Role-playing games were around long before the fantasy type versions. They were initially developed at the RAND corporation and used as simulations for nuclear war.
You're talking about different things: for example, I have just put together a NAS device using SATA disks that offers out volumes as iSCSI targets over GigE.
SATA is a drive interface spec. NAS is a generic description of a type of storage device. iSCSI is a communication protocol, as is GigE.
It's being used as storage for an Oracle database server used by around a hundred simultaneous users.
By buying commodity parts from Fry's I managed to get 3T usable for under $2000.
There are specialist book stores, and second hand bookstores who have books that haven't been in print for 50 years. You won't find those on Amazon.
This is increasingly untrue: more and more booksellers are now putting their inventory on Amazon Marketplace. They are realising that by doing this they have a MUCH greater chance of selling uncommon and obscure stock, since there will be many, many more eyes looking at their stock.
The booksellers that are most resistant to Amazon are antiquarian booksellers, for the reason that condition is often paramount in determining the price. However, even these are listing, since given a reputation and proper description, combined with a sensible refund policy, buyers WILL buy online.
Benefit is that it is much more difficult for your device to be accessed maliciously. I can see a definite advantage in a system where you know that you must have such proximity to be able to effect data transfer. This is a good thing, since it requires intent before access can happen. Got a new device, and want to transfer your address book to it? No problem: just put the devices side by side and sync. Don't want anyone to be able to access your address book (yes, I'm talking to you, Paris)? Don't put your device alongside another device.
Unsafe assumption. Just because one division in MS might be looking at getting Windows on the XO does not mean that another division is not trying to help Intel deep-six the XO. And further, don't assume that if this is the case, either or both of the two divisions is ignorant of the other.
Flanders: "My neighbor Homer released a radioactive ape in my house" Bart: "It wasn't Dad's fault. The ape tricked him" A fluorescent ape (actually more of a baboon) later slaps Ned around in the car.
J. Frank Parnell: Ra-di-a-tion. Yes, indeed. You hear the most outrageous lies about it. Half-baked goggle-box do-gooders telling everybody it's bad for you. Pernicious nonsense. Everybody could stand a hundred chest X-rays a year. They ought to have them, too.
It *IS* watermarked, but only to tag it as having been downloaded from Amazon. There is no personally identifiable information encoded in the file. Do an MD5 on separately downloaded versions of the same track, and they are identical.
The software will be called ALTLinux. It is the typical lack of the use of articles in Russian which seems to be confusing the submitter. If written by an English author, the article would have started "A Russian OS...".
"Towards the end of our research period we came across some fossil teeth that MAY be identified as coming from the after the split between gorilla and human ancestors.
Not only that, they MAY be earlier than the previously proposed date for the gorilla an human split."
===========
The fossil teeth demonstrate that the last common ancestor of the gorilla and human was "out of Africa" (although this has been disputed), it is not a point of real controversy.
This whole article reeks of conditionals, and restatements of non-controversial theories (e.g. " There is broad agreement that chimpanzees were the last of the great apes to split from the evolutionary line leading to man, after gorillas and, even earlier, orangutans"), and there is nothing but speculation and weasel wording in the entire article.
This is just grant-milking, and possibly -- though I hope not -- nationalism and nonsense of the worst kind. NOTHING reported in the linked article is substantive in any sense, and is not worthy of comment or rebuttal unless and until some real theorems are posited.
I used to be a sysop at Imperial College Computer Centre in London, and the mainframes I worked with, a Cyber 176, and a CDC7600 had this on the console back in 1978. It was also available on the 6600, which was a 60s era machine.
Yes it does: no less than five pages (342-346) are devoted to legal issues surrounding obtaining the necessary ROMs, which is what I believe you are referring to.

Oh, and I had fun building it.

This is a GOOD idea.
Indeed: if this comes off, then at a stroke, the Swedish government will have eliminated piracy! Now THAT'S impressive...

You appear to be heading directly for a vulnerable cyclist. What would you like to do?
1. Run the bastard of the road?
2. Sideswipe him into a bush?
3. Scare the crap out of him?
Ooh! Ogg and chips!

Dave Winer, huh? Sounds as appropriately named as that Sodomsky guy a few days back...
With a name like that, he's crying out to be investigated...

What dickhead modded this insightful? It's funny, really funny. But insightful? Says all you need to know about the moderation system...

Ha! If that's not an iPod Nano, I don't know what it is.
Why not a Zune?
