Fortunately, the poor have gotten richer also. That's both why there are so many members of the middle class, and why your great-grandfather's log cabin is not full of his sixteen descendants. Wealth is created, it is not limited.
OK, here is a picture. Now, why do you think no pictures would have been odd?
It hasn't been up long enough to get to many places to take pictures of.
A lot of its experiments are not cameras.
Low-resolution pictures on the Web are of limited scientific use. The pictures have certainly been given to the appropriate researchers.
Or maybe you thought it odd that there are no pictures of DS-1 itself in flight? Well, it's not as if there are other probes flitting around close enough to take pictures of each other. Oh, all, right, if you insist.. Here is a photograph of DS-1 in flight. I hope it is all that you expected.
Oh, pooh. Try The Adolescence of P1, of an AI whose purpose is to avoid detection. I particularly liked its making programs more efficient so it could use the extra time...
"World hunger" is not a technical problem -- the United States alone can produce enough food for the entire world (and then some). The problem is distribution and politics.
Yup. Move the entire human population to Texas and every man, woman, and child will have over 1,000 square feet. Larger than most apartments. And all the food only has to be moved to one place. Moving things without using up square footage for roads is left as an exercise for the builder...
So you're saying that someone with a device against which there is no defense would be unable to use it to defend themselves? I'll wait for the movie... (Actually, to teleport things also implies technologies which would allow force fields and tractor beams, due to the nuclear forces involved)
Would we want to contact or avoid any creatures which can manipulate physics on a stellar scale?
Personally, I'd consider an intentional massive radiation burst as an act of war, particularly if I'm close enough for it to be ionizing radiation. Particularly as when the burst is made the creators would have no idea whether we're shielded by our planet or if we have millions of people wandering around the solar system, a matter of only a few hundred years.
If only it were that simple. There is a SETI theory that the reason the galaxy is not full of migrating life forms is because life was being killed earlier.
The "resetting the clock" theory is that the young Milky Way galaxy was being sterilized by stellar radiation bursts about every 200 million years. Any life was destroyed. We hope the galaxy is old enough now that it won't happen again too soon. Of course, we're not a colony planet already because other life began at around the same time as us, so has not had time to spread throughout the galaxy already.
As long as we can live through whatever it does, now that the astronomers have noticed it they'll be getting a good show. Even becoming a quiet star will be interesting.
Oh, yes, I have a Nova Velorum. Doesn't accelerate very fast, but the gas mileage is good. And the seat covers feel so nice when I'm wearing short pants.
Nope, it would not be the closest. At 7,500 light years, it is somewhat further than Cygnus X-1 at 6,000 light years.
It already is an interesting show, although it would become less interesting if it goes nova as it will blind us for a while from seeing the nearby stuff which presently makes it so pretty. At least the southern hemisphere would get to see the bright light in the sky for a while.
We'd get some increase, but it would probably have to go supernova for a significant amount of radiation to get past our atmosphere.
Of course, a supernova would geneate a neutrino burst (most supernova models require it, or else the blast does not happen). I think we already have 300 neutrinos per cubic centimeter, and I don't know at what level they...um.. become toxic.
Well, let's hope he finds the real information, such as Spurgeon's Ethernet Web Site [and a historical Ethernet drawing] rather than amateur histories and wrong information such as "collision level of 10% is bad".
The Open/Closed Source debate was as apparent in the early days of the Internet. The History of GNU says a lot of software was free in early 1970's, but most was proprietary by the early 1980's. That inspired GNU.
I tend to agree, although there were sources of sources then. One of those was NASA's COSMIC, but the main web site is shut down -- any mirrors around?
Actually, this ball got rolling 30 years ago. Source code for community programming has been in use for at least that long.
In the 1970s I was doing system programming on a CDC mainframe. We and other customers customized and improved the OS, used CDC knowledge bases and electronic bulletin boards to share the info with CDC and other customers. Manufacturers also sponsored user groups which also often had magnetic tape archives of various software tools.
Of course by then the more well-known UNIX source code was permeating universities.
Now more manufacturers are rediscovering the benefits of giving away razor handles and selling the razor blades for it, even if it does tend to produce more discussion about the benefits of various brands of compatible blades...
I agree, US West did not mind Linux for me either. I also opted for self-install, but when it did not work I got to wade through various support groups. One phone menu gave me three MS-Windows choices, so I chose NT so that I'd get a person who at least had an inkling of the capabilities of an OS. [Yes, it was a comm config problem in the CO and not an OS issue]
Just compile and install the fix. If someone attacks your machine, your watchdog board will reboot into the new kernel. The uptime will take care of itself.
Who ensures that the regulators issue regulations that do not stifle innovation? Will these regulations allow only what is regulated? How will someone determine if the problems are due to the application or operating system? ...if the application problems are due to differing versions of an OS? ...if the application problems are due to hardware behaving differently under different versions of an OS? ...if the application problems are due to different hardware on the same OS?

OK, so devote one percent of the machine to an expert system which looks for new adjustments...
Here is a report which does not require registration.
Oh, you prefer a Linux program that can answer common sense questions?
It's already in use. It's floating around in space. We'll know what it is doing only by what it chooses to tell us...of maybe that's why we're taking pictures of the probe from Earth. :-)

Try the Linux Tablet Homepage.
Found on LinuxApps: The Icod program converts .ico files to XPM X-format pixmaps.

Well, feel free to try to make Mozilla better.
Or you can try to make IE better...

Will these regulations allow only what is regulated?
