You're right. It is clearly an unsurmountable hurdle. Obviously, it isn't like there are common devices in millions of homes that convert radio signals into moving pictures.
It is a neat idea and all, but i'd prefer a simple VGA->radio->VGA system over a tablet PC + wifi (which is what this looks like). Then I could use my wireless mouse and keyboard and be set. Back when I had a windows machine, I never needed to remotely administrate it (it was just a gaming machine-- it didn't matter if it crashed while i was out). Of course, then there is VNC if you want a full blown desktop anywhere solution.
L4 and L5 are both located one equilateral triangles with the significant masses (the earth and sun, in this case). I don't think it would make a terrible lot of difference either way.
On the other hand, if we start building stuff on the moon we will probably get into a whole "territorial fight" with other countries and wind up killing ourselves because the weapons we used on the moon somehow changed its orbit. Thus allowing the earth to fall into natural disaster chaos.
Have you considered writing for hollywood? I hear Bruce Willis is bored...
I had a thinkpad (I think it was a 133mhz, it has been awhile) that survived a house fire. Plastic on the other side of the house melted, but the thinkpad in the adjacent room survived with only smoke damage (it was off, with the lid closed, but no protective case or anything).
WHY post about it? I mean, come on. We're going to hear nothing but bullshit from SCO until they go under, why even bother listening? The only possibly important part will be the court hearings and we have awhile before those.
Everyone, breathe in, breathe out. Chill. Just chill.
There's no stable solution, assuming it is a one dimensional problem (i.e. one can only be on a liberal-conservative spectrum). Of course, even if you extend it to be a multi-dimensional system, the parties (or food stands or whatever) will still end up together, in the middle.
What is unix and what isn't is a matter of opinion (well, at least some people seem to think so). Most people decide based on the interface. If it has the same functions as the other UNIXes (plus maybe even a few new ones), has the same file structure/permissions system (implied by the software interface), and the same kind of user/group ideas, it is generally considered unix. Even if the internals are not BSD, if it looks the same to the applications, most people would count that.
I've never really understood the point, because 'commonly ocuring problems/projects' are, by definition, commonly occuring. People who have spent any amount of time as a junior developer or a computer science student have been handheld through these types of scenarios about 1,000 times before they actually get to design anything important on their own. Beyond that, you're never going to be able to account for the wide varieties of situations that occur in the real world with one book full of templates. Maybe someone can sell this point to me?:)
We have a new record! Someone didn't even make it all the way through the article TITLE. First, it was rtfa (the linked article). Then it was rtfa (the slashdot article). Now do we need to go to rtft (read the fucking title)? The article is about diebold ATMs, not voting machines.
What will we complain about now? It plays ogg. It sync via ethernet.
We're going to have to find a new gold standard, and fast!
My experience with XML

Effective XML

· Score: 4, Insightful
It has been my experience with XML that it is like a lot of other things in development: the good developers understand it immediately and have native intuition towards best practices. The bad developers never really get it and spend their time reproducing tricks they saw in a cookbook. That's good and fine until you need something that doesn't quite fit into categories a, b or c. Another example of this is how high school and university data structure/algorithm classes never spend any time of development of new data structures that exactly meet the problem specification. Instead they lay out half a dozen types of linear lists, a couple of trees, and some hashing functions and say, "Well, you can glue just about anything together from this." Perhaps this book takes what is, IMHO, the better approach-- laying out the tools and politely explaining what the implication of each is, rather than attempting to list out pages of cute examples of what each can do.
You probably shouldn't be quoting any kind of "Bob's World of Great Scientific Insight" type pages anyway. I mean, the majority of sites that go under in less than 100 days are the one person operations that one should identify as bad sources anyway. So it might seem obvious that quoting someone's blog in a research paper is just a plain stupid idea, but it happens way more often than you might think.

Linux in 2004?

Umm... how long has it been since you've used linux? Copy and paste works just fine gnome, for example. And considering the fact that I never even have to LOOK for an installer for what I want, I would say installation is easy (for the curious, emerge on gentoo using kemerge-- so don't give me any of that 'you have to install from the command line' stuff).
Slashdot Mirror
Just watch the court dates. Put in the short sell order to end maybe a day after the court sesssion ends. Then when the stock goes from $16 to $4...

Hm. No binary, no violation.
'fumble' implies that at&t didn't mean for it to happen.

Same Trick, Second Page.

For those too lazy to do it themselves.

Just to clarify, I was joking.
I had a thinkpad (I think it was a 133mhz, it has been awhile) that survived a house fire. Plastic on the other side of the house melted, but the thinkpad in the adjacent room survived with only smoke damage (it was off, with the lid closed, but no protective case or anything).

Or you just quit being so weak you fucking european/canadian communist.

Just keep banging out those karma-lovin' CPD posts.

If I were in congress, I think I would just start voting down anything with a clever acronym for a name....
Life is busy enough without writing your own infrastructure code.
No, life is busy enough without having to learn anything else about java, ever, thanks.
Halfway kidding.
Hmm... so, for example if it had a parent link, much like this one doesn't, it would be a reply, correct? So what, exactly, is your point?
