I have a little problem with the logistics here. I can understand why every page is being sent to 2 people for proof reading in an effort to eliminate errors, but the problem arises that these arent 2 computers doing simple computations, if both of these people have different versions of a corrected page, as im sure they will. what happenes then? who does the final proof reading, and if there is someone doing the final proof reading that kinda eliminates the need for the distributed part. I could almost guarentee that any 2 people checking the same full page of data in their free time will find/create different errors. I hope I'm missing some large concept here, becouse i do love PG, they keep my palm stacked with good reading for free.
yes that huge barrier could have something to do with if it were destoyed on the space side it very well may end up wrapping around the planet wich would kill thousands and massively change the landscape, alot like what happened in kim stanley robinson's blue mars if you will
ya see the difference is that this was intentional. and is (kinda) a feature. not something that is added or modded, or something that is just a defect in a shitty car
I agree completely i was dissapointed, there are tons of 'build your own box' sites out there, damnit i want to build a sub just for the hell of it, hmm.. well there was that whole useing hard drives as speakers article... maybe a couple of those 5.25 scsi fullheigh platters would make some decent base....
"tools like dreamweaver and such helpful in HTML"
i dont, personally i find the most efficient way,being as i do it everyday as a job, is simply to do it with notepad, useing programs like dreamweaver jsut complicate things.
first of all, What makes you think that:
a) becouse something is synthetic it will fuck you up?
b)just becouse something is natural that it won't?
Second of all, codine is an opiate. and opium is just a derivative of the popy plant, which would make it natural also.

a) becouse something is synthetic it will fuck up your brian?
b) just becouse something is natural that is wont?
Secound of all, codine is an opiate. and opium is just a derivative of the popy plant, which would make codine natural also.
The other problem, of course, being that the real process of governing is just not fun
maybe you havent noticed but, all of those games are boreing, it would fit right in
'Yes, but a 6 year old with no computing experience, with OS X, can compute circles around a 6 year old using your OS'
but if said 6 yearold were useing bsd they would be learning to use a computer, while if they were useing your osX they would be learning to point and click. I mean where would i be if I wasnt messin around with dos when I was 6.
does this seem odd to anyone else, they make a big deal about it being 'uncompressed' so it wont be as easy to trade over the net' but I have never seen the.vobs from dvd being traded or any raw format ( with the exception of vcd's) its always encoded by the person who rips it to mpeg, divx, svcd or what ever your choice of codec's is. I understand the problems posed by the chips only being in the hdtv's but what stops some one from removeing the chip and figuring out how to decode and then its just a repeat of the decss incedent. if hollywood wants to win this they need to get there shit together, till then I have no problem getting my movies for free:)

"Before I start...the mini-series was visually stunning.
It was a real treat to see modern special effects applied to Herbert's classic. That said, I think that the agenda for making this movie must have gone something like this:
"
are you on some kind of mind altering drugs(not that I have anything against them), the visual effects were incredibly crappy, the only thing that made it good was the story, I enjoyed the series over all, I didnt like the changes, such as the birth of only leto II and not his sister. also, I was hopeing for a continuation onto the other books also but that may be hard without his sister or at least they will have to rewrite some of franks shit, (which I dont think they could do justice too).but back to the subject at hand the effects were crap, the backgrounds on soo many scenes looked like they were painted there, the worms looked like 80's cgi, nto to mention the muad-dib looked like a disney charector. over all the acting was ok, cept for I realy hated the guild reps and the emporor.
also salsa was never transformed into a paradise world, hence I beleave it was the 3rd book when the tigers were trained there, it was still a desert wasteland.
get a palm pilot, fitis in you packet instant on bookmarking all that good stuff I bring one to school and read books from gutenberg.net all the time:)

'Look at the performance difference between the Pentium IV with 256K and with 512K (a doubling) of cache'
ya but see they are talking about level1, not level2 cache.

Who is going to run the show 24/7? The Saturday morning 5-7 AM shift is real drag, I can guarantee you that.
I think that was the point of the playlist.
