Sorry, the summary and title is just plain incorrect. This announcement has nothing to do with the Higgs.
A few months ago, CDF claimed that they detected a new particle which could not be the higgs, but was speculated to be a new particle. As explained here, it wasn't possible for the new particle to be the Higgs.
Today DZERO announced that they did not see any signal where CDF claimed to see one. So one of the two projects has an error in their analysis.
Phoronix released a follow up article that looks a little closer. There is XVideo support
but no VA-API, XvBA, or VDPAU. But this article says that there are plans for XvBA and VA-API for the ati drivers, and work is progressing on VA-API support for gallium.
For OpenCL, the classic mesa drivers have no support and no support is planned. But gallium has some support for OpenCL (see mesa/clover), and just today the gallium support for HD 6000 series has been released. So now the HD 6000 has both classic mesa drivers and gallium drivers.
Here is a blog post with some thoughts about the control room design at the LHC. Here is a picture of the CMS detector control room for comparison. You might also take a look at pictures of the CERN control room for some ideas.
Perhaps you might be interested in the article in the Monad.Reader Issue 13 (warning: pdf) where the TeX language is used to solve the 2008 ICFP programming contest.
He writes a program to control a Mars rover in TeX, it is really impressive. You can even download the source code.
Actually FOSS might have done language-interoperation in other ways: given that the source code is available, we might have had automated tools to generate bindings automatically
Actually, you should check out SWIG. It has been around since 1995... open source has had automated tools to generate bindings for a long time now. The main problem with this approach is that C does not give enough information. The biggest problem is memory management. most scripting languages are garbage collected, but there is not enough information in C headers for SWIG to know where memory is allocated, and so on.
Essentially, using SWIG comes down to letting SWIG wrap everything just from the headers, except you need to tell SWIG about memory management.... which functions allocate memory that should be garbage collected, which functions take ownership of memory so the object should be removed from garbage collection, and so on....
Rather than using RAID, much better to use ssss. Description here. An easy script can read the key files from each usb key inserted and pass the keys to ssss. The output from ssss can then be redirected into luks or whatever encryption/login system you want.
I have used gnucash for over a year now, and as soon as I upgraded to 2.0 I set up automatic banking. It works great, I can download transactions and check balances for my credit cards (discover, citi bank, capital one), and my bank (charles schwab bank). I force gnucash to ask me for a password, but otherwise it is a button click.
The only issue is none of the banks really advertise the URL you need to use and type into gnucash. For example, discover card uses https://ofx.discovercard.com/, but good luck finding that on their site anywhere.
Everyone else is replying with criticism of paypal, but I will point out that http://www.schwabbank.com/ offers checking accounts that earn 1.05% interest, and bank of the internet http://www.bankofinternet.com/ offers a whopping 3.34% on checking accounts. Yes, checking accounts. The interest on checking is actually higher than on savings accounts.
I have a checking account at schwab bank, and it works great. They have excellent customer service. I was looking at bank of the internet, but decided on schwab bank. Both of these companies are members of the FDIC, so your money is guaranteed and insured by the government up to $100,000. Pretty much the exact opposite to Paypal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FDIC
After a system administrator installs TrueCrypt on the system, users without administrator privileges will be able to run TrueCrypt, mount/dismount any TrueCrypt volume, and create file-hosted TrueCrypt volumes on the system. However, users without administrator privileges cannot encrypt/format partitions, cannot create NTFS volumes, cannot install/uninstall TrueCrypt, cannot change passwords/keyfiles for TrueCrypt partitions/devices, cannot backup/restore headers of TrueCrypt partitions/devices, and they cannot run TrueCrypt in 'traveller' mode.
Exactly what you want... when running TrueCrypt in normal user mode, no one will be able to encrypt the hard drive or anything else.
I would strongly recommend reading some books. Two that come to mind are
1) A Random Walk Down Wall Street. Among other things, this provides an overview of places you can put money, starting from a bank account and moving all the way up to stocks, options, and futures.
2)The Intelligent Investor. This is the classic investing book that everyone should read. It focuses more on stocks and bonds, but still I wouldn't invest a single dollar without reading it (because everyone else has read it).
