Its dimensions are somewhere between Progress and Salyut, which makes sense given that it's currently being used like Salyut as a testbed, but will eventually be used like Progress as a resupply craft for a larger station.
There are several standards right now: - Russia and Europe (Soyuz, Progress, and ATV) use SSVP, which is high impact so I can see why the Chinese avoided it. - The Shuttle used APAS, which is what the Chinese are using to be compatible with ISS. (Originally developed for Soyuz-Apollo, so the Russians have it, but aren't using it.) - The Japanese HTV and current US vehicles (Dragon, Cygnus) don't dock, they berth on the CBMs - Commercial Crew will use ILIDS which is compatible with the actual standard, the International Docking System Standard that we'll all hopefully be using in the future.
Am I the only one who actually *liked* the physical keyboard and buttons on the old Kindle?
Apparently not, since they're still offering it. The line up of Kindles is getting rather ridiculous: - Non-touch without keyboard - Non-touch with keyboard (with or without 3G) - Touch (with or without 3G) - Tablet (fire) Each with or without ads. If they'd had this lineup 2 years ago at these prices, I'd've had a Kindle by now even though I don't have a significant use for one. As it is, I'll probably just buy a tablet.
Goodbye Mozilla, you clearly never learned one fucking thing from the Netscape disaster. You just never fucking listened to anyone who actually used your software.
No, that's what's so painful about this: they DID listen... and then they stopped. They used to be great, which makes the fall that much harder.
As far as I can tell, the Firefox team didn't know how to deal with their own success. They finally built a lightweight, extensible, standards compliant browser. After that, all they really needed to do was maintenance, and that wouldn't have required the same amount of resources. Improving the js engine is great, but other than bugfixes most their efforts would have been better spent on starting another project.
I, like you, used to be a huge proponent, but now I'm looking for an alternative.
Sometimes it's in the kitchen, sometimes it's in a video game, sometimes it's in the garden. I am constantly trying the same thing over and over again with different inputs to see how the results vary. It's never the kind of thing that I'd feel compelled to publish a paper about, but it's definitely experimentation along the scientific method.
Oh, man, if there were a way for me to contribute directly to NASA I would be all over that! I just sent my check to the Planetary Society, but it's not quite the same.
Uh, yeah. We're talking about a game where friendly fire is disabled by default, and they're complaining that the inability to kill civilians detracts from the realism? Why are we even having this discussion?
In the same way a fake Luis Vuitton is trying to copy on the success of a Luis Vuitton design, which is currently perfectly legal as long as it doesn't have Luis' name on it, the rest of the tablet market is trying to copy the success of the iPad by building something similar, which is itself also totally legal.
Except BSD suffers from this issue just as much as GPL. If the 'fair and reasonable' terms say that the producer owes.02 $CURRENCY for each copy made, then I can't put it under a license that allows you to make as many copies as you want without paying the fee.
I think you're a bit too defensive about this. GP clearly laid out the distinction that there are open standards that are free and those that are not. He then went on to argue that the ones that are free are better, which is the question at stake in this article. You're welcome to disagree with that, but you're going to need an argument to do it, since he laid his views out fairly and clearly.
Oh, for an edit button. I should have also added that the point about the package manager also giving a warning stands, but with that caveat the original point is still fair: The proper way to install software is through the package manager, and it should be trivial to add repos from outside the distro (even commercial ones)
Oh, I agree! So I think we're on the same page, but it's not silent. From the download page itself:
Note: Installing Google Chrome will add the Google repository so your system will automatically keep Google Chrome up to date. If you don't want Google's repository, do "sudo touch/etc/default/google-chrome" before installing the package.
And you're still welcome to. You can compile from source, you can install fron a.tar.gz, you can add a repo and install from Apt (since this is Ubuntu), you can do whatever you want. But you should NEVER dictate who I should trust, and if I'm installing Chrome (I haven't, but if I did) then I clearly trust Google, and should have the choice to let them add a repository if I want. Welcome to Linux.
I'll put in $100 for that! So... if we get everyone to pitch in that much on average, we can come up with at least $178,346,800... that sounds about right for Yahoo! these days, I think.
Since Spamhaus contests the jurisdiction, I doubt even that $3 will change hands. And, for the same reason, their lawyers didn't spend much (if any) time on the case. Oddly enough, despite 'winning' the spammers are the only ones out money because of this. All is right with the world.
It sounds to me like he's decided that he can't afford to fight (welcome to the US legal system!), so it doesn't matter what a judge would think. At this point he's just milking the Streisand Effect for what little he can get out of it, and if this happens to make them change their mind about going to court that's just a bonus.
I don't think it matters what the price is. All of the alternatives to Dragon (and NASA is almost certain to go with 2 options) are planned for the Atlas V, which is expensive enough that without a significant increase in flight rate I can't see it beating the Russians on price. The point is not to find the lowest cost provider, but to enable reasonably priced domestic providers.
I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that. Do you have any anecdotal data on lifespans? I would love to replace my incandescents, but it won't really make sense for me in most of my lamps until I know what the price premium actually is.
How much lighting do you have?! My electric bill in the winter (when the lights are on most) is a negligible part of my budget, and I have to assume that a large portion of that comes from computers/electronics. So, while it certainly may help I don't really care except to turn off the lights when I leave a room. If CFLs were as capable as incandescents (and it seems like they are for you) I'd probably switch slowly, but upfront cost is a huge barrier when my savings wouldn't be great. Now, propose a more efficient furnace or even air conditioner, and I'm all ears.
I have *some* desire to save power, and so I have CFLs installed in my stairways and basement. I have incandescents everywhere else (and am stocking up on them) because I have more desire to be able to dim. CFLs continue to be terrible about it, so I'm hopeful about LEDs. For the most part your point stands, but there are situations in which the comparison to incandescents is apt.
You can already get an Asus EEE Tab with a keyboard dock, which is ARM in a laptop form factor. I wouldn't exactly call it a laptop, though, because it isn't powerful enough to do what I would expect from a laptop. So the answer is going to be pretty arbitrary: you tell me what you expect from a laptop, and I'll tell you where that is on the ARM roadmap.

Optimal is what Google does with Chrome: you install the .deb, and it adds its own repository. You should never be forced to do that manually.

They just go the camera turned on, so no. It'll be back for a flyby in a couple years, though, so we should get a cooler shot then.

Oh, for mod points. I play DF in wine, even though it's native on Linux, just so I can hook up the Therapist.
