To me, it is like the boy who cries wolf. If the FBI puts out "criminal" warnings on too many peace protestors, then the international criminal database will start ignoring FBI criminal warnings, allowing true criminals to exit the country and get away from prosecution. Way to go boys!
> low-end 16-bit CPU (IIRC, the Neo is a 68000-derived chip)
While yes it is a 68000 drived chip, the 680x0 series is 32-bit, not 16-bit, altho some models have a 16-bit external bus. All internal functions remain 32-bit.
Listening to an NPR program on battlefield recovery, I got to thinking how the soldiers on the field could be given a better chance for a full recovery if they recieved medical care sooner. Well, they're already getting emergency treatment to stabilize them within 30 minutes. But if they got it sooner, well just imagine. So I got to thinking, what would any soldier have with them that could administer treatment incase of wound? Why, their armor. Let's take these nano-tubes for a moment, and "fill them" with advanced hole and wound sealant technology? Why, the moment a soldier was shot, their wound would be patched, as the breaking of the tubes themselves would release the treatment. Add in an auto-administrator of medication to keep the soldier going till he could get to the hospital, I'd imagine full recoveries would go up, wouldn't you?
> Our documentation is far older than anything they have
Ahem, I likely am a rare commodity here, as a Kemetic Orthodox, and from my faiths perspective, your "far older" book is but a pup, a blimp on the radar of time. Pieces of our holy works have been found that pre-date Abraham, before Babylon, before the stated beginning of the world in your documentation. Your faith borrowed from ours, one of your key figures was even raised, and trained, by ours. You have no concept of time.
Incidentally, scientific papers pre-date the Christian Bible and the Holy Koran. Might I suggest seeking out the works of Imhotep, Hippocrates, Pythagrias, Su Song, Chang Heng, or Hero?
> Same really with the no-fly lists. Before the no-fly lists four aircraft where hijacked, and afterwards?
Actually, if you really want to argue this:
Before 2001, there were 0, repeat, 0 domestic hijackings within the United States for the previous 10 years. That is with none of these no-fly lists, nor the loss of liberties.
So, your arguement is useless as it goes on a false assumption. I would note that out of the 19 hijackers that day, most of them were already on a suspect list, and that's without "no fly" lists, warrantless wiretaps, and the like. It could be said that our overzealotness in making lists has actually increased a potential hijackers ability to "slip through" as now there's so much "noise" in the system.
The previous administration had recieved 36 terror convictions. The current? 1. Yes, read that number, 1. Our "new laws" have managed to actually decrease the number of convictions of terrorists. So, you really want to continue this arguement, or re-evaluate?
The United States has been slipping on the technology front, and this is another outwardly visible sign of that. If it does not turn itself around and fast, forgetting this political chess game it tries with the world, it will be left behind and forgotten, another empire whose time had come and gone.
I know the first thing my in-laws will say when they hear of these, "Do they run Windows?" And imagine if they did, and Storm infected them? Imagine the danger with millions of rootkitted robots running around....
I'm debating on if it's the Matrix or Terminator 3.
So, is Universal claiming copyright that was never given, by shutting down the sharing of sheet music irrelevent to its case? I do not understand where Universals basis for claim is for shutting down an entire site. By that logic, if I find Universal happens to have copied a screenplay of mine, I can claim that they must pull all of their movies out of the theatres and off of DVD shelves immediately.
Well, here we go, buying up this open-source company to kill competition. What do you mean our users "forked" our product? What do you mean the staff we just layed off just made a new company to support this fork? What did we pay umpteen gazillion dollars for?
And you could consider the previous name OS/2, which Microsoft had a part in until version 2. When MS and IBM had their falling out, they both has OS/2, which MS took and turned into NT and IBM evolved in it's own way.
When I heard of the movie project, I could do nothing but groan. "No more, Nemesis and Enterprise ruined it" was my thought. The franchise had been going down ever since the Dominion war in DS9. But, as time went on, and more details came out, I paused, and thought on it a bit. Rather than rehashing an existing concept, or trying to "expand" with jelly-sex-rubdown scenes, the producer is actually trying to reinvigorate things, but not by some highbrow concept that blew up in our faces with Enterprise and Voyager, but with a return to what makes the show stick with us after all of these years. It wasn't the TNG intellectualism, or the DS9 anti-heroism, or Voyagers attempt at survivalism, or Enterprises horrible attempt at merging all 3. It was the original series, sticking to the basic storytelling engine based on classic westerns, using Freudian psychology paired with Jung archetypes, all with the "Bandwagon to the Stars." By ripping away the layers of overdone polish and returning to the core essence of the show, then maybe, just maybe there stands a chance. Every casting choice made shows a deep understanding of this core concept. The actor choices being ideal canidates for the archetype or the psychological core element of the role being played. This gives me hope for the series I have not held for a very long time.
If time becomes space-like, what would that mean for us? Would we be able to transverse time as easily as space? Would time itself become irrelevent as we could look "forwards"? Will the cubs win the world series? These important questions have to be answered!
Macs are good machines, but they are not gaming machines by any stretch of the imagination. Then again, gaming on Windows or Linux is a kludge as well. I haven't seen a home computer optimized for gaming since the old Amiga. Frankly, all of these guys focus on their bread and butter, and if they can "happen" to get games to run, good.
I wanted a Newton when they originally shipped. I definately want one now! The issues the Newton have has been overcome in the general market thanks to the advancement of technology. If this comes out, I will retire my Palm V finally, providing it is as well built as the original Newtons.
It had to be '93 or '94, because I began running it my senior year of high-school, right before I had to switch to OS/2 in january '95 because it is what my college ran. It might have been 2.0 but I swore it was 3.0.
This action is akin to putting a finger in the dyke, but there are thousands, if not millions of other holes. You will run out of fingers (read funding) long before you ever patch up the holes in the wall that is DRM. We are in an era where the old rules of rights management can not survive. Pandoras Box is open, the cat is out of the bag, you cannot go back without causing more damage, if you can go back at all. Adapt or die.
I remember running Linux in '93, Slackware 3.0. Amazing how far we've come, but this step could not have been imagined back when I began. Our little penguin is now going mobile!

I wanted to know, how many slots (likely 1) and of what type. Which embedded GPU it has. What kind of RAM it used and how many free memory slots.
I'd buy something like this for the little one (or an OLPC or an EEE PC or the like) but I'd need to know how far it will grow first.
Sounds like Red Star Rogue, about the incident involving K-129 near Pearl harbor.

individually, you'd be right. But considering the sheer amount of tubes we're talking about, would be more than possible.

Incorrect. Those 36 include plots that were not carried out, prevented by the pre-9/11 use of the FISA court and good old fashioned police work.

Then you've never run an Amiga.
Pop in a disk, viola, it's a game console. Pop in a different one, it's a desktop computer. Some swapping, it's both at once.
