Except that 2003 SBServer doesn't support licensed Terminal Services anymore. Yet another thing they removed on the transition from SBS 2000 to SBS 2003
When I first read the headline, I was thinking of intelligent roller-coasters that somehow managed to keep your beer mugs from spilling while you rode along.... "Now that's technology for you", I thought to myself.
I'm thinking that perhaps the Space Shuttle program was purposefully designed to leave a gaping hole in the market, and that private businesses were expected to fill that gap these last 20 years. Businesses have been slow to pick up on this opportunity, so the Air Force decided to give them a little push with this contract. Either way, this can only be a wonderful thing for space access when there are a slew of companies to choose from for your low cost earth to orbit launches. Perhaps by 2015 we can just sub-out the whole moonbase thing, and skip that monstrosity NASA has been working on...
Honestly, there's a lot of people out there to which $700-$1000 is not worth stressing over. The screen is big, the tag says HDTV, so WTF. Stick it in the den, and watch the occasional TV show. Sure not worth scouring the web for days/weeks to make sure the chump change wasn't spent on the wrong doo-dad. That time is worth money, and to many folks that time is worth more than the cost of the TV.
Althought I followed the blog link, I failed to find a record of the actual test like I was expecting.
If someone else finds it, I would appeciate a more detailed (direct) link.
We had an article about these AI programs, (ALice and about 30 others) last year that were competing with each other. I looked at a few, and they didn't seem anywhere ready-for-prime-time yet. Still the same 'turn the question around on the asker' type of engines. What was the difference here? The type of questions, the 4-people/1comptuer setup?
But at 1:23 p.m., Fox News Channel anchor Shepard
Smith reported that {Moore's Law} had died. At least
initially, he did not cite sources.
By 1:30 p.m., Fox reporter Greg Palkot in Rome was
sending signals of caution, saying the report had not
been confirmed and the network was checking into it.
"The exact time of death, I think, is not something that
matters so much at this moment for we will be reliving
{Moore's Law} for many days and weeks and even years
and decades and centuries to come," Smith said.
Exactly... I wrote an e-mail to them in the mars pathfinder days asking why they didn't put up some ad-space on their web pages to help pay for the next mission. (It was a very popular site for a few weeks/months.) I received a terse reply that that sort of thing was against their charter, and that they would never run ads. Seemed like a complete waste of the public's attention to me.
I'm pretty happy to see them do it. If the popularity of space programs can go to support future space programs, isn't that the sort of thing we want to happen?
23 000 mph = 10,281.92 m / s KE = 1/2 (M * (V * V)) KE = 0.5 * 370 * 10281.92 * 10281.92 = 19557807593.984 Joules (Can this be right? seems like a lot)
The little item was 0.1 gram and 16000 m/s, so that was more like.00005*16000*16000=12800 Joules...
The article says he's a "recent graduate of North Carolina State University who is currently looking for a job". I can't imagine this kind of publicity is a good kind to have when you are out interviewing.
Sure, most guys looking over the resumes aren't going to recognize the name, but there's got to be a company or two out there that actualy does the background checks.
Anyways I can't imagine is prospects are all that hot right now...
Yes. Quicktime does one basic job, and it does it pretty well. Realmedia bogs down every computer I've ever seen it installed on, and is trying to be the 'everything media' application once it's in your system. (Plus maybe a download helper, and a few other non-media things, too) It's bloatware, and I'm glad to see people deciding it's just not worth it to hamstring their PC in order to see some of the very few clips that come realplayer-only.
And WTF is up with the stupid/lazy comment? If the software were doing what it is supposed to, you'd just click the play button. Is it your viewpoint that if people don't work through buggy bloated software for their videoclips, they are just dumb slackers who don't deserve the video goodness?
I tend to think that card games came to the PC primarily because they are easier with a mouse than trying to work with a real deck of cards.
There's an awful lot of places you can play against the computer, and if you are fast enough moving the cards around with the headmouse you could compete against other players on the internet. (I'd mention the MSN Gaming Zone except that this is Slashdot, and I'd be lynched)
Not sure if you are in their coverage area, but I set up my grandmother on Qwest DSL, and when asked if I wanted MSN or AOL as the ISP ($40/mo or somesuch), I replied neither, then they finally relented and admitted they could be a no-frills ISP for the line and the whole thing would be $20/month. That was $20 for DSL and ISP services.
Between that, and a hotmail account it beats her paying $25/month to AOL for dial-up.
So you are saying we need to be protected from his ideas? Us whacko's will give it a try and kill ourselves because we aren't quite smart enough to recognize the dangerous bits like you have?
Let me guess. You're from the government. And you're here to help.
I'm just wondering would it have been cheaper to test this before the mission was launched? The story says it was impossible to test deployment on the ground. I'm thinking that impossible means 'rather expensive'. Eight months of international studies sounds rather expensive, too.
Perhaps we need more R&D in the field of "give them all the money they need to do it right while somehow keeping the money out of corrupt bureaucrat's pockets". That would be a worthwhile study with far ranging implications...
It's shaped like a case of Coke... Not the ideal for stacking with the rest of my equipment.
How about the D-Link Media Player instead? It's about an inch and a half tall, and plays all my media to the TV (wirelessly) and without a hard drive either.
Yes. The D-Link MediaLounge is pretty much exactly that. It's got wireless, and can pick up files from watever machines in your network are running the server software. It's doing pretty much everything I ask of it except playing my divx files. (mp3, jpg, avi, mpeg, etc no problem but not divx). Luckily my divx have most all been encoded to mpeg long ago....
Slashdot Mirror
That's pretty dang scary.
Did these two guys have ANYTHING to do with solving the proof?

He goes into quite a bit of detail about the test they ran on these bugs. Pretty interesting stuff.

To be a martyr, wouldn't just sacrificing a small portion of your life, and a large portion of your life savings be qualification enough?
Speaking as a person who bought one of those 'ATRAC only-ReRip all of your CD' devices from Sony, Id have to say you're right on the money...

Wonderful way to put it. This one will have to go in my scrap book.
