I'm telling you... BitTorrent webserver. I anti-patented the idea along time ago on shouldexist. Distributed content will mean much less network loads. And faster loads! Put all the RAM in the world to work!
No matter what direction the FCC takes the technology genie is out of the bottle for adhoc networks. If ever an access path such as a T1 which is today $250/month can be dropped to sub-$100 then TWC and probably the rest of the networks operators will see real competition. Spelled: LOWER PRICES for the consumer.
This country was biult on competition and I think the FCC is doing a good thing with what they've done with allowing 802.11. Now phone-to-PC: that's another issue altogether! But soon (now) everyone will have IM running all the time anyways.
Folks, we are headed for a huge bandwidth crunch. Gates posit of infinite bandwidth everywhere is about like flying cars. Already TWC cable networks are sucking fumes in any heavily used neighborhoods.
I look forward to more and more bandwidth and figure people will be willing to pay a premium unless more competitino arises. Heck, something like bittorrent is THE SOLUTION: distributed content will mean less load on the network. That's what the FCC should be promoting.
Linux must be easier as you can disk image Linux! ( From what I recall 'doze makes you do some slack post install step where you enter the serial number and crap. Obviously the big companies are getting a gift here at $10 (or buying from Ruskys!) and have some work-around for the manual license step. I'd guess.:-)
I don't believe this is true. Everphilski, please tell me where I can buy Windows for $10? Several years ago I wrote the government that $10-$15 is the non-manipulated market price of an OS. (DOS variants for example).
Good. Maybe you guys can tell me why 9.2 seems to only work on my notebook?
After a long install on a PC it seemed to be working. Hit the net and got some sound. Shut down to attach a CD cable and that was it. Now it boots to the console and tells me to
"umount -n -r readwrite,rw/" or something like that.
I login root and do it and ^D. Restart. Same. Try with safe boot menu option. Safe boot does an fsck and chkdsk or something. The same problem. Try a few more variations. Pls don't tell me I have to reinstall again. Next time I'm just going back to Win2k. I really like SUSE so far on my laptop. Very attractive too.
I'm having fun imagining our bug-eyed, four-armed ancestors driving around circumventing the neighborhoods of the diverted human evolution of govertment-teat-sucking grunts with an occasionaly genetic spritz from the government aristocracy.
Imagining homogeneity from eugenics can be quite fun (Gattaca) but genetic diversity via random mutation is not the same as progression by natural selection. Could very well be we live the way we have to - not because we adapted physically but because we adapted our cultures and practices to our physical selves. Can a panda bear live off meat? Yes. Is lactose tolerance a result of genetic selection? Or do we consume so much milk products because we can?!
With so many humans then evolution should be apparent unless it is caused by some anamoly. We should start to see diverted human genomes if evolution is random. Maybe the real evolution will be in our social interactions.
Check out http://www.shouldexist.org/. ShouldExist is a superb place to anti-patent ideas. I will not be surprised if a fair number of software patents being filed have been already mentioned on ShouldExist.

The referenced chart and that one do not show the rapid heating which you show. But such heating is normal as in the period 300k to 400k years ago. According to the records you show on your chart, a rapidly heating period is normal. Blaming this on CO2 is not correlated. Of course, if it is we may know too lately. Probably the deforestation is the reason CO2 levels are going up. The normal florishing of flora in a warmer period did not occur.
According to your chart one would interpolate to the left a trend similar to the others and, thus, a cooling period.
Thanks for the post. Interesting data. Especially the 300k to 400k range. I think our problem is we are not used to interpolating backwards. I think hotter temperatures are at the bottom of the referred chart. When you do that, it get hotter. Refer to this link http://www.scotese.com/climate.htm to realize the chart has hotter at the bottom and cooler at the top. Assuming CO2 concentrations are greater toward the top then the relation is inverted from what people are claiming.
Looks like CO2 may be part of the temperature regulation on Earth. The chart shows the concentration of CO2 does not control temperature as temp always decreased/increased again even though CO2 became more prevalent. CO2 maybe an effect of the temperature change.
It's Jan in NC and I'm driving to work with the convertible top down so maybe this Global Warming is caused by wreckless pollution or maybe the natural 10 celsius swing is underway. Either cause, 10 degrees won't wipe out humans but maybe Florida and other poorly chosen build spots and leave the Canucks sitting pretty.
What is the difference between a search warrant and a court order? Please tell me. I do know per the 4th Ammendment a search warrant is needed legally to search.
Also, refer to the final blow on much of such activities:
"Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. "
Not only is phone tapping illegal without an oath/affirmation and warrant but attempting to re-interpret the Constituion or tack on other priveleges to the government is also expressly illegal. I think it is fair to assume every public official, judge, and worker should know the Bill of Rights so it is fair to assume they directly affront the US people when they claim powers outside of the Bill of Rights. They must find another way to meet their goals rather than illegal actions.
Who has the right to change the US Constitution? The only way to make legal the actions outlawed in the Bill of Rights is to amend the Constitution. Whether Joe Idiot or Judge Dufus thinks tapping phone lines is fine or not the Constitution clearly says it is illegal for the Federal Government to do so. Now if the states or cities did it...
Name this ammendment: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. "

