I admit that I'm not into gaming, but from all I read about the 360, I think water cooling the Power supply by submerging it in a bathtub would be the best long term solution. Don't get in the tub with it though!
So they make mice not able to metabolize food (ie. starve) and make thier cells too stupid to die on cue (ie cancer) and this is a good thing? We know that starving people live a long time (see URL:http://www.webmd.com/content/article/110/10981 8.htm ) but are they LIVING? or existing? I'll take living any day.
I routinely ignore rare browsers, non-english speakers etc. How different is it to ignore rare browser-human combinations. The market is too small and too specialized. I'm in business, what is the return on investment?
Get a light weight thin mattress and use it on top of the huge table, and dump the bed. You can use those side tables as a step up, or as a coffee table for entertaining. The rolled mattress can make a (very) low sofa like __O.
Never one to procrastinate:-) I sent in my nomination at 9:30 Aug 4 (EDT) and recieved a reply.
"We are not currently seeking nominations for the Free Software Awards. Please watch http://www.gnu.org/award/ for the call for nominations, which is usually in the fall."
I understand that the NTSC (Preferred Format) uses a 648 by 486 resolution format. (interleaved, but the human video processor fuses the two images (sorta)).
Doesn't any one think that 320*240 is way to coarse to watch videos on? And 12 inches at 3 feet? My screen here is 17 inches at about 2 ft. It doesn't seem "Large" to me.
Way back, myself and an electronics engineer did this for a variety of _electronic_ typewriters, including IBM selectrics, olympia daisy wheel, etc. Each was different, all had gotcha's. We put a microcontroller (8751) between the keyboard connector, and the electronic board that drove the machine. That gave us control over what to print, and we could see what was typed. The machines being fairly mechanical meant that timing everything was complex, and exception ridden. Good luck!
I liked building "radios" first a simple AM reciever, then an AM transmitter, that turned into a "CB". Then I played with Led transmitter/receiver projects with some optical fun to make directional sorta "spy" radios. None had a range of over 20 ft. so I think the FCC was OK with them?
I liked my magnet set (magic action at a distance!), made electric motor, rail gun etc. I also liked the model steam engine I got with various attachments, weeks of smelly fun. Watch that the boiler doesn't run dry though, the solder they use melts too easily.
That drum had a head per track, and the biggest problem was starting and stopping, as the heads tended to mar the drum surface eventually destroying it. We had one that spun in helium to dissapate the heat, and keep the air friction down. We also had a head per track disk (2 surfaces). As the disk heated up it expanded, so the heads were mounted on some wierd mechanism to allow them to track the data. Man the 70's were fun. Average access time was about 6 ms. Booting was instant anyway though, we had magnetic memory (core).
Linux provides many options like filesystem type that don't really matter, but are in your face. The options I want are more like WISIWIG vs text editors, not 47 text editors to choose from. Given an option, users feel frustration if they don't know and can't find out which is "best". I like to change the look of my desktop once in a while, just for variety, and because it takes about 7 mouse clicks. I hate editing text files to make configuration changes, then restarting the affected program to see what happened. The big aps like Mozilla have gone a long way to getting it right but even KDE doesn't get it. I rarely need a programmable interface, just more to frustrate me. The whole "try a new application" process is impossible. Look for a precompiled version suitable for your flavour/version/update history of linux, download it , break someting else, go to backup. Or find source, download, six or seven command line incantations, learn C++ or whatever to correct compile errors.....
It is still a professional's tool or a toy from my point of view. I am a professional computer guy in the business since '69.
Could it be that the "unfixable" NT bug may have influenced the decision to say that Server 2003 was good enough? Perhaps not fixing some "minor" bugs til later?
Look at the phone companies. They have similar problems: 1) Telemarketers (source pays), 2) Junk faxes (source pays phone bill user pays consumables), 3) Junk calls to a Cell phone (user pays for airtime, and v-mail box etc. usually).
The cell phone users were/are so P.O'ed that it rarely happens and legislation is/will be in place.
There is _little_ way to spoof your phone number, so the ISP equivalent can easily find the source of the junk call, and they (both telco and telemarketer) know it, so abuse is easier to deal with.
Watch for "security" to make it harder to deliver alot of e-mail junk without paying for the priviledge. I expect junk faxes to also fall to the courts.
I think that a SPAM is about as annoying as a pin prick. Spammers should get pricked once for every address sent to * number of messages as part of the price of sending them.
So this means that black holes never "swallow" anything because it takes infinite (to the non-participant) time to get in? Meanwhile a bunch of relativistic matter is hanging around giving off very high energy short wavelength "light"?
My high school physics says that an object falling from far enough away toward a black hole will be going the speed of light when it reaches the event horizon. At the speed of light, things that have mass, have infinite mass? (bad for the universe)? A moment later this object is now going... what? faster than the speed of light?
I also am a Canadian, and it has caused me trouble. I travel to and through the US, as I have for 35 years, and I have never seen such a collection of inefective processes forced on every traveler as recently. There was the plane hijack era where everyone was a hijacker, but that was calm compared to this "everyone is a terrorist" attitude. Does ayone really think that a trained terrorist needs a metallic or explosive weapon to kill people? Does anyone think that the next attack will be by terrorists that managed to smuggle devices by air? Do you not think that amongst the many billion people on this planet that there is not a few who look like a sane caucasian and are pro muslim reactionism? Just a small rant on behalf of me myself and I.
Of these detected planets, _some_ are large gas type planets close to the star, which would preclude there being an earthlike planet there. Our theories are based on a sample space of one, and "wobbles". OTOH, it well could be that there are earthlike planets attached to stars that don't have giants orbiting them. IMHO, there is no reason to make any prediction based on this data.

As far as I'm concerned the story is all there is. I don't give a flaming s**t who submitted it. The current policy is fine.

I'm going to believe the guy that's inside the conspiricy?

Who wants these taps? Why the MPAA of course!
Universities are hotbeds of illegal file swapping.

I know, flamebait, but fairly honest.

How about an IBM micro-drive (1GB) instead of the NVRAM type of compact flash?
They used to be Legacy Storage Systems, been around for a while. Never used their products though.

Call it "A**hole" cuz that where the company sh** hits the outside world.
