    WTF is it with web designers that insist on stealing my bandwith with their incessant flash crap. Maybe I'll just start linking to your !@#$%! crap with every spambot on the planet till your server melts!

    I think most "commenteurs" agree

    SELL

    The fact that you are running your business out of your home, really means you don't have a business. It's time to take the plunge to the dark side and learn how it's done, then move on to your next business plan.

    If your alternative argument is that you don't care about making money, you should sell this distracting project and start writing FOSS code.

    Except it didn't have to be done. Trivializing someone else life for your own sordid motives is a bad way to do it. It shouldn't be done at all.

    I'm past judging other peoples morals, but I'm certainly not going to encourage poor taste.

    We're fucked economically, and have no manufacturing base to speak of.

    Q. What's 13% (percent of manufacturing) of 14,000,000,000,000 (GDP)?

    A. About the same as the TOTAL GDP of each of the next 10 nations.

  12. This was a smackdown on Rocket Hobbyists Prevail Over Feds In Court Case · · Score: 4, Interesting
    I found this to be a hollow victory. The bureaucrats at ATF were just too full of themselves to respond to the order of the court to clarify themselves the first time. So when they came back and told the Judge "we've explained enough" the Judge sent them packing. They came this '' close to making criminals of 12 year olds. They won't make the same mistake next time...(but their asshole lawyers probably will)

    United States Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit. - 437 F.3d 75 In defense of its unbounded comparative analysis, ATFE insists that it had no burden to make more particularized findings. The agency concedes that it "certainly could have conducted experiments or otherwise researched burn rates specific to APCP used in model rocket motors to bolster its conclusion that APCP is capable of deflagration," but claims that "nothing in the OCCA or the APA required it to do so." ATFE's Br. at 15. Unsurprisingly, then, rather than resting on concrete evidence to support its judgment, ATFE simply points to evidence relating to the properties of "rocket propellants" and claims deference on the basis of its presumed technical expertise and experience. The purported evidence cited by the agency does not support its determination in this case, and the cry for deference is hollow.

    When was that carbon last in the atmosphere?

    Almost the right question... Try this. When was that carbon last in the Ocean?

    When more people study what a solubility curve is, when they look at an energy emission spectrum of a CO2 molecule and then figure out why beer (even free) goes flat versus why insoluble carbonates form. And when they stop confusing cause and effect. , I,e, temperature and CO2%. Then they will discover - Most of the carbon is sitting at the bottom of the ocean and it's going to get a lot colder before it gets a lot warmer.

  14. Re:The meaning of the article is unclear on Red Hat Returns To the Linux Desktop · · Score: 1
    Maybe it's more accurate to say We left them, after we were invited to leave.

    The fact is I used to buy their boxed sets just as a show of support. While I agree Redhat has done more for Linux than anyone, when the PHB's decided my money wasn't good enough for them, I admit I was insulted first and nervous second. I wasn't going to risk my reputation on some wanna be RedHat called Fedora and neither would my business customers. So every machine I touch since gets CentOS for enterprise or Debian5.

    They can close the barn door, but the horse has left.

    Posters like unlametheweak will go out of their way to market themselves into irrelevance. These posters don't like being at the top, so they will do everything possible to get themselves modded down. I don't know why. I suppose they like commenting on their own posts.

    I'm pretty sure you got it right
    http://hubblesite.org/the_telescope/nuts_.and._bolts/instruments/wfpc2/index.php CCDs are electronic circuits composed of light-sensitive picture elements (pixels), tiny cells that, placed together, resemble a screen-door mesh. Each of the four CCDs contains 640,000 pixels. The light collected by each pixel is translated into a number. These numbers (all 2,560,000 of them) are sent to ground-based computers, which convert them into an image.
    Doesn't sound like the 486 is even breaking a sweat. Now considering this is slashdot, free as in er, free and all that, I would have opted for a "handful of these:" But that would make me feel WAY to old :)

    but they know space is very cold.

    They also know that in space no-one can hear you scream. Which is why I am glad he didn't tell me how much colder it is than a Library of Congress.

    I'm also a little worried if the string theorists get hold of this. I mean if they can extend moore's law by adding another dimension; quasi or otherwise, we will definitely run out of IP addresses before they hit the 11th!
