Ok, assuming the mirror is "perfect" (yeah, I know its not) and you kept pumping photons into an enclosed box, is there some kind of maximum energy density, a point where the light starts coagulating into matter?
This may sound like lame, uninformed flame-bait, but why do we even need domain names?
What about a distributed search engine type of approach? There's got to be some way of avoiding this kind of centralization and still manage the anarchy.
We're trying to do a small run of set top boxes and can't find parts! Even digikey is sold out of some basics as the big guys have had to pick people like them clean. I hear we had problems even finding basic SMT resistors...
That's why its good to be a programmer. It just gives me more time to work while the hardware guys scramble for parts.
Its also necessary to introduce new concepts in User Interface design. This gives developers alot more freedom to do something that makes sense for their application. Since this is a base for future work, it wouldn't make sense to limit fuctionality that is technically possible. Just think of what you'd like to go back and tell the original X developers to include.

Ahhh, but there may be... Just wait until the browser company has to start selling its products and then they'll try to get it anywhere they can to make a buck.
I had similar difficulties trying to get 133MHz memory to work in mine. I had a nice (I figured) infineon 128meg stick that wouldn't work at all at 133. 100 works fine though.
I still feel more confident with a good ole intel BX. I've never had a problem with them and they have great support.
My experiences with KDE have led me to believe it is a bloated memory hog. Everytime I've tried to run it, my harddrive comes close to bursting into flames with all of the swapping. Gnome runs well, though. Also, alot of your performance is due to the X Server and what kind of acceleration it has. that is a good question though--why is x so much slower than windows? Is it the client/server model? Shouldn't shared memory take care of most of that?
It seems to me that the biggest reason to keep these games out of public circulation is to prevent them from competing with the latest high profit margin beast.
Why would nintendo want you to keep playing a NES when they can sell you the latest N64? And think of all the new games you'll have to buy(ROYALTIES!) in that desparate search for something as enjoyable as the old games!
Its the same tactic M$ uses to keep selling OSes- come out with the next "big thing" and convince everyone they need it while dropping support for the old one...
Forget the blind people for a sec. What about an in car linux box? No need to work a keyboard when you're hurling down the interstate at excessive speeds!
Now if someone would hook this up to text mode quake we could really have some fun!
Why on earth should we waste any more money chasing extraterrestrial life fantasies? The only reason we went to mars was to look for life. How much have we wasted on it? What have we gained? With NASA's new 'faster cheaper better' policy, the amount of profitable discoveries gained from the mission is approaching zero. Why aren't we on the moon establishing a strong foothold for future exploration that involves more than looking for bacteria?
I believe in God and I think they should create it. It just goes to show you that life doesn't evolve out of matter, and it takes a intelligent(ok, in our case, a semiintelligent) being to create it. Man has done many experiments over the years trying to create life, and all we've proven is that its extremely difficult, even with an intelligent being directing the process.
Incidentally, darwin figured cells were simple lumps of carbon which is why he figured it could have evolved out of dirt. Modern science tells us that even the simplest cells we know of are complex INTERDEPENDANT (the key word) systems that don't function unless all parts are present.
Kinda like saying that a bicycle could evolve into a motorcycle... first it gets a piston... then an engine case.. and for 10 million years it drags these around until it evolves a gas tank... then 10 million years of wasted energy later it evolves the gas lines that bring the gas to the engine... and on and on.. its really silly. If we really take an unbiased look at what science tells us (the complexity of life) we're forced to come to God (whose God? Thats a different subject). But modern science has chosen to reject God as a possibility. "Evolution must be true, because there is no God!" instead of looking at evolution in the light of the evidence. As an added note, I think that its interesting that man has bred dogs for thousands of years, and made some very interesting dogs in the process, but they are all still dogs! -Jasno "insert witty quote here"
Slashdot Mirror
How are they going to simulate the random NASA probe hurtling uncontrollably towards the ground?

Self Erase? Even without UV? What's the lifetime on that? Granted, some of these games have been around for 20+ years...

Any Ideas?

Other than that, we have MAME, so what else could you ask for?
-jasnohmmm.. sounds like a confused windows user. flame me if i'm wrong, but I think the patch for win95B to use AGP required installing USB support...
