Interesting that the DARPA Challenge rule precludes hovercrafts from competing as they do not primarily use traction with the ground for propulsion.
I hope a team enters with a very large metal hollow sphere with gear teethmarks lining the inside and the machinery be a shaft, gyroscope and gears on both ends of unequal weight. The rest of the contents can be fuel/energy cells to power the rotating motion of the machinery inside -- it essentially just has to "throw" itself in a direction and keep rolling and steering. Travelling 175 miles ought to be possible as long as the terrain isn't ridiculous.
I do, but that's because I use Trillian which makes logging a breeze, and Trillian's Activity History feature makes these archived logs actually useful, being able to "bookmark" points in the conversation as well as search the logs in several useful ways.
Newsflash: RIAA understands "viral marketing" and is getting P2P filesharing networks LOTS of free press!
They obviously figured out that P2P filesharing has caused revenues to go up. However, they wear the veil of ignorance and claim that filesharing is evil and causes revenue loss -- all the while embezzling money and otherwise squandering it, to make the bottom line look reduced to support their phony claims.
All this buzz around P2P filesharing and how easy it is to get pirated music for free causes people who would not normally try such a thing, to go out and try it -- repetetive "advertising" of these filesharing networks in the form of headline news almost daily.
RIAA can then pocket even more money once the viral marketing takes off and they need to spend less money on actual marketing and promotion efforts. Just hire a few more lawyers to keep the news buzz going and get rid of the marketing folks...
I think Dave Cinege finally learned the harsh reality that it takes more than a reasonable amount of technical know-how to make an open source GPL project successful.
It requires charismatic, likable and vociferous spokespeople to promote the project and act as fundraisers, too. Clearly, if the LRP died due to lack of funding... it lacked this ingredient.
It's a pity to see any open source project go, but lets learn from our collective mistakes instead of just ridiculing or pitying the poor sods who made them...
Without personal integrity, relationships are worthless. Without relationships, everything else is equally worthless. We hold both sides of our business relationships to equally high standards of integrity.
Openness
Once you have integrity, openness follows. We're dedicated to the free exchange of information. We keep our business dealings open with one another and with the public. Of course, there are legal and practical limits to openness in business, but we favor honesty to secrecy.
This seven person exodus doesn't exactly sound like the most open or fair thing to do to The JBoss Group. But, maybe I'm wrong...
No mention of how Neo popping Agent Smith at the end in the article!
Let God into your heart in and evil gets vanquished. Poof.
I'm also surprised that there's no mention of Neo (as well as all the other Matrixians) being an immaculate conception. Presumably, everyone in the Matrix is born without the original sin, right?
How much does it cost to file suit in Florida? $100? Plus another couple of thousand dollars for Mark Feldstein's fees...
That's pretty cheap advertising for Eddy Marin and EMarketersAmerica.org. What more widespread and effective marketing and advertising than getting on/.?
In under 4 weeks, Eddy's created a brand that's recognized by hundreds of thousands of people. I think that's impressive.... and we fell for it. Duh.
And it was NOT an April Fools Trick as it dates May 2nd.
Uh, it would be very un-Microsoft-like for them to release something on time. It was probably intended for April 1st but release got delayed by 32 days.
I'd like to know if these light-emitting nanotubes can be used for nanoprinting of ultra-dense transistor chips. Talk about entering into the next age of computing power...
Making spam legal by levying a tax on email will only make things worse. We'll get more spam, and since the taxes for it have been paid by the spam-sender, we can't even complain about it.
Slashdot Mirror
Holy shit, what next? "Apple to buy Commodore's IP: next MacBook to feature Genlock and an even Fatter Agnus"?
:-)
Bullshit like this would never get posted to Digg, right?
Props to the Coward who did justice remixing the Hacker Manifesto.
The rest of you who didn't recognize this, you can resume your poseur lifestyle on Slashdot. Lamers.
Maybe the laptop thief was actually the same wiley hacker at Harvard Business School.
I wonder if Apple is going to take AppleInsider to court to force them to disclose who leaked this information to them:
CONFIDENTAL - CONFIDENTIAL - CONFIDENTIAL

1. Develop two-button mouse.
3. Profit!!!

If Rotundus is for real, then someone needs to tell them to enter into the DARPA challenge!
:-)
Great minds think alike, or fools rarely differ. The Rotundus guys are on to something!

I do, but that's because I use Trillian which makes logging a breeze, and Trillian's Activity History feature makes these archived logs actually useful, being able to "bookmark" points in the conversation as well as search the logs in several useful ways.
Someone please use the IOS source to find an exploit that goes around and updates Cisco routers with proper egress filtering. k, thx! :-)
Subject says it all. The Mozilla team should dump their codebase and port Safari to Win32. There's the silver bullet ...
