I click a link in my rss reader to get to slashdot to see the summary, click though to TFA, and then I have to click through again to the damn list itself. I didn't even make it to the last part. F itworld.
Remember the turbo diesel Volvos from the 80's?! Those were real gutless pieces of shit. They had a low pressure turbo that pretty much was spun by the exhaust with next to nil output in the way of compression. Might as well throw a box fan into the loop. It might have worked better.
Can you imagine living in darkness your whole life and then see for the first time? It would be amazing to see that there is more to surfaces than just texture.
I was thinking the same exact thing, only you expanded on it further. The rogue planet theory seems to be more probable and simple. I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned in TFA.
I may not have a Les Paul, but the guitar I do have has humbucking pickups and a tune-o-matic bridge (That Les Paul invented). I appreciate his contributions and his dedication to his craft. Now I'm going to go play for a bit.
Nope. Not trolling. I would have done that under AC. Perhaps "fluke" was the wrong term but a suitable substitute escapes me.
I am familiar with the technology and I do find it impressive. I just want to see consistent results before declaring it a complete success. Next week it could find a new exoplanet all on its own and be as successful as the Hubble. No one knows for a fact.
This reminds me of the first time I went fossil hunting. I found a trilobite by accident. I haven't found one since. This planet is a fluke until consistent results can be established. I wish them the best of luck.
Could we please stop using the phrases "Face Off" and "Shootout" to spark interest for a simple product comparison. It seems so "SUNDAY! SUNDAY!! SUNDAY!!!"
I don't know if it's been mentioned already or not, but Multisim from National Instruments is a very good software. It's been used by the professors at the school where I work for as long as I can remember.
I have better things to do than to see everything you do on the internet. Stop being so damn paranoid.
"We want a system that does all of these whiz-bang things, but we don't want to pay for it."
User walks into my office and says "How many memories do I need to install Windows 95 to my motherboard?" [The answer is 72MB but a rather uneducated question]
I absolutely hate when users ask for inane changes to Group Policy without understanding that it affects everyone.
People who assume setting-up a WoW server on company property is OK.
Restoring accidentally deleted files from backups and then the user still complains about how much of their work ISNT in the snapshot.
Other admins who use new technology (often buggy) just for the sake of using it and really have no clue that the current way of doing things works.
Users who read the forbidden texts and know enough to be dangerous.
It's within a company's best interest to cannibalize their own products. It was somewhat of a failure in this situation in that the market share previously held by XP wasn't overwhelmingly overtaken by Vista. Instead, of that segment of Vista non-adopters, the market share went to Apple or Linux or, more often than not, back to XP.
Use nlite and then read your post. There is a whole lot that can be stripped out of an XP install set. I've installed it on as little as a 500MB footprint with no loss to the user experience.
It's ignorant to think that the future will all run on VMs, clouds, moonbeams and sunshine. All of that has to run on physical equipment somewhere. There is no such thing as something that exists 100% in the ether. It has to reside somewhere. These are physical ones and zeros we're talking about here.
With it residing somewhere, there has to be someone to design, build and maintain that equipment.
Also when companies see how big of a dip the performance of their critical apps take when they migrate to VMS, I can see a shift back to the racks and racks of servers.
The thing breathes more air in a minute than I do in a week at top speed. If you know how a petrol engine works and that doesn't give you a hardon, please cut your man card up.
If I only had mod points... This raises a question as to whether or not an idea of this magnitude comes to fruition through scientific means (not sexy) or political means (sexy to Al Gore).
Yes, it may power a civilization... but to what end? If it means stronger tornadoes in the midwest, it could be both tragic and expensive. The natural resources used to produce such a device would be somewhat trivial compared to usual consumption, but what impact would this have on us common folk?

Good God! THE VLANS! A "show vlans" command would take all day to execute and print out to be thicker than War and Peace.

Class Y, or demon class.

I seem to remember trying out a mouse like device in the 90's that moved the courser with thought. Whatever happened to those?

If the MP/RIAA can sue over theft of their intellectual property, why can't we? About damn time.

A server worth running a bunch of VMs on costs way more per line item than their current setup. It's the hidden cost of the unicorns that aren't said.

More software to consciously deny in WSUS. I thought The "Genuine Advantage Notification Tool" was bad enough.
I think the MS part of your MSN citation cites more bias than the N part. Of course, I could be wrong.
Now you're just being irrational.
Wlfram Alpha answers the age-old question "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?" correctly.
