Blind you? The photons rate entering your eyes looking backward would be much less, so it'll be pretty dark. You wouldnt feel a thing if the velocity is constant.
In none of the movies did I see a snake fly. In 2 of the videos, I did actually see them fall at an angle, which I've also seen humans do with certain suites, before deploying their parachutes.
And in most videos, I just saw snakes fall, something ALL vertibrates and invertibrates are capable of.
I've been looking for something that can properly replace Lotus and Outlook. Lotus is owned by IBM, and while Domino runs on Linux, Lotus the client does not. This is one of the only two reasons we're not running Linux throughout our enterprise.
If Lotus wont deliver, maybe Sunbird+Thunderbird will. Another issue are the custom apps of Domino, I guess we'll just have to do without them. I wonder how well a Sunbird+Thunderbird combination will work as clients to Domino 7 running on a Linux machine.
I imagine they can be pushed into 2010 if they've survived so far. Coverage will slowly recede during that time, but since its not 100% coverage to begin with, they can still sell 'global' phones and pagers.
Their global 'coverage' is limited as displayed on the map on their site. For one, Africa is completely uncovered.. so if youre smack dab in the middle of central Africa, theres NO way to communicate back except maybe long range ham radio.
The polar regions are also barely covered; that was the reason I was looking for a pager in the first place.
I've seen academic papers. Some projects like Plan9 are a part of research (and many others by students in big universities), but the vast majority of 'projects' are either on a personal level or on a business level. When I was in college, and when they were teaching me pascal programming, I realized that Academia isnt exactly cutting edge in IT.
For that you'd have to look online, google around, find mailing lists, download code and compile it.
Heck even for projects like Plan9, you'll learn much more by downloading the thing than reading the papers.
For most purposes like openldap logins, simple database queries, pam logins, mail serving, simple firewall etc, you can get away with a simple Athlon64 server for upto 10,000 users. Remote profiles in windows is REAAALY heavy, think of the delay when youre logging in on someone else's workstation... Linux's authentication isnt that heavy at all.
Just get an xSeries 206 ($500) and be done with it.
7km across? Compared to Saturn thats tiny. Thats like saying the ISS is a moon.
So how do you draw a distinction between a moon, a natural satellite, asteroids and space junk? You can either say the moon Earth has an asteroid orbiting it... or that Earth has many moons orbiting it, only one of which is large enough to see.
So if I pay the Russian space program to launch my 1kg rock in lower orbit, do I get to name my moon, or will they just name it S/2005 SR26GC3.14159265357?
Which makes me wonder, have we named or numbered our own moon yet? Can I call shotgun and call it 'fp!'?
They'll either be able to use this stuff ?

