Where is that other 99% that must be there if the big bang model of the universe is correct. So how do scientist get around this hole in the theory? They propose that the matter is there but is undetectable in every way to us and only responds to gravity. I now believe the entire big bang model to be incorrect. The reasoning for dark matter is so circular, I mean 99% of the matter is unaccounted for? If dark matter only responded to gravity then wouldn't it fall in on itself (not my original idea at all)? In the end the big bang does not tell us much about origins at all. It is a simple theory that is becoming increasingly complex as scientists try to make it fit with the observed data. I do not believe it will hold water for more than 10 years max. In the end, the big bang really tells us nothing about what that big ball of mass was doing there, it doesnt explain gravity, time, inertia or anything else that the major theories take for granted. I urge at least someone on here to take a look at this paper by an astronomer named John Dobson and critique(sp) it. Someone tell me why this is a bad theory because it made total sense to me. Let me say that the interview did take sort of a religious turn at the end but the first section blew me away. The second section was good, very intriguing, and it was not the sort christianity religion talk but the philisophical origins type of discussion. Anyway, will someone who is semi-qualified please tell me what is wrong with the theory, because I have really become a total convert since it was first pointed by an upper level physics student which I am not. There has just been too much evidence (on slashdot especially) and the probability numbers themselves for the big bang to work. As far as dark matter goes, I think we will be laughing at the notion of it in 20 years or less. The reasoning for it is just sooo circular. It's there because the big bang says it's there, we just can't measure it. If you want to entertain some alternate theory, I urge you to read the article.
This is only the default setup. Just because by default windows is setup unsecure, it doesnt mean it is an unsecure os. The same applies to openbsd, if the admin knows what they are doing, then they will be able to choose the level of security needed. If they really don't know what to do, then thats their own fault. All of your fixes could be done in about 2 minutes by someone who has a clue as to what is going on.
The only noticable changes I've seen are more and more netscape advertising, heh. No, I dont need a shopping icon. Its almost as bad as the i-openers pizza key;)
Theres is only so much wireless "bandwidth" out there. How long until all frequencies are saturated and we have to inovate some more. If the future is as wireless as some are predicting and I'm hoping for, is this a concern/problem?
BT is not meant to be used as an ethernet connection. It is meant to be a cheap connector without wires. Wireless ethernet cards are not cheap at all. It is not like these companies have dropped BT, they have done no such thing at all. They never planned to put ethernet cards in cell phones or use BT to replace ethernet networks. I think you are missing the point of BT; it is a cheap simple plug and play wireless connector. They can't be compared. As far as support goes, will you just look at the companies backing this. BT is going to be huge and not just because its just another wireless networking solution, that is not what it is at all.
I naturally didn't traverse the redhat directory until now and found that there are no unstable redhat packages on gnome's ftp site either, just empty directories. Does someone maintain any binaries anywhere. Thanks
Note: I did try out alien, I have used it before but didn't know how well dependencies translated, needless to say Im impressed.
Does anyone know anywhere unstable gnome debs can be found. I just want to give unstable a lookover and not have to deal with the source cleanup. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Everyone knows this, heh, devices are rolling out this spring. Expect to find it embedded in phones and laptops bu this fall. The wireless headphones are coming soon after...
WN: One of the views of these declining numbers could be that girls and women are just not interested in math and the sciences. How do you respond to that?
Borg: I think that's a fairly spurious argument because the whole question of why we are not interested in [math and the sciences] is a really significant one. We're clearly doing something wrong.
But then she goes on to say that the agressive boys pushed the girls off the computer during childhood, and that is why they are not interested. So the boys are more agressive and the girls just accept it. Since they are different, couldn't they also have a difference of interests. I'm not coming down on women or anything, but I do believe there are some differences that are more than the way we are raised. I believe we should give everyone all the opportunity they can have, but I don't believe we need to push anyone in to a certain area.
I know its from ms and all but I've spent hours looking at terraserver. For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, ms has a massive collection of sattelite imagry in a database that you can browse like a map. Very cool, now see if area 51 is blocked out...
Those people never had time to look at the article. No one posting on topic could have had the article read yet. Those posts die down and we never see them if you up your threshold. Dispite a few petrified problems, S/N is good. Don't just find something to complain about.
