I'm not sure about anyone else, but as a long time sysadmin and web monkey, I feel like I've been violated, without the use of lubrication, by the DOJ. This "punishment" is tantamount to Br'er Rabbit getting tossed into the briar patch. The DOJ might as well change it's official title from The Department of Justice to The Micro$soft Department of Justice and Inovation.
2 simple words, fuck you. Microsoft has devastated the industry. I strongly believe that the current tech downturn was caused by Microsoft's evil ways. If there was true competition, do you think that M$'s stock would be still floating up where it is while virtually every other tech company is tanking? think long and hard about it.
Heinlein suggested this MUCH earlier than Gerrold. They basically threw rocks at Earth until they got their freedom. Read "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress". One of my favorite Heinlien books.
I was always under the impression that it was a mini-blackhole that wandered through our planet. that easily explains the lack of crater and the tree patterning. The worst part is, did I read this in a Larry Niven novel or watch it on Discovery channel? Ahh, the joys of waking up and feeling the Mountain Dew bubble it's way through my synapses.
God I miss the BBS days. I think I'm going to look for a BBS package I can put on one of my webservers. Those where the days I learned just about everything about computers, including how to build one from spare parts.
It's kind of a non-issue. I plan on creating a FreeBSD based firewall that will only allow static IP's access. Of course, you can try to guess which range I use. I suspect that I'll make a caching server on it also.
I've actually started doing something similar, but with 802.11b. I'll be putting out a flyer in my neighborhood rounding up people to participate. Since just about everyone there are old hippies, the communal thing will probably work.
My Mom has had three strokes, two heart attacks, and a quintuple bypass. As a result of all of that devastation, she has no real short term memory. There is absolutely zero chance I'll be able to convert her to Linux. God know's I want to, she lives 130mi away. It'd make life MUCH simpler, not having to try and explain why the "tv" (her word for monitor) looks blue all the time. Wanna know what she does with it? Plays euchre online, virtually all day. It's actually appeared to have helped her. I've warned her about Passport though and I believe she won't sign up.
Microsoft intends to force the issue and to call on security experts to draw a line between responsible disclosure and arming people with the tools and software needed to attack computers, said Culp.
"(We) don't purport to have the answer to the problem," he said in a Wednesday interview. "But we believe that these practices are harmful."
Of course M$ believes that these practices are harmful, they've been the ones getting attacked the most. It's actually M$'s fault, because their software is still developed as if it was running on a non-networked, stand-alone PC. Until the decide that their software is to be used on a network (oh, my god...) M$ software will be the most hacked shit out there.
Think Bluetooth. I'm hoping for something like a HD on my belt with a PDA/Phone/Camera/game device on my wrist. Bluetooth can connect these and more. Sounds awful proprietary though.
I have a heating solution, it's called a furnace. Basements are notoriously difficult to heat though. That's where most of my PC's and servers are, including my primary workstation. It's pretty nice in the summer though, nice and cool. Space is the primary consideration for choosing this as my work area.
Dammit! As soon as I finally buy a wireless solution for the house, this becomes available. I just (3 weeks ago) bought a Compaq Ipaq ConnectionPoint base and wireless PC card for my laptop. 802.11b. Oh well, it still kicks ass being able to sit upstairs where it's warm and surf, hack PHP, whatever. You'd be amazed at how much faster you can type when you're not shivering.
I wish 172's where $50 per hour. Where I'm getting my lessons, it's $65 per hour. A Cessna-152 is $52 per hour.
I do agree that home simulators are kinda not cool, mainly because there's no feedback loop for your reflexes. Plus the fact that it suck to have to futs with the highhat button (or whatever) to see sideways. I've always wanted to have 3 monitors so I can get a 3 angle view.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,...
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
Trust me, as a musician I know. We want money. Rent, instruments, food, amps, clothing, effects are all necessary for life. Without money, we can't get any of that. Admiration and respect are fine, but I can't buy a Paul Reed Smith guitar or another Marshall amp with it. Same thing with applause.

Of course, you should look at my handle. Frankly, I have no idea what the hell SCUMM actually is, I suppose I should read the article.
The bat wing sail is a pretty decent idea, to bad the web page sucks.
This is the second fsckin post. How the hell is it redundant? Dumbass.

Thank you. Now that the caffiene has wafted it's way up past my blood/brain barrier I seem to actually remember that.