"They'll either be able to use this stuff or sell it off for a decent profit."
Hmm. Nuns with 5.25" floppies. They cant go too far with that.
While youre at it, send them BNC ethernet cables, tokenring cards, EGA video cards and those giant Soundblaster ISA cards. They'll wonder why www.vatican.ca doesnt come up on Netscape 3.0 running on Windows 95. And why the heck doesnt USB work.
I've seen countless Pentium1 PCs under the rain out in driveways around here. Check their prices on eBay. In most cases the sellers are trying to make $$$ from shipping and 'handling'.
More realistic is sending them off to Mosques running FreeBSD. Chances are they dont need graphics cards and X
If the code in its entirety is leaked to a real self-respecting hacker, he ought to port the thing to x86 systems, possibly building a network driver interface to linux's network drivers. Before you know it, there are dell machines routing packets using IOS 12.4.
Hopefully that will motivate someone to build an IOS clone on an OpenBSD or NetBSD subsystem for multiple architectures...
"Should I just switch to another manufacturer until I suffer a rash of failures again and then move to the next company?"
Yeah.
Remember the thousands who lost their lives during the Cold War? In Afghanistan, Vietnam, Somalia and so many other places?? They fought for the capitalist way of life.... open market.
"To some folk in the world, 5 hurricanes in a row in one small part of the world is considered "interesting"....."
Heck one hurricane is interesting where theres hardly any wind.
"Skipping past peer review sort of invalidates the point of being some of the journals, doesn't it?"
Apparently he was more interested in the readers' views than the peer review itself.
"Hey, if you have something to say, we all want to be heard, but paid distribution of your comment may always be seen as self-promoting."
Me thinks it was self-promoting. If my articles are rejected from a journal, I'll try to develop them further, rather than shove it down peoples throats.
"In either case, did anyone figure out if he was right?"
Its a medical journal. Theres no right or wrong, just opinions, given the 33-odd positive replies.
I've seen researchers who submit an article after a great deal of research, and word it properly so it gets published quick. And then I've seen researchers so convinced of their own work, they just move to other journals, mailing lists etc rather than even consider they might be wrong. We wouldnt know of the importance of this guys actual work; journal editors arent exactly renowned for being the authority on facts.
They take in a Linux guy (if thats what he really is), to be able to figure out why people are so motivated to work on OSS. He's their labrat.. I assume they still let him work on OSS projects so he remains a Linux guy. A real Linux dude will do his best to setup secure servers against MS servers, instead of jilted servers to prove Linux has a higher TCO.
They should ideally also keep him around to (1) constantly criticize MS from within (2) keep a testbench of MS-OSS projects they could sell in the future... like samba code in windows networking, and stuff like Xen, and other filesystems in win32/64.
Companies like via, nvidia, intel produce chips which will tend to the largest market segment, which is how they produce chips with everything on board at a cheap price. If they produced chipsets of different types, the production runs will be smaller, support and testing costs larger and pricing higher. I actually expect the likes of AMD to release CPU+chipset chips with say the top 256MB of ram built-in, along with both the north and south bridge, nic phy, audio and usb and everything else in between. The resulting board+cpu will be cheaper than the current board+cpus.
AMD actually currently integrates the north bridge in the athlon64 if I'm not wrong.
Even if you want architectural simplicity and efficiency, its hard to find a simple ARM, m68k or ppc microcontroller without something built-in specialized for its market.Having just a no-frills set of parts was last seen in the 8086 and 6502 days in which each chip did only one thing. And it was expensive as hell.
I certainly wouldnt mind an x64 win64 version. A proper one, not one that says "Gecko Browser" where extensions dont work, and plugins dont work (maybe it needs x64 plugins i which case I'm complaining about the lack thereof).
Most satellite maps have high detail pictures of american and european cities, and very low resolution of remote villages in afghanistan and the gobi desert. I wonder if this image will really map all of the world's surface.
You may be surprised to find this letter. I am the trustworthy president of an upstart tech company that uses Samba and WINE, and we need some source code to tie those two with ReactOS to innovate a complete operating system that we can sell for $5. We expect to make $6.2 MILLION DOLLARS and we will need to transfer these funds abroad.
Would be cool if the data becomes pirated. We can recompile the thing for x86 or x64 machines. Imagine how long a build world will take.
In all obviousness AIX does not contain SCO code, heck SCO is in no position to accuse that at all... Novell owns the trademark. Either way, SCO should now provide its own code for comparison.
Good things will happen. SCO's case will be thrown out and they'll be bankrupted, most UNIX sourcecode will become available, Solaris will be opensourced, and future lawsuits of these types will be thrown out making Linux more resilient in the corporate.
The newest AMD chips run at 30W. Get one of those and slap on a good large copper heatsink, one with real thin blades. Use Cool n Quiet to run it at half the speed.
What you have here is the most powerful chip anywhere than can run with only a heatsink.

Looking forward.. now thats a different story.

A liquid or solid condensate at room temp exhibiting BEC properties will be nice. I wonder if liquid helium can be made that way.
Just pop open the bottle and show friends how the BEC flows up the wall.. down the bottle, over your arm and onto the floor..
I thought liquid helium was the best way to learn about BECs

You buy blades to serve 1000 users on Linux?

Good read, esp the second one. I didnt know this happened.
There should be a way to check for radioactivity everywhere, maybe geiger counters mounted on police cars or something.

Probably the same reason why I'd like to get a pre-SystemV UNIX for my minivax, and port new apps like samba, ssh and (if video exists) doom to it.
Now why would you hand over a server? 80 gigs are doable on a small stack of dual-layer DVDs.
If thats their preferred media, I'll order all the free trialware I can find on ibm.com, and start a hosting company.
Would be cool if the data becomes pirated. We can recompile the thing for x86 or x64 machines. Imagine how long a build world will take.