Has anyone else noticed F/OSS are starting to have a world of their own. As the report says, you cannot do feature-to-feature comparisons on products like this but the features and power of free software seem to really be gaining acceptance by the early adopters (not big companies).

I had a discussion about the recent Brett Bursey case where the Supreme Court ruled it is illegal to stand your ground when holding a sign displaying "No more war for oil, don't invade Iraq".
I sure don't want my kids to have to hear some guy cursing and, in fact, alot of the clothing styles I see I find downright tasteless and offensive. Guess I'd better start refering to the supreme court case and get these people off the street.
My friend argues it is like yelling "Fire" in a crowded restaurant but from what I've read its more like yelling "The emperor has no clothes".
As Bursey said in his statement, the people are afraid of the government. That we distrust them and should is why wiretapping should be punished for breaking the constitution. In fact, the illegality is spelled out clearly in the 4th Ammendment with absolutely no question.
I also have tried to find such a country. No luck yet but let me know.
Guess we'd better clean up the mess here. When a leader believes he/his workers operate above the law then you have a dictatorship. Bush/Bush's government is dictating what he/they can do rather than obeying the Constitution.
The problem is we are governed by the ungoverned.
I think Clinton laid solid framework for Bush when he showed no real punishment comes from perjury. So Bush probably realized he can give a chameleon of reasons for attacking Iraq and otherwise do whatever he wants as no retribution exists for men of power.
I think that is not clear at all but most of all the raised issue now gives the citizens a voice against domestic wiretapping which is clearly well-established according to Echelon etc. If the courts rule on that then the US government has to admit it is in direct violation of civil rights; so, probably the courts will do like you said and only rule on a side issue and thus allow the US government to continue to illegally practice domestic wiretapping.
BTW, in Ceauescu's police state in Romania teams of people monitored domestic phone calls. Here we're using computers and smaller teams of people. Same with email and other forms of communication. Why do you think the clipper chip was outlawed. In fact, from what I understand all registered certificates have the private keys shared with the NSA. We are living in a state where everyday people fear the police, local/state taxes, and the IRS. Freedom of speech remains while all other freedoms are being systematically removed.
Scary tuff when the men in government think they deserve absolute power over the people of this country.
The ACLU has often been off but the fact is the US government is in absolute conflict with their agreement with the US citizens - the Constitution of the United States. Does this mean the men running the government think they no longer have to obey the Constitution? Clearly.
Yeah, Windows users prefer a hang on mup.sys!!! Ever seen a windows system where the screen goes black after osldr calls the OS to load? Probably mup.sys. Reboot and F8 in there and see it hang. Pull your add-in disk controllers and voila it works. Sure wish I'd never had turned on that automatic updates! Worked before.
A Windows box is not extensible. That's why the OS installer is less flexible. Not made for versatility.
I saw GOOG hiring Linux core folks last summer. I guess they will do something in that space. There's just too much opportunity to produce kickin Linux systems.

Worse yet, the chart may simply show that more CO2 gets fixed into the ice when it is colder. No correlation to temperature at all.
