"He's reporting about Boston and Boston's issues," said Peter Casey, director of news and programming at WBZ Radio. "Where he's reporting from is irrelevant. I'm not wasting my airtime to tell people where Gary is." ...
WBZ's Casey said that with the advancement of technology, it has become common practice for on-air personalities across the industry -- such as Rush Limbaugh -- to anchor programs remotely.
Quick question if you would remind me....what makes SCO think there's System V code in linux? Did they do what GPL'ers do and compare or grep binaries?
Would it be possible to use the 0x01 exploit in IE for this purpose?
That is, have IE display one address while downloading from a different url a virus with the debian conversion tools in the payload. Then trick the user into running the executable (or can the virus run itself?). Just a thought.
The thing that bugs me is the dipshits whom you *don't* know who apparently forget their keycards and hover around the door waiting to sneak in behind someone else. Friends and spouses of employees do this all the time. What's the point of having a keycarded door if not only do people let others in but people can expect to be let in eventually?
If not a biometric device, there could be a real person sitting at every entrance to help eliminate this nonsense. Of course you'd have to pay them enough to encourage them to care, but then the employee has to ask himself whether it's worth it.
I dunno, does Yahoo take a more aggressive approach to filtering if you use their premium service? I get enough ~140 kb emails offering to upgrade my Win* OS to fill up my free 6 MB mailbox twice a week. I can't tell whether having reported those emails as "Spam" to Yahoo has made a difference.
I don't suppose SCO wants a cut of Google's stock and/or options in exchange for a linux license? That could be major extortion from my POV: SCO waits for any run-up in the Google stock and then bails. Voila--instant $$.
Money is the last thing I want to see SCO get its hands on.
I *knew* I"d seen that before. But it turns out there was another article before the one cited in this 2004 paper:
Bocquet L. 2003. The physics of stone skipping. AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSICS 71,50-155.
The motion of a stone skimming over a water surface is considered. A simplified description of the collisional process of the stone with water is proposed. The maximum number of bounces is estimated by considering both the slowing down of the stone and its angular stability. The conditions for a successful throw are discussed.
This guy's web page provides the description (http://world.std.com/~mmcirvin/bluesky.html#sky):
The color pictures from Mars Pathfinder are a spectacular reminder that the sky is not blue on Mars. Instead, it has colors that have been described as everything from "orange-pink" to "gray-tan", as was discovered in the 1970s by the Viking landers. This is because the atmosphere of Mars is very thin and dusty, and atmospheric light scattering is dominated not by the molecules of gas (in the case of Mars, mostly carbon dioxide) but by suspended dust particles. These are larger than the wavelengths of visible light, and they are reddened by iron oxide, like Martian soil. It's not just Rayleigh scattering, so the power spectrum is different.
I wonder if there is some way to make a person's vote a legal contract.
[US] I mean, you already have to be an adult in the eyes of the law to be legally bound to contracts, and you have to be 18 to vote as per the Constitution. [/US]
because there's always somewhere else more dire to spend the money.....but the money is already there. It's reform that's needed, not more cash into the same system.
I agree, there *IS* money in the system, but in the absence of a mandate from a higher authority, as was the case with the original US moon program, money can be difficult -- or easy! -- to move around on account of the special interest groups (ie, "priorities") that are deemed to be in need on funding.
But you've got me curious now....what's the signal strength as detected on Earth? I saw earlier the number of watts generated by the solar panels, causing me to think at the time it was about that of a desktop computer power supply (like, 300-600 Watts). So let's see...IIRC, divide that by the surface area of the sphere whose diameter is the interplanetary distance.
That's correct, I use google essentially exclusively. But there have been a few times (counted on one hand) when category searches have been more productive for me.
Someone else mentioned in a different thread that Yahoo returns the same results as Google.
Right now I can find searches that give the same or very similar results (try: electricity lightning rod) or somewhat dissimilar results (try: actresses).

Yahoo to Dump Google
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
When I want to look for a category or find out simply "What is X basically?" quickly, I use Yahoo over Google. For this, it is a waste of time weeding out the crap Google has been bubbling to the surface lately. It's like those porn web sites that all refer to one another without actually providing any content.
Now when I want specific examples or contexts, such as "Do related terms X and Y occur on the same web page or in the same usenet article?", Google is great. Still, the crap has to be picked out.

A non-sequitor on his part AFAIAC.
Um...Rush Limbaugh does occassionaly mention that his studio is in Florida. So he's not hiding it.
Stoss es wo die Sonne nicht scheint...do-dah, do-dah.
Hoeher hoeher geht sie drin, o do-dah-day!

SCO: OK guys, this US gig isn't going to get us anywhere. Let's go to Europe!
OK, you mentioned doing things remotely.
How about the age-old sci-fi themes of teleportation (imagining where you want to be) or time travel (when you want to be)?

Atrocious, spam is.
Exactly. This is certainly the way to spin it, rather than apologize as was suggested by a previous poster.
It's got to make you wonder, though, just how often consumers anf taxpayers are blamed and punished when it's one of their own that f?cks things up.

Microsoft expresses an interest in search engines and all of a sudden SCO is going after Google.

Understood where you are coming from, but it just won't happen on account of the potential immigrant voting block.

To listen to the NOAA's computerized weather?

Frankly I'm getting sick of listening to Bad News on my mac
Yeah, I caught that also (and even posted it!) :)

There's no patch for 2.2 on kernel.org just yet.
