It's cool that the Mars rovers have outlived their "planned" missions, but I suspect that those missions have a fair amount of padding built into them, because the last thing you want, from a NASA marketing perspective, is a rover failing before it has completed its mission. So, they set themselves up for these sorts of planned "successes".
That Pioneer 10 is still going, however, is pretty darn cool. If Spirit is still exploring Mars 30+ years from now, I'll color myself impressed than too.
Funny you should ask. The site talks about using the new plex86 as an acceleration engine for Bochs. So, instead of emulating each x86 instruction, Bochs could leverage Plex86 and get a big 'ole speedboost.
Kevin's posted a very limited test case demonstrating this ability to the Bochs lists a bit ago.
I don't think the problem the original poster was alluding to was a technical one.
The big studios have the money to change the rules of the game at will. If they agree to something like this, don't be surprised to see them lobbying, 28 years from now, to change the law and extend the copyright period. Then they would have both draconian technical copyright enforcement measures, backed by the full force of law, and infinitely renewable copyrights.
Of course, some would argue that we already have both.
"How cool would this be with support for a wireless protocol?"
Well, seeing as how Sony Ericsson have already announced a pen using this technology that supports Bluetooth (http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=ERIC_CHA TPEN), pretty darn cool.
Not true. See http://www.usdoj.gov/uspc/mission.htm.
The relevant bit is:
HOW PAROLE WORKS FOR FEDERAL PRISONERS
All eligible prisoners, except those serving a term of ten years or more, may apply to receive an initial parole hearing within 120 days of commitment and are provided with a parole release date based upon the appropriate parole release guidelines. This provides the prisoner with a tentative release date, providing the prisoner maintains a good institutional conduct record.
Now, certain conviction on certain crimes can limit your ability to get early parole or get time off for good behavior, but those tend to be drug/violence related crimes, not white collar.
Actually, at this point it probably has more to do with an eventual parole application. He's already been sentenced to 33 months, no show of remorse is going to change that.
Encrypting doesn't necessarily help. Sure, it prevents the court from reading your documents, but it doesn't prevent the court from putting your ass in jail for contempt of court after they subpoena your key/passphrase/whatever from you.
And if you destroy your key as the feds are coming through the door, that's just like shredding documents -- They'll put you in jail for destroying evidence.
(And yes, well encrypted data is indistinguishable from random data, but it's not going to be too hard for a state's attorney to argue that the huge pile of random data on your HDs is encrypted data, not your/dev/urandom souvenir collection).
Err, more relevant is probably the fact that these shots are pictures, taken by digital cameras, of tv screens at the event, not pristine screenshots directly from the boxen they were running on.
Two Kernel Monte stops you from a having to do a warm reboot of your system, but it is 100% equivalent to it, from the user perspective. The entire system, including the previously running kernel, is killed off and the new kernel is booted up. All you save is the 10 (or more) seconds waiting for your system to do a reboot.
So, the whining will continue:-).

You can view the health reports (temperature etc.) that that telescope sent back via Iridium here.
There may be other tasties too -- I haven't dug too much.

I would never expect for bytes/sec to equal bits/sec * 8. Bytes/sec is equal to bits/sec divided by 8. This has been a pedantic moment.

On the plus side, the Fluke MicroScanner Pro does everything you describe and is under $400, based on a quick pricegrabber query.
It's much smaller than the tools you currently have and built by one of the best in the business.

Mozilla was able to hunt down its contributors to change the license. A concerted effort on Povray's part would most likely be successful as well.
So does anyone else think that a "no jon katz" preference should apply to the silly ads for his book as well? Jeesh.

No doubt there are others.

I think he meant he wants to use LTP, not STP.
STP isn't much use for testing kernel pre-releases.

That's my point, it's totally equivalent to a warm boot. The kernel uptime goes back to zero.
