I just downloaded this distro and flashed my Zaurus. Great to have ssh out of the box. I love the boot logo and the background png. Managed to sync it on the first try too! I'll be testing the wireless stuff once I get home.
I'm sorry, I do not get the point: If I start a streaming broadcast station, and then you do, why on earth do I need to stop you?
Of course I will hunt down and shoot like a dawg anyone who breaks into my server and uses my bandwidth for their streaming station.:-)
Maybe I'm not getting the point, but if you have your own server with your own connection to the internet, why should I be concerned if you are running one streaming station (or twenty for that matter)?
If the internet is being considered as a commons, that is just plain wrong. Last I heard, bandwidth is not free, so I'm not sure how it can be considered a commons.
There is no tragedy of the commons. This is a common (pun unintended) fallacy.
Assuming that the commons can support N grazing animals, and there are P farmers, and you want to set N/P +1 grazing animals out on the commons, do you think the other N-1 farmers will let you?
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. When winter comes, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
CBS, NBC and ABC show up and provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to film of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can it be that, in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so? Then a representative of the NAAGB (The National Association for the Advancement of Green Bugs) shows up on Nightline and charges the ant with "Green Bias" and makes the case that the grasshopper is the victim of 30 million years of greenism.
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when he sings It's Not Easy Being Green. Bill and Hillary Clinton make a special guest appearance on the CBS Evening News and tell a concerned Dan Rather that they will do everything they can for the grasshopper who has been denied the prosperity he deserves by those who benefited unfairly during the greedy Clintonian summers, or as Greenspan refers to it, the "Irrational Exhuberance of the 00's."
Richard Gephardt exclaims in an interview with Peter Jennings that the Ant has gotten rich off the "back of the grasshopper", and calls for an immediate tax hike on the Ant to make him pay his "fair share."
Finally the World Trade Organization drafts the "Economic Equity and Anti-Greenism Act," retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government. Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bush appointed from a list of single-parent welfare moms who can only hear cases on Thursday afternoon between 1:30 and 3:00 PM when there are no talk shows scheduled.
The ant loses the case.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he's in -which just happens to be the ant's old house - crumbles around him since he doesn't know how to maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow.
And on the TV, which the grasshopper bought by selling most of the ant's food, they are showing Al Gore standing before a wildly applauding group of Democrats announcing that a new era of "Fairness" has dawned in America.
The problem is, as you can see if you follow the links above, most people are still under the mistaken assumption that you need land to grow food. That assumption is just so twentieth century.
Think about it for a minute - there have been doomsdayers predicting famine for a long time. Isn't it funny how the carrying capacity of the planet keeps increasing along with the population?
Humans grown then killed (as in life processes stopped) for the "betterment of mankind"?
That statement is so loaded that I have to respond.
Are you aware that each IVF procedure produces multiple embryos? Some of which are not viable for a pregnancy? Of the ones viable for pregnancy (typically 8-10), around 3-4 are implanted into the uterus and the rest frozen. Later the parents can decide if they want another pregnancy to use the frozen embryos (which are typically available for 5 years).
In 5 years, the parents have the option of releasing the embryos to other couples (sort of like an embryo adoption).
Now what happens to the embryos that are not viable and to the frozen embryos that nobody wants to adopt? You got it. They become biological waste.
Wouldn't it be better to use these embryos to help people instead of trashing them?
And how would using these embryos (which would end up in the trash can anyway) be killing people?
I'd actually wanted Ford Prefect and had to settle for Arthur Dent when I found that it was taken.
And as for those center lane hogs, I'm dreaming about fitting the front and rear bumpers of my car with a hydraulic ram. And then drive up so that you are level with the center lane hog, push a button, and voila, out comes the ram and pushes the offending car over to the right.
