Hey, I'm not saying EVERYONE should live forever. I think we should have a lottery system, and I think I should be preapproved for coming up with the idea.
Asparagas is great and all... no really. But any possibility of any other veggies that can grow up there??? What makes asparagas different from other vegetables?
Well I think the difference is the the US and British gov't stand for the ideals of freedom. I don't think freedom is something that exists... I think it's something we have to work towards. Sometimes we're not always as close as we'd like, but the ideals are still there. China has no interest and no desire for freedom of any kind. Ironically, they don't even like free software. China seems to work on the premise that if you block enough information for the outside people will begin to think they have it better than the rest of the world, and maybe they do... but I doubt it.
Or, all it means is that criminals carry guns in the expectation that their victims will also. OR maybe it means that criminals just get better guns. They don't care about the law, so they might as well carry around automatic weapons... but i'm sure your hand gun will protect you.... definitly... right.
Sir, you are dead on. Just to add a little bit, I feel as though colleges have become far to lenient with who they are letting in. The standards have dropped much lower because it's becoming nearly impossible to find decent work without a B.S. in something. Colleges need to raise their standards. There are simply far too many areas of study where doing the bare minimum will afford you a decent grade. It almost seems that you need to go on with your education anymore to learn anything useful.
True, but in defense of Windows (wow.. did I just say that?), I've never had to compile anything from source nor do you have to use any kind of command line instructions (unless you want to... Ironically I always find myself using Linux commands by mistake). Installations are pretty intuitive in Windows.
The software repositories are nice in Linux, but I'd wonder how many people would realize they were there, assuming they were new, inexperienced users. I've always thought it would be great idea for Windows to provide something comparable. Might help limit the amount malware people get.
Lastly, you make the argument that Linux comes with those programs out of the box. Actually, you said Ubuntu comes with those programs. It seems to me, most Linux distro's only come with the bare necessities (Browser, Productivity Software, Media Player, Etc.). Windows typically has all of these, PLUS a bunch of crap you'll never need, use, or want.
If addresses were statically assigned to one person yes. But they aren't. I use one address at work, one address at home. Most people probably do. Then consider how many addresses are being used to the billions of servers floating out there. Considering all of this, it's amazing they've been able to stretch v4 so far with NAT and other techniques.
Wired says, 'In taking these photos, Paglen is trying to draw a metaphorical connection between modern government secrecy and the doctrine of the Catholic Church in Galileo's time.'" That's funny... I thought he was trying to draw a literal connection between himself and Guantanamo Bay.
"Upon completion and settlement I will walk out of my home for the last time in just the clothes I am wearing, and carrying only my wallet and passport." I think I'd be a jerk if I was him and not do laundry or dishes for a month.
I'm a little taken back by the fact that people find this suprising. Most businesses that are entrenched in MS probably want to review the changes that are being made to make sure that it complies with their future business direction. The DOJ is one such entity that is simply far too entrenched in MS to think about using something else. Therefore, they have a pretty big interest in Windows 7. Not suprising... not suprising at all.
As much as I hate Murdoch and all he stands for. Here's a list of everything thats wrong with your post:
He promotes big, lovely government, and he was paid well by the Powers that Be. You have proof of this? Somebody actually paid him for his investments, or he just got stinking rich off of them?
MySpace, though, is the anti-thesis of government. It's about freedom. People don't necessarily realize that, but that's the end result from allowing people to freely communicate, gather and entertain. You really think people stopped using MySpace because of their corporate ties. I'm sure some did, but most probably just hated their clunky Web 1.0 design. An easier explanation is something else moved into the market and took over. Somehow, someway, Facebook has a better product. MySpace needs to reinvent itself to compete. Freedom has nothing to do with it. The average person simply does not invest that much time into examining which company owns which - otherwise those counter-culture morons hanging out in front of Hot Topic in the mall would realize they are wearing cloths that are produced by Gap or American Eagle (not sure which??).
Murdoch overpaid for something that can probably never make a reasonable profit. ... Ummm... advertising? ever heard of it?
The future of the web is not about large-scale sites dominating over tiny ones. It's the whole long tail situation: the big sites are mere portals to other sites, and the sites that fail to do this properly will be hurt significantly by trying to be the big boy on campus. Those who made money by being shills for the State will also suffer (Fox, MSNBC, CNN, etc). Here... you're totally wrong. The future of the web is services. Who can provide the better services. Simple as that. And the "big boys" aren't being hurt as much as you might think for the little guys in this area... nope... not at all... not even close. Fox News provides a service that, albeit, is slanted. But it provides it's slanted views to a group willing to hear a slanted version of the truth. Every news source does that... digg included.
You failed Rupert. Go away. Failed in the long term yes... but still probably turned one hell of a profit. I'm sure he'll be mourning as he counts his billions. Please, think before you post. I'm not sure who modded this up... but this simply isn't true. Maybe it should be, but it's not.
A games industry campaign group has warned the UK is falling behind on coding skills because university courses are not up to scratch. Falling behind who? The US? I personally don't think the stuff being taught at US schools is not "up to scratch".
I usually don't care to be argumentative... but thats dumbest thing I've ever heard. Encrypting a message isn't an admission of guilt at all. it just means you don't want anyone to read it. Key word: anyone. It's the same reason you use SSH to connect to a server instead of telnet - plain text messages with password information, credit card statements, etc are not secure without some level of encryption. I apologize for my rude introduction to this post, but I'm just getting so sick of people getting modded up just on the premise that they are overly paranoid with their 5 year outlooks.
So it's not entirely unreasonable for console manufacturers to be taking this attitude. Should you be allowed to do whatever you want with your own hardware? Yes, but the hardware manufacturer has no obligation to make it easy for you. Agreed, but if the new software patch adds nothing to the system other than stopping attempts to run this "malicious" code, it adds no value for the end user. If this is the case, they are actually bloating systems with unnecessary code, in order to stop a "problem" that exists in less than 1% of machines. The hardware manufacturer has no obligation to make it easy for you, but they should have no reason to make it intentionally difficult. If you brick your machine, IMO, it's your fault.
On June 11, 2008 GamePlasma, a gaming news site, posted an article showing certain places in Limbo of the Lost were identical to the game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.[7] After the revelation, others looking into the game discovered environments and features that appeared to be taken from the games The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Unreal Tournament 2004, Unreal Tournament 2003, Diablo II, Thief: The Dark Project, Thief: Deadly Shadows, a CryENGINE2 Tech Demo, Silent Hill 4: The Room[citation needed], Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Painkiller, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth, Hexen and World of Warcraft.[8][9] Other scenes appear to be taken from live action films: one from the 1997 film Spawn, another from Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl and several more from Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. [10][11] and level design from enclave[citation needed]. The game also contains footage from Sea Dogs[12][13] Wow... at least they have decent taste in games.

I, for one, hope the reform social security before ANY OF THIS HAPPENS. No way I'm working when I'm 174.
Fear leads to anger
Anger leads to hate
Hate leads to the DARK SIDE Couldn't help it... Isn't that from Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic?
Who modded this informative? Whoever it is must've been smokin' some of that martian pot!

Sir, you are dead on. Just to add a little bit, I feel as though colleges have become far to lenient with who they are letting in. The standards have dropped much lower because it's becoming nearly impossible to find decent work without a B.S. in something. Colleges need to raise their standards. There are simply far too many areas of study where doing the bare minimum will afford you a decent grade. It almost seems that you need to go on with your education anymore to learn anything useful.

Are you sure iPhone 3G has GPS? I know my iPod Touch determines my location based on IP... I think.

China is denying a report... in a paper they own... something seems strange here.

Looks just like Oblivion...
