IANAL so could someone who is explain to me how someone from another country can sue NASA. I mean it seems to me the only athourity NASA is bound by would be the US government. It's a little like complaining about Germeny because they violate West Virginia state law by letting 16 year olds drink beer.
The biggest problem I see is that you assume no one needs them(and I will agree that a suburban house wife does not need an H2 in the driveway). Where I live there are time in the winter that without a high clearence 4x4 vehicle(Jeep Cherokee Sport in my case) I would be unable to get to work for 3 or 4 days in a row, serveral times a winter. While this would be a welcome break for me, I think my boss may complain. I don't call a reliable means of transportation "Living in excess". Although to help cut my gas usage I do ride a motorcycle when it's dry in the summer.
I agree, I would add one thing how ever. Alot of people I know who are into the more obscure process like PT/PD, tintypes or cyanotypes do it because they are tinkers and like learning and perfecting new thigs. Its the same thing which drives electronics geeks. Hey yea I could buy a ham radio from radio shack but I'll learn more if I build it.
The use of the word was in some of these post disturbes me. I have a darkroom and I can assure you Ilford is still making fine paper. In fact this is probaly the best thing that could have happend to the photo industry. It is getting smaller and by focusing the funds of photographers to one or two companies such as Ilford and Agfa they are much more likly to survive the downsize.
There is an old theater about an hour from me that you can rent to have movie parties. They have a really good digital projector and a great sound system. A few people I know rented the place after the last LOTR came out and watched all 3 extended editions back to back.
Projector - $600
screen from ebay - $20
Surround sound - $40
Not paying $10 a ticket to be crowded into a packed theater behind a women with hair taller than me - Priceless
Even though it does not have the base of a more expensive system the cheap surround sound/DVD combo works better than most people expect, and the projector is every bit as good as what you get in the theater, minus the nostalgia inducing scratches in the film mind you.
More information on a product may be a good thing but the first time a stinking paper clip pops up and suggest I buy something I'm heading for my bomb shelter. The end is nigh.
M$ Office only appears to start that much faster. M$ preloads alot of the shared routines so that when you launch, say, Word it takes less time to get it up and running. As I under stand it the newest versions of OO.org come with a pre loader that essintialy does the same thing M$ has been doing. It really is just smoke and mirrors.
To be fair to people who have actualy opened the bible. The idea of the rapture is not based on revelations but on scripture from Thessalonians and Corinthians .
1 Thessalonians 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
1 Thess 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1 Thess 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1 Thess 4:18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
[caught up=HARPAZO=Rapture]
1 Thess 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
1 Thess 2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
1 Thess 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 Thess 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Cor 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Cor 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Cor 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Cor 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Cor 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
The simple fact is it comes down to the axiom's with which we enter the argument. There are basic facts, which both sides agree on, the problem is they disagree on what the facts mean. Someone who is anti-religious will interpret the facts based on their belief that there is not God and someone who is deeply religious will do the opposite. Both sides are wrong when they allow their beliefs to blind them to the facts. For instance most evolutionist will tell you that the various geological strata where created by layers of soil being deposited over time. Most creationist (ID) will tell you they where deposited by a global flood. The known facts for the most part support both camps (with a couple exceptions, like fossilized whales standing vertically through "THOUSANDS" of years worth of strata). So I am afraid that when there is no conclusive evidence we must just agree to disagree and try to teach both sides as best we can, or stick strictly to the facts and try not to interpret them for those we are teaching.
I agree that they could block traffic based on any number of things, I would suggest like you using the MAC, but this was not what the parent suggested.
The problem is a large portion of those IPs are home users with dynamic addresses which means when if I am the next to get the IP my outgoing ports will be blocked because thelast person ran windows, er, I mean because they could not keep there pc's clean. And I am assuming the last part about internet usage licenses is troll baiting so I don't think I'll respond to that one.
I wish I could. We are contractually obligated to provide the exact system we developed in '99 until the system can not be maintained or hell freezes over. We can't even apply patches unless the problem will cause failure of the system(i.e. y2k was the last time we patched). If you know where I can buy a really big air conditioner or find a more progressive company please!!!!!!! let me know.:)
I did not mean to indicate that 10 would be no good. And I also did not say I have never used any other version of solaris just that my current job is as a solaris 2.6 administrator. The comment was based on the fact that even in the most inept of reviews if sun was mentioned it was the "yard stick" where linux was concerned. Now we have an artical with a compete turn around. My post was simply a comment on TFA and public perception of sun nothing else.
As a long time linux user and a full time solaris 2.6 administrator(Don't you dare laugh) I find it sad that a company like sun releases a product which 'as an alternative to Linux, it doesn't yet deliver.'. I mean the company has the know how to build a great OS the fact that they did not just shows a true down hill slide in thier commitment to inovation. If apple can produce one of the greatest operating systems ever based on BSD then sun should be able to at least be comparable with linux.
I wish it where so, My brother has type I and takes extreamly good care of himself. He exercises daily, follows a doctor provided diet and montiors his BS compulsivly. He is becoming more and more unresponsive to the insulin as he grows older. He has ended up in a coma 3 times in the last 5 years, in the hospital countles more, and consistantly has blood sugar levels in excess of 250. So while treatment is much better then when my grandfather died of type 1 20 years ago it is not anywhere close to a "very treatable and predicatble ailment". All in all I think for him anti rejection durgs may look better then death, blindness, limb loss etc...

Yes, its not like you would ever be purchasing a new copy of M$ Office or anything.
M$ Office only appears to start that much faster. M$ preloads alot of the shared routines so that when you launch, say, Word it takes less time to get it up and running. As I under stand it the newest versions of OO.org come with a pre loader that essintialy does the same thing M$ has been doing. It really is just smoke and mirrors.

I just bought a new Power Mac, that arrived on the 7th. How long does apple offer free upgrades for.
Apple, at least with thier powermac and powerbook(yes a water cooled laptop) line of computers. Apple is to start wattercooling the upper end systems.
So, what your saying is it impresses you that a UNIX based OS is adopting the UNIX ideals on software development.
