Anyone have any idea on whether AMD and Alpha might merge the way PA-RISC and IA did? Would this be technologically and economically feasible/practical? The use of a motherboard standard between the two is interesting.
What's wrong with "destroying" cultural differences (as if it would enourage one culture at the expense of another)? Would the money have been spent on Africa if it wasn't being spent on this wire? If they don't want it enough, they won't use it. Nothing is forcing them to, or if it is, they're using it because the perceived pros outweigh the cons, and that's their decision.
But then they would have had to pay licensing fees to ATT for every copy sold. MS likes being the recipient of royalties and licensing fees, not the giver of them.
I'm mildly annoyed that nothing saw fit to inform me this was a javascript page. I made my selections, then stared for a second at a label [Button] that I couldn't select, and Clear, that I could.
No, I wouldn't want his life. I'm kind of impotently mad that he's hardly doing anything. If I was in his place I'd have taken bigger risks, diversified alot more, and just plain done a bunch of additional things. He's not doing enough. $100 billion is chicken feed. I'm mad that people think this is all so great, when his entire gross worth would barely buy a couple of space stations.
A way to set this up initially would be to have it occur sequentially. That way the system would be very easy to debug, and you'd only have to control one part of it at a time. You don't need a control grid, if there's only one track the protein can travel.
That's why this should be done in a controlled environment, at least initially. We should never go so far "in the wild" that we can no longer recover/halt whatever disasters may occur.
What defines "getting ahead"? Your goals are not necessarily mine. Morality is not necessarily irrational, certain people's moral systems may be, but other's may not be.
The trick of this is to get the dividing cloned cells to specialize as cells of whatever organ/body part you're trying to replace. You'll probably have to use scaffolding to mold it. Things similar to this are currently being done, though not nearly of this magnitude.
When they expire in 2001, I'll buy them up for a dime - a quarter each including s/h, until I decide I don't want anymore. Email me if you want to get rid of any.
Is that 3 orders of magnitude price/performance for everything? How cheap is this? What price/performance are they comparing it to?
Additionally, it's the HAL system that's supposed to be up to 60,000 times faster, not this one.
I don't know if I believe this, as they say they're going to focus on the supercomputers, because they somehow couldn't make money on the home copmuters. If they sell 100 supercomputers a year for a maximum $26 million each, that's only a gross profit of $2.6 billion. Couldn't they give themselves a profit margin of 50% (not great considering the supposed 1000x improvement of price/performance), and sell a lot of pc's and make more than this in a year? At the very least, they should have investors galore trying to give them enough money to do this, or to hire enough people/places to focus on the HAL, and the home use.
It's called a model. If you had a model of the time machine, and could scientifically/mathematically explain how it would work, then I'm sure MIT would love to have you. It's possible to know how something can work, but just not have the capabilities to create it.
Where's your consideration for those who cope best by remembering a person in all their respects, by remembering how that person impacted their lives and made them think. You're the cold-hearted one here, who demands others to cope in exactly the same way you do; who demands others to have consideration for you when you aren't willing to have consideration for them. I make no such demands, because I know it is logically inconsistent and morally indefensible.
You have all the right in the world to demand this though, and express outrage at the current treatment, just as I have the right to reciprocate.
I appreciate these comments, and I hope DeForest Kelley would, too. Life goes on. It's appropriate to affirm the curiosity and insights of life that a person's life and death gives us. It is the ultimate tribute in my opinion.
I believe you comment is equally innapropriate. Unfortunately I backarrowed too much and lost my three-paragraph explanation.
I believe that expressing the curiosity and insights a person's life and death has given us is the ultimate tribute to their life. Life goes on, being able to affirm this is a tribute to DeForest Kelley's memory.
It saddens me that you are unable to grasp how significant a testimony to the effect he had on our lives these statements are. I hope DeForest Kelley would have been honored to know how much of an impact on our thought processes and emotions Hemos' and the others' statements show.
It saddens me that you are too wrapped up in believinng that your method of morning is the only appropriate mehtod to see that otherrs are just as appropriate and meaningful to those who make it.

Don't say "can't" until it's been tried. If anyone can dominate the OS culture, Bill Gates would stand a good chance at it.
I would have said, "Different motivations for different people.". There are a variety of reasons. Why did Steve Wozniak quit Apple to teach children?

He would have made his own. It's known that Einstein enjoyed being eccentric.

It's a Judge Dredd thing.

That's what I was implying.

Yeah, but hasn't Lucas stated in interviews that he is trying to teach lessons? If he is, it's ok to take all of their possible meanings seriously.

Nver mind, it's been too long since I've read the diary.
I thought Alan Cox said he'd go up to 2.0.38 a while back in his diary.
At no point does the message say you are *required* to buy the product to get the source.
Read the GPL section 3 sub a. You may as well read the rest of section 3, too. They can do this.
Man I wish I has a room temperature IQ!!
We're talking Kelvin, right?
