I guess I really lucked out by going to emory university. Tho it's known as a pre med and pre business type school, they do have a pretty decent cs department. We do all of our development on solaris systems with VI. Thier attitude seems to be "you're fools if you need a gui for this stuff." I guess that's what happens when the department is run by a die hard unix geek.
also, we do do assymbly early on, so i guess they do try to make sense here.
ummmmm and where does the money to do the R&D come from? I mean people have to eat, and that goes for musicians and software developers. The money's gotta come from somewhere

Dammit. I can't watch movies that I PAID FOR either. I've been trying so hard, but I can't find a VHS player for my laptop anywhere. The EVIL MPAA has struck again.
Having a database of troublemakers could come back to haunt them. Suppose an enterprising troublemaker haqs the database and contacts other troublemakes. That enough will spell revolution. Individuals can always outsmart beauracracy and a government has never been able to withstand change without changing. Although this is not good, it is not the evil end of the world.
Actually, i know this guy. He didn't do anything by thoughtfull posting. He's a karma whore. He's admitted it quite often on irc infact. He also he was a kick ass speller in high school so i think the misspelling is a joke. You know, maybe if people at slashdot didn't take them selves so seriously, stuff like this wouldn't happen. I mean, what's really so bad about trying to get a first post.
You're very mistaken about what would happen. First off, shielding ourselves from gravity is not like twirling a ball around your head. That ball probably makes about 1 revolution per second. The Earth on the other hand makes one revolutoin per every 24 hours. That's 86400 times slower. So you will not be flung. For a little while you would not think that you anything was happening. Then as the earth's curvature causes the planet to move away from you, you would notice that you're feet nolonger touch the ground. I could do the math and give you exact numbers, but that it would take some time for this separation to become something to worry about, so you will have time to float around. You will not find yourself suddenly flung into outer space. Since you fly off at the same tangential velocity the world is spinning at, you will remain in about the same place relative to the surface, just getting higher fairly slowly.
I think another problem with giving the money to public schools instead of creating a free college is that people can attend public school for free. This is education that even the poorest are garunteed of getting. Granted, it might not be as good as say a private school in prep ville, but it's better than nothing. However, once the poorer people leave high school, they have nowhere else to go. I atleast, do not know of any free colleges. Therefore, these people have no hope of higher education. Now with a computer and an internet connection, they can get that, and hopefully stand a chance against those who are lucky enough to be able to afford the traditional methods of getting this level of information.
Unfortunatly the ending was the only real way to end the movie realisticly. We all know that powerful figures that stray outside of the mainstream are eliminated by those who wish to maintian the status quo. To add to this, Bullworth was a black leader. Of course he was going to take a "cap in the ass." Also, he had to die, cuz if Bullworth had survived, America would have gotten better, which it obviously hasn't. Like, we might have honest politicians, and a government run by good honest citizens instead of religous zealots, crack heads, and crooks, like the one we have now. Infact, one of the presidential canidates running right now is a coke head, and the other a crook, go figure. If bullworth lived, that movie would have been as unrealistic as MTM.
the problem with a fast,laptop is that it also means a hot laptop. Hot laptops are no good, they tend to freeze for no reason every so often. Then again, I maybe be wrong and prehaps the crusoe runs cooler than my celeron, but heat is defiently something to think about.
This is true, however, the Constitution of the United States is a fluid document. There are different interpritations of different segments as the country evolves and changes. This fluidity WAS an intent of the founding fathers. It was for this reason they added the amendments in the first place. With this being said, yes the founding fathers wanted to prevent one form of protestanism from rising above the rest, but the interpritation of this has changed in the past 200 yrs. Now the general consenous among educated and rational people (yes this is politically biased) is that the first amendment now garuntees the freedom of ALL religions, meaning that one cannont be descriminated against for religion anymore than the state allows them to be discriminated against based on sex or race. Therefore people like this do have a right to be heard, but should not have a right to control the fate of thier fellow non-fundamentalist Americans.
I don't think that computer law schools are especially nessecary. The current college students desire for a double major will take care of that problem. In fact I know many who are trying right now to combine computers with law. In a few years, this should start to take care of itself. Like always, the law will always drag behind developements in tech, hence all the lawsuits and attempted bandwith restrictions.
However, for this reason, there need to be schools that have equally good tech and law departments. Normally you get the good tech education at places that down play the humanities and vice versa. There aren't many schools that are able to successfully mix the two fields because they are so different. For instance, I don't know many tech people who care for any sort of humanities education. Most, think of it as a hinderance towards their personal goals of being a better hacker. So it's not just a problem of there not being appropriate schools, but their being a problem of tech people not wanting to take part in this legal stuff.
I don't think that there are is any parelell between the etoys law suit and the DVD-CCA one. In fact the only similarity is that a big guy is trying to smash the little guy. For one, the DVD suit is due to a conglomerate out to keep people from distributing their merchandise for free, instead of paying the companies for it. Also, if the decryptons codes are readily availible, this companies also lose thier power over the market. The only case close to this one is the RIAA vs MP3 and niether of these are going to go away anytime soon.
are we to assume that the students cannot use the bathroom? Afterall since when is taking a dump an educational activity. Also i guess that would mean that they can't use the electricity to power their computers to play solitair between papers? Saying that a shared rescourse can't be used for anything other than an educational resource is ludicrist.
I was under the impression that cell phones always send out signals in order to keep in contact with/find the nearest tower. So doesn't that mean that people don't even have to be talking for this to work? Could someone clarify this for me please.
Well true, the person in the control center can't tell who it is, but for example, they can tell who is speeding. With that information, they can tell a squad car in the area about the heading of the speeder and presto! some guy got a speeding ticket. This has been used before with bridges and helicopters, and this new technology will make it easier/cheaper to grab speeders. Whether this is good or bad, it's not for me to decide, but I defienetly seems to cut down on my freedom.
I don't think that I'm hurting any musicians with my MP3 collection. Almost all of my music is by people who are dead. They can't really suffer from me not buying their album anymore. In the cases where the musicians aren't dead, I only have albums that I couldn't find in stores, but still wanted to listen too or albums that I would never spend the money to buy. In either of those two cases NOBODY would be getting any money anyway, so NOBODY got hurt.
There have been many times when "god" was wrong. Remember Galileo? The advancement of the human species has been held back by god before, and I don't think that these scientists should let god impede their research. Hopefully they succeed. I'm sure experiements like these will give us insight into how we came about and give us the means to finally replace the outdated system of religion and god. Trejus
How would Linux constitute a monopoly? First off, there are a lot of different distributions. This it self constitutes competition Secondly, and most importantly, it's not a company, and therefore, it can't be a monopoly.
I think that sega should focus more on software and their games than on hardware. I used to own a Genesis and a Supernintedo. For the first year or so, I barely used the SNES. Why? Because the games for Genesis were a lot better. However, as time progressed Sega came out with console add-ons, while Nintendo worked on the games. The result was that by the end of the year, the nintendo games looked crisper and had better sound. If Sega markets the Dreamcast and really developes the games for it, then it will succeed. If not, well there's always Sony and Nintendo.
I'm also a musician and have one question. Can this do jazz improvisation? If so, is there anyway I can hide it in my horn so I don't sound like a fool at my next concert? If not, well atleast I still have a shot at a music carrer.

Well, he wasn't really the last of the jedi. I believe that Leia trains in the way of the force as well, and she and han have a lot of jedi children.

Just to clarify, that was 2010 after Dave Bowman came back from where ever he went at the end of 2001.
There isn't. Most of the mac owners I know use virtual pc to emulate windows and then run napster.
