Back when they made King's Quest V in the mid-90s, they had a preview/making-of movie that came with it. They showed all the production that went into it that exceeded several million dollars. It only seemed to make sense at that point that games where really going to take off and eventually have several 100 million dollar budgets.
Wow! I haven't looked at the rosegarden project in a long time, but from looking at those screenshots, they have come a LONGGGG way. I remember when it used to just be a very simple notation program.
Open Source is getting there. Wherever there may be.
Harvard does a study about cost of cell phones in regards to cell phones and lost lives saying that business of $46 billion is more important than losing 2600 people to cell phone related car accidents. Thus, the value of a human life is around $17,692,307
Diebold faulty voting machines -> Bush gets relected -> War in Iraq Continues -> 10,000 - 100,000 innocent people die.
Diebold should have to pay a lot more than 2.6 million. In my estimate, they should be paying around 1.7 trillion.
Yeah, shameless plug. But it wasn't completely advertising. I did have a point about how OSS supporting folks are more likely to support any business that supports OSS.
No mention is made of what happens when a brick in the middle of the cube needs
Maybe a solution to something like this would be to have some kind of rubik's cube like configuration where the data would still be accessable as long as it was connected to at least one other block, but you could move the blocks around in a preset way along "rails"
10,000 names on a page are so many that practically none of them will be readable and it will create confusion by people reading the add wondering why there is soo much background in a full page add.
Usually with anything new there is a time frame where it is tested and we can make sure that its use is predictable.
But with this, as far as I know, the human brain has never been used to control anything besides its own body. So I would think that it will take a long time for this kind of technology to be tested enough and accepted as something that works and is well understood.
Uh, because I didn't know about jhead. But beyond that, sometimes doing strings on things helps give better clues than interpreting programs can. strings is more generic and just shows me everything. Humans can often see patterns that computer programs cannot.

We won't destroy the earth (unless we physically blew it up). What will probably happen is that life (probably not ours) will adapt to the new warmer or colder climate and go on. After all, not all life on earth thrives due to an oxygen rich 72 degree atmosphere. Some life flourishes in places that are deadly to us humans.
Haha, I was waiting for someone to make a joke like that. Or someone to say something about the picture having to do with alien activity which caused time to move backwards.
Actually, I think that's a very probable explaination. Plus, it is probably the simpilist one. Usually street lights do funny things when they turn off or on. And the lighting of the scene looks like it is dawn or dusk.
Koyaanisqatsi was the title of the 1983 film which has the prophecy:
"If we dig precious things from the land, we will invite disaster. Near the Day of Purification, there will be cobwebs spun back and forth in the sky. A container of ashes might one day be thrown from the sky, which could burn the land and boil the oceans."
Did you even read what I wrote? I understand the difference between a RAM and the chips on it. But what I don't understand is if there is somehow a difference between the chips that they so often talk about in articles like this one and the chips on a ram stick. Because from the numbers that are stated in various articles, I would think that there is a difference. Besides, 256Mb X 4 != 1GB Unless you meant to say 256MB.
Well that answers the question in relation to this article. But generally whenever there is some story in a tech magazine about a big corporation that just fit X Mbits (and I know the relation between a Mb and MB) on a chip, it doesn't quite make sense with real world products.
For instance, I've seen some articles for RAM talk about companies fiting 256Mbits on a chip, but at the time of the article, 1GB dimms where commonly available and so this article wasn't really a bit deal. This led me to think that chips where not necessarily the chips that you count on a dimm module.
IBM will be able to build 256Mb or 512Mb SRAM chips
One thing I've never really known is what does this type of figure translate to in terms of real amount of RAM on a memory module that I would stick in my computer?
Its always hard to tell because there is such a long time between companies saying that they have made X Mb fit on a chip to the time that they make a 512MB dimm.

LCD TVs over Plasma
I was thinking that they meant to display LCD TV over a plasma medium. Kinda like PPP over ethernet, or Voice over IP, or Ethernet over Reality TV.

This was actually smart to open a music download service that is geek/oss-friendly.
Our web/email hosting business has been getting a lot of signups simply because we support open source software proudly and display it on our website.
You know, sometimes slashdot reminds me of that old Weird Al movie UHF:
Stanley Spadowski: Who wants to take a drink from the fire hose!
*Kid gets knocked up against the wall by the water pressure*
Slashdot is the water pressure.

But still not as dumb as a bunch of Star Warsies in Wal-Mart at 12:01am buying The Phantom Menacy on DVD and humming it.
Star Wars... nothing but Star Wars. Nothing but Star Wars. Dumb dumb dumb dumbbbb.

Why the heck are you running "strings"?
