Robert J. Stevens, chief executive of the Lockheed Martin Corporation, the nation's biggest military contractor, said he envisioned a "highly secure Internet in which military and intelligence activities are fused," shaping 21st-century warfare in the way that nuclear weapons shaped the cold war.
Every member of the military would have "a picture of the battle space, a God's-eye view," he said. "And that's real power."
Man this Robert J. Stevens is one twisted puppy.
I suppose in his world God is on his side, and the killing of others is all O.K. as long as they are infidels, civilians and combatants alike.
"GIM" sounds good to me, after my recent experiences with home clients Comcast cable modems and AOL Hell any way of avoiding them and the "DeathStar" sound good to me. And the icing on the cake, Google uses FreeBSD!
FreeBSD 5.0 is as important a milestone as ever seen in the *NIX world. Many new features and core technologies are incorporated in this release.
The main problems with this release will be caused by the "Chicken or Egg Conundrum", in that the release will spur many new 5.0 users, whose input will come "after" the pre-release testing process, finding bugs that are not apparent in the release candidate series due to limited testing on the incredibly varied hardware and software systems found in the "wild".
This is not a FreeBSD specific problem, this is a reflection of the reality of a volunteer based project with limited resources.
The incredible speed that FreeBSD developers, contributers, and users update and solve problems is amazing. Just check the mail list archives for *many* examples of this!
IMHO many of the best and brightest minds in the *NIX world have gravitated to the BSD's stability and more structured development model. For younger readers a "structured" development model may seem to be a turn off, but a few years of real world experience will certainly temper this argument.
Thanks and Best Wishes to the BSD community, and when the dust settles FreeBSD 5.X will be the standard others are compared to.
How about using excess (off-peak) power to pump water to an uphill reservoir that also is a heat sink via a floating cover (like a pool cover). Then when needed return the power via hydro-generator and use the heat value of the water also.
With the improvements in superconducting transmission lines this starts to really become a win/win situation. And the areas where these things would be built could really use the economic benefits.
Dr. Hodges solution appears to be a combination of several farming techniques that maximize the usefulness of each byproduct. He is referring to creating these farms in areas that are not already mangrove swamp areas and are located near sea-water so the problems of soil and ground water salination are moot.
"A coastal plain made barren by deforestation and desertification is springing to life with vital economic activity, new mangrove wetlands, and nearly 150 bird species."
It is not a requirement for these farmers to maximize shrimp production for cash, thus the need for antibiotics in a stressed mono-culture environment, it is an attempt at a balanced sustainable production of many consumable products without the waste of usable byproducts.
You may not be able to feed "The World" with these techniques, but to create a better place for these local people is a step in the right direction.
Actually , it's Shepherd not Shepard. Also the German term for the training of working police/civilian service type shepherds is "Schutzhund", roughly "Protection Dog"
What would a tracedump smell/look like from one of these sniffing pooches ?

Actually I think Dennis Ritchie is quite proud of his brain children the BSD's.
Will less film manufacturing cause a decline in silver demand?
And will the reduction in demand lead to a lower price?

Well time to add Nikkon to my list:
Toshiba: Boycott due to selling advanced CNC milling equiptment to the U.S.S.R. that allowed them to make quieter nuke subs.
Sony: Boycott for propriatory audio formats and lack of MP3 support, along with a reduction in quality of their products.

Robert Heinlein had a pretty good method to get the metals back from the moon in the classic "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress".
Just don't let that Al Queda guy drive the catapult on the moon.

The error in the sym driver you speak of is on
a SPARC based system, a very small percentage
of the FreeBSD user base. This is not an i386
issue.
Nothing to see here, move along

This is probably the most effective way to put pressure on this corporation to recind it's ridiculous posistion.
