Shouldn't government created code be under a "free-er" liscense such as the BSD? I'm not trying to troll or flame or whatever. but isn't a part of free speech the right NOT to say anything? I'm just wondering if the value added by the NSA (or any other government org) is properly released under the GPL. I guess i should go skim through old posts as this ground is probly well trod.
That the human genome tells a human how to make another (usually differnent) human. Your huge store of additionally information is the human egg. Pretty much every biologist and geneticist under the sun and a few subterranean ones agree, the genome only tells a cell of that species how to make another of that species. Thus you get projects like the mammoth cloning, where your going to take generations and generations to 'massage' the elephant cell into something like a mammoth cell. Geesh, even that crappy movie Jurassic Park got it partially right. You use a cell base that differs from the gene base and you get some zany hybrid. Part dino, part frog in the movies case. (Of course this leaves out mitochondria, but everyone forgets the mitos, cept Parasite Eve. MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!)
You know, it's at times like this I wish I had some moderator points. Informative posts like this will go unnoticed, and from a general view of moderation so far, it appears a group is running roughshod over this particular forum topic. Many, many posts are being marked as troll and flaimbait that are not. Corellationally the posts are also the "liberal" views or pro-Aldridge. Just putting two cents in for an excellant link.
just to partially rebut Adam Hinkley being compos mentis, the devastating personal event was his sister being kidnapped and then killed.
Quote from Salon: "His younger sister had been kidnapped and murdered just a few months before he signed the shareholder agreements. Hinks was, his lawyers have alleged in court, put into a situation that was almost abusive: They describe him as a young boy, far from home, forced to put in grueling hours and pressured into signing a shareholder agreement that he didn't understand. They have also argued that an oral agreement gave Adam Hinkley independent ownership of the AppWarrior code." http://www.salon.com/21st/feature/1999/02/25featur e2.html
It's pretty hard to find any of the other stories dealing with this time period in more depth. But I remember other stories talking about semi-questionable tactics by Hotline to get what they wanted.
Nuth'n like playing a cycle poker series and then using your fuel tank as a fondu pot at the end. Fry up some of those splat deer pieces you see just lying all over the place.
Do you honestly believe this or are you just spouting some rhetoric from the soap box? Simple disproofs of your statment are:
If you are ruled to be in the gullible simpletons segment, you couldn't espouse that view and thus also couldn't vote on the passage of such legislation.
Or, correctness and wrongness are also a function of time. Me saying your a big fat doo-doo head is only correct during a certain period of time. Assuming you wash your hair and loose weight, this would invalidate my previous correct statement. Since statements cannot be unsaid, ruling that wrong statements cannot be said is logically incorrect since a vast usefully majority of correct statements are eventually or previously wrong.
If you were going merely going for the rhetoric angle, how bout I use the human body metaphor: I num your right arm (cuz it's wrong) and you opperate a metal press for 8 hours. (Which really sucks). Lets see how long you believe having any part of a whole not speak to its fullest then.
But in this case the Bt bacterium gene put into the potato makes a toxin that effects corn borers. Toxins are not limited in scope to effecting humans. And toxicity is also a function of density as 100 percent oxygen at 2 atmospheres is toxic. To relate this to the potato, the potato would not have any genetic govenors to avoid overproduction of the Bt toxin, possibly pushing it into a concentration that is toxic. Salmanila anyone?
How ironic it is that these judges set a precedent for protesting this particular judgement. If you feel that the judges erred in overturning the verdict, set up a web site with their personal info and a little dancing hamster that goes ballistic singing when one of them passes away. Just my two bits.
Do you actually read your posts for logical phallacy or not? First you start of with an AlvinMaker/GrassBasketa mistake. You can build stable systems, but Apple (or any manufaturer) can out build you. Why don't you try and establish that you can build a MORE stable system. A much more worthy goal. Second, having total control of parts can't == run any OS you want. (emulation aside) once you chose the processor/mobo, you are limited in the OSes. Choose x86, you are limited to x86 OSes.
Third, the listing of OSes per MotherBoard is flawed since you must show that you can't buy Apple PPC motherboards (you can $$$) and then run the intended OS of choice (MacOS) or Linux (LinuxPPC, MKLinux) or NT (NT3.5) or BSD (MacOS X, NetBSD) or... (that's called an elipse by the way)
