then, kids's pc's were very primitive and modems were rare as hens teeth. I had built an Altair 8800 in high school and was quite inspired by the droids;) It really spurred on the quest for artificial intelligence in 8080 assembly code.
"In the United States, the general guidelines to follow when using a radio scanner are that it is illegal to: listen in on cellular and cordless phone calls".
That generally used to be the case with some limits ( such as profiting from intercepted communications ) but the ECPA of 1986, backed by the cell phone industry, made it illegal to intercept communications intended to be private and also made it illegal to sell equipment capable of picking up certain frequencies.
Hopefully there will be a wine version/config for it. I just got WoW to run on linux/wine and it is perfect (to my standards), with a specially crafted Config.wtf file.
...annnnd coming around the halfway mark it's McAfee SiteAdvisor edging out Canonical Ubuntu 7.04 by a length with Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite hot on their tail. Pioneer Elite 1080p PRO-FHD1 is neck-and-neck with RIM Blackberry 8800 but wait... Apple Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" is coming up strong on the outside turn passing Adobe Premiere Elements 3.
The 'videophone' has a part of the future since 1927 (Metropolis) and has come up in countless visions of the future (ATT exhibit at 1964 World Fair) but for one problem: mass customers just don't seem to want or need it. We had videoconferencing at my last workplace - so you get to see a funky image of the big boss as he speaks, big deal. Might as well let us tele-smell his cologne for all it added to the conference.
So it's the schoolyard bully trying to bolster his public image with, "I *could* beat you up but hey, I'm such a nice guy I'll let you go - this time. But you *better* have you lunch money tomorrow, punk!".
not really - I have Edison cylinder recordings from ~1900 with copyright and warnings about the dire consequences of unauthorized duplication on them. No matter what you guys think, artists, especially those with a big investment in their work, will want to get paid or at least break even. Most likely in the future, the freebie-grubbers will have a large public pool of newbie and hack work to wallow in, while the serious artworks will only be available to a select limited audience who isn't afraid to pony up the price of admission without shouting about how it's their natural born right to infringe on others' creative rights.
Msft would have been the cult underdog back in the day when IBM ruled the business world, when PC's first made inroads into the business world and DOS was the defacto OS to run on them. Now that Msft has paradigm-shifted themselved into the IBM position the cult has become the mainstream, and thus ceased to be a 'cult' by definition.
Its impossible for me to be reading on the World Wide Web about the James Webb space telescope to replace the Edwin Hubble 'scope without thinking about Webster Hubble from the Clinton years.
Is it mere coincidence that the Hubble 'scope was launched a few years before the Web was created, and here this guy named "Web Hubble" pops up in the public eye?
Slashdot Mirror
Well, there's this.
Isn't that the magazine that, in the 50's, said we'd all be using flying cars by the turn of the century?
for some geek student to hack in and stalk a cute target.
So why don't they just have a government program where the entire country buys one DVD of every movie and post a bittorrent for it?

I'll just stick with watching old episodes of "Welcome Back Kotter"
I can set up a radio receiver and pick up whatever happens to be in the air
Not according to , where it says:

we still haven't found the 216 digit number which holds the key to stock market prices and the Torah.

It's the mythical place where people have been emptying their bit buckets for years.
Then he could finally tell us if Booth acted alone or if there was another gunman shooting from the refreshment stand.

Just wait a bit and they'll all be available in big bittorrent bundles for free.
If everyone just buys one and we pool them, we can save a lot. You know it's going to happen to at least 25% of all instances.
And there's coal there too, thus proving that dinosaurs drove SUV's.
Actually, from MICROSOFT you can spell:
SCO TO FIRM
SCO FROM IT
SCO OF TRIM
and permutations thereof.

the uniformed slashdot readers of the world
There's a slashdot uniform? Where do I get one? What is it, some kind of green jumpsuit with special insignia on it?
Even more offtopic, isn't it funny how people rediscover old ideas and think it's something new.
That would be Gerry and the Pacemakers
