I go to a semipublic university and there are a few private ones in the town. They don't really card anyone going in or out, but if you're not a student, you can't remove books or use the internet. So basicly, you can do book/periodical research in the library.
FTFA: "The list could include Slashdot, which permits public profiles; Amazon, which allows author profiles and personal lists; and blogs like RedState.com that show public profiles. In addition, many media companies, such as News.com publisher CNET Networks, permit users to create profiles of favorite games and music."
This is altogther halarious. Slashdot is now will be illegal in public!
Besides, shouldn't it be up to the organization to make rules on their computer use? Or is this another case of the government sticking it's nose where it doen'st belong?
This is why I always wondered why people fund/do research on if prayer? What good does it do? Now in science, that is never a good attidtude, but... You aren't going to convince anyone of anything and you can't prove anything. When you're dealing with God, all bets are off. I never insert God as a crutch in science. So what is the point?
OK, on topic: This is why I want to go into molecular/computatioal bio. Weird, exciting, important things are always there tobe discovered (ok, so you can make that assertion about any science, but I prefer bio).

I think teh gp means that you can sit at a UNIX terminal, then move to a Linux terminal, and find only minor differences in the interface and setup, same with BSD(but that is a differnt animal all together, ). I think a better term is UNIX-like, bc as someone stated Linux Is Not UniX;-)
Just because you have the words, does not mean that you know what they mean. Something is gained by many songs by being able to know the lyrics. I understand that lyrics are copywrited, but I thought that that meant that you can't pass them off as your own, not you cannot collect and pass them out among friends (while retaining the identidy of teh copywriter)...
Excelent point, and if I could mod this I would. Spelling can give meaning to words that you may have never seen before, whereas the same would be harder to get from phonetics.
As a person who can't spell well, I think that this is a horrible idea. As a previous poster mentioned, written English isn't the same as spoken English and have almost never have been. Also, if we made obsolete the current system, it would still have to be maintained, just like Americans still have to know what colour and honour are. As another poster mentioned, WHOES, English? In Pittsburgh our and hour sound exactly alike, yet in other places they are very different. English cannot be taught fully phonetically (as the school experimented with my class and failed). My bro and sis were taught with different methods and can spell exceptionally well. I believe that the earlier spelling reform (in the colonies) was to separate us from the Brits, by removing mostly silent letters. There were some non-silent changes, but I don't recall many of them.
* PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
* Built-in FireWire
* At least 256MB of physical RAM
* A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
* At least 3.0 GB of available space on your hard drive; 4GB of disk space if you install XCode 2 developer tools
* DVD drive for installation (get CD media for $9.95)
I think you could max a G3 at 800Mhz and it ran at 200Mhz on the low end. Not sure why Firewire is needed, but I think the requirment of a graphics card it smart:-p
3GB of space is still hefty, but not compared to Vista.
# PC with 300 megahertz (MHz) or higher processor clock speed recommended; 233-MHz minimum required; Intel Pentium/Celeron family, AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family or compatible processor recommended # 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended (64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features)) # 1.5 gigabyte (GB) of available hard disk space. # Super VGA (800 × 600) or higher resolution video adapter and monitor # CD-ROM or DVD drive # Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
I have never seen XP run on anything slower than 800Mhz, but I have seen OS X, and it runs pretty well; it is responisive to say the least.
So let us say that both OS are full installs (bc, quite frankly, there is a lot of features (such as language support that you can choose to not install, on both if I'm not mistaken) AND clean installs of both work at comprebale speeds on similar (particualy old) hardware , XP is roughly half the size and uses less memory (I'm assuming 128MB min for full functionality). But that's assuming XP runs well at 128MB RAM (never tries, so I cannot say). Now I'm not going to get into, or start a feature war, but I think that both are reasonable expectations for what you get. Vista is not...
So, even my MS standards, Vista specs are horrible.
BTW: 128MB video WTF? What about comps w/ integrated video? Ans since when is a white box ship with a gig of RAM standard?
Just remove it my ass. School admins don't take shit. They don't ask, they just do. People tend to forget that the School admins are responsible for the safety of tons (literally:-p) of minors. They don't take jokes and don't have a sense of humor. If you don't know that, they you disserve what you get. You have to play inside the rules when it comes to ANYTHING (including jokes) that can be a threat (name calling and what not can't be punished as harshly, since it doesn't constitute a breach of anyone's safety).
Btw, parents protect their kids too much. If they do something wrong, they have to face the music. If I did anything in school, I got punishment twice over at home (and I'm 19, not an old timer).
I find it funny that I know alot of people who are trading swing code for HTML-like (XML based, but HTML-like for comparison) GUI design langs like JAXX. I always hate writting GUI code, and JAXX works for me, because it is like HTML and I can jsut type up the form and it makes it. I am just wondering if a good AJAX library would do better for developers than things such as GWT (well, I know it woudl be me and I was jsut wondering if I was a minority).
I didn't mean that they weren't covered outright, but that there were copays and such. In addition to other meds and other nessecities of life, they were streched very thin on income. Yes, they could afford it and still have $50 a month left, but that should not be how this is all run...
Then again, I had no control over their suplement, but it still should not be that way.

Really, I'm acctuly going upstairs to eat a lunch my mom made me.
Anyway, how can people ever do anythign to influence washington? I mean, I feel helpless compared to their incompetence.

So basicly in America you can't:
Give away wartime secrets on air
Teach people to make bombs
Porn
Or attempt to slander
You're right, I never knew that america was SO unreasonalble in what they expect of public broadcasts.
I thought it was any fiber the teleco owned, not just the last mile. Or am I wrong?

I guess it makes some sense now. But it didn't strike me at first.
I wonder how many ppl on /. have seen "A princess bride"? The only reason I know what its from is google (but I still don't get it)...
If only my boss didn't make me make stuff work in IE, I would:-p

I'm sure that space wouldn't be too much of an issue for something this important. Lossless, high-quality conversion is possible.
ummm...Why weren't they backed up? Arn't you suppose to back up your data as often as possible?
I'm not exacly sure why this was modded funny. It should have been flamebait.

What's with all the \'s (backslashes in case i goofed, I could never type the one I wanted...) latley?
BTW: I can forsee many reasons why this will lead to the adoption of Mac or Linux machines... Few people know where their OS came from...
