Yeah, something like smbfs for mounting samba shares. A lot of times, you don't need a lot of speed and you just want to allow mounting without adding a new service. Something running off ssh would be great.
fishio on konqueror does this, allowing you to browse a remode ssh account like it was a local folder, but I don't think you could mount it as a normal home directory or fs.
Maybe the specific implementation of "shelves in the door" was specific / general enough to give advantage while allowing the limited monopoly.
The idea is novel, and no one else can implement shleves in a fridge door without impending the existing patent. Maybe drawers would be novel, but not shelves. Crazy.
There was something about a refrigerator maker patenting the idea of shelves in the door. They got the patent on an *idea* and completely dominated the market for years.
Kenmore or maytag or someone. Totally ran the competition out of bidness.
Not quite like your 3 minute 5 minute washing machine, but similar. If you have a novel idea, you patent it in a general way so you dominate the market. That is what patents are about. Crazy stuff. Some seem silly, and you could have patented that,so why didn;t you?
SGI also had a nasty run in with Windows NT for a while. If I remember correctly, they bet on NT based PC chip graphics workstations for their "next generation". The performance never panned out, and they had to do something. IRIX and MIPS were outdated, so they moved toward Linux. Not sure what chips they are currently supporting, but I think it is a mix of x86 and MIPS.
Why would anyone bring that crap into the country after the war? Are you serious?
The munitions they found two weeks ago were not "trace amounts". Estimates were running that that one shell could kill thousands if used properly.
And we didn't "bomb the fuck" out of the country. The US knew they would have to rebuild the craphole country and minimized damange to infrastructure. The insurgents are currently "bombing the fuck" out of their country.
Can't you use fresnel along with photvoltaic to improve the power of the photovoltaics? Maybe not this size of fresnel, but smaller, cheaper ones to get a boost on your cells.
I went to the site and opened 20-30 tabs to load the various images in the photo journal, but for some reason very few of the images have loaded. The ones that did load so far do look pretty nice, but boring...
OMG, They all loaded eventually. Amazing.

Exactly. I though RedHat was the way, and as soon as I validated the software I needed (Matlab, Maple, others) I moved my boxes to RedHat 9.0. A couple of months later they announced this end of life, plus the convoluted Fedora Core program.
This week, now that RH has "expired" we are looking at switching to a debian based system, build from knoppix 3.4. This way, the OS infrastructure and support should always be free. Knoppix removes some of the perceived pain of debian installs.
Either way, I am currently running unsupported and have to upgrade to something thanks to RedHat. They screwed me although I bought boxed sets from them, now I am doing my part in return.
This stupid move by RedHat helps to splinter the OSS movement a bit, but some would argue that RH was becoming the MS of Linux.
Random process => normal distribution = bell curve.
Yes, you could get all the good people in one group, but that would be very unlikely. Possilbe, but unlikely, just like walking (tunneling) through a wall.
I once TAd a class with 200 students. Amazingly bell curve performance.
If you have to cut someone, wouldn't you rather it be based on a defensible metric of some sort rather than some arbitrary "suzie is cute, so I cut john". Yeah, it promotes backstabin and my for myself attittude.
I think 100 F was the temperature of the human body (as accurately as they could tell at the time).
F makes more sense for temperature (not scientifically). 0 is damn cold, 100 is damn hot, and you can feel a change of a degree or two.
In C, you have to go to something like -10 is cold and 30 is hot and you may change the thermostat by half a degree. I agree, C is better for science, but in the real world who cares where water boils or freezes.
I have never seen it crash, but I have seen it hang to the point that CTRL-ALT-DEL would not bring up the task manager. The mouse still moves, occasionally, but I don't think this is a actual crash of XP.
I love my linux desktop. Use matlab -nojvm and I have no worries. And Office works great for me using codeweaver office.
Non responsive is just as bad as a flat out BSOD. At least my unix boxes I can usually ssh in and kill jobs if something really hangs.
Did anyone read the part about RTLinux limitations:
"RTLinux switches tasks in milliseconds, while ITRON switches tasks in microseconds," he said. "RTLinux' footprint is measured in megabytes; ITRON is measured in kilobytes."
Funny to see someone call a Linux version bloated and slow...
At the met in NYC they already have a little unobtrusive LCD display on the back of each chair in front of you for line by line translation in real time.
It was nice to be able to follow along the text or just listen without too much technical trouble (like a PDA)
I don't work on dynamic simulation, but I know people that do.
I really don't know of any free / free dynamic simulators out there, even the academic ones are costly unless you are academic.
ABACUSS II is available free from MIT, but it may not be the most friendly simulator, compared to Aspen or Hysys. Look at Barton's page. Process Systems Enterprises at Imperial has Gproms, they may give that to universities for free as well.
Generally, for dynamic simulation, you are looking to solve Differential Algebraic Equations. You have algebraic constraints and dynamic Ordinary differential equations. Numerically, you should start out using sparse linear algebra routines. I think there are free sparse linear algebra routines (LAPACK??).
The other problem comes from physical properties. I do not know of any available phys properties packages, sorry. Real simulators offer many different options for thermodynamics.
Finally, you need a nice library of components. This may take many man years to develop.
Also finally, some solvers have specialized routines for special types of equipment, like special solvers / methods for petrochemical distillation columns. Good luck handling those problems!!
Suggestion, find a good free numerical tool that you can extend and make it work. Release your problems and get people to help.
You may want to look at scilab, a simulink clone from the french. Questionable license, I believe.
I have broadband cable at home, but using mozilla through a remote X connection stinks. It usually hangs if I accidently ever drag and drop a email message. For some reason, the little D&D icon causes a great deal of problems in my setup. Plus, windows take forever to draw. Other stuff seems a ton snappier.
Anyone else have this problem? It happens for a couple of my linux home boxes.

