Don't blame them. We don't place enough value in real science. Who dedicates up to a decade of sweat and study to make less than a taxi driver? They have bills to pay. Oil companies buy whores; film at 11. I just can't figure out who is paying the 'pro global warming ones'. Terrorists?
More like lowered expectations. People that want or have to use windows/mac/linux/... bicker endlessly about how much better/worse each is, while ignoring that they are all crappy. Jonathan Schwartz quipped the other day about using google maps on a blackberry pearl "The grace with which it works comes close to a religious experience". I wonder if RIM would consider making a desktop sized pearl?
More likely the ghost of Mr Wilson... An 'Old government of Canada' used to defer processing returns until after budget delivery [ especially in election years ] to make its performance look better. A few months later, when the budget had to be restated, nobody was noticing. In 1992 [ Wilsons last kick at the can ] it was billions. Same tactic, new scapegoat.
Well, I remember a number of problems in trying to "be" posix using a microkernel architecture came from 'happens to' concepts in UNIX. 'Happens to' is the easiest way to explain controlling terminals, job control, etc. The way these mechanisms work, requires the Device, Process and FileDescriptor Services to be in intimate contact with each other. Not the end of the world, but a very complicated interaction. Since job control wasn't originally considered in the design, we could never really retrofit it in. Too much hidden or lost information.
If we had one large "UNIX" process (ala MACH?), it would be simple, you just peek into the data structures of the necessary service; but running UNIX in user mode under a kernel isn't really much of an architectural shift, besides MERT did it in the 70s.
Although not flashy, as a developer, the best part of a micro kernel was using the same machine for compiling and testing - device drivers, file systems and such. Occasionally you would muck up the machine and need a reboot, but rarely. Having your console driver unable to rewrite your page tables does have some advantages.
google.com provides a service where you can search for various things, either in isolation or combination as you see fit. You can often find multiple answers to queries, and average the results to some extent.... $5 is the "low volume" IP cost; high volume products approach half that.
It is amazing that a "Royale with Cheese" can be ripped, shipped and flipped for less than a dollar, yet a 60g cd, which is more compact, requires less handling, and more-or-less "keeps", seems to cost so much more...
The retail price of a CD includes the money siphoned in the distribution channel. The IP value of a CD (performer + composer + producer) is about $5, the residual is marketting + distribution. Apparently CDs follow the movie industry model of loading the cost into the distribution channel, where it is safe from the grubby hands of artists. These essentially free distribution channels are a direct threat to this model. Being able select individual tracks permits you to pay only for the oats, leaving the turd on the road; thus killing another well established profit model.

Dictionary.com disagrees with you - it is entirely possible to recognize something as propaganda which you inherently like or agree with. For example, I think global warming is the major crisis of our (and likely many subsequent generations) time. I recognize most claims linking events with global warming are every bit as much propaganda as the claims no such crisis exists are, or the even more bizarre claims that it has nothing to do with us. These are Public Relations wars, being financed and executed on behalf of various interests.
Isn't the question a bit odd? It would be surprising if racism still prevailed where public attention is required; but the back-room boys will be the last place enlightenment conquers. It should be more like "Has IT hiring caught up to 20th Century standards yet?", or somesuch.
I even liked them when they were called newsgroups. There is a legend about a stockbroker getting out of the Market in the 1920s because his shoeshine boy was giving him stock tips. Similarly, when the WSJ is writing about the social impact of 'blogs, the writing is on the wall.
if you colour the outer edge of your DVDs with green crayon, the ones and zeroes stand out more, vastly improving the experience. I've heard if you colour the whole disc, it approaches the warmth of VHS.
I have been too lazy to work out the thermo equations (ok, too stupid), but had been contemplating avariation of your chiller. I have an unused well under my property, and was considering pumping water from it onto my roof to cool the house on hot days. Jet pumps are pretty efficient, and I figured I could redirect the downspouts to the well head to ensure what didn't evaporate partially closed the loop. Silly? Impossible? I hoped the cool roof would result in a current cooling the entire house.

They will be able to combine forces of market growth and technological innovation to leapfrog the existing solutions. I once worked for Sun.

how did this offensive drivel get 4:Informative? By 'non-ethnocentric americans'?
Transport Canada (who were responsible for Airports at the time) used to call them "cable finders".

yes, please don't come here. It's cold and smells bad too.
Why is an 'agenda' relevant?
They are willing to pay people to improve an already useful tool and turn the results back into the public domain.
You transcribed it wrong, the case 0 should be:
case 0: do { *to++ = *from++;

Does the 'data driven music' work as a soundtrack to Wizard of OZ?
Dare to dream. This is the greatest opportunity to rewrite working code since Y2K! Remember BWM's as signing-bonuses? repeat history() until learned;
I agree; although I had hoped for pictures of her joining the 300 club.
