That would be today, minus the gigabit. A DVD I recall is around 2 gig. 700 meg Divx downloads are extremely common among broadband clients. I suspect DVDs would be as well if DVD burners and authoring software were a little more common.
In short: no government system should be built on trust. There have been those screaming about this for decades as each new threat hype brought with it the 'tools' to maintain public order. Bush and Clinton are interchangeable in this regard, the latter's War on Drugs did much damage and was debated fiercely on this forum. Can the process be reversed so late in the day?
They're no longer public servers and defenders, the transformation to `keepers' is nearing completion. When that happens the Republic comes to a close.
True enough. Think of it then as push-side restraining order of the kind granted to provide relief from the psycho ex-significant other. Nothing illegal about an ex making a call, except if they're calling you. It's a list to provide relief from harrassment.
Telemarketers wouldn't feel this threatened unless convinced the sign-up will be huge, meaning millions of normally lethargic people (look at voter turnout) so dislike their calls they'll go out of their way to make them stop. The level of threat is directly proportional to the degree of contempt and annoyance caused by unsolicited calls, and by expressing such concern for their future the Association is admiting people really do hate them and want no part of their services. It's hard to feel sympathy for such parasites.
How do "AA-fonts, SVG-icons, real alpha blending" have anything to do with 3D visualization? They're all 2D optimizations, so it's not obvious anyone is busting ass on 3D desktop tech.
I agree with another poster's reply, 3D file and desktop management are on hold pending true 3D display technology. Even then it's not immediately apparent that current computer data structures are better served by 3D visualization, or that humans would be more efficient using them. More dimensions are not automatically better simply for being more.
The manufacture of cars, airplanes and radio transmitters are also regulated by massive standards bodies and testing, far more strenuous than any training imposed on users. Doesn't it make more sense to start there if we're really concerned about enhancing "the safety of everyone using the medium"?
...various levels of the Canadian government had blamed it on a New York power station, and then a Pennsylvania nuclear power plant fire (information they got from the US Department of Defense, as a sidenote, but nonetheless it was irresponsible to repeat it verbatim so early on).
Was it blame, or did Canadian officials re-distribute the best information available, given to them by a disinterested authorative source, at the time of a major emergency? If the latter then not doing so would be irresponsible. On what basis did Bloomberg make his statements?
Mozilla doesn't have a problem with pop-ups, that's an IE thing. For those who use IE and deal with pop-ups all the time, what's the big deal with another one to display Flash or Shockwave content?
The satisfaction is that it's fscking over the purveyors of this mess, the corporations who bought legislation turning IP into a form of business combat. Please don't dilute my pleasure of watching them hoisted by their own petard. There's plenty of time ahead for worrying.
Read once and you'll never forget such priceless mi2g classics as:
The firm's "news alert" -- available to reporters willing to pay 50 for it -- says hackers brought down "nine servers belonging to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory" just seven hours after the shuttle exploded...
and
"For example, Forno draws our attention to a 'spooky November 11' briefing by mi2g which talks about the need for 'counter-attack-forces' to deal with the threats of 'digital terrorism' in the '5th dimension defence shield' against 'digital mass attacks' and notes that it's 'not a question of if, but when' such attacks will occur.
Read this crap and mi2g's report will make you more confident about running Linux.
Valve is saying NVidia won't work with HL2. This isn't fanboy speak, Valve will suffer financially for this. Many NVidia owners will forego HL2 for releasing these numbers. Far from making sense, your accusation is the polar opposite of Valve's action - being brutally honest about performance issues at the expense of sales.
VIA chipset? Try shuffling your PCI cards around. One slot shares an IRQ with the AGP slot and can wreak havoc with the video (Abit KT7a-RAID owner.) HL1 DM locked at 100 FPS (hack the max_fps setting in the config) for me with a Ge3 Ti 200.
Because Microsoft makes Windows and Valve doesn't make ATI cards? Because Valve risks losing half their potential sales by being honest and by telling NVidia owners (myself included) their cards won't work? HL2 is most anticipated FPS release in years, do you really think it doesn't pain them to do this?
Sounds like an 800 will be enough if you're happy with jerky 320x240 256 colour. Or did Gabe mean these are the requirments to play the opening splash screen? The fastest consumer card in the world in a 2.8 GHz P4 got mediocre perfromance, 60 fps running 1024x768 32 bit colour. Both numbers are considered by gamers to be at best 'adequate', I play HL1 1600x1200x32 70+ FPS with a Ge3 Ti200 in OpenGL.
Speaking of, any word of OpenGL support?

On the other hand, it could get interesting if the Latter Day Saints thought SCO's unchristian acts reflected badly on their community. Yarro is after all Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Angel Partners. Not that I'm suggesting anything.:)
I don't think publicity is the problem, "I Love You" was front page for weeks. It's Microsoft's ability to spin the blame to the virus author and portray it as a an act of vandalism, deflecting attention from Windows' design deficits. This posture won't last forever and we're already starting to see indications in the popular press of the focus turning back towards Microsoft.
Patching the one machine in your den or mom's basement is not in the same league as scrambling to fix 50-100 spread across 300 miles when computer support is only part of what your staff does for a living. And I know we have it easy. Frankly, we're really, really tired of working for the Microsoft Q&A department and I would start the push to drop Windows tomorrow if an alternative met our proprietary software needs.
It's Mozilla's Gecko engine with a different skin, hardly a "new freaking browser" in the same sense as Konq. Look at the interface, what do you personally find confusing about the Back Forward Home Stop.... layout universal in all browsers that makes this a problem? Sun, RedHat, etc are the equivalent of " Everyone, their dog, and their 2-bit Saturday whore thinks they need to develop another web browser to share with the community"? Not counting little-known, ancient text browsers, which surely you aren't suggesting are "part of the force that is killing desktop acceptance in the open-source community", and re-skinning of the Gecko or Konq engine, which aren't really "new freaking browsers" name the 39 alternatives to Epiphany. I'd be interested.

True, but the results aren't 3D representations. It's harnessing the power of 3D hardware to provide faster, cleaner 2D.
emerge /usr/portage/x11-misc/fsv/fsv-0.9.ebuild
Note that it first scans the directory in which it starts, so don't use the one that happens to have a 120 NFS partition mounted. ;D

No solution is complete until it generates revenue for an authority. So never ask "does everyone get fined" lest you give them new ideas.
Only in Quebec. It's required to power the horizontal traffic lights.

Better yet, an option to mount a USB dongle under /home. It's a trivial mod to any Live CD and would make an amazing portable computing environment.

What about behind the firewall? You really believe there are no other risks than the PIX when thousands share a corporate WAN?
