All this source code I've looked at, there's MUSIC that goes along with it? MUSIC? I missed the MUSIC!!!! No wonder I can't understand it, just looking at the words and not hearing the MUSIC!
Why change the article? GUTLESS!

Why the hell do the editors change the article after after a few postings criticize it? It makes the postings into non sequitors and pretty much scrambles the whole discussion, the whole thing turns into nonsense. Take the critisism to heart in regards to future articles, fine, but this revisionist history makes Slashdot look pathetic.
It looks like the top two teams have already been disabled at the 7 mile mark. "Disabled" has a specific meaning in this race, it means that the judges have pulled the plug on them continuing (via radio control), not that they neccesarily suffered a particular mechanical or system failure. This assumes that the status board is reporting information correctly, blah blah blah. Can anyone watching the satelite feed confirm?
For years my dad used to commute to the train station on a cheap bike, locking it there with a cheap lock while he rode the LIRR into New York City. One day sombody stole the lock (true story). So, get a cheap bike and a good lock.
If China decides to go into space the way they went to sea in the 1400's (64 ships, some *huge*, 28,000 men!) this could be very interesting indeed, see article.
They could just require a movie to be released on DVD before it qualifies for an Oscar. The delay between theatrical release and DVD release is about six months average now, right? And some go virtually straight to DVD.
The future was supposed to be here a long time ago. It never showed. Space travel stalled out, cars still basicly act like the cars of 80 years ago, personal flight systems never appeared, the great suprising technology is in miniature computers and the internet... turns out these are great for massive personal and communal consensual fantasies (online games). In many cases technology actually turned out to be poisonous (PCBs, RSI, DDT, contaminated environment, blah blah). Once you understand technology the way we have grown up with it, dreaming of cooler technology is unappealing, and escapism is much more attractive.
"Marweas" is at the end of job burn out, it gets picked up and turn in to a comic, my my my. All played out on the public stage, do you laugh, do you cry, you know my choice...
If you don't know what the home keys are, or which finger to use for what key, then sure, grab a typing tutorial and learn what those are. After that it's just a bit of self discipline until you are comfortable with it. As a side note, as a programmer, you end up using a lot of symbols (curly braces, brackets, parens, etc) that are not part of the mainstream "important" keys; if you pick up a tutorial you might want to spend a bit of time on these.
I didn't learn to touch type until I was in my thirties, it's just another skill.
Okay, at this point I think they are just juicing up the story so they can get a better deal on the made for TV movie movie that will come out of this in a couple of years. I wonder if "Pirates of SCO" would be a good working title...
... and now we'll be able to solve all the problems and contingencies of robots operating in the real world? Get real.
Never mind the social issues. The world doesn't need more advanced technologies, it needs more advanced civilization. Right now we're like toddlers playing playing with loaded guns.
Although it's not the first RISC-based portable PC running Unix, IBM's RS/6000 N40 is the first using the new PowerPC chip, and it may be the fastest.... powered by a 50-MHz PowerPC 601 microprocessor with a 32-KB cache... equipped with 16 MB of RAM and a 340-MB hard drive, is $11,995.
I bet Dean is pro-drug prosecution, anti-gay rights, and pro-socialism.
Actually Dean signed the first civil unions bill (marriage rights for gays and lesbians) in the country. And pushed health care for poor children; I'd say he's pro human rights.
Um, gosh, I thought that was the US rational for going into Iraq the way they did. Low probability/massive destruction. They sold it to the public that time....
One point I have not seen raised is the question of whether you like what you are doing. Sure, you could jump ship, but on the other hand there are expenses and hassles and risks with going in to a new place. I side with those who say "ask for a salary adjustment," if you are that worried about it. Or perhaps just hint... this worked for me after being under paid for a few years, I got two years of 18 and 20 percent raises. If you are comfortable and respected where you are, that is worth money in my estimation (especially if you get to go home on time every day).
I had an older house that had bats in the attic, and installed an ultrasonic repeller with good luck, AC version so I wouldn't have to climb around up there changing batteries. It probably worked because the attic was relatively open and bats are sound sensitive creatures.
For mice in the basement I used traps and our cat.

Making a plane with a 24 foot wingspan that weighed only 3 oz, now that WOULD be impressive.

I've seen this argument a few times, and I have to suggest the following. When they show a snippet, one of two things happens.
It is found to not be infringing, showing they have no case (what's happened so far), or
It is genuine IP infringment and work can immediately be done to remove it from Linux, and their case is weakened.
This would seem to be a win-win situation.
All I have to do is buy some.

Just a wild guess.
you can leave out "red"
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
But perhaps include some symbols:
The (quick) [brown] fox jumped over the {lazy} dog.

I'm going to short your stock.

Wow, a blast from the past, see this ancient aix laptop from IBM:
That's from July 1994.

Rich, powerful people will use technology to make their kids smarter, they say.
Hasn't worked so far.
They probably just paid for the off site data backup from IBM and didn't think much about it. It's the sort of thing IBM does very well.
There are between 25,000 and 30,000 genes in both the human and mouse genomes, with no more than 500 genes separating the two mammals.
No wonder I like granola.
