if people are still paying, they're going to realize that they might as well pay for the closed source game, which, at least at the moment, has far outpaced the open source efforts
that's not to say that they shouldn't be appluaded for their work though.
I fail to see why this is any more important than an ordinary HDTV tuner. The fact that it runs on linux doesn't overcome the obstacles HDTV is currently facing; its not reason enough to convince me to purchase one.
If someone could convince Bush that laws like these are actually hurting corporations, instead of helping it, you might find support from an unlikely source. It couldn't hurt to send of letters to him too. He might be concerned if his home state could be threatened (although he should be equally concerned about the country as a whole)
I believe that this will turn out to be a success. Despite the short lifespan of the original service, the satellite phones found their way to some places that clearly found them useful. I can recall listening to an international report on NPR where the correspondant called home using a Satellite phone. The new approach this company has sounds more sound, as it builds a strong customer base in those markets where satellite phone services are most useful. Much better than watching the whole thing burn up.
Yet another step clearing the way for a more international identity.
I wish they better described the suit he's going to be wearing. If he's really diving from that high up, he's going to be experiencing some severe atmospheric friction on the way down. It would be highly unlpleasnt if he started burning before he set his record.
It sounds exhilarating to break the sound barrier without a vehicle of some type.
technically, a mole can also refer to atoms. One mole is 6.23 x 10^23 atoms, or molecules if you prefer.
At any rate, I don't believe it is the size of the polymers that makes them special, but the many ways in which they can be created and arranged that gives us such a strong tool set to create with. The actual substance of the polymer, its length, and the way its atoms are organized all contribute to a final polymer that is nearly infinitely configurable. And it is there, that its strength lies.
Fusion, in one form or another may be the next source of clean energy. They've already perfected the process enough to get out of the system as much energy as they put in in Japan. It might not be ready on an industrial scale yet, but its on its way. I see no reason to discount something as important a a new superconductor so quickly (as the story implies) before it has had its chance to flourish. At any rate, its not a waste.
You aren't the type of person this software is designed for. I'm merely saying that its presence, for better or for worse, is indicative of a larger problem that exists regarding the patching of security holes and such. As you clearly have no need for such a feature, by all means, go ahead and disable it.
Hopefully the presence of this software will help those people that haven't been actively maintaining their systems realize that this is something they should take more seriously.
The mere presence of a feature like this should be a warning sign to sys admins that something is not right. There shouldn't be a need for a 5 minute interval, but neither should there be a need for such a program at all. By not patching software, it becomes dangerous to the security of the system, and if such annoying software is needed to get that message across, its a good piece of software indeed.
...so simple nobody is doing it. If sys admins don't like this new feature from MS, perhaps they should go back to serious patching of their machines. Otherwise, someone else will be there to do it for them
And when people realize that perhaps faster RAM instead of higher clock speed makes MS word run faster, you think that they will turn down the opportunity for more speed?
Huh? so many worlds, many operating systems, and many exploits is better than one exploit?
If sys admins have their hands full taking care of just one OS, imagine the exponential number of exploits and necessary patches many operating systems would require. I fail to see how fewer exploits is worse than many exploits. I don't buy the argument that there's obscurity through diversity here either; an exploit is an exploit is an exploit, plain and simple.
So it's more important to risk letting security lapse by missing an important MS update (which is very real and possible, especially since so many are released), in order to shut off an annoyance.
Priorities?
Eventually, we'll need some type of new way of manipulating subatomic structures to make increasingly smaller transistors. The technology is starting to catch up with the raw science a bit; time to get experimenting!

at any rate, those satellites are much better off in space where they belong. I fear MIR has lived out its useful life.

That still doesn't show how multiple exploits are better than one. I don't think that's the most apt of analogies you could have chosen.
