but that's because most of the apps I support are only supported in Mac OS 9, so I have to wait for the OS 9 emulation window to open up, slow, slow, slow.
A good test would be with native OS X applications, compiled for OS X and not just emulating OS 9, but that's going to take a while.
for in my parish counciling groups, I have heard some horror stories about anime.
There was one young woman from Scotland who's fiancee would only be affectionate when she dressed up as something called Sailor Moon, which is apparently an anime character.
There was another young woman who father would make her wear revealing anime costumes for something called cosplay, I wonder if I should have alerted the authorities about possible abuse?
I have counseled countless young, over intellectual men who have perverted their sexual mores due to extensive hentia watching, for those who don't know, this is the Japanese festish animation involving aliens, tentacles and sexual relationships under duress.
I wonder why kids can't stick with good old-fashioned healthy American cartoons like Bugs Bunny or Roadrunner.
which is manufactured in sweatshops in third world countries, like the Phillipines, from scrap wire, metal and plastic, so at least American doesn't get polluted.

Don't criticize Open Source software, it can backfire.
The Germans, French and Japanese are tending towards Open Source Software.
We can share some of our source code and make inroads on Open Source software.
All in all, a rather vapid document, but at least ESR restrained himself on the asides. Funny how losing 99% of your paper wealth can make one more humble.
It's a fairly simple technology progression, once households have progressed to outhouses, indoor plumbing, electricity, cable TV and TiVOs aren't far behind.
and the shadow of the Inquisition still lies in the heart of most devout Spaniards.
It lies outside the ken of most Slashdotters, but Bill and Melinda Gates have donated millions upon millions of dollars to third world charities devoted to killing brown children, err, I mean reproductive and sexual health. Most Catholics like children, and want to see more of them, so your typical Spanish Catholic feels a severe crisis of faith knowing that his money is eventually going to kill the unborn children of his faith, Going with Linux instead of MS is a way around this conundrum.
Speaking of Linux, I installed RH8.0 this weekend, and am posting this article from Mozilla. Perhaps I will be able to join my brethren and get rid of the Protestant, baby killing Microsoft.
for I have heard of nothing as addictive and will-sapping as Instant Messenger.
What, Adam, what about pornography?
While pornography is a sin, there is something about the instant feedback of an IM session that quickly dissolves one sense of right. If you look at a pornographic picture of a threesome, Satan may tempt you, but you are able to quickly dismiss him and delete that filth. But if you talk about a threesome on an IM, soon enough someone will also talk to you about it, and the two, or three of you quickly degenerate into very sinful talk.
Similarly, if you look at an unclad woman, you may feel some loin-stirring, but most men can quickly turn away. But, if you start to IM with a woman, you soon start to feel an emotional involvement, and you may find temptation outide your strength.
From my counciling groups, I have found that 70% of affairs have started via "innocent" IM chats. Anything that eases IM chatting, including a universal client, makes it that much easier for people to be tempted into sin electronically, rather than focusing on the hard work of making a real world relationship work (yes, I know it's Slashdot, but some of readers will eventually be in a real relationshop, heed these words so that you can make it work).
In my parenting workgroups, I tell parents to get rid of chatting clients; AIM, jabber, Yahoo Instant Messenger, AOL. I tell the same things in my engagement workshops. While the children and couples protest at first, years later they thank me. You will to.
Since I support some high end Solaris system, it would be nice to have something I can take to a clients site and show them exactly what we have, rather than some poor mimic running on GnuLinux/Gnome.
Additionally, when we set up our system for expos and conventions, it would be nice if we could do it with Solaris laptops, instead of packaging up our Ultra 2000s. We could set up as soon as we got in from the airport with the Solaris laptops in our carryon baggage, instead of waiting for the unionized setup people to finish their coffee, their Fantasy Football talk and their gutter sex talk before they deign to move three boxes for us, and then get back to their lazy ways. It's little wonder that the more unionized a country is, the less productive is, you could make a chart starting with Taiwan and ending with the relic of the Soviet Union, and get an inverse relationship between union membership and productivity.
