Not true, driving home from school today, flipping through a few stations they mentioned Diebold. One station really had an in-depth coverage about it.
One of the acknowledged favorites is Red Team Robot Racing out of Carnegie Mellon University. William "Red" Whittaker, the Fredkin Professor of Robotics there, is overseeing the project. Whittaker devised robots that helped clean up the accident at Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island power plant. The team's budget is said to exceed $1 million. While CMU is building a vehicle from an old Humvee,
Well hell, I could do that, and for alot less then $1 mill too! 20lb weight on the gas pedal, point it towards the finish line wammo, I mean look what it does to imports and brick walls. I'm sure a bit of 'rough' terrain wont stop this sucker.
Umm this ISNT for killing people, it's for testing nuclear weapons. Yes they may simulate explosions of weapons, but they also test and simulate the effects of having these nukes sit here for so long, see if they're stable or not.
Well in a way it is a matter of base-10 vs base-2 because giga, terra, mega, et al are base 10 prefixes but people are applying them to base-2 applications (eg: memory).
Like the engineers at a drive manufacturing company aren't smart enough to know that if you calculate a kilobyte in base 2 you are going to calculate a megabyte, or gigabyte in base 2.
That's where the standard agrument fails, because mega, kilo, giga, terra, et al are base 10 prefixes not base 2.

It never said it was "Free Software", it said it was "Open Source".
A Good Read about Free Software vs OSS.
IPC actually
Why not use this mentioned in the summary. A) it loads fast, and b) layout is quite a bit better.

Meh, that's what I get for looking up info on my old Sun 'lunchbox' and trying to post a /. comment :)
Well depending on what it streams at. Even if I would do what you mentioned, it better stream at 192+ before I'd even try that, waste of time imo.
gah my bad I transposed 2 letters :P
Sun 'Origin' High-Performance Servers and Supercomputers.
Can anybody tell me what, these are?

Think I can get Doom3 to run on one of these?
New Israeli processor operates at the speed of light. A Dual-Chip system expected to be a minimum requirement for Half-Life 3.

torrent link since the movies were getting a bit sluggish :)
rods to the hogshead was bad enough, now we got Plant ton/(km|mi)!? WHEN WILL IT END!?
Killer app: once RFID tags are in garments in stores, this could indicate all the ones that would fit you. Shoppers at sales would love this
Not only would the shoppers love it but everybody else who has to see your pant size is about 5 too small.
Oh boo hoo, the reason it's not in Perl is probably because there's a better/easier way :)
(Please note I have no clue what he means by continuations)
1/2 megabit > 64Kilobit :)
This is hardly informative . . . if you've checked Freenet lately:
a) it's a 'reasearch project' not an actual program
b) it's near impossible to insert or retrieve anything from the network
Evidently his site doesn't handle traffic very well, especially on the Slashdot Scale.
I'm still reading all the links . . . gimmie a bit to formulate a comment . in themeantime:
Imagine a . . oh wait.
