Shouldn't AOL be the people policing the spam ? The last people qualified to distinguish between a piece of spam from a normal piece of email are AOL users. For god's sake, how do you think the MyDoom virus got spread ? people not knowing how to properly identify illegitmate email. You would think AOL be able to identify the fact that their users are at the bottom of the food chain when it comes to online aptitude.
How would opening the source up benefit Sun ? It would obviously benefit the open source community and give Sun their respect, but Sun is out to make profit, and even in the long run I don't see how they can make more money. Besides, Sun knows java best, granted, open source developers could make improvements but people are going to use java regardless. Only until a new bit-code type programming language with the cross-platforming capabilities of java and a substantial amount of users, will Sun consider releasing the source. Sun is out to make money, not win friends, and I don't think they will loose many customers because they aren't releasing their source.
Thats what most "public" documentaries are like. And when I say "public", I mean documentaries that are aired on suchs networks as Discovery and PBS. These documentaries aren't written for phd laureates, they are written by in large for the general public. The majority of the documentaries on Discovery for instance, use lots of visuals, usually in the form of CG, and very little content. Take for instance Discoveries "Walking with Dinosaurs" special. They used a lot of story telling, CG, but not much in the name of biological/environmental facts. Of course it wasn't based on a book but I think it proves a point. Now I haven't seen this particular documentory or even read the book for that matter (maybe I shouldn't be writing anything about it), but it's not suprising that they don't go into very much depth. Also from my experience, any television programming or movie adapted from a book looses a large chunk of content anyways, strictly based on that fact the time allotted for the documentory couldn't properly cover all the material in the book. And yes, the masses are stupid, not that I'm much further ahead.
I think that new 17 by 17 cm motherboard is certainly deserves merit. If it's as modular as a normal sized motherboard I think it would be useful. They only problem is that there probably isn't anything available to put on it yet. I wonder if any new standards will come out of it as well.
egged cars, or lit shit on people's door steps. As bright as these young people are, I think it's unfortunate that they have missed out on some of the more enjoyable things in their adolescents, especially the home schooled kids. If they truly enjoy it though, more power to them.
Wouldn't it be true that these countries would have an easier time implementing IPV6 ? Their countrie's internet infrastructre can't be nearly as mature as the United States, therefore I'm sure it would be a lot cheaper/less complicated to implement the protocol. The United States would also have to contend with the the private sectors wants/needs which rely on this infrastructure heavily. I dont think that would be as prevalent in these Asian countries.
The most annoying thing is getting the grafix drivers to work properly. When I was trying to get UT2003 to work, I found the install to be the easy part, but finding the proper drivers and installing them was the most difficult part.
Did these teams at all test their robots before competing or did they just straight line it. Surely they would have scoped out their designated path prior to competition and tested some similar paths.
I would definitly have to agree. One other thing that may help, is introducing the kid to video games. This may sound like a counterproductive idea at first, but video games give children an outlet for social interaction, and is something almost all kids at that age are involved with. Also, Lego is a great social/constructive activity for young children.
From the experience i'v had at public school (assuming that this kid is in grade k -8), karate usually gives the child a false sense of power. I remember kids that took karate got picked on even more because they were still pussy's but they thought they were tough.
If you didn't have as many assholes out there pulling bullshit cases and getting exhorbitant "awards" - You wouldnt have the Democratic party. Those crooked funds are helping to fight the Republicans and potentially oust president George W Bush. Do your country a favour, get injured and sue.
Then we could start a blacklist of people who are posting blacklists of doctors with blacklists. Then and only then will we know if their blacklists are legitimate.
That has to be the absolute most lamest song I have ever heard in all my time on the Internet. It's a cross between New Order and a rocket science textbook.
When this technology finally comes into fruition, would it not basically put the ISS out of buisness ? You could basically do all of the things the space station does but also be able to lift and unload new cargo without launching rockets. And if this technology is only 2-3 years away, won't this be ready before the station is even built ?
Who cares if Mars gets contaminated. What could happen ? A group of aliens with hostile intentions will evolve and attack us in 500 million years ? I think its safe to say that a microbe won't spread around the entire planet and damage it indefinitely. The only reason I could think of not contaminating mars is that there might be possible conflicts with evidence of past life, but wouldn't it be relatively easy to tell the difference between 100 000 year old bacteria and the crap that came with the ship ?
It was found that a tainted shipment of Congressional office stationary notepads were 1/4 inch too large, and the letterheads were clearly in Western font which is simply inexcusable. A full inquiry will be launched in the coming weeks.... Lets pray to god someone gets to the bottom of this.
As soon as Linux is ready for the desktop, Microsoft is going to hell. Nobody is going to want to pay for software let alone software which is strictly limited in variety.
If Microsoft was smart, they would stop trying to suck every penny out of every company, and start producing software which doesnt limit a users choice. And with DRM in Longhorn, there is going to be even more incentive to migrate to Linux.
Because its really so hard to walk ten feet and try on new clothes.
On another note when I try on clothes I like to see how they feel(ie too tight/loose), and I like to see what it looks like up close in a mirror, also what if the computer some how manipulated the clothes to make you look better than you really do look? Your probably just going to end up trying them on eventually anyways.
And besides, is it really that difficult to visualize yourself with a shirt on ? I should hope not.
This is a stupid idea and it will never work.

Wow, thanks for pointing that out, I never understood what he was trying to say.

What Microsoft does considers a failure.
Turns out, high licensing fees, lack of simple implementation, security leaks and server downtime... Could have fooled me

Did they take the curvature of the earth into account? I didn't think so.
This is not my sig

They should name these coins after George Bushes fiscal advisors.

unuG5ium or unuPowerPCium, pentium doesnt deserve such an honour, we are talking about cpu's right ?
