OpenSolaris is not the same as Solaris. Yes, there are still the gory details left. But there is already a closed "beta test", and the license will be OSI compliant.
That still leaves plenty of room for a bizarro license that is incompatible with the Big Five: BSD, X, MIT, GPL, LGPL. Anything not released under one of these is only a curiosity at best. If anything, it would be a net loss for Linux and BSD developers who may have to fall all over themselves in a future court court proving they never looked at Sun's precious.
Mine heats up inside of two minutes to toasty temperatures. Gotta love small-block V8s.:)
Maybe it helps if the V8 in question is cooled by a small radiator. I tool around in an old Crown Vic PI and I'm in the halfway-to-work-with-no-heat boat myself.
These meters would actually measure the voltage and amperage drained from batteries while they are in use. This aspect of the tech is very straightforward and we've known how to do it for over a century.
The laptop meters you're thinking guestimate a percentage of charge left. The meters we're thinking of are more like the ones on the side of your house. They don't care what you are using in the house or what condition the generating station is in. They simply measure the amount of energy that has passed through them.
It is a well known bug. The fix is in the current gecko devel tree. The quick workaround is to hit ctrl- followed by ctrl+. The shrinks then expands the text on the screen. It also causes the text to reflow correctly.
PC forces us all to use convoluted speech for any number ethic/financial/demographic/physical conditions. It's stupid enough as it is. I absolutely refuse to give PC lovin' to people who take a TV show too seriously. Trekkies who insist on "Trekkers" need to "get a life."
Is that a howl of protest I hear?..... Trekkies, TREKKIES, Trekeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzeeeeee!
Tell me something. WTF! did I buy with my money? While I'm at it all the commercials for DVDs say "Own it Today!" So again, WTF!?!? am I buying here. I own an entire spindle of blank CDRs so I don't think that is what they are trying to get me excited about is it?
Tell me something else. Where is the "compromise" in using something I PAID FOR to jam 15 minutes of commercials down my throat whether I want it or not.
I'll tell YOU something while I'm at it. This "contract" and "license" shit for goods I've purchased cuts zero ice with me. If there is anything I'm not going to put up with, it's a weaselly little contract attached to everything I buy from the store. That is a really nice way to deprive someone of their rights. Just stick a fuckin' contract on everything you buy from the store. Don't share copies with someone else? Fine. But I can and will make full use of what I've paid for. And I don't care how many senators Disney has "compromised". Don't bother answering my other question, I think I figured out where the "compromise" is.
There are zero ethical or moral considerations with me taking something I OWN and altering it for my PERSONAL use. Before copyright law was perverted by whores like Hatch, it agreed with me. That is something else I won't respect: laws that have been bought and paid for. If taking every one of Hatch's xxAA fantasies up the ass is "growing up" then fuck it.
The power to destroy a thing grants only the power to influence the people who value that thing, and only as far as they value it.
In it's proper context, the quote applied to "the spice". The sand the ability to destroy all of tpice was supremely valued and could only be acquired from one place. Since a group of rebels had the power to destroy the spice, they had the ability to hold those who supremely valued it (the Guild) hostage.
That sort of control isn't something that can be had in general. It requires scarcity, specificity, and the thing to be destroyed must be supremely valued by those you would control.
All of that will only serve to delay the brain drain not prevent it. The places on Earth where innovation is still possible will be the ones with growing economies. The grandparent is right. The West will rot in IP filth.
My favorite method is an electric chair where the switch has been replaced with a dimmer dial. The dial should be clearly marked where probable fatality starts of course.
Adblock doesn't use a hosts file. It uses a list of regular expressions to filter on URLs. You don't have to compose the list of regexps yourself. You can download them from others.
In short, your brains get turned into freezer burned sweetbread. Both the inter- and intra-cellular fluids in your brain will form jagged crystals as they freeze. These crystals will shred cell walls and other tissue structures. The cryogenics companies claim to be able to combat this by draining the fluids from your body and replacing them with an antifreeze. This simply doesn't work yet. The procedure must completely flush and freeze the body almost instantly before brain-death occurs. Similiarly, it must be possible to thaw and replace the bodily fluids just as instantly.
I'm not saying it's impossible but the tech simply isn't here yet.
