I don't think MS can put out IE6 ads with its reputation. It can however hype up IE7/Longhorn. Or if FireFox does take a significant user share, it could backport IE7 to XP like it's done with Avalon, which was supposed to be Longhorn-only.
Here's a story with an interesting quote about NASA's hopes for senate approval:
"There is some interest in maybe trying to pass something, either as a stand-alone bill or some other vehicle, during the lame-duck session," Sponberg said during an industry day in Washington Nov. 15. "Even if that doesn't happen, I would anticipate that when the new Congress comes in early next year, we [will] probably move out pretty quickly to try to get that authorization for those larger prizes."
I would love to hear from an American astronaut what they think about increased risk. On the one hand, if you spend your life training to be one, and then you're assigned a very risky mission, you might be pushed in to going. But on the other hand, maybe they really would face enormous risk happily.
In any case there must be some that would face the danger without a second thought, the important thing is to make sure they're not pushed in to it by money or obligation.
Yes, this is about the government being scared to lose a few lives in the pursuit of humankind's advance. Lives that astronauts themselves are willing to give. So instead we spend billions on super-safe shuttles that will still end up killing people.
Yeah I liked it until that level with the swarm of little crab aliens where every room was the same. I spent two days lost in there. It's like their level designers weren't even trying.
This NASA feed is terrible. For a while they were showing the shot of SSO in space, where it only stays for three minutes. But they've been showing it for half an hour now and to make it worse they've added a "Live" label which is wrong. SSO hasn't even left White Knight yet!
"You should be more mattressy. We live quiet, retired lives in the swamp where we are content to flummop and volue and regard the wetness, in a fairly floopy manner *popopopopopopopopopopop*"
Do you mean the strange person who doesn't know if the universe really exists? I have twelve of the original radio shows.. are there six to a season or am I missing some?
When scrolling with my third-generation iPod, it won't move for a good distance, and then suddenly it scrolls by two, and then normally to the third and fourth items. Anyone else have this problem?
People who need stress put on them are the reason managers create unrealistic deadlines and tell employees they're not good enough. Put another way, these people are not self-motivating. They can't maintain a steady pace of work on their own. Their work ethic is too weak.
The article blurs the difference between what people do under occasional, warranted stress like a death in the family and continual artificial stress. People who need the latter kind need to re-evaluate themselves, people who can cope with the former are simply healthy.

You probably want a Java3D applet, which can use OpenGL or Direct3D. You can access your database from it using JDBC or just grab a flat file from a URL, and then visualize it however you want.
Now we know short term memory is linked very closely with speech, and the real limit is what you can remember verbally. Most people see about seven digits, say it in their head once, and can repeat it. If you can 'chunk' (a scientific term) your information like "eight hundred seven hundred four thousand", you can store more.
The first studies to prove this asked people to remember all sorts of information and then repeat it, and the mistakes they made were linked to what they sound like. An example would be to try to remember a list with five items. For an object like "boat", they much more often wrote down "coat" instead of "ship".
Can someone post instructions on how to get this set up with an emulator like CCS64? We don't want to have to wade through that ten page explanation on how to use a real C64, copying around floppies, etc. to check this out.

Dude if your company makes you plan your meetings out 25 years in advance you should think about a career change.
Yes because of course the limiting factor in space exploration is our lack of runways (?!)

So basically by the time we have digital scent devices we'll have something like a replicator.
Here's the video for the Centennial Challenge presentation and the PDF slides.

Which is why we should have a $1 billion prize for a moon base instead of spending over $4 billion a year just to get in to orbit.
picture a recorder that is always working and allows you to privately review what just happened in your spare moments to aid memory
Like a skrode?

You have 24 hours from when you press play. You have a month to decide when to use your 24 hours.

Well, it's at 10:30am Pacific and 1:30pm Eastern.
Anyone have backup audio links in case BBC's is overwhelmed?

Good thing I'm still using my chipset-less motherboard. It's just a bus!

VC++ 6 has this problem. It's been fixed since VS.NET (2002), so VS.NET 2003 and VS.NET 2005 are fine too.

Heh me too. I was thinking, finally the govt is putting my tax dollars to good use :-)

The kilogram is a measure of mass, not weight, and therefore does not rely on the force of gravity.
