Maybe it doesn't happen where you live, but I've seen how much damage road construction can cause when not done properly. I've seen mile wide stretches of complete destruction of the vegetation down the hill from a road where they simply push all the rubbish off the side down the mountain. Due to the subsequent erosion, it can never grow back. It simply washes away when it rains, carrying the destruction down even further, until it hits the valley floor, where it will contaminate river. But you needn't worry. It's not near YOUR house. So why should you care?
Time to get my gun and get me a capitalist.
If you knew(or cared about) the true nature of capitalism(as practiced today), you probably wouldn't be so quick to defend it.
Paraphrasing: C'mon Sammy, sing us a song. Jeez Arch, leave the man alone. How would you like it if someone came up to you and said, "Hey Archie, let's see you do some loadin' an liftin'."
We can take to the real extreme and say that every atom in the universe has the potential to become human(We're all just star dust...right?) So the argument is always going to be "Just how close is too close for comfort?". Just because I am one, I don't feel that humans are different from anything else, and judging the way most humans treat each other, they must feel the same way. I always wished that we could could treat the living as well as we claim to treat the pre-born or even some dead bodies. We biuld better graveyards than houses sometimes. Buckminster Fuller even mentioned that we give our office equipment better housing than we do for humans. This is not a political issue. It's just being used as a diversion by some to maintain their power over others, and I have to admit it works pretty well. How unforttunate!
My machine won't boot until I disconnect my external drive. The really silly thing to me is when you reboot with a floppy in the drive and the machine will just tell me the there is a non system disk in the drive(all this depends on boot order in BIOS.) Well, Jesus H. Christ! If the disk is not a system disk, just boot the next available device WITH the damn system on it! The mac handled it by ejecting the floppy. Since a pc can't do that, it should be able to determine where the system disk is!(sorry about the grammar) Stupid PC's:-)
Sorry guy...MY computer, MY rules. If they don't like it they can take their damn site down. So simple it can't possibly be true, but you were joking...right??
Jeez. Even I can tell you they are dead wrong. Most economies are a series of gov't protected monopolies. Tha includes the US. The only real free markets are those involved in contraband, free of all outside influences, unfettered by gov't regulation, available at all hours, every day. It involves the buyers and sellers only.
When will these fucktards learn to stop pissing taxpayers money away on "futurists" to help enslave us...
When you vote them out of office. The majority of people posting here have that power. Otherwise, you're just enslaving youselves. If you can't out vote the whackos, then pick up a gun and defend yourself.
and, pray tell, what makes you think Moore's law can possibly be applied to the price, size, capabilities of these machines?
Well, if the consumer were to excerise their power, they could make the price go any way they want it to. The fact that the price of laser eye surgery(and many other things like software and CD's for instance) hasn't gone down is simply due the consumer's willingness to pay that price. You have the power. Use it.
In fact, it's precisely Moore's law that makes silicon chips so special.
Ther's nothing special about silicon. It's nothing more than market forces. We can apply the same force to anything.
Woo hoo..back to vinyl...guarateed to last much longer than any CD. I'm starting a new service. Archiving your videos to film and your music collection to vinyl and you tax records on paper. And I'm not going to use that disappearing ink that most ink jet printers seem to use now. I have some two year old docs that are fading fast. It's the only way your grandkids are going to see how we lived in the day. Otherwise you'll be backing up your back ups every couple of years or so due to format changes or whatever.
You're absolutely right. It is depressing, but we still make progress. It will go much faster once we get IP out of the way. This thing here could help us do just that.
...or about the size of a dime. When coupled with a similarly sized gas-fueled microturbine (or jet) engine...his is still just a quarter of the problem
It's much more reliable to back up your data and do a fresh install. I experimant with upgrades, but even(or especially) with linux, I prefer to clean the disk and start fresh. Apple on the other hand(before OS X anyway, don't know if it still is) was great. It would just create a clean new system folder. With the old one still there, I could just "bless" it if necessary. Oh, well...There's still nothing more trustworthy than pen and paper, and a good ol' mimeograph machine(the hand crank variety) for makin' copies...And they smell great.

I think I'll wait until after I die for that one.

You don't even have to work. If that check Grandma sent you for Christmas is big enough, you'll have to report THAT.

Can someone explain what this "large" benefit is?
Mr. Underwood makes more money? On the list of the bizaar, this one is right up there.
...where you could drink straight urine and come out ahead.
Oooohhh, if I could only hook up a generator to Dr. Freud's whirling skeleton right now.

the first time someone smashed a cockroach. There's a Simpsons episode there somewhere.
Try to look at it from a "desire for money/power" point of view, and the logic and motivation for this becomes crsytal clear.

How much is it without the rehearsal?
You can't afford it.

Just how many trucks were hijacked?
260 MINUTES
I don't think I could stand that much Mike Wallace, Morely Safer, and Andy Rooney.
Probably the only thing that was deployed on to those 80,000 machines was nCASE.
They should'vestarted with their version of the DMV. I bet nobody would have noticed any slowdown.

Ok...then we fabricate another planet, another universe if we have to...what's your point? :-)
