Why would you use a whole computer when all you need is a signal and a transmitter?
Of course this reminds me of the story about a guy giving a speech at a chipmaker convention reminiscing how 25 years earlier a guy had given a speech at the same hotel saying the microchip industry will never be that big because you don't need a chip in every doorknob. And here, 25 years later, every doorknob in the hotel had a chip. Go figure.
With the experience they'll gather from real-time linux, may be they can fix yast which takes forever..
Amen. Even on my 64-bit machine, it took minutes to respond. And this was on a fresh install. Overall I really like SuSE, but between that and the lack of mpeg support on 64-bit (yeah, I could kludge it - whatever) it was enough for me to keep on keeping on.
Yeah- the idea is that you don't have to interact with a person. Any more it seems that many people are more comfortable interacting with machines anyhow.
Have you dealth with any of the winners working at the cell phone store? They're almost as bad as Radio Shack associates (or whatever they're called.)
But there was no legal basis for Torricelli to withdraw. He was the candidate selected by the Democrats. There was no vacancy. No franchise was going to be deprived. No election was liable to be voided.
Look at the situation with DeLay for further enlightenment. You don't change the rules midway through if you don't like them. Unless you're the Florida or New Jersey Supreme Courts, that is.
Besides, it wasn't terribly fair to Forrester who had basically won the race, only to have to run a whole new race against a former Senator. But hey, if it's cool to just change the law on the fly, whatever. But this blatant disregard for the law is one of many reasons I left the Garden State.
There was a question as to whether votes for Kerry were on machines before the polls opened in 2004. If you've been in this city you know that Unions only protect one ticket and either scare or beat up the other. Philadelphia has a lot of things - a two party system isn't one of them.
What's most amusing about Democrat charges is that they try to blame Governor's or the Federal system whereas vote control occurs at the local level. (And I won't even get into the NJSC replacing Torch with Lautenberg.)
Active Desktop was IIRC just a way of putting HTML or Animations on the desktop - they weren't programs per-se, that could tell you useful stuff.
Excuse me, but what's the difference? OS X widgets are just HTML, granted with stylesheets and javascript, but still. And sure, it's not right on the desktop, but callable by a hot key, but really, what is the difference? And where are the 'programs per-se' in OS X and whateverKDEwillfinallycalltheirwidgetengine?
They didn't use any of those as an excuse to launch a $500 billion "pet project" against an unrelated country, you've got to give them that. Nor did they use any of those as an excuse to engage in torture or other civil rights abuses.
WWII.
And contrary to your belief, the only way to stop bad guys from trying to kill you, is to kill enough of them that they stop. Ask Japan or Germany. American policy didn't make terrorism. Islam made terrorism. We know this because Islamic terrorism has existed for over a millenium longer than America. Those who attack innocents and use them for shields have no moral high ground and have forfeited their rights under international treaty.
The administration is really good at passing hard hitting, rights reducing legislation and then not backing it up with nearly enough money to make it effective.
The government's job is to pass laws - not pay for things. They pass laws saying I have to register my car - they're not expected to pay for it, too. It would seem like airline regulations should be paid for by airlines and, by extension, passengers. If laws are unfair, there is always recourse through the courts. That's how it works.
However, because they don't let the Democrats table ANY of their terror security bills, they can call themselves tough on security and the Democrats weak, because they didn't pass any terror legislation!
Democrats had effective control of the government for some 60 years from the New Deal through '94, with a few breaks. How'd they do with terrorism? How did they treat the first WTC attack? Kobar towers? The Cole attack? They can still speak and present a plan. Being the minority didn't stop Gingrich for proposing welfare reform, a law Clinton vowed to roll back when they retook the house that he now claims was one of his 'victories'. Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer do not see to have trouble getting airtime.
Secret military tribunals make it safer for you to fly?
Yes. Especially against combatants who do not adhere to the Geneva accords.
Abandonment of due process for American citizens makes it safer for you to fly?
Please cite an example of this. Seriously. And realize that with the suspension of habeas corpus during the Civil War, there is precedent for this. But I would like a current example.
I've been playing with Linux since the Pre 1.0 slack release. I think it was.94 or something. I can't rememebr that far back to be certian, I may still have the CD somewhere though.
I call bullshit. Slackware was a floppy only distro until release 3 or 4. Because if you had installed it, you would remember. Poseur.
Assuming the US package is like the Japan one, it will ship without a packaged game. Wii sports will cost you another 4800 yen (around 41 USD). Hopefully they will round down on the price of the wii for the US and make it $200 rather then $250.
According to TFA, Wii Sports will be included with the package and games will cost around $50, or $10 less than Xbox games. Again, this is from TFA, I don't know if it's wrong, but I do know you fail it.
THis includes GUIs etc. That's why a simple text-based BSOD or oops handler is a better idea than something that tries to do a whole bunch of cute graphics etc (which relies on a whole lot more hardware & software to be working properly).
You are so not a Mac owner based on these statements.
Using the word "virii" is a sign of somebody wanting to appear educated, and failing completely.
So is acting like a Latin grammar Nazi. It's an ongoing debate, deal with it. 'viri' means 'men'. Technically, it's its own plural, however I don't know that Catullus, Cicero or Cato could envision the hosts of the virus we have now.

Are the two really that different? I don't think that they are... they are two sides of the same coin..
Right. Because American corporations are jailing human rights dissenters and harvesting organs from living Falun Gong members (well they're living when the organs are removed - after that they're dead.) I'm betting they don't get anesthesia.
Yup. Two sides of the same coin alright.

That's much better than the prototype I saw, where the robot arm disembowels the customer and spills their entrails all over the linoleum.
Dude, I saw that movie. It sucked.
The sound track rocked, though.

Actually, the current Mayor of Chicago is named Daley. You found his father who gave JFK Chicago in 1960 which some say is why JFK flew to Nixon rather than vice versa.

Yet I still count vi as one of his top contributions. :-)
I'm sure Bill is glad for your support.

Both Iceland and Great Britain, off the top of my head. What is it with the US education system?
I believe when the US revolted, Great Britain was a monarchy (technically.)
And Iceland didn't become a sovereign stat from the Danish crown until 1918 and received full independence until 1944 (as a condition of US victory in WWII, I believe.)
So where did you study, genius?
This is Physics, not Epistemology, dipshit.
Oh wait, you're a troll.
Nice one, centurion. Liked it, liked it.

Depends on which forehead you adhere to (sorry for the pun): Episode TOS 3x11: Day of the Dove or TNG 4x15: First Contact? Doesn't it?

Those who would give up freedom in exchange for security, deserve neither.

"I've been thinking about this Mister Hand. If you're here and I'm here, doesn't that technically make it our time?"
$10 is nothing to businessmen with a $1500 laptop.
As long as he's expensing it. I mean, I ain't spending my $10 on WiFi access during a layover.
THis includes GUIs etc. That's why a simple text-based BSOD or oops handler is a better idea than something that tries to do a whole bunch of cute graphics etc (which relies on a whole lot more hardware & software to be working properly).

Obviously no 40 Year Old Virgin fans in the house.

Dude (in a room full of geeks, no less), do you know how I know you're gay?
Funny you mention that, I'm IM'ing my buddy from Macy's and he wants you to stand up and growl like a dragon...
