoft/apple paid millions to kill it. The strong survive, even if the strong are dumb and kill the best.
But 2007, and todays video cards etc... are a trillion times better.
What the amiga guys failed at is not open sourcing the OS back when linux took off, in 1995. People did ask for it. It was obvious, they just had to pretend they had value.
The true value is in building a market, a WORLD, not the actual world.
The only future amiga has is the embedded world, it can do magic in low ram/cpu speeds which today are 10-100x the speed of 1992 Amigas.
On a past view moment thought.... the amiga hardware was basic, in terms of features and transistors, but it did just enough trickery to achieve enough magic. It could have been easily copied and enhanced.... i mean seriously is a D2A convert with DMA that hard to make in 1989 ? 2000 gates at most. Its just that most combos of hardware/software dudes didnt see the benefits.
So even the real poor, are so dumb they rather not buy a $5 CFL, compared to 50cent bulb??
Stop buying that liquer or smokes for 1 to 2 weeks. You can always take the CFL with you when you leave to a better place. Buy a 6pack of 15watt traditional incand to piss of the landlord too.
The amount of winners is trivial to the tax office, in takings, why the rules to STEAL the dollars? Are they that despereate for money, ask the fed. Damn frikkin loosers
FACT 1: 100% of citizens income taxes are used to pay back interest on govt loans, ie the govt debt.
NONE IS USED FOR PUBLIC SERVICES, so any moron saying that paying taxes helps public services IS MIS-INFORMED!!! and an IDIOT and STOOGE of the GOVT.
If the govt didnt BORROW so much through tbills/bonds then we wouldnt NEED ANY TAXES AT ALL, but then most people wouldnt find the need to work would they.
The govt as per old 18century govt LOVES SLAVES, it hates IDLE PEOPLE, LEARNING freedoms.
The kooks are finding 'kooky' reasoning from 'official sources' like the UN, who might ignore the 13th century heat spike in the mainstream commercial graphs and diagrams.
The kooks might only be saying, "hang on, are humans the 100 cause or perhaps 50% or 5%?"
The kooks are saying that official scientific results are very weak and unprofessional given the bad record keeping of past or perhaps amaturish recording, temperatures in CBDs and urban areas are not reliable since theres a lot of local heating so they should be taken lightly and be skeptical.
All kooks are saying is... "oi mr scientist, i though you guys were really skeptical so start being analytical not political"
Everyone knows that if you request a research grant to study alternative causes to global warming youre funding will be zero and your job status nil. Be it stars or magnetic causes or cosmic rays or gamma ray bursts or suns output changing.
All kooks are saying, is BE MORE OPEN, not CLOSED MINDED.
Back then the amiga was king, nothing apple did was better than amiga.
Amiga had better graphics (which in hindsight a good engineer could have copied easily)
Amiga had all the hackers - now they work for sony , ie ps3
Even back then, amiga emulated (ie via rom) the apple faster than what apple could do, ie it hacked the macos roms to achieve async IO to make it run faster than ANY apple ever at that time.
Apple reps/engineers were stunned , probably because they were too spec centric and not 'gung ho' hacker types.
The govt is just like the mafia, beating me with a baseball bat till a pay up!!
Coz if you dont pay, they will fucking kill you, because the govt IS LIKE the devil
MONEY is more important than LIFEs, which is really dumb, since money has NO VALUE, its made out of thin air by the PRIVATE federal reserve, which is 100% private, by 12 central banks, including your evil Jp Morga/BA, etc....
Will the fucking govt just fuck off, if someone doesnt pay tax, LEAVE THEM ALONE, its not worth it, go sell some more BONDS, if you are that fucking desperate for more money you damn assholes. Oh and get a real job, rather than work the damn tax dept.
Oh btw, mr tax man, there IS NO LAW saying you have to pay TAX, there is NONE, so stop fucking people up with the damn mighty law enforcement of a GUN!!! Go away and die, I hope jesus comes back and turns you all to dust!!!
GOLD IS REAL MONEY, FDR notes are just ass paper!!
1) methane and water vapor are 10-20x more effective, co2 is like a 486 to a P4. 1b) Venus is hot because of the suns rays eh? Well, its clouds are so thick, less than 30% get to the ground, thats hardly very warm, even the air at 30km altitude is about 25c. Excess IR radiation cannot leave, thats why its hot. Its basically like a tin foil planet.
2) Cows make more, planes make a lot. Coal mines make heaps. Melting arctic is releasing massive amounts, which might dwarf 100 years of earth emmisions over the next 10 years, lots of methane there in the tundra/peat moss etc... Cars are a nightmare I agree, its the most inefficient system of travel, hey lets get 2million people using 2 million cars, instead of 2 million people using 6000 trains. I say outlaw using cars to get to work, and outlaw cars to get into the city, unless you live there, or its for delivery purposes or you're disabled, or buy a permit.
If the pentagon goonies can crack down terror cells in an instant, why cannot they analyse all the bots in the world and their traffic logs and figure out who makes and distros them out so they can go out with some navy seals to take out the authors.

