It's just another form. I basically don't care which one they use, but the reward of the community could have serious effect on the integrity of article neutrality. There is where I kind of agree. (Not that it would be there for more controversial stuff anyway).
As far as I know there is only one thing in life that is somewhat 100% GUARANTEED, and that is, that it ends. Everything else is just a question on probability.
To go back to the topic: If you don't trust your ISP (legitimate thing) then you should encrypt the data before sending.
If you use a sophisticated encryption algorithm (like AES or serpent) and then send it out, then the listeners will have some problems reading the data. You probably even could use public BT in such a case with rsync'ed.torrent files.
To go back to my original topic, the smartest thing to do is to lower the probability of data infiltration. So use a IPSec'ed VPN to send out encrypted form of the archives via rtorrent.
But the article is right in one point: Windows is continuously loosing ground, slowly. At least for the moment. The question is when does it reach a critical point at which application developers start to create their applications for more then just one dominant platform? We are not really there yet. Maybe in 5-10 years if the current tendency prevails.
At some point major software just starts to get developed in a cross-platform fashion which will also trigger better cross-platform frameworks and eventually catalyze the process, but I don't think this will happen until Windows looses another 10%.
It's basically about economy: when does the target audience on non-windows platforms reach the point at which the development for that platforms get profitable.
Don't get me wrong, I particularly hate Microsoft philosophy and products, but I still try to figure out reasonable probabilities. But I'm also no oracle, so I will just lean back in my seat and enjoy the show (misery) from my Linux box.
Regular tap water has a small amount of minerals, whereas distilled water (which this is, I presume) has none. Those minerals are actually rather critical.
Fail. No, they are not critical or even useful for humans. The theory that water with no minerals is toxic is outdated and proven wrong. Hell, I was drinking water out of a reverse-osmosis filter system for months with PPM values below 5 (PPM = parts per million, denotes one part per 1,000,000 parts). Guess what, I'm still alive. Actually I feel quite good. The human body actually only absorbs minerals in non organic form when it has no other choice (i.e. you are only eating junk food with no useful minerals in it). If you are eating fruits and vegetables every once in a while your body will mostly ignore the minerals in water.
Agree. General purpose software (like OS, basic OS tools, admin tools, etc.) is the place where people scratch their itches and will continue to be superior to the commercial alternatives. If there is a problem in this field, that is making an itch, then it probably gets an open source solution fast.
Non the less, there are the areas the open source people are less interested in. For example they don't care much about accounting or process control for a special solution because it might be either boring or too special. This is one major point where paid development is required, because no open source alternatives pop up.
Also software that requires more skill then just programming and problem solving, like art will most likely stay off range of oss, because most artists and other non CS craftspeople are not engaged in this kind of thinking. Mostly games come to mind in this area.
Having a third family of kernels available is probably a lot less important than having a second one.
For the major kernels I'm counting 7:
Linux, BSD/Darwin, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, QNX, Win..
Probably forgot some, but the point is, that this kind of number is ok, could also be more, but not less. I mean, some also have kind of specialized uses and the larger number of kernels also ensures, that somebody cares about standards (because if that would not be the case, then the whole tool set for every platform wold be need complete reimplementation - and yes, we are doing this for a well known platform and it is cumbersome to work around the problem instead of solving it).
Why would you want to search for acronyms. I immediately found it when I was googling for "Vortex Induced Vibrations for Aquatic Clean Energy".
No, seriously, there must be a better way. Something not involving 3 trillion acronym's. Thought about something along the line of using human understandable sentences. In this case for example it could be something like "Weird looking generator for slow currents"
Yes, that is a good idea, just lock everything down.. but wait a sec. what do you need computers in a classroom then in the first place.
Maybe it would use something, if the teachers would get some education on how to educate the kids with modern technology. For example the kids could get an assignment and use the Internet as resource.. and to threaten them to use if for something practical you could tell them, that if they mess up the assignment, they will have to use this alien thigys next time, also called books.
Also, please let children sit in front of computers 24/7 and get a healthy portion of electro smog.. you know, everything that does not kill those pesky creatures only makes their suffering last longer.
You should have pirated it, then copied it to 50 of your friends, then bought a legal copy of it and complain about pirates ripping the un-DRM-ed game. That would eventually qalify as irony.
Basically the N8xO standby is only screen switched of. If you have an IM session through a bluetooth connection (example your mobile phone) you can easly get to those values and instanly get notified via sound or display. Entirely different with WiFi, which dries your battery fast no matter what.
My N800 has quite good standby times even with a not so new battery (about 1 week or so). Bluetooth is also fine. Using it as audio player gives me about one day. WiFi (even at default 10mW) gives me only a few hours and at 100mW I can nearly observe the battery bar vanishing. Of course a new device with a new battery will perform better.
What is it with you Windows folks repeating the same meme over and over again. Starts to get a bit tiresome. Don't like it, don't use it. But please show a bit more mature behaviour than an elemenaty school kid.

Flash runs just fine on the Nokia 800 series (ARM based). And because it has more similarity to a phone then to a desktop, I would not want to even try running EVE on it, controling that with a stylus would probably be kind of cumbersome. Ps. same goes for netbooks.
Slashdot Mirror
None of them has a normal middle button which is nice for select/pasting in X11. Have to stay with emulation..
But seriously, is Slashdot morphing to primary advertising site now?
Hey, is begging for donations for months no advertisement? Then what?
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/advertisement says on advertisement:
1: the act or process of advertising
2: a public notice ; especially : one published in the press or broadcast over the air
It's just another form. I basically don't care which one they use, but the reward of the community could have serious effect on the integrity of article neutrality. There is where I kind of agree. (Not that it would be there for more controversial stuff anyway).
So which one of the keyboards has a dvorak keyboard layout or OLED/No printings on it? But seriously, the whole article seems to me like a big ad.

I know, eats resources, but it would be fun, no?
We are running out of IPv4 addresses? Why the heck did no one tell this before?
I thought IBM would sell "IT Solutions", not "desktop environments". Can't we just stick with a standardized way of term obfuscation?
I love statistics. Every one you look at tells you a different story, even on the same subject.
http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_os.asp tells me, that Windows is still above 90% (slightly) using a similar calculation method.

Hey, leave my favorite massively multilayer on-line editing game alone you insensitive clod!
This is slashdot. Didn't you know that we use another metric. Soccer pitch for space station metric http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/11/18/1928242 and light bulbs for power consumption.

Similar to browsers, the more, the merrier.
Amen!
Strange. Was aiming to make that sentence an irony, but after making a quick Google search with it actually showed VIVACE as first hit.

ps. yes, this is a joke
This time for sure, really really, we promise after burring them 9 feet under, just this last little side arm remaining..
"computer system penetration (hacking)"
Please use the more focused term 'cracking'. Hacking can actually mean a lot more (including the finding of new ways to clean your toilet)
Also your picture shows 90-120m x 45-90m - that I call precise metric.

You owe me a keyboard. Just spilled coffee all over mine ;)
