Yes, it is very funny how the dems like to "have it both ways" on almost every controversial issue.
yeah, kinda like campaigning for a smaller government and then increasing spending for Nat'l drug council, defense, police, Coporate bailouts, CAPPS, TIA, etc, etc, etc.
disclaimer: like a lot of the posters here I think both parties are (almost) equally corrupt and hypocritical.
Any economist will tell you that deficit spending is a standard prctice for the govt. to get out of a recession. It worked for Reagan and looks like it's working for Bush as well.
Any historian will tell you that declaring war is a standard prctice for the govt. to get out of a recession. It worked for the great depression and looks like it's working for Bush as well.
1: Universities are not-for-profit organizations (in general) The vast majority of Universities are state funded endeavors.
2: there are provisions in fair use doctrine that SPECIFICALLY support copyright "infringement" for use in an educational setting. I dont know about you, but my university had this one department called the MUSIC department. We could argue all day about whether Britteny is actually music, but i bet a court would side with me.
It's hard work keeping track of all this linux hypocrisy, but I'm trying.
It is quite easy, really. Linux supporters like things that help linux and don't like things that hurt linux. I am not really sure how that counts as hypocrasy..
You have to put a DVD/CD to play your PS2 or Xbox. What is the difference here?
Because, I have about 20-30 games for ps1 and ps2 and I have about 300 cd's for my PC. I really don't want to have to go through all 6 spindles to find the damn quake3 cd!
whew...i almost couldnt breathe in there with the fuming faithful...
but seriously, trying to convey reason to people who have so much vested interest and pride in one particular viewpoint is quite pointless, and maybe even inane...
I saw a show on discovery or something about how birds can learn stuff from other birds. And some species in England learned how to drop nuts or something on pavement to crack the shells from some imported birds (maybe of the same species?).
Maybe you could find examples of groups that had figured out how to avoid the propellers and sort of cross breed them.
I bet there are all sorts of rodents and stuff in there that have already figured out the corollary
Co-operative cruise control ("I'm car X at coordinates Y and I'm braking at Z rate") for improved speed management
thats a pretty good idea. Or better yet co-op speed limits.
A display that shows how fast everyone else is going instead of some arbitrary sign. It is relatively well documented that more accidents happen where people are all driving different speeds than when all the people are speeding.
Actually, Microsoft has historically treated programmers pretty well. The whole reason most of the software on the planet is for Windows is because of this.
Anybody who says that raw c++ is easier than VB is on crack! Microsofts whole business model is based on making it easy for people to build software for the platform.
I write business apps in Python (and VB) using COM and I have to say that it is actually pretty neat as long as your company is already willing to pay the MS Office tax.
Hmm... do you really think that this will do anything to Echelon other than use more compute cycles? Do you really doubt that the operators of Echelon have enough compute cycles to crack SSL encrypted emails?
ah the eternal debate...
yeah, but if everyone was using them then it would raise the total computing power exponentially, hopefully making it too expensive to monitor everybody. Obviously, if the feds already have their eyes on you they can break you encryption like nothing.
If I have 75 cents in my pocket and I see Galaga I play all 3 quarters. If it is 50 I only play once. I really don't think I am in the minority, especially if we are talking about nostalgic nerds.

if an action was acceptable in the past then it is still acceptable today
1 word: slavery. Your premise is flawed.

you do realize that apostrophes are used to denote missing letters right? like is not ==> isn't or on the clock ==> o'clock...
please, for future reference, at least refrain from calling other people idiots until you actually know what you are talking about
yet another reason to get out of bushland, they hiring any computer/enviro. compliance types over there?
...seriously, any good sites with norway job listings would be great.

Oh crap, we are SOOOOO screwed!!!
that would be insightful if the RIAA was a law.... But I guess the point remains, both sides are pretty much the same.

Enough talk already!! Just give me a shotgun and 24 ounces of pure grain alcohol and ill get there on my damn own!!
damn, I wish half our buildings were ruble now. I know the exchange rate isn't great right now, but there are a lot of buildings out there!
I guess thats the ironic part. Bush is incompetent, and if Gore wasn't incompetent as well he would have won.

His voice did it, I think...
no shit, I totally got neverland ranch flashbacks too!!!
Enough talk, where are the hosts??

No, they get headlines when people accuse them of lying and it turns out (apparently) that they weren't.
I just wish they would get headlines when people accuse them of lying and they are.
No Free Lunch... No Free Linux... ???
WTF. is that supposed to be an ad? hehe

Perhaps this is because those who would most like to complain have already been stung to death by swarms of human-bred killer bees.
yeah, but apparently they generated this page for me so I guess it is OK.
Californians will have the option of buying them out-of-state, but it's way too much of a hassle IMHO just to have a few glowing fish.
I heard of this really cool thing called the internet. It's great, you can go to websites and order stuff, and they ship it right to your house!
