The answer to how much clearer you could express this, is that you should have wrote this in the beginning, and not been so elliptical.
Then I would have been appreciative and thankful.
Assume agreeing "on one point" means not talking about you, and if the answer is yes, then I heartily agree. Sorry, but you are kind of nebulous about what you mean about this "point".
Well you and your friends could be right, and then again maybe not. My source is a book of quotations published in the USA in the 1930s or 1940s. They could be wrong, but then how sure are you?
"Precision in language facilitates clear thinking". It also prevents misunderstandings. Of course your previous posts I didnt misunderstand. I just couldnt figure out what the hell you were talking about.The quote incidentally is from Readers Digest, by one of the Funk brothers.
If you want to keep the discussion on a friendly level, next time dont be supercilious.
Huh?
You're still not making much sense. Do you or your "people you know in Japan" experts know anything about this proverb or not?
All you seem to be doing is talking about yourself. Now I am sure that is very interesting to you, but it would be nice if you stuck to the relavant topic of conversation.
Before you answer next time, try not drinking any beer for a couple of hours. Oh, and please give my regards to the Mikado.
So you lived in Japan for several years, and that makes you an expert on the Japanese. Oh, excuse me. I could go into my background also, but quite frankly that is not relevant about who is correct.
So MidnightBrewer has to do about drinking coffee, not beer. That's your definetion of a name you made up. The common definetion of brewer is someone who makes beer.
But then I guess everyone is suppose to think like you, right? And what the hell does "would be more plausable if in inches and feet, dont you think" mean? Said this before on/. and will say it again. I am not Harry Cohen watching the Lady from Shaghai, and I will not pay anyone $10k to explain it to me. But if anyone besides you knows what you wrote, they are a smarter person than me Gunga Din.
And I still think you drank too many beers.
So eweek asked MS what was said at a meeting with OSDL, and MS refused to say. What else did you expect? The question is what OSDL had to say.
Let me guess. Eweek found out about the meeting from OSDL, but OSDL said they agreed to secrecy from MS. Which is a big reason why not to have anything to do with MS. If it is open source, why does anything have to be secret?
Yes, I am sure MS has a good answer to that question, like they do for why the xp operating system can not be defragmented so there is a large clear open space
Dealing with MS is like getting in a snakepit. OSDL will get bitten. The documented history of bad experiences with MS is just the tip of the iceberg. And yes, I have heard some of the undocumented cases.
Ok, so NCSA claims to not be associated with this paper, but several changes have been made to reflect several concerns of NCSA staff.
So which is it, NCSA, are you involved or not? And from the fact that changes were made to reflect your concern, it sounds like you were involved. It also sounds like you pissed off Google.
MidnightBrewer is your name, huh? I think you've had too many beers.
That is the literal translation of the proverb, and it makes plenty of sense if you are from Asia. Or for that matter, even if you are not from Asia. Come on man, it's like the I Ching, full of metaphor and wisdom, like that girl in the ad. And yes, I know the I Ching is Chinese.
I am that girl from Japan in the ad, and I dont think you are at all funny. What do you think we are selling, the door or me? No, wait, dont answer that.
A woman with a six inch tounge can kill a man six feet tall- real Japanese proverb.
No the government doesnt have to provide us with broadband internet. Just have the government enforce the existing laws.
You know, like the Sherman Antitrust Act, the Bill of Rights, the fair trade laws, etc.. Just little technicalities that exist to protect everyone, including yourself.
This is rediculous and arrogant.
The way to stop this type of tyrany is just to boycott the olympics and the advertisers that sponser them. You think after the problems they had at Athens they would have learned.
Well I am glad to read Mr Spector is flying first class at someone else's expense.
But one thing he has to understand is that so far it is all talk. And there is a big distance between that and a deal.
Dealing with the higher end of Hollywood is actually very pleasant, based on my experience. However, even representing a "named" product doesn't guarentee a deal. There are so many hurdles, issues, and people to resolve when you are talking with the name studios, producers, and agents. For example, dont know about right now, but when I briefly was dealing in that enviorment, there were many large firms that would not pursue a deal unless it could gross so much for them. And then there is the issue of copyright, and believe me, that will apply to games.
Just remember the lines from the movie the Maltese Falcon, "$10000? We were talking about a lot more money" "Yes we were, sir. But that was just talk. This is genuine coin of the realm. With a dollar of this you can buy $10 of talk".
To what extent did the Lord of the Rings saga influence the development team, and to what extent are they themselves fans of this saga?
Dont know if the answer was given a long time ago, and apologize if asking the same question again. To me the question seems so obvious.
I can spend much time commenting on the stupidity of this whole incident.
However, I have this question for the Florida supervisors and administrators. Have you ever heard of a filter? They exist you know, and even web proxies have difficutlies getting around them if they are in the local system net. There are probably always ways to avoid filters. But anyone that can get past the best filters, is probably spending more time learning how to do that, then bothering to look at "adult content".
You have an excellent point about why we should have standard time zones, and not Universal Coordinated Time worldwide.
