The new Sharp Zaurus has a JVM installed in it. I'm not sure how many developers are going to use it, but it's there. You can check out some details here.
Huh... Yeah, right.
I'm 22. I've never gone looking for a girlfriend. You see, I don't want a girlfriend, I want a wife. Don't let all that shit we get bombarded with every day about men always being afraid to commit fool you. Women have been so much worse in my experiance. I know what I want in life. As soon as I find a woman that wants the same thing, i'm out of the market. It's not easy though. They might want it until they realize that it means that -they- have to commit too, or that -they- will have to make adjustments in their life and to put -effort- into it to make things work.
Bob Young says:
So our opportunity is not to replace Microsoft on the PC.
ZDNet reporter Matthew Broersma says:
Red Hat chairman Bob Young says Windows will continue to rule the desktop!
What a crock! That is NOT what Bob Young said. He said that they have an opportunity to expand their business in new directions. Directions that will be of more benifit to RedHat and their customers then "the desktop".
Does this mean that I can finaly have the "Focus Follow's Brain" option in my window manager? I'm tired of telling people in IRC what shell commands I'm trying to run and I don't like my naughty IRC comments being logged in.bash_history.
Trolltech got themselves on the good side of Open Source developers and yet is making money becouse of the dual licence of QT.
Why could you not apply the same thing to SourceForge? Make SourceForge GPL when you use it to make GPL (and other fsf aproved licenced) apps, and closed when you want to use it for closed apps?
In order for this flaw to be exploitable,/usr/bin/newgrp must be
setuid root and world-executable. Additionally, newgrp, when run with no
arguments, should not prompt for password.
Well, Duh!
World Exec + Suid == bad
This is a distribution bug, not a kernel one. You should not have world exec programs set suid, especialy on a system that you expect to be completely secure.
Why is Zhenan Bao carrying around all those balls wired to each other? If she leaves that at home, will she forget how to put these molecules together? Why doesn't she just get the directions tattooed onto the back of her hand if she needs that kind of help?
Honestly...
There is no way this is going to be useful in consumer grade pc's for a long, long time. The only possible use I can see is ultra-high-end servers and graphics boxes that cost >$200K and thats not for another 5 years. Right now, we have a glut of processing power in our pc's. Dual Athlon 1.5ghz? Are you nutz? I'm still amazed by how fast my 1ghz tbird is! We need processers and internal components that are more reliable and do more, not just do the same things faster.
Who the hell needs 10,000fps in quake, anyway...:)
...voice over IP.
Perhaps now the strenths of VoIP will be shown instead of just the "wizz bang" of it all. Look at how quickly internet access was restored to the area via wireless. By seperating the network from the application, it becomes much more robust.
Perhaps an 802.11 over a heavily boosted antanne? Is this in a country w/ RF restrictions? I'm not sure if 45 mi is possible, but w/ repeaters, it may be.
Also, HP is working with something for long distance 45Mbps wireless backbones w/ 802.11 downlinks for internet access in remote areas. There is a previous slashdot post here.
As far as I can see, nothing in the demos of this unit actually compress the fuel. Without compression, whatever fuel you use will only burn as fast as it does in the open. The wobble plate merely moves the air in the chambers around. I suppose that you could Change the shape of the plate so that as it spun it actually reduced the size of the combustion chamber. The problem is that this still would require a valve train to control intake and exhaust *outside* the motor. That throws the whole "simplicity" thing right out the window. The Wankle rotary used the peanut shape of the combustion chamber to compress the fuel/air mix. After staring at the gif demos for a hour and doing my own highly scientific experiments with paperclips and a keyring, I just can't see how this thing can make compression. In fact, as the plate slides past the combustion chamber, the compression is going to drop as far as I can tell. I'd love for someone to explain to me how this thing produces power. I just can't see it.
Somthing so vile that almost all terrorists, criminals, and other bad people use...
Somthing that is so easy to get ahold of that anyone can get them.
And that is... Pants! Yes, Pants! Just about every crime is commited by someone that is wearing pants! (unless you're in Scotland).
We need to stop the insanity by cutting off the supply of pants to the world. Heaven forbid that somone commits a crime becouse it was so easy to get some pants.
I hope it works out for VA. If they can make money with this, and still supply the services that they are now, *great*!
I would much, much rather see this then VA going down the tubes becouse of lack of funds. They've done so much for the comunuity.
Everyone here who thinks that Microsoft should be pummeled for the things they have done needs to write a letter. Do not type it, hand write it (unless your handwriting and spelling are that bad). Use your own words. Give the guys in charge a letter from the trenches. Tell them how you personaly, and the companies you work for, have been affected by Micosofts monopoly. Remember, you don't have to convice the feds that Microsoft is a monopoly; it's been proven in court. Tell them what you think is the best solution but don't say it's the only one. Get the point across that *something* must be done. Lets see if the slashdot effect can be extended to snail-mail.:)
You can be sure that I'll be sending a few letters.
This just goes to show you how the word is run by corps. So, technology may allow us to recreate just about anything, quickly, easyly, and cheaply? Well!! What about the poor multinational corps whose buisiness models will go down in flames over this? Wah! It's about time that things are invented to make life better for humanity, rather then just line big buisness' pockets. However, that will never happen in this world. See 1st John 5:19
My personal opinion is that PDA's are going to make the same trasformation as PC's:
From personal information storage and computing to communication devices. What do most of us use our PC's for anyway? Programing? Comon... Our PC's are nothing more then gateways to the internet, which is a communications medium. Thats why pda/phone hybrids are getting so much attention. I really wish I could afordably get my iPaq on to the internet wirelessly. It would quickly become a very useful device rather then just a mobile nethack toy.:)
Guess I'll need to reinforce my bookshelf a little bit more. I need to find something better looking then the pieces of old teliphone polls I'm using now anyway.

Hey! I have a fat DSL pipe man! If I want to see 10,000lb of pink flesh, I'd better be able to get it, damnit!
Oh, you're talking about an elephant.... sorry, my bad...
