Twelve sites pop up today? Heck, in doing just some cursorary searches, I would hazzard a guess twelve,or more, sites go up from one entity in a day. Couple that with the weblog / web advertisement craze going own, the numbers climb and climb...
Now if they actually found sites with working links, that would be amazing, and I would be interested in their search criteria, as mine must be bad...
Doesn't appear on the frontpage when I just now went to google...
I'm guessing it could very well be geo specific... According to the keyhole page, they dont have high res for the whole globe, only major metro areas...
Of course I'm up here in Alaska, and we didn't even make the pull down... Grrr...
Alcohol could also be the reason Rocky III was overlooked by the Academy... I mean, it's got Rocky... What could be better? Oh wait, Apollo is there too... That not enough? Throw in Hulk Hogan (as Thunder Lips no less)! What more do you need?
Ok yer stubborn, hows bout Mr. T in his best cinematic role ever? Screw the academy...
(Found 'alcoholic' on the can, but I don't like that word...)
Why do even our games have to be subject to crime, no matter how virtual?
Ummm, my friend, whom you don't know, told me he normally plays games while relaxing, late at night, sometimes real late... And during this relaxation period he may consume a few beverages which could hamper judgement...
So during this period of late night, beveraged game playing, he may do things that he may otherwise not do... or so he says...
This could also explain my, errr, his Karma...
(Whats really sad is I had to use google to make sure I spelt alcohol right, you'd think they would have that on the can somewhere)
The Christian Science Monitor is also against cameras as it might capture a glimpse of evolution....
Is it just me or do others have a tough time believing any stories coming from a group which debates modern scientific advances with select counter arguements such as 'intelligent design'???
Well I took it as informative... I still have an internal DNS/DHCP pair running an age old debian stable, and they are going on almost 2 years of up time, on hardware our office has surplussed to local schools over a year ago!
Yeah, yeah, I know, the new bind integrates with DHCP better, and tons of other things, but the little scripts I scavenged off of LDP are working great to this day... So much so, I have completely forgotten about those boxes till this story...
Thats the one driving force, even above open source, that I think pulls people to GNU/Linux...
I mean people clammer about window manager themes almost as much as the window managers themselves...
Think of the solitary driving force, it's choice... Even as far to the point where if you don't like a certain aspect of a piece of software you can look at the source and change it...
So, to exclude any piece of software would, at heart, be hypocritical, given the open source method.
If I do recall there is a gentoo live CD out right now.. In fact the gentoo page has a Athlon 64 faq out here: http://dev.gentoo.org/~brad_mssw/amd64-tech-note s. html Now, like all new technologies, there maybe certains apps that don't work, compilations errors, and other problems... But how will they be fixed unless people try it, and send back bug reports?
Hey! This may sound unsubstantial to most, oh dang, need to download a new X server binary each night...
But I just now installed Gentoo... And after that whole bootstrap ordeal, I'm thinking "oh dang, need to download a new X server each night AND compile it!"
That the person installing the computer know what hardware they have?
I understand confusion among MB chipsets and the likes... But when a sysadmin comes up and says "Do I have a southbridge?"
I have helped many people compile a kernel, and they always say "Well how am I supposed to know that?"
For a homeuser, sure, I understand... But even then, couldn't manufacturers include a cut sheet?
But sysadmins, come on... If you don't know the hardware in the machine, maybe it's best you don't work on it, and find someone in the office who does....
While predicition of seismic and volcanic events is still, well, progressing... Detection and tracking of such an event is very much doable...
A tsunami resulting from a seismic event can be devistating, however the landing times can be predicted... The WestCoast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center (US specific, though I'm sure there are others..) has a page (http://wcatwc.arh.noaa.gov), that include papers, faqs, and also nice charts showing if an eartquake hit how long would it take the wave to hit (http://wcatwc.arh.noaa.gov/ttt/ttt.htm)
Volcanic eruptions also are interesting in that they tend to throw up ash detectable via satellites... On the NOAA polar orbitals, channel 4 (10.3-11.3 microns) minus channel 5 (11.5-12.5 microns) shows most plumes... A good website for more information is NESDIS's volcano page (http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/VAAC/)
I can understand some people saying Debian, in it's current state is difficult to install.
But I cringe when I hear that from a fellow computer person. I mean honestly, just because it's not using framebuffer and a mouse on install?
True, deslect/apt can be intimidating, but much easier the trying to manually find rpms down the road...
Do you spend more time supporting systems or installing systems??? Me, it's supporting them, so I love apt...
And if I hear one more RH person say "Well, just select 'everything' on install, then Up2date doesn't have dependicy problems" I'm gonna kick them in the kneecap...
Government agencies can not compete with public companies. Period. If a private company provides the service, the government can not.
I work for the weather service and anytime we make anything new available for the public, we have to go through this whole process to make sure it shouldn't be provided by private business.
Sure, makes me upset, makes everyone upset... But you have to admit, get some lawyers, some lobbyists, and just take the data that the government service does provide, and then sell it to the public and businesses... Mkae sure the government can't augment or improve what gets sent.. Classic business model...

I completely agree... Google provides ads, but not obtrusive, like other sites. This just falls in the same line.
I don't have the link when I hit the main page, but even so, it's a link. You don't want the service, don't click on it...
It's not a popup, it's not tricking people to click on it... and if it helps google continue providing the service they provide, I'm for it...
Doesn't appear on the frontpage when I just now went to google...

I wish there was some more references to the fragile legality many of SCO's claims are riding on.
Getting C-Net exposure is great, and the article paints an obvious picture of the Microsoft contirbution to the SCO effort...
But I just wamted the article to mention that all of SCOs claims are false, or at least unfounded...
And one quick follow up, slightly offtopic...

Well I'm sure on some nights my urine had some liver cells in it...
Is it bad when your urine the next morning is darker then the beer you were drinking??

Good systems never get noticed...
And there are probably many, MANY other contributions he has given which I have overlooked..
So please, do give some consideration toward what he has done for all of the Linux community...

Just my two cents as a staunch Gnome user...

But I seem to have plenty of free wireless points around here... Just drive around, your bound to find one... :)
At least for my porn collection!
So what do people do with a sundial, when the sun won't come up for another month?

'Unlike the Grand Theft Auto series, which... had an element of humor in its depiction of police chases, Manhunt has none of that whatsoever.'
So as long as the hero pokes fun, or laughs when someone dies, it's bad???
If only they added "Bad piggy, DIE!" then all would be well...
So does this mean I can expect a reduction of AOL cds in my mail?
Of course what would really help is if they got off TCL/TK for half their apps...
