That was the whole article -- full of weaponisation possibilities... action shots of the joke in close combat with the enemy, lighting fast and unbelievably lethal action from quick-lipped soldiers. That peanut joke tho... that almost got me.
A software buy-back co-op.

In my town there used to be a co-op that you could join for a yearly fee of $50 or so. In exchange, you could buy and sell games and apps all year long at no loss. You could keep the game/app for as long as you liked, and sell it back for the same price whenever you were sick of it.
Either one is implicitly copyrighted when it is published on a web server, and it both cases, barring situations where the access to the website itself is restricted, it is also implicitly licensed for copying by client side programs. On top of this, robots.txt can still apply just fine in this case, and any robot "violating" a robot directive not to download images would create a more complicated situation -- but the issue as it stands is really quite cut and dry.
It's just a bunch of people wanting to raise a big hooplah and creating a big stink about the bandwidth consumption problem that this poses.
Classified rotating weaponry. Hmmm That must be where those weeks of engineering (which by the way are counted in the total cost of manufacture) come into play.
Sex and technology just plain go together. Videos, Cdrom's, DVD's, and the internet itself have all had their substantial infusion of cash flow from the porn market. And when people get bored with the idea of having sex in 0 g's we can start promoting sex on the moon -- acrobatic sex with only a fraction of the earth's gravity.
How will this help the rest of us, the masses that don't use motorola technology? (especially when you consider the patent stuff) From what I can see, if motorola can make cheaper chips, those that don't want to use their technology will have to pay a higher premium for their chips until someone comes up with yet another (patented?) method to make things cheaper/faster.
Eeek!! and that's not even the worst of it! First, LAN isn't even a standard feature. Second, this puppy comes preinstalled with "Caldera Openlinux", later on referred to in the article as "Corel Openlinux". <shudder/> Which is worse, the laptop being reviewed or the half-assed job of reviewing it?
In our nation's capital this week: Blood donors, at risk of being "outsourced" protested on capital hill by slashing their wrists in an apparent attempt at a mass suicide. One of the protesters was overheard to have said "if there ain't no reason for giving, there ain't no reason for living" and "auuuugh I'm dying -- help!".
Just think! We'd have yet another registrar for the Personal Name system! You'd have to coordinate it with vital statistics, and for those too poor to get their own personal name, we'd let them use a sub-personal name for free. Oh meegosh.
M$ has it's name added to the front of a ton of their apps. This doesn't help make a case in favor of it nor against it, but it does show us one possible way of doing things. Instead of Knotes, why not call it "K" notes, "K" word, "K" calc, "K" mail, etc. That way if you actually _need_ to specify that it's a KDE app, you include the K, and if you don't you just omit the K.
If you can't get yourself to conjure up a good mirage, you can always download one from the net! You could also spend your last few moments of (in)sanity rewriting your will, naming whoever ran off with your girlfriend and left you in the middle of the Sahara.
Time Warner is a copyright cop in their own right... it's more like "When copyright cops join forces" rather than a general indication of how ISP's operate.
What I see in this article, the constant references to web services learning from P2P and vice-versa, is already realized in SOAP. We've just got to harness it.
This sort of thing only comes about as a result of our ever deteriorating ability to use written words to effectively communicate. Instead of adding to the language we currently use, we should learn to use what we have more effectively.
Think of Shakespeare! He had way less words to work with than we do now, yet no amount of human markup language can hold a candle to the richness of content presented in his tragedies.
I shudder to think of how the graduating class of every subsequent year is more illiterate than the one before it.
Either that or it was just another result of a shockwave emitted by the collision between mac happy users and the unix tao of old. I suspect the DB wipeout to be just as much a victim of this as your karma. May OS-X live long and shake the foundations of computerdom for many years to come.
Well, Martian lovers everywhere will now have new evidence to point to when it comes to "life on Mars"... Roads wide enough to accomodate a small house, are subtly but surely impressed all over the planet's surface.
Or, if there really was anything to learn from the arrangement of the planet's surface, we'd be compromising the integrity of the research by plowing it all over (however gently we may do it with this massive lightweight ball)
I"m gonna make up an even better story with even less sketchy details about what I actually did and what the cops charged me with, leaving very clear info on how to help donate money to my cause.
For all of those tempted to donate money, make sure you check out the story first!
The problem with frequent kernel releases

2.4.9 Kernel Released
·
· Score: 1, Interesting
With longer gaps between kernel releases, people can write apps that interact with the kernel and actually have a reasonable expectation that they won't spend the majority of their time trying to update their code to work with the most recent version of the kernel. People who just want bug fix patches should be able to get just that, leaving the added features,etc which will invariably introduce new bugs to be introduced on the next release cycle. The debian distribution system would be perfectly suited for this concept, and would pretty much do away with the need for a "development" branch of the kernel.

I can't wait for the book! It'll be filled with commentary equally lacking in technical details, written by a mildly deluded harvard graduate.

It's amazing what a little "alcohol lubrication" can do to speed up the production line!
