Evolution is guided. As Darwin envisioned it evolution was guided by survival of the fittest, guiding towards efficiency. At the very least it is guided by physics and chemistry.
"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." C.S. Lewis would disagree with you.
I don't know, I think it is fine how it is. You have Fedora Core for testing and for more desktop type use (things get updated faster) and if you don't want to pay for Red Hat then you can always go with Cent OS.
Because I lied to save myself a little embaressment, but I guess that didn't work:P. It was actually a work vehicle, and the key wasn't in the car, but most likely somewhere in a one mile stretch of ditch.
I'm always amazed by the tricks car workers and car theifs know. It just goes to prove that saying "locks keep an honest man honest", or however that goes. Once I locked my keys in my car just outside of Detroit. I found a guy to help me out in the yellow pages, who happened to be a recently laid off autoworker, in about 3 minutes he had my entire door panel off and actually took the lock out of the door to make a new key, and I was given a new working key within 10 minutes of him arriving.
Bull shit right there. I read that and stopped reading your post. Founding fathers (you know, the guys who wrote the document) couldn't even agree on the meaning, so how the hell is it pretty clear?
I HIGHLY doubt we will ever see encryption made illegal, but it will remain legal for the wrong reason: to prevent corporate espionage. Corporate America will use their senators to make sure their trade secrets remain secret.
Photorealism has happened in games, just they are encoded video files and not rendered. When it comes to rendered work, I still have yet to see anything pass the "uncanny vally" for humans, so I highly doubt anything in this generation of consoles will. The most realistic games I can recall off the top of my head are Shenmu(sp?) for Dreamcast and Resident Evil 4 for Gamecube, niether of which have the power of the PS2, X-Box, or 360. As for controlling fighters, remember the remote can be used as a standard controller, and you can use Gamecube controllers (Gamecube has some pretty fun fighters on it too, like Super Smash Brothers and Soul Calibur 2).
The spirit you find here for Sony is that which once existed for Sega... Sony is asking to lose the lead. I am pretty sure they will get what they ask for. I just hope after they fail Sony pulls up like Nintendo after the N64, instead of sinking like Sega, for compitition is a good thing.
With all the NSFW links, goatse trolls, GNAA trolls, trolls in general, FUD, and slaughtering of the Queen's English that goes on here you are damn right minors don't belong here.;)
I would much rather see how the Newton stacks up against an oqo, a Nokia 770, or a palm device. I have been really thinking of getting a Nokia 770, when a few more apps get ported to the new OS I might pick one up.
Are you sure about this certificate authority? Last I looked at it the only interactions with other computers was when you choose to interact, in which case it will give a hash of your operating system and all your programs so the other computer can choose if and how to interact with you (for example if you are running a port sniffer they probably won't allow any connection). The last time I looked at it the biggest worry was from the ISP, not the software companies.
Why would the British, Iraqi, and other foreign armies be fighting for establishment of an America Empire? And this wasn't a "daddy had a war, I want one too"; this has been in conservative republican think tanks since before Bush took office. The flogged to death comment was spot on, how is it bad here? You have no repercussions on criticizing the Bush administration, military officials, or anyone (as long as you don't stray into libel, slander, or threats).
Routers normally don't allow administrative access through the wireless interface.
You obviously haven't lived in a dorm recently. We did this to a kid in my hall before, we'll call him Steve. Steve had a Netgear wireless access point he used for his laptop. One day he booted up his laptop to find it connected to "Steve is gay". Next week he found himself connected to "Steve has a vagina". Next week it was "Connect here for hardcore gay porn starring Steve". We never messed much with any other settings really (didn't want to interfere with school work, just wanted harmless pranks) but the hall was always amused to see what the name of Steve's access point would be week to week.
Excuse me?Is it the united nations that is politicized? Yes. Bureaucratic? HELL YES. Does the United Nations always act in their own interest? Yes. Does the United Nations have hidden agendas? Of course, don't you know of the Freemason/Illuminati/majestic7 plot of using the UN for world domination? Does the United Nations pressure poor countries to raise votes in favor of a specific country? I'm not sure on this one, I'll have to look into it. Is the United Nations responsible for failures that occur when certain member nations does everything in it's power to slander, ridicule and disrupt? Yes (just like I would say any legislative body is responsible for failures resulting from behaviors of its members).
P.S. Google Spellchecker corrects Freemason, Illuminati, and majestic7. Okay, I need to go put my tinfoil hat back on.
these computers' greatest benefit would be to kids who can't even go to school, connecting them to information and learning materials.
But how do you teach those students to read and use the thing? If they don't have the infrastructure available for education they aren't going to have the infrastructure for training and distribution. If it isn't an infrastructure problem keeping the kid from school I doubt you'll have any luck with them using this device for educational purposes.
If there weren't porn sites that put these tags in it wouldn't be legislation. The porn sites in question don't give a shit about credit cards, they car about page views, spamming you with ads, and drive-by spy-ware/ad-ware installs. Also, I don't know any kids who search for knitwork or farm, and even more I don't know any who would use Usenet as a place to look. When using Google searching for farm, farm pictures, barnyard, or barnyard pictures doesn't give any inappropriate results, and no inappropriate pictures for the 10 pages of results I browsed through (with safe-search off, which shouldn't be the case with children).
I'm not too sure on that, as it seems everyone I know at community colleges uses myspace, and there are a lot of community colleges. You are dead on for any college of substantial size or standing though.
Don't call it genuine intelligence, that is just annoying. Algorithmic or synthetic I will except, but not genuine. Personally I think artificial works perfectly well, for if you look in the American Heritage definition one "a" is: Made by humans; produced rather than natural.

I thought this was funny at first. Then I saw your livejournal link...

As long as you send the newly compiled program hash to the TPM chip it should be trusted.

I never said that it is an epidemic or a widespread problem, just that it happens.

Well one the disciples of Christ was a tax collector, so I think God could find a lawyer. Now if Christ wasn't the messiah we may be screwed...
Can you give me a refrence to Banias? I can't find that one anywhere in America.
