They say you can move your music around and play it anywhere, but then provide it only in a protected proprietary format. Who cares whats on Itunes? Only a complete idiot would buy music from them.
Meters work on circuit lag. You can also spin the meter backwards by increasing the circuit lead. I discovered this by accident while running some kilns with phase fired scr's on the power supply. As I turned it down to just under 50% of the phase(inrcreasing the circuit lead), the meter would come to a complete stop. A bit more and it would begin to spin backwards. Of course, you could hear the power lines humming for over 100 yards in any direction from my house. It was unfortunate that the process I was running didnt work in that power range, or I would have left it there.
pgfortran produces highly optimized parallel code for running on multi processor machines and clusters. It has for years. CF90 produces highly optimized code for running on 1024 processor machines, and has for years. Neither one is an interpreter. If you want fast parallel math code, get a good compiler. There are plenty of them available, including many free ones.
I once had the misfortune to work on a piece of spagetti that was full of alters. To make it worse, they were named alter1 alter2 alter3 alter4 and so on. After 3 days of trying to understand a convoluted piece of logic, and thinking you finally knew what it was doing, you would hit a line like alter alter1 to alter4, alter 3 to alter2. Arrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Vista was never intended for a producer's use. It is a consumers o/s. It is intended only to regulate the consumers use of a producers media. You should probably continue to use what you have.
Always make this your first question. "What is a one word definition of the phrase 'almost right'?" If they give any answer but 'wrong', cut the interview short and see the next person in line. It will save you lots of heartache later.
Until the 50's, we had 2 court systems in the USA, the legal courts and equity courts. It has always been known that justice has nothing to do with the law, but the lawyers won and the equity courts are gone. Now we have the Department of Justice, (which yields none), the banking secrecy act,( which insures the lack of secrecy), a thousand other such misnamed things, and no sign of truth, justice, or the "american way" anywhere in the land.
Assuming this was made of rock, hit land, and only moving at 10Km/sec, It would have been accelerated by gravity during the fall to somewhere around 11.2Km/sec and yielded a crater something on the order of 1Km diameter and 0.2Km deep. (a bit smaller than the crater in arizona) It would have also caused a magnitude 6.6 earthquake.
We can rest assured that all terrorists will promptly upgrade their crypto systems to use the backdoored versions. They are a patriotic and considerate bunch after all.
Not a happy day for moronic business decisions is more like it. To refuse an offer from redhat in the climate we had 6 months ago, and could expect for some years to come, was stupid. For Caldera to shit on Open Source, which was their only gravy train was equally stupid. Let them both rest in peace.
Most apartment complexes I have ever seen have enough problems preventing water leaks, and water is nowhere near as corrosive as sodium, nor as reactive if it does leak. Great idea. Lets have a fire bomb in the basement.
FBI goons play friendly while gathering evidence.
Only those things that can be used against you are considered. Where is there news here?
I have made it a point to NEVER, under any circumstances, connect to any service beyond web pages linked by their own site, without written permission of the owner, on their corporate letterhead.
Exposing security problems is considered to be a nasty evil thing. Dont do it. Let them be hacked. Do not do it yourself. If you accidently find a hole, dont access it, Dont tell others of its existance, just go on about your own business.
You, a computer knowledgable person, represent a good tasty meal for the FBI's new computer crime group. They must somehow prove their worth to congress. You provide them with opportunity by providing a community service. Dont provide it.
It has been exceedingly difficult to get mysql evaluated for use in the corporate world due to its open source nature. (yes, the "but, who do we sue? mindset...). Wars like this one will make it even more difficult. Now we have to tell our managers the DB and the transaction processing come from 2 different and warring companies, but dont worry, they will always be compatable with each other... Oh well, back to oracle for even those projects that mysql is fully capable of performing.
We did not get to the place we are with a leader. What we need to do, is continue to write, debug, improve and release code under the fearsome GPL.
If anything, faster than before.
They have shown their colors for all to see.

Adobe Backs Down

Now show yours. Protest in a way that counts. Donate time, money and/or hardware to gimp.org or to the open source Adobe software replacement of your choice.
This thing appears to be based on the design of an ice boat. The daggerboard probobly hits the water about every third wave. After sailing it, anything else would seem like kissing your sister.
The not-for-profit publications are opening up to the idea. The for-profit publications say it is a terrible idea. The database owners say it is great, as long as somebody pays for their databases. The librarians say We need a big open library. The scientists say "Sounds good, but we need to cover our asses".
Yes, the concept of a freely available archive of scientific research is a great idea. Who will provide the servers? the database software? the programmers? the bandwidth? the peer review? All of these things take money.
I would be willing to provide some of the resources needed for such an endeavor, but it is far too large for any individual to take on, and too important to trust to any individual or corporation. Are there noted scientists out there willing to do first class peer review? (as opposed to usenet flame wars) Are there people with bandwidth to spare, and the committment to provide it for years? How about > 100K$ of reliable hardware, and daily mirroring to multiple offsite storage sites?
If you want this to happen, vote with your skills and/or money and/or bandwidth, and/or real estate.
I do not know if sony is guilty as charged. Whether they are or are not, There needs to be a remedies clause attached to the gpl, that states upon a violation of the license terms, violator agree to pay to FSF and the software developer(s) all revenues from sale of said product. This payment should be 50% to FSF, and 50% to software delveloper(s). No, not all profits, as they can be adjusted to be whatever you want at the moment, but all revenues. This would greatly decrease the motivation to do so, and add some punative damages to the act. It would also accumulate to a nice gpl defense fund and pay the developers for being ripped off.

at 1.36 bogomips, will compile a 2.2 kernel in only 27 hours 13 minutes.

It must have been my imagination that hurt when I plugged that paperclip into the wall outlet.

I agree that government involvement may be a good thing. But what government? Scientific inquiry is not done exclusively in the USA.
