do you want to do that? I don't... Knoppix is much further than debian stable, so knoppix will do for me. I prefer somewhat stable hardware.

What You Can't Say

The problem with weird opinions is that they are generally not simple ideas. So these complexe ideas, which need complex explanations, are too hard to explain to most people.
Second problem is that these ideas have to compete with really stupid complex ideas.
The real question therefore becomes: how can one determine if an idea is valid, partially valid or if the "direction" of the idea is valid.
like with gliders... so data can be logged and analysed. It has the size of a pack of sigarettes (needs 12V/100mA though). The loggers have digital signatures and they can't be tampered with (ok, you could feed an HF gps signal in there but that is stretching it).
Need I add that I have the "feeling" that my hardware lasts longer with Linux. I still need a fast computer for OOo, but my duron 850/512MB works like a charm.
Suppose there is an algorithm to obtain two primes from their multiplied form (not patentable). Now suppose someone found code that could do that x times faster. I guess that would be patentable under these terms.
Good tips, so far. What I've done is to make a priority list which is really short.
1. Finish masters thesis 2. Ensure that there is no #3.
This will make it really easy to decide what to do. You either work, eat, sleap or take a break. TAKE BREAKS! This is necessary to do some real work.
I've been able to work for 6 weeks 80+ hrs/week without a mental breakdown. The most important thing was that IF I wanted to so something, I was at least at the right place. You can decide that you will do two weeks of this and have one week of party if you think you won't hack this.
So, I did do a lot of surfing. However, I still made 8 working hours a day. My agenda:
-8.30 get up -9.45 be at university -12.00 lunch -13.00 thesis again -18.00 food -20.00 thesis again -24.00 leave university & wind down for sleep -24.30 be in bed
The only good excuse to not be at university: excercise.
I don't know what mailinglists you choose... On debian-user I've never heard rtfm or something. I even tried googling on it but I was not very succesfull.
My personal opinion is that, especially on newbie lists, if you can't contribute positively then you should shut up. Often my posts mention the part of the manual that could have been read with the relevant part copied in the post. I only do this "handholding" because I want to know too...
with the Christmas lectures is the following approach. They choose a certain general topic (such as time, symmetry, processors). Then they skip the formula's, instead they try to explain the principles with simple experiments. Even impossible science and technology becomes understandable _because_ there are no formulas. However, you need to think better on how to present this.
NO FORMULAS, try and see if the talk is still interesting.
Yes, but from a big semiconductor company? Not that I think he is right though...
Suppose that computers could act as people. That would be fairly advanced, right? And adaptive, right? Then you should ask yourself the question if you want a servant around 24/7. Not only that, even servants get stuff wrong. Besides that, we are nowhere near building such a thing...

no, they go to Suns. Gives a Sun-burn a whole new meaning.

My two cents...

Brothers older model 760 performs like a charm too.
I would consider that more dangerous than a nailclipper...
Technically or marketingwise?
-Technically: no
-Marketingwise: their efforts may stall Linux conversion.
I can remember a scsi unit from 93...
Thanks, I didn't notice that pattern yet. I'll have to check out groklaw now...
Or even better: draw a letter in the air.
Gravity sensors do not use that much energy. Processing those sensors data should be pretty trivial.
Software wise, hooking in those controls, can be difficult (maybe?).

This describes the absurd boundary conditions given. Nobody smart will participate.
I think this means something different.

This should be on a t-shirt. Definately suck-up points there...

Are you saying that you're lying? :-)

These days, slashdotters get slashdotted with SCO news.

I don't know if this is global, but in the Netherlands a database _IS_ copyrightable.
