Fortunately, several potential treatments for Alzheimer's are currently being developed, and a few are in trials already. eg. Elan's AAB-001, and AAC-001. We can but hope that this terrible disease will soon be defeated.
True, but it was based on a short story of Clarke's, "The Sentinel." The entire moon sequence from 2001 is pretty much directly lifted from the short story.
I gave more money to the poor than Bill Gates, and I suspect, so did the majority of posters on Slashdot. Only since he got married did he finally turn a new leaf. Melinda Gates must be one hell of a women to have changed him so much. I will admit, though, he has managed to buy himself off the World's Biggest Tightwad list.
Large Man with Dead Body: Here's one. The Dead Collector: That'll be ninepence. The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not dead. The Dead Collector: What? Large Man with Dead Body: Nothing. There's your ninepence. The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not dead. The Dead Collector: 'Ere, he says he's not dead. Large Man with Dead Body: Yes he is. The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not. The Dead Collector: He isn't. Large Man with Dead Body: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill. The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm getting better. Large Man with Dead Body: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment. The Dead Collector: Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations. The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I don't want to go on the cart. Large Man with Dead Body: Oh, don't be such a baby. The Dead Collector: I can't take him. The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel fine. Large Man with Dead Body: Oh, do me a favor. The Dead Collector: I can't. Large Man with Dead Body: Well, can you hang around for a couple of minutes? He won't be long. The Dead Collector: I promised I'd be at the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today. Large Man with Dead Body: Well, when's your next round? The Dead Collector: Thursday. The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I think I'll go for a walk. Large Man with Dead Body: You're not fooling anyone, you know. Isn't there anything you could do? The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel happy. I feel happy. [the Dead Collector glances up and down the street furtively, then silences the Body with his a whack of his club] Large Man with Dead Body: Ah, thank you very much. The Dead Collector: Not at all. See you on Thursday. Large Man with Dead Body: Right.
What a turn around this man has done with Motorola. There are an awful lot of great people at Motorola, and finally they have a CEO who actually listens to what they say.
that just making more money was pointless, and there were better, and more fulfilling, things to do with his time. I hope so, with the fortune he has amassed he could truly accomplish some amazing things.
The prime minister's plan to protect local breweries by nationalising them as part of an initiative to show he was sensitive to small problems that caused people concern, called "little things that mean a lot".
Damn, that has to be the largest chunk of Cobalt-60 on the planet. Is it me, or has the quality of proofreading gone completely out the window these days?
I sure remember avoiding the jewelry section of major department stores when I was a child due to the whining sound of the alarm system. Is this just being re-discovered?
Actually, Microsoft has a long history in hardware. Does anyone remember the soft80 card? It was a Z80 card that plugged into an Apple II, that allowed you to run CP/M.
In dollars, Microsoft is going to beat Linux for quite some time yet. A large percentage of Linux users download and more or less roll their own distributions. They don't buy them. The real question is how many are users are served with each platform on a regular basis. That is the number that really matters.
More than most other distro's, Slackware has a clean focus on what it is trying to accomplish. Pat does his thing, and does it extremely well. He does not fall into the hole of trying to be all things to all people. Slackware has been amazingly consistent, and reliable. Keep it up Pat!
Over 3000 now. The highest priced, that has actually had bids on, it is $1555. Absolutely amazing. I'm sure there will be many more by the end of the day.

Lucent, the bleeding sphincter of quality. Will someone shoot Patty, and set that company right already?

Naaahhhhh!!! What was I thinking?
Guiness, with a high concentration of both iron and iodine would be an ideal treatment for radiation poisioning.
I do now. Proving once again, you can actually learn something on Slashdot.

I guess you missed the AT&T 3B1, aka 7300, aka Safari, system. Sadly, AT&T couldn't market its way out of a paper bag.
We're behind schedule.

This is quite a milestone, I can't wait to run Linux on my 650. Keep up the good work, and many thanks for the work you have done so far.

Well, if past is prologue, your looking at about a decade. Kinda sorta. How many home users are actually using GigE now?
