A farmer got so old that he couldn't work the fields anymore. So he would spend the day just sitting on the porch.
His son, still working the farm, would look up from time to time and see his father sitting there. "He's of no use any more," the son thought to himself, "he doesn't do anything!"
One day the son got so frustrated by this, that he built a wood coffin, dragged it over to the porch, and told his father to get in. Without saying anything, the father climbed inside.
After closing the lid, the son dragged the coffin to the edge of the farm where there was a high cliff. As he approached the drop, he heard a light tapping on the lid from inside the coffin. He opened it up.
Still lying there peacefully, the father looked up at his son. "I know you are going to throw me over the cliff, but before you do, may I suggest something?"
"What is it?" replied the son. "Throw me over the cliff, if you like," said the father, "but save this good wood coffin. Your children might need to use it."
Q was the biggest problem in that series. Whenever thy needed a way "out" he was there to whisk away the problem.
Q was made to look super-powerful.. but what about that scene where Guinan and Q were face to face? Woah there. What happened with this line of events? Nothing.
And yet, Wesley Crusher was being taught by "The Traveller". That show was just wonderful, and made you want to see future possibilities in this sequence of plot. Yet, the Borg was rehashed or some holodeck ep was made instead.
---Of course, the advantage to having an easy to break code is that the human genome project would be a lot harder if our DNA were protected by some kind of strong encryption.
Heh, it is. Why you think it's sooo hard to determine? Every set has a different code, and with multiple millions of prereqs adjustine each code.. You think a newbie playing with vsual basic creates "spaghetti code" ? heh heh
I say do it, not knowing ANY patents, and IF a company comes a-swaggering in, give the "I dunno what you mean, im just a free open source guy. I dont make anything on this" argument.

"When I think of a guy doing 60 hours or more for a salary I think "what a mug".
There is no such thing as employer loyalty, so the sycophantic 60 hour types are just screwing it up for everyone else. "
This is exactly what I think... If I worked for a company, which I do, who cared for my well-being, and honestly creates a good working experience, I'll do wwhat I can to help them. Last I checked, I still am at-will at this job, but I'm also seen as dependable.
The second this situation changes (new management, new regulations, new owner..) Ill wait and probably jump ship. DO I have an honest belief that I hope that the product is made correctly? As long as I get paid and have a stable working environment, I do.
I accet this job SOLELY for the money. The "Job" acceps me cause I can make a profit and the skill.
Wow, you really scream liberal (in the worst sense of the word).
In a (gasp!) for-profit company, people are hired for a job, so that the company MAKES money off of you.
A person is expected to do X amount of work for the time worked. Thats a simple hourly schedule, but common on the lower and consultation classes. The upper-level jobs use a money per event accomplished. No matter what you do, you end up making money for the company.
However, what happens if certain processes end up costing more money than they return? The company stops that process.
What happens if the person costs more money than they produce? The company stops the job.
For everybody in a company (in a public company, even the president), they are all resources. They must have a return on money than they make, as to stay profitible.
Why should I show loyalty to "my" company if they are willing to leave me soo quickly? I show no loyalty, as they show me no loyalty.
Even with dual-layer DVD's, I still see half-way filled up DVD's or movies filled with compression artifacts just to keep from using dual layers.
It doesnt matter what the movie is, there's almost guaranteed to be 2 releases AT MINIMUM. One is for the basic movie.. and then for the movie with extras. Popular movies are guaranteed to have at least 4 different releases.
---And it is even better than the HD-DVD solution, since instead of two sided media, it uses a triple layer structure on one side (one layer of 33.5GB for Blu-Ray, then two layers for 9GB of dual layer DVD data)"
Its not the amount of space you have, but the content on it..
When there's Umpteen Million releases of the same movie, who gives a flying fuck?
Do you wanna buy Lord of the Rings 1?
LOTR 1 stripped no goodies. LOTR 1 some goodies. LOTR 1 lots of goodies not found on "some goodies" LOTR 1 3 disc crammed set of goodies, but not same goodies as "lots of goodies"

Would you also consider testing "sweets" on humans here in the US as murder, even knowing that the "sweets" do nothing?
Why? It's called medical studies. People choose to be in a study and take a chance of being in the placebo group. They literally receive a "sugar pill".
Then again, your analogy provides one hell of a placebo group;-P All of africa.

Not by far..

Erm, why not crossbows? very quiet, and easily poison tippable. It is a somewhat largish devicem but sure can be shrunken.
Then do what Mplayer does. Move website to Hungary and email accts to match..
Your point? These protocols were made years ago, back when the internet was a bunch of colleges and .mil bases.
If there was a mean or stupid user, you personally went over to meet them, and had a "friendly chat" before you rip his lungs out.
However, these days, there's billions of people on the internet, with many millions wanting to cause problems for others.
I dunno, I think POP, ftp, telnet and such had its purpose.. perhaps not now.
What kind of a person would research this?

Nonono, wait a year, then hawk it on eBay for 5 grand ..
"Honestly if Windows shipped with the default to delete everything over 90 days old, turned on, a lot of people would actually probably like it."
You're a retard.
And Ive a 22 level President that has 3 lvl 12 secretary minons that suck dick to increase constitution ;P
And the president can smoke cigars with no ill effects!
Substitute "Counterfeiting" or "Treason" instead of spammers.
*thinks of what Constitution says about federal crimes...
And if I recall correctly, Linux kernel does support MISC binaries.. Though Ive not looked far into it.
It does seem to allow execution of a binary through an emulation layer, as you suggested.
Then how do you explain teh Dallas 1-line bus?
Of course they wont. Thats my point.

Was it a PHONE survey? Please dont say it so..
---Maybe even give them some age-appropriate japenese language games.
And the first thing I though about was Hentai Games....
