I have a Samsung HDTV in route, reading the manual to be ready for it, I saw a lot of areas for abuse, Facial recognition, voice commands. and It's recommended to create a Facebook account as it would be easier for other accounts. Damn if they aren't going to data mine my TV; if they are "preparing" a new item to spy with and collect text, I'm sure it's already in place in other areas.

It gets worse, I bought it to be a monitor for my PC, and it has a web browser built in.

Same thing I thought, I'm so glad were there to intervene. The Moose have been their for mayhaps thousands of years, as have the wolfs; it's taken care of itself quite well with no help from any body, just nature.. I'm glad we can interfere to cause problems in other unforeseen areas.

Kinda like putting out every fire you see until the under brush is extensive enough for an inferno to wreak havoc over a vast area... like oh say the Yellowstone fires of 1988. .

They won't do you much good it appears. Often I watch "How the Universe Works" (first series) to put me to sleep;
while not a book, it's almost as good.

They drive home the point that as soon as a star starts producing iron it's toast, in that split second it goes nova.
The reasoning is it absorbs too much energy allowing gravity to overcome the push (outward force) of fusion.

But it's not just "How the Universe Works" it's any article on the Sun will tell you the same thing.

Finally figure you have a handle on something and some article like this comes along and changes the rules. So what do you believe? Honestly.
But The Bible isn't even in the running.

Nope not so funny now. No I wasn't aware that CS2 is now "free" and keys available; have just always used CS2 and needed nothing else, so never followed up on it. -I also avoid news list, and product announcements.

Does explain why I wasn't able to connect to an activation server and had to take other means :}

Alas I never could get OS/2 to install, had to set up a video camera and record the monitor while it was loading; then sneak up on the error frame by frame - was my video driver.

Being before public Internet access I was stuck. Doom was telling me to play it just one more time; and I lost interest.

OS/2 would be a very nice os to keep running, while never running it myself all around me were and was coming across as a much nicer OS than Windows was pushing.

Oh ya; I'm make a great Admin, lots of server commands I'd like to try out :}

I Wish you luck.

I still use Photoshop CS2, I'm aware Photoshop is to be ah rented in the future if not now, seems that would be an easier install as you don't have to mess with a windows installer (Adobe ain't gonna pay for it's use). The demo uses in but it's not an on-line version.

I can't help but laugh at all the people that will be trying to reuse the key shown to unlock their Photoshops.

Modafinal is a drug available from India on the cheap http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M...
commercially it was being sold as Provigil.

The article I didn't read hits upon this drug, I've purchased it a few times from India as Provigil (with a prescription), it's come I'm sure as modafinil.

Provigil's patent was to expire in 2012 thus begot Nuvigil http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A... which is slower acting, Provigil's patent was renewed for a very long time, I haven't got an answer to when, but told it's no time soon.

Nuvigil runs around $20 a tablet, Provigil $25 a box of 50 (India), Provigil isn't being sold anymore (in the US) that I know of just kept for it's patent.

Modafinal is your basic generic drug, everything after is research.

In the case of Newvigil, it being such an exceptional drug they are asking for more than it's worth, where as Modafinal being virtually the same thing, is asking it's manufacture price and a bit of profit.

As much as I distrust javascript the web seems to run on it for the pretty things, Maybe this could help put a stem to it, it's a hope.
Hell if nothing else stop eye strain, I mean those short lines (sentences) are a b!tc#.

Links added to my HOSTS file apk, can only hope.

Ressurrector - bringing to life killed equipment

I was thinking of them being stolen as they drove along unmanned. They wouldn't make it 5 miles.
Article had a picture of a truck that could make someone very wealthy if torn down to it's basic parts.

Then this part: "who, in other words, gets sued or charged when an unmanned automobile harms people or property?"

Urban myth or not you decide. While in Viet Nam you hear of the story - one time someone got run over by a 2 1/2 ton truck, the family got a lot of money as a settlement. When trucks drive through villages now they are subjected to having kids thrown under the wheels for a pay off.

Comments are cheap, and a request for them show an interest in the audience.

Following the comments or suggestions are for adding things not thought of when the upgrade was thought of. Changing from the already decided format isn't an option.

Be it a highly paid study or someones grandiose idea for a new direction... it's how it always happens, some survive some don't.

I've never followed a link to Slashdot, can't think of a time I have. It's a site you need to stumble across to find. Opera browser had it's own /. shortcut and others would steer or hint of Slashdot's being, but stumble you needed to do. Just saying it's user base would appear to be of some importance.

My Beta shows half of a predetermined page that has a narrow band of text to the left and the right half all white or blank, not sure if it's my HOSTS file at work or it's just a blank billboard at the moment.

Slashdots' replies took some getting used; I even looked it up, (a good line length is 90 characters). I began to post without a carriage return. Once beta has become fact if I leave replies, I'll be doing a carriage return every 30 characters or less, It's something that can't be fixed without changing the entire format,
