You just need one CD. plug it in the server, use a floppy with the MAC addresses of the clients and server ip. DONE! 15 PCs (with different hardware!!) here boot from a single CD in the server, no setup, no nothing, it just works. Nobody can fuck up the system, no hackers, no kiddies in the kiosk. It's amazing. Zero maintanence.
I think a secretary or any other corporate desktop user must comply with corporate directives. The corporation (as some governments seem to have done already) must realize, that a closed data format will always be insecure. I cannot understand how any company can publish word documents on the web, or sne dthem to customers/partnres, where sensitive information might be hidden in the.doc which is not easily visible for the user.
That said, I think a smooth migration path is a GoodThing. Good Luck Linux.
The moon was original part of Earth that was torn off.
Most likely, but not proven AFAIK.
It's not a perfect sphere so one side was pulled on more than the other This is wrong. Tidal locking requires dissipative effects, i.e. the moon must have become solid after the locking was finished. rotational energy was transfered to intrinsic energy, i.e. heat.
So, I'm wondering if the LaGrange (sorry bout the spelling folks) points are completely stable
In a perfect two body system. The lagranian point is stable. In our solar system, not even a normal orbbit is stable. So any station at L1 would need to correct it's possition once in a while. But this is already true for ISS. No problem.
Can somebody try to explain the connection between the various applications? What are the specific tasks of Maya/Blender/Liquid/Renderman? What does Liquid do, what is not already included in tools which come with Renderman? What role plays Blender?
Qt/Mac runs on Mac OS X. It uses the native Carbon API and does not require any special libraries.
Qt/Mac can be used with Apple's Project Builder and the gcc compiler that is shipped with Mac OS X.
I used gtk for a while and now switched to Qt. It is just wonderful. I can just recommend it to anyone who is willing to use C++/perl/pyth/ruby or so. It is pretty solid, and (wit exeption of the moc-precesser) very beautyfully designed. It is portable and available on Win/Unix/Linux/MacX.
I ported some of our apps to Qt/Mac. Well, I recompiled the Qt stuff and the porting was related to other parts.
Even though many people don't seem to realize, it Qt is fully GPL. The plain, good ol GPL. So if you project is GPL it is a very good choice. If not, you probably have the money to pay and it is still a good choice.
I work on a High Energy Physics Experiment. We use a single CVS repository for a project with 1324 packages and 2,410,111 Total Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) and aproxiamteley 200 committers. CVS works. Not optimal but it does. However a small part of the project contains binary files and CVS was completely unusable. I don't see why CVS should not work for the Linux kernel. There are not many committers, almost no binary files and the Linux folks are used to be quite disciplined about their patches. I know some of Linus' arguments against CVS, but frankly I don't understand one half and have other opinion abot the other half.
Dresden - Oh that's right the Germans were at war with the US and committing genocide against an entire race of people. Fuck 'em.
Read the original post again. The people killed in Dresden were civilians, refugees. And, as a matter of fact, the war was already over at that time. Some people say (and I heard this from a US citizen) US didn't want valuable german technologie to fall into russian hands (FYI Dresden is in the former GDR), and was time was short and the red army already there, they just blew it away.
Cheers from Dresden, Peter
BTW: Anyway, Germany can be _very_ happy that US freed Germany from the Nazi regime. I don't want to imagine what ould have happened if they just tried to impose some embargo, or send 'inspectors'.
Re:Agreed: Why did it take Red Hat to do this?

