Yep, but not on the same machines as I've got running XP.
(I'm going to destroy my karma here - I actually think Vista is actually not to bad an OS, having said that I use vista for gamming and photoshop work so not really tasked it as much as my linux installs - oh and the odd bit of browsing while watching TV)
Err...
Wrong. CV- is used to designate conventional carriers, CVN- is used to designate nuclear carriers. Kitty Hawk is CV-63... note the absence of the N.
I can imagine now Balmer, Linus and Larry Ellison are going to work on another way to get rid of Gates... would have so convenient to get him kidnapped in Nigeria and then pay the kidnappers NOT to return him...
Balmer gets Microsoft, Linux gets Balmer at MS;) and Larry becomes the richest computer tycoon rather than playing leap frog with Gates...
Echoed signals will not improve accuracy. An echoed or multipath signal will decrease it. GPS uses a precise time signal to calculate the transmission delay from satellite to receiver. Multipath signals have an additional delay factor, which while very slight can throw the accuracy off...
Right: $15,000 doesn't buy much in the way of soil removal... and when you've removed the soil what do they plan to do with for the longer term? Dump it somewhere else? ('ere govn'r fancy buying some top soil, guaranteed to make your plants grow greener than ever before?)
I'd really like to know roughly what the average of/. readers is... I suspect in 1997 it was probably around 20 but I'd guess now its around 30 as alot of us from the earlier days are still around...
Wow. A computer today got hacked... shock story follows. Not.
The fact that these computers are on the internet and not the DOD secure networks means they're not supposed to have anything sensitive on them... I would suspect probably nothing above restricted if that.
For day to day computing the DoD/MoD/etc are like other corporations... vulnerable and frequently probed/attacked - the real effort goes in securing the really sensitive stuff which won't have a point of access that any script kiddie can get to... dedicated fibre or other links.
I think the OP wants more than the text displayed as output to be spell checked, things like badly spelt function names - e.g. verifySigniture( * ) should be flagged...
It did actually make sense before my post.... it is just not infinitely precise in a pure sense of the word infinite. I was being somewhat hmmm... me - my (oh god, what's the word I'm looking for - kind of style) does not come across well sometimes in textual form.
Being thick (and out of coffee) how the hell can any thing be infinitely precise? Or atleast while it can be infinitely precise how do you go about checking it... might take a while to prove it for all possible numbers (of which there is an infinite amount of, and for each one you would have to check it to an infinite number of decimal places).
One of my pet peeves is statements like infinite precise:)
Nah, we're the moisture which gets in between the layers and causes the data to get corrupted.
When the final program runs (the output of which is a student's first attempt at Hello metaphysical creation) someone is going to be upset when the program just displays 42 before fading away into nothing.
Nah, it was the RIAA - they heard there was some pirate music packets on the fiber and got the police to raid the fiber - the packets refused to stop when ordered so they got shot.
For gods sake - its hard enough to get two people from the same country to communicate efficiently and without confusion these days, let alone communicate with an alien... I can just imagine the first encounter:
Man: We come in peace (which in alien = We present ourselves as the main course) Alien: Did you bring ketchup? (in english = we greet you)
Sonic the hedgehog is an article a lot of people have enough info about to be able to pull it back into shape. On the other hand SHH isn't.
Response time will depend on the depth of knowledge required to maintain an article, some are simple, some are still within the knowledge domain of the wider community who are interested in that field and some can only be edited by experts in their field. SHH being a good example of the latter.

Anyone remember on Tomorrow's World they showed CDs playing fine after being coated in jam etc.....
Nowadays a single thumb print or spec of dust seems to be enough to cause some CD players (and this seems to be regardless of make, price etc) throw a hissy fit...
(I'm in the mostly hate it until I need to let someone have access to our defect tracking system so they can generate custom reports... I give the odbc access to the MySQL server (via a select only account) and off they go - no hand-holding while I teach them how to run reports or use sql...)
Does Adobe's comments smack of the pot calling the kettle black - for serious graphics work Adobe are top (only?) dog, PDF for all its faults is a defacto standard - and love it or lothe it that means so is Acrobat....
Apart from that he can't be a die-hard geek- he actually has a girlfriend (and one which looks real not just some warped figmant of his darkest desires;) )

Bad example - looking at the specs while it might boot vista you'd better bring a mug of coffee and a sandwich along while you wait for it to boot ;)
(And can some one please tell me why as technology advances do we have to suffer ever increasing startup delays... )
Oh hell, you mean those purple flying unicorns buzzing around aren't real? Now what am I going to talk to?

Damn, and after all the time invading Afghanistan and searching Tora Borra for signs of Bin Laden he's headed off to Mars.

How long until the USAF are tasked with coming up with a way of bombing the crap out of those caves on the off-chance Osma is hiding out there
How about using a sea launch platform from international waters... might put a spanner in the works of that treaty :)

Crack those simple features before cramming any junk on to my handset please.
Older mobiles used to be alot more 'robust' both hardware and software than today's 'converged' devices...
Errrr.... no.
The program used stolen login credentials so linux and any other os would have thought the trojan was a valid user...
Nah, it was the RIAA - they heard there was some pirate music packets on the fiber and got the police to raid the fiber - the packets refused to stop when ordered so they got shot.
Actually I'd suspect you are in that you are aiding and abetting in a crime....