So, yes, Taco and Slashdot crew, not everyone is satisfied with an amateurish linux powered hand-me-down laptop, some of us want the full featered enterprise set of Solaris, and some of work for corporations that will pay for a manufacturered install Unix, just to get 24-7 6 sigma support.
especially for something as real time intensive as multimedia software. You need to be a proficient, educated coder and write highly optimal code if you want to make improvements to Real Player, we've all seen the jaggies, blur, blocks and skipped audio resulting from poorly written multimedia code.
So, yes, this is somewhat significant, but if you think your garden variety basement Linux hacker can go from Recipe Blaster 2000 to writing good codecs, well, I need only remind you the chaos that resulted when Luther decided to publish source code.
what does that say about one's state of grace? As a Catholic, I recognize the sinfulness of pornography (in most cases), yet, when I refuse to succumb to the lure of such lurid depictions, I triump over sin. I would not have that opportunity if my interent connection was filtered, and I would eventually have a weakened moral system.
The Vatican has one of the world's great collections of erotica (for research purposes), and you would be very hard pressed to find a more moral, less sinful group of men in the world.
as Catholics are in the UK, and to a lesser extent in the US, it tends to become a focal point of your personality.
I wish there was less persecution, but those heretical Protestants know that they're Hellbound, and take it out on those of us who belong to the True Church.
I'm sure all the nuclear scientists think that they've got the equations modeled right, but I'm sure most of you who've programmed have felt that way, until you tried to compile and execute your program (real programmers, I'm not talking interpreted baby languages like Basic or Perl), and then you were amazed by your simple syntax errors, and astonished by your modeling misconceptions.
Basically, Sandia is betting the safety and sanctity of the Free World on computer simulations, while across the oceans, Godless Commies are building and testing their nuclear arsenals using the low tech, but proven method of blowing holes in the desert. Just like the SA-80 vs. the Ak-47, given the chance against untested high tech and proven low tech, the low tech wins in the beginning stages (Which is all the we would have in nuclear war).
Please, contact your local senator and representative, explain the dire need for the US to resume nuclear testing to prove that we have a valid, proven deterrent. We may nuke a few more Nevadans and Utahians, but they're dope-smoking whores and heretical polygamists, respectively. It's better that we detonate a few nukes, than rely on unproven simulations and end up being ruled by inscrutable atheistic Chinese overlords in a generation.
Sure, you can find a few statistical correlations between a few very dangerous diseases and genetic markers, but as the story points out, they still don't know enough to say for certain that a person will get breast cancer at age 47 1/2, or have a heart attack at 53 while climbing 3 flights of stairs.
We don't know enough about the genetic code yet (whether we should even try to learn it is another debate, you need only look at how Western Society has been damaged by the results of invetigating the poor fertility of yam-eating Mexican Indians) to do more than rough guesses that are about as accurate as asking about your families medical history.
If you want to live longer, eat right, exercise and don't smoke. I'm sure our Pope will soon ban this useless exercise, anyhow.
If you had read the article, you would realize that they are trying to read the reflected cell tower radio waves and make a radar picture out of it. They already know they reflect, the rest is just engineering.
The UK has discovered that radio waves can go through walls now? You mean I no longer have to go outside to talk on the cellphone? Will wonders never cease.

as we will bow to Our Lord's wishes, and have lots of children to fund our retirement and pension funds. Plus, if you raise your children right, they won't put you in a government controlled euthanasia, err, nursing home.
Plus, there's the eternal damnation thing awaiting all the pagans and heretics, too.

But, I guess these hacker sorts, like Protestants, feel free to misinterpret Our Lords words in any manner they see fit for their own selfish gratification, it doesn't cost them anything to piggy back on someone elses wireless access costs (well, except for eternal damnation).
Right now, Time-Warner is offering Digital Video recording with their set top boxes, if they can seamlessly intergrate that with their regular cable and make it much easier to use than a Tivo, for the same price point, good bye Tivo.
It doesn't matter for me, though, I have my VCR programmed to record Mother Angelica every day.
