Exactly. And since I am Emperial Citizen, I see absolutly no problem with that. Robots building robots, flying them right into Iraq...indeed, it will be a glorious day for the Empire!
I agree. Even though I was sad to hear about the Beagle, I am proud to see our hardware far outlast it's design and just keep on going. Must be using Energizer batteries or something:)
Now if they can figure out what is cleaning the panels off. My personal theory is it's another tribe of Gnomes like off of Southpark. They come out singing out of a hole in the ground at night, clean off the panels, and disappear again.
That's why you research the person first. If your doing something illegal, and you come after me, then you'll probably be arrested, fined, etc as well. Especially if your a spemmer.
Well...since you can get a transport app for your handheld...even though it's third party, most companies don't use Palm Desktop if they actually deploy palms to their forces. It sucks. So, yeah, since you can buy the software...I doubt they will add that feature internally any time soon.
The biggest issue is Microsoft's "system" of applications that can tie into each other. MS Project Server, AD, Visual Source Safe, XML, Windows CE, Office, etc. They all tie in together in an enterprise. Yeah, you MIGHT be able (eventually) to get that kind of functionality out of Linux, but probably not.
The only "real" competition IMHO is Sun IPlanet. But they also have the bonus of proprietary, good solid hardware too. Which if I was building a solid Linux system I would try to use hardware like that in an enterprise setting. Corps think nothing of spending $100,000 on ECM crap that doesn't really work anyway.
There was an article on this a few days back...Andrew Tanenbaum said:
On top of this, electoral-vote.com was mentioned on the main page of slashdot.com, a hugely popular tech news site. The last time I was slashdotted, I got 700,000 hits. That incident was caused by the publication of a book emitted by a Microsoft-funded think tank in D.C. claiming that Linus Torvalds stole Linux from my earlier MINIX system. I posted a vigorous and caustic rebuttal saying that the book was utter and complete nonsense. My role was that of Linus' teacher, not his coauthor.
I think it's more like the old Radio Shack comic strips. They weren't supposed to be funny, but tell some type of story. Comic magazines aren't really funny either.
According to the article, Shatner, when he announced it was a hoax, gave the town $100,000 as a gift. The crew of the "film" donated $12,000 to the library. Most people where just happy to have him in town...and Shatner said it wasn't going to make fun of anyone - the reality TV show was when a big Hollywood production company comes in to a small town.
They also spent $1,000,000 to make the show, much of that going into the towns economy. What would be REALLY cool was if the reality show went over well and Shatner decided to actually make the movie into a real movie. That could be pretty cool, and it would already have tons of publicity and marketing started for it.
I thought of that too, but part of the challenge is trying to find a place where it doesn't work. Plus I like having it on me, as the hiking I like isn't just walking across a meadow, and I need it in case I get injured. Even if I'm out of range I can still drag myself somewhere so I'm not (at least in theory).
No, he can't. And it's causing many issues inside the Republican party too because of it...mainly that Cheney will not be in physical shape to run for his own term either. So, there is a debate around the canidate for 2008 already.
Why is this a troll? I read the page and it's actually pretty interesting, with pictures and everything. It's on topic...it should be +5 interesting, not a troll. Stupid moderators.
Perhaps the alien races didn't need a redemer such as Jesus. Maybe they weren't as "wicked" and "sinfull". If, from a religious perspective, Adam and Eve hadn't gotten kicked out of Eden then we wouldn't have needed Jesus either.
I hear you on the fans. I've also fixed many a noisy, soon-to-be-dead power supply by just oiling the fan. I use the fans in all sorts of other projects too. Recently I installed a five-inch 12v fan out of a dead Dell Poweredge to increase my room's AC flow. It's about 15 degrees cooler now than it was, and it's been 108 outside.
The Family Guy is now a part of Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. It's written specifically for AS, so now it's become much...how to put it...less subtle in it's skits. However, my roommates and myself find it even more humorous now since they don't have the limitations that they had on Fox...
I live in the Midwest. There is quite a bit of open land, and much of it is highly habitable. You could probably up the population 10x before running out of land.
Now, running out of resources for all those people is a completely different story. The logistics of supply would also be a nightmare, especially water. But, the lack of resources is even worse on Mars or the Moon, since you can't even attempt to grow anything "outside", except maybe some microbial lifeforms.

This article is two years old. Any updates? I'm too busy tonight to track it down myself.

The sword of Justice cuts both ways.

Bias? On Slashdot! OMG, say it isn't so!

hmmmm...
Well, that depends on how I define my "a-b" doesn't it? In certain circumstances they would work fine...

I think it's interesting. The town doesn't seem to mind all that much. There's only 930 people in the town. Now their famous.
:)
And what if the movie ends up being made? It might if things go right.
Think about a bit bigger picture. And actually, if your religious, we're here for God's entertainment.
One person got paid $5,000 for nine days. The town made $100,000. In two weeks. Not bad. Let's just ssee how it plays out.

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women!
I try to go hiking every once in awhile, and am having a harder and harder time of getting out of cell phone range...
welcome our new golden skinned robotic overlords.
Seriously, that picture kinda creeps me out.

For $109 you can get the software and the hardware (sans laptop) from here.

Too bad this was modded down, as I have a feeling that there is quite a bit of truth behind it.
I predict it will flip on December 24, 2011.
