This is closer to what I was thinking when I read the article. Although the robot idea is very sci-fi and appeals to me on a geek level, a more practical approach would be to integrate this into a HUD for the soldier, like something into the Army's Land Warrior system.
First shot gets fired, the system filters the echo, identifies the weapon, displays the weapon ID and direction on your display.
Makes a little more sense than sticking some robot out in the field and hoping someone will shoot at it.
It's partially the poster's fault for playing it up as though it was real competition for Google's start page. There are some nice design choices in the page but when it doesn't render across all browsers, you can't really call it competition.
I would love to see a Star Wars fan movie as a parody of the Holy Grail. Making that is about as close as you can get to being the ultimate geek. Well, I guess you could throw the number 42 in at every possible opportunity but I digress..
However, [Apple Senior VP Phil] Schiller said the company does not plan to let people run Mac OS X on other computer makers' hardware. "We will not allow running Mac OS X on anything other than an Apple Mac," he said.
So Macs are just going to be "less different" than other computers by using the majority processor. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Interesting that Apple's own page on the G5 towers touts how great it is over Intel with all sorts of benchmarks.
Quite true. MySQL does very well into the gigabytes. I haven't seen any good evidence of its abilities in handling terabytes of data. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of the MySQL, but I'm a bigger fan of using the right tool for the job. For your web message board, MySQL works fine. For holding product, sales, distribution, etc. information for, say Levis, it would not.

This is exactly why I am looking forward to Spore, which is driven almost entirely by user created content.
I suppose something remotely on-topic is required here, so: I own Oblivion on 360. I choose not to buy the content at that price.

They're not exactly my sysadmin toolbox -- more like my desktop enhancement kit.
Whoever came up with the article title on linux.com needs to be blamed; the author clearly disclaims it in the article.
Well, can't argue with that kind of logic, can you?
Aw, and here I was expecting Ratbot and Banana White with the Wheel of Cheese...

It was originally Duck tape.

I did similar but for a much lower level of requirements. Eventually, I was pointed here:

Only if we mix the metric and imperial systems.
It's a bit cheesy, but Jumpman, Wheel of Fortune Winter Games and some lightpen app were my C64 staples.

Of course, I never knew what it meant, I was only 6 or 7.
My Nike shirts have lasted longer than the Hanes or Cheetah ones I bought for right about $5. There is a quality difference.

Obviously an updated Yahoo Messenger for Mac.

Not to mention the fact that you'd think these organizations might have something better to do. Like oh, say, catching "terrorists".
You can't ignore one to fight the other. Where do you draw the line? Parking violations? Shoplifting?

Maybe.
But I doubt it.

That's what Perl is for...

I don't know what new structure they'll come up with for storing data, but I'm sure someone will try to port Linux to it.
Gah, I'm quoting challenged.

about people wearing costumes, no less
Hmm, I would have expected the i1984 version
Are people not taught common sense and critical thinking skills?
Common sense just isn't very common anymore.
