An mp3 player can use a hard drive much more efficiently than a pda can. It can spin up the hard drive, cache a few songs in RAM, and spin down the hard drive for 10 or 15 minutes before it's needed again. Plus it doesn't need to write to the hard drive - so no fragmentation problems, which I'd guess would increase the power usage of the HDD even more.
A PDA needs to read and write to it's storage regularly.
Run a software mpeg encoder like ffmpeg on an SBC or a mini-itx system. You can make it solid state (leaving out the hard drive) by making it boot over the network)
From reading a lot about electric vehicles recently, I've found out that electricity storage devices (batteries/fuel cells etc) have very poor energy/weight and energy/volume ratios compared with gasoline or diesel. That's the big strike against them and the reason that we're not all driving electric vehicles
So, yes, you lose the weight of the engine, but the fuel cells will more than make up for that.
A pity because from what I've read, electric vehicles have the advantage in virtually every other area over internal combustion engines - acceleration, maintenance, longevity, weight, emissions, energy running costs...
didn't he say exactly the opposite of this? he said that if, in the future, no one uses gnu at all, but software generally is "free", then his project will have succeeded. he's not insisting that people use his model, then is he?
boost has a cross-platform threading library. also, at least some of the boost libraries will probably make it into the next C++ standard so they're a good wagon to hang your hat on, so to speak:)
Not only that, ext[123] was designed to be EXTENSIBLE, something Microsoft idiots don't seem to understand. Extensiblility is about being able to add future functionality without rewriting or breaking a package. Hooks exist in ext that let you add new features. This is a Good Thing.
NTFS does have hooks. They're called reparse points. They can be used to create hard links, for instance.
Newish American cars have to have OBD installed. It means that your car already has a lot of sensors installed and accessible. The protocol is kind of available, I think
I think that they have the photos that go with the names, and at least a few of them were using stolen identities. Some of the people with those names have even turned up alive in Saudi Arabia. This would tend to make you suspicious of the other names too wouldn't it?
Are the photos that we're given really the photos of the actual hijackers?
And the article's argument still applies - what's the false positive rate?
Wow - a perceptive comment on slashdot - who'd have thunk it:)
I agree that you're always trading liberty for security. However, the point of having a constitution is that those rights CANNOT be traded for security. And one of the good things about the USA compared to other countries is that they've generally preferred liberty to security. I think that should continue.
i used to use it to listen to find all the stuff done by someone i liked.
for instance, i heard eminem on the radio, downloaded some of his stuff and related stuff like NWA, Snoop Dogg and so on. Now I'm a gangsta-rap fan!:) AND i paid to go and see their tour when they came to detroit ($50 each for me and 2 friends). There was no chance of that happening without napster. And ironically it was Dr Dre who was one of the movers against napster!

I mean messed up in the sense that the Space Shuttle didn't meet it's original requirements - cheap reusable launcher.
Why would we give them more money when they've messed up with so much of the money we've already given them?
I'd rather let private companies launch their own vehicles, if anyone is willing to pay for such a thing. Why is the government involved in this?

Stephen Smale is a _very_ eminent mathematician. A fields medal winner. He proved the poincare conjecture for dimensions greater than 4.

here is a link to what he's talking about.
It produces $60,000 a year worth of electricity
well, it's not ethernet, but you can transmit RCA signals over CAT5 wire using a balun for about $30.
switching is a bigger problem, though. i'm trying to figure out how to do this at the moment. it probably comes down to building your own.
if you cultivated the greenhouse - wouldn't that use up some of the energy?
Actually, you can hack your car to the extent of removing the whole engine system and replacing it with another one
Lots of people do it

The lock-in comes when the interaction is between compiled components - java and C++ for instance.
I think that privacy, such as it is, is in the fourth - the one about having security in one's person, house, papers and effects.

Only closing the barn doors where the horse has already bolted wouldn't do much good.
Having said that, I think that this trampling of rights is not the right route to take. Other countries have tried it and it doesn't work too well.
Are there any problems with these routers and the H323(netmeeting) protocol?
I'm writing this from my second-hand 366MHz Vaio - $750 from ebay.
:)
I was looking for bare-bones and expandability, which mainly meant USB and firewire and not having anything that I didn't need.
Vaios being slick-looking had nothing to do with it

Movie acting is becoming obselete anyway. In a few years people will be able to make their own movies a la Shrek.
I didn't have much luck with the original link.
here's another one that seems to work better.
I don't think that the core of IE starts up when the system boots. Which parts are you talking about?