KDE Gets The Hat
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
I almost agree with you, but
Unfortunately, they can't as easily do much about the apps themselves.
Why not? they are free to contribute to KDE (and they do) and they a free to contribute to GNOME (and they do). So why don't they contrubite interoperability to both? I guess they will sooner or later. Hopefully sonner.
He did get a measurable increase, but it was too little to be more than measurement error.
Do you realize that your statement does not make any sense? If he got not more than a measurement error could acount for, then he did not get a measurable increase.
This is utter nonsense. Every serious scientist looks at all kinds off theories. (I have a PhD in prticle physics and concider myself a scientist).
Read Holographic Universe
Don't. It is not worth the paper it was printed on. This is NOT natural science. Science works: a) Hypothesis -> b) Experiment -> c) (no)Agreement -> someone else reproduce c) -> next Hypothesis.
Please notice the "Experiment" part. Just mumbling nonsense noone can prove and making experiments in your backyard noone can reproduce is NOT science. (This also means that those String Theorists have a big problem, cuz they cannon find something to measure, but they are aware of that and working on it)
It has been done in many ways. If you use QED you are solving path integrals. i.e. integrating over all possible ways from initial state to final state. This takes interference into account. Using two paths in a spectrometer is nocthing else, just a little more 'show-effect'.
Except that the powerpoint viewr is removing the last charakter of the first directory I open, everything works REALY nice. But let's be pc and don't click on the MS button to often. mpeg/divX is your friend.
Frankly, I don't think that is very new.
CG here, CG there, in principle there is only little difference between Mickey Mouse and Aki Ross. Actually Mickey played in much more movies, has more fan clubs, has a start in the walk of fame, has her foot prints in front of the chinese theatre, was guest in talkshows.
Ok, I agree Duckburg is not New York or Tokyo and Mickey is not as hot as Aki (well, depends on your sexual orientation:), but I think the step has been done quite some time ago.
"maximum attenuation length of ice exceeds 24 meters"
Does _not_ mean, that the light can travel a maximum of 24 meters. The intensity is just reduced to 1/e. For IceCube the attenuation length is expected to be at about the string spacing (100-125 meter). That means, that you can see the light emitted at one side of the detector on the other side (1km) (assuming you start with a reasonable amount of light, e.g. from a muon from neutino interaction)
In many present and (not so far) future experiments in HEP we deal with this kind of data rate. A nice overview can be found here here.
On page 14 you can find the data valume. It is at about 100 TB for present experiments (I am with BaBar).
page 25 gives some overview on the hardware we use at BaBar/SLAC (e.g. farms of STK Powderhorn tape silos with 6000 tapes each, etc..).
page 95 gives an overview on data rates. ATLAS records at 100Hz and 1MB per event, i.e. 100MB/s
Page 99 gives overview of the (estimated) costs of hardware and tapes for LHC experiments. They are in the order of 20 MCHF (Mega Swiss Franks ~ 0.8 Mega Dollar) initial + 10 MCHF per year. We use a mixture of large RAID farms and tape silos. Everything is managed by HPSS (High Performance Storage System). From my experience at BaBar I can tell you that these numbers are underestimated by at least a factor of 2.
1. Be precise. I guess when you say SUSY you mean MSSM (Minimal Supersymmetric StandardModell).
2. There are enough free parameters in other SUSY scenarios to tune the Higgs to whatever mass you like.Upper limits on the Higgs mass are derived from cosmology, and are not directly computable from underlying models on particle level
3. They might have 200GeV sqrt(s) but that does not mean they have 200GeV for single Higgs production. There is actually not very much energy left to produce a Higgs, when see all the dirt that is produced in a heavy Ion collision.
This happens all the time with foreign pharmacies that sell steroids to US citizens.
And all the time US tries to stop foreign companies from exporting.
Do you think before writing?
Yes I do, do you, too? And do you check the facts? Are you actually aware about the hundreds of cases were US tries to impise US law on foreign countries?? You know what "ignorance" means??

To be precise Qt/X11 is GPL. There is a Qt/Win non-commercial version, but I guess you have to pay for Qt/Mac.
It runns just fine. porting from Linux to Mac? No, just recompile.
I used gtk for a while and now switched to Qt. It is just wonderful. I can just recommend it to anyone who is willing to use C++/perl/pyth/ruby or so. It is pretty solid, and (wit exeption of the moc-precesser) very beautyfully designed. It is portable and available on Win/Unix/Linux/MacX.

This is amazing! Playing Pong on a twelve story building! And they even have a Gimp plugin!
