"funny you should mention that because there's this little thing in physics called pair production and it deals with quarks, and wait, get this, they spontaneously pop into existence, isn't that a bitch. and its been observed too, so i guess something can be produced from nothing.
a bugg"

Nice knowledge, but you should know from whence it comes. Law of conservation of energy states (yes, LAW) that nothing can come from nothing. What you are speaking of is matter coming from energy. Yes, e=mc^2, and all that, states that matter and energy are interchangeable. Ahh yes, the answer to the great question of philosophers over the ages, "Where does fat go when I burn it?" The opposite, as you have stated, also occurs, and has been proven; i.e. an object, when energy is added, gains mass. *tangent* This is even true for POTENTIAL ENERGY! How cool is this: A spring, when compressed, weighs more!!! (Link, Page 10)

While energy converting to matter may put off heat death a little while longer, it's no great epiphany :)

There are frequent news stories about the damage that underground cable installers sometimes do to sewer mains, etc., causing people's basements to be flooded with human waste.

I read an article about it very recently (I think it happened in Austin, TX), but kind find an online reference. This google cache of a page seems to list lots of similar cases, though.

Yeah, but Bill Gates 'ownz' Corel.

Google cache has the analysis, and you can look more about it with the keywords 'Microsoft Corel stock'.

Are you sure you investigated exactly
what osirusoft does?
I fint it unfortunate that so many
administrators seem to put in osirusoft
as a blacklist without examing what it
does. Osirusoft combines the blackhole
listing of many many other blackhole
listings, one of which is unfortunately,
SPEWS. SPEWS in my opinion is
overzealous with blacklisting and it
is unfortunate that osirusoft includes
them in its list. To read more about
the problem, read this posting
here

here is a relavent quote...

ii. a grep on osirusoft - which yields about 1/2 the messages -
but.. when there's a false positive, there's a really good chance that
it's in this group - and of this class of false positives, there's a close
to 100% liklihood that it's SPEWS that's given the false positive

You can alos check out antispews.

I think you miss the point. Where are all the other GUIs from the early 90's (Windows 3.0/3.1 NT 3.51 Gui, the OS/2 gui, DRDos gui...?). All of these GUIs were not designed around a very open and abstract hardware process and thus were tied to very specific notions of how hardware would work. Aqua has the same problem. X conversely does not. X can easily support a 3D virtual reality GUI served up to 10,000 way parellel subsystems... if such things existed. Unix technologies tend to be designed to scale both up to faster system and into the future.

1.3.2 Is GNUstep following Changes to OpenStep and MacOSX?

Yes, gnustep-base already contains the documented changes in the Foundation library. GNUstep aims to be compatible with both the OpenStep specification and with MacOS-X. It should be easy to write an application that compiles cleanly under both GNUstep and Cocoa.

here's the Google cache.

Morons, your jokes about /.'ing an XBox aren't funny.

While true, I think more people would recognize him as "co-founder of Apple", or even "the guy who invented Personal Computers". The point of such parenthetical phrases is to remind the reader who this is you're talking about. Wheels of Zeus, while a swimming concept, hasn't really proven its worth yet, even if it is abbreviated 'WoZ'.

Perhaps submitter works at Microsoft.

I posted anonymous to save moderators from wasting points on something so trivial, but if you insist....
ok, non-anonymous, with karma bonus.
here's a study
here's another one just to make sure.

both are google caches of the pdf's (1,2)

the bit about the windows admins is my own 2 cents- that's completely based on my biased opinion.

I once saw this (the legacy hooks in Quartz) documented in detail on a GnuStep mailing list, but I can't google it and their archive does not seem to be searchable.

My Apple tech reps don't want to discuss it, or anything else interesting for that matter. I did find a mention of it on Ars Technica and Planet PDF.

A truely great movie, I've watched it about ten times over the last few years. It has a great Bobby Fischer narrative woven into the story of Josh Waitzkin that prompted me to read more about Mr. Fischer. I have gotten the impression that he and his family were hounded enough by the FBI to drive them towards the mindset that they were being investigated for in the first place.

Bobby Fischer seemed to drop his interaction with most people when the FBI would investigate the people he came into contact with. It would be enough to make me very paranoid at a minimum. When I try to emulate his perspective based on his approach to chess, it gets more interesting.

