I went and listened to the realaudio presentation at the UNU site. Eric Williams (the young and lucky author of the paper) points out in his talk that:
The final numbers for any given chip are highly dependent on whether it's an existing (optimized) design, or a new chip (ASIC perhaps?)
New chips are much more resource intensive, in their initial phases.
The figures for chemical usage are based only on refining the silicone up to the point where it can be sliced to wafers. Every chip then requires additional resources for purification throughout the actual etching process. e.g. - his numbers are very low-balled.
His data sources were pretty minimal. He had more data for energy and water use, than he had for real chemical use. He points out that there are ways for the chip manufactureers to keep track of (and report) their consumption, but they're not adopted.

Is sometimes useful to gain understanding about it.
Assuming that's what you're thinking about doing, I understand that Mozilla claims compatibility with OCSP, which is the bit that CAM uses proprietary software for. It also looks like generating signatures is also tied to the MS API in the CAM, but there's likely workarounds for that.
Iron bars prevented the escape of customers, who screamed vainly for help at the windows as the building burned. The cafe was located in a hi-tech sector of the city, with two universities. Most of the dead were students, according to the article.
New regulations will be drawn up for operation of these Cafes, and those who comply will be allowed to reopen. I suppose that firewalls, as well as fire escapes, will be on the list of requirements.
Some of the kids in the CS dept used to print out entire MUDs, just to try to learn more about how they worked (and how to get the advantage, presumably).
Of course, this was back when line-printers were still in use. Printing any code listing on a laser printer is pretty much worthless. I'd give my right arm for an old 9pin epson with formfeed.
Anyways, doesn't lpd(1) keep track of page count? Seems like you could do something with that, assuming all of the users have an account on the print server.
I haven't actually worked with the toolbox since Sys7, and I haven't seen OSX at all,
but, perhaps see how much of the Macintosh functionality has been made available (quicktime.h, quickdraw.h, etc) to compilable apps. If you find that some of the toolbox actually has been made available, then it's more than BSD-style unix, otherwise, yes, it's something equal or "less".
There'd be several extremely intelligent asians around with mastery of at least two dialects, but they couldn't communicate english as well as they needed to, in order to coordinate the translations (sometimes contextual) back into the correct app-string. This makes for unsettling (to the average asian customer) dialogs in the middle of a session. It is hard work, that localization. Not to mention all of the plane fares...
Anyways, I doubt they'll discontinue the print drivers. Just a few non-profitable apps.
It's shrinking as well. The iceberg reported in the link was enough to cause a concern for shipping lanes, at the time. I don't know whatever happened to it.
The HAL conference in the Netherlands recently seemed to have a similar agenda, although the focus seemed broader there. I am surprized and pleased to see such a forum in the US, even if I cant go.
The BOFs and after-hour discussions are perhaps deeper and more insightful in Holland, or at least, it seems that way...
Is there an areologist in the house? This is your last chance to step forward for at least 4 hours, or until another editor wakes up and reads the post queue before checking the dailys/weeklies, if so.

But it's for the best, I suppose.

All of my Leisure suits are out of fashion, and the birthday suit is against new policy.

on my old 8500/120 (single CPU) last week. Exposing the boot loader was tricky, but after that it went ok. An "huzzah" seems in order for this news.

Alternatively, anyone who is against software patents.It's the shipping that would kill my budget. But thanks for the offer.
I would at least like to have to avert my eyes.

Then install linux, no need to buy a new machine.
Is an curve which quickly crosses the useful threshold very quickly but goes asymptotic to guruness.

The discussion is here. Hemos posted it under technology.
It's the natural followup to the nanoprobes measuring toxic waste article from a couple of days ago.

Where will both of the customers go?

Goat cheese is pretty tasty. Although this milk might make better string cheese.
Means that, at 100km high, perhaps one of those bigger volcanos it was going to look at took offense?
