Couldn't you just set up a CVS type system, with different branches based on architectures you are supporting? Then you would only need one machine with outside access.
Or am I missing something obvious here (related to the discussion at hand, of course)?
They're being amazingly stupid by adding even more annoyances.
Don't forget skyrocketing ticket prices (I paid $9.75 per ticket Saturday night), 20 minutes of adverts and previews, and then the cr@pola movie starts.
Movies only need to look as far as the music industry to see what happens when prices rise, choices lower, and tastes merge. I think they forgot that this is an "art." Now, it's merely a business.
Apparently you are under the impression that the USA is a free country. Please look around for a bit, and tell me if that is really true.
There is no such thing as privacy. People need to get over it. Just as there is no seperation of Church and State, or freedom of speech (ask Rush Limbaugh about that one), etc etc. All the tenents we hold near and dear to our hearts as the core idealogy of what it means to be an American are false. Some more than others, but definitely false.
I am sure that this is more due to the writer's lack of understanding of the subject, then to what appears to be grand jumps in logic. I am somewhat sure the language of the paper will be much more clear.
However, because dark matter "feels" gravity like ordinary visible matter, it is a fair bet that it clumps in the centre of our galaxy.
Previous statement makes no sense until it is explained later that they started down the course of thinking dark matter has a mass far less then previously postulated.
"Heavy dark matter particles would produce high-energy electrons," says Hooper. "Since it's difficult to imagine how they could be slowed to a standstill, we were forced to consider a surprisingly light dark matter particle."
By "light", the researchers mean one to 100 megaelectronvolts, which is between 1000 and 10 times lighter than a proton.
I was managing a furniture store for about 1 year (worked with company for 3.5 years), I come in to open the store and one of the owners is there. The usual "hey what's up" greetings are passed back and forth, then the guy just ignores me. Once all the employees have come in, he pulls me aside and hands me a envelope with my pink slip inside. The official reason was lack of sales (me personally, not the store), which was funny since I was either 1st or 2nd every month for my store. The prick actually told me that I was being let go due to the high number of references he had been asked for about me.
Lesson #1 - don't use a headhunter, they just don't care.
Lesson #2 - file for unemployment the next day. I did that, told them what he had said, and was asked if I would testify if needed. Obviously the answer was yes. They even called back 6 weeks later to verify my story! Turns out the company was under investigation, and my story was another drop in the flood. Sadly, they are still in business.:(

