I'm running DSL on 2 IBM365 Thinkpads, one with 24MB of ram and the other with 32. It runs frighteningly well, much better than 95, which is what was on them before. Now I just need to find 2 linux suppored 802.11b or 802.3 cards and I've got two useful machines.
The universe exists even without us perceving it. Blind men don't remove the existence of colors, deaf men don't remove the existence of music, ignorance does not remove the existence of fact.
Virtualization is more of a workaround than a solution. I think what every user wants to see are Universal APIs that are open and standardized across all platforms (*NIX/Windows/Mac) so that machines running the same CPU could use any program in any operating system.
Why switch to an entirely different OS when you could just launch a program without having to worry if its a OSX binary or a Windows binary. But that would mean everyone has to agree on a standard, and we know how well businesses are at agreeing.
I think the whole point of it is perceived value. They want to show that the new DVD is really worth $22.99 (almost the price of a brand new DVD *player*) because they worked hard to put extra stuff in it.
That's why the first thing I do with disks is to rip them as DivX files and put them on a DVD+R. No commercials, no ads. In fact, most TV series I get on DVD will fit onto 1 DVD+R DL disk.
Obviously he wasn't being serious.
None of us (except the stupid ones) believe the government keeps our overpaid tax dollars in a nice little box somewhere.
The thing is, these groups pusing.xxx don't care that you can already filter out stuff like that, they want to filter it for you, even if its against your will.
Comity is a term used in international law (and in the law governing relations between U.S. states) to describe an informal principle that nations will extend certain courtesies to other nations, particularly by recognizing the validity and effect of their executive, legislative, and judicial acts. This principle is most frequently invoked by courts, which will not act in a way that demeans the jurisdiction, laws or judicial decisions of another country.
Pardon me for not meeting your exacting standards. Not everyone here cares for that much detail. Mention SONET in a sentence and a good deal of people will think you spelled sonnet wrong.

If by open you mean, "Dammit! They found out how to reverse engineer the BIOS," then no, they're not similiar.
To clarify: naked female teenagers.
If its in software and you need to reverse engineer it to prevent them from getting in, they can just say "DMCA" and its illegal to stop them.
Easy-peasy.
"Simple solution: Don't use Microsoft software."
How short sighted and ignorant of you. What if you need Windows to run software and do your job like, oh, I don't know, Citrix?
Can't we all just agree that politicians suck?

Some of us like talking to machines more than people. :)
What a bunch of wishy-washy bullshit.

I prefer the 3E's myself:
Embrace
Extend
Extinguish

Well, they didn't let us use graphing calculators in Algebra or on some tests in trigonometry.
That's not what scares me. What would scare me is someone suing after being injured by a parked car.
I couldn't possibly agree with you more.

Alan Shore agrees with you, and so do I.
I filed anyway, because I was due a refund. I guess that's my way of sticking it to the man.

Two words: reliability, speed. I'd pay half DVD price if I could get a DVD at 500KB/sec that was reliably up...and properly labeled.
The way I understand it is that light does not experience time. So if you were in light's frame, you wouldn't experience anything.
But why do the people in grenich have to be mean?
Just check the statutory laws where you are, you don't want one that's 403.
That is awesome. That's the most obfuscated description I've ever read.
Unfortunately, I'm not going to tell you what it describes, that should be an exercise for the reader.
Once again, the average ISPs aren't common carrieries. Maybe ATT/SBC can qualify, since they own the lines. ISPs are "Information Services."
"Oh, you know what I meant!"
And I do know what they meant, they were saying in their own subtle way that they're ignorant.*No typos, no typos, no wammy, no wammy, STOP!*
I'm glad that the judge was paying attention. On average I have more respect for judges than elected officials (mind you, not 100% of the time).
And I learned a new word, comity: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comity
