No, people do not like interacting with CRAP systems. I bet that if those systems were more dynamic, and quick to use (ie. voice recognition for a start), people would be happy. How many times has someone not of your dialect came on, and you spend about 20 frustrating minutes telling them "I use linux. software no use"
I don't see how flash is overkill.. yes it is proprietory, but you can always make the swf using php like so:

In my school, there is a race to outfit every room with ceiling mounted LCD projectors... I've yet to see more than about 3 of them used, and over here at least they cost £1,300+++
Many of the teachers have laptops, but all you hear is minesweeper's beep coming from them every few minutes.
Some science teachers get us to do ppt presentations, but that's a 'treat'.
So, no our schools just waste money. The student pcs are about 155 mhz too...
I only drink fruit juice, milk and water (in that order of magnitude) and try to stick to eating fruit as snacks (not perfect tho:)), bursh every night and morning but still have yellow-ish teeth
Do not assume that everyone has naturally good coloured teeth
The poster says "At least they're actually thinking before they legislate, and it seems they're open for suggestions.", failed to notice they consider the DMCA 'thought out'..
hmmm... shit.

I didn't think PDA's were that durable though, especially in rough conditions with kids!
"Frankly, hacker challenges occur frequently, and we don't think they all rise to the level of a warning," Homeland Security spokesman David Wray said.
Yes this is/. but only flame the gov when you must.
In related news, the US has dropped millions of computers off to terrorist hot-spots. Military Analyists estimate Bin Laden will be bankrupted by the additional fees within 3 years.
Well, I don't know about wireless, but for normal TV, get an AGP card with a TV out and put it in the pentium, and then run that to a tv amp (the same as what goes to your terrestial tv aeriel), and run the outputs from it to your Tvs. Then just run what you want on that system. If linux was on it then just use X to display whatever it is from your workstations (assuming you have the bandwidth)
I personally couldn't live without my parallel port. Never mind printers and scanners, but think of the Coffee for god's sake! (I personally controll my bedroom lights via parallel port)
Isn't it obvious?
M$ is in bed with hollywood with the whole DMR scene. M$ go out and make proprietory systems and filetypes and put DRM in, then Hollywood hapilly comes along and makes everything in M$'s format. Now it's use M$ or not get the films, much like Blockbusters deals with Hollywood.
M$ wins, independants die.
That must have just slipped past whilst we all sit back and watch iraq being blitzed.

1) This is a problem. Perhaps just stop off at an atm after?
2) Stick $10 on a card and give it to her!
3) I generally know how much is in my account/wallet. I don't often sit and count it out
4) Transfer a dollar onto their card via an atm or computer tansfer thingy. Don't you ever give your kids a $20 note (I'm not US), and tell them to bring back the change?
5) It's the chip that matters, so you may be able to fix it too... You can't use a burnt dollar, you can't use a badly broken card. Anyway, my cards are just fine in my wallet. They seem to bend, not break.
6) Nope. It's a microchip, not a magnetic strip. They might be able to stic it into an eprom eraser (I'm guessing here), but then again someone can just dump your notes into some water, burn them, rip them up badly ect...
It's just like paper money, only tougher. You can rip it, destroy it, lose it and steal it. As far as advantages over plastic notes, this stuff is one simple card... I think this is more to replace notes than coins.

And you would complain they were a karma whore if they hadn't. I think it's quite good, entices one to read the article, thus helping inform us all!
Many of them left after GNUmeric (sp?) and other breakups, if you RTFA :)
Can't you imagine the name changes this would require?
GNUCash -> EulaCash
nah, that's twisted.
Did you have a look at KMyMoney? It may be good (I think GNUCash has slanted a bit towards acountants)
You mean anti-stars, like Celine Dione?

The ad would go like this:
"Sept 2005: Selene Dione has shot herself after plummeting sales revenue
Stop piracy before it's too late"
Or perhaps soon we'll have "Just 1 dvd a month can feed a stunt double"

Now we can all act out our favourite Highlander episodes, and score points. Neato!
And of course, video games do not effect children

BEAM stands for Biology, electronics, asthetics and mechanics
It is basically the name of a hobby about this very subject, taking trash and creating eye pleasing and working sculptures out of it.
A few links:
Solarbotics, a kit reatiler
A great site, full of links
A nice example of a BEAM robot
