Those instructions note that you'll get an error during "make test" because of the old, buggy version of Berkeley DB included with Mac OS X. If you plan on using perl's DB functionality, upgrade to a more recent version. You can either use fink ("fink install db41") to get 4.1.24, or compile from source (available here) to get 4.1.25. If you compile from source, you'll need to link/usr/local/BerkeleyDB->/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4. 1
It's almost like these Microsoft-worms were desingned to create panic and purchasing action, but no legalally actionable damage.
Hey! These viruses are good for the economy!
More seriously, perhaps they are meant to make MS look bad without seriously damaging anything (lost sales?), while drawing attention to the hacker skills of the author.
I have a USB floppy drive from smartdisk. Access to HFS-formatted floppies is just fine. However, access to DOS-formatted floppies is abysmally slow. I've never timed it, but I'd guess 4-5 minutes to format a floppy in DOS.
Hmm... well, at least, the above was true under 10.1.5. Haven't tried 10.2 yet.
I was going to point out that the 20GB HDD in my iPod doesn't seem to have any problems, despite being dropped a few times, and slammed into doorways as I walked through with the iPod on my hip... but then I remembered that the drive is usually not spinning. It only spins up when loading a new song (or songs) into its 32MB (?) of memory. The HDD on a camcorder would have to spin constantly when recording or playing back, but could spin down when either just viewing or even when taking pictures. With some cache memory, you could probably avoid the spin-up delay when starting to record. (i.e. data goes into cache until the HDD has spun up). Similarly, pictures could go in the cache until its full.

More seriously, who says that these 'new' images arn't straight out of photoshop.
Well, if they are claiming the pictures are from SOHO, you can look at the data yourself. All data from SOHO is available to the public via an archive (I'm not going to link to it, find it yourself) -- you just have to generate the images! You'll need IDL (or other similar software) to analyze the FITS format files, but the data is there.

Perhaps they could use VEGF to encourage blood vessel growth for thicker pieces of meat.
Just out of curiousity, what happens when you sit down at someone else's computer, and they don't have a dvorak layout? How long does it take you to "remember" your QWERTY...origins?
NASA's Deep Space Network is in shambles. It needs a massive upgrade.
I agree -- and DSN is working on it. They are updating the equipment in both the 34- and 26-meter subnets. I know because I have to test it with my spacecraft!
Goldstone et al are out in the middle of nowhere, and have no significant radio interference problems.
Actually, the Goldstone antennas get occasional (daily, but sporadic) interference from operations at nearby Edwards Air Force base.
NASA deep space stuff is up around 8 GHz...
Where'd you get that? This page lists Galileo at 2295 MHz. (That's ~2.3 GHz, for the math-challenged)

AT&T has an engine here, but I'm sure you can't afford it. They do, however, have a desktop client edition that runs under linux, according to this fact sheet.
The latest Discover magazine reports that this was used for the voice of the ship in the movie "Red Planet".
Then again, I was more interested in looking at Carrie Anne Moss...
She could at least have linked to the study itself...
No, actually, she could not have. IDC research studies are not free, nor available online. You can, however, BUY them, for many thousands of dollars. For example, you can buy this 13 page study about the "future" of photo printing for $4500!

2 seconds on google ("fink x11") would've led you here.
Is there some reason you must compile from source? How about just install the binary with "sudo apt-get install bundle-kde"?

No, it was DSS-63, a 70-meter dish.

This page seems to imply that arraying the antennas is possible. Why won't this work for Pioneer 10?
Actually, there have been plans for a while now to put a network of relay satellites around Mars.
aaaah, oops! I meant to say "Pioneer 10 at 2292 MHz"!

The closest you'll get to this is using software like VNC, Apple Remote Desktop, or Timbuktu to display the desktop's screen on your laptop.
All G4s (including the XServer) have GigE built-in. I wonder if the GigE switch was too expensive?
