Sun does appear to be reversing the process - this is how the new FishWorks product was developed. They got some smart people, put them in a room together and left them to it, like a startup inside the company.
Or I'd guess so, having stood next to him in a toy shop (The Entertainer in Camberley, UK) selecting Star Wars figures, presumably for our respective kids, but you never know;O)
Dark energy is a little trickier. There all we can tell is that the expansion of the universe seems to be accelerating. The easiest interpretation of this piece of data is that there is some kind of stuff suffusing all of space that repels things that we will choose to call dark energy.
Or, more simply, the speed of light isn't a constant over time, and the red shift is due to the contortions forced on that light on its way here...?
Why the need to invent a whole new energy we can't otherwise detect?
Opus isn't (I don't think) in any British paper. Bloom County was printed with If... in The Guardian for many years back when. Opus fell out of Bloom County.
And Bloom County and If... were the best there was.
The red shift's present "generally accepted" interpretation is the doppler effect. If that is NOT what causes the red shift, then some other assumptions about the universe also become questionable.
Like for instance what if the speed of light wasn't a constant, and had been slowing down since the Big Bang?
They seem to be pointing to the use of a single PIN number for the card, no matter what you use it for. I keep my credit cards and ATM card for those purposes. But many bank/ATM cards can also be used for making payments directly off your bank account, rather than via Visa/MC/Amex. So in those cases, if they have your PIN, and the data on the magnetic swipe, they can clone the card and empty your bank account. I suppose there's also the point that most credit cards allow you to withdraw cash at ATMs, if you know the PIN.
As mentioned elsewhere here, if this happens, the banks now feel they're in the position to say that anyone who has your PIN must have been told it by you, and so they're cutting down on ATM fraud by blaming the victims.
There's also the worry of people (and most do) having only one PIN number for all cards...
So while yes, the bank has no idea what your PIN is, if someone has the magnetic data from your bank card and your PIN, they can do you much harm, financially.

You've moved from an area where you grew up gaining immunity to the local bunch of bugs, to an area with a whole new set you've never encountered before, and you only got sick a couple of times a year so far? You have a good immune system, and should settle down again pretty soon.;O)
I just transfered my GeForce 256 DDR VIVO I purchased for >£220 back in 2000 from the dieing, overclocked to 750Mhz Athlon box I originally had it in, to a newer 3Ghz box. It plays Sims2 fine. So what is *everybody* on about?
Neither. ("Not another...") Shrubbery is, as already said, a useless, mindless Jar Jar, flapping around in the foreground distracting us with his strange miss use of the language, while Cheney and Rumsfeld (stroking his fluffy white cat and wanting Mr Bond dead) are the true Sith lords.
Not that My Little Tony and the Care Blairs are much better.
I find that, after an update, a random number of my extensions show as OK, but aren't active. I fix this using the following path:
Open the Extension dialog. For each Extension, 1st click it, and the 3rd-click it and select "Disable". Once done, I exit Firefox, and restart it. The open the Extensions dialog again and go through each clicking "Enable" instead. Then exit and restart Firefox a 2nd time, and everything is back as it was.
That 5% thing happened to me for a while. It was failing between the lead-in and starting to burn the actual data. I didn't reformat to fix it.
I found it worked OK if:
a) You switched to Track-at-once rather than Disk-at-once, if you could;
b) You put in the blank disk, and didn't start burning until Doze had recognised it, and you closed the window it popped up for it. If it didn't do this, then this was when it would fail at 5% - pop the disk and re-insert til it recognises it;
c) Finally, I upgraded my ascpi (I think it is? I'm typing this on Linux) drivers when I was messing with something else, and from then on I've had no problems.
K3B is better anyway for general burning, but I need Nero to make VCDs from SVCD data, so they play on my parent's Sony DVD player =O{
> (or maybe the Renault Twingo - never did understand why that didn't make it to the UK).
My understanding (from chats with French colleagues) is that the Twingo was made as a concept car, and they put it into production after the reception it got at Shows. But as a concept car, it was designed as Left Hand Drive only, so switching it over for UK use wasn't financially viable. I've seen a few in the UK, but always LHD.
It went into Solaris 10 on both processors at the same time. Do you see/usr/bin/gnome-panel? If not, you didn't install it. If so, and you mean you don't get to select it from the dtlogin menu, try changing your Locale to C first and trying again? Small bug in the location of the dt configuration files.
Actually, JDS3 was part of Solaris 10 builds for both x86 and SPARC at the same time, and is being built on both and on the new Linux release at the same time. They're all bug-for-bug compatible except where kernel or hardware constraints apply - like smbfs not existing on Solaris.
I've been using it on Solaris/SPARC and Linux/x86 for many months.
I'm running it on a 790Mhz Dell box with an original GeForce 256 in it. This is well below the expected minimum specs, but I'm getting very usable performance out of it.
Since most of the hard 3D work happens in OpenGL, the card takes the strain - and this isn't UT2004.
Sun didn't want to use CDE. They wanted to use OpenLook and NeWS. They were forced to use CDE by customers who were way to short-sighted for their own good.
They chose Gnome because, again, customers were pushing them that way. And have spent a lot more money than you might imagine making Gnome i18n good enough for real use.
Sorry? Have you bothered to read *any* of the announcement before pontificating?
The $100/employee is for the *server* side stuff. The desktop is sold per seat (discounts available depending on other software purchased, I think) for just the software. The customer supplies the hardware - in this case the PCs that are already on the users' desks, but may be too old/decrepid to run Doze/Office XP.
Sun sell x86 systems, and 2 x86 OSes. Not selling Doze is one of the major reasons they still exist. Announcing they were dropping Unix and moving to Doze is a major reason SGI is in the position it's now in. NVidia is probably the main other one.
Sun own Cobalt, so have been selling x86/Linux based servers in big numbers for years.
OK, the P800 does all this but the video, and doesn't crash doing it. Plus it has a bigger screen and an easier-to-use OS. And the battery lasts longer.
... And over here it now stands for "Service Pack Vehicle".
A colleague had one, basically for free with an expensive monthly contract, that he took back after 3 days, it had crashed so often. He and I are both now proud Sony Ericsson P800 owners.
According to discussions on the e-devel mailing list, fixes to support the newer window manager hints that Gnome2 and KDE now use are in CVS and will soon be in a new snapshot release - 0.16.6?
I'm waiting for them to iron this out and test it before I dive in. Enlightenment, Evolution and XEmacs are my work environment and I don't like messing about with that too much. All on top of Solaris/SPARC, if that matters to anyone.

humans have been genetically altering livestock and crops for millenia, it's called selective breeding. - This is a comparison put forward by the GM companies to try to make it seem more acceptable. In cases like this, it may not be so harmful. But at the other extreme, we simply don't know what the result will be, or the long-term effects of eacting it. I mean, when were farmers able to cross-breed strawberries and fish before, eh? And what does this mean to vegetarians?
administer it in the form of vitamin pills - I think the other poster said it all here. If they could afford to import and distribute pills often enough for every child to have one every day, this wouldn't have been thought of, even. Distributing seed that can continue to be used for years is more cost effective. But no research can be done on the long-term effects of eating this rice, other than by feeding it in large quantities to some poor, unsuspecting people who won't be able to sue you if it goes wrong. Which strangely seems to be what's happening here =O(.
Then you'd be oh so wrong. The Spec2000 figures are up at specint2000 and specfp2000 and Mhz for Mhz the US3 beats any x86 by 10% integer and 60%+ Floating Point. Only the Alpha touches it, and there's still no useful software for them.
