One of the current theories is that ageing has got something to do with the 'wear and tear' of certain parts within the DNA (repeating 'nonsense' groups). So your clone will have all this at the moment of birth
Women are born with all of their ova, but men produce sperm throughout their lifetime. Why would a sperm's DNA not have the same "wear and tear" of its owner? Wouldn't the child of a 40 year old man have 40 years of wear and tear on its DNA??
Don't forget that we have "Alan Cox on a Chip", so there is no need to worry about losing our operating system developers! And now that the FDA Approves Implantable Microchips, how long must we wait before we can all have Alan Cox chip implants?
Both Microsoft and Unisys have declined to comment on the cause of the outage. It is unknown whether there was a technical problem at the hosting site or whether the site was merely bombarded with requests from IT managers clamoring for copies of the free papers on the site.
Not to be a wet blanket, but that sentence is obviously the article author's tongue-in-cheek comment. If Microsoft and Unisys declined to comment, then how could they say anything about clamoring IT managers?
Ogg support in Winamp sounds pretty cool, a nice way to "slipstream" Ogg to mainstream users. However, would AOL Time Warner allow Nullsoft to do this? AOL has a vested interest to keep a free format like Ogg down!
"We're 100-per-cent confident in our technology," Mr. Kassam said. "To give an idea of how difficult this is to crack, many organizations consider 128-bit encryption, which has a [cryptography level] of two to the power of 128, to be very secure. With e2Sec, we're talking about encryption in excess of 5,000 bits, and as much as two to the power of 10,000."
If their e2Sec crypto is more difficult to crack than 128-bit encryption, why would their algorithm need a LARGER key?? That implies that it is weaker.
Of course, the quote is probably talking about some snake oil "128 bits of OUR crypto is equivalent to 5000 bits of THEIR crypto." yeah, right.
That is a good point. Instead of Wine trying to simultaneously emulate Win3.1, Win95, Win98, NT4, and 2000, maybe they should just target the semi-modern Win98 and maybe NT4.
Which Linux kernel are you using? Are you using the low-latency or preemptive-kernel patches discussed earlier this week on Slashdot? That article claimed = 2 ms latency when using both Linux patches. I think that is on par or better than what BeOS promises..
As I noted in another post, one problem with skip lists is that each node must be dynamically resizable because the number of forward pointers is changing and not known at compile-time.
Another problem with skip lists is that they are not very friendly to multiple readers and writers because the nodes provide unfortunate concurrency "chokepoints". In a binary tree, for example, subtrees can be locked without blocking readers in adjacent subtrees.
oh yeah, another problem with skip lists is that they are not very friendly to multiple readers and writers because the nodes provide unfortunate concurrency "chokepoints". In a binary tree, for example, subtrees can be locked without blocking readers in adjacent subtrees.

Appearently Mike had the same thought at the same moment I did... only he voice his "... hey, if you can write an operating system, what are you doing here ?"
I used to collect old-school transfer protocols, such as BiModem, Lynx, Puma, HSLink, Nmodem, Tmodem. I had about two dozen, but I can't remember the others..

Suppose, some day, we travel to the stars and run across a new, sentient species. Is it okay for us to kill them?
turn the question around. Is it ok for the sentient alien species to kill/eat/clone US??

given that, how soon do you suppose we'll see a rogue port of Microsoft's CLR to Linux?
Did you try rebooting Linux? I have Linux 7.2 and this usually works for me.

note that IBM is now doing deals with Suse: "IBM and SuSE Team To Offer a New Generation of Enterprise Ready Linux Services". I bet IBM is trying to scare Red Hat, so IBM can bargain a lower price when they eventually buy out Red Hat.
yes.
you forgot the last step:
time = money
knowledge = power
work = power * time
work = knowledge * money
money = work / knowledge
QED: as knowledge --> 0, money --> infinity