Fourth you switch hats, from holding a Ph.D. in MIS to holding a Ph.D. in Business and Economics, wave a magic wand, and declare that a complete shift in Apples business paradigm would not effect profits one wit. (Har,har)
As you are not a victim of vendor lock, I assume you do not take prescription drugs, frequent amazon.com, drive an automobile, fly on a plane, work in most branches of the military, or eat preprocessed foods. Well Dorthy, click your heals together three times, because micromonoplies are neither a bad witch, or a good witch, in fact thier not a witch at all.
You see, Sony used the CPU from the PSX to manage the PS2, allowing it to play PSX games also. So of course Sony will use the PS2 CPUs (i hate pluralizing intialations), probly in an all on one chip setup, to manage the PS3. That leaves them with no backwards compatibility with the PSX. So in comes Connectix with its PSX emulator to go in the system ROMs. You get the cutting edge game system playing Crash Bandacoot 1 through 5 or 6. Everyones happy and Sony just keeps building that game base.
of course, before the advent of computers, travel was all but impossible. Just look at Columbus's voyage to the New World. If Spain hadn't heavily invested in GPS software and IT infrastructure, how would they know where they were going. (Of course, had they solved the traveling salesman problem first, they could have gone to the East in only x ln x moves.)
Actually that is incorrect. The car insurance is being determined by: do you have a penis or a vagina? Having a penis does not mean you are XY, you can be XXY, or even XX. The same for a vagina, XY or XXY, OR XXX. Most recent example i can site is in a recent Discover magazine article, 'Vital Signs', of a female with XY genes. And not an isolated thing, as it was a hereditary problem. (and if you're scratching your head trying to think how, http://www.discover.com/dec_00/featvital.htm )
This also implies you need a "Master" on the system, one of those machines will be in control and all the others slaves. Not necc. bad, but can be a pain since you wont be able to VCR-to-VCR, or whatever dominates. There is no reserving of bandwidth with USB, so expect burps. Since USB hubs are repeaters you send the signal everywhere. With Firewire, you don't need hubs as the signal is bandwidth reserved and automatically routed, not propagating along any paths that are uneccasary. Another nice thing about Firewire is all devices are peers, you DVD can talk to the Console, while the VCR talks to the Stereo, and no one device is needed to mediate it.
I would be very careful with using only one source for your popular media. (I'm assuming current events is what you mean) You run a very high risk of unintentionally missing out on a lot of information. Such as: GWBjr. yanking federal aide if a program counsels about abortion abroad, an oil tanker spilling half its fuel in the Galapogos Islands, and the India quake. I'm not saying stay plugged into Fahrenheit 451 TV-parlour, just read a newspaper twice a month, a variety mag(Discover/NewsWeek/etc) once a month. The evening news once a week.
Just try to stay away from limitation, especially when it's marketed as specialization.
4.5 billion years to form the Earth as we know it, and your quibling over 30 years? Or 3 million years for us to go from rock axes to rocket ships. A little perspective please.
Not only would a careful journalist make that distinction, but a careful professor of philosophy teaching the philosophy of technology would also point out the context. That being: Moore was listing a requirement of Intel staying on top of the processor heap. Fall under the 18-24 month doubling, and someone will most likely beat intel in the market. Which greatly alters Moore's Law's meaning; not a pace of technology, but a metric for corporate health.
that disney has gone from a feature every 8 years to a feature a year, rush, rush, rush. Outsourcing a lot of the filler cells. Also exhausting Grimm's and others tales where a hero/heroine doesn't die. Though that really didn't stop Hunchback.
Whynot: no hub or switch, use (x^2)-x NICs?

As long as your going for a small cluter; i.e., the cluster size less than or equal too a single board's number of pci slots plus one; why don't you go with all NICs and crossover cables. Can't get faster than that. Even if you outgrow the PCI+1 limit, there's a calulator (lost url, search for cluster topology calculator) that will give you the most bandwidth with max NICs, min switches. It's not too unreasonable a price increase. (especially if your using 100bT, or Gig)

I believe that is:
Since USA beats Germany in WWII, USA Better
Since VietKong held its own and then some in Vietnam, They are then better by the same logic.
And then that "master race" bit is a extention of Ubermen meme from WWII.
Just a quick FYI: Arbitrary and Validity are mutually exclusive.

Uh... feeding the troll, sorry.
From a Rhetoric perspective, which is better?
A) constitutionally based representative democracry with socialist education system and fascist military, etc.?
or
B) USA-Democracy (which implies all that)?
