Should the encoder machine also be a server? It might be better to have the encoding done by a dedicated machine, with the resulting stream fed through LAN to the server. This avoids conflicts between the encoding and server software. If the two machines are in the same room then a dedicated LAN for the audio stream can also avoid LAN congestion problems for this source feed.
There may also be advantages in putting the server in a campus network center, having only the encoder machine in the radio facility. If the audio feeds will be allowed out through the firewall to the Internet, the campus network people have to be consulted. They also may want to set limits for WAN versus LAN use. (How many people on campus will use LAN audio if they can use a $10 radio? But maybe alumni or off-campus residents will like the stream...)
Well, no matter. There's a lot of hydrocarbons out there also. We discussed Titan hydrocarbons already. Comets have been observed spewing hydrogen and carbon for some time. Volatiles seem to have been driven out of the inner Solar System, so might have to send robots to Saturn to fetch some. Unless we use an Orion drive or fusion torch; then the travel time will be on a human scale.
Actually, I didn't mention nuclear power. There's a lot of fuel for that also, as there are uncollected radioactives everywhere. And as an S-type asteroid probably has an assortment of metals, there will be some with a lot of fissionables. As well as a lot of tritium and other possible fusion fuels on the Moon's surface.
I think the patent should have been issued. It is a method which may help childbirth and I think it would work. The patent law forbids a patent for a solution which is obvious to an expert, but it does not forbid a patent for something which is obviously impractical to an expert.
On the other hand, that patent might apply to the maternity ward on a rotating space station...which has been obvious to experts for decades.
You're assuming the Earth is a closed system. It only is if we don't go asteroid mining...or if we don't succeed in creating fusion (if there isn't a water cycle in the Solar System, it only takes importing a little space ice to replace the amount of water we'd be losing).
I won't post links because they'll change too fast for archival purposes and we all have favorite search engines. And if you really want one you'll start searching in your favorite online shopping sites, and those URLs are useless for posting here.
It depends upon the particular situation whether surgery is needed. Your doctor needs to help you. There are levels of severity of the syndrome and treatments range through rest, anti-inflammatory drugs (starting with aspirin), up through surgery (invasive medicine is always the last resort). Remember that each body grows a little differently, so the details of how the wrist was assembled and your movement habits are different from other people.
"fetchmail-announce" grows because it is a low-volume list with announcements of interest to all users, not only contributors. It must be a low-volume newsgroup so people do not feel much need to unsuscribe.
"fetchmail-friends" is self-limiting. Too much discussion tends to drive away those who are not interested and participating. The constant number of members suggests it is an active enough group that people are unsubscribing when they are not interested in the discussion. If there were no discussion, fewer people would bother to unsubscribe.
The lines of code is changing slowly because it is a special-purpose tool. It is undergoing adjustments and improvements, but its basic function is unchanged. It just works, and people use it.
This is not something which needs dozens of modules and reports to meet different needs. You see geometric growth in a growth medium, not inside a steel girder. What you see in a steel girder is its structural support and the occasional attachment of a needed improvement.
OK, so they can move molecules around. Now if only someone had the parts for a remotely controlled nanorobot, they could assemble the thing. Then they'd be able to use the nanorobot rather than their probe tip.
I'm sure their server will just love the/. effect from people downloading the 10MB video...

What did the Post do to make Netscape 4.7 lay the company info box over the top of the article? I want to avoid causing the same mess..
Gee, my comment was so secret that it has no Subject. :-)

The listeners which are on the campus LAN are restricted by LAN bandwidth, not WAN bandwidth. T1 is only a fraction of 10/100Mbps LAN.
It does look useful. But although you like the ends a techie achieves, you don't want to know the means which involve a corkscrew...
I got reattached for the last few minutes. They mentioned a transcript will be on the CNN chat page in a few days.
What kind of servers are they using? CNN's Java client quit after 20 minutes and won't reconnect. Tsk.
The KDE FAQ does not use the same phrasing, it says in 2.6 that KDE uses the Qt C++ crossplatform toolkit, which comes with its own license.

dbProbe? Web OLAP. Commercial. Java.
And you'll keep getting assorted answers in various directions unless you're more specific...

I don't see this product on IBM's site. Nor a press release. I'd like to get one at that price, but this is just another Wearables intro in pop media.
Three people replied in a minute with the same idea. I rest my case.
The muggers might not think of it until after they hear that several of their friends are on mandatory vacations because of it...

What you see in a steel girder is its structural support and the occasional attachment of a needed improvement.Unfortunately the asker of the question does not have a Tillamook system. Maybe he can at least Beta Overclock a Toshiba notebook as one of the upgrades from Portable Enhancements. Or see if NCS has it in their list.
Yes, Webmethods does look useful. I'd have more confidence in it if their web pages were not moronized.
