Let's put an insecure OS on a beautiful machine and see if we can break it. Of course, this is only a lead in to making software that will be put on a CD to destroy a system if left in the CD drive and the user is told it will do something positive to their machine. OK, it will require social engineering and a upset worker in a software company to put this on a CD. OK, there are no IT people that get upset at company they work for. What was I thinking...
...makes as much sense as to call the television a Mormon invention. The inventor Philo Farnsworth did this in 1927 and was LDS (Mormon).
Extract from about.com: Philo Farnsworth attended Brigham Young University in Utah, where he researched television picture transmission. While in high school, Philo Farnsworth had already conceived of his ideas for television. In 1926, he cofounded Crocker Research Laboratories, which he later renamed Farnsworth Television, Inc. in 1929 (and as Farnsworth Radio and Television Corporation in 1938.)
In 1927, Philo Farnsworth was the first inventor to transmit a television image comprised of 60 horizontal lines. The image transmitted was a dollar sign. Farnsworth developed the dissector tube, the basis of all current electronic televisions. He filed for his first television patent in 1927 (pat#1,773,980.) Although he won an early patent for his image dissection tube, he lost later patent battles to RCA. Philo Farnsworth went on to invent over 165 different devices including equipment for converting an optical image into an electrical signal, amplifier, cathode-ray, vacuum tubes, electrical scanners, electron multipliers and photoelectric materials.
After repairing other peoples computers for years, I switched to mac, so I could do video editing without having to resinstall the software/deal with system crashes/BSoD/etc... My wife was so impressed that she insisted that she get a mac too. Even an older 500Mhz G3 has made her happy, it's not that fast, but she saves time by not having to reboot, deal with crashes, etc. Now we have 2 Linux boxes, 3 macs, and 2 pc's (for the kids games).
Followed a year later by a Ace Franklin 1000 in kit form. I had saved up to buy the parts at a HamFest and had a keyboard seperate from the case which made the machine real cool while I was in HS/College.
A lot of coal fields in the USA contain coal fire areas. The federal Office of Surface Mining (OSM) manages a data base (Abandoned Mine Land Inventory System, AMLIS) that registered 150 fires in the year 1999. Coal fires are not only in Kentucky, Pennsylvania and West Virgina east of the Appalachian coal field, but also Colorado in the Rocky Mountains.
In Pennsylvania 45 coal fires exist. One of them is the Centralia pit fire, located in the anthracite coal region in Columbia County. It can be assumed that the seam ignited when trash was burned in an old open pit. The fire in the open pit caught an exposed vein of coal seam on fire. Since 1962 a subsurface fire spreads under the town. A series of measures were implemented to stop the coal fire but in the end the town had to be evacuated because of land-subsidence, air pollution and water contamination.
From TFA: 'At the core of the new power held by phone and cable companies are tools delivering what is known as "deep packet inspection." With these tools, AT&T and others can readily know the packets of information you are receiving online--from e-mail, to websites, to sharing of music, video and software downloads.'
Doesn't this deep packet inspection violate privacy laws? Obviously, I am not an attorney, but it seems illegal on the surface. What do the experts say about this?
That is essentially what this lawsuit is about. When it goes to court, I would be surprised if the jury assigns less that 90% fault to the idiot who cranked up the volume. It is now common knowledge that if you have high volume on any device, you will damage your hearing. My 7 year-olds even know that!
However, our courts to punish companies, because they, typically, have deep pockets. I would not be surprised to see that Apple and many of other manufacturers are going to be forced to take nicely packaged products and nice looking products and make them ugly with big orange permenant labels that indicate what all intelligent people know.
"The keyboard is in production. The first lot is set to arrive on May 15.
Retail price of Optimus mini three is $100 (subject to change after April 2).
The keyboard will be available for pre-order this week."
So, I guess, the question remains where did $300 amount come from?
However, the inside is not all that I would have hoped for. According to the article the specs are not just up to the Powermac G5. The concern of myself and many other mac users is the Photoshop/Illustrator/Final Cut/Shake performance. I know that I am not the only mac user out here that prchased a mac over a PC for graphics and video editing. I don't think I'll move over to the intel just yet. I'll wait until rosetta is faster or apps are moved to native intel. We shall see where things are in a couple of years.
Bingo! You hit the nail on the head. Support and the ability to hide/bury/dispose of the source code is important and worth the money spent. The open source nature the other side of the software has provides faster development and vetting of errors faster (typically) than closed source software.
As for the cost, often the gov't goes to extremes to keep the cost low even while maintaining certain specs to ensure safety and reliability of equipent in harsh environments. I work in the Aquisition field and understand the reasons why somethings seems to be far too costly at face value. Yes, in the past there have been people skimming off the top and pocketing some money, however the way aquisition occurs now, that has been minimized if not eliminated. Oh, and yes, some items still appear to cost too much, until you find out the specs that must be met and you learn that some companies that sell to the gov't make very small margins of profit just to have a contract that may last ten years or so to ensure a steady source of income.
When an apple falls form the tree and is left in the sun for a time, the apple rots. I suspect that the cojoined company might have been refered to, if only by the users, a rotten apple.
Aren't there a lot more servers on the internet serving various services, such as www, ftp, mail, dns than windows machines? I am little confused on NASA's arguments.
I understand that most open source is written by people who care and are either college students or white collar workers who have time either at work (employer consenting), or at home if they have little family life.
But, I think a little squirt of the green will help to encourage those who permit this behaviour of the programmers to feel a little bit better and increase the likelyhood of permitting if not encourage such behaviour in the future.

The Living Universe Foundation http://www.luf.org/index.html in the 1990's were tracking the work being conducted in the field of OTEC's. Some experiments were conducted off the coast of Cuba in the 1960's and they found it took more energy to run the pumps than were generated by the thermal gradients of the ocean.
The University of Hawaii (I believe) were trying some different techniques to achieve a positive energy efficiency, by using a closed-cycle system and alternative fluids such as ammonia. In 1979, they were able to achieve a positive efficiency, however the cost of the system and environmental/safety concerns of using ammonia proved the system to be more expensive than using fossil fuels.

I just wanna know which one won't crash! Is it Vista Linux?

Yes, this country needs tort reform!

What I got from the obfuscated article, that Jaron wrote, is that he has sour grapes since VR didn't take off and he didn't get rich.
Yeah, now all the geeks will know who he is now. Of course, many have to remove their faces from Justins body. :-P

OK, so Novell owns it, and SCO wants it. SCO is sueing Novell for not giving up the copywrite in a contract that said that Novell keeps the copywrite.
