So you're saying that children raised by single parents (ie. no mother or no father) are unhealthy? There's obviously a role model missing here (by your standards).
And what about families with abusive parents? Do you really want the children to use them as role models?
If a child is in a loving family with 2 parents dedicated to each other, I fail to see how that is any less healthy than all the "traditional" alternatives.
Not quite. Messages would still travel as they do now, but instead of the sender connecting to the receiver saying "Here's my message", it's "I have a message to send to you now" and the server immediately connects back saying "Ok, give it to me"
In FTP, the client tells the server what IP it's at. The server then makes a connection to the client. Wouldn't this sort of thing help prevent spoofing and getting a "true" IP that we can then put in the headers?
Would this not help solve the "non-tracability" of spam?
This sort of thing could be optional at first.
So hopefully, over time, the ends closest to the end-users will have more and more Received: lines that are the new way and various servers/end users could opt to reject mails that aren't 100% new-style received headers.
The only way to spoof headers then would be to forge it, but then someone's gotta talk to a back-connect server which will yield a true IP which would be tracable....Matt
Microsoft could only buy id Software if id Software were "up for sale". Since it's a privately owned company, Carmack et al would have to agree to the purchase. It's not like Microsoft could do a hostile takeover like they can with a public company. Bungie too was a privately owned company. I would assume that Microsoft made an offer and Bungie took them up on it. But the Bungie owners did not fight the buy and lose.
However, there have been stories where Microsoft has made an offer for a company where that company declined the offer. Afterwards, Microsoft goes on a vendeta to "squash" said company. I honestly don't think there's much Microsft can do in this case to "squash" id.
Internet Explorer is part of the user-interface level. The operating system is not (or atleast should not) be at this level. Thus, I find it very hard to believe that Windows cannot exist without Internet Explorer. After all, Window 95 existed without requiring Internet Explorer.
However, I am willing to believe that now Windows Explorer (the Windows UI shell) cannot exist without Internet Explorer. Windows Explorer is, after all, just another application just like Program Manager was back in Windows 3.1.
A couple of weeks ago, I had an idea similar to this. What I wanted was a device that had a 7" display that could act like a portable digital photo album.
My girlfriend likes to take pictures. She's not keen on getting a digital camera because she doesn't want to have to look at the pictures with a computer (let's put the printer conversation aside).
I figured that if she had a device that she could take with her, slide in a disc with the actual pictures on it, then she can browse the pictures away from her computer. So the theory is that she'd use her computer to compile albums on some form of disc (or something similar). These digital albums could then be taken and viewed using a portable device designed to input one of these discs, and display the photos on a 7" screen.

RCA has one that you can buy now (DRS7000N). Its hard drive is about half the size, but it still looks good. It's a little under $900 Canadian.

These digital frames are 1/2 way there.
