Why would it be a loss of a customer? You direct-dial like you would have in the past, but instead of being connected directly an operator confirms that you intended to make the call. You are charged direct-dial rates, not operator assisted rates.
No, no, in Canada the gallons are Imperial, which is 160 Imperial oz (28.41 mL/Imp oz) or 4.546 L, compared with a US gallon being 128 US oz (29.57 mL/US oz) or 3.785 L.
More importantly, we drink beer in Imperial pints (1/8 Imp gal, or 20 Imp oz) which is 568 mL verses a US pint (1/8 US gal, or 16 US oz) which is 473 mL.
You're the one who doesn't know what he was talking about. He literally described using machine tools to make 1/2-size versions of themselves, then using those ones to make 1/2-size versions of them, and so on. He then argued about the scale down to which you could do that.
Why would you assume it is the radio waves? Maybe the effect is caused by some property of the audio. For example, lag. For example end-to-end echo. Have they done the test where they simulate the digital audio exactly but with wired connections to prove or disprove the radio link?
You must not have tried to partition the drive and leave the first partition empty...Windows will install on the first empty one, then you install Linux with a boot loader....
The real problem with compulsory license is: where is the competition in the fee market? Although there may be competition among musicians and the're promoters for a larger piece of the pie created by the compulsory licence, what creates the market for that compulsory license fee to be driven down? How does that whole industry, whose total net income would then be determined by legislation and regulation, compete with other industries? Or rather, the reverse? How does the auto industry compete with the music industry when the music industry is guaranteed a piece of the consumers' "disposable" income?
Don't you find it funny that when they give you the "monkey" picture it is really a picture of a chimpanzee. So an intelligent human will fail that test if they answer the question honestly.
In your estimate for OSS you allocated 0.1 FTE to keeping active on a mailing list, keeping familiar with the product, etc. You then said this was 3 times the cost of a support contract. What you failed to include was how much of an FTE was devoted to having an internal person be able to call commercial support and obtain proper support.
When you call Oracle or any vendor for support, in general it is not like some manager can call them in and have them access the system and fix the problem. A technical person calls them, gives them info, performs actions at their suggestion, etc. That technical person needs to have the skill sto do that against the product. in other words they probably have to invest that same 0.1 FTE to be prepared to call commercial support.
Therefore it is not 0.1 FTE verses 1 support contract, it is 0.1 FTE verses 1 support contract plus 0.05 or 0.08 or 0.1 FTE.
Short range FM broadcast?

Do any of these come with short range FM broadcast for easy coupling to your car stereo?
But what about 3-dimensional interpolation? There are two dimensions to the negative but the third is the series of images from a scene. If there is any motion in the scene, then successive images can give other "pixelizations" of the same or very similar image. I quote pixelization because for film it is granuals that are not rectilinear. There is extra x-y information embedded in the time-dimension of the film.
Not sure about any rules, but the restored Lawrence of Arabia is 222 minutes. It was in limited release in theatres when it was restored. When I saw it, it was shown with an intermission (10-20 minutes? can't recall).
Interesting. In Canada, officers of the court (lawyers, judges) and their families are exempt from jury duty. Now, I don't know if they are also prevented from it.
No! JFS is a good filesystem but it does not do data journalling, only metadata journalling. It is left to the application to do data journalling (like an RDBMS doing transaction logging).
Try Sajeev's homepage and read about Photon Localization and Photon Band Gaps. He invented the theory that in certain disordered systems band gaps can exist for light, meaning that it does not propagate and is trapped/localized. Prof. John was on my thesis committee but my work was on other stuff.
So that's what they call it. I wrote the numerical analysis code for my thesis research on a Kendall Square Research KSR-1; 32 nodes 20MHz each (yeah!), 32 MB each, UNIX derivative OS with Posix threads (Mutex's, barriers, thread-private/public data). You treated it like an SMP with the additional knowledge that memory access had an affinity for the processor.
KSR went under, as I recall, but I always wondered what happened with the technique. Now I know that it is NUMA!
I'm surprised Jon hasn't made the parallel between on-line behaviour and behavior driving cars; I suppose it doesn't fit the thesis.
I see a perfect parallel. Both on-line communication and cars put up barriers to normal inter-personal communication which uses non-verbal cues. Both cases make the person on the other side seem less human, thus less deserving of civility.
As well, the physical distance and the "leveling" of both situations (in a car, I can injure you just as easily as you can injure me; in an on-line exchange, I can insult you just as easily as you can insult me) seems to bring out more agressive behaviour.
Thus we see flame wars and road rage. Same phenomenon in my eyes.
The word cyclotron has been used for decades for a particular type of charged particle accelerator. Don't know about using for a multiaxis gimbal (sp?) system.

Yes, but you'd have to tune into the BBQ Channel exclusively until your dinner was cooked. Mind you, if you have pciture-in-picture...
Even better, sue them for not having an EAP that helped you with your problem!

What could be simpler?
You don't understand quantum mechanics *or* the Heisenberg uncertainty principal. Do you know what a conjugate variable is?

Lightweight? Hah! Who needs pixellated wm's when you can have screen! All ASCII, all the time! And detachable sessions. Who could ask for more?

Doesn't Informix's DB engine also scale from embedded app size to TB size for Enterprise apps?
