Ah, let them have sex, at least that's not harmful to the environment...
What worries me is countries like Nigeria and Rwanda being among the largest recipients of this toy... as if not enough spam is coming out of those countries already... and when kids learn how to get money from stupid people all over the world, what do you thing they will do?
Inconvenient truth is pretty much boring for the educated people - there's nothing in it that I wouldn't know already. I can't help but feel sorry for people who find it creepy or shocking - that just shows they live in some dark basement or something:)
This just shows that people don'r really understand what global warming means. Sure, temperatures are going to be one or two degrees higher ON AVERAGE, but that does not mean warmer winters and hotter summers in general. It means that the system as a whole will have more energy, so weather phenomena will be more intensive and fluctuations will have higer amplitude. Think of more powerful storms, more destructive hurricanes, etc. Cold winter 2005 and warmest year 2006 is a nice example of such fluctuation.
There were some experiments (even mentioned on/.) that came up with the lack of the iron in the seawater as the limiting factor for algae growth in the seas. IIRC they seeded a small area in the sea with some iron oxyde solution or something and watched it turn green in a couple of hours.
I tought cell phones worked just fine on a plane even before 9/11/2001... How could then folks from fligh 93 call down to inform people of what's going on? They did call, right?
Or is it something that certain government wants us to belive?
For electric powered, of course. There's a nice little device called Watt's Up that you hook between your motor controller and battery and displays about everything you need to know to optimize your setup. I did a short review, becaue I plan to create a competition based on how little energy you spend on your model flying. Should be interesting, fun and educational.
E-mail shouldn't really go away, we need to recreate it from scratch with builtin security, authentication, encryption, etc, and those mechanisms need to be as transparent as today's e-mail.

Um... that is already done, altough almost no one uses it anymore. Remember that old X.400 thing? It was seen as too complicated back then with all the security and encryption builtin and SMTP was seen as its successor. Now look where we've come...
NiCd still performs better than NiMH or LiIon for high-current applications.
Where do you live? I can tell you that in RC world every high current application is dominated by NiMH for the past four or so years. Yes, that's where you pull >200A from the cells for a few seconds at a time. No NiCd ever came close to what can we do with NiMH today.
For what Apple is doing (desktop, multimedia) Reiser4 would be a much better choice. It offers most of the features ZFS does, is infinitely more feature-extensible and can be optimized for a specific task. ZFS on the other hand is more file-server oriented.
Whatever you do, I still feel that if I want to actually *read* some of the replies here, it's the lynx mode that is the most easy on my eyes. So please don't put up some fancy gfx... you'll only force me to really use lynx to browse slashdot;)
Indeed. There are plenty references to various aspects of computers, so all kinds of geeks can enjoy it, not just Mac/NeXT crowd. It shows that Ueda and Yoshitoshi are both Mac addicts:)
Of course JFS won, since it was designed to be as simple as possible... it's originating from OS/2, afterall. On such a machine as used in this test, this is a huge advantage.
I still exclusively use xfce. Simply because it is *everything* I need and am sure it is also everything 95% of desktop users out there need. Without any eye candy, screen clutter and unnecessary junk. Small is beautiful.

No, I'm not dying. I'm very much alive.

In fact, I've just changed jobs and got a new pair of wings

Absolutely ... 60k per day number he mentions seems low to me. I'm comfortably running mysql with 2-3k queries per second ...

I don't care if the shortterm effect to my job is bad, as long as the longterm effect to the world is good.
How exactly does this compare to CFengine? From the short slack description it would seem like cfengine is a much more mature solution ...
Wake me up when chunkfs hits the kernel. I don't even want to think about fscking all those petabytes ...

0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. G400/G450 (rev 82)
With 16MB of memory, no less!
Running perfectly silent with crystal clear picture on 1600x1200.
I don't see why would anyone need more. X is just for having many xterminals on the screen at the same time, right?

Also, X2 3800+ runs at 2.0GHz. Giving about the same performance while sucking just a few more watts... not bad, I say.
I'm fine with HTML 2.0, thank you.
That's why I like to sleep to 2pm and then work till midnight. I really feel much more productive that way.
Now I'm reading this on slashdot for the third time. New record, perhaps? Or is someone's brain starting to grow fungus as well? :)
Anyway, It's still damn funny. First time I read it it was like a picturebook example of what ROTFL looks like.

Also a video of a presentation of a guy he cites ... very worth watching.
Sigh ... If I could, I'd moderate you as 'sad'.