Make sure the GPS' work with OS X.
The network will take 5 minutes to set up (plug it in and go). Make sure all the computers are maxed out (RAM, hdd, AE cards, Apple Care, etc). Run software update for the latest of everything.
Set up TV with surround sound, DVD, TiVo, and 2 cable boxes. Train them that red light on TiVo = recording something. Make sure surround sound receiver has changeable mode names ("TiVo" "TV" "DVD" "VCR" etc). Make sure kids watch when set to "TV" only.
iPod and S400 just work with the computers from the get-go. Yamaha music thingy works fine, once wifi is up and running (according to the article).
The only real question regards Dad and work, does he want a file server so he can save his work on a password protected machine that the kids can't bork?
Phones just work. Same should be for the GPS, with some practice. Find a unit that mounts in a car nicely, works good as a handheld, and has software that works with OS X.
Sure it's nice to have Emacs configured to do a gazillion things for you, but I liken that to owning a radio, tv, telephone, answering machine, dishwasher, dog walker, maid, bicycle, grocery cart, and dry cleaner all built into one gigantic thing.
"802.11g is still a 54Mbit/sec standard," Bell told MacCentral. "802.11b is 11Mbit/sec, but your actual throughput is somewhere between 4 and 5-1/2Mbit/sec. The number that's quoted is the data rate that's used between the radios (raw data rate, which includes the protocols etc.)"
Although internal tests have shown slightly higher data rates, the actual data rate for 802.11g will be approximately 20Mbit/sec, which is 4 to 5 times higher than 802.11b. Bell said the data rate has always been around 20Mbit/sec and hasn't changed in the final draft standard.
This configuration from IBM appears to be of a one piece design. One thing IBM does understand is corporate customers working on the road. They might not make sexy looking machines, but they always deliver the goods on being usable for their particular niche.
If GT4 is available for the GC, that is what I would buy. The PS2 I have access to is not mine (roommates).
The GC itself does not suck, I just don't like the controllers that come with it, or most of the games. I bought it for nostalgias sake. I won't be doing that again, for anything. Life lived, lesson learned.
I found Zelda to be profoundly boring. Not to mention friends of mine that beat the game in a sitting or two. My review of it is something like this; "pretty boring graphics, walked around some, played with fake sword that I had to give back (lame!), walked around some more, caught the pig, threw it in the water. It swam back to shore. That's kinda neat. Bored now." That was it.
MP was my own fault. I made it to a place that I could not backtrack to get a protective suit (heat I think) when I needed it. oops
I am a big Madden Football and Grand Tourismo 3 fan from PS2. I need games that I can play for hours on end, but not be doing essentially the same thing. That plus the fact I can beat my roommate at GT3 hands down is nice too;-) Not so luck with Madden however (about even)...
GC just doesn't do it for me. And now that I am strapped for cash, I spend no money on the GC. A big part of it for me is the controller. Look at SSX for example. Very fun game! But it just feels _made_ for PS2. Fewer button options gets me repeating same trick over and over again.:-(

Too bad for us.
church and state
president sworn in over a bible
all currency - 'in god we trust'
prayer in congressional sessions
plege of allegiance - 'under god'
the list goes on and on. it is nothing but a ideal. it is not actually practiced.

Most likely "every piece we have checked so far" or something similar...

I have noticed that the general tone of the responses to SCO's claims are getting terser. I think I like it!

Double entendre....
KISS the band.
Early 1970's was the tail end of the Apollo lunar landing program.
This is rather old news (from before last shuttle broke apart) IIRC.
The point is to get into a program that is more cost effective, and safer at the same time.
Current Shuttle program is expensive, the payloads are small, and relatively unsafe.
NASA needs to remember the 1970's...
K.I.S.S.

I know that this shouldn't matter... but BeOS is too damn ugly for me to look at. I could never use it on a daily basis (major OS 8/9 flashbacks).
"The Suppository"
In general, they prey on the elderly. That is a market of what, 50 million people?
And 4 million includes not just the people that call you, but the others in the business (mgmt, tech people, etc etc).
There are 15,000 in Finland...
I am unsure how an industry with millions of employees (somewhere around 4 million IIRC) is considered "small" by you.
The RIAA has settled with that girl
No, that is not quite correct. They settled with the girl's mother, for money. The case was not withdrawn, as it was in the case of Grandma here.
No doubt.

Seems to me that this could all be done in a day.

Is Intel pushing MS Windows now?
Intel > procs and chipsets > DRM > MS Windows
And how does Gnome or KDE compare now with their 1995 editions?
And what is the difference between correctness and convention? Point of view.

VGA = legacy port in Apple speak. Apple no like legacy.
Side ports - new hinge design causes screen to sink below into where the cables would be coming out of the back.
Although it would be nice if there was a USB port on the right side (mouse cable not have to wrap around behind screen). Oh well.
Life goes on.
Ad was good enough for me to buy the GC just so I could play that game.
(No, I haven't touched the GC in months...)
1.00GHz with Combo Drive - $1999
1.25GHz with Super Drive - $2599
Super Drive model also comes with double the RAM (512 vs 256), AirPort Extreme card, and bigger hard drive (80GB vs 60GB).
If you upgrade everything from the combo drive model (except the processor) the cost is $2473. That $126 gets you another 250MHz. Not too bad.
Maybe Apple has figured out that people want their pricing to make sense!?
