I'd rather have choices. I just started messing with Debian and I like the fact that I can pick a very light window manager. Well some people really want it to be pretty, I just want light, fast, and stable.
You know what gets me is when the FTC put basic restrictions on them when they merged that clearly states this corporation is so big and has so much control it must be regulated.
Problem with that is they are merged forever. What happens when new technologies come along that they can totally leverage to there advantage. FTC won't be able to do squat other than antitrust suits which take forever.
Merger should never have been allowed. The FTC's restrictions are an insult to the publics intelligence.
Have the most technically skilled individual who is most like who you want to have working for you and have them tell you how to hire someone good.
Also don't worry about a degree worry about the individual.
Throw everything you think you know about hiring people out the window because it will not work for CS/hacker types at all.
Remember always your best CS/hacker types do a lot of hacking and may not dress perfectly or have the best communication skills but they may be able to program everything you need better than anyone.
I feel DARE has its purpose to inform on smoking tabacco, the use of cocaine, the use of heroin, and maybe info on alcahol. The rest is a bunch of bullshit government propaganda that is not based in fact and should not be spewed to children.
Or if the amount of gravity slows it down going up the pole you could put a bunch of these on a giant ferris wheel type structure. Turn them on as they get to the correct point on the wheel then turn them off when they are going against the grain.
This would be like a sawmill with a water wheel catching water of a stream for power. This might work even better.
Since the moon doesn't have a magnetosphere couldn't you put types of these machines on the moon as power plants.
You have one of these machines on an extremely long slanted pole. Slanted meaning slighty up from the moons surface. When you turn it on the solar wind pushes on it. You have a tether to a generator. The tether pulls on it creating power. Once at the end of the pole the machine turns off. The small amount of gravity on the moon pulls it back. Once it is back in its starting position it turns back on and the process starts over.
What would the legal ramifications be if you created an armed robot guard and someone hacked your system taking control of it and killing a bunch of people.
I don't care if you hate AOL or not this is great news.
All the AOLamerz will start to think Linux is a more viable option and that is a lot of lamerz.
While you might not think changing the lamerz minds is a good thing if you think about it, it is. Remember these are the people who actually pay for software and in turn could potentially help fund all these Linux distributions for us.
Give them a bunch of flat text files with numbers and such organized in a consistent manner. Have them use Perl or whatever language they wish to process statistics out of them. Then show the most creative solutions in class along with some of the good solutions. The key is to let them be creative with it and not limit them to the way they have to do it. In real world production environments you have to really be creative sometimes and this kind of thing is usually pretty fun especially if they get nuts with the regular expressions.
Don't they know that it isn't the multiple dimemensions that make gravity weak. It is the presence of the other dimensions that are causing gravity to begin with.
An excellent feature to add to Mozilla would be the ability to have any website you go to bounced off a database of sites that do this. Then you can get prompted if you want to enter them or not. Or even better would be a way to pre-detect a site that was going to do this.
I think these sites are about the most annoying thing there is on the web. If something like this was in place I wouldn't have to deal with them anymore.
The government and M$ will both put their spins on this.
The Government will say they need to tax e-commerce to pay for monitoring the Internet now
M$ will say Linux and Solaris are the problem everyone should switch to M$.
The reason these people may have used Linux, Solaris or some other high powered OS is more likely because these usually run the fast servers. I mean if you are going to crack a University to use there high powered computers to launch a DoS attack do you think their big servers are running NT.... YAH RIGHT! They are probably running some flavor of *NIX or maybe VMS.
Any of the MMORPG's ported would be great. Although I know none of them would Open Source anything.
I think a company that created a MMORPG for Linux that was Open would do quite well with it. People playing UO, Everquest, and AC get a little tired of rebooting all the time if they Opened those up we could work those bugs out of them.
UO did have a port for Linux but I got tired of hacking the install script to try and make it work and that is all the farther I got.
Bravo/. that is the kind of stuff I wanted to read about the chip.
While a lot of people are concentrating on how well this will work in small devices the author of this article is excited about the large-scale applications of the chip. I would have to agree. Think about a busy web server that is continuously generating web pages and doing database transactions. The code morphing software can spot that trend and be ready for it.
Theoretically I would agree with this if teachers were as good as theoretically they should be. Face it teachers are human and can be bad at their jobs. I would rate about 10% of my teachers as good at what they do. That is why I choose to learn from books when appropriate. I can start reading a book and if I don't like the way the author is explaining something I can get a different book on the subject. Students will learn much better with having the choice of learning the subjects they wish from the computer or the teacher. Albeit computers need to get much better at presenting the information but they will.
He had the greatest geek job that there ever could be. All the funding he needed. No one looking over his shoulder because it was all in secret. I still remember the first time I saw a Bond movie as a little kid and when Q showed bond some contraption like a watch that shot poison darts that he made I just smiled and said "How cool is that guys job".:-) Godspeed Q

That's why I want it to be light, I very rarely have any need to use a GUI but for some things it is nice.

If the /. crowd can generate this many really good tough questions for the candidates why can't journalists even come up with one?

Sort of like a windmill, moon style
I do wish they would let the various Nuclear Powers compete in a mushroom cloud competition in the Olympics.
Those things are just too cool.
What would the legal ramifications be if you created an armed robot guard and someone hacked your system taking control of it and killing a bunch of people.
Will probably happen someday.

You can just as easily do that type of coding on the other OS's. Especially Windoze. Ever heard of Active X?
Having to trust your programmers is just a fact of life.
Besides That 70's Show and South Park, I think that Malcom in the Middle is usually good for a few laughs.
Eventually I think TV will just turn into one big 24/7 infomercial and then die. If you haven't noticed it is pretty close to that already.
Couldn't they have accomplished what they wanted and still gave us a CLI.
I mean I prefer using the CL for text searching and a number of other things.
/. just gave Gore about 700,000 to 1.3 million additional votes in the next election.
Irresponsible, no way. The mainstream media is duping the public into actually considering Bush.
Bush == Bankrupt America like his Dad did by blowing too much money on the military.
Gore == Will do nothing and leave the Economy to do its thing. (not revolutionary but has worked so far)

They can't do much with $2000 but it would make a good statememt of support from the geek community.