However, I think time zones should be done away with, and in their place just UTC for everywhere on the earth. Granted I, actually being from Hawaii, would have it harder knowing whether it was morning in Europe, but with our technological, and hence cultural changes, this is becoming less relavent. Many people in urban areas are actually living 24 hours a day, eg, 24 hour fitness centers, 24 hour restaurants, 24 hour retail stores, etc..
Let me give you a personal example. On the internet I am involved in a chat/conferance with people on the mainland US and in Western Europe. We are going to meet online and talk the following day. Some US people say they will be online at 2:00. I ask what timezone. And from there we spend a half hour or more, with several time zones, trying to figure out when each of us will or can be on.
Standard time was created because of railroad schedual sequencing. UTC should be the only time because of internet pervasity and the world literally becoming one global village.
So maybe this is why the Feds want backdoors to all Isp's. And why they leaked the info to the Wash Post.. To justify themselves, with the Wash Post being their stealth propaganda organ.
Of course now the terrorists know about this , and can probably take the appropriate action to evade detection. So maybe the real reason for backdoors is to spy on our own citizens.
Wouldn't it have been better to do all this in secret and hack into these sites if they were really interested in tracking criminal activity? Yes, I know maybe that's illegal like half the other things the Feds are doing. Of course hacking into sites is a lot more difficult and takes brains. And we all know the Feds dont like to do things difficult and have no brains.
The first step to a totalitarian society is to take away people's privacy.

Well gee Doc, dont you think the terrists know where your site is and can take their own pictures?
Did this guy get his Doc from some mail order diploma school? I mean he just broadcasts that they have no security over most of the reacter. What he did is just tell everyone the site's security flaws and gave a number of sociopaths ideas that they probably would never have thought of.
I didnt know there was a doctor's degree in stupidity.
Different story falc.. The one I referred to, happened in 2003.
Man that Boston office must really be terrable. You think with that many scandels they'd fire everyone including the janitor, and just bring a whole new team on board from across the country.
But wait, that would be too simple wouldn't it? And then you have to wonder who higher up in the FBI was protecting these smucks.
One sight is Tompaine.com.
But really you just have to read news sources other than the mainstream American media. The European press is a good place, particularly Briton, but more so France and Germany, such as La Monde and Spiegel. Eg, a couple of years ago on a Sunday the London Observer had a story about 28 FBI agents in the Boston office indicted for ties with the Mafia, and the President of Boston University being implicated. The end sentence quoted the Spec Ag in Charge as saying, "I'm tired of everyone saying we're a bunch of crooks. We're not crooks." Yeah sure, I believe that.
I checked to see if that story was in the American media. Needless to say, I couldn't find anything.
But really just searching and reading on the internet in general is the best source. This story in Slashdot we read and some of the informed comments is a perfect example.
If you become aware of any good sights, please let me know.
This is going to be a mess
Have you ever really seen the people that work for the Feds? They are incredably incompetent and stupid. You are assuming some intelligence here, and it will never happen. Just look at their own net/computer screwups, the one's documented to the public. Also take a look at how rife their "intelligence" agencies are with spys, again the documented cases.
"A policeman's job is only easy in a police state"- Orson Welles Touch of Evil
You're right.
Went myself to a "name" science / tech university.
Some of the TAs fortunately were pretty good. Most were crap. The Proffs lectures I usually never went to, because they talked about everything except what they were suppose to teach.
Have to admit, there were a few proffs from Europe that actually did take an interest in their lectures and what the TAs were doing. In the science I majored in, eg, one day proff shows up in TAs class, sat in a student desk, and listened to the TA teach, interrupting him to sometimes further elaborate.
Unfortunately that was the exception.
Instead of going through all that time with the Circuit City idiots, you could also have just returned the merchandise and then informed your credit card company. They would not have charged you for the bill and so informed Circuit City.
I have had to do this myself a couple of times. The bank that issued my credit card was happy to do this for me after a brief explanation. They told me basically that the venders dont want to get in a pissing contest with the banks over something like this.
My time spent and irritation was minimal.
Amazing. Sometimes the system does work.
Thank you for your courtesy.
I am impressed. Man this is what amatuer radio licencees should be doing.
Was not enthused with WiFi because of it's sensitive wave band and ease of hacking. Now I am going to look into it further. The SSH program/protocal might provide the necessary security from penetrators, as I am sure you already know.
Good Luck on 300 miles:P
Unable to access the technical details link in the post, and therefore have many questions about this transmission. Please allow for my ignorance if some of these questions seem stupid.
Was this transmission digital or analogue? Did you use the alloted WiFi wavelength? My understanding is the wavelength for WiFi is very very sensitive to natural and manmade conditions. Noticed your picture showed a reltively clear sky. If the transmission was done on a rainy or other inclement day would the transmission still have been possable with the wavelength you used? Do the attennas make all the difference to these questions?
Needless to say after knowing more technical details, would probably have more questions.
Glad amateur radio is involved in these projects. Incidentally have an extra class license myself
By the way one other question. What was transmitted and what was it's mode? I mean, was it what would regularly be done on a WiFi net with a WiFi mode? Or did you use something like psk31? Again sorry if these questions may seem dumb.
