That's a little strong. I doubt the FBI still does everything they did back then. I doubt every public figure has as much information gathered about them as they did back then.
I am still boycotting them over napster, the cost of buying the music, and the crap that they try and tell me is music. I haven't bought a cd in a long time. I don't even remember when the last time I bought a cd was.
Use the strings program to find GPL related strings.
A long term approach could be to insure strings get into the code that do mention the GPL and copyright. For a C/C++ file, this could mean including a header file with the GPL & copyright in a string--provided that the string ends up in the executable. Then you run strings and magically the GPL and copy appear. This of course is not a perfect, but there sn't a perfect way to do this.
Sinmple, if I am not watching TV because I am not provided with the services I want, then that's one less viewer that see the comercials and other proganda the push. I may fast forward through commercials on my vcr, but if there is something I might like I watch some if not all of the commercial. Content providers are in the business of providing a service, in this case content, and you won't be in this for long if you do not give your customers what they want. My brother doesn't even watch tv anymore. The reason they should provide me with the capability is simple--if they don't I will look elsewhere for my entertainment.
It really depends on when your trying to access it. Then there is the sites your trying to access, the traffic flow from your computer to the site's servers, etc. If you try accessing the inter at the wrong time (when everybody and their uncle is trying to) you'll see bottleneck no matter what you are using. If you always access the internet during those off times, then you will not notice a difference. It depends on the trafic.
Not just Tivo users, but I am sure a lot of people will not want to switch when they realise they will lose the ability to record when they want, what they want, how often they want, and watch it how ever many times they want. I refuse to switch to digital tv until at least two things happen.
One, the equipment has to be good and cheap. I can't afford to, nor would I, spend $2000.00+ on a digital tv! Not to mention the fact that I will not be able to record the shows in digital. There is not a lot I watch in real time anymore !
I want the ability to record when I want, what I want, how often I want, and watch it how ever many times I want. At this point, it doesn't look like I will have the ability to do this.
I am sticking to my VCR until at a minimum these things get solved! If it happens that I can't watch TV because they upgrade to digital tv without me, then so be it. I know I won't be the only one.
It really depends on your neighborhood and the time of day. The problem with cable modems is everyone in the neighborhood shares the same line. You have peek times when everybody and there uncle gets on and uses there connection, and if a lot of people in your neighborhood have cable modems, this can and does cause a bottle neck which results in slower sspeeds. How slow? That depends. Theoretically, it is possible to be slower than 56k because you don't have a dedicated line as with dial ups and dsl services.
If you live in NYC, you might see this more often, but if you live in the country, you might not see this that much.
I did. I used a network, called a phone, to download lots of programs over this network from BBSs from all over the Eastern US before 1985! I can't be the only one. BBSing was very popular. This patent is stupid and ridiculous. I hope AOL protests this. This would mean we'd actually have to pay something for Linux--a stupid fee to a stupid company! Are the going after MS for infringement with it's Network protcols that allow me to "download"/copy a file from a server at work to my work pc?
IANAL, but there is no contract between Adobe and this law firm. Hence, neither Adobe or Dr Kai-Uwe Sattler need to pay a thing. This is the equivilant of someone cleanning your car without you asking for it, and then demanding you pay them for there effort. This would not stand up in an American court. If this did, watch out. There would be HUGE problems for a lot of companies.
First, shouldn't we be worried the Jon is quoting the unabomber? Well, maybe not. He's probably just going to that place in Redmond.;)
Seriously, I don't think it is a 100% issue. There will always be degrees of exceptance--even in the techie world. I don't have a cellphone, nor do I want one, but I know fellow techies that have to have the latest version. Look at the Amish. For those of you unfamiliar with the Amish, the don't use technology at all (or in some cases very rarely). The use a horse and buggy to go places. This is the complete opposite of the person who has to have the latest technology to play with. A vast majority of the people will fall in between these two extremes.
I don't think we can call AIs a species--if that is what Jon was doing because I am unsure of his intensions.
I think there will be some who are ruled by machines, and there will be those who rule the few machines they have. Given the diversity in humanity, I think both of the cases Jon mentions will happen at the same time to varing degrees. There is not a whole lot of times when something is 100%. I for one refuse to become a cyborg (or borg in Star Trek speak) with machines integrated into me.
