It seems like anyone offering valid research would publish to a.kids domain. There's no reason not to. And if all you have to do is remove a couple of graphic pictures and replace them with more general stuff, oh well.
Publishers don't really mind having more avenues to get their print to market.
We Americans enjoy a tighter grasp on our government, who is responsible to us every day, not simply at election time. For that reason, we Americans have a whole bunch of things to vote for when it comes around to election time, not the one parlimentary representative, but a slew of legislators to local, state and federal government as well as referendums, bond proposals, and other such ballot initiatives. Sure, the Canadian way is much more simple. But that's only because simple people require simple procedures.
I was going to try to establish a distinction between suffering and death, but that seemed elementary. It's an interesting thought, however, that because an animal has died in becoming the food of another animal he has in no small part suffered. But what of the bees who make the honey? And why can't we convince the Alligators that they can live in peace with the Buffalo?
What seems more likely is that the merger rumors are NOT true, given that iLegal (Apple's new legal department, due out next spring) hasn't pressed Drudge to remove them. Apparently only the rumors that have basis in fact are dangerous. Hey Apple, isn't truth a bitch?
I just bought a Ronco food dehydrater. And then I put a frog in it. That was pretty neat.
Wouldn't it be a great idea, if, when you hear about these types of hearings you took an active role as a technology advoacate to go to the hill and preach some gospel? Andover's got the money to fly you there, I'd bet. The LAST thing we need is Chuck D presenting OUR arguements about technology. Let him speak about music, and its industry. Let us speak about ours.
The bill says "adopts and enforces a policy to restrict...". The key word is policy. Nowhere does it say filter, what it says is enforce a policy. Obviously, the libraries will run filters, but they don't have to. They could abide by the lay simply by enforcing a "policy". So should we continue the cause to educate the library boards and parents on good net behavior and attitude, or should we continue to cuss and spit at them? I think maybe the educate thing will work a little better. Jake
Some clarifications. There is no Linux OS packager that is a member of the TPC, true, but that doesn't limit the offering. Dell, Compaq, and IBM are all suppliers of systems for comparison to the TPC, and they either haven't put anything forth, or haven't put anything forth of any great shakes. As for membership costing money, where were you when Red Hat had one of the most successful IPO's in history or when the received over $40mil in capital investments from companies like Compaq and Dell? They're not a member of the TPC because it's a wasted investment based on the fact that any system they put forth doesn't scale well enough to appear on the horizon. In the future, maybe, but right now Linux won't cluster very well between 16 6-processor machines. Sorry, but "spin" won't help you here. Jake
> It's a price for performance... no linux system??
Actually, the link supplied isn't price/performance, it's flat performance. That's what makes it especially relevant. And if you'd care to look at the numbers, this $4mil Compaq/Microsoft box is chunking nearly two-thirds more transactions per minute than the drastically more expensive IBM and Sun servers located down the line. Oh, and this is an independent scientifically audited benchmarking site, so this ain't no FUD. And to specifically answer your question, if SMP under Linux and MySQL worked at all well, you'd see them on the other list, here where the list is not blanketed by performance, but rather by price. Eat your heart out.
Given Quicktime's bent to associate itself with every known media type upon installation, and pervasion throughout the system after installation in windows, are we not asking for trouble? I'm pretty sure there's a better product to ask to go OSS with, maybe shockwave?
I, uh, used to work for AT&T in the AUP enforcement group. It was a tough job. Anyhoo, occasionally we would have some ass we were about to cut off claim we were violating our own AUP. The AUP says "users may not interfere with other's use of the interent". By cutting off spammers we would be interfering with their use. Our response was simply this, as the maintainer and operator of the service, we are not held to the AUP. Only our subscribers are.
Back when Guggenheim invented the press, everyone was dying to get their hands on the hip new media. They still are. Chock it up to the stupidity of people and their quest to hold in their hand that which they perceive as valuable.

Excepting of course he was in a different state and his friend, Nate, burned his house down. Or are you too busy to read for comprehension?
