Judging by the videos on Rasterman's site, E17 is neither functional nor beautiful. All I saw was some konfabulator/dashboard style gadgets with some hideous window decorations, a cool moving background that would be an absolute nightmare to have going while one works and some other useless eyecandy.
The technology behind all that might be interesting but it'll need someone who doesn't know the words 'gee whiz' to make an efficient, usable environment out of it.
... but when the mac geeks are taken aback at my windowing environment, it's something else entirely.
Ever hear of eugenics? You could just as well be talking about eugenics in the early 1900's with that paragraph. As for global warming, I will not debate that the globe is getting warmer. What I will debate is how much humans are having an effect on it.
Yes, I have heard of eugenics. It was bad science. Eugenics has feck-all to do with global warming unless you think the science being published is bad science. If so, then refute the science.
Last time I checked Green Peace (among many others) were politcal groups. And a lot of scientists believe that more study is needed on global warming as well. Not to disprove that it is happening, but to find what all the causes of it is.
GreenPeace? Way to derail the debate. I consider myself an environmentalist and even I think GreenPeace is loony. The vast amount of scholarly literature on global warming is not coming from GreenPeace. Look at the scientists who think global warming isn't happening or isn't a concern. The vast majority have industry ties. You'll be hard-pressed to find a respectable academic who denies global warming. There's a couple but they're vastly outnumbered.
If, say, Howard Dean or Dennis Kucinich were president, UCS would not have even conducted this "survey" in the first place, without regard to whether or not the problem actually exists.
Bullshit. Neither you nor I nor anyone else can say what they would be doing. That's wild, meaningless speculation.
Does anything I've said speak to the actual problem? No, and I realize that. But I'm not sure UCS really directly cares about that specific issue either; they're more concerned with vilifying people they perceive as their opponents[1] because it has a greater chance of allowing them to advance their general agenda, which I'm sure they all believe is a good and righteous one.
What the...? What is this ulterior evil agenda you attribute to them? Where is the evidence for it?
[1] Whether they explicitly state it or not, it's clear from their web site and other materials that they really don't like Bush. And don't be so quick to just say "Well, maybe it's because Bush is a problem." That's not the point: you could uncover "problems" like this in any administration, but their zeal isn't consistently applied. That's what I'm getting at.
Maybe, just maybe the Bush administration has more "problems" than any other administration.
I don't understand this Bush persecution theory that's going around. Everytime his administration's policies are critizized the apologists defend Bush but never address the problem. If you have evidence that this survey is radically or significantly distorting the truth then bring it.
Hearing this line should set off alarm bells. Scientific truth does not heed consensus. It doesn't matter what percentage of scientists agree or disagree about something.
Huh? So the minority opinion is right? Let's see, a lot of smart people with a lot of good data believe that global warming is happening, that human activity is accelerating the process and that there are things we can do to slow it down. Very few scientists with bad data and ties to politically motivated organizations say otherwise.
It is not just a majority opinion. It's real science with data to back it up put forward by professionals in relevant fields. It's hard to get a lot of scientists to agree on one issue. A lot of scientist's agree that global warming is real.
has feck-all to do with global-warming. It's just been co-opted and distorted by industry shills. 49 of the 72 Nobel prize winners who signed it also signed the UCS's "World Scientists' Warning to Humanity."
... she stated that the most important thing for any working person was to first make yourself financially independent. Then you can make the decisions you really believe in, without fear of being sacked.
What she really meant was that you should make yourself financially independent so that incompetent CEOs don't have to feel bad laying you off. Or, it was just a subtle hint that you wil be laid off sometime if your life and that you should take responsibility for that.
Not likely. I doubt it has the resolution and even if it does, Beagle may even be too small (i.e. smaller than the wavelength of the radar) to be detectable. Though, I have no idea how big Beagle is.
Real was "evil" while they were the Internet media bully of the block. Now there's a big jock (MS) and an artist (Apple) quickly making them irrelevant so they're cozying up to the nerd, hoping he can make them seem smart and relevant again.
I'm not buying it. But, I hang mostly with the artist these days and Real has targeted the artist because they think they can take him. Real's not stupid enough to take the jock straight on, though.
Let's see, a right-wing, anti- government regulation think-tank says a monopoly is a good thing and you wonder, "Does Microsoft Cause Lower Software Prices?"
That's like asking, "Do liberals want nothing more than to burn the flag and have gay sex?" based on a Heritage Foundation report.
I'm sorry, those are all examples of living tissue. They are all repaired constantly throught your life. Aging effects occur because the body can no longer replenish cells as fast as they die.
That techcentral link is less a factually based response to Supersize Me and more a fat-asses knee-jerk to someone criticizing their favorite food. I was expecting the 'Fact Sheet' to point out factually misleading bits of the movie, instead it's just ad hominem attacks on Spurlock and some totally unrelated information or information that would actually support the movies premise. The movie made a point of the fact that he wasn't excercising because Americans don't excercise!
I'm guessing that the PB upgrades that ThinkSecret predicted are coming but they didn't announce them during the keynote because they would have been anti-climactic. The PB line is overdue for a major overhaul but they're waiting for G5 PBs. An announcement during the keynote of PB speed bumps would have underlined the fact the the G5 PBs aren't here yet.
Yeah, you can use a free VNC too but a KVM will be nicer for when you want to see that pretty GUI without the lag. And if you keep the iMac Mini right next to your other workstation, why bother with remote display? It would be useful for seeing both desktops at once.
The court found that mandatory disclosure of the data under the state's freedom of information statues is exempted under a recently passed state law that allows information to be kept secret 'when there are reasonable grounds to believe that their disclosure may result in a safety risk.'
Which link supports this statement? This link states:
The court further found that the department had failed to prove its claim that the records were exempt either under General Statutes 1-210 (b) (5) (A), which provides an exemption for "trade secrets," or under 1-210 (b) (2), which provides an exemption for "records of standards, procedures, processes, software and codes . . . the disclosure of which would compromise the security or integrity of an information technology system." The court, accordingly, dismissed the department's appeal. In this appeal to the Supreme Court, the department challenges the court's findings and additionally argues that the court improperly failed to consider Public Act 2002, No. 02-133, 1, which became effective shortly before the commission's decision. That public act amended 1-210 (b) (19), which provides an exemption for "records when there are reasonable grounds to believe that their disclosure may result in a safety risk," to include records of municipal agencies.
To me, that reads that the city lost and are appealing to the Supreme Court. Has the CT Supreme Court ruled on this? Am I missing something?
OK, now imagine an OS with all of that plus a good desktop.
It'a as easy as that. When you get it you'll start using it, doing the things you normally do with a computer. It'll be pretty, it'll be nice. Then you'll get one of those 'itches.' Can't I write shell script to do this more efficiently? I wonder what running a Tomcat server is like? I don't want to switch out of Terminal to control iTunes...

More precisely, the return is reflected radar pulses and these can be used to make images.
Not likely. I doubt it has the resolution and even if it does, Beagle may even be too small (i.e. smaller than the wavelength of the radar) to be detectable. Though, I have no idea how big Beagle is.
The rough rule for depth is the wavelength times ten. MARSIS should be able to see down a couple kilometers.

Natalie Portman's character gets knocked-up. Anakin is turned to the dark side. The Jedis are almost all killed off. The Empire takes over.

No screen, less space than a mini. Lame.
