True, but I was responding to an emotional post. Poster implied that suburban areas lack so much character that they depress people on order that exceeds the fears of living in a more dangerous neighborhood. I think it's obvious that there is more value to living in the city than just jobs, but my original point still stands... if the city scares you, move.
I've got an even easier one. Move to the damn suburbs. There's nothing of value in a city anyways, except for maybe a job in a neighborhood where you don't have to worry about muggers anyways. Then you go home at night to a place where you can leave your house and car unlocked with your ipod on the dash.
I do author in Linux. Just, using PHP + Ming SWF Output library. Sure, it's nothing near a real authoring environment... and DEFINATELY has it's drawbacks... but it gets me by.

Agreed. The first three are really just as hokey in many ways. I look at that idiot Jar Jar character the same way we should probably look at C3PO... a retarded tag-along character. The acting from Luke and the new Anakin are both piss poor, if you can look at them objectively. I think you're right when you say they're just overblown kids movies.
Ford went a different route on yah, they're making the Escape a hybrid now... or so I hear. Finally, a decent looking car that I only have to fill with gas once a month. I'd drive a Prius or something if they weren't so dinky looking.
The BBC said: "A lot remains to be done to convert our promising algorithm and experimental implementation into practical useable code. This includes optimization so that it can decode in real time.
Actually, the History Channel just ran a show that touched on missile defense systems. The concept is to target incoming missiles in their first two stages... during launch and in float before reentry. Of course, this was for ICBMs, but I imagine the idea is the same for lower trajectory objects. Exactly because of what you're talking about here. What this means for proximity of the laser system from the launch site, I don't know.
Just curious... who are we talking about here? Do we have someone with the addressed ballistic technologies, who also has a problem with us having a bad-ass defensive tool?
Worst case scenario, a country deploys a technology to directly interfere with our ability to defend ourselves from missile attack. Then we know who has a sincere interest in sending missiles at us in the first place.
Agreed. I've long since decided I will never buy another ATI product, even if people say there's Linux support. I spent weeks (on and off) following peoples instructions trying to get my 3d working properly on a radeon 7000. To this day, it has never worked right.
You may have been kidding, but I have the eluminX glowing keyboard... and you do see if crap falls in between the keys. In interesting experiment in keyboard gunk, whether I meant it to be, or not.
I'm definately still more worried about someone showing up at the storefront with six thugs behind him saying they have my girl in the trunk of their cadillac.
Although usually I think the misinformation set forth in slashdot articles is easily resolved by reading the associated articles, in this particular case I think the editors would be doing a great service to OOo to correct the article summary.
Some people, believe it or not, will not read the article and begin spreading the rumor that this very non-professional drawing is actually ->THE- official mascot of OOo. I think it's obvious that this could seriously damage the project's image as a serious, viable option for corporations.
When you say "did not wipe the drives"... does that mean they didn't actually remove the software? I have trouble believing that they'd try to level hundreds of thousands of dollars on a company for having 1 remaining dll hanging out on the machine.
An excellent point. I check out hardware compatability lists for hardware before I purchase. I remember the nightmare that was opengl on a Radeon 7000. I think as consumers become more capable, hardware manufacturers will have to accomodate.
Actually, I keep wondering about this drug I heard about years ago... I think it came from research at Purdue. They refused a dogs spinal cord with it. The interesting part was that they were saying the brain has a certain ability to relearn nerve pathways. Seriously, they showed a little dog dragging its lower body around, then walking along on all fours again.
Whatever it was, I was thinking, "Jeeze, I'm gunna live to see the end of paralysis."
I don't have a single pirated software package on ANY of my machines. What I'd feel bad about is causing someone in a poorer nation, or even in the US, some kind of grief over something like software piracy. I don't think software piracy is great, or even good... but I don't like people getting ridiculous fines or jail time over it either.
This should have been in the first, but what about in the U.S.? Would you want to help the BSA, or whoever, crack down on software piracy here if it forces people to seek out alternatives?
For giggles, I'm imagining droves of/.ers running to the BSA, trying to help out.:)

Interesting. Now if your theory is correct, wouldn't every HP printer ever made qualify as prior art?

Yeah. Must suck to have to mow your lawn EVERY week instead of dodging bullets. So depressing!

Interesting article....

Would you rather be the innovator or the copier? From a business perspective, I know which one I would want to be.

As soon as they start calling it GRID again. Sorry, just kidding.
Ford experimenting with that on an Explorer

It's Pornzilla
OK, lets not start changing the name "Mozilla" now too.

Cool, but let me know when it's done baking.
Thank ye, sir. Not the sort of line I expected to go over well on /., unless you're being sarcastic. :)

Get out... they released the source for 419 lead generators?

If they haven't started hitting Korea, they really haven't done shit, have they.
