Actually, their website says the rocket "featuring a central Cesaroni Pro150 O impulse rocket motor." Also explains why they picked up such a name, Team "O":-)
Also DoomIII, etc. I'm just sick of hearing more rumors from DNF, it's been way too long. Leave it to rest already.
Kind of like the IETF's philosophy has been famously summarized as "We reject kings, presidents, and voting. We believe in rough consensus and running code."
And Linus to add, "I have the numbers for the current practice being BAD. You show me yours to back up YOUR claims. Until you do, you're just spouting opinions and
hot air."
I like both very much. I'd love to see it when it's done, but until then it's just hot air.
On the same topic but different technology, the Casio Satellite Navi (a/k/a PAT2GP, GPS wristwatch) is
on sale at $199. Mine is still working like a charm one year after, the only noticeable problems are the scratches if you're a tad careless, and the software provided that is really outdated.
Funny you should mention the use of the screen as flashlight, as I regularely use my 6310i large backlit screen to wander around my in-law's house at night on my way to the toilets. That doesn't quite have the same output as my trusted Photon Light but comes in always handy when unexpected:)
I find the Underdogs website to be a fine place to look for old computer games, a/k/a abandonware. As I am writing this they are listing 4439 games online. One of my all-time favorite must be Tera (1986), a relatively unknown and wildely unsuccessful RPG produced 17 years ago when PC's were original 8086's and had CGA monitors. I still play it occasionnally and even began a fansite dedicated to this fine(?) piece of sofwtare.
To get back on-topic I also consult Megagames regularly for all my patches needs and related add-on software.
Check this out, but this isn't Mac specific. I'd love to have a PowerMac here to put it in the daisy chain and get some more fun out of ieee1394.
Several weeks after the JE was written, I am generally pleased with the technology because it solved one of my problem (need for a p2p network connection between computers on different LANs). The biggest disappointment I have is for performance which is not great (only marginally faster that FastEthernet and certainly not line rate), and high CPU utilization (both computers are sluggish when moving large files accross).
The JE is over 2 weeks old so comments are disabled, but feel free to post below for any comments/remarks....
I'll second that. Not only you make good points, but I'll go further by saying that most speed limits were set some 30 years ago, when cars weren't nearly as safe as what they are now: think about airbags, crash-tests, engineering on the car body (basically made softer) to avoid killing the driver, etc.
If a black hat gets in, you're, uh, fucked. They'll get private keys and everything, see and do whatever they want (advertise bogus BGP4 routes, anyone ?).
This new "feature" adds nothing to the (same old) story that once computer systems get broken in, bad things happen ! You just have to assume that data going over the Internet is public domain, to a large degree... you knew that, right ?:)
Who cares if they don't work. Toss it and grab another.
The backpack of the average soldier is already heavy enough like that, they don't need to carry 10 disposable civilian GPS. They only need to carry one but it has to be rugged, CQFD.
Indeed you could login to the CallManager before being able to use it, presumably using Extension Mobility that allows you to logon to any IP-phone in the building and have your extension transported to the phone. In that case, you would just logon to a handset instead of a desk phone.
Your Starbucks hotspot will be no good unless they decide to hook it to a CallManager, because the call has to be processed somewhere.
I hope that the fools at my ISP won't blame me for running apt-get every other day or so... And how about full network installations over HTTP, if updates weren't enough ?!;)
This is nothing new. Back 20 years ago or so, my father (heh!) used to collect old newspapers at airports, then he would fold 3 or 4 newspapers together into a very thick enveloppe and send this without stamps to a person of his choice that he disliked at this time.
That worked well because where we lived, enveloppes without a return address and without stamps were delivered allright, and had to be paid in full by the receiving party for the cost of shipping plus a penalty fee for not stamping the mail in the first place.
I doubt that he's ever made someone loose great amounts of money, but that must have annoyed the hell out of those people receiving junk and having to pay for it !
IMHO, no drivers at all are better than using binary drivers. I would rather Linux loses if winning means becoming non-free. Better to die on your feet, and so on.
This is the sort of argument that will not help move forward, because you associate two products of different nature: Linux kernel and most apps (free) and binary driver (closed source). I don't mind using a binary driver provided and supported by a manufacturer for their product, rather than being totally unable to use their product because of the lack of an open-source driver.

As the site web says, "...featuring a central Cesaroni Pro150 O impulse rocket motor" is already clear.
Then, if you search Google for "Cesaroni Pro150 impulse" you will find loads of links such as this one detailing the engine specifications.

Maybe they meant to reach the millionth megabyte of mp3/warez/pr0n traded over the network that day :-)

10 years old draw mobile phones out there pockets, and I have seen more than one late-twenties draw a GBA while commuting to work in the train.
It's here.
Oh yeah, try to tell Californians about that ...:)
Yeah some ground would reappear, but I can swear that some ground downstream will disappear too !

Actually Google doesn't replace dead hardware in their datacenters. It just stays there... (couldn't believe it myself when I read that).

So long as they won't fire their probes in my property I'm fine with the idea. Altough it really does sound corny.
Let's not forget the scene in Predator where Arnie and friends deforest all around them ! Longest gatling shooting scene I can remember :)

PBX = CallManager in this case.

Can you tell us what's the hit rate at this time ? ;)
