If we're the aliens we're looking for, then maybe the theory of Dyson Spheres applies to Earth. Only we live on the outside of the sphere instead of inside. Perhaps we are the one's we're looking for.
Isn't it just like automobile manufacturers to include new and novel safety features and governments say "OOOO! Let's make all our cars have that!". Hasn't that been the case with first seat belts, then airbags, then ABS, then traction control, then side-curtain airbags, now this crap. You can't get a new imported car street legal in the United States anymore without having all this unnecessary junk installed first. I'll just stick with my seat belts and airbags. If you're not a dupe behind the wheel, most of these "safety features" will go unused.
Accident avoidance is all up to the driver and it is their responsibility to know whether they are "good to drive" or not. This gadget seems to me to be an in for Big Brother to tell me when I can and can't drive. On a hot sunny day, my hands are going to sweat profusely. Will that cause me to not make it to work on time? I serve alcoholic beverages to people and then give them a safe ride home as a DD. Does that mean that my passengers will have to drive themselves home because I may smell of alcohol? This system undoubtedly has its flaws. I'm just waiting for some government stooge to make it mandatory.
It would be really cool if it found a frozen mammoth like this one. Of course it also has an equal chance at drilling-through to the inner sanctuary of the Q Continuum while there on Mars.
With the added expense of a TV, these systems aren't exactly going to be $200 now are they? Just a reminder: a system is all the parts working together to make something that is useful.
This is good an all on paper, but in practice, this is going to cost tons of taxpayer money (that doesn't exist) and will not directly benefit Joe Taxpayer out in West Bufu, Wayne County.
For future note, don't blame me: I didn't pick a school administrator to be governor. That's my $0.02
Nope all Windows. The reliability will be compromised by the security flaws of Windows. Meanwhile the stability will be also compromised as a result of the OpenMosix Windows port Beta that they will use.
"Many ideas revolve around so-called "mesh networks", which link many computers to create more powerful, reliable connections to the internet" Sounds like Web 3.0 will be built on one massive Beowulf Cluster after another connected together by a "series of tubes".
I was actually saying it to be insightful. I just put two and two together. I didn't know that there was a document already published on the matter. I'm not a Mac user. I just follow the technology.
What's the point of all of this? It's all about what people prefer. If I like Apple enough to take a second mortgage on my house to get one, you better believe I would learn to like it. And if I just plain hated M$ but didn't have the means to get Unix in Mac form factor, I would install Ubuntu. (Or in my case Fedora) What did this really accomplish?
I was homeschooled and had no social life. High IQ coupled with almost no social interaction with those of the opposite sex... thank God almighty for internet pr0n.

I'm talking about a car worth importing... like a "made for the Autobahn" Audi or a TVR. Cheaper models, why bother?
...exactly. That is what would make it so... ummm... 1337!

Maybe they should be hacked and have the admin password changed to 31337
If you were a PhD, you know you would be a total dick about it too. I know I would!

Isn't Goatse the reason why /. started with the site name after links in the first place?
I can see he's gotten a little bit better at letting people adjust to the new Kernel point updates.
On OpenSuse 10.3... love it.
I'm wondering with all the Enzite and Viagra ads they've been sending me... HOW DID THEY KNOW!?
Doppelgänger. Enough said...
lol! I was talking about places like the area between Dalton and Orrville.

Oh! So you're a Mac fanboy AND a troll.

Why not just buy a computer with no OS or build a computer and install Linux on it? This really seems like a non-issue.
hmmmm I lacked the funds for a Fraternity. Thanks for sharing your college experience with us. Hope they find a cure for your itch.

Could you imagine a Beowulf Cluster of these? I mean, doesn't OpenMosix run on BSD? What's good for the goose...
This is news... The terrorists have less of a life than we do!
