The millitary released this statement: "In simple terms and sans any military jargon, the unit could best be described as the world's most formidable hacker posse. Ever."
This, however, is merely a translation, "sans any millitary jargon" of what the Hacker unit leader actually said. the actual statement is given here, extant:
We call Ourselves Clan [JFCCNW]. Our unit is full of teh 1337 h4xx0rz. They will r0x0r terrorist computer network b0x0rz....
w00t. OMG we are teh 1337. We PWN all j00 who mess with teh |_|.5. We are the 1337est H4xx0rz. Evar.
What I understand of it he may be right. As labor continues to move overseas due to cheap cost of operation there, we will need to fill gaps of employment. Economist have been theorizing for awhile now that America will become an almost completely service based economy. There are some who believe that we will be able to support ourselves on an economy of services. I do not know all the details of how that works, but the article seems to be pointing in that sort of direction. at least for IBM.
Sure I mean I think we will always farm and always need some production to trade against but otherwise, couldn't we even traffic in some services?

Anything that is bi-pedal is not eneregy efficient. It is more difficult to conserve momentum with it. Without incredible specialization it would also be extremely difficult to obtain any sort of precision of movement or manipulation. Perhaps the biggest problem: balance. The more control given to the "pilot" the less they could regulate balance and weight transfer in the machine. These things, I am sure work well for the disabled and old people, but they aren't going to be used by technological super heroes or anything like that anytime soon.
Thank heavens the human body is nowhere near close to a good source of energy due to its high energy usage just to stay alive. That and its really hard to power anything of a 98.6 F thermal power source.
Connery said, "Video games are an extremely popular form of entertainment today, and I am looking forward to seeing how it all 'fits together'."
There are reports of Connery adding (off the record), "and I would like to see the young, digital me, frisk some virtual ladies if you know what I mean..."
Yeah man.... I got stuck in one of them cool room or cooling system "rumbles". They are hardcore. I lost a buddy in one those... pen wound. I still have a scar from when a Cool Roomer stabbed me with a ISA Modem.
It is certainly unfortunate that we don't pump out near as much government funded knowledge hunting as we used to when we were worried about being bigger and better than the soviets (or at least it seems this way). Think about alternative energy. If you we could get 8 years of solid funding and dedicated research from the government to try and development our knowledge in this vein we could get so much done to end Oil-dependence. If we could make the switch to corn ethanol car-fuel. We could do so much good. But imagine an administration trying to get our nations citizens to pay 30$ more in taxes just for silly research. All these subjects get now is insincere lipservice. Things that could better our society can't always even get true funding. Knowledge for the sake of knowledge? It just isn't going to cut it in our Oprah, J.LO and Franklin Graham kinda Society.
We are not allowed to do something that might confuse someone? As long as it doesn't claim to be official that is all that matters. I think it will become rather obvious that is not an official site as soon as they read how much the person hates the company in the name.
Don't be silly. If I want to register "restauraunt.com" and never say a word about food on the site, that is my right. If you don't like it you don't frequent it.
...poorly done. look at the piece of information the summary is based on.
"88 percent of respondents said that the quality, performance and reliability of Windows was equal to or better than Linux.'
That doesn't seem to really give us solid info. Does that mean that they think Linux is what the people surveyed will use as a bench mark? Does that Mean that was the question that asked to the people surveyed (ie Do you think that the quality, performance and reliability of Windows is equal or better than that of Linux?) Do we have any idea how many of those surveyed had experience with both types of systems? The point here is that we don't understand what the heck they are using as a method to gather info and reach their conclusion. From what the article tells us we may as well think they asked it in one yes or no question.
Fair enough. I am biased because it definitely has helped me. Some people need an ideological shift before they need a chemical one. It is true. Seeing a doctor was the last thing I wanted to do. But others would rather just pop a pill. I see where you are going.
I didn't say there weren't people unnecessarily diagnosed. But DON'T YOU DARE tell me that what I went through with depression was some sort of lie. Anti-depressants aren't some sort of magical drug that provide/cause fuzzy happiness all the time. IT just lets me control my feelings better. I still have ups and downs. It is merely nice have some ups too. not just downs like I did before. I suggest you examine your words and your understanding before you talk about things you've obviously never experienced.
Look at how many people in the general US population are now hooked on seratonin-regulating drugs for "depression"... and yet, MDMA is still illegal. What a joke.
Ummm You might might want to watch what you say about drugs for depression. It is a documented illness. Not something you put in quotes like it is some sort of lie. Also, as far as I know, mainstream anti-depression drugs are all non-habit forming. Maybe you know something I don't, but I do know that there are definitely people who can't control feelings of depression and need help. "Depression" isn't some lie to keep us all in line like in some Ray Bradbury novel.
First of all what your wrote makes no sense in terms of linguistic syntax. Second of all is that supposed to be funny? I listen to pretty much only classical music and yet I can still listen to other peoples' music and be civil and intellectual about it. You however seem a tad short in your rational and intrapersonal abilities.
Music is music. Just because you don't like some of it doesn't mean you can just be a retard about it. Grow up.
You make a good point. But my (albeit limited) understanding of the hardware is that just doesn't magically transfer to the PC market. Console hardware is much different. I could be wrong. it happens a lot.
Sony's hand is being forced by the XBOX Next. don't expect The ps3 to debut until a fair amount of time after the XBOX 2. But they have to make noise to keep peoples attention.
Microsoft currently gets a lot of attention because they have let out the most info about their system. Sony and Nintendo aren't holding out on giving us specs to be secretive. They need to get the public's eye and hold it. They just don't have specs ready yet. The ones at E3 will probably be subject to change for all we know.
...where I think a new generations is maybe a tad soon. However, the advances in graphic engines and GPU's even since the XBOX was introduced are huge. Look at DOOM 3 and HL2 and then look at your PS2. They are nothing in comparison. The PS2 is in its prime of game development, and it will soon be around the time they have nothing left to do with it, (after FFXII, Grand Turismo 4 and a few other choice upcoming titles-- Phantasy star universe anyone?) there will be not much left to speak of for the system. We have God of War and GTA 4 and MGS 3 and Xenosaga 2 and 3 FF games on the system and not to mention countless other quality titles. Really it is about time for Sony to move on. They are technologically inferior to their counterparts. and they are revealing their system after XBOX next and conceivably after revolution as well. Xbox is prematurely forcing hands, however the PS2 is the oldest of the current generation of machines.
It is probably about time to see the new machines revealed and hyped, but I expect the next generation to last longer than this one did. The PS2 and GC and XBOX (at least to my knowledge, well maybe they XBOX...) weren't at the cutting edge of game technology when they were introduced, this time around they will be (Cell processors etc.). IT at least gives me hope for a longer system life next time around.
On a side note it is interesting that the newest of the consoles, the XBOX is the one quickest to jump on the new hardware train.

R-rated movies do not sell better than PG stuff. Check the top grossing films of all time. in the top twenty, I saw one R-rated film.
