Hmm.. yes. I see your point. Between the wierd turning to stone posts and the floods of a single phrase, the disscussions are getting kinda bad. Also I would like to see some comfirmation on this story. It sounds pretty harsh if it is true and the MIT guys should get some help if it is; but there is a definate stink on this one. It smells a little fishy. But hey between the bizzare patents and some of the other legal battles going on anymore i can just about belive it. I dont know if i would pay but I would like the old/. back too.
Hmm.. good point. Better keep an eye out for that monolith. In 2061 the life on europa advanced pretty quickly once it got the heat from jupiter. It will be interesting if there is life there and it somehow evolves enough to make an impact. We may have some new neighbors. It is funny how arthur c clarke usualy has ideas that sound far fetched but arn't on closer consideration. The life on europa point is only one of the many.
There was life on europa in 2010 but the main part of it happend in 2061. That is where the monolith reapeard on europa and helped the life out, like it did on earth before in 2001
I think you are kinda missing the point of this. They are getting information without asking. A trivial piece of information, but one none the less. True they are supporting linux but im not sure if i want a company that is in essence stealing information from me supporting linux. Damn good thing the last id game i played was Ultimate Doom. I am more of an Unreal fan anyway.
Does he know that the magnification for the people who have a hard time seeing and the feature where a voice reads the screen for people who cant see are not new? Any one heard of Apple Easy Access?? Been there sence MacOS 6 i believe, possibly earlier. The voice part i dont think was added until 7.5 but it is still not very new. Damn micro lacky
Actualy my parents paid for it but it did take a lot to get them to. But most of my machines were the family ones so it was justified. And i would still pay more for a mac than i would for a pc but that is just my preference. Now if i would have had opensource Mac software i probably would have never came to the Linux side. But i still use Apple hardware to run Linux so nothing hardware wise has changed, just the os i use most and the software i use.
I think Linux definatly accelerated the OSS movement. As a life long Mac user (Im 18 so it wasnt hard to use them my whole life) I first heard of opensource from MkLinux. Even after i started booting MacOS and Linux on my machine looking for MacOS opensource projects brings in very few results and it is not very promising any way because the development tools you need are basicaly Metrowerks CodeWarrior and I could never afford that. On the other hand gcc and the other development tools on linux are free and i can afford them so I can recompile software and look for bugs and stuff and generaly help on some projects where as in MacOS i couldn't because as previously stated i dont have CodeWarrior.
Note: these are only my views and as stated by my age i have not been helping with opensource for all that long.
That would explain why it wasn't at my school library but it was available to the teachers who wanted to have the class read it. On a side note there are two schools by me that we call the prison prep schools. They are in the not so good nieborhoods but still they are built like prisons...10 ft razor wire topped fences and everything.
I agree with you. This could be a very good barganing tool. I some how doubt the government will see it this way though. And as previously suggested what if we just used encrypted ip over ip? wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the tap? If they grab some encrypted packets isn't that all they get, some encypted packets? I seriously doubt that anyone who is going to commit a crime that has any sence about them would communicate out in the open with out any encryption or anything.
I sencerly doubt it... apple has a love hate relation ship with linux...they support it but only sometiems and never fully. I am still trying to get everything working totaly on my Beige G3 with LinuxPPC. got most of it working but somethigns still work better under mac os than linux, atleast on the powerpc. I love the hardware though and i use both os's so its ok.
I wonder also(PowerBook 1400) but atleast another company besides apple and nokia are making things that look cool...and with IBM's recent vow to support linux on their thinkpads i just might get me one.
And hey...atleast its not a total rip off of apple's style.
Well the strength issue should change now that apple's iBook is comming out. The translucent plastic on those is actually stronger than the normal plastic used, or so i have heard. Also rummors are that the new iMac will be transparent with only a tint of which ever color you choose. Sence the original iMac plastic is what is used on the iBook i believe, it stands to reason that future iBooks will also be transparent with a tint. So maby we will get a clear cased notebook in not to long....or least there is a little hope that we will.
Unfortunalty this is true. As much as i hate pokemon and i dislike nintendo i think the parents when a little to far on this one. It was there responsiblity and they should have stopped their kids before it got out of hand. This just goes to show the dismal state of our justice system now adays. As i said i dislike nintendo but i hope they win this one and dont settle out of court. But they probably will settle so oh well.
I respect McCain too. Not only for all the crap he whent through when he was in the war but for his stance on things. Just about every stance he has taken on issues is very close to my stance and I like that finaly one of our polotitions is standing up for our rights on line. Or atleast starting to. I hear time and again about proposed bills that will impose taxes or cut our rights and I think it will do good to have someone shake up congress some and make them see that us net freaks have rights too and that the net is not just another cash cow for them. And i am prowd to say that he is from my state. One of the few legislative types that have come out of my state that are worth anything.
Yeah mine is right on the front of my ID in big BOLD lettering. there is another 9 digit number afterward but sence the ssn is always first it doesn't take intelegence to read it. My highschool used ssn for the normal students but almost all of the accelerated students had randomly assigned 9 digit id's.
I have CD-R's that dont have a lable on them so it must be stored on a layer just under the label. Also CD-R's from a company called Great Quality suck realy realy hard. so do their CD-RW's

Here is an email from Kevin telling how the Sun applogy wasn't enough. Its a real shame.

It is interesting because it is polotics. and polotics affect every one no matter how you view religion.
