It is long time past my wave theory classes, but I believe you are right. The proof of speed change in different mediums was (as far as I can remember) based on wave model not on particle model and it is a general proof, that, it is applicable to light and other wave forms..
Assuming that you have complete control on the OS in question (assumption based on your definite guarantee that my data is safe in my phone, forever), can you please explain why such data I have not asked to be stored in the first place stored there. I fortunately have nothing to hide from my wife and boss, but I really would not like to see our competitors to access my meeting times and locations. I am in progress of switching to a safer smartphone, so I am not objective at the moment. However I really do not need to be objective in such a BS smelling situation
Israel already has an established software industry without aid from the US.
Most people (in SW industry) I know from Israel have their background in Silicon Valley and most companies have their background on people who met while working in States. Again most (if not all) do not have USA governmental support, but US private sector had lost lots of brilliant people to Israel software industry. While this is true for some other countries as well, I guess Israel has a bigger percentage when normalized in population etc.
Yes, now we have m4... I always wonder why they did not give up at m1, m2 or m3.... Nowadays people are obsessed with "what" the system should do, they do not care about "how". So if something unpredictable happens they try to solve it by rebooting....
I can't speak to the financial end of it, but I can tell you that despite my karma being "bad" for almost my entire stay, here, I have the checkbox. So, yeah, that's weird.
Can it be caused by the fact that contribution is giving comments, making posts etc. and karma is the evaluation of some random moderator about your "contribution". Take a discussion about apple vs. linux. Depending on the day and the phase of the moon, you would end up either at -1 or +5 if you have anything of value in your post.
You should use some mayonnaise, fresh onion and bread. If you like you can add yoghurt, horseradish paste and some aromatic sea weeds. Out of can:( t is a success not to puke.
Most Americans (most people in fact) would puke, if they saw how the "real" cheese made, and how it smells during the process.
I say this as an amateur cheese maker at home...
Moderation issue aside, the combined form of these two posts reminded me some business opportunity.

Exactly, and it is a very good solution when things get out of hand. At least once or twice a month I recycle swap in order to prevent an imminent freeze. Maybe every 4 or 5 months I lost the system state for I/O scheduling problems on my desktop. On the other hand, my servers usually reboot only during power maintenances and/or fried hardware cases...
BSD's not dead of course - look only to the Mach kernel in OS X for verification.
If you want to see how a desktop UNIX-based os should do it right, look at OS X. Say what you will about Apple - I don't care, only own a mac and an iPod (I have a Droid X for my phone) - but they did the desktop RIGHT. It's easy to use, fairly intuitive (passes the grandma test, for the most part), and is oh so easy to support.
I remember when I got my first macbook a few years back and I had a sprint wireless broadband card for it. I was thinking "you know, I should be able to make my mac a wifi base station and share my wireless". Preferences, sharing,.... oh, that was easy. And it worked.
Interestingly lots of people (including my wife and a number of fine arts graduates around her) do not realize that they are using a Unix system behind those shiny buttons and sliders. Do they need to know, what is a kernel, what is X and such? No, I do not think so. However if you know _and_ need you can start a terminal and start typing a cryptic series of charactes while people is watching you in amazement. This especially works, if you want to shutdown an ethernet in a _not so_ obvious way:)
More importantly (than interesting), Apple is doing something extremely correct and keeping their GUI intuative and (I do not know how, but) compatible with older OSs they released. Like the event you mentioned, after something like 10 years away from Mac environment, it took 2 or 3 minutes for me to have a secondary monitor connected, up and running with a macbook.
More to the point, related to the TFA, unfortunately I agree with it, on the point that Desktop is not a stronghold for Linux. The solution (if there would be any) will be in the form of a desktop manager, designed really professionally, probably not by geeks, and preferably by people who know users, and do not refer them as lusers, or talking about larting them etc.
I know this is a painful subject for some Chinese: Isn't it time that Chinese became an alphabetic language?
From the experience: No, never... In Turkey we switched from Arabic Script to Latin, nearly 80 years ago. A more simpler switch than your proposed "from characters to letters" switch. We lost all written history overnight. Yes, there are lots of people who still can read Arabic, but not the general population, I cannot read notes behind photos of my grandparents, I cannot read registration papers of our ancestral family home... It was a political decision back then, justified by the ease of learning Latin alphabet, but more harm done than benefits.
The patent would allow the carrier or any other 'authorized' party to disable or restrict the functionality of the device.
The patent would not allow disabling. Apple already have the ability to block any device that they like to brick (which I belive is illegal, although IANAL). The patent would prevent other producers to sell similarly trapped devices without paying some "fee" to Apple. Having a patent to a method does not mean you are legally entiteled to use that method.
I felt similarly. The paper, when I skimmed it (and have no intention to try to get involved in detail) , seemed more like a lecture note than a proof to me.
You basically have two options; You either are going to buy a cuttng edge device (higher frequency, digital interfaces, historical storage etc.) or you are going to buy a reliable second hand. The point is that the first alternative (obviously expensive, high-end equipment, that you will play with joy for a while) will become first regular(in six months) and then will become "old" (in a year). Also please keep in mind that damn things are robust and have long life spans, my mitsubishi from high school (1984, the holy year of big brother) is still in working order...
Aside from not spending so much, my (maybe mopre important) suggestion would be to go shopping with a reliable and portable signal generator in order to test the equipment. Do not rely on calibration signal and/or any other source the shop is offering to you for testing.

Huh. When did that comic hit everybody-reads-it-now status, anyways?
This depends on the definition of everybody I guess.

Computers do not bite you (yet) even if deeply annoyed by the way you act.
They are dong that for years, probably you are dong it wrong, you need to tell them that you are about to pull the plug...

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I wonder what is their payment rate for the ErrorDocument itself... Which probably contains more useful data than "original" pages themselves.
will force everything back into memory

Yea, we are getting older. Most of these kids have never seen a low level format utility that takes one day to format a 20 MB MFM disk.
At first It was mechanical punctures on floppies, then random laser marks on CD, now this...
His e-book has been near to a magnet...
Superb, I was thinking about how to explain this, in a short sentence. But you sir, showed that no explanation is necessary.
