I mean really, does this come as a shock to anybody here? What we really should be doing is pointing this out to the mass media and our friends and coworkers. These people don't understand what us email admins are up against.
As a parent myself, I know my little one knew what I was telling her before she was a year old. She was an early walker, so after I would change her, I would give her the wrapped up diaper and tell her to throw it away.
A complex sentance, loaded with stuff she'd have to figure out on her own, and she did just fine.
So, from the parents of the world, let me just say, "no shit".
This means that traveling at high velocities in a spacecraft should reduce one's aging.
No it won't. I will reduce the appearance of time's progression on a person, from everyone outside that persons sphere of perspective. They will still have lived the same amount of relative time as someone else would have.
You weren't clear, and it sent shivers up a lot of people's backs.
Actually, it has quite a bit more significance than that.
For example; Who does Blizz buy their hardware from? Who supplies their bandwidth? How many people are involved in bringing wow to the consumer?
I'm not saying it's a cornerstone of society, but I am saying that they pump a shit load of cash into the economy. And in that respect, Wow is very important.
Except can hope for death. From TFA: "With Fedora Core 5, we will take the rocket science of virtualization away from the end user and get virtualization out-of-the-box experience in their hands," Stevens said.
Where it will promptly mutate in to a flesh eating form of virus, obliterating you, your family and your dog.

They have some stiff competition from Asterisk, which is just starting to gain some serious momentum.
Would you rather have;
1) A completely open system, based on commodity hardware
or
2) Locked in system?
Most people I talk with love asterisk BECAUSE it's based on standards. These are business owners I'm talking about. They dislike avaya's and co attempts to lock them in, and appreciate asterisk's openness.
Well, that, and asterisk can do *ANYTHING*.
Add in the fact they setup arbitrary limitations, and I don't think they are taking the business sector seriously.
I just spent 40 bucks to take my SO and her/our kids to the movies. Just in movie tickets.
Let's be clear here; That was two adults and two children. Under 2 got in free.
Then, she spent another 20 on popcorn and soda.
The ticket costs are what's killing them. Movie quality aside ( that seems to be a second thought now a days to both the people going to the movies as well as those making them ), I won't be going to the movies again this year because I've already spent what I feel is reasonable for the year.
Hm, I don't see any equilivant of 'skype in' for Asterisk? I mean, having a number in say the States while you're physically in Poland (your server being in Poland too) such tends to be useful.
Trivial. I would refer you to www.teliax.com or connect.voicepulse.com.
For a more robut solution, stick an asterisk server at someone's house, feeding off of a phone line.
OK... I want a program that I can give to my windows-only, not-computer-savvy friends that comes with a simple installer, is free, that "just works" without the need for configuration and that's reliable. Can Asterisk do that?
Short answer; Yes.
Long answer: This is how I've done it.
I setup an asterisk server on my home broadband connection. I then setup an xlite xml file, and sent it to my mother, and another one for my brother.
Done. All this would take me about 3 hours, start to finish ( this is assuming a blank box. Having to install linux + asterisk ). From here it would take a minute or two per client I'd want to invite on to the network. The best part: I can do anything I want to do to the phone calls from here on out. Anything you can imagine can be done with Asterisk, hence it's power.
Remember folks; Asterisk. Skype isn't open source, and the company behind it has it's own motives. Asterisk is open source, has a good community behind it, and can do *anything* you want it to. Regardless of the hardware behind it.
On the other hand, there are quite a few legitimate uses for this. For example; I have a channel bank hooked into an * box ( asterisk; ask for it by name! ). When any of my users make a phone call out, I want it to look like it's coming from the first line in the hunt group in case anybody uses that number to call back. I do not want them calling the hunt group lines, as I can do some magic with those and hook them directly up to phone extensions as need be, while at the same time being a part of the hunt group.
Very legitimate use, saves my company quite a bit of cash every month in t1 bills.
If they make it illegal to change the CID, I hope they are going to dedicate a ton of cash to making sure it's enforced. Otherwise it'll just be another bullshit law that most people ignore.
Now, I need to steal some genes from this little wasp, inject them into prostitutes. Then, take over the minds of a few select politicians. Next thing you know, I've got one in the whitehouse...and..uh...
Organized crime has found the internet, and they seem to like what they see. It's just like one huge, dark alley lined with endless smoke-filled lounges. Lots of seamy places to meet up. Anonimity if you want it. Under-the-table dealings. Faceless bosses and eager young turks with itchy trigger fingers.

Say it with me now: Skype != Voip
I have no problems with my callerid from my * box over voip lines.

You just *know* somewhere, behind some desk, in a dusty office, a DHS agent is reading this going, "Damn, why didn't I think of that?!"
I could see it now. All they'd need is a front company. Someone the public trusts. They could release this service...and..uh...
Wait a second.

ATI used to suck with linux drivers. If you wanted a fairly recent 3d card in linux, you had to go with nvidia.
Is that still the case? If so, then I can't see why I would be interested in ATI.

WTF: art eunuch, man? That's "wife" and "my kids," unless you're well on your way down the path to Bolshevism.
No, it's SO and her kids + our child.
And I would suggest you look up that word. It does not mean what you think it means.
If you took someone under the age of two to a feature length movie, then I hate you.
It was Curious George. I hate myself.

Snack costs will do in the individual theaters.
We're fighting for freedom and democracy. You'll notice that you have none of those things in the military.
Who the hell modded this insightful? Let's take this post, and see how they stack up against your 3 points.
1) MacOS is not *nix.
I can't seem to find where that's being said in this article. Maybe you'd like to point that out for me.
2) MacOS is insecure
If anything, this article is a rebuttel against that belief.
3) Apple is slow with patches.
Point out to me where this is even TOUCHED upon in the article. Thanks

This is lucas we are talking about. The same man who made Revenge of the Sith.
He has no business making movies any more, and less making predictions.
