Well, you are very welcome to write one and donate it to the comunity.
What is the point of that statement?
Perhaps he was was interested in learning how to write a FPS. Perhaps he was interested in extending one in which the heavy lifting had already been done. Perhaps he was hoping that smart, clever people like yourself would do both and he would playtest the hell out of it.
Then he gets what amounts to a "fsck u n00b!" in response. That's just great.
Then the clever response gets modded up +4. They really ought to change the name of Karma.
Broadband aside, one of the reasons Internet connectivity in England is so fast is that pretty much all of the ISP's are housed in 2 buildings - Telehouse City and Telehouse East.
You're kidding! You mean one natural (or unnatural) disaster and half of England is off the net? That seems very September 10th.
Damn this kind of stratification, but if it does exist, put free software users at the top of the pyramid, where we belong.
Read closer: "It reveals a bottom layer in the cultural strata of software users: those who use Free Software; those who click through EULA's and the associated closed-source licenses; and the lowly renters." (Emphasis mine.)
I.E., the renters are the bottom layer, and the Free software users are at the top where you want them.
I tend to view it this way... how bad will it be when an enemy has the same weapon.
Not a problem! According to the submission it's * A System That is Tactically Superior To All Future Weapon Systems Potential US/NATO Adversaries Will Ever Consider
Developing, Derived Solely From US Research/Technology.
You see, the evildoers won't even consider developing one. I'm guessing it's made with pork products or something.
From the study: Countries with higher piracy rates tend to have lower software-to hardware
ratios.
Therefore the BSA should encourage its members to distribute free-as-in-beer software in countries with a poor SW to HW ratio. Once the ratio reaches healthy levels, the problem of piracy should subside and the IT sector should take off like a bandit--providing a growing market for the BSA's members.
Damn. I was trying to make fun, but it's starting to make sense. I hate when that happens.
Of course, most ISPs will be aware of this and have their own mail servers set up correctly. The problem is that most don't enforce it on their customers.
Let's say that it costs $10/ton to put waste in a landfill. If the cost to recycle the same waste is $5/ton then recycling makes economic sense.
If so, then waste mgmt. companies that recycle would be able to bid lower for contracts than waste mgmt. companies that don't. Some of this actually goes on--mostly with metals being reclaimed--precisely because it does make economic sense.
Cool, and do-no-call activists can write up a nifty perl script that will register every number from 000-000-0000 to 999-999-9999.
Might as well, the telemarketers do essentially the same thing.
My question: Is this legal? I have a vague memory that war dialing (having your computer dial blocks of numbers looking for network access points) was illegal. Since I get several calls a day from a computer I've often wondered if (a) if that counts as war dialing, and (b) it's still (or ever was) illegal.
Of course, it could just be that my mom planted that idea to keep me from playing Global Thermonuclear War on my PCjr.
It's really pretty simple. If it made economic sense to recycle, they would pay you to do it. There's a reason we pay companies (or municipal employees) to pick up our garbage, and not the other way around.
BALANCE is The Benefit Authors without Limiting Advancement or Net Consumer Expectations Act.
Obviously, we need legislation to keep our representatives from wasting too much time thinking up clever acronyms. I would like to propose a bill entitled Legislation Insulated from Acronyms by Representatives.
The interesting thing is that the spammers are now paying people to put out their spam. Now each outgoing spam costs something above the overhead costs. Sure, it's something really tiny ($20/??) but it's not zero. I wonder what the price point is that spammers are willing to pay? Would schemes that would charge spammers for their spam really be a deterent? How much would you have to charge?
But $450k? Gee, what a commitment! That's like 2-3 full time people if you include overhead.
If I read it right, that's the amount for a study about moving Japanese gov't computers to Linux. They're just going to reassign some suits. (Still, it's probably a bargain by U.S. standards!)
According to a FAQ that's posted at many animal hospital sites, "It is completely normal for a puppy to have hiccups off and on throughout the day."
What's interesting is that it concludes, "Eventually puppies grow out of them." (That explains why my adult animals don't hiccup.) The question, then, is why do humans not grow out of it? It is apparently neotony (adult retention of juvenile characteristics) but to what advantage? Or did it 'come along for the ride' with something else that does help us? If so, what?

Right you are, according to this CNet article:
The government is subsidizing the cost of the hardware...

Best place to start is the Open Relay Database FAQ or How Can I Fix the Problem. Poke around those sites and you'll find other sources as well.

A lot of people seem to think this [software diversity] is a bad thing. It is "confusing." I dont think so.
Neither do I. I never could understand people who want just one choice (oxymoron?). Confused? Grab first one you see and pretend it's the only one!

Try here.
They also have very small screens for your next port-linux-to-small-kitchen-appliance project.
Two things struck me as odd. First, there's an inconsistent use of a comma as a decimal seperator:
6,4 GB/s I/O system bus throughput
Second, they direct you to a German IBM site for more info:
Further information in the Internet: www.ibm.com/de/entwicklung
Which leads me to think this was originaly a German IBM press release, which was quickly translated.
What does this mean? I have no idea. Is IBM's PowerPC development done in Germany?

I never quite understood how the GPL was supposed to operate when push came to shove. I guess I'm going to find out.
