How could it have taken 606 takes as well as being shot in two halves? Did both halves take 606 takes or did they need 303 each? In any case why does it matter whether or not CGI was used? Who is going to know? After all the Honda execs did not appreciate this fact when it was shown to them.
However, we wouldn't see real trains for a while now since the cost is prohibitively expensive at this time. However, they expect that the cost would come down over the next 20 years.
Not strictly true, according to the builders of the Pudong-Shanghai link, the costs can already be lower than conventional high speed trains, and the maintenance costs are alot lower. See here and here
Actually this is a feature in ACPI S3 specification that is already supported by the beast server 2003 and should be supported in the upcoming 2.6 kernel.
Microsoft is hosting a page called "Resources for Competing with Linux"
with the news section pointing to all the best FUD stories. Does this add to the evidence that this whole thing is being encouraged by MS? Also on the same page under Microsoft's response to recent press there is a halloween style point by point rebuttal of a pro linux article, but I can't open it because it's protected by passport for some reason.
Thanks alot - I'll try that. I am sure I accepted most of the defaults, and I doubt many would be using parallel port ide devices! I'll just change m for n in these lines in.config

One thing I have never understood is why it takes so long to find files in FAT/NTFS systems even with their evil indexing services which grinds away at the disks and gobbles CPU cycles at random intervals while slocate is instantaneous and the update is almost as fast (slocate -u). I haven't tried slocate on windows partitions, but I expect it would do a similar job here. Perhaps someone could port this over to save us from needing longhorn?
That cry of disgust caused Microsoft to yank HFNetchk, because they hadn't licensed it and didn't have a formal agreement for its promotion.

The U.S. is a lot more spread out than Korea, though -- some American cities are pretty well connected. Is that why only 99% of US has electricity, water, phones etc.? If this was a rush to the first phone network I could understand this statement, but with BB its only a question of changing equipment at both ends. OK I accept there are limits to the availability of BB to distantly connected phones, but if you see the space images of the US at night it looks like you are quite well concentrated already.
We have only 120 units which have already been wired by the local cable company with cable grade coax/BNC/10Base2 which should enable both TV/Radio/Phone/1mps broadband but because we have CCTV on a channel that conflicts with broadband we are forced to stick with the providers analog with does not permit broadband.
I have been trying to find out how to replace this with some cisco type gear to enable both broadband and about 30 TV channels fed from a satellite over the same cable network without rewiring with 10BaseT. I can't find any company that knows how to do this but there must be a few who can since what I want is quite similar to what (some) hotels provide.
Sorry to dis' everyone's favorite publisher, but I fail to see how they can claim this is their 25th anniversary since their timeline admits their first publication was in 1986 which is only 17 years back. The twenty five figure marks Tim's introduction to unix, which is not quite the same thing as O'Reilly is it?
I agree with your analysis, and also the comments
by AC about the presenters. I also stopped watching for the same reasons. What
concerns me is that the slant towards bio-science is symptomatic of the way the
BBC treats news about technology in general.
I doubt there is a particular agenda for this,
probably just a reflection of the lack of nerdiness amoung their editors. One
example of this is the way they keep re-running the story about the clone babies
even though there is not yet any evidence to prove this, the subject interests
them so the story runs.
On the rare occasions they do attempt to cover
nerdy stuff they are often hopelessly out of date or off the mark. Such a
pity.

Actually there is an article in the Economist [never understood why the site name is placeed in brackets after the URL since browswers can display this information more reliably on mouse over] about the feasibility of pilotless planes.
Thanks for this thread: it explains why the negative review I posted for Europe by Train by Katie Wood never appeared. I was really annoyed by this book as it contained a surplus of repetitive, condescending advice and invited readers who had the ability to write concisely to submit their work to the author but only on dead trees. I was tempted to write directly but knowing I'd be ignored I thought writing a negative review would be the perfect revenge for having to lug this drivel around Europe by Train, but I did not realise that Amazon delete unfavorable reviews.
In the end I think this is Amazons loss since the whole idea of their review system depended on the trust of genuine reviewers. I hope the press picks up on this story so amazon visitors and reviewers realise the reviews are a waste of time and space.
Well it looks like it works for almost everyone else so I suggest you try again with a new profile as this looks like it's a problem associated with the settings on your machine.
You don't need to report it here before bugzilla, but you should search bugzilla before you file a bug to check there is not already a similar report filed.

Sorry, you need to click ahead one or two slides from the presentation to see the maintenance and per seat costs compared with ICE.
