From a news article I read, it did not say anything about size, but they did say that it was because one of the grooves in the brain was incomplete, unlike in most humans. This incomplete groove was present on both sides of his brain. This allowed faster communication between two different regions in Einstein's cerebral cortex. Also, the large groove down the center of Einstein's brain was also incomplete, which would have directly connected both halves of Einstein's cerebral cortex.
Both the NSI and ICANN are both major problems. They are both trying to privatize the Internet and exploit it for their own profit. They both must be eliminated, either by political means, economic means, or if it comes to it, shutting them down by hacking into and screwing up their servers. Get around both NSI and ICANN by only using the *.us domain and other country code based domains. That is how you get around NSI and ICANN's control. If everybody does this, they will be financially in the hole, and forced to give in.
Heck, if "open source" was a trademark, you'd have to go and put "tm" with it whereever you use it, and the OSI could control the usage of that term. At least "OSI certified" doesn't give direct control of the term "open source" to one organization. What if Microsoft or the new triumvirate (AOL-Netscape-Sun) try to pay off the OSI with huge quantities of money so they can control the usage of the term "open source"? At least they can't do that now.
Sun is not providing the OS. The AOL-Netscape-Sun triumvirate knows this. They know that the average user isn't going to use Solaris. They are trying to be platform independent. Heck, you can get Netscape for Linux, and Linux is an operating system competing with Solaris.
Try to get a job at MIT. Professors have lots of free time, so they have plenty of time to work on their own projects, such as writing open source software.
I agree. I personally want to move to Sweden to get away from the fucking American corporate domination, idiotic bureaucracies, and the fact that in the US, people's rights are all but illusions. People can't violate your rights here (unless they have lots of money), but corporations can pretty much trample right over your rights. If the corporations and the government are working together, your rights are virtually nonexistant. If a corporation sues you, even if their case is total crap, you pretty much lose or end up fleeing to Canada. I'm also a socialist, and I want to move to a socialist country.:-)
In the US, the government bows to the corporation's wishes. It would probably be better if the corporations had to bow to the government's wishes. More environmental regulation, require genetically engineered products (even if the are not for human use) have to pass FDA standards for safety, no tariffs or any of that shit to protect US businesses from foreigners, no doing the business's bidding in court, higher minimum wage, more labor regulations, etc.
Have the machine crash while verifying a newly formatted SCSI hard drive on a Mac. The old SCSI hard drive will be corrupted, but somewhat usable. Unfortunately, the corrupted hard drive can never be repaired through software means. I once accidentally did this. My new hard drive was spared but my old one was mortally wounded. It still worked for a while, but worked worse and worse until my computer didn't even register its existance anymore.
Even if NT is a faster file and HTTP server, you have to realize that NT is very unstable, while Linux is one of the most stable operating systems. Even if Linux + Apache is slower than NT, you don't want your file or web server going down often. A Linux based server may be slower, but it won't go down often, if at all. NT has a horrible track record of being unstable, while Linux has a great track record of being very stable.
This may explain why many sysops prefer NT over Linux or Uniz.
What, you think that Socialism is a very whacky and very scary idea. Well for corporations, religious groups, anti-abortion protesters, corporate lobbying groups, the healthcare industry, utilities, insurance companies, HMOs, anyone who thinks ( socialism == communism ), people who have a paranoid fear of taxes, and right-wingers in general, it is a very scary idea. And I also think that strict environmental controls are also a very good idea. And corporations are just as scared of environment controls as they are of socialism. I also think that it would be a good idea to adopt the metric system and use military time with all the place holder zeros, as well as the day-month-year date format.
Let's make the US as socialist and as liberal as Sweden! Free healthcare, free 6 week vacations, free utilities, free pension for people over age 65, free insurance, free housing for the poor, free education (including college), and free unemployment pay for all! And while we're at it, implement strict environmental controls and only use hydroelectric, wind, and nuclear power! And to top it off, adopt the metric system, and the Dutch time and date format!
As a programmer who is currently writing a *very* powerful scripting language that straddles the line between a scripting language and a programming language, SLIC is pathetic. No user-defined functions, no local variables, no objects, no parameter passing, no class inheritance, etc. SLIC makes Perl look great.
SLIC sucks - Activision must have really underpaid programmers working on this game who don't know how to write scripting languages!
Linux should only be called GNU/Linux if the FSF created Linux. gcc, gtk, etc. were created by the FSF, but Linux wasn't. Linus Torvalds created Linux, and he didn't create Linux for the FSF. You never hear about Perl being called GNU/Perl, gperl, or GPerl, because Perl was not created by the FSF. So the same should be true with Linux.
So how the heck are we supposed to stop Milosevic's genocidal campaign in Kosovo. The US tried diplomacy, but it turned out to do nothing because Milosevic rejected all of the possible solutions that were enforceable. The only diplomatic solutions Milosevic would accept were ones which were impossible to enforce, and therefore wouldn't end the genocide.
The Germans ended their air war a little too soon. If they had pulled through, I wouldn't be responding to your posting. The Germans didn't know how close to victory they had gotten. Another thing that saved Great Britain's ass was that it had much better pilots than the Luftwaffe pilots. A pure air war is not as effective as a blitzkrieg, which combines infantry, armor, and air power. Just look at the Six Day War:Israeli Airstrike 5 June 1967. The Israeli air force hit the surrounding countries' airbases so fast that their enemies didn't know what hit them. And then the Israelis sent in their armor and infantry to clean up the mess. Even though the Israelis did use armor and infantry, it was the Israeli air force which brought Egypt, Syria, etc. to their knees. When the six day war was over, the Israelis had a total victory.
A main purpose to moderation is to clean away the crap. This requires demotion, because the default score that people view is 0. There are probably going to some really good posts and a whole lot of bullshit.
Isn't it ironic that people like my fellow slashdotters and myself complain about the very slashdot effect problem that they also help contribute to and help strengthen?!
Kernel - Choose version closest to the pure Linus Torvalds Linux kernel. I'm personally planning to get Linux for my PCI PPC PowerMac, and I've chose LinuxPPC over other versions, such as MkLinux, even though it is harder to use than MkLinux because it is more pure. MkLinux is slower, and is built on top of the Mach microkernel. Mac OS X was originally meant to be on top of Mach, but now it appears that Apple intends to make Mac OS X pretty much a version of Unix with the Mac user interface. Apple is trying to migrate the Mac towards being a Unix box.

This is just a sign that Network Solutions's time has come has that and that they must be destroyed!
In this case, the government is your enemy. Do not bow to the government's regulations. Defy the government. The government is against you.
These days, the US seems like it is becoming a fascist nation.

I think they've already developed the MP4, but I'm not completely certain.

Then move Segfault to Sweden.
If you actually go to the front page at BeDope, you can easily tell that this is just a joke. Here is the list of the supposed victims:
Microsoft
Apple
the Vatican
Coca-Cola
LucasArts
Intel
Transmeta
the White House
the FBI
the CIA
McDonalds
the NSA
Hallmark
Disney
Be, inc.
And the reason for being sued is just that there were some typing mistakes. And the BeDope team is supposedly on a spiritual retreat in Tibet.
And if you look under that article you can see that yesterday, a newly found comet was named Comet BeOS.
And if you look under that article you can see that on 26 March 1999, an article was put out titled "SimCities Out Of Control".
BeDope being down is definitely an April Fool's day joke.

Don't register your software. I don't register my software with the company which created it.
Boycott PIII and PIII-serial code using sites!
Also, boycott Windows 95/98/NT3/NT4/NT5 because it is required to activate the serial code.
