At every point in time multidimensions branch off. The discovery of the higgs destroys the dimension in which it is discovered. We are still here to observe the lack of a higgs so in our dimension discovery failed.
Therefore, Observers can only exist in dimensions where the ability/device to discover the higgs fails.
Thank you, I was completely unaware of the distinction before you pointed it out.
There does seem to be a trend in giving away their core products. They seem to have been forced into giving away vmware player as a reaction to ms giving away virtual pc. A great innovative company which I hope doesn't go under in an overzealous bid to gain market share.
Yes, I think it might end up being a technically brilliant but maybe just not engaging/fun to play. Of course like most of the discussion about spore at the moment this is just wild speculation.
With the increasing number of quality web apps (gmail, google docs, meebo, facebook) A small computer that can run firefox would be really useful. Obviously requires a good net connection. So many peoples use of a computer now falls into wordprocessor + email + web browsing for which a small portable computer
is fine. And with the rise of web apps it is increasily becoming just web access thats required.
Again i agree that in an ideal world it should stand on it own. But absolutely defined specs are hard (see spec for kilogram for example) hence the need for reference implementations. I guess my real point is pragmatically with the spec + office(to clear up a few ambiguities ) it should be able to create compatible programs.
Is it is ideal? No. Is it workable? probably?
I agree with the general point that the spec. should be more carefully defined. However, in practise does MS office not act as a reference implementation to clear up ambiguities?

The Birth of vi

· Score: 5, Interesting
> It was a world that is now extinct. People don't know that vi was written for a world that doesn't exist anymore
I use vi everyday but i've long stopped recommending it to most people i introduce to linux. it really doesn't seem worth steep learning curve for most people.
Jajah call works by making 2 two local calls to to the participants and then connecting these two local calls over the internet (voip). The advantage for international calling should be obvious.
In normal use jajah requires you to credit your account (visa,mastercard etc) and then charges for calls. And although you could use it for prank calls by registering someone else phone number then connecting them to someone else (the queen or whoever) you would have to pay.
There is a free trail where you could set up a prank call for free but your friends wouldn't pay, it would be jajah that would pick up the bill.
Unless in the US or somewhere you have to pay to *receive* calls but even then it wouldnt cost your friend anymore than if you phoned him/her normally.
Most students will welcome this. Most dont know or want to know what pop/smtp/imap are
The Windows Live mail interface is looking pretty good. And most importantly they will be able to take their email address with them when they graduate.
The university doesn't have to provide the email service saving IT money for wireless networks etc

No it doesn't unless the copyright holder says so or relinquishes the copyright. However, for many of these old games the copyright holders seem to have no interest it pursuing the infringements. I guess this is either because they see it as harmless or the potential reward for enforcing is too little to justify it.
Abandonware is illegal but whether its ethical is more complex.
I'm surprised by all the negative comments about wine/crossover office. I switched to Linux as my main desktop a few months back and have just recently deleted my windows partition. I use crossover everyday to work on office docs to share with my colleagues and it has performed superbly. Crossover office/wine is a real asset to linux and allows many more people to make the switch to linux.

In the early days of windows, up until directX, we had to reboot back to dos for games.
Windows will like DOS in the old days. We will have to reboot back to it for games but will favor games that can run in the new modern os.
Yes i agree with your friend. I still use my chisel and stone tablet for all my important work.
