Um, there are instances where you *want* to distribute an application across several machines, and not have to worry about the details of implementing a robust inter-process communication layer yourself. Once you get past the boilerplate code of creating an object, publishing it's reference, and locating that object, CORBA breaks down into simple function calls.
I just wish they'd create a C++ mapping that allowed for STL compliant sequences, and std::string compatibility...
They don't ban diesel vehicles. What they do is set emissions requirements that cannot be met with high sulfur (~300ppm) diesel fuel. In a year or so, ULSD (ultra low sulfur diesel, 30 ppm) will be the standard for the US, and all the cool emissions treatments that are in use in Europe today can also be used here. These emissions treatments are adversely affected by the high sulfur content in today's diesel fuel.
I'll leave the discussion on solubility of rubber (i.e. fuel lines) in biodiesel and ULSD for another post...
Wherein various new predators were introduced to control increasingly out of control predators. I think the final attempt used a 40 foot tall version of a domestic cat. I don't recall it turning out very well...
According to an estimate from SoundScan, overall sales of recorded music are down about 4.5%, if one considers 10 individual tracks the equivalent of an album.'
So, they consider it amazing that given the opportunity to buy the three songs on an album that are worth listening to more than twice, consumers are actually taking advantage of such a system? It would be interesting to do the math based on 3 or at best, 5, songs per album, since that's all most people want anyway. We've finally been given a method to bypass album filler content, without, apparently having to subsidise it, and the industry is complaining because the consumer gets what they want.
FWIW, I taught my daughter simple signs before she could speak. We figured if she could communicate the basics (food/hungry, drink/thirsty, more, finished, etc.) to us without just screaming until we figured it which she wanted, we'd all be a lot happier. So, is this pavlovian conditioning? i.e. "Make this sign, you get the 'treat'." You could look at it that way, but really, she became a much more mellow child once she learned how to communicate with us. She was happier, we were happier, it was better for everyone all around. We kept up with it as long as she was interested in learning new words/signs, progressing through "help", "up", etc. She even made up a few of her own: "snowball", and "napkin" were ones I remember her coming up with. But nothing lit her eyes up like when I taught her the sign for "baby". Here was a way she could refer to herself, and that knowledge clicked in her like nothing I've ever seen before or since. It's hard to describe, really.
But back to the "allegedly" lower primates: Koko, the gorilla who was taught sign language, is pretty well documented as coming up with words on her own, and expressing emotions we humans would consider "deep". Longing for a baby, for example. Is there anything inherently keeping other primates from the same "accomplishments"? I don't think so. Their natural ways probably don't require a lot of deeper communication, i.e. they don't need to express, "I say, is that a tiger sneaking up on us from behind that tree?" It's sufficient for their purposes to have an expression for "DANGER!" Koko, having lived in an environment where deeper communication was encouraged, apparently has a lot more to say...
If you check your internet cache carefully after playing the HHGttG text mode game from the Douglas Adams website, you can snag the data file (something.z5) for the game. Archive file for posterity, and play using any of your favourite zcode emulators.
As far as Shogun? Apparently you're not missing anything. Really. Don't bother. It was apparently *that* bad.
For certain purposes, they're great. Say, for example, when Hurricane Isabel tore through a couple of years ago, and left my neighborhood without electricity for a week. Broadcast TV on a handheld unit was great for keeping informed about what was going on in the outside world.
Personally, I'm kind of glad we're all not wandering around like stoned zombies ingesting whatever's being fed to us via the Tube...
Slashdot Mirror
Give us a hint as to what it is, and why should care about it. Preferably with no unexpanded acronyms.
Not even as shiny as NetBEUI. LANtastic, if it matters. Wireshark barely even recognizes the custom EthernetII protocol.
And although TCP/IP is older, it s fairly well supported today.
If you don't call it HP-IB, it ain't that old...
Do we work together?
I work with a system that uses NetBIOS networking on DOS. And not that fancy NetBIOS over TCP/IP, either.
I saw a documentary about this decades ago. Or maybe it was a Cheech and Chong movie, it's hard to tell...
Agreed.

The tweezers in question are encrusted with "Zircon", and not Zirconium, as alleged.
1. Attack the US.
2. ???
3. Profit!

Oh, come on. Even "The End" by The Doors was two takes spliced together in the middle. Was that cheating?

Salmon is more orange that this. This is more mauve.

Well, no, not really.

Go read the supporting opinion for Bush v. Gore and get back to us on this assertion.
To this day, he has no idea how Mark "Deep Throat" Felt sent messages to him in his morning paper.
