Whooosh. The GP simply meant that CA Cert has no money whereas Verisign et al. all have big pockets and probably share that with Mozilla. Whether or not this is true or if there is an actual technical reason, I have no clue. However, that was his/her point.
250 GB / 31 days =~ 8 GB/day. According to this site mentioned elsewhere in the thread, a two hour SD show is about 1.8GB and HD is 3GB. So, that yields 0.9GB to 1.5GB per hour. That's roughly 5 - 9 hours of Netflix a day, depending on quality.
We should be able to stay within that without much trouble. YMMV. -l
It was fantasy until Lucas dropped in those irritating midichloridians. FTN. Star Wars was better as a hippie pipe dream blend of classic film, new age religion, and space drama. Making it more realistic just detracted from it.
Two, Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers.
Three: If you graph the numbers of any system, patterns emerge. Therefore, there are patterns everywhere in nature.
Evidence: The cycling of disease epidemics;the wax and wane of caribou populations; sun spot cycles; the rise and fall of the Nile. So, what about the stock market? The universe of numbers that represents the global economy. Millions of hands at work, billions of minds. A vast network, screaming with life. An organism. A natural organism. My hypothesis: Within the stock market, there is a pattern as well... Right in front of me... hiding behind the numbers. Always has been.
Yep. Wish they hadn't lost all their archives. BTW, Columbine was apparently 4/20/1999, though I always think it was 1998, too. (Thanks to Wikipedia for clearing that up for me). The Waybackmachine is helpful for reminiscing but only goes so far...
I could've had a sub-1000 user account. I just didn't think they'd catch on at them time. Heh. -l
The AT&T numbers will suffer somewhat due to Uverse (VDSL) and regular DSL being sold at varying speeds. While I like the idea of 18-24Mbps, I can't reasonably afford it at this time.
Hahaha even Texas has free public schools for the deaf. Of course, if you check into the hospital here and you're not visibly gushing blood or something the first thing they ask you for is insurance or a credit card...
I don't care about looking like a dork but bionic eyes would be awesome. The major reasons I haven't considered laser surgery is I'm worried about ruining my night vision and amateur astronomy.
Or, take my stem cells and make me new eyes in the lab. That would be fine, too.
I'm sure that having the queue works great when there are a lot of people. However, what I hate is when Fry's isn't busy and they still have some chump making you wait until s/he notices that a green light is on (even though they are typically facing the WRONG direction to make such a decision!). If there isn't a line, I just avoid the queue line altogether and go to one of the registers at the end which the chump almost never sees anyway.

/No, I wouldn't cut in line in front of anyone. It's only when they are not busy that I go directly to a register.
Tell me about it. There is a Java app that runs on an old HP-UX server that I can output to my Ubuntu desktop. Oh man is that painful over the Internet. It's like "Click button, go get coffee. Click button, go get coffee."
The problem is that X applications are still grouped together. The nice thing with a user-side app is that if you're using a bunch of GUI apps hogging the CPU, a smart KDE/GNOME session daemon could tell the kernel to group them together. E.g., the app registers itself to the daemon as typically non-interactive or interactive. That way, the non-interactive stuff is grouped together and scheduled like they're under the same PTY.
$0.02USD, -l
P.s., I still think the kernel patch should go in just for sane defaulting. But the GNOME/KDE thing would be a nice improvement.
And what about audio? This sounds like a nice way to use your phone as your workstation (wigig + bluetooth) but for watching video with sound, it would be craptacular without bluetooth headphones or speakers or something.
I've also thought it would be good to be able to make use of mathematical symbols for, you know, mathematics. The same could be said of word processor-like formatting for comments. I'm dubious about using it for actual code, but I'm open to having my mind changed about that.
Yeah, I like the idea of TeX-style typing that autoparses to a "nice" display. You can edit the display or drop to TeX (or Maple or whatever) input if you need more specificity.
I'm not sure the benefit conveyed is sufficient to overcome the awkwardness (if you've ever used a Maple worksheet for programming, you'll understand what I mean), but I would like to see an editor take advantage of the beauty, even if the code itself is ASCII.
