You can cram a copy of war in peace in your pocket when you head out to take a shit at work. With my palmpilot, Sony TH-55, I can carry a whole library off to the crapper and no one bats and eye.
There are no stars in the sky because the stars are to faint to be photographed with the settings on the cameras they used in the apollo missions. The same effect can be seen in photos taken from Earth. Take your camera outside one clear night and snap off a few pictures of the night sky. Once you get the film devoloped you will notice there will be no stars.
Better yet just buy yourself a goat. Self programming and mostly self maintaning. Very ecological and as a plus it can give milk. and at the end of the season you can celebrate by bbqing the fucker.
You can see this in modern cd players too. I have a 2001 mit. with the factory cd player in it. I can burn a cd at 16x and it will play fine. But the same player will not play a cd burned from the same batch of blanks, burned in the same writer, with the same software if that cd is burned at 48x.
Technical solutions to a problem that shouldn't be a problem are fine but I would prefer the direct approch myself.
Spammer sends spam. You accept spam. Track down spammer and rearrange his personality by rearranging the bumps on his head. With a blunt Instrument of your choice. I would think a trumbone would do nicely but in a pinch a tuba would suffice.
I think we can safely say what ever creditability SCO had left has been shot to hell in a handbasket after this. Not that I'm implying that they had much left.
I, at least, have never heard aniyone describe an alient encounter as religious.
Your not hanging with the right group of nuts. Got find a crop circle and stand in it. Soon or later the right crop of loons will show up. Just make sure you hid the yard roller.
Or how about we uncover a alien artifact in the desert that allows almost instant transportation between starsystems. The US government hides it under a mountain, telling no one. We upon they engage in a secret war with alien overlords that come to earth 10,000 years ago, built the pyramids, pretended to be gods, where upon they kidnapped millions of early humans, and spread them to the stars across a million planets to be thier slaves and worshipers. Were upon the alien overlord, who forgot about Earth, try to destory us several times with overwelming technology, who they themselves stole, only to be prevented by one or two crack commando teams who save the planet by the skin of thier teeth, at least 3 times a week... twice on Sundays.
By the way did I mention the alien overlords are really just parasitic worms that need human bodies for hosts? Sounds like a TV show are something.....
Sorry to bust your bubble dude but it's toast after the end of season 8. I think, it was supposed to be done at the end of season 7 but they trotted out the 'suitcase full of money' to get one more season out of them to led into SG-Atlantis.
I love SG-1 since I first started watching it. The only reason I had showtime was for it and when it left Showtime for SF channel, I dropped showtime. I think the sets might be reused a little to much. I mean I think I've seen that road thier own before and I think they shot that Jaffa in the last sciene. But still the show does have some good stories, good acting, and some degree of continuality.
I'm worried about this led of into SG-Atlanatis though. When a show is kept around just to led into a spin off, it usually jumps the shark and goes back for seconds. Don't have much hope for the spin off ether. Spin offs by nature tend to suck, but I'll give it a chance.
That is a very good point. My tivo will record an episode of Enterprise every now and then. It seems to like the show. When ever there is nothing else on or it hasn't captured a few episodes of Night Court, I'll let Enterprise play in the background.
The more years go by the more rights and protections we see stripped from us. This law is just one more step in the erosion of those rights. There once was a amendment proposed that would simply state that no treaty or law of any foreign land could strip a citizen of any rights written in the Constitution. If that amendment was in place none of this could happen.
Seems to me most of this could be fixed with a simple application if printing paper recipes. I know that the ideal would be to get away from paper but I don't think it will ever happen. I would see these machines printing 2 recipes. One to go into a box at the voting office so audit of the machine can be done there. The other would go to the voter. So in an extream case a recount can be done by having people bring thier recipes in for a recount that way.
The last I think would be extream and there would have to be laws in place to prevent abuse.
How can they fuck this up so bad? It would seem like a prefect example of bring together tried and true technologies and using them in a new manner. I don't see where any new technology would would be deveoloped for this.
When will these fools ever learn? This is already dead technology before it hits the streets. They kill file sharing apps such as kazaa people will just move on to something else. They still haven't even address the old techonologies yet. You can still download shit from usenet all day long.
I bet any changes that are done will be nothing more than a new protcol with the old one wrapped around it. To much shit to change, we're stuck with the one we have and you have to admit its pretty damn good.
A couple years ago during my peace corp. days I did some relief work in India. We started in Calcutta and worked our way down the coast and wound up in Hyderabad. While some of the courntry was beutiful the rest of it wasn't that great.
I think the worst time we had was with the local governments. We would try to get relief supplies in to where it was needed only to have it delayed for no other reason that for who it was going for. The poor and lower castes. We would get shipment of persable food in only to have some "police chief" hold it up until it rotted just because he did like who we where helping. It was all racest and biggoted.
While I was over there I was also under the impression that the central government wasn't all that stable ether. We would get premmission to be someplace only to be told to leave by local athorities. When we told them we had premission from New Delhi most of the time they would just laugh. "The are their, you are here." Sometimes they would dare us to report it and the times that we did the basic reponse from the capital was, "oh well."
I would be a bit skitish about shipping my companies IP property to a county with a govenment that barely has any control at all. I doubt there is much they can and will do in case you are ripped off. I wouldn't put to much in to any privacy information that gets processed there. Thier culture is too different. IP and privacy are a forgien concept to most of the people working there.
I'm willing to bet it will have more effect than you are giving credit for. Most of the spam on the internet is cause by a realitivity small group of people. Taking down even a few of them might make a noticable impact.
Sorry, buddy but I'm not going to agree with you ether. It's not my job to police other peoples machines. Owning a machine on the internet is like owning a dog. When you get said mutt, you learn to feed, water, and walk it. You also learn to clean up after it. The same is said about having a computer on the net. If you can learn to clean up after you have no bisness on the net.
I would have to agree, this is utter horse shit. No drive manufacture would release a 500 GB drive as a 250. Hell, if they had the process to make 500 GB harddrives they would be flying this fucker from they highest flag pole to see who saluted.

Yeah, right.. Dude you where in the computer lab to long, just like I was. There was a keg party going on somewhere, you just didn't know about it. :)

Or in my case was attacked by a pack of french grammer nazi's and is just not getting his this low number account back into service.
Tradition. If anything navy's love is tradition. I'm willing to be that had a lot to do with the decition to use a wooden wheel.

The Tivo and Replay are pretty cool but what about the ability to capture HDTV? All this is pretty useless to me until it does.
Is this the same group that put out that book The millinal Project or how of colonze the galaxy in 1000 years?
