when you get get Gigabit Internet speeds on Internet2 that make WiMax look like it's sick?
Lots of hype for this, but I still don't see why it's supposed to be that good when I can easily set up a four-port wireless 11b/g base station at my home, pop on the encryption, and get better service and security.
How can they limit the number of licenses when I'm still reading the EULA and all the links to the legal exceptions that have me promise my first-born son to Bill G if I don't walk widdershins around the source code and genuflect to Redmond three times a day?
it's not surprising he'd visit our sister UW in Wisconsin to give a speech.
I mean, I'm sitting in Suzzalo right now, across from the Paul Allen library, next to Mary Gates hall, and walked past probably six Gates buildings just this morning.
The thing to remember is the only thing that will change this is Action, not words.
The most effective thing you can do is phone one of the 20 legislators - or yours to make sure s/he doesn't join them - and tell them you are unhappy with their support for this and will give money and your vote to their opponent.
The second most effective thing is to send them a 20 cent postcard - use one of those free ones at restaurants and clubs - and write a short note about it and sign it.
The third most effective thing is to email them about it - but this is about 1/100th as effective as calling them and 1/10th as effective as writing them.
The least effective thing is to talk about it but take no action.
Well, if you have WinXP and try to run games on a wireless laptop, it can sometimes take up to ten minutes to close out all the task tray icons they clutter it with, shut off all processes, and finally run the game.
Which will then promptly crash and then you have to bring back up all the wireless services so you can - finally - report the bug to bugzilla on the desktop task tray icon...
I got to hear them live at Dawg Days last week, along with Smoosh and Presidents of the USA and that so rocked!
Now they're going open source, it's severely kuhl!
ok, so I get carried away, but my first few degrees I hardly went to the free student parties cause I was way too geek and now geek is ok and I don't care, since I'm going for a doctorate (way way too many years to think of, but...)
Seriously, they were just what I needed when I heard them on the HUB lawn.
is that he's so realistic. Just think of all the fish-faced officials we see at the federal level, some of whom are unable to speak intelligible English, as the horror and morass that spreads consumes our society of greed.
We live in dark times - and having Cthulhu on DVD is really good market time.
Sinister, even.
oh, has anyone checked to see if Rove or Cheney has gills yet?
Do you have any plans to include other means of warfare, such as economic warfare and the use of interest rates, bonds, companies and good old fashioned money to conquer? It could add another layer of depth once players approach the modern age
I for one would like to see methods like the British used in the Falklands War, where they parasailed in units that counterfeited large quantities of Argentinian money, or the current economic supports the Saudis (or I guess technically the Saudi rebels - how you can call 99 percent of a country "rebels" is another matter) give to the Iraqi Resistance in the current Iraqi War, or what we did in Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation - anyway, I would love to see this in the final version of Civ that comes out.
Reality is sometimes stranger than fiction, and it's a heck of a lot cheaper to research and develop simulations for.
Will anti-globalisation and corporate rebellion movements be realistically depicted for those civilizations that are in the corporate/globalist role and will we be able to have Heroes of Open Source or other such Influence characters like Linus et al who can become focal points in letting peaceful open pro-enviro civilizations crush the corporate war-mongering technocrats and instill the Religion of Open Souce worldwide in a low-impact lifestyle?
Or will this not be implemented instead?
As the guy behind the Ecotopian Guerrillas in Illuminati (yeah, my name had two hyphens then), I was kind of curious...
it was highly illegal to destroy or alter a consumer's legally purchased or used software without a warrant. And Open Source software is legally purchased pursuant to it's license requirements.
Not only that, but the new anti-spyware law says software which harms or damages a computer is illegal as well...
Or did I miss something and we live in Red Russia now under Comrade Bush?
So? Who the frick cares what Tommi thinks about Music is a Priviledge versus a Right? Is Tommi the head of a nation? No. Is Tommi in charge of patents worldwide? No. Is Tommi the owner of most music industries that bleed the beginning musician dry with fake fees and accounting that has no connection to reality? oh...
The article says Apple is getting a gigabyte of flash for $25 (wholesale). The best RAM prices I've seen this year has been $118 (retail). As recently as last year flash was more expensive.
Not this year. You can buy a post-manufacturer 1GB Flash card with MP3 player, FM radio, and voice recorder for under $50 right now if you know where to look.
Let's just not go there with the oot-and-aboot stuff. The last thing I need is to imagine a bunch of flappy-headed Canadian Sims, and the notions of "hot date", or worse, "hot coffee", all conflated in something that sounds like Greater Toronto Area: Sim City.
But as long as it's too late for my mind to escape the pain, I may as well share it with you.
According to the UN and various research studies, Canadians have twice as much sex per person as Americans do.
Maybe you're just envious of how cute Canadian girls are, how much longer Canucks live (10 years) than Yanks, and that they actually have a health care system and a budget surplus?
That or you wish you could have hot dates like that.
Mmmm, donuts. Coffee. Yup, that makes me randy, baby!
Someone needs to make a Sin City redux of Sim City. That would be significantly more entertaining.
There is a video cheat that lets you turn the animation to black and white with grainy kind of like in Sin City. You might try playing it with that mod on.
Man, we thought Hot Coffee was bad. Now that Nightlife is installed Sims will gleefully Make Woohoo (have sex) 4 or 5 times on a single date. In the bed, in the car, in the hot tub, in the change booth in the clothing store, in the photo booth... there's no stopping these sims. They're like rabbits.
Sounds like the character I'm doing in Sims 2 with University add-on.. I get him to do Woo Hoo in a hot tub, he wants to do it in a bed, then he wants to do it in public, and so on.
The only thing that I have to look forward to is I'm almost at his Lifetime Goal of doing Woo Hoo with 20 sims, and then he can get married and have a kid, who this time can go to college (he was an F student and grew up before I found the aging off cheat in the gamebook) like his girlfriend did (she was his first public Woo Hoo since I wanted her to feel special and had him burn 2500 aspiration to get engaged to her... plus they REALLY set off the fireworks when they Woo Hoo so I think they'll be good for each other, especially since her Lifetime Goal is to become Chief of Surgery and we all know when the Doctor's Away, the Romance Sim will Play...).
Man, what a pain.
I can't imagine wanting to play Nightlife if it makes me have to arrange that even more....

and life is oh so much sweeter.
Plus, I get way more sex.
so we can work for him at the new MSFT buildings in Bangalore, India?
Just curious.

that actually shows what they mean by the Dance of chemicals as they change partners.
Quite nifty, provided you have a flash plug-in.

i'd have to say that myself and most of the other lifetime members agree.
And we love movies.
It's gotten so bad I turn down probably 3/4 of all the free movie screenings I'm offered, due to the excessive nature of Hollywood tripe.
and count up who got how much and that's how you will find out what will happen with most patents in this corrupt regime.
Yes, years ago this would have been paranoia, admittedly. But now, sadly, it's just the way they "do" business.
It's kind of hard to grow from 100 percent penetration.

Well, sure, but since I met Pedro here at the UW, opening for the Presidents, we need to be specific about which one we mean.
I just got really annoyed by all the spam and started turning in that kind of stuff to the secret service and the FBI.
If I didn't get so much spam from things like that, they probably wouldn't have investigated.

use Open Office instead.

I can't wait for the next expansion...Sims 2, the Morning After, including fun mini-games like where's my f*cking coffee and who the hell are you?
...
... maybe my sim should take care of his Hygeine score before making breakfast?
So far, they just seem to get dressed and hurry out the door, even when my master chef sim makes a nice omelette breakfast for them
Strange, that
