You forgot to put an href in for Befunge-93. This is a language which needs exploring if it can do all these unique things. Given the complexity it has to run on a PDP-11?;-)
Perhaps these multiple utilities combined into one with options to alter the behavior, like the way that busybox behaves, might be easier to use. Users will forget the names of these multiple tools.
A lot of tech users would generate these utilities as required with a couple of lines of awk. Appealing to these folks will be difficult. Each of these can seemingly be repilcated without too much trouble.
As was written previously above, correct man pages (nroff -man) (see the man macros) will be essential.
Ask for help developing, and for ideas as to what might be included in the tools. You are the controller but you have to provide what other people want
Does not have to be too big. IFF the solar effect in a radiometer (Solar anemometer) is useful then we should be able to mock up a small model, say a few feet long, if that!
This should be easy to test using a simple experiment. Make a larger vacuum bulb with a simple vehicle inside, sitting on a flat surface with a solar sail. Have to keep friction down.
But wait, 802.11x is free. Cellular costs momey! No, hold on, I am paying $45 a month for my cable ISP. Plus the cost of the WiFi stuff (much cheeper these days). Plus I already have a cellular account with AT&T.
Darn this is expensive. Maybe, if we can just transmit the info we need rather than adverts we can use the thin bandwidth available over cellular.
Would it be possible to spin off your Internet named company "Barnes & Noble".com to a subsidiary which is based somewhere which does not have sales tax?
The company can move around as needed to avoid tax as long as possible. Only the name sounds similar.
Since you did not mention FFT but only FT and since MDCT is just a modified Cosine Transform which is a Fourier Cosine Transform you are both right! A win all round;-) We all know what we are talking about.
Unfortunately the guy might be right. What 'innovation' has come out of the OSS camp? Let's see.
Linux, nope an old OS (UNIX clone). GUI, nope catchup of MS technologies (originally copies of X etc. Not OSS at the time)Now using things like CORBA, arguably OSS as it is Open. Apache Modules, there's one!
Can anyone continue this list? I would love to know what innovations have come from OSS.
Do you see this new legislation altering our ability to work remotely? Will these restrictions place undue hardship on US workers when compared with facilities in other countries? Is it likely that other countries will evolve faster technologically as a result of these draconian measures?
1. The computer graphics looked like awesome computer graphics, not like a ship in space as we have grown accustomed to seeing them. It detracted from the show.
2. The trailer sucked. I did not want to see the movie after that.
OK. We have had proprietory DMS for a long time which behave exactly like this. Alter the dialog and index the document. This completely bi-passes the actual HFS indexing in-so-far-as if you place a document in the HFS by hand (from the shell) it is not indexed into the DMS. We have seen this before when DOS became windows (8.3 -> LFN). Now I must confess to not having read the web page but this sounds like a stop gap until the true VFS can be written to work this way.
Interesting that this covers the licensing of MP3 and the royalties to be paid for selling hardware or software containing the MP3 codec.
All MP3 players (pretty much?) can be connected to a computer of some sort to download music onto them in some way. There are exceptions to this in the form of players which can play mp3 files directly from CD etc.
Why not, next to your retail version of the product, give away a floppy disk containing the plugin to play the MP3 files.
Plug you player into the computer, insert the floppy and it gets copied to the player. No licencing costs.
The plugin (codec) does not therefore need to be GPL and can be given away instead of being sold!

It just popped into my head. It has to be...

Please. Let's just remove this comment.

Question?
What energy does a photon have to lose? What energies does it have? Velocity, but what else? Which energies is it losing in this conext?
Does not have to be too big. IFF the solar effect in a radiometer (Solar anemometer) is useful then we should be able to mock up a small model, say a few feet long, if that!
This should be easy to test using a simple experiment. Make a larger vacuum bulb with a simple vehicle inside, sitting on a flat surface with a solar sail. Have to keep friction down.
Anyone got the facilities?
I guess before people ask, there is also a solar style (rather than terrestrial wind) which spins in a vacuum from the reflection of photons.
Has Thomas Gold seen an anemometer?

I'm in.
No, I want my power delivered by 802.11x / / /

Why not publish the book in soft copy format. Encrypt it an an easily crackable format and then it will be illegal for Microsoft to read it !!!!
That way people can read it illegally if you let them!
Sticky, Tacky, toe in the door.

Good one

Might be physical size. Might be cost. Might be the power required to keep all those little transistors juiced up ;-)
Why not place a tax on tools too. That way people who have their cars stolen can be compensated by the tool manufacturers ;-)
Seems fair to me!!!
And... How about a tax on newspapers just in case they get used in a pick pocket crime.
The list goes on.
Never heard of such a thing in the UK.

Humm. Must be all the tea which was spilled by 'accident'.
