FIRST incorporates computer animation too (I led the team that won a regional animation award two years ago) but it's definitely a side event that really has nothing to do with the rest of the competition. There's also a lot of PR involved that actually does affect the competition (hoping that some really good team will pick you to be their partner in the finals). Still, the more fields they can incorporate, the more people can become a part of FIRST.:-)
The next version of OS X (Tiger, for those of you living in a cave/on Windows) will offer the same sort of searching, and it will be fairly simple to integrate into OSS apps, assuming the developers of the apps have any interest in it.
Given that fundamentally it's an open easily-parsed format, and wget is your friend, it ought to be relatively easy to write a harvester, if anyone could be bothered.
They don't need to stop everybody. Just the stupid ones. That'll stop about 90% of it.
It's hard to get *more* market share in a market where you already have 100% (or so-close-it-doesn't-matter) (that would be handhelds, not the game indstry as a whole). All the DS is for is to keep the market share they already have.
I disagree about Steve just filling a role. When Steve left Apple, Apple started to suffer. It wasn't until Steve returned in '97 that the 'new Apple' really started to kick ass.
Ok, let's turn the 17-inch iMac into a laptop. First, the thing weighs 18.5 pounds, compared to the already weighty Powerbook G4 at 6.9 pounds. Second, the iMac's weight is entirely in the screen - assuming you'd want to put it on your lap, it would fall over backwards. Third, it would be hideously un-portable as the computer is bigger even than the 17" screen (note the chunk at the bottom). Throw in a battery of some sort and you've got either a 30-minute laptop or a 3-inch, 25 pound machine.
Yes, that's a 'no'. I want a G5 laptop too, but turning an iMac into one is far from a good idea.
I would propose a third possiblity: C) He did not predict the impact his actions would have.
Consider how many viruses are written that never amount to anything - a few dozen infections, you get on the antivirus list, and no one cares about your virus anymore. (Have you seen the length of those virus definition lists?) Consider that, in all likelihood, the kid associated with people who had written lots of viruses like that - probably even authored some himself. What do you think he would perceive the odds of making a virus this impactful to be? About the same odds that setting off a firecracker would burn down a city block: yes, they should be charged with arson, but don't assume that they meant to set it all on fire. They were just bored and wanted to see a few sparks.

Glad someone caught the reference :)
LOSERS.
LOOSERS is not a word. You sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong.
lose = opposite of win or find
loose = opposite of tight
Go 1038!

Longhorn was going to have this?

They may not have control over it, but they still own it.

Chris Rock (I think it was Chris Rock, at least) was right - bullets should cost five thousand [million] dollars!
I think the entire purpose of the X-Prize is that it does NOT get government funding. commercial entities need to be self-sufficient here.

Why wait? Version 1.0 of Griffin's (utterly worthless) iBeam already HAS a frickin laser!

Hell, *I* didn't read the article and I knew that. It was in the summary...
Interesting... can't say I've ever heard that phrase before.

I think you picked the wrong word there. "Embarrassment"? It sounds like you're saying that lots of browsers is a bad thing.
God vs. Bush
Well, that's beside the point anyway. To me the 17" PB feels a lot heavier than it looks, hence, i consider it weighty. *shrug*
That is, a "simple ". I'm dumb like that.
Why bother with a link? a simple will cause OE to render it the instant it's in the preview pane. Whoops.

I thought it was "gang aft agley"?
Does using https cost the server more bandwidth?
Sending files, voice chatting, etc are a major pain thanks to NAT. I can barely get them working with significant thought.
