I've been thinking about this NIMBY issue. Perhaps a solution it to provide people the proper incentive. People who are closer to the generation source should get cheaper priced electricity subsidized by those farther away.
"The name comes from a punishment from the Roman army. One of the pinishments available to a commadning officer was that the men shoudl line up, every tenth man would be told to step forward. The rest of the unit were then ordered to beat these unfortunates to death."
This is also used in digital signal processing for decimation where one out of ten data values in the data stream are severly beaten out of existance.
First, can software publishers PLEASE start naming things in a moderately descriptive way? Names like Acrobat, Flash, Quicktime, Excel. Huh? Great programs all, but do you have any idea what they do by their names? Does Acrobat have anything to do with the circus? Does Flash have anything to do with a camera?
"Excuse my ignorance, yet I do not know much about malaria. Why is it such a problem in the third world? I know it has something to do with mosquitoes... yet it is not a problem in the western world."
I saw a show the other day about mosquitoes in Florida. Florida spends 2-3 billion dollars from my recollection to combat mosquitoes. I doubt most 3rd worlds countries can afford this much.
cryptographic (public key?) authentication of email servers. Then we would be sure of the source of any email and could block any email from unknown email servers or known spam sources.
I can't reach that link right now but from my recollection, isn't this program very much like the Microsoft "Active Desktop" feature from years back which pretty much bombed among the users?
The Enron executives. The Worldcom executives Those pump and dump wallstreet brokers from the 90s....
These guys do far more damage than this kid ever did to our economy yet they will get far less severe punishment. What this kid did was wrong but I don't these others should be let off any easier.
How come theories such as parallel universes, multiple dimesions, strings, etc in Physics are considered acceptable yet when someone suggests the possibility of extraterrestrials visiting the earth they are considered lunatics? We are willing to handwave aways so many instances of groups of people observing UFOs as weather balloons, swamp gas, ball lightnings or mass hallucinations.

Almost all new motherboard now have no ISA slots. Some motherboard have eliminated serial/parallel ports in favor of USB ports. It is possible to boot with something other than a floppy (is USB drive.) So things are slowly changing. BTW you can't emulate hardware like an ISA slot of floppy drive.

What speed would he have to go in a 30 mph zone in order for the tires to leave the road?

I'm glad that somebody has the backbone to go forward with IPv6!
Intel has a very interesting reading on their website about the history of the 8086 processor and how it was developed.

"Lucas is known as a FreeBSD contributor and the author of Absolute BSD."
First Star Wars and now a FreeBSB contributor! I just don't know how he manages to have the time to do it all.

Everquest was not the "first mover." There were other MMOGs before it like Ultima Online. So it is still possible for a new game to be successful.

I read that as "Gamecube software supports WANKING."
Looks like the web server has surrendered already.
"A CPU with a 1nS clock cycle time and a few MB of on chip cache?"
Just to remind you, 1ns == 1GHz. What is the clock speed on the latest Pentium/Athlon?
I click on that link and all I see are enormous b00bies thrust towards me!
Note that a serial port doesn't use 0V to 5V logic levels. Instead it is 15V to -15V. You would need to use a level shifter such as a MAX3232.

"Why is this Slackware specific. These instructions would work on most distros (with one or two small changes of where the boot kernel is kept)."
That's because most other distributions already have a precompiled version of the SMP kernel.

"Security should always win, but it never does."
If that were really true then why don't you shut down you computer? It would certainly make it much more secure at the expense of ease of use?!
Your right hand must be very tired from all this activity?!
They forgot to include BSD...
Oh wait... that was Top Ten Dying Game Genres!
