I have floppies from 10+ years ago that still work. I have floppies from 5 months ago that crap out. I think its in the quality of the manufactoring process. Has floppies became more common place and cheaper so did the quality.
Just this tech's HO. I should mention that I do hate floppies... ever have to tell a graudate student that their thesis is gone because they stored it the same floppy they've been using for 2 years? We tried to tell them to email important stuff to themselves, but they never listen. It must be something about physically having the disk in their hands that makes them feel more secure about it all. *sigh*
If a system admin is dumb enough to think that MS Office 2003 is windows 2003 then he is in the wrong line of work. The fact that your neighborhood MSCE can't figure out how this linux thingie works is not Linux's problem. We all know that MSCE is just a name, not something that demonstrates how well they know a system.
I know all of our space agencies (Nasa, Seti, etc) are tight on money but if something seems strange, interesting or anything out of the ordinary then I would think you'd want to investigate further. Even if the odds are 1000:1, its that 1 that is fascinating or in some cases the problem.
Well the thing is that saying its the most interesting they've found and then saying they won't bother to investigate it further seems kind of strange.
However, Dan from Seti commented up above somewhere and seemed to say that New Scientist did some creative writing on the piece. That makes it sound a lot like your analogy.
So they've received the same signal 3 times that starts off at 1420 Mhz.
Now if you look on this site the 1400-1700 Mhz range is used by radio astronomy and weather satellites. So with that 3 questions:
Is it coincidental that that signal is the same frequency as what the device receiving it operates on? Could this be why they think it might be interference from the telescope (along with the fact that the telescope already adjusts for shift and this still shifts)?
Is it possible Seti has just locked onto an old satellite that happens to be heading in the direction of the area of space between pisces and aries? Like maybe they are receiving a signal from something that some time ago was too far out of range to be picked up?
I do agree with some other posters that this looks like a hell of a change of direction. They've gone from "this is the most interesting" to this is nothing, a full 180, in a day. Not only that, but they have failed to give a reason for such a drastic shift. Could someone have told them to keep their mouth's shut until they know more about it? Could it be that after the initial excitement, they realized that it really is nothing and are trying to save face? I'd imagine Seti tries to remain very cautious in their dealings with the public if for nothing else that they are afraid of losing funding.
Now I'm probably wrong on all of this. Which is why I love/. since some radio geek can tell me why I'm wrong and I'll learn something.
Examples of voodoo science masquerading as legitimate science are all around us: time travel, wormholes, black holes, dimensions curled up into little balls so tiny as to be undetectable, parallel universes, continuum physics, quantum computing, symbolic intelligence, machine consciousness, etc... It is all worthless crackpottery. Yet a few voodoo scientists have managed to amass small fortunes selling some of this stuff to an unsuspecting public, a public that continually thirsts for mysterious things to worship. Hopefully this site will wake a few people up.
You have to be kidding me. The above is from your site and is absolutely rediculous. Yet at the same time as arguing that black holes don't exist, you make the extraordinary claim that the bible contains the blueprints to an AI system?
You sir need to get a new tinfoil hat. I believe the old lead one you're using has leaked into your brain.
Isn't this just helping IBM's request for judgement on that matter?
You'd really hope so.
I would have to think that at this point no judge is going to side with SCO. As far as credibility goes, SCO's seems to be following its stock price (which was last seen south of "Oh fuck").
So it was said to be in the hundreds of thousands... Then it was in the thousands... then the hundreds, then the dozens...
Now all of a sudden its the whole damn thing? I would love to hear SCO explain how someone could have the complete code to an unlicensed version of Unix and have gotten away with it until now.
If you choose to use GPL'd work, then it is your contractual obligation to release modifications under the GPL.
This isn't bait and switch. This isn't libre verse gratis. The GPL requires you to release your source to binary users if you are making a derivative of an existing GPL program. Anyone using Open Source should already know that before getting involved. There is no hidden clauses, for example a project owner can not demand extra stuff as long as you are obeying the license.
Your post is very ignornant of how the GPL and open source works.
That said, sure the project owner can bitch all he wants about a company legally using his project but not giving back extra. However generally in those cases nobody sympathizes with the owner due to the fact that the contract is legal and he is usually told "well you shouldn't of used the GPL" by the community.
If you don't think people are confused enough about what version of windows they run and why it does in fact make a huge difference, then you are fucking retarded. It doesn't matter if its "old". Grandma running Windows 98 doesn't know why its telling her that she can't install her camera. All she cares about is that she can't.