Probably illegal as hell everywhere in the world, but hey, I can dream, can't I?
Eclipse is a great IDE. We have been using it in a large development project for close to a year now.
Eclipse has very good integration with CVS, has one of the best diff tools I have seen in an IDE, supports code hot plug in the debugger (you can change code while stopped at a breakpoint in the debugger, and when you save your changes, Eclipse will compile and use the newly written code) with JDK 1.4, has TomCat integration and a thriving community of plugin developers.
The only problem is, the MAC port is a work in progress, and is slated for release real soon now. Take a look at it here.
Interesting idea, but it may not really work. In my case, while driving, I find myself watching the speed of the car in front of me and not the brake lights. That could be because I tend to slow down by taking my foot off the accelerator and hitting the brakes only if I need to come to a full stop. Really annoys those impatient gits who see me slow down half a block away from the red lights:).
I watched B&B being interviewed once. Braga quite unashamedly mentioned that when he started writing for ST:TNG, he had not seen a single episode of TOS and that he didn't care if the fans were upset about it.
As of August 2002, the PSS Security Team has not been able to determine the technique that is being used to gain access to the computer.
Of course they are not able to determine the technique used to break in. First Microsoft complains about bug reporters telling people about problems, HP threatens to sue, and now they're complaining that no one is telling them? Why should they?
Depends on how much data you want to carry around.
The Zaurus has a CF slot *and* an SD slot.
Stick in a 1Gig micro drive and one of the newer 512M SD cards and you can have 1.5Gig of data to cart around.
I am running mine with a 64M MMC card (partitioned with a 32M swap) and a 256M CF card. Haven't run out of room yet.
The term to cover this kind of legislation is "supercriminalisation". Such laws are redundant before they are even passed. Typically done to make politicans appear to be "doing something", especially if there is a lobby group needing to be appeased.
You could also look at it as a way of politicans avoiding doing their jobs whilst appearing to do so.
In addition to that, another reason is that prosecutors can then tack on all possible charges. Thus for a 'murder' done via hacking into the traffic light system (as an example), the prosecutor can add to the list: manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, murder, murder via malicious computer hacking...
Thus, the perp will be looking at 2 (plus) life sentences if found guilty, thus making the perp more amenable to a plea bargain (even in cases where there is no conclusive evidence of guilt).
Uh, Thieves? How so? You mean they don't pay their cable bills every month? What's that you say? They do? Then how are they thieves? Isn't that like saying : Anyone who redistributes water supplied by the public water department by letting strangers have a drink is a Thief. Which means that owners of buildings and malls that have public water fountains are Thieves!
The bandwidth has been paid for, so the cable company has no right to decide how it is being used. If what you meant to say was that the price of that bandwidth did not reflect the cost to the cable company -- too bad, they should learn to price it properly.
That said, I agree with your fourth option. Any possibility of getting your legal representatives interested?
Simple mathematics tell me that if the average family has more than two children the world population will increact. China realised this and came up with their one-child politics to prevent overpopulation.

Maybe you could use that to project stuff onto a blank keyboard?
Just a thought, since I don't know how or if it will work.
To paraphrase and mutilate:
I just want to say one word to you - just one word : Software!
Check out a picture and the marketing stuff.
Should be real easy to project any kind of key using this technology.
For instance, if you are interested in writing an EXT2 (or other) driver for Windows 2000, it will cost you $1000 for the DDK.
Now to install all the other goodies...
Great job folks!
Save your wallet and use DVD Genie instead.
Maybe you need a different PC?
Uh, Loose outlook's calendaring feature?
Do you mean you don't have to use force to rip it out?
<g>

Nice try, but no cigar.

Full disclosure is a good thing!
Was there a judgement in the case that the whole world is ignoring?
Get it straight. It is a Proposed Settlement. It has not been approved by the judge. There are no requirements.
Looks like Microsoft is suceeding in spinning the antitrust case the way it wants....

Quite right. And look at what that policy has achieved.
.You're right, the land for agriculture will not increase exponentially, but the water will.
