As long as the scientist says that those tiny little things that repicate exponentially are UNLIKELY to ever enter widespread use then they get my vote.
What about if a little bit gets stuck on someone's sweater?
This will make our incredibly safe roads even safer by ooohh possibly fraction of a percent. I presume it will only ever be used to tag speeding motorists who don't stop for police, and for some sort of tolling systems.
How much of the kinetic energy produced by vehicles daily actually gets transferred into damaging human bodies anyway? I'm betting it is a miniscule amount.
I regularly speed like everyone else.
am fed up with Linux bloatware, I'm going back to the command line. ASCII art rendering of jpegs is all I need, hell you can print a load out and staple them together and have a flick book movie.
-Or is it all that Ephemerides software that comes as standard?
I'm afraid I have to piss on your chips there, I'm more of a phallus rampant than a purse of plenty. Have you never used 'moist' in a metaphorical way?
The question is, when will METERED broadband access be in place? Probably when no-one uses dial up any more, although with reference to the last article, we (UK) may be paying for phonecalls by the MB by then anyway.
I personally enjoy spending incalcuable amounts of money for telephony. I have a 200+ special, but only on the same network, 25p peak unless I call my grandmother after texting twice in which case it's 17p per minute, unless I'm in the lounge when there's a leisure discount. Coupled with a supersaver from Virgin, Wannabeatelco, provided that I prefix 17 digits to the number then I can get additional discounts.
Do you remember walking to the red phonebox and waiting, striking up a conversation with others in the queue, 5p pieces in hand?
Simple and tangible is good
You remember surely....
and I would like to see the telegram - only in designated sub post offices on a Wednesday afternoon.
Does VOIP mean I'll have to convey my lusty conversations via Deepak in Delhi with that lovely poor quality distortion that I'm at a loss to describe.
"Dear, he is saying that he is - weooooeeoosd - with you"
Is a continual process of creation and destruction driven by desire.
The mercantile class is entirely dependent on the talent of those willing to engage in production/provision and the desire of buyers.
There will either be a centralised highly regulated brontosaurus corporate dominance which disallows the endeavours of the small and protects long amassed interests, or there will be a distributed culture of provider/producer to customer.
When you take my Universal Turing Machine, I will listen to the birds and watch trees grow instead.
The law is doomed, because sophisticated society is unable to be covered by a single logical self consistent system.
it's also down to the aesthetics - Mac OS X is a Zen like experience compared to Windows, I also have a.mac account which hardly ever delivers spam (it did eat my email once, so not all good and I resent the cover up that Apple made) and when I surf the net I don't get hijacked with adware or popups which are bloody impossible to remove. Overall the apps that come as standard with OS X are very high quality and functional. I do use some X11 and commandline stuff too and it just works fine.
No intrusion, quiet productive computing.
I now have the money to buy a specific brand of hardware for which there is a great OS, and just find I'm more productive. The bundled development tools are practically worth the additional layout alone. I have not programmed before using Apple kit because I've found it too difficult, whereas I'm developing software for OS X quite easily.
I use Microsoft PCs at work, I'm a doctor in the UK, and we have to hire someone to make sure all the antivirus stuff is in place, and it is very difficult to integrate any new software with the (admittedly) poorly written software chosen by the government for us to use.
Linux I don't use much for the reason that as with the Microsoft stuff I have difficulties with any hardware that is esoteric, although it is seemingly improving quite quickly.

And isn't it about time for an entirely new operating system kernel. Nothing big now.
because al-Husseyn looks a bit like Hussein that he was arrested? "Arrest all the those foreign guys beginning with 'H' !" "Yes, sir! Right on it!"

I think perhaps if you bomb it a bit, it comes apart.

I didn't connect to the internet wirelessly or wirely, and I had a good productive day.

Yes old chum. Try taking The Times for a few weeks, you'll soon understand what the Empire is about.