As for the "newbie" thing, thats just you being a jackass. Sure if you're some big marketing asshole, users are revenue streams. For those of us who don't give a flying fuck who is running Linux, "newbie" is a perfect word to describe some distributions. I mean if you substitute "user" for "newbie" what are you saying? "Oh mandrake is such a user distro". Thats idiotic.
As for the consistency, on Mandrake for the most part it doesn't install anything from gnome on default. Meaning apps are consistent with the KDE interface. I'm not exactly seeing the problem here. Now if you want more, sure you just might have to intermingle KDE and gnome apps but I doubt most people would be such an elitest desktop purist as yourself. Now on top of that, there is the general themeing (galaxy in mandrake) which does make things look much more a like.
Now get off your Microsoft high horse. What was the last gui innovation microsoft made? As you even say, they're ripping Expose off from Apple. Seems to me that Apple has done most of the work and Microsoft copies it. (Also, Apple is a UNIX developer... but we'll let that slide since you obviously are pushing an agenda here.)
Now as for "What have you done for me lately", what the hell is the point of that? Open Source has done a lot. Maybe not for you, but looking at your attitude I don't think I'd want you in our community. You sound like a miserly, elitest asshole who is incapable of seeing anything beyond what little ideas you get in your head.
You wrote: "As always, those of you who whine about Debian being out of date have probably never looked at the packages available in unstable and testing."
There are a lot of distributions that are up-to-date (more so than Debian) AND stable. If you want Debian to have it's famed stability, then you can't proclaim that it is up to date. That is what the parent is saying.
So your advice, well whine, that people should just use unstable if they feel debian not so up-to-date doesn't work for the people that use debian for it's stability. People have their reasons for liking debian, being up to date isn't one of them. However, just because someone says that debian isn't "fresh" enough for them doesn't make them wrong.
Instead in 30 years chores around the house will be a thing of the past. The robots will have evolved from automatic appliances to home automations systems. iRobot (and others) will be selling clean floor, clear windows, organized closets, mowed lawns, sparkling toilets, and dustfree surfaces that the consumer never has to think about. The robots just come out and do the job when it need to be done.
Well my first thought is if all responsibilities are given to the robots, what are we going to do?
NetBSD is hardly the OS you'd want running on one of these machines. If you had to pick a BSD I suppose it would be FreeBSD. However, I think Linux scales further which would help explain why you see it on the big clusters instead of BSD.
NetBSD for portability. OpenBSD for security. FreeBSD for well I'm not actually sure, I use Linux instead.
How possible is it to tax US companies that outsource its labor and provide subsidies to those who hire an all american work force?
I mean yeah it sucks that those countries are in situation where american corporations feel it's less expensive to exploit their people but its just starting to get silly.
A couple of weeks ago I visited my grandmother in North Carolina and fixed her computer. She started telling me horror stories about talking to "Bob" on gateway tech support. The funny thing about it is that one of my grandmother's good friends is from India. So when she couldn't understand "Bob" she put her friend on and the first thing out of her mouth was "So what part of India are you from?".
The support they provide is crap due to the language barriers and cost cutting meausures of the american companies. How long can this go on before american citizens step up and say "Hey if you're going to have people help us with your products make them american"?
We have decided to withdraw aid from your disease infected country. We have also decided to collect on past dues such as bailing your ass out during WWI, WWII and anytime your regional warlords decided to act up. The check is in the mail. Have fun with the latest Cholera epidemic.
Toronto and Vancouver are more spendy than Ottawa, Montreal, or Calgary. But you can have a very nice lifestyle making 40% of a New York or San Jose salary in those three cities.
Well thats true in the US also.
The last time I checked the cost of living comparison for my area (the Hudson Valley area in NY) verse NYC (Manhatten especially) is that 50k a year here is about equivalent to 126k there.
Now what I've always wondered is how easy is it to have a residence in Canada but work in the US? Make US money but pay taxes and such in Canadian currency. Seems like you could do pretty well that way.

What happened to pistol in one hand, flashlight in the other?
Yeah it makes sense for something like an ak, shotgun or rocket launcher but I'd hope a space marine could fire that pistol one handed.
It would also be sweet if you could use the flash light like a club. I would think the lighting effects of doing that would rock.

From this:
Charles Jenkins to be extradited
Actually the US soldier that went AWOL into North Korea will be taken into custody by the US military due to the Japanese-US extradite pact.
However it doesn't say that Fischer is being extradited, just that hes being deported.
He should of said:
"Using XML to reduce electricity bills for buildings".
I believe that is what he meant.
