It costs way too much, and the punishment does not fit the crime. House arrest with a tether, a fine (stiff, but not back breaking), and a stereo that plays "Air Supply" 24x7 for the length of his sentence. But prison time? That's fucked.
The point of having a rock-solid filesystem is to have a rock-solid filesystem. Any filesystem that crashes and loses data is bad. What is the point of a journal again? To enforce someone's idea of how an API should be coded to, or to reduce data loss?
And they work great. Tivo and PS3 on the TV, media server in the basement, webserver in the guest bedroom, and the bridge to the router in the office. You forget they're there because they are so reliable.
I've got an Inno and an MP3 Player. I use my Inno far more often. I like the fact that I hear new music and original programming on my radio. So far, the humans are doing a better job than the algorithms of picking the music I like. I also get the NFL, college football, goofy shows like Coast to Coast AM, and several comedy stations. Most, but not all, of this is available on the internet, but at a seriously reduced convenience. It is unsafe to change radio streaming websites while driving on your phone. It is easy and much safer to hit one of my radio station presets. While the internet may kill Sat Rad, I hope they can make it through their current mess to survive and thrive. Secondly, even if XM Sirius goes away, I suspect that someone would pick up the satellite network and try to make a go of it with subscribers like myself. They are down, but I wouldn't write them off yet, and they certainly are not dead. Proof? I'm listening to my radio right now and it still works.
This should be amusing. The book publishers may have stepped into a huge pile here. Picking on the visually impaired is never a good business or political strategy.
but at least Windows 7 has the decency to come with a "pre-release" label. KDE 4 was released and placed in production repositories when it should still be marked as development. Ok, I'm bitter.
I don't know, I really like our Bill of Rights. Yeah, Bush abused it, as can happen, but things are getting back into shape now (albeit slowly). Nothing else quite like it exists in the rest of the world. IMHO, the protections on personal privacy against government intrusion aren't as strong in other countries. For example, if we are so paranoid, than why does the UK have far more security cameras per capita? That said, I've really enjoyed traveling the world and experiencing other cultures firsthand. That is the best way of reducing paranoia and building trust, I think.
So a hybrid species that may be able to reproduce and get out of control should be OK if it is done with private funds? I don't think so. If you want to take heroin, or ride your bike without a helmet, or drink yourself to death, be my guest. If you want to create a new species that could effect extant species and ecosystems in unpredictable ways, than no thank you. I'm not saying that we shouldn't perform genetic engineering, just that willy-nilly experimentation with no controls is a bad idea. Cross-species pollination has already occurred: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgenic_maize#Cross_pollination
It has a lot of potential, but I am amazed at how KDE used to go from strength to strength, then churned out this half-baked release. If it doesn't get better by the next Kubuntu release, I'm switching myself.
Though this isn't entirely their fault, the 8.10 release of Kubuntu has KDE 4, which thus far is a complete clusterf*ck. It is a "Vista" experience in Linux. They have to avoid these in the future
Our deficit hits a Trillion dollars, India gets a windfall from all the software they could write, and China gets to ship us a hundred million compromised Cisco routers. What could possibly go wrong?!?!?!?!
I graduated with a degree in CIS in '91. Not as pure technical as CS, but I got a lot of business knowledge, and I knew that is where I was headed anyway. Having the less technical degree hasn't hindered me at all, I now own my own company doing web 2.0 consulting. Our class was almost evenly divided, it was about 45% female. It seems that CS has always been more heavily dominated by males. I'm just wondering if there are more women in the CIS/MIS degree programs at this point in time.
You have your answer: Because it is freaking hard to do, not a guaranteed hit by a long shot, and you may lose all your money. Good luck to Tesla, I applaud their innovation and wish them the best, but it is brutal out there right now in the auto industry. Is is unfortunate that their first shot had to be an exotic sports car, but there is no way to build an all-electric family truckster with today's tech. They can build a sports car, so they did, in a conscious decision to try to figure out how to develop the tech into a family truckster vehicle, but the rough economy may have sealed their fate. If they fail, I hope that another innovator can buy their IP and carry on their work.

Linus was a student with no corporate sponsorship when he started on the kernel. Hobbyists and uber-coders are driven to do it, and they will.

about two satellite services colliding, spreading bankruptcy all over the heavens

Something not clumsy or random, like a blaster.

I would much rather have a talented H1-B person working on Windows than a mediocre U.S. Citizen.

We have to find Hollerith's grave and shove a stake through his heart.

I vote no.
$0.10 for everyone you kill in a game. Sheesh, I better not even suggest it...
Well, he already voted for FISA, so I guess he won't. Damn.

Glad to see that Toyota has their eye on what is really important.
Blu-Ray has been broken since inception, everyone gets DVDs instead.

will go a lot to keep your programmers honest.