Look at a chess board and see a massive parallel and deep attack. The pieces only represent positions, the real battle is mental between two powers. Victory comes from overpowering and outlasting your opponent. If you loose concentration and perspective, it is easy for your opponent to start using your own pieces against you by limiting your movments with your pieces. That seems to explain his withdrawal from public interaction, he limited the liability of having others around that would be a liability. He would have seen the FBI as an opponent with thousands of pieces that had to be controlled. If most of those that would be considered his opponents could only focus on him, then they became the ones that had limited movment and got in each others way.

It is late and I may be rambling a bit, but for a perspective on the different level of mental capability Bobby Fischer has over the average person,
read this google cached page about Josh Waitzkin and try to relate. Josh has studied Bobby Fischer in great depth and can see many of the flaws in Bobby's game/life. From what I can see from Bobby Fischers perspective, I would have become a paraniod freak from the pressures that he and his family endured.

Another story (three or four links deep from the above links) here, and the Google cache here.

The Zaurus includes a "software" keyboard (actually, several different types) if you so prefer.

See page 34 of the Zaurus SL-5500 user guide (sharp-usa.com is now offline, hence the Google translation).

A remedy should "effectively pry open to competition a market that has been closed by [a] defendant['s] illegal restraints."
Ok. But what about the ill gotten gains of over $40 billion that M$ sits on? This money was made illegally. Yet they get to keep it all. Gives them a tremendous advantage in the market place, no?
This decision only puts restraints on the future and offers no punishment for their illegal actions.
Is this typical in a case like this?
In this column, Jim Seymour wrote Jackson's repeated findings of "predatory" action by Microsoft, through its monopoly, will strengthen considerably the hand of the DOJ in seeking severe penalties.
So why no severe penalties? Hell, I would argue they have no penalties.
(of course I recognize there was an election in 2000.)

there was an article in Potatoe Daily...

At least we know Dan Quayle reads Slashdot, maybe there is hope for the Republicans.

Here's a link to Google's cached version of the page so people can actually see it.

LocustWorld seems to be down, so here's the Google cache.

I'm such a whore.

I assume you mean satellite, but anyway...
Yes, something like this is used in space all the time. RTG, SNAP, whatever you want to call it, heat from decaying radioactive fuel heats one end of a bank of thermocouples, and the heat bleeds off the other end, to generate electricity. Both manned, and unmanned have used them.
Doesn't anybody remember when the logic-impaired Greenpeace types were whining about Galileo, with its RTG?
Anyway, I just want to point out that, at least from the article, this sounds like another non-news thing. unless it's considered a big deal to use natural hot and cold water for the temperature gradient.

It says here that
Dell is seeking an ODM [google cahce] like Compal or HTC to make a device for their entry to the handheld market.

The good: The Dell handhelds will be similar to iPaq and the T-Mobile PocketPC Smartphone.

The bad: Nothing really new or different but a sticker on the devicel

The ugly: Steve..."Dude, is that a Dell in your pocket, or are you just happy to get one?"

Google Cache shows the site had: " Over 750,000 people have started. Isn't it your turn to say what's on your mind?" See the cache for more site info

Here's the Google cache in case it gets slashdotted.

BSDL is a good answer, but it's not the only one. The best answer from a US Govt point of view should be as close to public domain as possible, but non-US users may need explicit permission. That would best satisfy the "national interest", IMO.

Here's google's html version.

A Google Cache of a site by those being sued can be found here... It brings up several interesting questions...

Not according to boston.com

I am not sure if this is persistent, but also here is a direct link to the cache. The Google Cache Link for the Ad

Oops..!

Try this instead.

The Microsoft "Switch" page that was removed earlier today can be found in the Google cache at: Article at Google Cache The picture of the woman is not the author of the article, but just a clip art from: Girl Clipart For Sale That fact was posted in one of the Slashdot comments. ~Dan Lake

Speed never killed anyone.

That is simply not true.

Not that I'm against them, they're better than other eco-groups which do nothing but spout speculative doom-and-gloom prophecies. At least these guys are scientists, not activists.

What's the presumption here? Is it that to be "better" one has to have some overt economic merit to The Cor? What's wrong with our society funding research just for the sake of knowledge? Do you think environmental scientists are some sort of professional welfare recipients? This sentiment is assinine enough to be fodder for The Simpsons:

From The Simpsons: Bart The Fink (1996):
"It doesn't matter how you live or what you did. As long as you're on TV, people will respect you."
"Respect? Pah! What good is respect without the moolah to back it up? Everywhere I go I see teachers driving Ferraris! Research scientists drinking champagne!"
Bart Simpson and Krusty the Clown

Ayn Rand was right, science is ruined by public funding. Scientific pursuit and public opinion make poor partners.

