And let's not forget that America is now infested by the descendants of terrorists who attacked the British King's legally appointed rulers of the North American colonies.
The phrase I like to use: "Illegal rebellion by profiteering ingrates against duly constituted authority."
And let's not forget that America is now infested by the descendants of terrorists who attacked the British King's legally appointed rulers of the North American colonies.
Dr. Criswell predicts that with this project, "the average American income could increase from today's ~$35,000/y-person to more than $150,000/y-person."
As an American, I'm happy to imagine my income going from "most affluent nation on the planet" to "even more affluent".
But as a human being I have to ask: what about the rest of humanity? Do they get a share?
Some able-bodies people ask, How come the paralyzed get cybernetic implants, and not me?
Answer: because the implants are dangerous new techologies, so let's begin our experiments with subjects who have so much more to gain, thus less to lose when things go wrong.
Catholics have been oppressed and scapegoated in England ever since Henry the 8th decided he wasn't getting enough nookie, and broke with the True Church.
Henry got plenty of nookie -- lots and lots.
What he didn't have was an heir to the throne -- a child (preferably male) born to a woman who happened to be his wife.
Then we will never ever see the question. Or was that your intention?
We might possibly see the question via Ask Slashdot -- isn't necessarily a dead letter office. Probably not: I assume that the editors get way more Ask Slashdot questions than they post, so it's likely that any given question won't get posted. But it could happen; and in any case, it is the appropriate way to initiate a new topic.
It's not my intention to suppress the issue. But I'm against off-topic discussion, because it dilutes the value and works against the spirit of topic-based forums such as SlashDot.
It's not clear at present that this is being done by anyone other than pranksters, but one can't help wondering, how long before commercial spammers catch on.
I wonder how many commercial spammers began their careers as pranksters...?
I would actually hope is *is* like Outlook. Outlook has a great user interface minus the damn IMAP pausing bug.
You're right, of course. Credit where it's due: Microsoft knows how to make interfaces, some of them are great. (Arguably, interfaces are Microsoft's main business: interface design is where programming meets content.)
When I said those Bad Things about Outlook, I was thinking of Outlook viruses... also, of course, the karma whoring -- backhanding a Microsoft product, easy way to get modded up Funny....
Make all 100 fight to the death. The top twenty survivors get to run the race. After all, we only want to send the best 20 -- let's find out which are really fit to survive in a hostile environment.
"To the victor go the spoils" -- a basic premise of evolutionary development.
And don't just select the cheapest twenty -- consider that survivability might outweigh cost, on a Mars mission.
Actually, the really interesting aspect will be analyzing the failure of those that make the top twenty but don't finish the race: lessons learned in vulnerability.
Granted, the fighting aspect won't be anything like cool, in comparison with proper robo-warriors. For a mission that we're launching against a planet named after a war god, we're really not trying very hard to actually attack Mars. But I'm sure we can all get a lot of laughs watching those explorer-rovers bump into each other until they somehow break down.
For example, after 9/11, engineers had a hell of a time figuring out the situation below ground level at the World Trade Center site -- people got hurt exploring down there. Far better to send in a robot.
Granted, this version of the robot isn't sufficiently capable, but future versions might well be.
... new policy of requiring all suppliers to use RFID chips in all goods supplied to the military by 2005, except on bulk commodities such as sand, grit or liquids.
Of course, with IPv6, there's enough IP addresses for all those particles of sand and grit. Not sure about the liquids, though...:)
Admit it. With the exception of Apache, Samba is the number one reason that Linux (and BSD, too!) has been able to invade the datacenters of companies the world over....
Perhaps we should call it Samba/GNU/Linux?:)

Quite right. Sorry about that, mate.

What does "seeing the shows" have to do with "sharing our thoughts"
That sounds like "read the f*cking article".
I think we know Slashdot better than that by now

Of course you should apply for a patent -- how else will you sue Microsoft for hijacking the grand plan

Re:Kontact: how much like Outlook
Not much at all. The applications in Kontact are not really integrated, they just live in the same window, sort of like tabs in konqueror and mozilla.
Thanks.

Just exactly how much "like Outlook"
God help us all if it's very much like Outlook!
Useful in dangerous environments.

Over 500 of the fish catalogued thus far are thought to be new to science.
Ah, but are these 500 species of fish new to the kitchen? And are they good eating?
I divide the world of living things (indeed, all things, living or otherwise) into two groups:
edible, and inedible.
Not a problem. The new IP addresses are represented using one digit, in base 2^128.
