[we know] less than 2 million distinct species with from 10 million to more than 100 million still undiscovered. Likening this dearth of information to doing chemistry knowing only one third of the periodic table...
Seems to this non-biologist that it's more like knowing only 1/5th to 1/50th (or to be more precise, 1/50th to 1/5th) of the periodic table...
The national alliance (no link, for obvious reasons), a neonazi group, has a game based on the genesis3d engine called racial cleansing. You kill jews, blacks, latinos etc. for points.
Not quite GPL'ed, but a nifty single-disk solution. I liked it better than LRP since it has built in support for PPPoE, important to us Verizon lusers.
I honestly fail to see how anyone could disagree with this. A common interface to help newbies, and retaining the customization power that makes linux great... just don't make it another OS X ripoff.. PLEASE!
This looks like it has a lot of promise... not so much for regular use so much as emergencies. Laptops have some pretty high power drain sometimes... I'd imagine that a device that can power one for 4 times it owns usage time must require a good deal of input power, aka, work (or the dreaded e (exercise) word).
"The special operations AC-130 Spectre gunship, whose conventional weaponry has been used to devastating effect since the Vietnam War, is to be fitted with a laser that can shoot down missiles, punch holes in aircraft and knock out ground radar stations."
IIRC, use of lasers to kill/wound/maim/blind soldiers is illegal under international law. Not to say it's never done, but as a recongnized capability-- I doubt it. Besides, the article only says it'll be (intended to be) used against hard targets.
Re: Edwards...
Didn't some guy sue him for his fraudulant presentation of the show? I.e., this guy was in the audience, and they'd splice clips of him saying something, Edwards responding, and the guy nodding approvingly. The viewer therefore thought he was agreeing: except that the "yesses" were to other statements. IIRC, he (the guy) also wrote about how they sat in the audience for about 2 hours before the show started, so the producers could eavesdrop on people and listen for what people wanted to hear...
I think it's interersting that paypal both created (and jumped on) a new marketplace: easy, convenient, secure online funds transfers _for_the_little_guy_. Thanks to Paypal, instead of paying 2-3% to Visa/MC (Amex is the worst: it used to be 7% surcharge) and getting a credit card scanner, anyone could accept credit cards. But then they blew it. Poor security, aweful customer service... I was an early adopter, and really liked the service when it came out. They saw a market, assessed the needs, and then... ignored them. Oh Paypal, what happened? You could have been so great... but now they're just one of a thousand.
So Bush's art of simplicity is trickling down to government reports that "People Use Internet".
Seriously... I voted for Bush, and think he's doing quite a good job (not perfect, but compared to slick willy... excellent).. it's titles like this that question his administration's competance, though;)
did they also ignore the court order to remove the spyware? What? There was no such order... well.. there damn well should've been... I want to use KaZaa!
Yes, this is a joke, I know they need to make money somehow.
to all the people thinking xterm... why bother? Just go vnc! I use that on my audreys... it's much more reliable, and the only speed problems are if I try to animate something (which cheap LCDs aren't good for anyway)
I don't know the exact reason why... I barely know anything about shell scripting... but some shells that say/bin/sh will only work on my system if they use bash. Ash fails due to some difference in how it handles parentheses or file names or something... hopefully someone who knows shell scripting can elaborate;)
globalization is what JonKatz (tm) is/was/will be against. What more do we need to know?
Of course, I thought it was one of the following:

So?
'Nuff said.
Got one better.

Microsoft's Q-Basic. Can't be compiled, can't be double-clicked (tm).
Not to be confused with QuickBasic, which can be compiled.

...network accessible _darts_. Now those had better be secured-- I don't want anyone cracking into my sharp pointy object collection
I'm a little confused... how does this differ from what they currently do with the "featured (or is it sponsered, I forget) link"?

Well, duh.
Actually, that's not quite true. The Halloween episodes are non-canonical.

900,000 Web pages' worth data that's Google provides... Google's complete billion-Web-page store.

Hmmm. Either this guy can't count... or google gained 100K web pages in the time it took to write that paragraph

Am I the only one who finds that headline remarkably out of place?
Columbia has something similar.. my future brother-in-law was a grad student writing some code for it. It's from their Natural Language Project.