What I'd like to know is what sort of backlash there is in china against The Great Firewall? I very much doubt that this blocking goes un-noticed, yet I have never heard anything about any sort of resistance to it in china or any other country in the media, although it almost certainly does exist.

Naturally, a quick search on you-know-what brings up some interesting links.

I'd also like to add that I believe hacktivism to be, at least in this case, piss-all use, and that graffiti on government buldings is the way to get the message to the intellectual proles. And also the way to torture and execution.

Have a nice day.
Ali

Nevertheless,
www.google.com works, as do
images.google.com and
groups.google.com.

Trying to check whether the cached version of Amnesty International is reachable in China, I found that the system returned an error message stating that the Great Firewall blocks requests only by URL and thus the parameters should be removed from the request.
Apparently, the server containing the cached page, "http://216.239.37.100/", can be reached from China.

I am inclined to think that the Chinese Government may already have more subtle methods to block content. On the other hand, they keep shutting down internet cafes...

Perhaps you've never used Opera, but maybe you aren't aware of just how much longer Mozilla takes to render simple things.

This isn't a diss against Mozilla, which has drastically improved recently, but benchmarks have proven that Opera renders things as much as (and more than) 4x the speed of Mozilla.

Proof

Normally, this is most significant with large files, but *everything* is effected. It isn't about how fast the connection is. Opera's renderer is just plain faster- and that is what many of us pay for. It has lots of configurability too, especially with fonts and advanced rendering options.

"The fastest browser on earth" is not a misnomer. Even if they grabbed files over a network at the same speed, Opera's renderer is still faster, and more efficient. People keep missing the point. Try it out, and you will understand.

in Carl Sagan's _Contact_ utilized polarization modulation to encode part of their message. Google cache of a page discusing it is here.

heres the Google cache

So any latency you have in the DAW can put skips or glitches in your recorded input. ...Linux is perfect for this, because comparatively MacOS 9, MacOS X, and all versions of Windows except CE are complete pigs.

Except Linux has traditionally been horrible for latency. There is work being done to make the kernel both interruptable and low-latency, and it shows a lot of improvement in the patches available for 2.4. The necessary patches are still not in the mainstream kernel, IIRC, but they may make it into 2.6.

Furthermore, you are totally incorrect when it comes to Windows and Mac OS. Classic versions of both OSes suck for latency, but OS X is great, and Win2k (and presumable WinXP) do rather decently when it comes to low-latency audio. At the moment, Mac OS X wins under the non-ideal conditions that are likely to be expereinced in the field. (PDF here, Google html)

I think Linux has one really tough competitor in Mac OS X when it comes to this arena. Apple already has mindshare, market share, and a kick-ass audio subsystem. Linux has none of those three, so it'll be an uphill battle. After ALSA is standardized and rolled out completely, maybe we'll talk.

One of the better articles I've seen on how to stop spam covers Social and technical measures (Google cache), by Richard Jones - using Google because that site isn't reachable right now. It doesn't have all the answers, but has some very good ideas. Most importantly, they can be implemented by ISPs without legislation, important though that is in the medium term.

I think a combination of strong filtering, strong terms of service (e.g. take credit card numbers of those who sign up for email service, and have an automatic and substantial fine for abuse), and legislation could really help. Spammers moving offshore actually makes filtering easier, for those people who don't do a lot of business with China at any rate...

One key point is that spam-filtering should be controllable by the individual, to allow people to make sure they receive email that might look like spam (e.g. most commercial newsletters) and server-based so that nobody needs to download spam over slow dialup or mobile wireless connections. SpamAssassin is the best tool I've found so far.

Google Cache

Tanenbaum explains that Microsoft OSes are actually pretty stable, it's just the buggy drivers lead them to crash. I hope MSFT remembers that defense.

NT was based on VMS, not Unix. You may be thinking of the TCP/IP stack that was sourced from BSD.

Have a look at the google cache of their home page for proof. :-(

Google's Cache Of The Page

This was not the developers doing something sly. There have been a recent rash of compromised servers hosting different pieces of software, and then backdoors being configured in a similar manner in the ./configure script as described in this post. Similarly hit was monkey.org where some of dug song's security tools were compromised. Google cache of dug's post.

There was another relatively famous piece of software compromised the same way recently as well. Somebody is going through some great lengths to put backdoors in the source of some good OSS. Makes you wonder how much is being missed.

I hear they have interesting things to say about the space program.
