Everyone knows it is impossible to leave the earth. All space programs are fake, the Europeans didn't know that because they never tried so they just went up, their probe exploded at 70,000 feet (20,000 meters) and they just kept saying "oh, its on it's way." Now they have a nice cop out point.
But in all honesty, this sucks. European success along with some Asian activity in moon missions may have reignited the failing NASA program which hasn't really done anything important (succesfully) since Hubble and even then they messed up pretty good. Oh! We forgot the lens, our b.
I can see this becoming a major success because the low-budget nature of the film offers itself to easily adapting to stage as there aren't any flashy special effects to emulate. Except the "non-moving charging knight" scene and of course all those whacky animations. Maybe you should discuss this, at great length, at the new Root Forum I bet it will dethrone the Producers as hottest ticket on Broadway.
Linux and OS X ship with zero ports open. Windows XP and even Windows Server 2003 ship with 4 open ports. What does that mean? Four places that anyone can jack your system, and even if you have a firewall (a good one at that) programs that have managed to get onto your system whether through shadow installs (see Gator) or tricky web-pages that use java to make you download something and not tell you or even e-mail attachments-- all of those will be able to access the outside world and pull in information and throw it out there too without you ever knowing because those 4 ports are open.
Windows is not secure. Instead of fixing little problems like this that are incredibly simple, they decide to invest billions of dollars into programs like Palladium which will, among other less desirable things, make the platform "more secure" both from the outside world and from yourself. Figure your shit out Redmond, please (by Redmond I mean Microsoft, not Nintendo America).
This technique has been used in big budget studios since the early 90's but has been refered to be a codename of "Catalyst." Appropriate, as it is the catalyst between a crappy singer and a inspiring vocalist. I guess they just started admitting that some singers sucks mure than you think.
You could take a look at an application called GroupWise by Novell. It is web based and offers a powerful backend. It has powerful LDAP tools that can be viewed and edited on any platform. Also, it is widely scaleable. But it is a tad on the slow side. A small price to pay if it gets the job done, huh?
Yes, O2003 BCM should help you out here. I was "lucky" enough to get in on beta and though it was particularly buggy and slow (expected in a beta) it offered a lot of features including what you are looking for.
Sadly, you will have to wait a month or two and fork over a couple hundred bucks-- but it seems like you have those kind of resources.
Is it possible that there could be a sudden rush to buy up lizard spit as a lose weight fast scheme? I'm a bit on the heavy side (that's a conservative estimate) and weight reducing lizard spit sounds damn good to me. Who else?
When writing my post I kept thinking I was forgetting something. And that is why it didn't seem to go anywher, I forgot my point. My point was that the RIAA is way out of hand with the huge fines. Shouldn't the fines be for how much was stolen plus a SLIGHT penalty? Say... 200%? Instead of 10,725,000,000% (Assuming that each song is valued at approximately one dollar US).
Illegal Business Practices

P2P Spam?
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
Spam is becoming such a huge business that they need to resort to crime to grow. The stretches of Spam have become so extensive and intrusive that they can't even legally think of anything else. My suggestion, like millions of annoyed consumers, would be to just stop spamming. It is a waste of resources both for the spammer and the spamm-e (what the hell, that doesn't look like a word). Furthermore, all the evidence I can gather suggests that it is entirely ineffective.
So why resort to a series of virusus that rip through international networks? Then again, why climb Mt. Everest? Because it was there.
(Note: Obviously the reaches of SoBig and spam in general reach well outside the United States and in all likelyhood, originated elsewhere. Don't think that I am som egocentric American who thinks that the U.S.A. is the only place on Earth. I was just using it as a frame of reference because it is what I am most familiar with.)
Sure, the technology assosiated with QuickTime 6 (AAC particularly) is killer. The app itself is fundamentally flawed in the way it is presented. Usability and features are where it lacks. It is also slow as death.
I believe that the sudden increase in console use can be atrtibuted to the Microsoft funded U.S. Army operation "Console Drop" which includes the strategic air lifts of 10,000 X-Box consoles with Halo and a bill for $250 to locations throughout Israel, Libya, Iraq, Iran and Egypt. Phase two of the operation is said to expand to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Azurbijan, Turjikistan and Othermideastcountrystan.
