I used to have a 1200dpi Lexmark printer I had bought new sometime around 1994. It was PostScreipt and I eventually setup Ghostscript on the server to do the rendering and shoot out the resulting bitmap to the printer. That made it so much faster, that I gave it an extra couple of years of service before I sprung for a new $129 Samsung ML-2570 PS printer.
But the first-world lifestyle consumes vast amounts of energy. Energy production has peaked. So how does the third world get their cars and roads and air conditioning and TV sets?
Indeed. The idea of 6 billion people living 'off the land' is a nightmare.
Right now, the North American died consumes 10 kcal of petroleum energy for each 1 kcal which we eat. Who pays the ultimate price of peak oil? Those currently living on $2 per day.
Indeed. Considering that SCO would be out of business now if it wasn't for this ridiculous case, I consider this legal move shockingly creative from a financial standpoint. Also, I would say it is crudely unethical and is clearly riding the wave of corporate corruption to its eventual conslusion perhaps 10 years from now.
Kerning is doable with html, but it's value is dubious for screen resolutions except for very large letterforms. An example here. Check out the code. Very pedestrian.
This acquisition is good for stockholders because Adobe can now stop mollycoddling their fussbudget customers, raise their prices and increase profitability. All that remains in the way of even more plentiful profits is to acquire Quark.
For those of you in the "let's run linux on a toaster!" contingent this is fantastic, since you now have the fun challenge open to you of screwing with Darwin and getting an unauthorized port of Mac OS/x86 running on your athlons or whatever you kids are using these days.
Screw Darwin, I say. We have the Mac on Linux project.
I've seen AWOL Bush's 'energy plan' and I can tell you it does very little except put cash into the pockets of very large Texas energy corps. It does nothing to foster reduced demand for imported oil. Go and drink your MTBE now.
Maybe software RAID is fine for desktop machines (as tested in the article) and maybe it is fine for dedicated fileservers. But hardware RAID and hardware SCSI RAID in particular are leaps and bounds more useful for anything but those two mentioned situations.
You're right that four drives in a software RAID setup will incurr four times the interrupts as a hardware RAID setup. Also, people tend to ignore seek times of SCSI drives which translate to greater I/Os per second -- something actually desireable in a multi-tasking, multi-user environment.

Old 3.5 Kmail -> mbox,
New Kmail -> akonadi -> neopunk -> mysql -> database.
It's simply a stupid waste of electrons. Just think of the extra carbon footprint if KDE was running 1 billion computers.
I was just by their website the other day and the Trinity folks are quite active.

Shops that embraced Active Directory and Outlook and the rest of Microsoft's proprietary stuff are stuck with Microsoft. Sorry.
And, most pathetic of all, is instead of expanding HP India's existing facilites and capabilities, they hired third-party outsourcing firms.

Canadian oilsands are processed using huge amounts of natural gas. North American natural gas supplies have peaked.

Where's the revenue source? Is it Career Builder? Classified ads?

Well... I bet he's going to be the lead software engineer for Google-AOL's awesome new browser !

Kudos Adobe!
Group-Office is much better than Exchange's 'calendar' in my opinion.
The problem isn't that you're not being told how to do things, it is that you're haven't learned how to learn things.
These studies are for making sure that all the dumbest admins stay with Windows.
You're correct. It takes a lot of energy to generate the wealth needed to pay extra for the hybrid.
It surprises me how crappy science seems to be a fav in Nerddom. Can't we get scientific about energy anymore?
Once HP's layoff are finally finished, then only the very best forard-looking, productive, gung-ho employees will remain.
Aren't we supposed to be outraged before the friggin' law is passed instead of after? What a waste.
And don't forget, AP, Reuters and BBC have RSS feeds. The so-called mainstream media of paper and TV is going to die, save for the ignorant Luddites.

I agree. 32-bit will be obsolete by the time they will release their alleged Intel machine in 2006.
