Odds are that you don't commute by rail. Commuting by rail has its advantages, and the magazine format coincides nicely with a hard day's use of the laptop. Especially given boot times, logins, possibly a connecting train. You get the idea.
you have both a black and red marble and you send one around the world, well when one guy checks and sees that his marble is red, the other guy instantly knows that his marble is black.
More to the point, the other guy can find out his marble is black, but only if you communicate to him that your marble was red.
You lost me...
In New York, I have a magic marble.
In Los Angeles, you have my entangled magic marble.
In New York, I check my marble and find out it's red. I thus know yours is black.
In Los Angeles, you check your marble and find out it's black. You thus know mine is red.
Are you saying that we can both check, but there's nothing useful to be done with that information? I guess to be useful, I'd have to have a set of marbles and be able to force #1 to red, #2 to red, #3 to black, #4 to red, etc. to make a communication, which you could then read in reverse on your side. This forcing is impossible...?
Given enough time for its open-source strategy to play out, Sun's market capitalization will likely recover and outpace Red Hat's.
Bwwwwwwahahahahahahaha. "Likely" if you are a Jonathan Schwartz sock puppet account. Unlikely if you've followed Sun's dismal performance for any length of time.
Go on Amazon sometime and look at DVD ratings. People write "this was an awesome book!!!1!"
Of course, people also rate something with a zero because the book arrived damaged or their marketplace seller send them an Acceptable copy when they ordered a Like New ("I'm so mad about this poor customer service I want to rate this a zero but Amazon only lets me rate it a one!" Note that there's an entirely separate rating system for sellers and customer service.)
Look at Yahoo's movie reviews...people write reviews before the movie comes out ("I can't wait to see this! I loved the book! I give it an A+!")
And of course there are people who'll rate something as one star because their kid sister likes it and it makes them mad, or rate it five stars because they have a crush on a particular star, or have some strange "I rate everything I look at as one star - to hell with 'em!" mindset, or whatever.
"I hear he's making loads consulting for Yoyodyne."
"Hmmm...(ring,ring)...hello, Bruce? This is Archie over at Gizmonics. We can't make heads or tails of this setup. Would you be willing to come back and fix it on a consulting basis? Say, $500 an hour? What's that? OK, you can expense your meals and we'll throw in a Wii."
I think about once a week I hit a page that has the Sun logo as its favicon, a telltale sign of NES.
Look for Jonathan Schwartz to write a four-paragraph blog on how this move "leverages the power of our dynamic open source global environmental network" and Sun's "innovation-intensive open ecosystem for defining new architectures and requirements for radical scale, economics and availability" and such.
Also look for Sun's stock price to continue sinking.
Sure it can. If China were to dump all of their US Treasuries on the market tomorrow, you'd see the effective interest rate jump up a couple points and they'd be sold out to other investors, likely within the same day if not within hours. There is always a demand for high-quality bonds.
Long-term US bonds are going to be unsellable internationally a year or two from now
Yeaaaaaaaahhhh...'cause you know, all the other countries in the world that sell long-term bonds have perfect economies. The interest rate paid by the U.S. Gov't might go up a little to increase demand, but people will still be buying U.S. treasuries for the foreseeable future. As in the rest of your life.
I fail to see how the first amendment does not automatically/dev/null this
Because we've adopted the notion that it doesn't mean what it says. There's nothing in the first amendment that provides exceptions for shouting fire in a crowded theater or child porn, but those of those are illegal, seemingly in contravention of its simple words.
Once you leave the law to the interpretation of the courts, you open yourself up to all sorts of nonsense. Banning "obscene" speech is perfectly legal...as long as a court says that's what the first amendment means.
No, the GPL just presumes to attempt to restrict what I do with my code that has no GPL code in it. Which is within their rights, but thoroughly corrupt and domineering of them.
Which makes sense, as Stallman is the ugliest type of human being--the zealot.
...this is what Ask Slashdot has been reduced to? Asking how a rather small change to a weekly schedule might work out?
Future Ask Slashdots We Can Look Forward To:
"I'm thinking of switching from a soft toothbrush to a medium-soft. How has that worked out for you?"
"I'm considering moving my sock drawer from the top right to the top left drawer. Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of each arrangement?
"We're moving to a new home and are having a family meeting this Thursday to evaluate hanging toilet paper so that the next sheet is over versus under on the roll. I was wondering how other readers have approached this decision?"
"I'd like to set my USB to automount to a fixed drive letter when I plug it into my Windows XP laptop. I'm considering J:, P:, and possibly Q:. What do you all think? Should I look at M: as well?"
Another possiblity is for McDonald's to buy SCO and then lhave the POS software ported to another platform. There are many, and Solaris might be the winner there.
I truly cannot think of any reason one would choose Solaris over Linux for this application.
SCO has several POS installations. The biggest complaint I heard from my coworkers that has sco experience when I was a unix admin was rebuilding the kernel. Apparently, you had to use some sort of linker to add drivers to the kernel.
Well, then, they're just going to love make menuconfig!

Other than a decrease in wind speed what hazards are these?

While we're at it, how about removing all posts with run-on sentences, incorrect punctuation, and lack of proper capitalization of the site's name?
The battle is on for Silverlight/Moonlight vs Flash, and XPS vs PDF.
I suspect most people reading this had to look up what an "XPS" document was.
Meet Kindle, which answers all of your concerns.
Well, except that nothing I want to read is published for it. I guess I could change all of my reading habits just to be cool, though.

Maybe only YouTube bought an exemption.
There. I fixed that for you.
Listen, the story isn't that websites can set cookies. Everyone knows this is the case.
The story is that YouTube was specifically exempted from the requirements.
So the question becomes "Why would you make a specific exemption for one provider and not for an entire class of providers?"
Yeah, it's a real mystery.

The Red October relied on complicated and only partially effective baffling to minimise cavitation IIRC.
IIRC, the Red October ran primarily on fiction.

I'm not not going to point out the double negative.

Stupidity is a lot easier to prove.
"Where is old Bruce now?"
"I hear he's making loads consulting for Yoyodyne."

Questions you should be asking yourself:
...which I care about because...?
