Remember that PostgreSQL is also free, and has a number of very cool features. I'm not telling you which one to use, but do remember that MySQL isn't the first open source database to have those features, nor the only one.
Yes, it's caught my eye several times when I see "open source" mentioned in an offhand and vaguely approving way in the addmittedly more technical Scientific American.
The original BT client is written in Python (which isn't exactly fast...), but there're also clients in other languages. You use a java one (Azureus?), and I think there's a C++ client out there somewhere.
It's sad; they teach (in my part of the USA, at least) the imperial units first because the metric units are "harder". Then they need to re-teach the metric system every friggin' year! With all that, you'd think that we'd use the metric system, but apparently people just keep going back to the system they learned first. I have the advantage that I never actually learned the imperial system (back in elementary school I had a "bad attitude"), so I didn't have it to mar my metric usage.
Of course. What I meant was that you need more than drive, desire and dedication to put people on the moon, not that those things are unimportant (or unessential).
I don't think they've got the engines on the big vehicle yet, but they're going to build them this week now that they've got their engine design and propellant issues worked out.
Too many people think nano-technology to work wonders and they are still trying to make simple gears do something useful.
Nanotech is already doing useful or near-useful things. There are micro-pumps for doing, say, some biotech stuff with a lot of parallelism (there's already such a product on the way), and using an array of cantilevers for non-volatile memory. That's the sort of thing that nanotech is going to be good for in the foreseeable future, not gray goo.
And SCO made up the DoS thing. That episode just went to show that even lying scum of the worst sort can occasionally tell the truth. I think this spammer may be telling the truth on this. It would certainly explain how this fundamentalist grandmother manages to justify her conduct to herself: she doesn't send any of those evil perverted spams and confines herself to the rest, which is considered to be ethical. It's a thin layer of hipocrisy, but she doesn't sound like the sort who thinks her beliefs through very carefully.
This spammer is "ethical" because she doesn't so that. From the article:
But Fox and Connelly have their limits. They don't peddle Viagra, breast enlargement pills or smut, they say. "When I defend what we do, I talk about free speech," says Connelly, a rugged man with silver hair and a full beard. "When it comes to porn, I don't care about [the pornographers'] free speech."
I can't help wishing that this bitch would rethink her priorities. There's something very wrong when "smut" is thought of as being so much worse than spamming millions of unwilling recipients every day.
From what I hear, it is that difficult. There are lots of filters out there being put in place by ISPs and businesses, and spammers have to worry about them all the time. It's interesting to see how the spammers justify their t r 1 c k z. A comment on ISPs filtering out spam:
"This is just like racketeering," Fox says. "It's the big guy squeezing the little guy out."
How stupid is that? Sometimes the little guy deserves to be kicked out. It only takes a few assholes to ruin things for a lot of people, even if the assholes are "little guys".

We have a device that can turn several tons of various materials into zero tons of the same types of materials! It's called a space shuttle.
Nobody said anything about conservation of weight....
Ah, they don't need a howto for that! Obviously since they own all this enterprise-class IP, they can easily stop an attack if it is within their means to do so. Obviously it wasn't, so everyone must be vulnerable to this attack, including such sites as yahoo.com and microsoft.com. I propose that we solve the problem once and for all with draconian laws. Let's invade Venezuala while we're at it.
Or we could just say that SCO are incompetent scum when they're not lying through their teeth.
They tried to change the name to "floatilla" (sp?), but the 435th manager along the chain killed it, and it never found its way to anyone vaguely important. So now it sits in several filing cabinets, abandoned and forgotten.
They've got enough problems up there with noise as it is. The Russian modules, wspecially, are very loud, and noise-cacelling headphones are too uncomfortable for extended use.
If it *does* happen then maybe we'll see IPv6 gain acceptance after all;)
Hasn't SCO taught you anything? IPv6 contains IPv4's "DNA", and so whoever can pretend to own that owns everything. New technology is never new if somebody wants to collect licence fees on it.
That makes me wonder where the heat goes. There isn't a whole lot of air in space, so you can't use the usual method of letting the breezes carry away the excess heat. Perhaps the heat will leave via the ion drive.
I think you're getting ol' Zeus mixed up with Mars. Mars was the god of war, and Jupiter played with lightning bolts and had affairs with mortal women.

Smile and be happy.
I prefer the completely neutral (and not prone to name changes when Ramadan ends) "Decemberween".

As I recall, there was also a large amount of money involved in getting us to the moon.
And naturally they wouldn't be making anything that looked like a V2 or an Atlas unless they were up to something?

Hell, I consider a lot of pornographers far above her. Funny that she sees it the other way around, allegedly.

Pidgeons have no text editor preferences, and they can't run GNU. They're just pidgeons.

Looking out the window, I notice that it's not very bright outside in my part of the world.

My guess is that it has to do with the dark shady world of technical support and bleeding customers, but I can't think of what.
Oh. Yeah, my brain is screwed up today.