As to your specific situation, I would consider either a CD or some type of money fund from a brokerage. For example, Schwab has a money fund that currently yealds around 5%... Here and Here
If you are looking for online information, Investopedia is a good place to start.
Actually, there is a lot of discussion going on right now on the debian-devel and debian-legal mailing lists about if the new SUN License is compatible. See this thread on debian-legal to follow the discussion. People are calling for Sun's Java to be removed from non-free.
I would agree too, rewriting everything in Java just means wasted time programming, wasted time debugging, and wasted time testing. Now, for me at least, the best solution is to do all future development in some managed, garbage collected language and use your existing C++ code from inside that language.
While directly using JNI or the Python C API is possible, the SWIG Project reads C++ headers and generates the neccissary code to use that from Java, Python, or many other languages. It works on Windows and UNIX. While it isn't 100% magic, it is about 92% magic with just a little bit of extra directives and stuff you need to tell SWIG about. For a huge project, the automation SWIG provides really makes it possible to use a huge C++ library from inside Java or Python (or Ruby, etc).
Microsoft still pays out a $0.08 quarterly dividend. I am not a MSFT shareholder, but I found out in about 1 minute of searching. For those who would like to know, go to finance.yahoo.com and type in "MSFT", click on "SEC Filings", click on the full filing for the latest quarterly report, hit ctrl-f, type in dividend. You see that they declared a dividend on March 27, 2006 payable on June 8, 2006, and have been paying a regular dividend since July 20, 2004.
I have found that using APG is a great way to generate passwords. They are easy to remember since you can pronounce them. For example, I just ran the generation and these are the passwords that popped out. I have found that most users can remember these kinds of passwords.
Come to think of it, banks work that way, too; they lend out most of what they take in so they actually have relatively little cash on hand. If a run starts on the bank, then they run out of cash very quickly.
Except with banks, if they start to run out of money they can easily drive a truck over to the next bank, or to the federal reserve bank and get more money. From wikipedia, "To prevent a bank run, the Central Bank guarantees that it will make short-term, high-interest loans to banks, to ensure that, if they remain economically viable, they will always have enough liquidity to honour their deposits." Also, banks are required by law to be members of FDIC (Federal Depository Insurance Corperation), so if your bank goes bankrupt from a run on the bank, the government will pay you the balance up to $100,000.
Both of these policys make it so you never need to "use" (by withdrawing) the entire amout of money in your bank acount... you an write checks, wire transfer, etc. Thus, it is in the users best interest NOT to use the entire "capaicty" allocated to them (since large amouts of money require vaults, guards, etc...).
Compare this to bandwith, where there is no incentive for a user to not use the entire bandwith. Also, since you can't have the benifit of bandwith without actually using the bandwith (like a bank, where you can write a check), I don't see how the ISP could create an incentive for the user to not use the entire bandwith besides charging different rates and such.
The exact blurb in the article summary was posted on the yahoo finance message board for ONCY, see
here. The post asks for people to spread the word. When accused of attempting to pump the stock, he replies Well the last time I got published it added a few million to the market cap.here.
There are also some funny comments asking what kind of editor would post a review like that... well of course slashdot would!
"For the truth of the matter is that the Church and the scientific community will inevitably interact; their options do not include isolation. Christians will inevitably assimilate the prevailing ideas about the world, and today these are deeply shaped by science. The only question is whether they will do this critically or unreflectively, with depth and nuance or with a shallowness that debases the Gospel and leaves us ashamed before history. Scientists, like all human beings, will make decisions upon what ultimately gives meaning and value to their lives and to their work. This they will do well or poorly, with the reflective depth that theological wisdom can help them attain or with an unconsidered absolutizing of their results beyond their reasonable and proper limits."
The Church stands opposed to pretty much every "conviction" the "religious right" has, and here even insults them.
"To be more specific, both religion and science must preserve their autonomy and their distinctiveness. Religion is not founded on science nor is science an extension of religion. Each should possess its own principles, its pattern of procedures, its diversities of interpretation and its own conclusions. Christianity possesses the source of its justification within itself and does not expect science to constitute its primary apologetic. Science must bear witness to its own worth. While each can and should support the other as distinct dimensions of a common human culture, neither ought to assume that it forms a necessary premise for the other. The unprecedented opportunity we have today is for a common interactive relationship in which each discipline retains its integrity and yet is radically open to the discoveries and insights of the other."
