People have complained for a long time pain due to holding writing implements. It's called writer's cramp Actually, I see the mouse as a more comfortable version of a pen. A mouse is intended to detect the large hand motions, without detecting the detail from precise positioning with the finger tips.
Personally, I prefer my keyboard with the Touchpoint mouse in the middle. I don't have to use the large arm muscles to wave around a mouse or pen, and I don't have to move my hand away from the keyboard. The next best thing might be the foot-operated mice which have appeared on the market a few times...
According to the FOX obits, he died Saturday. We've probably seen film of him on a rocket sled, but the above link at Edwards AFB points out that going fast was a side effect of these sudden-stop tests. FOX says that Dr. Stapp popularized Murphy's Law.
It's an incantation I hit accidentally. I promptly reported it. Apparently it still hasn't been fixed, but seems to do no harm. I apply it when appropriate. Fear not, I only use it for good.
And this is another example of a discussion which should be in a SlashdotTalk discussion page, if there were one for us to discuss/. in...
Oh, that's cute. CUPS has a free version under the GPL or one can buy a non-GPL license which does not require release of your altered source code. They must be keeping a non-GPL-licensed copy of CUPS for licensing.
I've done similar tricks. I'm using some techniques on a home computer which I intend to use soon at the office. I'll take a copy from home to the office for our use there before I infect my home copy with the GPL.
Your local time doesn't matter if the cloud of dust is not there at the same time. Just before dawn is the general rule.
The "Peak Time" being mentioned is when the comet's orbit intersects that of the Earth. From experience we know that the dust cloud is not always present at that point. The 33-year cycle is from several past observations -- the math is still being worked on.
As was already mentioned, the dust cloud was 12-18 hours off of last year's orbital intersection. Plus or minus 12 covers a 24-hour period. Youse watches the skies, youse takes youse chances.
"Even if you are looking for the model, the train curves away so quickly you never get more than a glimpse. Even a fast look makes clear the thought and design that went into its construction." Go through there with a camcorder and some cameras ready to go.
Actually, sometimes "The Future" is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The architect (I forget his name) who popularized rounded and wedge shapes on buildings with assorted protuberances (I actually first became acquainted with the shapes as the background of The Flash's visits to the future) had a strong influence on today's architects. Materials, functional requirements, and expense affects actual designs but the influence is visible.
Flying cars were popular in the future of the 1950's. The founder of Moller has been striving toward it ever since, and test flight of the four-seater Skycar prototype is scheduled this year.
Transit methods such as the Disney monorail have also been around for a long time. Personal Rapid Transit devices have assorted designs, of which Taxi2000 is my favorite. 3-4 passenger vehicles which take you from your station directly to your destination station. No schedules, and a tiny overhead track. These PRT technologies have actually greatly gained capabilities with microcomputers, as now automated guidance and control is much simpler and cheaper.
Remember when CDs and DAT came out? The Music Industry tried to restrict copying by legislation. Now we're using $200 CD writers for portable data, and Panasonic is running commercials for their CD copiers. And the Music Industry still sells a lot of CDs.
"Final servicing mission is due for 2003, after that HST lasts as long as it lasts."
Start placing your bids now to buy whatever is remaining. Whether it's 2003 or 2010.. place a bet whether you'll be able to afford to send someone up to put your own modules on it...
Of course, if by 2010 there are commercial launches which can put a larger mirror up there then maybe that thing being in orbit won't be an advantage.
It's been done on Earth. Well over a decade ago I saw on TV (perhaps "NOVA") a bank of light bulbs on a tower being lit by power received from another tower. You don't need a pile of solar cells in orbit to test microwave transmission engineering.
The general consensus is that Tesla's idea may work, but only on a planet where you are not using metal in building structures, cars, machinery, telephone, cable TV, etc. Anything metal would have to be designed to not have random shapes be power antennas. And be careful of the design of your belt buckle.
As for Solar Power Satellites, the concept still exists. Various designs exist. They await a way to get enough material cheaply enough into orbit without using a surface-launched Orion Drive.
The term "Solar Power Satellites" or "Satellite Power Stations" comes up with a bunch of web pages. Browse.
And if the hospital can't fix problems in the software they are somehow not as liable?
I've encountered many problems in [non-medical] proprietary systems. With source code I've been able to fix many more than without source code. In a number of cases I've been able to fix a problem by installing a GNU tool or a public device driver, but in many cases that was not possible.
What they dont tell you is that there will still be the same radioactive waste that so scared you with Fission.
Look at the chart at the top of Pulsed Power Engineering where is shown the energy levels for transmutation of nuclear waste. This will allow that nuclear waste to be converted to more ordinary stuff.
So we'll be able to take remodel a fusion or fission reactor, dump all the radioactive stuff into the transmuter, and get non-radioactive stuff. Sure, some of the radioactive iron may no longer be the same iron isotope or may no longer be iron, but it can be separated and processed using ordinary chemical and manufacturing methods at that point.
We're already doing transmuting in the lab but energy is too expensive to do it routinely. But then we're talking about after energy is cheap...and the high-energy plasma available as a side effect of hot fusion will allow interesting engineering and manufacturing.
Yes, trapping the heat is exactly it. But a lot smaller than a Kansas cavern wrapped in strong layers.
In July, Sandia explained this same liquified fusion reactor module design on this web page. Includes diagrams and details of this interesting bit of engineering.
There is a summary of where we are with pulsed power engineering. Notice we're already at the point where we can take apart non-nuclear waste into its components, which allows detoxification and recycling.
Now, how do you suppose it would translate that phrase? It is totally appropriate and polite when referring to the appearance of universal translators.
So can I plug the base station into a POTS phone line for analog voice, and to a LAN for the network services? I have a separate data LAN at home, so don't need the base station to do anything like modem dialing.
Perhaps you should glean this and the previous discussion for Frequently Asked Questions...
Well, I've been using shared memory for status displays for years. When I converted Statnet to shared memory 2-3 years ago, it meets the patent claims 1 and 2 (user config info is stored in client display). It doesn't meet claim 3 because network packet activity is not stock quotes...although it might sometimes be called news.
The claim for over 1,000 servers also isn't met by Statnet to my knowledge. It has DIPC distributed shared memory support, so the memory could be shared across 1,000 servers. I just am not aware of any such installation yet.
The Yahoo patent forbids you from keeping your rug design in shared memory and using that shared memory to fill in the motions for separate movement processes.
In layman's terms, the patent forbids your left hand from knowing what your right hand is doing. Rug weaving is out. Maybe you can become a Los Angeles delivery driver.

It's simply that Linux is good enough if you're not feeding several T1 circuits to a single server. Particularly if you know what "BSOD " means.

Sounds like a need for Open Doctor Schedules.

Sounds like a challenge for a distributed-processing project... :-)

You neglected to consider why do you think high taxes are necessary.

There's other info about the Z-pinch methods elsewhere, if you're interested in nuclear engineering.
