Hasn't there been a recent article about programs making you get rid of other programs such as Ad-Aware before being able to use them by hiding a clause in the EULA? That didn't really get through to me, but this time it will.
Okay, is it just me or is the difference b/w these pretty much nonexistent? I assume there are other open-source licenses, but they'd all do the same thing anyway.
That should be modded up, but oh well. And I just went through a year of physics wherein as soon as we got a measurement in any English unit, we were to immediately change it to SI. Sort of a habit now.
It just seems to me that if you have that much steel packed that closely together it'd be hard to bend. Bu then again, I've never done any research on this.
The bridge will be five kilometres long and its central span - supported by four steel cables each nearly a metre-and-a-half in diameter - will measure over three kilometres.
A meter (I'm American--that's how we spell it) and a half wide?!?!? How do they make steel cables like that, or, for that matter, get them to bend at all?
Netscape is owned by the same company that owns AIM & ICQ, so it's to be expected that they would support it. Jabberzilla will work with even more IM clients than Netscape 7.
We need to find an ISP willing to distribute Mozilla instead of IE. Then more will follow, and people won't want to bother downloading a second browser if they already have one--and if they do download IE, I'd think they'd find Mozilla to be better.
That's what they thought at my school too. We technically weren't supposed to, but at least we were kind enough to uninstall everything at the end of the year, so they wouldn't have to. We even got a teacher to let us install Starcraft on the network-wide drive:).
The "Tech Crew" at my HS (a bunch of friends of mine) all played a PS2 on the school's projecter (a 20' screen beats 35" anyday), but unfortunately that was during the time I was running a trivia contest b/w all the classrooms in the school (one of the stupid things done during the week before prom).
At first, Goldcorp's geologists were appalled at the idea of exposing their super-secret data to the world. "This is a very conservative, very private industry," says Dr. James M. Franklin, former chief geoscientist for the Geological Survey of Canada and a judge in the Goldcorp Challenge. "Confidentiality and secrecy about reserves and exploration have been its watchwords. This was a totally unconventional thing to do."
Yea, I've realized that, but then you realize that Google caches most of the web and nearly all of the links produced in search results. So if you get a 404 error you go back and click on the cache link.
It is great to see open source software such as google
Google's not open source. They support the open source community, but they don't release the code the their indexer. This is all the information that they give out about their code:
PageRank Explained
PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important."
Important, high-quality sites receive a higher PageRank, which Google remembers each time it conducts a search. Of course, important pages mean nothing to you if they don't match your query. So, Google combines PageRank with sophisticated text-matching techniques to find pages that are both important and relevant to your search. Google goes far beyond the number of times a term appears on a page and examines all aspects of the page's content (and the content of the pages linking to it) to determine if it's a good match for your query.

Then you keep asking yourself "What can brown do for you?"
What's a separate-boxes do-it-yourself UPS rig good for, besides making you look all technical and competent?...You can use a bank of truck batteries to power your PC for a week without mains, if you like.
I fail to see a practical use for this, but that's gotta be one of the coolest things I've ever heard of.
Ahh, I just assumed that they did--I know that the US's system of Common Law was taken from the Brits, and since nearly all civil trials in the US have juries, I figured that nearly all civil trials in the Commonwealth did too.
And, I admit, it would be pretty hard to find an email address if all you know is a name.

That's good if all you care about is music. If you also want news, an MP3 player won't help much.
Or get newer radar--my dad uses a radar detector and it didn't register a cop over a hill on the highway. He got pulled over.
Most of Lenny Kravitz's songs are about six words long.

Read http://slashdot.org/~CmdrTaco/journal/8188. It should answer your question.
Is that why Windows XP has so many bugs and Linux has so few?
It was at 2 when I replied.
