The original author was noting that black isn't the best color for nightime flying. Alternate colors make the plane less visible (sorry, I don't recall the exact color). The nightime sky isn't completely black.
I suggest reading Ben Rich's book Skunk Works. Lots of details about the stealth fighter and the SR-71.
Jupiter is a gas giant, there really isn't a "surface" per se. There may be a molten core in the center, but Shoemaker-Levy wasn't that big of a comet to eject matter that far out.
What's more plausable is that these moons are remnants of impacts on other moons. Read the Space.com article on the moons.
A site with streaming geek-type video getting Slashdotted and still being able to hold its own, as far as bandwidth is concerned, is rather impressive. In about ten minutes, I'm sure it won't be doing as well, though.:)
An hour later, the downloading is working fine.
AOL, the service picked on for housing a pile of newbies, proves that it can defeat the onslaught of thousands of geeks. Take that/.!
Diff a film? Unless you encode every video frame exactly the same way, that's going to be an extremely time consuming process.
And the coding could be very subtle in a critical scene, too. Say in a huge AOTC battle, there one particular clone trooper carries his gun in his left hand, while in another copy he carries it in his right. How are you going to notice that? Or maybe there are two rocks instead of three in another scene?
You left out Apple's case design. There is still no easier system to open up then the G3/G4 towers. Lift the tab, everything swings open. Even the beige G3 and Power Macintosh cases were easy to get into.
Yeah, other products are hard to get into, but I've never seen any mainstream PC as easy as the Mac desktops.
Apple's packing box designs are also quite elegant compared to others.
There are some minimal release notes. There are extensive release notes for a developer's point of view in the TechNotes Library, but they are only up to 10.1.3.
These new cards would be of interest to people who want dual monitor and/or DVI support that haven't heard of Matrox cards. It's easier to find ATI and nVidia cards at your local computer shop than Matrox cards. In fact, I don't recall ever seeing a Matrox card at a retail store.
I sure as hell ain't gonna pay to watch their commercials.
You said it yourself... unless you are part of the ad industry, they don't want you as a member, so I really wouldn't worry about it.
It sounds like Advertising Age really bought AdCritic for the back-end stuff. They didn't want the users, they wanted the hardware/software/library/whatever.

AdCritic To Return
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
I don't think AdCritic charged the companies for ads. They video captured it and tossed it up onto their site.
I suspect that companies would not be willing to pay for their placement of their commercials using the old AdCritic format because there is no content control. You got to see every commercial made by a certain company. Companies often have a certain plan where one commercial is seen following another or a theme was dropped (like the talking frogs). AdCritic kept everything.
Additionally, since AdCritic ran every companies' ads, a company's message got lost. For example, I'm sure that McDonald's would not pay for an ad that is placed right next to Burger King's.
PicoRadio doesn't appear to be based on 802.11x at all so it doesn't have the same issues. Now it could have other issues, but I imagine that with all of the publicity that 802.11x garnered, that real security is being considered.
Getting GPG seamless support into Outlook or Eudora would help a whole lot more than getting it into Mozilla. There are far more Outlook and Eudora users out there than Mozilla users.
The whole point is getting GPG to "the masses." The masses don't use Mozilla. "By the geek, for the geek".
I used the PGP Eudora plug-in on the Mac and it was slick. Select Decrypt/Encrypt, done. No front-end, no copy and paste into a helper app, just a single menu selection.

Another /. article reported that AOL is testing the Gecko engine for their Windows client.

It's already been done. The L.A. Times article on this subject mentioned that they did this on LOTR copies.

It's really irritating that FiringSquad requires cookies for their site to work.
Read the article, it's interesting.
An odder curiosity than A/UX was the Network Server 500/700 that ran AIX.
NASA already uses nuclear power for their long range probes. For example, Galileo at Jupiter and Cassini-Huygens going to Saturn are all nuclear power.
Do note that the nuclear power is for the electronics. Both probes carry propellent for orbital maneuvering, etc.

If you go to the retail section, there are is an OS menu with Windows, MacOS, Be OS (!), and Linux.

AOL victorious in porn-spam case
It actually gives details on who they sued and what the settlement is.
It was covered in on Slashdot However, use the previous link, the story's link is no longer valid. You've been warned.

Okay, so I cheated and used Google...

Because either:
a) you don't have a Mac capable of running Mac OS X because it's too old/slow/whatever.
b) you're a GPL zealot and just can't stand running something that isn't GPL. Though I imagine there are not that many Mac users who are GPL zealots.
You need to read the article a little closer. It was launched with an Atlas rocket.
Apple Remote Desktop is like VNC or Timbuktu, not XFree86.
