Speaking as a collector of antiquarian books; made of linen paper and just as fine today as they were 300-400 years ago when they were made, I find this curious. I also wonder in 300-400 years how well the kindle interface will work compared to a standard bound book.
Boxxee with Hulu. it has far breater selection, easy to use and very easy to install on a thumbdrive. investigate Boxee for the AppleTV oh yeah: and its free
Azureus is OK...for a Java app...but Vuze sucks.... Constantly clicking HELL NO! on the:
"Do you want to update? OK? Oh Come on! do ya do ya? you REALLY wanna update now doncha? Ok?
button(s) every single use is old....
I do not use plug-ins in Torrent Clients, Firefox or anything else because you CONSTANTLY spend time maintaining them: "Client XYZ needs to restart to use the new thingy do you wanna do that thing now later, never, when hell freezes over, or when you are in a total rush to use this app so I can spend that 5 minutes updating?
This just in: Scientists have determined that the consumption of coffee is good/bad/good/bad/good/bad/good/bad/good/bad for you. Further study is indicated...and totally dependent on grant procurement.
actually HDTV takes 20mhz compressed and squirted in a 6mhz stream. thus pixelization and dropped signal if it comes in at all, which it does not where I live. My options are 1 cable 2 no TV. I choose option 2. Why pay for dreck?
Follow the Money someone once said... The whole reason analog Television was killed was spectrum. Lovely lovely spectrum. A TV channel takes up a lot of room. The entire AM dial would fit inside Channel 2 with room to spare for ship to shore radio. The advantage of this is that even marginal signals will come in with a little fuzz. On the other hand, Digital takes up far less room. The disadvantage is that marginal channels just simply drop, pixelize or freeze. White space is the room around the digital channel signal. Personally, since I get over the air analog (about 14 stations), and come 2009 will receive about 1.5 stations thanks to this (A big hill between my antenna and the broadcast tower), I think its great becasue I do not watch broadcast TV anyway. Worry about THEM apples Advertisers!
plugh! or was it xyzzy?:) there are several Apple II emulators that allow programming in Apple Basic or even Merlin Assembler (65816) for both Mac and Windows. Sweet16 is the best of OS X (a port of Bernie ][ the Rescue from BeOS; originally on Mac Classic), XGS, KEGS and many others are also out there...
I totally agree and plan on finding out what Americans do on Election Day via shortwave radio from BBC or Radio Sierra-Leon or some other non partisan source on my antique Halicrafters. I am by the way IN the US and a US citizen. Ever consider some other country could run a propaganda station? they might call it..oh I don't know... " Voice of America"...or something....
A little more information: the only access to the data is via the package itself. To be specific the data is in a encrypted folio (.nfo) format. Folio Corp. went through many hands and finally went away. There is no way within the package to print to file (blocked), the data is full of screen shots and other pictures (NOT in jpg. tiff gif bmp pic or any other such format but "folio document picture rendering" format. Each "page" is not rendered as a page but inside a specific window format proprietary to this package. I may be dumb, but the designers of this knowledge base were dumber....
Recently at work we ran into a problem where a "knowledge management" package died. The company had gone belly up and there is no converter. We are printing and re-typing in thousands of pages because there is just no other way. I collect antiquarian books. Funny that a collection of plays printed up in Latin in 1542 only require the learning of a language, yet a knowledge base less then 10 years old is unreadable...
This so reminds me of the tobacco cases that, once won, the wining lawyers turned around and sued the very people they represented because they wanted a bigger share of the blood money.. Somehow the Judge chiding RIAA weasels seems like a morality lesson from the Sopranos...
An operating system has a job to do: Serve files, applications, network and hardware resources and GET OUT OF THE WAY! These basic functions were there in CP/M and ProDOS and have not really changed to this day. How an operating system achieves the basic function is the only true yardstick. Microsoft unfortunately has never been of the get out of the way mind set. Does Program X accessing data Y do it as well today as this same function was performed on the earlier opsys, or, does it 1 crash 2 look funny 3 take forever to load? Every new Windows system since Windows 98 can answer yes to all 3. I want function, not eye candy and tedium getting a interface that works.
Question from a non-tech: Is a hash values somewhat of a signature value? That is, would it be possible for a jpg of "Little Suzie does the Walrus" possibly have the same hash value as "Aunt Gertude writes us about her knitting"?
In AZ there was a story back about 30 years ago of 2 guys out cutting wood who were abducted, probed etc. then let go days later. A Local group called the Wickam Brothers did a song about it. The title of the song was "Why'd they have to let us go in Tuscon?"
I can see the tech marketing ideas; How about a holographic pic projector built into eyeglasses that creates a mask only detectable by a CCD of Joe Normal who looks just like Joe on the passport? If it does not exist yet, then make it a plot device on TV. Star Trek did that to the "communicator" making cell phones as we know them today. Next Retinal masking then, when all else fails; its back to bribing a clerk.
I would buy this because: I am one of those people who wants to be connected to my data but hate people, so...I do not CARRY or even own a cell phone. iPod Touch yes, cell phone no. I would be interested int his if the specs were good. what ARE they by the way? CPU? Speed? memory? drive/SD Size? Screen size, dimensions. that article provides a nice pic and NO information
Well if you had 30 lawyers form a trade group, and sue every user a standard 5-6 grand per use then multiply by how many.....oh wait, it is licensed as free.
Humm well then! Get an advertising firm. Have them work for a powerful software company that makes superior products, design a slick ad campaign staring has-been comedians and zillionaire CEOS and...oh wait, their products suck and aren't Linux anyway. humm...
Looks to me like Linux truly is priceless in the one true coin of the realm: Lawyer and advertising fees...

we need a online equivalent of a Lech Walesa. Look at what came out of one simple strike in a shipyard.....

No one in this thread before you mentioned a candidate. I think your post illistrates my point perfectly Thank you

There were one or two projects left over from the Traf-O-Data days he wants to look into. Also it will be a training school for Bulldozer drivers.

Its been done: Mac OS version 6.0.7 oh wait that was... HOW long ago?
I have been to many many meetings, but never any like you describe.
