better supplement that collection with eyeballs and palms, just in case the MPAA goes that route. Don't use 'em at Wendy's, they're wise to that one now.
LOST REVENUE to describe the retail value of pirated goods is completely bogus. That said, I'm against priracy in our own "empire" where most people have the money and the means to play the game, but is it so bad that some poor people in the third world benefit from our very rich coporations efforts without taking anything away from them?
that's silly, the x86 market is growing year by year. And now Intel has a serious competitor AMD which also has a growing market for its x86 chips. Even if the world switched to largely using another processor, that wouldn't faze microsoft one bit, they've had NT based technology running on FIVE, count 'em FIVE, processors in the past and could easily once again port to say the PPC again if they so chose. They could make Windows run on a Mac if they so chose, be EASIER for them since hardware specs so limited compared to x86 world.
no big deal in the Linux/Unix/BSD world, install a whole freakin' new distro and remount the old partitions. I do burn my config files to backup along with my data.
no gaming, just coding in C/C++ and Ruby. Soon that RedHat 8 machine will be replaced by a SuSE 9.3 machine. I do have a windows 98se machine for taxes and printing that never gets OS upgrade because MS is still putting out patches and security fixes (got the commercial Linux distros beat there).
Micheline went on to say, "we must also bear in mind that creatively speaking, for all intents and purposes, Lucas has been dead for over 25 years now anyway. The computational horsepower of this new facility will greatly aid in producing eye candy based on 20 to 30 year old tv and movie ideas, in lieu of actual imaginative productions"
it's a funny thing, what happens is that you can accelerate subjectively at 5G or whatever rate you want indefinitely, and you'll never reach lightspeed. An outside observer would see your rate of acceleration decrease as you approach the speed of light, such that you never reach the speed of light.
the thing that stood out in my mind was that it was the Mother's Day weekend here in the States, and Maureen O'gara actually published the personal infomation of (either the real or another) PJ's elderly Mother !! What kind of evil and twisted person would be willing to stalk and risk the safety and security of an elderly person in such a manner? Maureen needs to have law enforcement personnel and a psychiatrist visit her home and ask some probing questions about her state of mind and motives; she is exhibiting potentially dangerous predator/stalker behaviour.
Today Richard Stallman extended the hemp leaf of peace to Microsoft, saying "glide on down to my pad, baby, and let's roll up some J's and be mellow, like, and build the software stairway to heaven, dig?
Advances in the biological sciences are far more important to over half the world's population. We need hardy nutritious plants that can grow anywhere people live, and maybe even plants or living reproducing goop that can serve the same purpose as vaccinations, antibiotics & other pharmaceuticals (I know, the corporate world is really going to hate to lose their recurring revenue just to save lives). As for providing computers, why not go to the old mainframish model of one system with dozens of cheap ($25-50) terminals at a central location.
people who make $1-2 per day will not spend over half a year's income on a computer, nor do they form a good tax base for their government to spend such an amount on them.
in expressed traits due to environmental conditions? In other words, is there really new information in the genes that never existed before in parents? Maybe these observed differences are nothing more than say the way some bird's plumage has brillant colors when in hot climates but dull colors if in cold climates.
"reaching unto heaven" might just mean tall, not reaching into outer space. Have to disagree about lack of structural materials being suitable, Until 150 years ago, the tallest known man-made structure for over 5000 years was built by people from about that time period (c. 2500 b.c.), the Great Pyramid
what a crock, he RE-invented the carbon filament, and, according to your linked article "some say" he tried tungsten as a filament....probably the editors of Pravda and Radio Moscow said that.

wow, a month of uptime on windows, I'd better switch! 10:40am up 642 days, 17:47, 7 users, load average: 1.01, 0.20, 0.15

mmmm, unprocessed fish sticks in oil
Johnny needs to learn American Standard English, there's really no need or use to either talk or spell like a UK citizen.

maybe that's what GNUStep will be, give it a couple more years

Outpacing the even the steep markups on Microsoft office products in the last 3 years, 5.4 will cost you 150% as much as 5.3 did ! ! ! !

Swan invented the carbon filament lightbulb in 1860, and sued Edison in British courts some 20 years later
but this time they'll land safely on mars, successfully get a sample, correctly navigate the return trip, and then hit earth.
you should have seen the Great Tower of China before it tipped over and became The Great Wall of China

well, we don't have something quite that spiffy in the open source world, but we do have this