Basically...
By Jan 16, the effect of forward scattering will have dropped back to about zero and the comet will already be heading away from the Sun and Earth; back to the obscurity of the Oort cloud. Although now clearly fading, it will be moving higher into the southern sky away from the sun. At sunset on the 16th, the comet will be about 10 degrees from the sun and just left of directly above the Sun at sunset. It will set 54 mins after the sun, 9 degrees to the left of the sunset point.
From Jan 17 onwards, the comet, although fainter, should be well visible in the darker skies. It then moves into the SW sky at roughly a 45 deg angle up to the left of the sunset point. The angular distance of the comet from sun at the time of sunset from Sydney then increases on a daily basis:
Jan 17 12deg
18 15deg
19 17deg
after which date the head of the comet will set when the sun has already passed more than 18 degrees below the horizon (astronomical darkness).
modern embedded devices are more powerfull than 2001 mobile phones.
Modern 2007 phones have cpus on par with say 2001 desktops, 600mhz. Ram is easy to go up to 128meg, its not like it takes lots of room these days. Because the screen is smaller it has less to render so it can do it easy, try setting a slow ass 300mhz ppc mac to 320x480 and see how fast it is.
Hell its a good starting point for development, make a prototype work in X hd space and so much ram, ie the very first ibooks in the same res, 320x480 cropped on the 640x lcd.
I can create a 600meg bootable cdr OSX today, theres a program that does it for you.
And after that its easy to trim things down.
Getting it fast is another story, though it was decent on 600mhz PPCs, being a smaller screen it should be easy, especially with 99% of services not running/installed like printer/ samba / sshd etc.
The boss promising the programmers that MAKE THE REAL WORK, "dudez, you guys will be driving the porsche boxters soon, we'll give your 3% share in the company"
But that 3 gets dilluted fast after your share goes to the VC, to the lawyers, to the bosses mom! and relatives.
Oh sorry, during the 4 years, we made ZERO PROFIT, so there goes your share too. Yeah we spent all the profits on lawyers securing a corporate take over!
Slashdot Mirror
It will be worth billions.
If it fails Ill make one called ESC - the cool gaming center
and then F10 - the place for strippers
and then SPACE BAR - the place to get drunk at
and then ALT KEY - the gay night club
its like a long lost love when you were 13yo
Great at that age, but illegal today!

Theres less than 10-20 miles of hard rock between us and liquid gold, ie molten metals.
Its like living on hard dirt floating on water.
It might look safe, but hey, its all still active, not as bad as Venus, but worse than Mars.

It doesnt matter that australia doesnt sign, we make .1 contribution.
We make less pollution than all of Shanghai/Beiging put together.
Total green house gases per person is not meaning full for small populations.
At least we dont eat whales like the ps3 fan bois.
Face its too late,
You cannot have a global populate grow from an average of 500million over 100000s of years, to a massive 6 billion with out either...
a) massive climate change
b) massive populate deaths due to not enough food/weather/disease.
It will happen.
Ever tried putting 1000 fish in a 5 sq meter fish tank, THEY MOSTLY DIE!!!!
100% blame goes to pure capitalism which has no idea on the laws of physics. You cannot grow 20%/yr FOREVER!!!

What happens when lots of politicians and lawyers and respectable people get infected?
Will they be treated nicely, because they have nice $500/hr lawyers?
Or is this maybe a fbi bait and trap trick?

Now re Gold, wow thats like 350%
So if GOLD is REAL MONEY, then yeah, its closer to 400%