The libraries I have in my area can't keep up with the new computer books and sci-fi books. They just don't have the money. A lot of libraries can't afford to purchase a lot of books each year. What's next inter-library loan? Are they going to attack this too?
I plan on seeing it. It looks good. It has to be better than the some of the recent movies...like a whore in love (Moolonwhatever)...see how many cars we can steal (gonenottoosoon)... I am glad not everybody hates it. I hope we get to see more of thise too.
If they hire unknowns to the voices, and use complete animation more often...we can tell SAG (Screen Actor Guild) and the rest of the actors where to go. I can't wait for virtual actors.
Bob sucked to begin with. You were running a GUI on top of a GUI on top of DOS. Considering DOS and Windows wasn't exactly flawless, the problem may not have been with the customized software. Remember Bob was before everybody had 128M of memory.
How will this effect the body's ability to cool off when it is too hot. When sweat evaporates, it cools the body off. If this bacteria eats the sweat, we would lose the ability to cool our bodies off naturally. Not to mention I don't want to introduce another strain of bacteria. Does anyone trust companies that much?
I still would like to know why they incorporated a web browser into product. Why not use an existing one? It seems almost anti-Unix to not to use existing browsers
How abotu we remind them that Linux is a trademark too. We should remind them the ball bounces both ways. Just because they ported somethign to Linux, it doesn't mean they have to, or can, use the name.
Oh course this is assuming they actually have this product, I have been able to get to the sight. I think it's/.ed.
From the article:
"De Icaza noted that, in the beta license, Microsoft restricts seven specific open source licenses, but made an exception of the FreeBSD, an open source Unix (news - web sites) OS that came out of the University of California at Berkeley"
They had to make an exception for that. Then they'd have problems with using the TCP/IP they ship with windows-- which is BSD based!!!
MS R&D = Geek scanning the net for new BSD code to rip off in their world domination using embrace and extend!
Usually the resulting plants are steril. That forces Farmers to always buy their seed from the company. This means if something were to happen to the company or the secret method of creating them was lost, then we'd be out of luck. If they produced crops that were not steril so people could keep some of the better producting one for next years seed, then I wouldn't mind. As always, it comes down to $$$$.
Media companies will probably negoiate the archiving of past media so they can keep the content. I wouldn't be surprised if future contracts actually had a cluase to cover this, and these future contract could also prerequisit the ability to mantain/distribute past articles submitted by an author.
I don't see this as changing the way the media companies do their work. The lawyers will work this out!
Someone would create a ISP company similar to AOL, but with obvious differences. Have windows & Linux clients for the end user, and have all the server side stuff one a Linux platform. This would be great especially if the client/server software was GPLed. It would just need to be easy to understand/use, provide similar features (because all of the big guys provide the same things {AOL, Prodiy, et. al.}), and be reliable. Someone could really make a killing if they got it right, and especially if they managed to get the support of the Open Source community.
Alas, time to stop day dreaming....
I am sick and tired of the greed of a lot of modern artist whether they are writers or musicians (or wanna-bes). This is going to suck in the future. Not mention that all the links to the older stuff that links to it from outside the actually site (like slashdot's links) will nolonger be valid, and this also means it will not be as easy to go back and reference an article (and other types of information done by freelancers) for any reason because the informaiton might be gone.
I was over at ABCNews.com and saw a similar article. In this article, "Jeff Welser, manager of high performance semiconductor technology at IBM, says chips using such strained silicon transistors will be 35 percent faster than chips using similar-sized, non-strained transistors." strained transistors is what they are calling the slimmer transisters.
IBM says they can roll out there by 2003 because new assembly lines wouldn't be need to actuall put the transistors on the chips. Apparently new technology is needed for the underlying silcon-germanium that "stretches" the transistors by forcing them to conform to it's shape.
The article also talks about Intel having created a a smaller transistor. It's 20-nanometers in size, and that's "500 times narrower than a strand of human hair, or about 30 percent smaller than the current fastest transistors being researched". They say you could fit ipto 1 billion on a chip the size of a P4. According to the article a P4 has 42 million transistors on it. This technology will take longer because INTEL has only been able to make a few of these on a chip. They are estimating 2007.

Send them a note to leave librarians alone. They are also offering rewards for turning people in (must lead to an arrest).

Run the strings program on their DLLs and exes. You find BSD stuff all over the place.