Consider another wireless technology in which each access device has a unique identifier and autonegotiates its connection with the base station: cell phones. They can now be tracked
You are forgetting one point. Only the cell phone company can track you. Your cell phone only talks to your network. With bluetooth, it will negotiate with any other device. Anyone that wants to can track these devices. I think it presents a large problem but maybe I am just too cautious.
Excuse me? Bluetooth's raw data rate is one, that's (1), Mbps. 1/100th the rate of fast Ethernet, and when you strip off the packet headers it's even less. This is comparable to DSL the way that a rowboat is comparable to the Queen Elizabeth II.
I am not a blueooth expert and did not know the exact bandwidth, only that I have heard that it is comparable. If bluetooth is 1mbps and adsl goes up to 1.5mbps, I dont believe that is that big of a gap. Of course its the raw data rate, that is what all bandwidth is measured in. Perhaps you are confusing bits and bytes.
Of course each will have an ID: its MAC address, just like every network adapter on the planet. What's so scary about the autonegotiation? USB and 1394 handle it fine.
I was thinking along the lines if these devices show up everywhere and each is unique then you can be tracked. Give it some more thought, I think you will know exactly what I mean. And they thought cookies were bad. I hope that made some things clearer.
Anyone who knows anything about this technology knows what Im talking about. First of all, the price. The prices are around $30 for the chipset but it is expected to drop to about $5-$10 once mass production ramps up. This means they will show up everywhere.
So whats so great about bluetooth? Well it was orginally designed to replace irda but it will now be doing so much more. Bluetooth devices have about a 30ft range. When ever one device comes in contact with another, they set up somewhat of a mini network. Eight devices in all can make up one of these networks. One is the master telling the others what frequencies to skip to ect (Bluetooth operates at 2.4ghz and utalizes spread spectrum much like digital phones). These networks can then communicate with other networks of devices. This is all done on the fly and may be reconfigured constantly when new devices move in and out of the area.
So what can be done with this. Well, first the obvious, like networking printers ect but it has so much more potential. From what I hear, the bandwidth is comaprable to dsl which is plenty for most applications and other bluetooth devices dont hog the bandwidth. Well, for one you could could dial up a connection using your phone in your pocket without even touching it. Now imagine bluetooth everywhere and commercial services. Imagine negotiating for an internet connection in an airport without ahving to talk to anyone. Imagine pulic printers, and a slew of other things.
We are only beginning to realize what wireless technology can do. The potential is gigantic. There are some things to worry about like will each device have an id; autonegotiation is scary. 2.4ghz is also the resonate frequency of a water molecule, think leaky microwave. Still, I believe this is going to be amazing, 1) because its so cheap and 2) because its so easy. Truely plug and play networking. Expect to see bluetooth devices this spring and integration into laptops and phones by next fall. For more information, check out Bluetooths home page. Lots and lots of big name backers. This is no vaporware.
If they were not at college they would be working a job. How the fsck can the college not allow the opposite sex in their rooms and censor the internet as they see fit. Is this some kind of joke?
So I guess hurd will not make it in with potato. It really is sad as the project has a lot of promise but very very few developers. If you feel like looking around, check out my system. telnet titan.mplex.cx - it only has 16M of ram and the hurd loves ram so it may not like it if a lot of people check it out. Still, it should drop you to a user shell that you can move around in and explore...
Maybe they just want to track people and really don't care about speeding. I mean if you can't put an implant in someone, at least you know they can't get far without their car. I don't think this has anything to do with speeding at all, only being able to track citizens by sat. The speeding part and slowing you down is just a cover, and a very good one at that.
There's your answer. Actually, I hate him but thought he was at least tolerable in this movie. He also fit the part in Point Break (I think thats it) pretty damn well. Other than that I can't stand him. Accent in Devil's Advocate anyone?
I don't think there is ppc smp support yet, but I am far from an expert. The last I heard was that i386 was the only stable smp arch and alpha was in development. I have heard nothing about ppc smp support yet, does anyone else know?

I'm sorry but he is so right, the linux community is so close-minded sometimes.

I bet it does, so will all computers be like this?
Do people just love to mark down sig_11 posts? Was this pointless moderation or what. I wonder if any points will get wasted on my post.

Both books' images are reproduced in B&W and suffer for it. It's particular hard to see (and count) the holes in black beams, for example.
Um, well, I don't know if color is going to help out a black beam...
