Not a Linux thing, but a UNIX thing from way back. Any Unix user on a Unix-like O/S would instinctively middle-click to paste what she just highlighted.
I, for one, miss that feature whenever I use Windows.
A good analogue to mpeg2 capture card along with an ir blaster does the trick fine for me. Of course, a decent budget friendly card only supports at best s-video input. Won't be long though before we start to see cost effective analogue component (YUV or RGB) capture cards available. (I know they exist. I said "cost effective").
Optical networks nowadays are not simple point-to-point fiber links. What researchers are forever working on, are ways to move more and more of the network (including switching and routing like functionality) into the optical domain. We are not talking about simply mux/demux of multiple wavelengths on a single link. We are talking about optical routers and switches.
This is not about traffic congestion but about eliminating electronics as much as possible from the network. An all-optical network is faster and less complicated. Going optical to electrical and back to optical again adds latency, and it is difficult to get electronics to operate as fast as you can push the optical signal.
Wrong again. Is this the same AC that I replied to or another one? Please don't add to the confusion about why there is a concept of Dark Matter. I call it a concept, because we don't know what it is. Perhaps a better term would be "Matter that has gravitational effects but DOES NOT interact electromagnetically", so as not to confuse people like yourself. THERE IS A FORM OF MATTER THAT DOES NOT INTERACT WITH LIGHT. They call it dark matter.
I am not a physicist, but please do look into the matter (excuse the pun) before you make authoritative sounding comments like "The problem is the distance".
I do have mod points, but thought I'd have a crack at this one. I look forward to be corrected.
Saturn and Earth interact with light, and so an alien may be able to observe them through their effect on radiation coming from the sun. Dark matter would have no such effect and would be observable only by gravitational effects it may have on light and/or nearby objects.
So to sum up, an alien would not need to use the idea of dark matter to account for Saturn or Earth.
Which raises the question: What are the competition watchdogs around the world going to do about this?
Here in Australia, ASUS has somehow managed to price its Eee PC 900 with XP Home cheaper than the Linux version by about $50. They claim that it is justified by the difference in storage capacity (12 GB in the XP version versus 16 GB in the Linux one).
This reeks of anti-competitiveness, yet not a word to be heard from the ACCC (Australia's consumer and competition watchdog).
Most of the posts are going to be about a lightweight RDBMS like sqlite. I suspect however, what you are actually looking for is a fully fledged GUI frontent ala MS Access, but lightweight and F/OSS. Is that what you a really asking for?
I am Catholic. I pray. I don't believe that in the history of humanity, God has ever intervened "super-naturally". I don't believe there is such a thing as "super-natural".
I'm sure this will raise some questions for you, such as, "so how do you call yourself a Catholic?" or "so why do you even pray?". The answer to both those questions is IT IS NOT ANY OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS your rude prick!
For some people, religion is about a lot more important things than fanciful stories or strange ceremonies. I don't think a person like you would ever have the slightest clue though.
Miami attorney Jack Thompson, however, claims that heâ(TM)s depicted in the game and wants out.
You mean it is not the Aussie actor Jack Thompson?? This whole time I swear I thought it was the actor. All these fucking years I just assumed it was the same Jack Thompson until I actually for once in my life RTFA. All the jokes about the Aussie actor and I still didn't get it, I though it was him.
Let that be a lesson to all you kids out there: RTFA!
Don't try to pass yourself off as intelligent and objective when you throw in comments like this:
After all, he's probably responsible for a hell of a lot children being molested and teenagers giving birth to unwanted children. You are no better than the guy trying to implicate the Pope with the Nazis.
A memristor is a passive, two port element that "remembers" how much current has passed through it. That is, its resistance depends on how much current has previously passed through it.
Artificial memristors have been fabricated in labs using active elements (that require a power source, just like a transistor), to demonstrate its operation and potential application.
TFA is interesting, because this is the first time a real memristor has been demonstrated. i.e. it uses no active elements and requires no external power to actually behave like a memristor.
Thirdly, so what! Why not ship it anyway with a release note saying "Don't use with DRMS!". Not much good if Automatic Update installs without asking first. I didn't even read TFA but its pretty clear from the summary that that is what is being addressed here.
Slashdot Mirror
Does that mean that it should be also made available to two billion of my neighbors on Internet?
No. But there should be no law stopping it.
If so, is it too much for me to ask that at least I am identified by initials rather than full name?
No. But there should be no law requiring it.
Now all they need to do is ban SPAM emails...

it would seem more logical to recycle the fuel rods as water heating devices
I don't think anyone would dare to try selling "radioactively heated water" for domestic consumption.
If you run two of these processes on a dual core machine then each will get 100% of each core.

Injecting TCP RST packets is not traffic shaping. It is sneaky interference with legitimate network access.
Ok, so I've got some sand... now what do I do?
This is Web 3.0 right?
Go ahead, Troll, Flamebait, Off Topic, take your pick.

How about some software that you train with scans of your handwriting and it generates a vector font based on your own handwriting.
Now that would be cool.

It doesn't get any more succinct than that.
