But Email is decentraliced, FB is centralized. FB is in a position to know everything about you and your friends.
Google does this with email, and that is why I don't use Gmail.
It's the business model of Google and FB to know everything about you. I feel queasy.
If my kid is deathly sick I would definitly not post this to a semic public place. I would not want that my parents would have shared such information in an insecure semi public place using a commercial data mining company.
I never understood why parents post pictures of their childs on the net (semi) publically. If my baby pictures were googeable or FB searchable I would not be happy nowadays. This is private and should remain private. FB posting is not private, its business model is exploiting private data.
Real live acustic is way to complex and poorly understood to measure and reproduce it accuratly.
It's a matter of fact that no $xxxx gear sound hifi equipment can beat to sound of an A string on a real guitar.
Just try.
Nokia has developed a LGPL python binding to QT since the existing pyQT is not fully open.
Why should they do that if they don't count on Python?

There is such a law in Germany.
Your are not allowed to store personel data in Germany without requiring permission from the person to do so.
It is also forbidden to take systemactically pictures of car license plates without a suspicion of an infrigment. Unenctryped WLAN is not a public broadcast and therefore there is no approval to store the ownser's personal data.
Even if a door is not locked you are not allowed to rob the house.
The problem with Darwin is that nobody actually read his books but everybody is talking about him.
Therefore he is one of the most misunderstood man in history.
It is the same with Slashdot, everybody comments on stories they didn't read. Including me right now:-)
I've just installed the latest Debian on an very old HP Vectra 100 Mhz CPU, 64 MB RAM with 2GB HDD. It is controlling my house heating and runs nice with a modern programming language / editor (IDE) etc. Please advice me how i can do this with Windows XP or VISTA.
Using processes or threads is an implementation detail and there is no difference in the fundamental logical problem of shared state and data.
Sure processes are better isolated, but the problem of time and concurrency stays.
This will always be a problem because it is a fundamental logical one, comming from mother nature.
4. There are computing-jobs that are inherently not parallel.
5. Parallel programming is hard not because of bad programming languages but because of the logical problems that come with shared state and parallelism.
Therefore multicores do not bring a substantial performance benefit. Futhermore because the problems are fundamental logical ones, there is no big hope.
You forget that you have a power outlet and a table at each seat in the train. Therefore I can connect my notebook and work 6-8 hours instead of stupid driving. If I bring in those working hours in the equitation, car and plane has financially lost.
While working, those 8 hours are going by that fast, I even don't realize them.
Furthermore there is a nice dining car in the train with excellent food. (in Europe)
Space and comfort is much more generous in the train than car or plane.

Whether car driving is more dangerous than flying depends on the statistic you are applying. If you compare 1 km car driving with 1 km flying, the car is more dangerous. But if you compare 1 hour of car driving against 1 hour flying than suddenly flying is the most dangerous transportation.
In Vienna the underground can theoretically drive without a driver since the 90ies. The driver is still there for emergency and because people don't trust an underground without human driver.

Whats the size and weight of the arm?
What's the force on the fingers?
Whats the speed of open closing the fingers?
Otto Bock's Greifer has 160 N (16 kg) finger-force. That's way more than a human hand can do and necessery for heavy duty working with the arm. (you can even use it as a vice)
In Austria there is a long tradition of producing heat and electrical energy out of small wood powerplants. The technology had an enourmous boost the last decade. Austrian companies are on the forefront. Heating works as comfortable as any other heating. Austria produces more wood than it consumes. It's cheap, it's CO2 neutral, it helps this little country to be a little more independent of external oil supply and to invest in local companies instead of foreign oil companies. Actually the room and my house I am sitting in at the moment is heated by bio energy (wood).

Not it's not. Because Google is breaking the law, not the user.
Mappero works perfectly for this purpose on my Nokia N900, it's OS, based on OSM and Google bike router: http://maemo.org/packages/view/maemo-mapper/

SICP has an good examples of that problem: http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book-Z-H-23.html#%25_sec_3.4
Functional programming may be an answer, but this answer is limited by mother nature.

Invented in the 1970ties
Actually Myoelectric controlled hands are very old. It was invented by Otto Bock in the late 1960ties http://www.ottobock.com/cps/rde/xchg/SID-3F574DD1- 4F9E32A8/ob_com_en/hs.xsl/384.html
The biggest *practical* problem is not the number of fingers or the number of degrees but battery lifetime vs. size and weight. Otto Bock hands are outstanding in energy efficiency and miniaturization. The dominate the market with outstanding technology for over 30 years. They incorporate the world smallest automatic gearbox (patented). http://www.google.at/patents?id=oAUiAAAAEBAJ&dq=ed uard+horvath
