Coincidentally about the point the Eurofighter 2000 was getting a lot of negative press in the UK for how late it was and how much it cost, it was renamed the Typhoon. This could just be because it went into service in the RAF though.
Depends what you mean by efficient. UClibc is more efficient in space, but less efficient in size. The most telling indication of this is that uclibc does all 32bit math operations by converting to 64bit, performing the 64-bit maths, and then converting back.
The tiny problem with Dubai is its money isn't made in oil, but in banking and tourism. One good indicator of how fucked its economy is, is that they're passing a law banning journalistic discussion of the economy.
And all the new building projects are being shelved as well.
Massive massive props to them. I could never get the population up high enough in Sim City 2000. What was it, about 90000 required before you could build them?
Give them 10 years and they'll get bored and turn the disasters back on.
However, allowing them to be able to request artillery fire and air support is pretty handy. 'Network-enabled' might seem a little over the top until you remember that your air support is now coming out of Las Vegas regardless of where you are in the world as that's where the UAVs are operated from.
The exemption isn't too useful though, as the requirement to be able to support your equipment for 10+ year minimum is tricky when all leaded components are EOLed.
Don't know if that's the case for the solder itself.
I blew up the power supply on my server running the BOINC climate prediction client. Yes, the PSU must have been under spec, and perhaps it was going to blow up anyway. But it's kinda put me off a bit. I'm tempted to start one again on my mythbox, but limit it A LOT.
The US Army likes Linux as they are unable to strongarm Microsoft into doing anything for them, as the Army is not a large customer to Microsoft, which is not its preferred method of doing business.
Having seen Micosoft present to a US Unmanned Systems conference, I got a nice warm feeling from nobody being staggeringly impressed with him.
Is my Matlab brand Rubik's cube, with different pictures on each site. I can't even bloody solve it without The Internet to help. I don't keep it at work any more in case of more coworkers picking it up going "that's clever".
I haven't checked the rules, but unless something's massively changed from last time, there's no reason to launch a UAV because for a start that would be massively more complicated and more expensive than required, and secondly DARPA are still providing GPS waypoints.
But I wouldn't have thought they'd want another UAV, there are other competitions for that. Navigating round the traffic is the tricky part. And recognising all the signs and speed limits and stuff.
It's the interesting thing about paper voting in the UK currently. It's not perfectly secure, but because it's paper, it's actually very difficult to manipulate a vote (for example) without putting in a lot of very boring effort to do so. It's also one of the problems with electronic voting, in that vote manipulation, if possible, can be scaled much more easily.
Hmm, I've had this suggested to me before, and the main thing that worries me (apart from MASSIVE cable losses - seriously, you work them out), is that when you turn something on or off that's really meaty you'd get some lovely magnetic fields developing. I've not checked the maths for that yet, because it's not quite back-of-envelope for me, but I'd want to double check them pretty urgently before suggesting this near your hard drives.
That's why they want Word. I wrote my CV in Scribus, and exported to PDF. The agencies came back and asked for a Word copy, I told them there wasn't one, and they asked for one without my contact details on it.
Which is fair enough really, they don't want either side cutting them out. I produced a no-address version of my CV, and they were moderately happy.
MythTV can read the broadcast schedules on the airwaves - see EIT.
At least that's what I use in the UK. I can also still scrape the Radio Times website in XMLtv as well.
Or, use the MythWeb plugin. I have my own website of my PVR which I can instruct to record things. It's also secured so it's private and not in the hands of anyone else. And it doesn't have adverts.
We leave our TV on, and just turn it on and off at the wall, with our X10 remote. Still get to sit on the sofa to turn the TV on. Still have the TV totally off. And the PIC (or whatever) that controls it must be running on milliwatts.
Don't forget also to either use low-pass filtered fonts on your CRTs or to add random noise to the least significant bits of the DVI-D data going to your TFTs. Stops the old Van Eck Phreaking used to read your monitor from the oscillations in your graphics card.

And when I've read my feeds, there's always the TTRSS forum to cheer me up:

They do not suffer fools gladly!
Apropos of nothing, here's what BT did invest in for their "21st Century Network".
It's all IPv4.

You know, I've always liked that word "gargantuan", I so rarely have the opportunity to use it in a sentence.
Congrats to the devs for knocking out another version of MythTV. I don't care that the arbitrary version number is low.
Been using it for 4 years now.

I wouldn't back up your argument with technical theory on the Internet! Apparently it's the engineering equivalent of child porn . . .

Yes, quite a few of them do.

The Simulink control graph is cute though.

Actually Xeon processors will work in space. They become incredibly effective radiation detectors, as they'll stop processing instantly.

Yeah, mine is digital SD.
