and we had our first Christmas at school. My peers in the class were all talking about this dude Santa... when I got home I asked my dad that my class mates got their presents from a dude called Santa... My dad replied... "Son you get you presents from me and your mom. End of story."
Yes as a catholic the whole St. Claus is VERY different if taught the right way.
In any event I for one like the truth approach rather than some mumbo jumbo wool over my eyes carp.
Lying is never good but it is even worse to lie to kids. One just sets them up for one huge disappointment when they have to fly with their own wings later in life.
How will the be able to portray R. Daneel Oliwav and R. Giskard Reventlov and their brain wave mind bending of humans without it looking corny on screen BUT as amazing as it is written?
How will they portray the mule without it looking like a bad version of Alien?
How are they going to be able to flesh out the vast amount of social undertones that are perfused in all the books? Recently I have though "This is becoming like Trantor" when I see infrastructure "collapsing" around me in this real world we live in.
Heck 99% of the conflicts as I recall them are on the mental plane... from the start to mycogen and beyond.
They better be some spectacular screen writer adaptors to even scratch the surface.
Well one can always hope they kill off ActiveX now that everything is "primed" for silverlight... *coug* *cough*... old tech meet the new tech... at the end of the day same ole same ole.
What better way to get massive adoption of new stuff?
I just tried it on Fedora 10 x64 preview and on this site http://joecartoon.atom.com/ It is magnitudes faster than the nspluginwrapper "hack."
I would like to extend the thanks for the nspluginwrapper people for making it possible in the past and a big qudos to Adobe to make a native 64 bit version available for the present and future.
M as in murder... M as them being the mob or them feeling they are hit by mob mentality?
really... how many nails do Microsoft actually need in their stinkin' coffin?
I for one agree with Red Hat's approach on this...

one. It was pretty evident there was something being done because none of the update servers were available. By knowing this it was just a matter of minutes to realize that something fundamental was wrong. Me knee jerk reaction was to conclude that they had been compromised to some extent and that spawned an special hands-on audit on all of my systems running with any derivative of Red Hat. Less than a day after we get a post telling us that they are working on it... meaning it is deep and they haven't found the rabbit in the hole yet. For me this is enough information to go in "extra alert mode" on all my machines that would be in the realm of the same problems.
remote logins log checking being a mere fraction of the full audit.
What is the diff against Microsoft and similar? Big difference... I had the choice to compile my version of sshd (and other remote offerings) and prep it on the servers that I had that could potentially be effected by a bad transient build. I could do the diff between the updated packages if there was any, on source level. Maybe this is going too far BUT at least it gave me the option to do my stuff pre-emptively while waiting for the final dictum from Red Hat and their investigation. I call this Pro-active guarding.
Most likely... once all major customers had done something similar they were able to disclose a bit more of the problem.
If Samsung is willing to sell me a TV set that comes with... oh let say... 1000 Movies and shows already inside the TV cabinet then I wouldn't need no stinking player outside the actual display (assuming I could ask for which 1000 movies I wanted in glorious ultra high def)
Better yet if that TV costs nominally more than today.
Peh-lease mottafukhaz... Iz obvious that he biotching about having the moufie imbedded into the OLED dissplay izelf. One TV set per moufie... Samzung is da bomb man! Wherz the eff iz my wall striit crony.
Not wanting to diminish PKD and his outstanding work BUT Isaac Asimov's R Giskard Reventlov and R Daneel Oliwav were able to do this brain stuff too (telepathy.)
Actually one can most likely make a short awk script do do it... ok ok with possibly some OCR but still... who needs humans to do tedious work... this is the reason computers exist in the first place... to do mindless and mindnumbing work for us humans.
Sure... Anybody in a position where they can exercise any kind of power over anybody/thing should have one. CEO/CTO/CIO/C* and all others of the same ilk too.
A thought would be to have it connected to approval rating so they would be decapitated automagically once its below... oh lets say 25%.

Be like oil in the machinery rather than molasses. The best teams need the least managerial intervention. And oh yeah NEVER EVER micro manage.

CTRL-X 1|2|3 to divide the editing area according to wish. I simply can't live without this functionality.
Now if anyone makes a Firefox plugin making it possible to do the same in a web browser that would be friggin awesome.

There.
that's what they are hoping for.
Just close the casket already, we don't need Microsoft.
Eigen vibration galore baby! Deeep base.... VERY VERY deeep base. Cool.... Saturn is having a house party!

As a regulatory wouldn't there be some check and balances to keep critical systems being on their separate ring and not on directly interdependent?
This is beyond incompetence... it is gross negligence.
More importantly we will finally be able to play Crysis at a decent frame rate and quite possibly Duke Nukem Forever IV will be possible to do too.
