It is only because so many places do not have life, that this small possibility gets people excited. I really don't know why people are so excited. This doesn't prove anything, it just isn't a disproof. Find me a planet with Internet access, and then we'll talk about signs of life.
Oh come on, everyone knows that Java running under Bash is slow. But when bash is running on Linux it's faster than everything else. In fact, it'd be so fast, it'll finish compiling even before you finish writing the code.
What we're all waiting for is the JVM in E-macs. That'll be the day.:-)

Many times I have gone to a store such as Best Buy or some local computer shop and here the guy behind the counter say "well, you need this", or "you should upgrade", or "we'll have to let the techies look at it for $xxxx an hr". So many times I wan to scream out at them, or at least inform the poor customer what the *real* options are. Or how easy it is to copy from one HD to another. In the end, I realize that support is a big thing. Should something go wrong, the store must answer, and so many people want that. So, unless I know somebody wants to work a bit on their own, I bite my tounge and don't say a word. It's better to stay out of it.

Things are gradual, and the actual line between when something is an invasion of privacy is thin and hard to find. I believe it better for them to make a ruckus now, than to wait for a real issue to arise.
Besides, even if they don't stop it, school or otherwise, will be very careful before taking a second step.

Does this mean that people can go to Mars too given the short duration? Come to think of it, if something lands on Mars could it blast off like on the moon, or would it need a whole big setup like when it takes off on Earth?
Besides the TOS, the service itself is excellent. Or at least mine is. The tech support was actually able to answer questions intelligently. I'm not sure I agree with the TOS, but I bought it as a present for someone who wouldn't really care too much, so overall I'm pretty happy.
Yes. I've seen it run a a PentiumPro 200. Yeah, I know it's a bit better, but Linux will run it just fine, especially NT. It's really memory that you need to dedicate.
Who said Santa is one man anyway? There's at least one Santa for every hundred stores. That would bring down the amount of visits considerably, per santa. Besides, look at all the places that do their own delivery. I'd bet Santa hires UPS or the like just to ease the load.
but it wasn't actually introduced until the 10th Century AD
I beleieve fifth century. It was introduced by Rava (the second famous one). Had it been introduced as late as the tenth century, it would have been very hard to get all Jews to use it, as by that time they mostly had left Babylonia and settled in many areas of the world.
was introduced in the 6th Century AD. All dates prior to that (pre 6th century) would have been measured using the Roman calender (Epoch Date - Founding of Rome).
I thought it was done based on documents of kings i.e. a letter "In the third yeard of King...", which would have made the calender suseptible to much inaccuracy. It may be better to state 'was started in the 6th Century AD'

13 Month Calendar?

· Score: 1
Lunar, 28 day months, add a month every 17 few years. It's worked for 5761 years
29 or 30 day months, add a month in years 3,6,8,9,12,14,17, 19, of each 19 years cycle, and two days every years are flexible. It (this set calender) has been in us for approximately 1500 years and is a day off, as it was only intended to be used for one millenium.
I did read the article, or rather, I skimmed it. Between that and the way I read the post here, I misread. It was a mistake. Either way, I still hold by the basic principle.
Is it really that bad? Free pages and storage. They're not taking away anything from you, just saying what you put here is public. It is true to Yahoo's non-caring for anybody's rights, but it was in the license agreement. Is it really wrong per se?
Isn't this a perfect case for NeoPets to use Neomail.com and him to use Neomail.org? They're both taken, I have no idea who owns what, but isn't that what.com and.org are all about. Even if they are not honored as such in commercial practice.
I don't remember what it was, but years ago they had cards with various constellations, and when to look for what, with explanations and all that. It was really nice for me. I wish I could remember where it was from. They sent a free sample but wanted you to buy more.
Why don't they just assign everyone a URL? Area Codes mean a little, in that you know what it is for people who live around you, but they seem to change so quickly. Besides, without area codes, the phone company will have to figure out a different way to charge per minute for what in actuality are local calls.
therefore T1 is only 30 times faster than dial-up.
Yes, about. Though 56k downloads are restricted to 53k, at least in the US, and that is only for downloads, uploads are still at 33.6. A T1 is up and down ~190k. Cable is even faster than that, but again, the upload is usually severly limited.
I was supporting brokers, using NT. I needed the guy to do something with Explorer, but that was blocked on his system. So, I had him go into Internet Explorer, and bring up the view of cached files. My manager then screamed at me for letting the guy no "too much". I think she was just angry in that I knew more than she did, and that terrified her.
A T1 is 1.544 megabit raw data. To get bytes, divide by 8. 1,544,000 / 8 = 193000. Not all can be used for data, as packets must be created. This does not rule out compression, which can get you more data, once uncompressed. But the actual flow is around 190k.
To get a 50 meg file in two minutes, if uncompressed, would require 25 meg a minute, or.4 meg a second.

Gobots may have been cheap, but IIRC, Transformers were a rip-off of Gobots. A good rip-off, but a rip-off.

StarCraft and Diablo (1 not 2) can be played under VMWare just fine. If you willing to spend the hundred dollars or so for it, it is very nice.

That'll be awesome. The one thing I hate about moving my destop is the moving the big and bulky monitor. This is a step in the right direction.
The site states: "UPDATED - 14APR98 - 2030 HOURS MORE UPDATES TOMORROW". They must be firm believers in "Tomorrow is always a day away." :-)
which would look up a typed name, figure out the number
Similar to 411.com, or any pother online phone book. They're great.
The current case is, 1 - lookup name in phone book, 2 - dial number into phone. Step 1 is usless, and should be obsoleted with better phones.
It would require different phones. The idea is similar to quick dials on a persons phone, remember this button ather than a phone number.

But the meeting will be short. Rubbish from the platform must be transferred to the orbiter for return to Earth.
Rubbis returned to Earth? Why don't they just shoot it towards the sun or something?
