I myself have over forty free AOL CDs tacked up on my wall to serve as a mirror.
No, no, no, I think you are being slightly confused, that is not the way, AOL CD's are not an effective way to create a mirror, if you want to find a proper way, look here
, which should take you through the necessary steps to build the AOL server for your mirror.
Now, if someone could get this Apache to stop serving pages and get me a goddamn drink, I would be happy.
No, and remember the way to destroy that evil Microsoft corperation is to buy the arcade cabinets and then don't buy any games for it, that'll teach 'em and their evil ways.
Oooh, and when you have bought one of their cabinets, don't put any money into the slot, that'll really throw them into the evil pit of despair that is bankruptcy.
And lets just outline the five major things that the GUI needs to do:-
1. Open a file
2. Move a file
3. Delete a file
4. Copy a file
5. Other stuff and fluff
The first four points using a mouse interface have pretty much been covered in the most energy conservative manner possible in the general windows/Mac convention, and lets face it point 5, is just that, other stuff and fluff.
That's pretty much what I've thought, I'm coming from a programming perspective, and a lot of the time I've seen someone elses code being oompletely changed simply becuase the style has been different to what the new coder is used to.
So the code has essentially been completely rewritten to acheive what is inherently exactly the same, just with a different stance on it, i.e the wheel has been rebuilt.
I think it would be interesting to see how many times this happens. I personnally apply much of your logic whenever I come across an app I have to debug, though I always have the temptation to simply rewrite it to my style.
I've always wondered about this, I mean could it be that most of the time you are cleaning up a previous admin's work simply because they have a different style of work practice, i.e it's neither better nor worse, just different?
Just wondering whether the behaviour is similar to the cellular automata described by Wolfram's
book. And if not, how are they different, indeed how is the swarming behaviour any different from previous neural network work, as from what Eric Bonabeau was describing, they seem to be very simialr.
So Intel are going to give me a graphical interface, nice. The question is, and here come the obvious:-
1. Will it run Linux?
2. What games are available for it?
3. Will it be Open Source?
4. Will it be called BIO$?
5. Will it . ..fill in your own inane comments. ..?
The alternative to AOL isn't more sophisticated, it's less.
I take it we're talking about the technology behind the interface here, in which case I would agree with you whole heartedly. My point was purely based around the fact that people now have a more intuitive grasp of what the internet is.
Its much like any new technology, the first time its introduced there is a need to demonstrate why it would be useful, and once we are used to the technology we are more curious as to what can be done with it, and thus require more freedom to use it. Hence the demise of the value added content of AOL.
I do like your analogy to a utility supplier, in which case will there be a tendancy towards a monopolistic entity, and will this be adverse to our current freedom of sharing of information?
The question remains though, did AOL get everything they deserved because of providing an easy to use service and not moving with the times, or providing an easy to use service and not feeling the need to be moving with the times? i.e not recognising the need to
How does a company recognise the time when the general populace becomes au fait with its product, when does the populace not need hand holding any more and instead needs something more significant, more sophisticated? It must be a very hard thing to judge, something that Microsoft will need to take into account, indeed something that every technology based company will need to address
True, we can supposedly only change the form of energy, however I think what is meant is that this energy will be spread more thinly around the universe. So eventually there is not enough to sustain our life.
Howver I seem to remember in the New Scientist there was an article which stated that the Universe may well collapse despite the evidence of dark energy.
In the UK, there is a huge push from sky to sell its Sky + service, which is the main competetion for Tivo here. Haven't actually tried the Tivo, but Sky + is an extremely competent package.
China is planning on becoming a lot more active in space shortly. I sort of feel this will give the US a huge incentive to give more funding to NASA, there's nothing like competition to get the money pumping in.
Theres an interesting comaprison between the benfefits that Red Hat perceives that can be gained through taking their course and Microsofts idea of the benefits you get for its MCSE.
Its an interesting contrast of philosophys, Red Hat stresses its IT benefits, whereas Microsoft seems to stress the special offers that come free with the course.
Apparently you get a free badge with the Microsoft cereal, I think I know which one I'm going to be buying.
Slashdot Mirror
Pfff, I'm only going to be impressed when its 4 hours of quality DVD movies.
I know its just a trial but are there any predictions/guesses out there of how this type of network will cope with more than one user?
Or alternately Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, for a more comprehensive view.

Indeed, try the Doom II Goldeneye mod. It's nearly playable.

Whoops, wrong link, need more sleep.
I recomend, perhaps this book.
I don't like the look of all those Centaurs, still, at least there ain't no Cockatrices.

Ahh, I take it your English, as far as I know, Australians appear to have solved this particular game.

Besides, "C Pound" just sounds stupid.
I don't know, sounds like Microsoft's lawyer's usual tactics.

I seeing hate that thing
Me no function beer well without
Or use the ST on a PC, even has a Linux flavour

That being said, does anyone know of a Jaguar emulator out there?
The only one I know of. It appears to only being built because of the classic Tempest as well.
Sounds like life, I haven't bought another one yet. Actually can't afford to, but thats beside the point.