Any christians out there should read that and other letters, and speek out about it!
I have heard about this type of technology before (not any real research tho). These are just thoughts on how this could work, not actual facts.
First off, the local radio stations are used to get really acurate positional information. (do a google search for Differential GPS). I heard they were trying to place the fertalizer directly in the furrows and not between them. For this you would need accuracy to 1/4". But at a max the error with Differential GPS would be around a meter. Hence the tractor knows where it is EXACTLY and any error will not be noticable. Since the tractor isn't relying on how many times the wheels go around to find its location, it wouldn't matter if the tires slip since it will always know where it is. Also, presumably the tractor would have a map of all the hills and terrain and would take that into account.
Second, I would assume that if the tractor was unable to get a GPS or local radio signal, it would just stop moving and wait until someone came to drive it or until a signal was restored. The tractor would only move if it could tell exactly where it was. It would need to have a map of the fields so it would never drive across tilled fields. In the event of an electrical storm or something, the tractor would stop and wait for a signal.
Finally, the tractor must have a manual override, so say a hardware failure happens. You the operator get a new tractor, drive the tractor into the field where the old one stoped, and basicly push go. The tractor then uses GPS to find its location and continues. You would probably want to ride on the new tractor for a few rounds anway to make sure eveything is working.
Ok. Here is what I see. In our community at large, there are two competing philosophies. One philosophy is led by Linus and represented by the Linux kernel, and that is the philosophy that freedom requires too much work and is not fun. The other pholosophy was founded by the GNU project and RMS and holds to the ideas of freedom. Since both philosophical camps have come together to make one system, RMS would like both philosophies to be represented in the name of the system, rather than just one.
RMS is arguing that the GNU project should be represented because a lot of code is used in the system. BUT the main argument he has deals with philosophy, not with what code is included. That is to say, give credit where credit is due, but as you say, stick to what is important and discuss what is important. The philosophical "battle" is what is important here, not really the name, and this is why RMS continues to make this an issue.
I use debian. It's great.. the automatic update (apt-get) is VERY usefull. There is of course a fine line when attempting to learn linux. For me at least, a distro that i would want to learn from should not abstract the underlying system of UNIX too far. The fine line to walk is how "raw" is the interface. Because at some point, the instalation and management of the computer becomes too difficult to learn all at once. I mean to say that I think RedHat (I have never used Mandrake) are a good first step, but the install is a little to "easy." That is not the right word, but i don't really know how to phrase that..... When installing and maintaining the computer, you should be learning how the thing actually works. For example, if you want to set up a anonymous ftp server that was accessable only on a LAN, I think the distribution should help create the bare bones config files, but it should also allow and even encourage you to take a peek inside the config files and make specific changes you need.
In any case, check out http://www.linux.org/dist/index.html They have good descriptions of all the distros
One solution to the problem of Top Level Domains controlled by large corporations is www.opennic.glue or www.opennic.unrated.net for those of you who can't resolve the.glue TLD. From the FAQ
"What is the OpenNIC?
The OpenNIC is a user owned and controlled Network Information Center offering a democratic, non-national, alternative to the traditional Top-Level Domain registries.
Users of the OpenNIC DNS servers, in addition to resolving host names in the Legacy U.S. Government DNS, can resolve host names in the OpenNIC operated namespaces as well as in the namespaces with which we have peering agreements (at this time those are AlterNIC and The Pacific Root).
Who makes up the OpenNIC?
Membership in the OpenNIC is open to every user of the Internet. All decisions are made either by a democratically elected administrator or through a direct ballot of the interested members and all decisions, regardless of how they are made, within OpenNIC are appealable to a vote of the general membership."
OpenNIC currently resolves.indy,.geek,.null,.oss, or.parody. I am not sure what (if any) protection exists against the IRC problem, but I think since it is a democratic system, a 14-year old kid (with bad intentions) is not going to be able to convince enough people to vote for him. They do have a strict policy on spamming, too.
Personally, I'm more inclined to the digital hub theory, because if all consumers wanted was web and email, WebTV would be a big hit by now. I guess time will tell.
