"If your supermarket created a rule stating that you could only purchase 55 gallons of milk per week (sounds like enough for even the largest family to me), wouldn't the simple principle disturb you?
Back in Russia it was very typical. It didn't disturb me as otherwise powerful people would have everything. Well, eachtime, when there was not such limits, powerful people had everything and I didn't"
how well does that work? if you really needed 70 gallons of milk for an event.. couldn't you just go and pay some other people to use up there excess ration milk?
do they get the rights to anything submitted in the contest?
It seems like a good idea to me. Having a contest and offering a small lump sum is probably cheaper then hiring a whole bunch of developers to think up some applications. Not only will it get people to dream up ipv6 apps, but get more people to understand what its all about.
I must say that this seems to be a great idea on the ipv6 promotional councils part
I would rather a system come with the bare essentials then large quantities of crap *cough* redhat *cough*
Its not user friendly at all. An OS should not be physically painful to use... if using solaris cuases you physical pain, I think you need to find a new hobby/profession
Screw user friendly, if the required task can be performed, and the system is still stable, then im happy. Think of the reverse situation, hmm, I clicked the "make it work" button and it didn't do anything, then five minuets later my system died.
Which one would you prefer?
another words life only matters as long as its dirrectly related to your own...
hmm.. maybe now I understand why all of the suicide bombings/missle strikes get put behind the weather in my local news paper...
news and media is a buisness, the purpose of buisness is to make money.
Im sorry but interviewing every single widow of a fireman from 9/11 wasn't done for the purpose of "information", it was done for the shock value, and the rating.
When you turn on the news today and see titles like "showdown iraq" or "countdown iraq" do you think they pick titles like that to be informative?
May the poor people on that shuttle rest in peace.
since when does microsoft have to join with other companies to have effects on legislation? This is new, normally they snap there fingures and get what they want, they even snap there fingures, and get what they want in --other-- countries.
nothing like donkey cocks to be informative and insightful.... im sorry but im tired of seing anime sucks posts. If you hate it that much, then go to the preferences and check the box labeled anime.
Saying that it is poorly written or whatever alone doesn't constitute being informative or insightful.
I would have thought anime would have already been part of college, under art somewhere. Kinda like cartoon sketching or drawing, only with a particular style.
Java has a great set of libraries that come with the standard JRE/JDK. While you can find the equivalent libraries for other languages, with Java you don't have to go searching as much. Plus, you know they're going to work when you move the application from platform to platform
STL? Also theres tons of sites that distrubute libraries and code. Maybe you dont have to search for libraries in java.. if you are familar with them. But the same can be said for any language.
The platform to platform point is a good one. That falls under the general advantage of java, not libraries though.
The record labels blame piracy for their woes. And they're right - in part. Before writing this paragraph, I logged on to Kazaa. At 10 on a Monday morning, hardly peak time, 3.1 million people were on the network - more simultaneous users than Napster ever had in its heyday.
just becuase there are more people on kazaa, doesn't mean there are more people swapping music. People also share stuff like images, movies, pron, software, etc.
Also, a signifigant portion of napster lived in homegrown servers, using napigator, etc. Lack of actuall information here.
When you can give me some stats about what type of content most kazaa users trade, then the above quote might actually mean something.
why dont we move the same system that we use for movies, and apply it to games? Nobody seems to object to the movie rating system, kids or parents. Also the media and content is very simalar, were talking about violence and sex right?
Ive got no trouble with regulating games for kids, I dont really think my 13 year old neighbors need to play duke nukem all day. On the other hand, the system should not be over restrictive. When my 13 year old neighbor cant rent zelda or mario any more then its overkill.
I read the article.. and it was good and all, but I would really like to see the actuall bill being proposed to congress.
so how durable is this unit going to be? If you drop it is it going to be unreadable? What about heat? If you leave your wallet in the winshield with one of these things is it going to mess up the data? Did anyone do any stress tests on these things?
As for these whack-jobs dropping vehicles into the desert, they should be prosecuted for environmental crimes. I live in the desert, it's a highly fragile ecosystem that just doesn't need any more abuse by mental midgets with weak justifications for blowing up things. The desert's already littered with tens of thousands of things that people took out to shoot up or blow up. Plus, you're just not going to get me to believe that they completely sanitized these vehicles by removing every last millileter of fuel, oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, engine coolant, freon, etc from the vehicle. I won't even get into the by-products from burning the vehicle that will saturate the ground for a couple hundred feet around the burn site.
good point, if you must drop suvs from airplanes, do it in the city
k.. im really tired and I cant think that good, so this wont be very clearly written
how long do you think it will be before we will see more and more state and local goverments doing similar things?
There is a HUGE deficit and money shortage, and many groups are looking to cut costs. The public school system in my area has to cut there budget by 2 million dollars(the latest proposal was to cut media aids).
Ive got a feeling that more and more people are going to be looking towards open source solutions in the near future.

lol.. thats funny... I get a really great mental picture from that
lol... mod parent up
first you didn't have your coffee... now you had way to much coffee or something

how did the propsed legislation even come to be without the support of any of these major companies?
since when does microsoft have to join with other companies to have effects on legislation? This is new, normally they snap there fingures and get what they want, they even snap there fingures, and get what they want in --other-- countries.
holy crap that was funny

wow... when comments like that get modded to plus 3 informative, something is really wrong.

thats not anime!

id like to see what type of new features there planning on putting in this thing, graphics, interface, game media, etc.
I hope there not going to rush this thing so fast that they forget to turn up with a good product.

web server is down, did however give an intresting error page. I wonder if the code is right from the config file or if that is just example code
:/
also there is no google cache either
this completely screws up my collection of phone numbers..

given the state of technology today, and some of the recent new laws passed, do you think that the path that you took would still be possible today?