Name one book to movie conversion that wasn't a disappointment to someone who read the book previously.
Stand By Me and Shawshank Redemption were both based on Stephen King novellas. Stand By Me is an almost letter perfect adaptation of "The Body". There were some deviations in Shawshank Redemption but they were tolerable and weren't total "re-imaginings" of the essential story. The mere mention of Harry Potter does seem to shut some minds down but those movies are faithful to their source material. Come to think of it, The Andromeda Strain was also a good adaptation and a rare example of good cinematic sci-fi.
Nonethess, I agree with you. Most book to movie adaptations go beyond what is necessary to bring a detailed novel to a two hour movie. 9 times out 10, the story will be cheapened so that all the tired Hollywood cliches can be crammed into what could have been a good movie. Even worse, you have things like I Robot which have almost nothing to do with the books they come from. I Robot was originally to be called Livewire and had some character names from I Robot grafted onto it so they could rape Asimov's corpse for a few extra bucks.
These USB devices work well enough. There are two gotchas. The first is that these devices tend to be samplerate locked at either 48 or 96 Khz. If they work at other rates in Windows, it is because the drivers are dithering down in software. The Linux snd-usb drivers don't do that. The second gotcha is that many of these devices need a firmware blob beamed into them before they start working. The windows "driver" has the blob and the facilities to send it to the device. These will work under Linux as well but you may have to find that firmware somewhere.
There is one small point you are missing. "Java Desktop System" is a marketing ploy. For the most part, it is a Gnome desktop running on an obsolete version of Suse with a few Java desktop toys thrown in to justify the name. What they intend to do at some point is replace the Suse backend bits with Solaris. Either way, there is very little Java in the Java Desktop System.
Incidentally, if WORA is the point of Sun maintaining control of Java then that battle was lost a long time ago. Leaving MS' naughtiness out of this entirely, there are all sorts of Java applications that "cheat" and use features of the underlying environment. Java is just another developer choice now. They blew it with WORA a long time ago.
GPL, LPL, BSD, X11, MIT.... It's all good. I think it'd be news if Sun was seriously considering any of those. In the end, that will be too much to expect. I think a SISSL type license is far more likely. That would be less than a good thing as well. Linux and BSD devs might have to fall all over themselves in a future court case proving a negative: that they never were exposed to Sun's "Open Source" code.
I think the most interesting thing they could do is pick the LGPL. The license is incompatible with both Linux' and the BSD's licenses but it still prevents competitors from directly co-opting the code under different terms. It also doesn't create doubts for proprietary bundling although even in the case of the pure GPL, bashers overstate the extent to which the GPL can "viralize" your hard earned "intellectual property".
The blurred out woo-woo is a riot. That's what I love about Japanese porn. Twats and penetration are out but you can show all of the gushing feces and poop eating you want.
The SP2 blocker doesn't seem to have an exception list. It's either all the way on or all the way off. It is of no help whatsoever if you use legitimate sites or web apps that employ pop-ups.
A quick ctrl+ followed by ctrl- will reflow Slashdot pages. This doesn't reload the page, it sizes the text up then right back down where you put it. The text flows as it should when you do this. If you have decently recent machine, you can even do it as a quick tap-tap.
The fix for this is in the current devel branch of Gecko. The next releases of Firefox and Mozilla will have the fix.
Burn the waste in breeder reactors and you have much less to deal with. Also, there has been plenty of thought given to waste disposal. Some form of subduction zone disposal makes a lot of sense. The Earth's interior heat is largely from radioactive decay anyway. The research simply needs to be done and implemented without a bunch of NIMBY hippies shouting down efforts to address the downsides. The word nuclear is very similiar to words like RMS (hippies do less damage in some areas) and politics. They just make certain types of minds shut down.
Prior to 1988 or so, I don't think Unix was much better than Windows is now. It was primarily used in corporate and academic environments where a certain level of user clue and maturity could be counted on. It was the Morris worm that caused everyone to re-think UNIX security. However that still gives the UNIX world at least a 12 year head start in thinking about these issues.

Well, I suppose you could talk about the cinematic splendour of Steven King adaptions.
I wasn't commenting on the grand nature of the original books. I was only pointing out that the movies made from them were faithful to the books.
