SUN has been making good progress on the SPARC ZFS boot front as well. It's not as easy as it was under the x86 process as they have to modify the openboot firmware to handle the key pieces for allowing zfs boot.
I believe it's due (at least tentatively) for integration into Nevada build 82 or 83 at this time.
And just think, it's been working for years under Solaris (okay, working internally for a little over 2 years, and available externally for over a year).... =)
Why wait? OpenSolaris (x86, x64, SPARC) or download a free license of the real deal Solaris (X86, x64, SPARC)....
www.opensolaris.org or www.sun.com
either way - zfs rocks, and they keep adding more features frequently....
I didn't get to watch the whole thing, but the Mythbusters did a round on that and it seems that the flames you see from the Hindenburg wouldn't have looked / burned as they did if not for the skin. Hydrogen burns with just a pale, barely visible orange flame and goes very quickly. Watching it burn, you can see those huge flames following the exoskeleton along the lines of the skin over it.
I'm the same way. However, new government regulations and restrictions will continously pummel those of us who are that way, constantly watching over our shoulders because we are interested in multiple disciplines and areas.
That was yesterday. Today's RIAA is all about making money - period. They don't care how they make it, who they make it off of, or who they have to screw over to make it. They screw over their bands, their customers, the government and think they can get away with it. So far, they have gotten away with it, although it's the little people (consumers) that are finally standing up to them in the court rooms. Now the band needs to take them on and go for the max penalty for each and every download and song of their's that they offered. Now, where are those sales figures?
ROFL - confirmation image was "thieve" how appropriate.
I wasn't wrong. My niece's school is making them declare / choose - pick your verb. Whether you choose to believe me or not, I could care less. You have to respect someone in order for their opinion to matter. Obviously, yours doesn't matter.
I did not lie, and the only shit around here is yours, so here's the virtual shovel, start scooping it up. -----[)
I already showed additional verification richard-head. Pull your face out of your ass long enough and you might see the truth of the matter. Whether they make you choose in the 7th grade or the 8th grade makes little difference. It's still too early.
At this point, I'm done feeding your troll-self. Regardless of your response, I am through discussing this matter with you. You aren't worth it.
My apoligies for being off by a fucking year. It's still too fucking early to force them to declare a major. My niece's school is forcing them to choose. She's in the 7th grade - so still Jr. High.
And during that period, where was education restricted to?
The peasants sure as hell weren't being educated by their government. Their government wanted them fat, dumb and illiterate. That way they didn't know any better about what their government (aka King/Queen/Baron/Duke - whatever) was doing.
Once the diseases started, the folks who had knowledge, since it was so restricted, also started to die out - thus beginning a dark age where yes people died, but also knowledge was lost, some of which has never been recovered.
I'm still digging for the slashdot article that had the information about college students being added to the watch lists for studying fields outside of the scope of their major.
Don't forget, that now even Jr. High School students in the US are being asked to declare their Majors so that they can be narrowly channeled into their chosen field of study.
Sorry, you wanted to be a mechanic, no home economics for you. Or, oh... too bad you selected accountant, now you can't get that particle physics minor you so badly wanted.
Today's government wants all knowledge compartmentalized so that no one, and I mean no one, outside of the government can get the clear picture of what's going on.
Want to get into a hobby? It had better be along the lines of what you went to college for, otherwise they'll start to watch you on suspicion of being a terrorist. Showing an interest in an activity outside of your major, oooh - watchout, you've made the FBI's watch list again.
Jack of all trades are a dying breed. Specialization guarantees that the government is the only entity that really knows what's going on, just the way they want it to be.
Just think, if the government had started down this path 20 years ago, most of us would be specialists who grunt when someone talks about something that we didn't go to school for. Or worse yet, we'd call the cops if someone tried to teach us something outside of our specialty.
This is how periods of history like the dark ages start. By restricting knowledge so that the masses are not allowed to be fully educated, you guarantee that knowledge will begin to stagnate (only when certain types of knowledge intermingle with others are truly radical discoveries usually possible), and eventually disappear, sometimes forever.
Yes, but we're talking legalsleeze here. They want it to sound like or imply unlimited without giving unlimited goodness. While you and I would agree that limited is the proper term, they want something that while it will sound like unlimited, would imply not unlimited without using limited.
This would be just like chocolatey implies chocolate-like, yet some folks take it as being chocolate, which is what the suits are aiming for.
Come on, is Dr. Evil the NYAG? That's not going to deter Verizon one bit. The term unlimited means no limits. There's no way to change the definition no matter what *legalsleeze* you throw at it.
If it's not unlimited, you can't use the term.
Just like most chocolate flavored cereals, if not made using real chocolate, have to say "chocolatey"..
Maybe they need to have the term "unlimitedey" or "unlimitedlike" or "pseudounlimited" instead.

We all agree that piracy is a crime, but this isn't piracy.
Piracy is taking something, making tons of copies, and selling them... black marketing, etc...
People taking songs and sharing them, while violating copyright, isn't piracy.
These are the same types of people, who in the 70s and 80s recorded their music off the radio onto cassette and dubbed them.
If I recall correctly, Sony had one of the better portable dubbing boom-boxes, that led to mass audio cassette copying...
ROFL....
I don't run a LOT of 64 bit applications, mostly because there aren't that many...
But I do have 64 bit versions of my system tools - such as anti-virus, diskkeeper, etc...
As more come out, I'm sure that most will run fine unless they are written to need vista crap.
At which point, I'll switch to OpenSolaris...
I'm running 64 bit applications today on my xp installation... Windows XP x64 Pro...
Hmmm - now where's your stooopid answer?
Vista will never run on any system of mine....
Possibly, but their devices (at the time of the patent) hooked up to the receiver at the analog output stage, to the be re-converted back to digital.
They did not cover integration to record within the digital stream.
Tivo's patent is for analog to digital conversion / time warping.
Dish's patent is for digital to digital (different digital formats) conversion / time warping.
Guess which broadcast standard is going away.... =)
Parachuting?
Bungee jumping?
Shouldn't it read, Trial set to determine how much SCO stole from Novell?
If the image of the vehicle was 100% stock, then maybe, but once it's been modified, it's no longer *ford's* model, it's a custom.
Once it's customized, the owner owns the rights to the image of said customized vehicle.

Actually, that wasn't necessarily the problem.
One theory is that the paint used on the outside of the airship was made up of chemicals commonly used in rockey fuel today.

Or require that they have actually created said *device* and can show it working within x amount of time after patent application.

Whoa there cowboy. Have you ever heard of false arrest? Or seen where someone who was arrested then later all charges dropped?
Being arrested is NOT the same thing as being convicted.
Think before you write.
Yes, but we're talking legalsleeze here. They want it to sound like or imply unlimited without giving unlimited goodness. While you and I would agree that limited is the proper term, they want something that while it will sound like unlimited, would imply not unlimited without using limited.
