Why do I keep hearing people on/. using this phrase? Is it because it carries more shock value? I'm not a fan of the RIAA or their practices, but the people they are suing (warrented or not) are serving out thousands of songs. In this fashon, they are not acting as customers of the RIAA.
However, I have no problems with any kind of lag. This includes all video connections.
Slightly offtopic, but...

Check out the bonus disk in the new DVD set. There's a section showing behing the scenes pictures of all three movies. I was floored when I saw the caption to a picture showing Han and the actor playing Greedo pointing guns at each other in the canteena scene.
Han Solo (Harrison Ford) prepares to shoot first in the original version of A New Hope. The Rodian bounty hunter Greedo was portrayed by actor Paul Blake, shown here sans mask.
Why is Bush and his administration against stem cell research again ???
A common misconception here on/. is that Bush is against stem cell research. The fact is that he's not. He is against stem cell harvesting from aborted fetuses. The law he signed bans only federal funding for stem cell research that uses fetus stem cells. This does not prevent private research in this area at all. In fact, there are now ways to harvest stem cells from adults, and thus doesn't have the same moral complications as the previous method.
Yeah go ahead and mod me troll. Seems like an awful lot of money to spend on an intellectual pursuit when a few African kids starved to death while your were reading this.
You sure spent a lot of money on that computer you used to post that message. You could have fed a few African kids with that kind of money.
Is this the United States the Founding Fathers built, or Stalinism by way of Kafka?
No. John was just putting words into the judge's mouth. He was trying to get the judge to rule on a law without giving a case for it being unconstitutional. How's a judge supposed to rule on that?
OSS can help small businesses get the foot in the door when trying to enter into a competative market. When every penny counts, OSS is a big way to save money needed for startup costs.
Don't forget that the sun won't hit all 4 sides of the bulding. With the angle of incomming light, and the position of the sun during the day/season, you'd be lucky to get even a third of your calculated total electricity produced.
Then, why do they buy a company that produces windows only software ? Shouldn't they go for multiplatform / opensource software ? Isn't this Sun's and IBM's and Novell's strategy ?
Who says they won't make it crossplatform? They can do anything they want with it now.
My two cents on this matter: we can learn more from using telescopes such as hubble than we can by going back to the effing moon.
I hate to say it, but...Hubble is just a telescope. There... I said it. It's only real advantages over ground based telescopes are its position above the atmosphere, and greater sky viewing range.
A base on the moon would have HUGE advantages over Hubble. With no atmosphere, and better accessability for repairs and upgrades, a moon based telescope would be a far greater asset then Hubble. I'm also sure there are many other research possiblites a new environment like this will provide.
Your right. I'm sure that if tomorrow, Bush announced a new plan for viable fusion energy production, the anti-Bush zealots on/. would cook up yet another conspiracy theory linking him to so-called "Buddies in Big Oil".
The real problem is the forced password changes every 90 days (for me), and the half-dozen (at least) passwords I have to change every time. Thank God my IT doesn't check for reused passwords, or I'd have to resort to writing them all down, or picking insecure sequences.
And he used to kick my butt in Atari 2600 video games. He had very limited use of his hands, and could only hold the controller, while moving the joystick with his chin.
It's nice to see some gaming devices being made to help people with limited movement abilities.
I think what's scary is that they've developed a treatment that spreads itself just like a virus, along with HIV. What that means is that once it's in the wild, it's gonna spread like any other virus and, probably, mutate like any other virus.
Not according to the article. This virus doesn't replicate itself, and it can't survive on it's own. The only way it can spread is by piggybacking the HIV, which would be beneficial in supressing the HIV in newly infected persons. However, I agree that benefitial mutations (for the virus) would still be a major concern.

I just figured out how to make ANYBODY spill the beans. Just put terrorists in a room painted entirely in this .

I would just love set up a projector one night, and paint the infamous white memory dump text on the building.

John was just using the classic straw man tactic.

Go for it!!
I'm all for the best processor out there. If it is made by Intel, then so be it. This will just give AMD more reason to compete for my dollar.

Ummmm... You can... and it does.

I want to know if the OSX release will be a free binary to use with the PC release CD. I just don't want to have to buy this thing twice.

Look at that thing! It's just a giant leaf collector waiting for fall to come around. I don't want to be the one cleaning it every two weeks.
