If you want a linux system that will be up and running with the least amount of hassle, mandrake, knoppix, rh, etc are all fairly decent.
But if you're really out to LEARN linux, you want something like slackware or debian. Not as simple or hassle-free to set up, they tend to be lacking in simple GUI based setup utils. But you get a better chance to dive in and learn linux. As opposed to learning your distro.
PHP4/5 is fine to use with Apache2.0, However not all PHP extensions are thread-safe, and probably never will be. So if you use any non-default extensions, those libraries may, or may not work correctly under apache2.0
The article says that the 'flippers' tested were made from polycarbonate, a decidedly solid material. So replicating it on a larger scale isn't all that difficult.
Joe is more an editor for the kind of person who would otherwise use pico. Easy to use, simple on-screen help, not a whole lot of frills or extra learning attached to using it.

The site has many different versions of it for several platforms. And unlike that googlespam site, it doesn't try and get you to pay for something that's free.
What good is the pilot taking over if you have lost an important part of the aircraft? One accident which comes to mind happened not long after 9/11. An airbus(I believe) was taking off with a strong crosswind, misjudged his sideslip, stomped the rudder, and took off the vertical stabilizer because the rudder movement put too much force on it. It only takes a single extreme momentary control input to bring down an airliner.
The system doesnt have to be hooked up to the internet, since the communication is done via radio. Any equipment required to do so is irrelevent, as there are people with the resources to aquire identical equipment. (Especially if such a system is ever commonplace)
Ok, so you're using encryption. What happens when someone with access is offered a significant sum of money to release the keys?
No, taking over an airliner using such a system is certainly nontrivial. However, compared to the difficulty of actually hijacking, or getting a bomb onto said airliner, it's quite easy.
Mercury in metallic form isn't all that dangerous. (Wouldn't want to drink any though) It's various mercury based compounds which cause all the problems.
Speech recognition will never replace the keyboard completly.
Take any action you do on a computer. Now figure out a way to SPEAK that action, without any ambiguity. Now compare how long it takes to SAY that, with how long it takes to do via a keyboard or mouse.
Virtually every action take longer to explain than to simply DO. And the only way to have voice recognition come anywhere close is to have the computer try and guess what you mean. I don't know about anyone else, but I prefer it doing what I tell it to do, even if I occasionally make mistakes. The last thing I want is the computer misinterpreting something I said through no fault of my own.
As for simple text input, the biggest draw for voice recognition is for people who have bad or nonexistant typing skills. It is a valid issue, however it is one that as time passes becomes less and less important. Keyboard use has become ubiquitous among the young today, who will eventually push out the older people who never developed thier typing ability.
Also, can you imagine programming, or writing out abbreviations, or non-words with voice recognition?
int main left parenthesis int argc comma char asterisk asterisk argv right parenthesis left curly bracket printf left parenthesis doublequotes Hello World backslash n right parenthesis semi-colon right curly bracket
It stops most of the "Load up and cheat and go fuck with other peoples games" type players. However, the cheats are almost always ahead of the cheat protection, so there are always people(Usually the practiced, hardcore, i-cheat-to-seem-better players) who will be cheating.

Why would you have a sound card in a headless machine?
Though largely it depends on your goals.

Minix already will run on it, no porting needed.

Does MWI provide any kind of service? What do they do other than charge people $10 a month?
So how much does it cost to put an ipaq into orbit?

The article clearly states that ONE of three failed. The story posted makes it sound like the ISS is now starting to spin out of control.
1. Make shiny geek toy
2. Submit to slashdot
3. Profit!
Why would anyone want to bust a patent on popup ads?
Hell I'd contribute money to the owner of the patent, to help him collect much deserved royalties on it.
I don't see the problem in patenting things nobody wants around.
He got the integer value(32bits) of four ascii characters("1234", 8 bits each) Don't if his number is correct or not though.

iLinux?
I remember sitting in a corner, shaking violently, seeing visions of slashdot on blank monitors.
For $500, I don't see how these can be justified.
Hell, you could rig a damned $50 joystick to do the same thing.
Or the HP-95LX, of 1990...
And it's newer siblings the hp100lx, and 200lx.
All of which still have significant following.
Consisting of headlines taken from google news, and slashdot, as well as a few comic strips and forms to search several places.
PHP will probably NEVER be thread safe.
Even if PHP were 100% threadsafe, it generally uses too many libraries for it to be practical to make sure they're ALL threadsafe.
The no-seizures mode exists.
It's also called the "off" button or switch.

The late night going-to-bed-at-dawn players aren't the FPS kids. It's the people who go that far out of thier way to avoid them.
