According to the release page the new Eudora application is not intended to compete with Thunderbird, but instead to complement it.
Complement pomplement - It's a competitor even if it runs on the same technology platform. But that's good, really good. I mean see what competition did to Mozilla/Firefox.
I liked Eudora back in the end of the 90s, not sure if I would nowadays, but I for sure will give it a try.
Great. - I've always said something like this: one day they'll build cell phones that can do nearly everything except making a phone call, and now they did it. I'm speechless.
Negation (in natural language) is a tricky business, even if we forget about the psychological part for a minute. Just to give one example:
Presuppositions - I have seen her again. and I haven't seen her again again. both presuppose that I saw her (before) so large parts of what I say persist under negation.
In addition, results from psycho-linguistic research suggest that negation involves some sort of double processing, that is we transform a negative statement in an equivalent positive one before we further process it. That in all this the negated statement stay activated and is thus reinforced is more than plausible.
Now, if this robot would do the chit-chat and socializing stuff for you autonomously and then report to you the relevant information, that would be a feature.
It was wrong even at the time of our grand(-grand-)parents. The role of the state in left/socialist theory (and praxis) has been disputed since the beginning. (e.g. Bakunin vs. Marx in the 1870s)
There are a lot different flavours of socialism. In the US you had Murray Bookchin a libetarian socialist. Then you have different anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist flavours all around the earth and they were and are strictly anti-state/anti-government and leftist.
And to your Empire I would like to add at least John Holloway's works.
That leftist are pro-state pigheads stuck in early 20th century ideology is just FUD.
...that the Trojan won't actually be realized. (BBC):
Justice Minister Brigitte Zypries, of the Social Democrats (SPD), has voiced concern about the spyware plans, saying they might infringe privacy laws,...
In recent news (only german, sorry) the federal police states that it won't be a trojan but what they call "remote forensic software" which they intend to install on the terrorists' computer manually. More like a software version of a bug (in the covert listening device sense).
Ssssh. I've know something better: reputation_algorithm 2.0, just let people do it, call "reputation" "karma" (just for the geek factor) and I predict it will be a great success at least in the stranger corners of the internet.
I think it's a nice thing, and can be useful for a lot of things especially if you are on low budget. If you cluster Opterons or something it'll get pretty fast expensive.
The Only thing the "translator" does is taking an English word and match it with lemmata in a lexicon then it takes the first hit and then it goes on. Try typing "I have seen you" you'll get "[I] [have] [see]n [you]" it simply cuts of the "n" of seen and leaves it there because it can only find uninflected forms. This is less than nothing.
And by the way the statement "For best results, use simple words as language has developed a lot since the time of this ancient language." under translation is one of the most stupid things I have read on an academic page language dedicated to some aspect of language. They should just take a Sanskrit dictionary (or whatever... Maya... Classical Chinese). Language then and now is pretty much the same, but apparently in some places technology hasn't developed that much, grumblegrumblegrumble...
Yeah, that would be total biopolitics they would sell your body to Body Worlds and sell you the permission to reincarnate.
I always thought we need a IOsM (international Organisation for spiritual Migration) all these souls crossing borders to reincarnate. We have to regulate that it's a wide open door for terrorists.
C'mon that's just hilarious (at least if it wouldn't be that sad). It's a wonderful example how totalitarian states need to control every corner of life even the dark corner of superstition.
But please don't forget that Tibet was a theocracy (actually a bodhisattva-cracy) before the Chinese Army invaded and the Dalai Lamas only became meek as a lamb after they/he lost power.
Sun Zi (or Sun Tzu), seriously, it is a big hype in the management world but it is a great work on strategic thinking, really.
Disclaimer: IANAManager, just someone who studied Classical Chinese at University, and from that point of view I would say get this not that. Or maybe on of the million Sun Zi for manager/marketing/whatever books, but then you got the hype.
But OTOH I also never lost all my data in the flames of my burning home, nor did I have any data damaged by a virus, nor was any sensitive data stolen from me, nor..., nor..., nor...
You see, a lot of this security things are a little paranoid but I still consider the argument for not buying exactly the same stuff for backup still valid. If there is a problem with the charge changes are high that it will affect both HDs.
Since security things tend to be a little paranoid, you have to balance how far you personally/as a company want to go. And hey, this guy also puts one of his HDs in a bank safe.
It's capitalism at its best. Remember, Laissez-faire Manchester type capitalism is just one flavour of capitalism. And by far not the most frequent one.
One defining characteristic of capitalism is accumulation of capital/maximizing the profit. A monopoly is a very good way to do so. (Does Microsoft ring a bell?)
This particular monopoly was a government-granted monopoly but monopolies also develop under free-market conditions. Did you never wonder why capitalism needs all this laws and regulation to protect the *free* market? I guess it's not because companies like competitors and want them to stay.
Finally, this monopoly was granted to ensure Telkom a profit for building infrastructure in remote areas. Public services are a typical problem of capitalistic economies since they tend to be unattractive for companies.
And with the monopoly granted Telkom did what a capitalistic company has to do, it maximized its profit by raising the prices.
All I can see is capitalism at its very best. Not very pretty but nothing surprising.
You have to distinguish between two types of lead-acid batteries and then the whole thing is not that optimal anymore.
With wet-cell lead-acid batteries you'll get evaporation and resulting loss of capacity. Beside that you have a precipitation of lead(II) sulfate that can ultimately kill your battery.
With maintenance-free (sealed) batteries like Valve Regulated Lead Acid batteries you do not get these problems but you could get thermal runaway and they do explode. Gel-batteries are less inclined to explode but especially older ones do that too.
On the other hand lithium metal polymer are said to "have service lives as long as 10 years, under ambient temperatures from -40C to +65C."
But the problem actually is that the/.summary contains nearly all the information the press release (it's not an article) contains. If you read it closely it only states that it's in "the predictive input arena" - could be a lot.
The whole thing does not even contain enough information to talk about it on slashdot.
You are right biofuels have various downsides but to get a realistic calculation the things get rather complicated. You have to consider which fuel/substances you are replacing, which crop you grow, how you grow it etc.
Depending what kind of battery you replace (with cadmium, mercury, or lead?). I think it would be good to have a sugar-driven alternative.
Right now the accelerated demand for biofuels in the US (among other factors) is ruining the Gulf of Mexico. This clearly shows a downside of biofuels, but depends on the cultivation method.
But whether the crop was grown ecologically or not is the bigger issue for all biofuels. Indeed it's not an issue for biofuels alone but for every agricultural product. And the best way surely is to reduce the need for fuel by using it more efficiently.

I think "persistent vegetative state" is the word you are looking for.

But that depends on a lot of factors. Germany's biggest hacker organization the Chao Computer Club and others are very effectively campaigning against this plans.

Yes, they are if you cluster them, that's the trick. Here they used: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ AM2 CPU and they reach a very good performance with it, compared to the price.

46 chromosomes ought to be enough for anybody.
Let me venture a guess... 10 years?

not sure if I get you right but:
Same vendor, same product, roughly same manufacturing date? Great strategy.

Congratulations, in something that is going to be a GPL vs. BSD flamewar you are starting a vi vs. Emacs flamewar.
I'm really touched.
