War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
-- John Stuart Mill
Having nothing for which you are willing to fight for is different than not wanting to fight because nothing is currently worth it.
If something threatened, my freedom to complain about how the government is run, and how they like to take our military all over the world to do things I don't like, etc, then I'd be willing to fight.

How bad is it that in the palladium future, open source software won't be able to use palladium 'enhanced' content?
I personally haven't purchased any new media content in about a year, and thats not because I've been stealing it, its because I'm happy enough with what I have. Palladium won't make my cds break, or my dreamcast stop running, or stop the games in debian from being as fun as they are now.
I read two of the articles, and they don't answer my question of how is this useful?
The construction of the tokens is fairly random, so its not know what the results of X angle on Y token will result...
Another comment mentioned that they may do prescans with a trusted scanner, but then every scan by an untrusted scanner must be discarded... so each token is only valid for some limited number of untrusted scans.
assuming you're quoting the law correctly (which I have no reason to disbelieve, I'm just lazy and being semi-complete)...
It is fairly obvious that payment (a property) could be obtained by the threat, and that the goal is to obtain the property.
However, the use of fear must be 'wrongful', which is of course debatable. I personally would not consider it wrongful to let someone know that they are past due on payments, and if they do not become current, you will report that to various people (including presumably the VC and possibly a collection agency)
Of course weather or not it was wrongful will be up to a jury to decide.
youch... i have a k7s5a at home (i'm at college), i hope it doesn't do any welding.... after updating the bios it seemed to run stable before i left it with my parents.
Hah... my answering machine has two buttons... play which plays (and stops playing) messages people left, and outgoing which does the same stuff as yours. no memo feature though, but one less button to break:)
I believe the association of people who make movies (whatever its called... this may be MPAA, but i'm not sure) has policies and names to change directors/etc to if the movie was edited and the original producer/director etc doesn't want their name on it....
for example the original theatrical version of Dune (2 hours or so from 1984) is a De Laurentiis film... however the 6 or so hour version they sometimes play on the sci-fi channel (not the new 'Frank Herbert's Dune', you can also find this version in dvd region 2 i think) is an Alan Smithee film.
theres a few reasons they don't have I2 connectivity....
1) they're new 2) old engineering schools (The Milwaukee School of Engineering, approaching their centenial) don't have them 3) what the heck does i2 give to undergrads? (yes, its good for researching really damn fast internet connections, but i'd imagine thats more better for grad students, which i don't think this school has yet)
It seems debugging is not taught very much... other than the 'cout school of debugging' (or printf, or whatever, i'm rather attached to c++ cause thats our primary language at my school:)
for instance, using the built in debugger in visual studio amazes most of my classmates, and all i do is stepping watches and breakpoints. (granted, thats all i know how to do, but hey:)
at my previous school (a community college), they also didn't teach debugging using the debugger, but i didn't go through the full curriculum (i took the first two courses, which was then pascal, and c, the next course was c++, then there was data structures and after that i don't know, they've changed their curriculum though)
using the debugger can help a whole lot, i'd say i find 50% of my stupid bugs with that, and 90% of my more difficult bugs (i'm not sure weather to call them stupider or harder... but the ones that are more difficult to detect and find at any rate)
Many places (fedex, ups, probably usps) need people to take stuff off of trucks, and put stuff on trucks.
These positions typicially pay around $10/hour, and you get a workout included. I was working as a package handler for fedex for a few weeks, and I know if i stayed there I'd be 'ripped' in like two months.
Of course, I quit cause I was tired of bruises and cuts from the darn packages, oh well.
There is no significant reason, especially since the patent does not describe an instant messaging system, that IRC should not be considered an instant messaging network.
(Aside from during times of poor performance/netsplits/etc) Messages from one user to another are delivered very quickly, almost 'instantly'.
If the patent was more specific about where it connects to, it would still be bogus however, due to prior art on aim.
The patent application does not define an 'instant messaging' network. I would take it to mean some network whereby messages are delivered within a few seconds ('instantly'). I see no reason why IRC can not, and would not be considered instant messaging for the purposes of this patent.
Therefore we have eggdrop since 1993, and this patent is a sham. However, its still annoying.
I have also been thinking of that, but there is too much prior art I think. (Although, to get companies to admit to prior art of that would be gain enough:)
ActiveBuddy is already in bed with AOL. If you'll notice, not only does SmarterChild apparently not have to deal with rate limiting, it is also immune to warning.
I have no idea what makes an IRC network not an 'instant messaging' network. I type/msg topham blah.... if you're online, you 'instantly' get the 'message'.
Hell, my AIM bot is just a pseudo eggdrop (it even uses ! commands)
And I know, but doubt I can document that I was running it at least summer of 2000, and I'm pretty sure at least some time in 1999.
domain names are case insensitive, however, usernames are often case sensitive.
Also, in going with cnn as the example... http://robots.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/ shows all the political news... however http://robots.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICs/ shows 'not found'
most portions of the url other than the domain name are in fact case sensitive, although this depends on the server running the resource.

In california, community college is $11/unit. You can't beat that. Most of the professors are cool and laid back. Try to find a community college that is transfer oriented, and a few 4 year universities you'ld like to transfer to.
Get in touch w/ counselors at the 4-year colleges to see what kind of classes they're likely to accept for transfer credit, and take those. Be sure to get your Associates, cause if something goes wrong w/ your 4-year degree, at least you've got some college degree.
Even if it takes you 3 years to finish your 4 year degree, you'll have saved a chunk of money (on the average), and had a better opportunity to get some work experience while you're at the community college.

... synergy ... While the "web incubator" was invented in the 90's, why has no one adopted a similar model for the 00's?"
I believe one of the many lessons of the 90's was not to adopt models that speak of synergy and other lame sounding words.
I'd imagine the reason they don't kill off alkalines, is cause they're still making a killing on them?
When the commodore wears out (as I'm sure it will), where are you going to get replacements for it?
By keeping your software and hardware current, you know you can get a replacement part quickly and be confident in the reliablity of the replacement.
Of course, thats not the point of the posters question.
The poster's client wants to switch to something they'll get better support from than they have historically recieved from Novell.
FYI- a car mod being illegal doesn't stop it from happening.