A note for anyone who happens to recieve an X-Box in this operation. Please make your check payable to Bill Gates, 1 Microsoft Dr, Redmond, Washington, 62101
The RIAA, DeBeers, Gemology and Maxell
on
Diamonds & the RIAA
·
· Score: 2, Flamebait
We have two seemingly seperate industries. Both, like mentioned in this post, rule their respective markets absolutely. The RIAA controls the price of CDs and DeBeers controls diamond prices. Both of them have been having to put up with some competition.
Gemology, a florida based company, is making synthetic diamonds for very little money that are near flawless. A 3-karat stone runs about $100 US. There is also a Boston based company that hasn't begun selling yet, but claim to have perfected a process that makes better diamonds than Gemology at a lower price. Meanwhile, dozens of P2P and blank media companies are developing new ways to "compete" with the iron-fist of the RIAA.
Everyone flames on the RIAA because of their lame tactics that are more annoying than effective at eliminating file-swapping and burning. But what about DaBeers that has been instigating international crime and inflating prrices on diamonds for decades? Near constantly we see stories of little children being tortured over diamonds in Africa yet the/. population seems more concerned with the RIAA placing fake copies of Christina Aguilera songs on KaZaa.
I am not trying to sound preachy. In fact, I don't really care about kids in Africa. Or anywhere for that matter. All that matters to me is being able to download whatever I want, whenever I want. And write longwinded posts on Slashdot with a good premice that go absolutely nowhere.
The only place I could find work as a writer is at Fox News. Sure, I can't make a point but I am "fair and balanced" TM.
While you make a good point about the power of google (see Thomas Friedman opinion on June 29). There is always falibility in the system to uncover results that are legitimate-- though always seemingly relevant. A book, and a longwinded one at that, is only good for putting everything in one place in this situation.
That having been said, Linux security is pretty well documented and easy to search on google. If only Windows had a bit of security, then M$ could have a book of its own as well. Sadly, Windows and security contradict one another.
...interesting that a flaimbait accusation is, in itself, flaimbate.
"...expected to be released in 2004 and promises to deliver increased performance, both at startup and runtime, more flexibility and productivity and changes to ease the learning process."
This is everything I could ask for, at least within the speed/productivity area. it has always been a very black and white tradeoff between flexibility and ease of use. Perhaps this will find balance between the otherwise very contradictory features.
seppuku. yes that sounds like a marvelous idea. Of course, seppuku is the act of killing oneself in disgrace after allowing your master to die. In this case, I guess your master would be dignity?
I have alwways preffered Gnome to KDE because of speed issues (and the new Gnome is a lot prettier). But if this new base is much faster, then I may be forced to start using KDE again.
Then again, my G5 should be arriving soon-- so forget Linux.
One of the most impresssive features of diamond based semiconductors is their high thermal conductivity. While they will get very hot at such speeds, they will be cooled easily and also withstand the heat easily. Unlike traditional semiconductors that are currently stretching their thermal limits. In fact, with traditional fan cooling, chips like the P4 can't get much faster without some other technologies to assist in cooling, or temperature control.
It is unfair to assume that the Dean camp is in fact the spammer simply because spam is being sent on their behalf. There are millions upon millions of Dean supporters, many with very deep pockets, any one of them could be running the spam campaign. It is like blaming Tuperware for some housewife inviting you to a Tuperware party.
Now, that isn't to say that it is impossible for the spam to be coming from Dean For America but rather that it is both unlikely and unfair to come to such a conclusion without decisive evidence.
Near the bottom of the BuyMusic.com index there are three links to their television commericals they have lined up. These commericals aren't just similar to the AppleMusic.com ads, they are identicle. Person standing in front of white background listening to music on headphones (which you can't hear) and singing along, dancing around. Then black text on white background with just one line of text. Apple is usually pretty aggresive when it comes to posers like this-- I wonder if they will act.
dont you love Slashdot? You can reply with ONE DAMN SENTANCE to a story when there weren't any replies and STILL don't get first.
Oh well.
But I guess that means this is a strong, large, fast community.
The PS3 was out of the picture for me, I was expecting something like a GameCube sequal or something first. Remember, it too them 6 years to go from PS to PS2.
