Transfer booths, obviously...at least until we license the stepping disc technology from the Puppeteers to cruise around the homeworld. In the meantime the aircars will have to suffice, and anybody who flies them manually gets broken up for the organbanks.
Ok no more late-night Larry Niven reading...reality starting to blur.
How is this dangerous? The dinosaurs will never get loose, and even if they do they'll need the lysine-enriched rice to survive. Just in case we'll put up signs at the park that say "WARNING - Do Not Feed The Velociraptors", and the lawyers can't touch us.
Let's say there was a fork, Sun holds the trademark to the Java name so said fork could not promote itself as "Java." If it did, it would have a lawsuit on its hands that is a guaranteed loss.
If it forked, it would become some other language, and people could decide to use it or not based on its merits.
This has already happened, in the form of a forked up language called C#. Now as for the merits...
The WHOIS data for my domain(s) is not-entirely-accurate, but somehow Register.com still manages to "safe-renew" them every year or so. The billing information is kept non-public (until some d0rk hax0rs the b0x3n, anyway).
Whether Register.com _knows_ the billing and WHOIS information does not match is, however, open for interpretation.
I just bought a new house in a "growth area" just north of Dallas (i.e.- Keep your cats inside or the coyotes will eat them. Really.)...it is outside the DSL range (RT node coming soon, hold your breath) and the cable co's refuse to run lines down my street until more people move in (continue holding breath). My parents think it's hilarious that I didn't immediately disqualify the house.
My only non-satellite alternative turned out to be a wireless broadband service. Their techs mounted a square antenna on my roof, and ran a coax line from the attic down inside the wall to my office. No idea what protocol or band they're using, but the service is 1024up/1024down for $69/mth. Slightly higher than my apartment's DSL line costs, but at least it beats dialup and I don't have to drive in to work when I get paged at 3am.
Gaming latency versus DSL not yet tested. Hold your breath.
First off, since when are online financial transactions secure? And more importantly, is it *really* a good idea to vote using the Internet? Remember, we're talking about a medium where you can search for pages on having sex with goats while on fire, and the engine will return "specify type of goat"... Of course that's just my opinion, you could be wrong.
After a friend told me "DON'T GO SEE THIS ALONE", I was expecting it to be at least a little creepy. Maybe years of camping in the woods (tents are for city-wimps!) has taught me that strange noises and bundles of sticks come with the territory.
Points for an original way of presenting a "horror" movie. Points for the actors for generating believable hysteria and fear. BIG minus points in the "believable scenario", "common sense", and "basic self-defense" departments. All in all, I was not impressed. I'm glad I didn't pay for this one.

What me worry?
110mph in a Winnebago? That's ludicrous...
Wonder if NASA is using liquid schwartz in this thing.

You're new here aren't you?
24th and a half century...get your parody right. :)
I shudder to think of all the uncultured kids these days who don't remember Erin Gray's jumpsuits.
Won't someone _please_ think of the satellites?!?!
Don't worry, Peter and Mary are checking his work in between doobie breaks.
Wait.
Is this guy related to Commander Chode? Lemme go find my crash helmet...
He's the second string choice, now that Mark Hamil has retired.
Number Five Aliiiiive!!!
Amazing what you can find hiding the cobwebs of your mind, isn't it?
I have a digital version of this! Let's see... right now it says "Outlook not so good." Now it says, "Try again later."
Ask it about Exchange Server next...

So if I purchase a license, do I get just a single IP or can I buy an enterprise license and get a full subnet?
Hey as long as we're in fantasy land, why not open up all the stops?
