Last night's edition of "Nightly Business Report" was saying just the opposite, that the Internet's effect if pretty minimal overall and the biggest results come from good ol' rallys, picnics and door to door volunteers talking to everyday people in the street. Web sites could be rallying points for the jacked-in crowd, but the vast majority it's still just AOL/MSN, pop-ups and spam, with a few emailed photos from relatives and offspring at college. However, NBR was emphasizing personalized, point-casting the message toward individuals over the mass media network broadcasting as a winning strategy.
RH or Novell could step up to the plate with a transition plan for SCO shops about to be orphaned - something like "Are you tired of your software vendor spending more time in court than addressing your issues? It's time to switch. Call for our free migration plan."

dont be too suprised to see an IPv6 / RFID convergence - in The Future® those little tags will not only tell who they are, but where they've been and what you've done with them.
aside from the "fun factor", is there any real point to doing it?
education, learning, exploring; tackling a challenge and the resulting sense of accomplishment (when it works); fighting back against 'the man' who would use technology for customer control. Hackers who know how things work make better shoppers who can cut thru marketing bullcrap, thus contributing to a more efficient and honest capitalist marketplace, promoting freedom and the persuit of happiness throughout the universe.
Some of the worlds greatest inventors, like Tesla, Edison, Watt, Volt, Amp, Henry and Ohm were hackers who enjoyed experimenting with consumer products to see if they could be made to do things prohibited by law.
one benefit - an instructor or gym leader will no longer have to do 'roll call', they just check the pc for the door scanner. Here's an Excel spreadsheet of everyone who walked thru the door in the last 10 minutes. Wait, where's Keiko? Ah, she never left the previous classroom.
But that won't stop anybody (unless your a shrimper). The market works out toward the greatest effeciency, so this is just saying open source is the most effecient method of writing software. The jobs lost will just have to find other more meaningful and relevant work.
read the link - they were designed to only operate with the disabled chip in place, in essence, you paid for two chip and were only using one. Yes it was deceptive. The users beleived they had a cpu and a seperate expensive add-on doing the math. In reality they had one chip that HAD to be there disabled and doing nothing so it couldn't be used on another motherboard.
I guess you've never heard of the 487 math co-processor deception, quote, "In a real marketing coup, uninformed computer users did not know that they purchased and installed the much more powerful 486DX microprocessor in their computers."
True story: a former supervisor took a Sony Mavica (uses a dos fmt floppy disk) onboard a ship with Soviet missles where he should not have and took pictures of them. When the rent-a-cop spotted this he asked that the pictures be deleted. My super handed me the disk and we did the old dos 'undelete' trick with Norton Utilitues and got the pictures back, no problem;) This was after '96.
Slashdot Mirror
if the consumer pushes the right buttons it gets a piece of cheese! Squeak!
So it's all kind of like the old TV show "Get Smart", where Max and 99 work for CONTROL and the bad guys are K.A.O.S.
try these for a full Apollo 11 & 17 panoramas

don't know if it qualifies as 'zero G' during the free fall phase tho, considering wind resistance.

maybe if you combine it with two other sports - swim 500 yards, solve a diffferential equation, then pick up a rifle and hit a target.
what can you do after you invent the web? How can you top that?
Maybe they can get Chuck Yaeger out of retirement to give it a whirl.
as soon as we evolve humans that can withstand 70g's
It might work for FedEx "Next Hour" intercontinental delivery tho.

handy for turning services on/off and setting what runs at what runlevel. Thanks SGI.

So I guess Clinton's intern Monica was willing AND able.
How long is it going to be before some big mainstream press picks these recursive stories up and starts recommending people try another web browser?
Probably sometime after they pump Msft stock up to more than what they paid for it.

Looks like broadband isn't for everyone - but wait, there's a rebuttal!
so is voip going to turn into something like the email spam mess once the peddlers of Mydixaflopin and their cronies start figuring out how to use it?
If there's a robot to empty bed-pans or colostomy bags, I don't think anybody would mind giving up that job.
That's why I got the subdermal implant with 16mb flash and bluetooth. Just copy data to my stomach and walk out, search all you want.
