According to http://www.gateworld.net/news/2007/03/iuniversei_d eals_with_ninth_chev.shtml the show will deal with the ninth chevron. (for the uninitiated, 7 chevrons are used for travel within the galaxy, 8 chevrons are required to go outside the galaxy, I can only assume that 9 chevrons would be outside our universe or galaxies farther away within our universe than what 8 chevrons would be able to handle. (or perhaps time travel, the ancients, or at least one ancient, have already experimented with that)
"Actually- there is ONE thing I really do miss- iTunes. I can't see how it would be that big of a deal for Apple to port it from BSD to Linux. Fortunately I have a Mac sitting on the same desk." Try Amarok, IMO the best music player by far, of any OS. It's KDE based, but works under GNOME too.
The driver for 3945 is in the kernel, the daemon to regualate it however, is not. Under Ubuntu, the daemon would have been installed automatically. (its in linux-restricted-modules I believe) From what I've been able to gather, you need these two packages: ipw3945d ipw-firmware
Presumably you can install them from the package manager. If not you may have to add some repositories. Also, 2.6.16 is more recent than 2.6.8.
Where have you been for the past few years? Republicans are very much in favor of invasion of privacy. This is the party in favor of extending the invasions of privacy in the "Patriot act" and refused to even consider launching an investigation into Bush's warantless wiretapping.
That always baffled me as well. Why would you look for life that is similar to life that evolved on a planet where 70% of the surface is covered in water on a planet that has little to no water, it just doesn't make any sense.
You would think scientists would at least have a basic enough understanding of evolutionary biology to comprehend that life would be different on a planet with entirely different conditions.
or the year before that.
So it seems to me that this new "best operating system" category was tailor-made for Vista.
Add to that the fact that Vista is being named product of the year for a year where it's been available for companies for less than a month, hardly enough time for companies to migrate, and it looks to me like a marketing puff piece written, or funded, by Microsoft.
Most programs do not use VM's, so that's not why computers seem to be slower. It's more an issue of bloated operating systems, inefficient design and more and more bells and whistles.
The disadvantages of VM's are exaggerated IMO, the portability of applications achieved with Java outweighs the disadvantages. (note that this doesn't apply to C# programs written with Visual studio, I'm not sure why C# runs under a VM considering that it was designed for Windows only)
Java may not perform quite as fast as C/C++, but the difference is neglible, and is only noticable in applications requiring alot of processing.
Java programs are however slower to start, since they require that the JVM be started and the JIT compilation to be performed.
The Swing toolkit, IMO, does a huge disfavor to Java in this regard. Because the entire toolkit is emulated, making the GUI slow, contributing to the general perception of Java as slow.
I much prefer the SWT toolkit, since it both integrates better with the native environment and performs better. In fact most people wouldn't be able to tell a Java SWT app apart from a C/C++ GTK/Windows/Mac application.
I was under the impression that Java was the most popular first language at universities nowadays?
I'm a first year CS student at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, and we're using Java as our first language. (though not really first for most of us)
It's a pretty good first language IMO since it teaches object oriented programming without the need for all the manual memory management of C++.

According to Gateworld, they will start filming in April.

What is the point of getting rid of a TLD that has 3 million registered domains? Wouldn't all the owners of these domains have to be consulted first?
Firefox 2 was very unstable for me too. I've been running Firefox 3 Alpha 1 for about a month now, and it's been very stable compared to Firefox 2.

And yet this article from the same website concludes that Vista is in fact not the only game in town.
