Bytes, bits, and nibbles, all standard. I agree. Now a word... that is architecture dependent. You can have a 16bit word, 32bit word, or 64bit word. And yes, a byte is 8 bits for the last 20 years at least.
They've already began to fracture the enemy, an interesting twist. The Xinidi reptilians and perhaps the insectoids look as though they will remain evil, while the Federation will come to an agreement with the others. Meanwhile, the transdimensional beings seem to be the major evil for the next year.
I like the twist.
I like Enterprise. No, I really like Entrprise. It's not high art, it's not religion, it's entertainment! And they are getting better. At times even a little gritty, (a good thing).
Remember back, TOS - ground breaking, but some really dopey episodes. And the constant attempts at levity got really annoying. TNG - Data's constant navel gazing: "Why am I not a real little boy Geppetto?". The lame holodeck vehicle for plots. DS9 - One of the best, from what I've seen, but they kept moving the darn thing, and it took that show 3 years to find a groove. VOYAGER - Gilligan's Island meets Star Trek. That show was lost in many ways. I tried to hang in with it, I really did. Ick.
I like that Enterpise has real challenges. Things that don't work. They can't just blast whatever they see. The effects are good, as are most, but still, credit where it's due. The cast is good, I like the characters. Even Archer, he's played as a guy under real stress, not some comic book character.
Don't get me wrong, TOS was very good. TNG was good, at times, when it didn't try to preach too much. (Thanks for the Borg). I need to catch up on DS9. But I don't miss Enterprise. I have refused Neilson boxes in the past, but if offered again, I'll take it and tune in to Enterprise.
I disagree. I know just enough to render a router inoperative. I've had 2 classes, not a lot of experience, and I'm quite dangerous. Now if you want me to make one of the darn things work... that's a whole different story.
Well, the world may be getting smarter, but I'm not sure that holds true for Americans. Our TV culture and a whole generation that seems plagued with ADD/ADHD seems to indicate a downhill slide in this corner of the world.
If you like IE try slimbrowser - www.flashpeak.com - I run it at work, and at home. Work is on Win2kpro, at home, XPpro. Runs well on both, has tabbed browsing, and built in pop up blocker. And it's really compact, I think it uses some of IE's underpinnings, but I haven't gotten much, other than the run of the mill spyware you get from daily surfing.
Oh, and keep the OS patched, a pain, but a must.
I agree, it's how it SHOULD be. I don't mind seeing advertisements, banners, ads that are embedded in the page. They need to make a buck, and that doesn't disrupt the flow of page viewing.
What I really dislike are popups, and the floating ads that get in the way of the content and navigation.
I use slimbrowser, so popups haven't been an issue for me for some time. And I'll upgrade/change browsers to keep up with the blocking blockers!:P
In it's purist form capitalisim has nothing to do with morality, ethics, or patriotism. That's why we need anti-trust laws. People just tend to screw things up.
The flaw in the arguement of the article is: If CollabNet can't offshore, jobs will be lost. Wrong, CollabNet is doing it on a wing and a prayer, but what they do, if it's an essential service will be done by someone. So, CollabNet folds, and HomeNet comes in, and does it all with talent locally. The cost is, the consumer pays a higher price to get the service. But, there are more workers domestically who are able to buy the goods the consumer produces.
I'm not buying this bill of goods.
I agree. It's the same model as Microsoft used to use. The fact that you could easily pirate Microsoft stuff was no accident. You steal it, and use it, and eventually, you're hooked. You buy it. This model will work for music.
It's a catch 22. There are already lots of folks that want us dead if for no other reason than we are alive, (can you say al-Quiada?) I don't have a solution, just a question: How much do you lose playing nice before you quit playing nice? Of course I presuppose that you will lose playing nice. I have a somewhat jaded view given the documented corruption in the U.N., and most of the world leaders. If you have the view that once we play nice, everyone will see it, and we'll all hold hands and sing Kumbya then I guess your much different than I am.

Thank God it wasn't me, I would have cussed him out in Christianity. Hindi is the language. Hindu is the religion.
Give him a break, it's not like our language is called Christianit and the religion is Chrisitanity. Hindi, Hindu, honest mistake.
If your 20gig iPod reports 18megs, it's broken, take it back. :)

Ok, I'll admit it too. The theme song has grown on me too, but *gasp* I liked the slower version.

You got that modded to 4 as funny?! Just sounded like a "lunatic" rant to me.

Appropriate choice of partner for NYT. AlQaida and NYT go together like Hitler and Leni Riefenstahl!
If I recall correctly, the moon doesn't rotate on it's axis, therefore, a lunar day is forever. That's why the moon has a dark side and a light side.
