I really have difficulty in beleiving this. Even here in god-fearing catholic Ireland, everyone I know thinks that creationism is bunk. The only thing I can think of is that they stood in the middle of the street and shouted, "Anyone like to give their views on Creationism and Intelligent Design?" That way they would only have got the religious nuts who espouse this pre-enlightenment throwback. Even the Vatican says that Intelligent Design is not science.
I think I'm right in saying that most people here would thank Sony for allowing them to buy the Playstation 3. A large percentage of us are looking forward to spending our money on it when it is finally launched.
However, it's interesting to see the Forbes' take on the release: In a bid to revive its game division, Sony plans to release its next-generation stand-alone PlayStation 3 game console in the spring.
Funny how a slightly different viewpoint casts a whole new light on a subject...
I have Firefox with the excellent Web Developer extension installed. This lets you edit and change CSS on the fly, amongst other things. Each of the sections (games, apple, IT etc) seem to have their own CSS overlay. Kill that, and the page reverts to standard green.
What you need is another, similar bot with a flat top and a forklift-type arrangement on front. Then you can get a lifter bot and a normal bot working in cooperation to get stuff onto a table etc.
Now imagine a tower of these things...
ps. I think I've just worked out where this idea came from. Remember the episode of Futurama, where Fry, Leela and Bender are trying to escape from the robot planet, and the robots chasing them start stacking themselves on top of one another, before crashing to the ground because the bottom one slipped on the shipment of lugnuts?
It is official; Netcraft confirms: aardwolf204 is dying
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered aardwolf community when IDC confirmed that aardwolf market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that aardwolf has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. aardwolf is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict aardwolf's future. The hand writing is on the wall: aardwolf faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for aardwolf because aardwolf is dying. Things are looking very bad for aardwolf. As many of us are already aware, aardwolf continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
aardwolf204 is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time aardwolf204 developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: aardwolf204 is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
aardwolf203 leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of aardwolf203. How many users of aardwolf204 are there? Let's see. The number of aardwolf203 versus aardwolf205 posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 aardwolf205 users. aardwolf206 posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of aardwolf205 posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of aardwolf206. A recent article put aardwolf204 at about 80 percent of the aardwolf market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 aardwolf204 users. This is consistent with the number of aardwolf204 Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, aardwolf204 went out of business and was taken over by aardwolf207 who sell another troubled OS. Now aardwolf207 is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that aardwolf has steadily declined in market share. aardwolf is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If aardwolf is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. aardwolf continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, aardwolf is dead.
Actually the Happy Heinys are made in San Diego. We just get them shipped here to Ireland to resell them. Fuzzi Bunz are from the UK tho. Then there's Wonderoos, Bambino Mio, Tots Bots and Minki, who make the Minki Slinki and the Minki Huggle:-)
To those of you who have actually managed to reproduce:
By the time you are getting around to worrying about hot laptops, the damage may already be done. Disposable nappies have been shown to increase scrotum temperature to 1 degree above body temp - and a scrotum should be BELOW body temp. This article in the Australian ABC news site from the same wire story references the problem. I know it's a small scall study, but think about it: a few hours a week with a hot laptop on your lap, compared to two to three YEARS locked inside a plastic bag, during a vital developmental stage. On report I saw pointed out that the decline in male sperm counts coincides with the introduction of disposable nappies.
My 6 month old boy is kept almost entirely in washable nappies, of the type made by Happy Hienys, Fuzzi Bunz, etc. They are as convenient as disposables to put on, much neater than the terry squares you would traditionally associate with washable nappies, and they just work.
Now the shameless plug: We have been so impressed with these nappies that my wife is setting up to sell them at babyaloo.com. The site isn't up yet, but it will be in a couple of days.
Oh for god's sake. Look. You didn't know what Zope was, so you went to find out. Which you managed admirably. But... this is/. man. Finding out about new stuff is why we're all here. Do you actually think there are people reading this article who are incapable of finding out for themselves?
Or are you just showing off your 1337 detective skilz to get over the insecurity caused by your lack of knowledge?
I slipped a disk last year, and was out of work (lying on the ground!) for a total of 5 months in two stretches. What's helped me is a combination of Yoga and a kneeling chair. The chair cost about 75, and I can sit on it nearly all day without back pain. Give me an hour and a half in a normal office chair and I start getting twinges. I am a complete convert.
Yes indeedy, and it's all made easier by rdiff-backup, a set of python scripts which allows you to very simply backup and restore files. Then you can even put a web front end on it with my very own POS^H^H^HPHP script rdiff-backup-web!

For a second there, i thought you meant BNFL, who do move a lot of stuff by rail, but you don't want it derailing...
I am quite happy with my Nokia NGage as a book reader. The screen is a little small, but it's remarkably clear and with Mobipocket reader, it's just simple. Files copy over with a standard USB, you can put MMC cards into it, and I always carry it around anyway. I used to have a phone and a Palm M105 for books, so this is real convergence.
