Wouldn't be as dramatic really if you saw a tiny, tiny, tine little fly-shit for a dot hitting the rather enormous planet Earth is in comparison with the true-scale asteroid...
I believe you can pull your code from the GPL if you so wish as owner of the code. Of course the code that's already released can't be touched, but you may release all future versions under a different licence of your choice.
Since he only reaches that speed due to lack of friction with the air, pretty much no rise of temp. when the air pressure slowly increases, he will slow down, but still hardly any increase, IMHO.
If you're thinking of something like the space shuttle, well, they go *damn* much faster.
I believe if you break the surface tension of the water, they might have a chance. Ever seen those jump competitions they have during the olympics? They usually have something (not sure what it's called) that bubbles air from the botton just underneath the trampoline, thus breaking the surface. This helps if the diver fails in hitting the water correctly.
But yes, you're right, 99% of the people hitting water after falling out of an airplane are very, very toast.
Ah, Active Directory, true... Suppose you could use LDAP instead, no? (Directory services are not really my strong point). And the etc?? would it be webservices and such? Well, not really part of the OS, but you can always use J2EE
While I agree with most of your post, the line about Linux not being able to fill NT's shoes seems a bit weird. What would NT be able to do that Linux wouldn't be able to? It's pretty much common knowledge that Linux + Samba slaps NT's fingers when it comes to filesharing in terms of reliability. NT is a quite mediocre server IMHO and while win2K is much better, I still take Linux/*BSD box anyday, they just work...
believe the NMT band (900MHz ???)was reserved for other purposes, which would render all NMT phones useless after a few years, remember the first year GSM had a bit of a failure feel around it, but boy, did that change. the (even older) NMT 450 MHz (?) is still around in the north...
America: first to play golf on the moon.... true, quite a feat;-)
Yes, we all know amreica is very forward in the tech area and other areas. But please stop whining about other people being jealous over you. Stop generalising so damn much.
and moderators, this is offtopic, but I *did* mark that out in the subject field.
There's an quite interesting article on the Register where the old BeOS developers who implemented the BeOS relational db/fs talks about their thoughts of the MS db/fs.
the old DR releases of BeOS also had a db as a filesystem. They left it for a more 'normal' fs since it bacame rather slow as things grew. Should be interesting to osee if ms can pull that one of
The did pretty much an overhaul from scratch with win2k. That's why it was so damn late. Now they gonna do it *all again*. Bet you 20p it's more a marketing spin this 'complete overhaul'.
But yes, if I'm wrong and they want to do it, sure why not? Doubt it's going to change that much though, except you might get a distributed clippy...
maybe not, can't find it, but someone else mentioned a good idea here on slashdot a few weeks ago. nOne could have 2 small sections connected with each other with a long cable and rotate around the cable with the middle of the cable serving as the centre of rotation. this would eliminate the risk of walking arouund with your head in 0G,while having 1G down by your feet, whith would happen in mir or the ISS if you started to rotate them.
Well, notvery smart of them taking *someone elses* technology and and extend it to their hearts content.. What, did they think sun would just let them do it like that without any grub? MS can always bundle a campatible version of a JVM (suns own, for example) but that's not really in their interest, so they bundle their old one - that way people can't complain their tryng to lock sun out from the win market.
So if someone duplicates you.. which one is really you? what happens to your sense of continuity?
You would both 2 different persons albeit with (very much) the same background. As time goes by different things will happen to the 2 different copies shaping theit minds and opinions differently from each other... Think of it as twins, sort of.
As said elsewhere, you have to put into account that if you take the counter-offer, you probably gonna get black-listed by that employment agency (who sometimes share their black lists with other agencies IIRC)... could be a bugger for your future career.

mind you might have been 10 am the next day.... :-)
that's what's drugs do to you!!
Yeah, couldn't make it to this one unfortunatelly, too much work for the moment.
;-)
I'll be there next time though!
A more normal pub would be nice as well, geeks drinking isn't usually a pretty sight!
I would die for the Karma category "Fascinating"

Java (capital J) is the platform, java (lowercase j) is the language
Believe one of the migs (forgot which) could do this as well. saw it on TV from some airshow in russia quite a few years back

wasn't a troll really, more dry wit IMHO.. funny though...

Or he could do what the rest of us do.. buy a dual- or triple-band phone.
The smart thing to do is not always the right thing to do. If you do the right thing, you are damn smart.
I liked that... nice one

Thought it was a quite nifty idea..

that's why you create Yet Another Yahoo Account for things like this!
Never trust people like this too much. Even if they got an OK licence agreement
nope standards are defined by standard bodies. What you talking about is de facto standards. which necesarily isn't the same thing
