They'll need to find a new name for the company now. ORACLE = One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison

Yeah, can't figure out how a gender studies major ever gets anything other than the type of job gender studies are supposed to eliminate.

Channels don't exist on a carrier.

Unhelpful pedantics. My point, as you correctly gathered, os one of there being or not/being sufficient bandwidth to do the job.

Where is "there", incidentally? I think it might be helpful to have some idea of how far out in which set of sticks we're talking about.

VNC might be really slow over dialup though, you'd need to use Tight encoding with JPEG quality cranked all the way down to make it usable at all.

I will admit to trying such stupidity and confirm that this is true. Watching a screen refresh, even when using -compresslevel 9 and -bgr233 is very painful over dialup. Try to avoid it if at all possible.

SSH, OTOH, is fairly usable by dialup.

Okay. So. Do it. I'm not stopping anyone.

Yeah, it's not like Americans spent some $15,000,000,000.00 during Bush's second term to help fight AIDs in Africa, dropping the death rate by some ten percent and saving millions of lives or anything with the President's Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief (although, it seems like the funding may have been cut by the following presidency).

dry wave power=wind

feed the energy into water to produce hydrogen, I think he means.

Or just in an emergency, raise the gate on the wave device and let the water wash UNDER it.

Most moralities, that's true. For one, however, it is implied by the physical universe we live in, and is as objective as physics.

If a liberal arts degree holder actually had critical thinking skills, he would never have gotten a liberal arts degree.
