The students I teach here in Japan have cell phones that can do all sorts of things. Many of my students have been downloading music for a while. Almost all cell phones come with a built-in camera. They do email, web browsing and more.
In Japan it is common to have a box attached to your door bell so that you can answer a phone inside the house and talk to the person. The cell phones have also been hooked up to the doors so that if someone rings your doorbell and you are on a trip in Tyoko you can answer and tell them to go away or something like that. It is good for tricking robbers into thinking you are home.
Bandwidth is not something you need to build up when you need it. You want to have it there so that you do not need it. It is always better to be safe than sorry, right?
My computer science lab in college was setup with machines all running NFS. I thought it worked great until I ended up becoming the system admin. It was then that I realized that I could su into any user account if I was root on any machine. I knew that not only I, but many students knew how to reboot a machine and become root. There was even a sign in the room that said, "Do not reboot the computers." I realized that there was no way to really protect the machines with NFS.
A little bit later I discovered the trick with ypcat to collect all of the passwords from the NIS server. I was interested in this article because, while I am not the system admin, I have always wondered how I could have prevented a cracker from rooting a machine, su'ing to another account and copying homework assignments, or other things.
I am living in Japan right now and can call anywhere in the United States using my the line connected to my ADSL for about 2 cents a minute. That is less than I can call from one area code to another in the United States. I think that companies like Yahoo with their BB phones will pose a major threat to the phone monopolies some time soon.
Yes, I do know that. Currently I am teaching English in Japan and find that my students who are learning to read have a hard time with words that start with n. Usually the n is said as a single syllable in speech. You are right about music though. The n usually gets it's own note.
CNN also recently started some membership program that required you to pay money to watch the video footage. I remember watching them before without needing to pay money. Maybe this is a way to keep traffic down. Maybe they just want money.
I keep a copy of MSDOS 6.22 around just for games like Commander Keen. I have all of the demo versions of Commander Keen and they work well if you use dual boot. I keep the original MSDOS 6.22 images on my machine and keep the originals safe. Then I create a new set of disks everytime I install just so that I do not ruin the originals.
The real Japanese haikus can have 5,7,5 syllables, but it is not the syllables that are counted. The Japanese count the letters, which I might add can sometimes be only part of a syllable.
ryo is a combination of ri and yo, but makes one syllable. It would be counted as two letters. On the other hand, n can be by itself. As in something like the Karate Kids Daniel-san. Sa and n are different letters and count as two, but they form a single syllable.
The last time I looked into the Webster's dictionary it said, "the act of terrorizing; use of force or threats to demoralize, intimidate, and subjugate, esp. such use as a political weapon or policy"
Now, can Microsoft truthfully claim that they are not terrorists? They use force in getting OEMs to only distribute machines with Microsoft tax. They threaten companies who have decided to support Linux or other operating systems. They strive to demoralize and intimidate everything and everyone. They use Microsoft as a political weapon and have changed laws with their money. Microsoft has fit the definition of terrorism perfectly.
Microsoft is a terrorist organization and they know it. I would not be suprised to see Osama Bin Laden hiding out at the Gates getaway.

Your function looks a little bit like c++. This could not be the kernel because the kernel is written in c.
Software is like manure, it isn't good for anything unless it is spread around encouraging young things to grow.
