Linux Is Cheaper

Most (maybe all...) linux people I know
actually get real world problems taken
care of. Why do they do it? Because they
love learning knew things and applying
that knowledge in the real world.
In the short-run, this can sometimes hurt a business, because the DIY crowd often like to build it themselves rather than buy it. But in the
long-term (and with proper management), having a crowd of DIY people will save you a bundle. While the windows support staff are stuck trying to install MS-Word,
the linux folks are fixing router problems, patching security holes and tuning your intranets.
"The idea is to come to the NSDL, where you could find some good brain pictures and know where they came from," Saylor said. "They would have a certain level of authority. Every collection is identified for the user."
If they can pull that off, then the library could be very interesting.
I was looking for something terribly complicated and
looking awesome to the eye...

Controlling nanoscale magnetic fields that exist in less than one dimension may prove problematic...
Am I the only one having problems understanding that article? I'm not a physicist, but I didn't think anything could exist in less than one dimension. Freaky.

Discovering New Music?

· Score: 3, Interesting
I often run across blogs that discuss music, but most of them are specialized (lots of metal). And even from what I find, I've found it increasingly difficult to read about what others think about a particular song. I mean, writing about music is like dancing to a book.
Being a 23 year old woman, these things sound pretty cool. I can't wait to try them out. I bet they had people like me in mind when they made them (my demographic).
But I wonder how dirty they get? Plastic seems to attract dirt worse than aluminum.
I'm a 23 year old woman, and I'll tell you what, a little sex in your blog will really spice it up. I used to just list links to programming and silly web sites, but now I occasionally add entries that detail my sex life. Readership has increased 5-fold.
As soon as humans have the ability to stop a hurricane from hitting Louisiana, you know they will. If a hurricane is going to cost 10 billion dollars in damage, but it will only cost 500 hundred thousand dollars to steer the hurricane away, what do you think the insurance companies will do?
At least, that is what the insurance companies will do the first dozen or so times. They will eventually get sued by the people that were adversely effected by the hurricane's new route. It'll all balance out, eventually. The rich will still get richer.
Copyright protection lasts only 50 years in Europe compared to 95 years in the United States, even if the recordings were originally made and released in America..
For crying out loud... only 50 years?! Poor Elvis, he is going to have to stop collecting European royalties from his music. Luckily, he can still collect money from Americans. I wouldn't want Elvis to have to get another job. What will he do? Start flipping burgers?
Amish beliefs are a little more complex than that.
Here's an excerpt from a small FAQ:
If they don't use electricity, how can the Amish sometimes have water heaters, stoves and refrigerators in their homes?
First, the Amish use gas in many of these instances. Many appliances that we run on electricity can be converted to run on natural gas. Also, some have windmills on their property which generate power. This is acceptable because it is self-reliance on a natural , Godly source of power as opposed to being connected to our power lines with their man-made electricity.
There's just one problem. How do you bring the Web to people who don't have phone lines -- or even electricity?
The NYT article then explains that the villagers are powering their computers using pedal-power. I wonder how long it'll be before they use pedal-power to power their cell-phones and pda's?
And I wonder if the amish will start using technology like this? I know they are (mostly) strictly against electricity, but this could be a loophole.

And on-topic, I hope that Java/Oracle/Perl/Web/Unix relevant languages are popular. If only I could see the list.

ac, you fail it.
I prefer the Unix console, myself.

I'm a 23 year old woman, and I think iMac's are great! That's pretty much the demographic that Apple is going for, and it is working.
That in reference to a misspelling in the memo. That's some pretty juicy stuff they found there.