Two presidents were impeached, Andrew Johnson and Slick Willie.

Neither ended up convicted and removed from office.
Something similar was done at Georgia Tech to the statue of Heisman.
Some studious student took bronze polish to the old statue, giving the man a nice shiny bikini.
Technically, they didn't damage the stature, just polished it selectively.
Eventually, Tech put some brown stuff over the bikini lines, but you can still see the outline of his previous selection if you look real close.

I think they fingerprint you when they arrest you and put that info in some database. Is this really that different from DNA sampling?
Wrongly arrested have legal recourse. Perhaps they can get it removed, but how often are people really "wrongly arrested"?

Forget the 48 series. That is too dang new.
Real old schoolers use a 15C or 10C.
No graphing, just good solid hardware and RPN. A calculator can be used to calculate.

So, a single suitcase nuke in NYC would not be considered a Weapon of Mass Destruction?
A single shell with enough chemical agent to kill thousands (tens of thousands) of people is not a weapon of mass destruction?
I smell an illogical bush hating liberal...
Can't you use fresnel along with photvoltaic to improve the power of the photovoltaics? Maybe not this size of fresnel, but smaller, cheaper ones to get a boost on your cells.
I could be wrong...
You are kidding, right? Trolling for a response?
It is all about floating the blimp, the bouyancy of the envelope. The difference in density is what gives you lift in a blimp (or a boat).
I assume you are kidding, you never know. I ran into a cashier at KFC that did't know how many were in a dozen, she insisted it was 6 in a dozen...

Bell curve does have a logical basis.
Take engineering stats and learn about it.
Random process => normal distribution = bell curve.

Taco should automatically bump out anyone with more that a couple of GNAA strings in a post.
They bump based on IP, but GNAA is probably distributing the attack.
I think 100 F was the temperature of the human body (as accurately as they could tell at the time).

the do-it-yourself pvr box linux solution mythtv does that as an option. It will auto detect commercials for your supposedly.
Ease-of-use is the draw for me. I tell my tivo I like star trek, it records various scifi crap and star trek for me to watch when I want, how I want.
I have not made a linux pvr yet since it is not easy to do, although they may be just as easy to use. And I don't have a tuner card...
Let this be another lesson to everyone that anything not encrypted online could be in public view.
Email, web pages, newsgroup posts, whatever.
You may think it is funny now, but others might not get your humor one day when your name pops up in a google cache or email archive.
Option 3:
Cheapbytes Linux $3
OpenOffice FREE
Option 4:
For those that only have to read email attachments, just use Crossover plugin with the free word viewer and free excel viewer.
Other options, win4lin, vmware. I have used both vmware and crossover and I have always been quite happy.
Linux is about choice and freedom.
