You clicked the button, you saw the shot, the deer appeared to fall, but did anything really happen. Does it even matter if it did? You can't use the kill for anything, there's no touch, no true surge of adrenaline from satisfying some primal urge.
I've been waiting for this (specifically a gun controlled from the net) because it won't be long before anything else that can be conveyed via telepresence will fall into place. This is going to lead to a huge bevy of essays on reality and the human experience, kick ass.
fyi, it turned my stomach to implement such a system and we have abandoned drm completely since then.
But not too much, right? I mean, you did do it.
Look people sometimes you have to stand up for what you believe in, no matter how trivial it might seem to others or how hard it might be. I've walked away from a job before so I know first hand the hardships it can create but when you do look back on your past instead of regret over an action, you feel pride in yourself. Stop rolling over.
That card with the i860 was the NeXTDimension video card. For the day it was quite impressive as it could hold 64Meg of memory, do SVideo in/out and some encoding directly on the card.
The development environment was awful, contrasted to the robust tools available on NeXTSTEP at the time.
NeXT had real mult-user capability. BeOS was only brought in as a bargaining chip and to entice Jobs to come onboard. BeOS at the time was really impressive on a Mac, especially if you couldn't stomach MacOS... but I ran BeOS @work and NeXTSTEP @home, the choice was readily apparent to people who actually used both systems.
They seem to exist for people who can't communicate or oganize ideas. Maybe that's all there is to it, simply that, most people can't keep track of things unless forced into a system.
In the same way I am proud of Stewart for going after the Crossfire idiots. No one has a moral responsibility to do good in the world. Life really is about survival of yourself and those you love and care for. However it is nice to see people who, when given a large mindshare of public trust, do something good with it.
I know some people in the past year have bagged on Child's Play because they didn't see it being altruistic enough or as self serving, but c'mon that they choose to do anything at all is great! By something as simple as coordinating the desires of gamers to occasionally do something nice for someone else a lot of kids are going to have much better holidays and the whole group of gamers end up looking better in the eyes of the public who are constantly flooded with negative images about gamers (OMG DOOM MADE ME KILL MY BROTHER WITH A CHAINSAW AND GRAB RANDOM GIRL TITTIES!@!!!!!!!!).
They liked to live on the edge of annoying the establishment... they were the ones that broke the story of the statue of saddam hussen falling being a put-up job for the assembled press (there were only about half a dozen people there, there rest were reporters/press). A conspiracy theory is not a story... there were plenty of other photo angles from that same day that showed a vastly different "story" than IndyMedia posited.
I've dealt firsthand with many of the hacks and idiots involved in Indymedia. They grab on to the coat-tails of any media event or protest they can and then act as extreme as possible to garner press even if it harms the original vision of the event or protest. They are revolting, dishonest and a sad excuse for a "media".
And what praytell will be responsible for your complex dialplans (routing) or giving access to client SIP phones? PBX's aren't going anywhere but *of course* they have to evolve, it is amazing they have remained sedantary for so long.
If you wonder where the PBX is heading look at the simple office copying machine. They used to make copies. Now they make copies, colate, autoscale, create PDFs on the fly and then fax the results to someone while storing the PDF somewhere AND emailing a copy to a lit of people. The PBX of next year will integrate even more so than the one's of today in a cheaper, faster way.
The PBX isn't going extinct but many of the specialized lockin systems and consultants may.
Walmart IT pays less than industry average wages with lower chances of salary advancement and absolutely tepid compensation packages for most long term employees.
That said, it is a boring stable environment that you probably couldn't ever get fired from; guess that appeals to some.

Unfortunately the cam isn't in a very good location. I've been watching it on my desk at work for days and more often than not, your view is covered by clouds.
When it does clear up (15% of the time) you do have an awesome view of the peak, surrounding clouds and clear blue skies.
...is quite nice and easy to get going with a cheap $40 FXO card. With that and a decently powered machine you can easily replace your home answering service or machine with something a bit more complex. As great as Asterisk is though it definitely is a 1.0 product, hopefully now that the functionality has stabilized somewhat, more work will be put into rearing the myriad of control files into something more managable and some work will be put into better troubleshooting tools. Odd or weird problems can be a real PITA to diagnose on your Asterisk setup.
My dialplan (which works all but the analog portion 100% of the time) is that a call comes in -> rings the analog line a few times -> asterisk then picks up and gives the user a menu, from there one can pick my sip client or my girlfriend's or a global that rings the analog line and the sip clients at the same time. In case of no answer voicemail then picks up and fires off an email to us containing the message. Eventually I hope to have it sharing functionality with some friends in different states so we can all have free local dial-ins for family and friends who are scattered.
... how does a single app bring down the entire OS? You mean the app can't be restarted and brought back up with the same state at a moments notice in a mere minute or two?
They started down this path the second the whole @stake thing came about. In reality while they would like to think they were different than klaus and ISS they were actually the same.

Stupid text added here to get past the slashdot's retarded spam filter filter. Wouldn't the creators of this code have assumed that/. would see a higher percentage of certain characters that are related to numbers display or programming?
This actually happens quite a lot and is one of the reasons large companies farm off risky things to spinoffs. Typically they wait for the spinoff to flounder AFTER it has sucked in huge amount of external capital and then at the last moment buy everything back for pennies on the dollar.
A good portion of certain companies DSL setups was done this way.

Apple's Computer's contract with Apple Records is about physical music/media distribution. Apple has been very clever about this and made sure to never sell you anything that is music in a physical form.

A nuclear test is not the most simple answer in this situation so instead of applying the "razor" you are believing what you want to believe.
No extreme seismic activity was detected which a blast would have created AND would have been detected by either SK or Japan.
There are no pictures of the blast.
We have no idea if they cloud was indeed mushroom shaped, or "sort of mushroom shaped".
We don't know the accuracy of the reporter.
This event happened on a national holiday in NK.
Perhaps it was a large blast (but not large) to prove the military might to the citizens of NK... or maybe it was a fire of some sort in a chemical plant.
Unlike some who link ADD to thriving on pressure that isn't the case for me. But situations that tend to be high stress for most, tend to calm me down.
Main database server has crashed and the CEO is on the line? No problem. Someone cut the fiber to this block? Eh. We gotta move from one colo to the next in 17 hours! Ok. Driving 130 MPH down long loney highways? Blah. Tornado heading this way? Another Earthquake?!@ Whatever, let's get prepared.
However while these kinds of things don't get to me I've found that emotional issues can stress me out quite quickly. Issues with my girlfriend, friends or family tend to make me all loopy and panicky, much the same way other's get with the scenarios above. I wonder if this is true for other people who strive on situational stress?
Seriously people stop supporting this nonsense. Even if you don't plan on buying all these hacks, this constant deluge of information about changes, edits and new editions of this crap is still supporting this garbage by keeping up the visible mindshare capital of this franchise.
I don't believe any of these pictures are classics or sacred treasures but these films are not like Director's Cuts where the original vision was changed to get the movie to market, no matter what Georgie says. He is 'Robin Williamsing' these things because of his change in character after become a parent. That is, some famous actors, directors, etc... at some point feel everything they've done should some how be compatible with things their kids could watch.

Wake on Lan isn't in the US version and Nintendo has no current plans to add it to future US units.
Hopefully this can be rectified with a firmware patch included in some popular games in the future.

You are a pathetic excuse for a human.
Hopefully your death will come quickly.
I'm not sure where you friend lives but in most states in the Union you are registered for jury duty when you obtain a driver's license.
Personally I am advocating something that could be construed as treason.

That's okay I don't get them either.
