It is Britain that declared war on Germany in the second world war, and it was in response to the invasion of Poland, not in response to being attacked.
Nope, there are two things needed: A sustained burn, and surplus. A sustained burn has been achieved (where 30 seconds is counted as sustained), a surplus is expected from ITER from most writeups I've seen, but I don't know if they'll achieve both at the same time.
I've been watching for news from these people. Although I have no idea if they are legitimate or not. The documentation on their website (though incomplete from a geek's point of view) suggests a highly efficient direct fusion->electiricity reactor with no generator (so no inefficient steam turbine). The proposed pB11 reaction (one proton + Boron nucleus -> 3He2+) gets electricity in the process of slowing the resulting He nucleuses (alpha radiation). Apparantly the reaction chamber is safe to enter after a few minutes of the reaction shutting down.
It would be nice if anybody could provide some sound evidence that this is a legitimate organisation - and that their claim of achieving a 2 billion Kelvin burn is sensible.
Hm, how much does biodiesel from sugar beat earn per square metre per year, and how much for cocaine? Maybe buying lots of biodiesel from Brazil could reduce the drugs trade.
If your workload requires synchronisation between CPUs, or only even has one thing that can be done at a time, you don't see *any* benefit. You may even see a reduction in performance. Typically, dual-core is not quite twice as fast even with all else being equal and even with each CPU having its own local memory.
They have this already, it's called python. really makes a great shell in windows. Gets rid of all that nasty racy - choose a file, run a program with its filename, meanwhile the file has been moved underneath you. Interacts with COM too (needs some tab completion though). I am gonna look into using ruby for this stuff too. I think you may be able to add definitions to classes/objects after the fact (not sure though), which would be ideal for an interactive scripting shell.

It's zealots like him that made Linux worth having (Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation).
Without them, the BSDs would also not be worth having.
> Nvidia is doing everyone a favor by releasing quality drivers.
Also nVidia's drivers are not quality, they don't work with Ingo Molnar's realtime patches and they don't work with the less used kernel options for several months after after a kernel comes out. If they were Open Source, people would be able to something about the quality.
Some packages are 6 months or more out of date, some are out of date versions with selected bugfixes patched, some are just a month or two out of date.
"Stable" means doesn't change. If you want the latest use unstable. There is no release, so just install stable then point your apt at unstable, and apt-get dist-upgrade to unstable where you will be at the cutting edge all the time.
Ever tried to start a regular domestic car (manual) without using the clutch (IE, put it in first, lift the clutch, then turn the key in the ignition). It won't happen. Internal combustion engines have so little torque at 0 RPM that it isn't funny.
That is what the clutch is for. It lets you get the RPM of the engine up before it has to apply torque.
Auntie said she'll be bringing the isobars back in once people are used to the new format. Most of the debate is just people having to get used to a new way of visualising the information.
Depends on the mouse mat. My mouse mats are all textured surfaces, but there is enough of a reflection that my mouse jumps all over. My desk, however, has no problems at all.
If you are going to use a mouse mat, make sure it has a woven cloth surface and *not* plastic of any sort.
He proved it in his article. He said supporting the Open Source community's use of BitKeeper cost $500,000 a year. That means the software doesn't just work as he claims non-Open Source development models cause (and no, producing duplicates of his software for them did not cost $500,000).
Everybody says that Open Source doesn't innovate, but nor does a corporation. Neither Open Source nor corporations have brains to innovate with, it is people that innovate. Users of Open Source software depend on those people to see benefits in letting them use the software under Open Source terms, users of corporate controlled software depend on the greed of those people not being so complete as to prohibit them from using it. Users that pick and choose from both kinds of software get the best software available regardless of the license terms. Contributers to Open Source licensed projects recognise the benefits of not having to be good at business to be able to make high quality software.
Accusations of poorer quality software when licensed under Open Source terms are made by managers attempting to stop their chosen path to money making from being eroded because they are afraid of changing careers. The only differences between poor quality Open Source software and poor quality corporate software are:
When the poor quality software is abandoned - with corporate software you no longer get permission to use it anyway - with Open Source software you are still permitted to use it if you really want to.
When the high quality software is still under development - with corporate software you are not permitted to see the developmental stages - with Open Source, you are allowed to use it if you really want to.
How does it define "protected computer" and "protected system"?
It could be completely toothless. Do you have to spend $10,000 per year on IT security services before your computer is considered secure. And is an unpatched system considered "not protected"?
The UK Government is a reactionary bunch of idiots that can't get anything right because they never think further than the indended consequence such that they rarely even cause *that*.
Children will not eat healthier for an ipod because their food habits are formed by how their parents treat food. Fat kids will still be fat, but now they will be pushed out of the fashionata. It will only serve to increase bullying and increase the value that children put on being *in*.
As a result of this, I predict that happy slapping will worsen and somebody is going to die.
They should give gifts to the parents of children that eat healthily - children see fortunate parents as a sign of luckiness rather than betterness. The gifts should be meaningless to children so the children don't feel it should belong to them and pressure their parents into passing it on.

Nono, that's fedora.
Like 8.0.3 maybe?

bollocks, plain old text posting mode doesn't work.

Windows tab completion sucks, Microsoft needs some UNIX lovin'

Great, now we'll all hear that Linux thinks Scotland is smaller than it really is.

I asked how it defines a protected computer. How can a question be wrong?

The OP is correct. One kilo calorie is one Calorie (with the capital C), that is a thousand times more than one calorie.

I got a trial pair - I put them in a tumble drier on cold. The TV has started giving me free porn as a reward for running so many marathons.
Christmas sales are far too important to prevent people from buying gifts.
This will not prevent piracy, just resale.
It doesn't, an API is a description of a language. You cannot copyright a language. It is completely illogical.
