In order to bring out the very faint detail in the B-ring, the image was specially processed for the spokes and thus does not show the true relative brightness of the other rings.
Perhaps the spokes don't show up because they're not applying those same techniques? I certainly don't see any mention of those techniques in the article in the first link.
That is likely why they would dual-license it, ala MySQL. The PHBs and the CXOs get a version that comes with Enterprise support that they pay for, and the Geeks get an open source free version that they can use that has no support.
It's being done quite successfully with MySQL, so Sun would be remiss if they didn't at least explore their options. IBM has proven that they will support open source (as it furthers their ends as well), and doing this for Java would help with their server offerings as well.
Really, I can't see how everyone won't win.
Someone has to say it...

Why didn't the executive members of these firms join the High Technology Crime Investigation Association? They already exist, and already have quite a number of members, and a lot of law enforcement are members too.
First off, I don't own an iPod - I'm basing my comment here on having a Discman. Same difference in the end - we're both listening to music.
Second off, I use my Discman, it's on the commute. I really can't say that I'm missing out on anything while sitting on the train. No one interacts on the train. I'm not missing out on the walk from the station to work either - who would I interact with anyway?
I could see how your comments would make sense if you were using your iPod in a bar or restaurant, but I haven't seen much interaction in public (especially on my commute) lately that I would be missing out on.
Sony: Oh, btw, the PSP is for sale now, at $20 more than we thought...
Customers: Quick! Run to the stores!
Since this is supposed to be the "Walkman of the 21st Century", and will have USB, memory stick technology, etc., it seems unlikely that "waiting for games" is a valid reason not to release it when they said they would. They may be having problems, or may be trying to stir up demand. I'm guessing the latter.
Yeah, sure, these chairs came to symbolise the greed of the Dotom Bubble, and they may be "dumb and popular", but there's no denying one thing: they are comfortable. Ask anyone who's ever sat in one, and they will agree. Definitely not worth the $750 per chair that my company paid for them at the time, but they are very comfortable.
...with all the people I've helped move lately, I've become somewhat of an expert on taking apart and putting together beds, desks, entertainment centers, large tables, small tables, etc...
The Apache License, Version 1.0. This is a simple, permissive non-copyleft free software license with practical problems like those of the original BSD license, including incompatibility with the GNU GPL.
The Apache License, Version 1.1. This is a permissive non-copyleft free software license with a few requirements that render it incompatible with the GNU GPL.
We urge you not to use the Apache licenses for software you write. However, there is no reason to avoid running programs that have been released under this license, such as Apache.
It also says that versions 1.0 and 1.1 of the ASF License are incompatible... why are we only hearing about this with version 2.0?
...according to CNN, the cancellation decision is expected to require the Army to pay at least $2 billion in contract termination fees. That is, assuming, of course, that they tell the primary contractors the program is over, considering the Sikorsky people think we are on track and fully funded until we hear otherwise.
"With the help of c't, a student of computer science has tracked down the authors of a computer virus. The editorial staff were able to establish contact with the virus distributors and buy IP addresses of infected machines. Because one of the virus distributors has been located in Great Britain, c't has passed on all information to Scotland Yard. By now, individuals in several countries have been arrested."
The Slashdot heading leaves out that it was a College Student who did this primarily. Will this continue to be a pattern in the future? I sure hope so, as law enforcement is typically behind the times, and overworked as it is. This way, order is still maintained without vigilante justice, since those in the know involved proper law enforcment.
Harder to call work and pretend to be sick!

Employee: Um, yeah, hi, boss? I can't come in today, I really don't feel well.
Boss: Johnson! Get over here in front of the video camera so I can see you!
Employee: Uh, ok, just a second sir..., oh, and it's Thompson, sir.
Sound of much shuffling in the background...
Boss: Johnson! What's taking so long?
Employee:Nothing sir, here I am... as you can see, I am sick...
Employee has used yellow highlighter to make his face look pale, copying that commercial.
Boss: Well, Johnson, you do look rather sick... but is that a Hawaiian shirt I see under your crooked tie??
...is phone call ability. I've owned several Zaureses (Zaurii?;) ) and have run Opie on them, and it is extremely cool. However, since I've always had to carry a PDA *and* a phone, I've always ended up selling the PDA since it's just extra weight and the phone defaults to the place to store contacts since I can voice dial with it.
As soon as there's a Zaurus that's also a phone and has phone software for it from Opie, I'll be switching permanently!
The problem with Microsoft's code being readable is that there are only Microsoft people reading it. Half the time they wouldn't see the forest for the trees (since they are so involved with it all the time anyway), and the other half they would miss things that other people might pick up.
With Open Source, *everyone* gets to look at the code, so there any many eyes, and the bugs get shallower.
I don't know what they've done in terms of changing things, and I didn't RTFA. What I do know is that I've been using the 2.6 kernel on my new ThinkPad T40, and the machine is FAST, and stable. Hats off to all reponsible.
...why, after a long day's work, would I then want to go somewhere else to pay money (two quarters at a time) to play video games? Granted, the arcade may be more social, but if I can pay Counter-Strike online from the comfort of my own home, for an initial fee (the purchase price of the game), it's just a better deal than pumping in quarters in for limited replay value.
...and I thought they were talking about the drink! I was thinking "wine hackers"? Shouldn't that be "sommeliers"? Man, it's still way too early in the day...
With one billion people in India, what is being done to increase the number of employable people? Granted, while we in the US may not like our jobs leaving, it must be helpful to Indians. What is being done to increase the employability of the average Indian?
...for instance, I've worked at companies that have them, and companies that don't. At the ones that don't, rumours and gossip often take the place of what little real information you would get at a meeting, and that can do a lot to foment discontent among the workers.
At the very least, at companies that have meetings, you have the opportunity to see people you might not otherwise see, maybe get some halfway useful information, and get some free donuts.;)

What the hell is This Thing?

Oh, and dibs on the Rocket Ship.
I would start with MythTV. They have a section on working with DVDs for their PVR software.

Actually, there's one that doesn't, and I'm guessing that that's one more than you can brag about. :P
I hope they will include Ebuilds as they are a great way to install software, and are becoming more and more popular as Gentoo does.
