I think the original author can publish their code under several licenses. But they can't take the improvements by other people made under the GPL and add them to their code without infecting their code with the GPL. Ghostscript tried to work around this by getting a separately-licensed version of a mod directly from its author, but people disagreed whether that was really free of GPL.
Why isn't this called a 50X drive? That's how much faster it is than a 5.25" drive, and that seems to be how other drive speeds are measured, based on the speed of the first popular drive of the type...:-)
Yeah, it sounds like a Junior High science project. Maybe my 9-year-old would like to feed several dozen jars of slime from the swamp down the street and breed the ones which produce Hydrogen while they're getting both sunlight and Sulphur.
Yes, if a version can be found, or bred, which constantly operates in both photosynthesis and anaerobic modes then it can be recharging itself at the same time it produces Hydrogen.
I wouldn't be surprised if such a version already exists in the wild in swamps. It's an obvious advantage in a hostile environment. Whether it exists may depend upon whether the two activation paths are mutually exclusive at a low level.
So build a glass pond with mirrors around it and on the bottom to provide more light from more directions...and stick glass columns all over your pool to make a bunch of "holes" for light to enter.
Oh, good. I was wondering why/. behavior had changed recently. Thanks for letting us know. [I'm not going to mention it and decrease your number of listeners...]
Not having a place to place the rant is another indicator that an "About Slashdot" Section is necessary.
Please make an About Slashdot Section Give it a Slashbox as "Features" has. Let people submit items to it. Significant articles can be promoted to main page, just as "Ask Slashdot" does.
Then we can have discussions about our discussions system, rather than scattering these metadiscussions within the other articles. At least once a week we go off on a/. tangent in some unfortunate discussion. Save us from ourselves...
It would be more challenging to give each player a ball and score by moving a puck (with dimples which the ball fits in). Then brain control of 2-D movement becomes important, which requires coordinated brain control rather than merely suppressed.
Of course, implementation and training become more complex...and to be of practical use the designers would have to choose brain areas which are interesting to have control over.
To get a digital output from a licensed CSS player you have to use one of the Windows programs which accepts the decrypted digital data from the player. The player thinks the Windows program is a display. I don't remember the name, but that's been around for a while.
Well, MS just proved that Win2000 crashes half as often as Win95, so Win95 would have been down around that 80%... if you had Directory services running on 95..
But tools for MS-Windows which grabbed the decoded DVD video after decoding by a licensed player existed before DeCSS. And any real DVD pirate would simply be using the same industrial equipment which is already making pirate DVDs. I'm still waiting for a Linux DVD viewer before I buy any DVDs..
Okay, look up the short story by Henry Kuttner called 'Nothing but Gingerbread Left'. I saw it in a Science Fiction anthology. It's fiction about linguists winning World War II by creating a poem/pop tune in German which the German soldiers couldn't stop thinking about. It's more complex than a simple idea, it's a contagious tapestry of conflicting ideas.
It doesn't use the term "meme" because it was published in 1943.
Maybe it's just that more of the Linux users tend to be network connected than other populations, thus they're more likely to be heard from online. Or better at using the network tools to express themselves.
There is some self-interest in Linux. A Linux user is either a Unix user who adopted this new flavor, or is a non-Unix person who decided the effort to test and learn Linux was worth the trouble. Those who convinced themselves that Linux was worth the effort to try it had to convince themselves that it was worth doing so. Some of those people will be advocates, and some will be defensive about their present O.S. choice.
You're less likely to hear from those of us who aren't passionate about something. You get to hear from those who most strongly agree or disagree...and those who agree may simply think that you're as normal as them and see no need to comment.

Careful, Brother, you could put someone's eye out with that spoon if you're not careful.

Doesn't The Official Secrets Act require Blair to lie when necessary to hide secrets which he knows?

MS owns pieces of so many companies that this was bound to happen.
It depends on what your definition of "AND" is.
Of course, implementation and training become more complex...and to be of practical use the designers would have to choose brain areas which are interesting to have control over.
At least a couple of hardware manufacturers are benefitting...
Um.. Rockwell builds the Shuttle engines; Morton Thiokol builds the solid rocket boosters.
Yes, it was in the 1970s that a new ice age was considered possible. So Earth was 10 years behind the global warming hoopla.
