There was an episode of some cheesy 80's show where some kid plays a computer game designed by a jailhouse inmate. The game was "based" on the actual paterns ofthe guards routine movements throughout the jailhouse. Kid wins game, inmate escapes jail. Clever premise, but done before. Thinking Ender's Game.
Regarding your #2 - don't assume anything can be decided in 24/48/72 hours in a company as large as HP. Getting 5-7 management layers of approval can take weeks. Something like this that involves customers, PR, marketing, and hard-to-pin-down open source, can take a very long time.
Anyone knw the answer to this very good question? I'm actually quite suprised that VW hasn't made news on this topic. I own a 2000 TDi Jetta, and love it!
FWIW: HP will sell you a rack of pre-configured systems for doing such visulization arrays, or video multiplexing onto one screen. They use high-end NVidia gear within the Linux servers. It is a quiet program of HP's.
Makes sense to me, but I already own a Jetta TDi. One question - has any automaker (VW?) looked into a hybrid-electric car with the TDi? Seems that would get one up to 100+ mpg.
Read Frank Abagnale's "The Art of the Steal" - it is very possible to cheat an honest person. The fact is that most people are honest most of the time, and when they are cheated, they were still being honest.
Assuming a total failure of the STS-107, and NASA's expected need to investigate without the added burdun of trying to launch any more shuttles for a while, what about the folks on the ISS? Can they be managed with only Russian space transports?
Maybe the article had a typo (I'm about to read the links) - and given the smaller cables are great, but why is ~19MB/sec transfer speed really all that much news? Isn't SCSI160 almost 10x that? (granted no disks can do 160MB/s, and SCSI is shared...)
Circle: Use a compass. A compass is a simple tool that should be easier to learn than any calculator. (Adjust angle, stick pointy end into paper, draw.) And then all kinds of important tricks of geometry are possible, with just the compass - really only learnable with the compass in hand.
Elipse: put two pegs on paper, the chalk board, etc. Toss a loop of string around pegs. Pull loop of string tight with a pendic, chalk, etc. Draw with string kept tight. Lookie! an elipse! How hard was that?
I used my TI-85 to do all sorts of math, but I learned my math in books and on paper.
That deserves a much praise. I've seen 70% broken in 20 minutes at an unnamed company I used to work for. That was 12000 accounts (NT domain). And that was a few years ago on slower hardware.
Seriously - 30% isn't all that bad if the cracking software is configured well.
While I wait for the tide to go out again, let's hear it for Google - they seem to be one of the few true 'eyes-open' geek-corporations out there.
It seems to be the exception, sadly, that a company becomes prominent and generally liked all because of their technology and almost non-marketing.
One camp (Linux) is pretty open, and honest about those holes.
The other camp ain't. We do hear about some vulnerabilities out of Microsoft, but more often it's independent disclosure that open's out eyes. So, how many problems are left unaddressed, and unknown by all but the secret holders? Simple: we don't know.
I haven't read the books for some time, but not in my wildest imagination could I have dreamed of the landscapes and characters in the film.
Try rereading the books - you may find the details and depth very rewarding. I did. The movie is a great 3 hour version of the FOTR story, but the book in not lacking of any detail or drama - instead it allows you to really soak up all of the minor details (and characters!) that the movie could not make room for. Read it again!
I read today that 8 Americans have died. Four accidents, and four combat-related. Of the four in combat, three from friendly fire recently, one (CIA) killed by the enemy in the prison uprising.
Nothing's not to love. It's already a great product by my read.
I do think though that the average |slashdot| consumer (meaning someone like me, who is still more of an average consumer than a WSJ tech editor) would like the option for color available concurently with the B/W option at initial release. Side-by-side shopping and all that.

HP says they won't use the DMCA. They never said they wouldn't incorporate smart chips into the supplies.

Then let them. If the winds of change blow true, perhaps the financial losses will pile up and we can see a true revolution in the music industry.
I dream. I wish. I will not buy more CDs.

At least with opensource I can look at the code.
And **Music*** - It makes IV, V, and VI work, and I hang in there.
Just think of all the normal users who leave the defaults!
I wonder what the max resolution on that will be... 1,280,000 x 1,024,000 pixels?
Woah - what would the marketing folks call that one - a "Terapixel" display. Or "USEMXVGA++*+"

Good luck.
That's 3/8 due to friendly fire.
Eash of our troups has a pen laser and two house cats.
1) Release cats between you and the enemy.
2) Direct cats toward enemy trenches with pen light. Watch enemy freak out.
