They talk about ISPs liscencing, but all ISPs do is provide content. It's the browsers that will need to liscence this 'idea'. This is pretty obvious. Why go up against ISPs? Probably because it's less scary than going up against Microsoft.
I agree. My first thought was: "What kind of liscence would MS use?" How MS opens the source is going to greatly affect the software industry. If they choose something so restrictive that one couldn't even use it to improve other projects like WINE, then what good would it do?
If you are looking at digits, then the next even year is 2/2/2222, since 0 is not odd nor even. But if you are looking at the whole year, then 2000 is even. But that means that 1/1/2001 would be the next odd day, since 2001 is odd. So I suspect that it is digits we are looking at. Therefore, enjoy today while you can, it's going to be a *LOOOONG* time until an even or odd day.
They also searched anonymous FTPs and ftp servers with obvious passwords (mp3,mp3) or people who posted a message in their FTP site to email them, and they would email them the name and password. I think the last bit is a little fuzzy, because I don't think they actually *emailed* the person, just denied them access if they said they would provide passwords.
The whole PPC vs. Intel debate has forced Motorola to increase it's mhz, rather than work on other (maybe more important) factors, to keep up the competition.
Chip listed a couple other contenders (ObjC, Eiffel, Ada) but decided not to choose them because of various issues ranging from implementation to the availability of compilers on many platforms. In the end he says:
"So, we're left with C++. It's rather like the comment that I believe Winston Churchill is reported to have said about democracy: It's absolutely the worst system except for all the others. So, C++ is the worst language we could have chosen, except for all the others. "

That's why Sex is so great. (At least in terms of the spread and change of phenotypes)
Although in organisms with short genomes and limited populations, genetic crossovers probably won't lead to much change under a harsh environment, because all permutations will eventually be tried.
Actually, you could still use this method to create something new, although not from scratch. One of the great aspects of this method is that one could better determine what each segment *did* by leaving it out/mutating it. Plus, sticking in some new code is cool, although that isn't exactly new.
Under some definitions of 'species' I could be considered another species, since I carry a chromasomal translocation, and I cannot have children with 'normal' humans. I require another human with the same translocation.
Of course, that definition is only one in a long list.
I think that the machine has to have a PCI bus at least to run linuxppc or yellow dog. The ones with the MCA bus won't work, well... until someone ports it. (Side note: Wasn't there an effort to get the MCA bus working on those PS/2s?)
ACtually, Vicom internet gateway reinvents the wheel. OpenTransport has the ability to do the equivilent of IPMasq (as far as I remember) and you can use a tool called IPNetRouter to do so. Plus, it's probably cheaper. (not open-source though)
I seem to recall that the guy who discovered the fractal antennae phenomena was stuck in an apartment where he couldn't have an antenna out his window, so he just bent a hanger into a rough fractal shape and his shortwave reception was acceptable.
I don't think that the Mandelbrot would work in this situation because it is not symmetric around a point and self-similar. Especially at a level in which you could burn in silicon.
I imagine some of the segfaults could be attrributed to redhat 6.0's use of glibc2.1. I've run into problems before. Anyone else know if G2 uses any glib2.1 calls (or outdated 2.0 calls)?

I got my degree in Biology (Ok, I did write a program for my thesis, and implemented it in an experiment, so it wasn't pure science and no code) and I decided to earn some money after graduating. I got a job at the University, which pays OK, and even better, I can take classes for free. I'm thinking of just taking classes in whatever seems interesting. The benefits are good, and the pay is fine for a single loner who doesn't ever socialize anyway.
I can understand the sentiment from the science world. Some of my classmates spend over 60 hours a week (easily) in the lab, for a miserable pay (if a pay at all). But what's different between science and technology? With science, you feel that you are *doing* something, that you have left your mark in the world. You write papers and your *name* shows up on the paper. Do you ever get thanked at the coder of a certain part of a huge project? Probably not. I know as a scientist, I loved the ability to do things. Now, as a techie, I do occasionally get thanked for helping, which is nice, but there is pretty little recognition.
Actually, I've set up a similar configuration with netatalk, so the users could edit their files with standard apple filesharing. This of course was for a mac campus, so asking them to do FTP was a little bit too much.
I started reading GEB:EGB back freshman year in college, and I still go through parts of it just because it is fun. I disagree with some parts of it, but I don't think that makes it necessarily *bad*.
One think I liked about it: he'd be talking about music or biochemistry or logic, but his point would be from some completely different area. He'd sneak in little things, even small things like the tortose saying "Tata". Pretty cool.
Of course, it's nonlinear nature is something I liked. Some people don't like that kind of thing.
So close, and yet so far...

Genes can travel from one bacteria to another fairly easily with bacterial viruses. Thats one of the ways that scientists put genes into a genome, in recombinant genetics. I think the concern is if the resistance in new diseases to penicillin being transferred into new diseases.

... which really caught on when there was a GNU compiler, open API, and test code.

Subject says it all.
(look at the section before the "More secure" myth, or line 215 in the HTML Code, where there is a missing )
