This reminds me of the claim of extreme programming that working in pairs increases productivity. I think it's just because you feel more guilty screwing around when the other guy is working, so you both end up working. Kind of a prisoners' dilemma, I guess.
Since many of these old games (and applications) don't generate revenue in any way, shape or form for the company any longer, why don't they release them under a license so that
the general public can use them without fear of breaking EULAs or copywrite law?
Sounds good, but that's a long way from saying Since they don't generate any revenue, why aren't the owners required to release them under a license... which is what you're pretty much saying when you trade abandonware. The difference is in one case, the owner agrees to release the copyright, in the other, you decide for them. I don't think anyone is opposed to your idea, but that's not what abandonware is all about.
I just use it for #2. In fact, I'd be willing to pay for it, especially if it were a little better in a few ways: more drivers (hardware support) and more popular software (photoshop, quicken,...), either fully compatible or the actual apps on linux.
Sure, linux is pretty good in these areas, but I'm still not using my USB camera with it, firewire was tough to get built into it, I can't trade a lot of files with my mom and uncle.
If Micros~1 stepped in, I might see the advances in hardware and software that I think are necessary before I can run linux in a micros~1 world and not have to constantly make little concessions for it.
I think you're right that I would never run Microsoft's distribution, but I think that they would make some pretty nice advances for all Linux users.
strangely reminiscent of this.
There's probably going to be more and more effet put into tying together the Internet and the PSTN. I wonder what methods are going to make the most headway?
I've got all the jpg's and the.html page so far. The gifs are hard to get for some reason. I've edited a copy of the html page so that the img references point to my own mirror, but since all the inline images are the gifs, it doesn't look that good yet. If you click on the jpg links below the images, they are there. I'm not even gonna worry about the tiffs.
As always with my mirrors: This ain't my work. don't blame me for the problems with the content. I may have made slight changes to the html to make the images work on my machine. If you own or created this work, I'm just trying to do you a favor; if you don't want me to, just mail me. I usually pull these down within a while anyway.

There are many that are for a "flat" tax and our current "flat" fine system. Unfortunatly, flat mean
regressive. What a progressive tax and fine system does is make the actual cost incurred by the person
equal across economic classes.
Almost all of the flat tax plans that I've heard of (most notably the one advocated by Steve Forbes in the 1996 election) mean "flat" as in a flat percentage of your income. Therefore the "actual cost" (as you have redefined it) of the tax for each person is the same under a flat tax scheme.
This to me seems more like what you are advocating for the punitive fines. It follows the equal percentage of your income logic that was in the last part of your comment. It is different from what is currently in place in the US where you pay a higher percentage of your income if your income is larger.
I think the analogous tax scheme of our current traffic fine scheme would be something like where everyone pays $20,000 per year. Perhaps not too bad for you or me, perhaps simple to Warren Buffet, but horribly difficult for the mailman or bus driver. I would agree with you that that would be a horrible plan.
I would argue that the flat tax plan actually makes the "actual cost" incurred by the person equal across economic classes.
How can the fifth post of an article be moderated as "Redundant"? When I began composing this post, there were no other comments on the article at all. Think a little bit, please moderators.
To me, the power in this is not that you can search through other peoples' bookmarks, it's that you can store your bookmarks here.
I use about 3 or 4 different computers in a week, and I actually do use bookmarks in my browsers. This means that I end up bookmarking stuff on one machine, and then not having it at another when I use it.
I'm not sure how many other people have a similar problem, but this service appears to solve it. The average slashdot reader and myself have webservers and the ability to hack together a few perl scripts, or the knowledge to find and mail our.netscape/bookmarks.html files around to keep our boomarks synchronized and always available if we want, but how can most people do this?
I would imagine that this service would be useful to the average multi-computer user. Is this the best solution you have seen for this problem? What other methods do you employ to move bookmarks from one machine to another and keep your bookmark files in sync with each other? Is this the best type of solution we can provide to users for this kind of poblem? Do you think that it's widespread enough that a good solution would be used by many people?
Excellent. Actual useful, concise information in a slashdot comment. It's been a while. It even appears that you may have used the "preview" button. Thank you. I promise you will receive total conciousness on your deathbed.
By the way, is this "hellmouth" thing the reason that Buffy is so hot?

Report # 44
Tuesday, October 31, 2000 ^Ö Noon CST
Mission Control Center, Houston, Texas
The Expedition 1 crew, secure in its Soyuz spacecraft, continues on course for a rendezvous and
docking with the International Space Station, inaugurating a new era in human space flight.
Following their launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 1:53 a.m. CST today, Soyuz Commander Yuri
Gidzenko, Expedition 1 Commander Bill Shepherd and Flight Engineer Sergei Krikalev successfully
deployed docking probes on the Soyuz and checked out the spacecraft^Òs motion control systems.
On two consecutive orbits, daily orbits 3 and 4, phasing burns were completed to keep the Soyuz
on course for its rendezvous with the International Space Station. A third rendezvous burn is
scheduled just before 3 a.m. tomorrow to slightly raise the Soyuz orbit and slow the rate at
which it is approaching the space station.
During communications passes over Russian ground stations this morning, the crew talked with
flight controllers, providing updated information on the performance of the Soyuz spacecraft and
the crew^Òs activities. During their final communications pass of the day, the trio confirmed a
successful test of the external camera that provides cues during rendezvous and docking, and
reported all crew members were feeling well. Shepherd, Gidzenko and Krikalev went to sleep
about 9 a.m. CST today and will awaken about 6:30 p.m. CST to begin the second day of what^Òs
planned to be a four-month stay in space.
Flight control teams in Houston have activated life support systems and air purification units
on board the space station, readying the outpost for the arrival of its first residents early
Thursday morning. In addition, the flight controllers will support tonight^Òs undocking of the
Progress resupply vehicle, currently docked to the same port on the Zvezda module of the station
to which the Expedition 1 crew will dock Thursday. The Progress will undock at 10:02 p.m. CST
today, and shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday will be commanded into a trajectory that will cause it
to burn up in the Earth^Òs atmosphere.
Coverage of the Expedition One crew^Òs voyage to the International Space Station will continue
on NASA TV and through live video streaming on the internet at spaceflight.nasa.gov. The next
status report will be issued about 8 p.m. today or sooner if events warrant.

Um, I think you used the "refine this search" link. It was trying to refine your red search with blue ones.
No images, just the text, but it works.

I have seen first hand (or is that mouth?) the trade of sex (not as the president would define it) for a bag of pot.
The pot would have lasted longer, but the head was pretty good.
Not that it should change your view on public policy, or anything, though.
By the way, is this "hellmouth" thing the reason that Buffy is so hot?
