an intelligent sounding quote from George W. Bush, but so far I haven't found a single one. I refuse to give up hope though, since sooner or later he'll run out of dumb things to say.
I think something you and maybe AOL has forgotten is that the value (utility) of a network increases geometrically with the number of nodes or users. Although the open source users may be adding to the load on AOL's servers and not supporting them directly through advertising, the added value of the AIM network to legitimite users is increasing their usage and exposure to AIM's advertisements. Assuming that open source users are only a small fraction of total users, and that they do not only communicate with other open source users, then AOL would benifit more from allowing them access to the OSCAR protocol. AOL supports internet email for these same reasons, despite the added cost of running email gateways. Why don't they realize that this applies to AIM as well?
I don't think I'd actually use this if it came to LA any time soon, unless the train was a mag-lift bullet train. I would love to commute at 200 mph in near silence. Not to mension the rush of accellerating on one of those babies. I'd probably spill my coffee though =[
Just because the website is in.dk doesn't mean we're not getting it. All three of their scenarios are for US cities, LA, Seattle, and one other I can't remember right now.
If you read carefully, you'd actually get what you want. It says the average speed on a road is 50 mph, but the speed on the rail is 100 mph. If it averages to 50 mph its because it slows down to 30 at intersections.
This crossed my mind as well. A good reason to favor SMT over SMP is that an SMP system wastes a lot of clock cycles on memory access. Just because a second CPU is still crunching while the first waits for data doesn't make the problem go away, in fact, it provides an opportunity for both CPUs to be wasting clock cycles. SMT improves processor utilization rather than decreasing it as do SMP systems. My only question is where I can buy a quad-CPU SMT system;)
As far as I can tell, the code handed over to the commercial Netscape developers is going to be called the "Mozilla 0.9" branch, and very little Mozilla development resources will be applied to it from then on.
The reason it continues is twofold, first, because Netscape 6.01 will probably be based on the Netscape 6.00 code instead of newer Mozilla code, and second, because things like MathML are maintained by the Mozilla team but need to work with Netscape 6.00.
With realtime Myth we'll finally be able to escape the beaten path and make our way to the brothel book hidden behind the observatory. Anybody who's seen The Thirteenth Floor knows that Atrius is probably just another pervert who uses his abilities to create his personal deviant universe. He only locked up his kids 'cause they were going to rat him out to his wife.

I sure don't understand why Sony would fume over this. They lose money for every system they sell, and make it up in licensisng fees from game manufacturers. Since I'm assuming it'd be more difficult to crack (or mod) the Dreamcast bleem, users would have to have actually buy the Playstation games. Sony may sell less Playstations, but this can only help their profits.
I remember visiting FutureHome (House?) near Baltimore. It was one of those assitive technology showcases, with everything from remote-controlled elevation of dining room table for guests with wheelchairs, to a housewide remote and voice control of lighting and doors. What I really got a kick out of was that with all the money spent, they were using a Commadore for the TV remote-control interface because it was the only thing they could find that could overlay its video over the TV picture.
Did anybody else notice the 18 wheeler with the FOX logo screened on the top? This leads me to believe one of two things. First, this is actually just the set of the new X-Files movie. Or second, the US govenment has employed FOX to do their coverup footage. In fact, if you look closely, you can almost see a disected alient being wheeled on a strecher from the FOX trailer into that big building labled "TOP SECRET, NO CAMERA CREWS"
Sony and Nintendo are able to offer their consoles at reasonable prices by selling them at a loss, and making up for it in licensing fees from game vendors. Yes, some maniacal multi-billionaire (you listening Billy?) could buy millions of the systems, then destroy them or play only unlicensed games, and this would really hurt Sonr or Nintendo. Of course, the bulk of the people aren't doing this, so neither company has to worry and thus there are no restrictions similar to those imposed by Netpliance. Can you imagine buying your Playstation and signing an agreement saying you will continue to use it and purchase games monthly for the next two years? Of course on the other hand we have companies such as BMG that do just that. Sure, you get 10 CDs for 1 cent, but then you have to buy 7 more during the next year at retail price. At least in that case you know what you're getting into.
Very funny, albiet even more unintellible than most of Hitchhikers Guide. I sure wish people would read this before they moderated it down, it's probably the best comment out there for this (rather unexciting) article.
Looking at the stats page, so far 88.8% of the CSC 56 bit challenge has been completed, and the correct key has not been found. With only five days left before the keyspace is exausted, I'm beginning to worry that somehow we may have missed it. If we get to the end and still haven't found it, what will we do? I'd hate to have to explain to those 15 thousand active participents that their processor time was wasted. What could have gone wrong? Forged blocks, an error in the algorithm, anything else?
You missed the punch-line, it's a DVD-ROM

Maybe you didn't read after the zooming image, but the thing is not a CD-ROM, but a DVD-ROM capable of reading DVD-RAM disks. I remember when the theory was that DVD-RAM would hold 5.6 gigs or something, but that equated to 6 1/2 days of music. I'm not sure what the stard capacity now is, but it's humerously large all the same. That's pretty spiffy if you ask me, now I just need to find the $500 for the player and the $700 for the DVD-RAM drive.

I think it's only appropriate that Sun should start selling T-shirts with the binary driver printed on it.

The power figures there are in Watts, directly from Intels PIII Spec PDF, so I don't understand what the p3=10 thing means.
MHz Power
500 15.8
550 17.4
600 19.6
650 21.2
700 22.9 -- That means Crusoe is over 23 times cooler and has 23 times longer battery life!
750 24.5
