And also, how do you feel regarding RealAlternative for MPC?
Also, how do you really plan on setting yourself apart and being more linux-USER friendly? Most, if not all people who use linux I know also use Real Alternative for MPC on their Windows machines/partitions as opposed to the actual Real Player.
That's just for movies though. This is basically the DVD (minus the disc). It sounds like you get all the menus, all the extras, and anything else on the DVD. AFAIK, most digital cable companies offer the movies, as you'd see on HBO, in the theater, etc, but they don't offer an actual DVD version.
Well, I understand that. I guess my question was more just general, and also could they use this if another option were available? Say another bandage that would still save the life but may not be as good.
Also, how does this affect Jewish people or other people who cannot eat shellfish? I understand that you're not eating this treatment, but do the religious teachings prevent you from any sort of shellfish in the body, not just eating them?
Once one elevator is built, wouldn't it reduce the costs further for future ones? I mean, I know it would because the technology would have been developed. My question is, wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to get the mass up for the counterweight (or whatever it is) through the first elevator and then move it into position?
If you're reading slashdot and posting comments, you should really consider reading a bit better.
I'd dual boot this machine, but the time I spend on this computer is either working (which requires Photoshop, LW, Painter, and a few video editing applications) and playing games, so that's why I keep linux just on the PII machine."
This machine is a P4 2.6ghz, 1gb PC3200, Radeon 9600 Pro that I built last summer. I'll probably be going to 3 gb and a much better (ie, professional) video card in the near future. I only run Win2K Pro on it, as I said, I spend all my time on this machine just using PS, LW, games, etc, so I only have linux on the PII.
The key emphasis, and the part you should read is the "why I keep linux just on the PII machine.
I've only used Fluxbox as a WM, and was impressed by it's performance on a PII-400. How do you think E would fair on the same machine? It's a PII-400, 256mb of ram, Radeon 7000 64mb video card. I started using Fluxbox after KDE and Gnome just became so bloated.

You do realise that the astronauts are up there for other reasons too, right? It's not like they're up there solely to maintain the robot.
I think the idea of space habitation is to make it safe for humans to live and work in space, and that means making space suits that are safe and light weight enough to allow astronauts to get outside and do the job. This robot is just a step backwards from the goal (and a step towards sending the astronauts home).
It's not a step backwards. Keep in mind, astronauts were able to fix the Hubble in their current suits. They'll still be working on safer, lighter, more manuverable suits too. It's not like they're just going to give up on that, especially with the for manned Moon and Mars missions. If anything, it's in the right direction for autonomous robots. There will also be a place for robots and there will always be a place for humans. We need to work on both techonologies.
So what exactly do you want? Completely autonomous robots or completely safe spacesuits? We simply don't have the technology for either. It's space. It's dangerous. I don't think any kind of spacesuit in the next 25 years could survive a random debris collision of something even as small as a fingernail at those kind of speeds. That's where robots come into play. If it can be done without a human, all the better. That's not to say that rovers and robots should completely replace humans for space exploration, as we still need to the human element to connect with.
It's much safer for the astronauts to be inside instead of outside the station. Would you be happy if it were autonomous? Because really, the first step I would think is to make something that works first, even if it needs outside input, before making it completely autonomous.
Along similiar lines, would they need a warrant to access data from different locations even if it's from the same state/city/whatever, or can they get a "network warrant" to search your entire network?
I don't really see copying textbooks as wrong. I think it's wrong to copy them in order to sell the textbook or return it. Basically the whole fair use thing is what I'm saying.
As for the whole issue of new textbooks coming out constantly, with nothing new, that is indeed BS. Since the laws of math are going to be the same (except maybe at the very highest levels of math where things are still being discovered), it's pointless and stupid to keep printing out new books and charging extremely high prices for them. The only way I could see a new edition being better was if it actually somehow taught the principles better. This applies to all subjects I believe, with the possible exceptions of the arts and maybe even history, since it's a lot of it is subject to opinion.
I thought the fire that killed the Apollo astronauts was an oxygen fire. If it wasn't, what exactly was the fuel that could have consumed the entire inside of the capsule?

dude this is huge!
I've heard that so many times it's lost all meaning.
He said his wrists were strained from using the computer all day, he didn't say WHAT he was doing on the computer all day.

Maybe they're better off with the jumbos...
Maybe their wives lack jumbos....
I hope that utility also allows kill -9 clippy .
So you're ready to install it now?
I only accept cash. And boobies.
Even some of the most computer illiterate people I know usually know the difference between R and RW.
With all of these new recording format options made available to the public, how can any consumer intelligently know which one to buy into?"
If they send me 20 dollars I will tell them the secrets to buying a DVD burner.

Just because one legitimate use may not have been given doesn't mean one doesn't exist.

Just look, there is hardly a single article on /. where someone doesn't bring up the terrorists.
That's because the terrorists have already won!
I think we have to thank movies like these. Afterall, if it weren't for them, no MST3K!
And I believe T-rex had a huge nose/olfactory system.
Actually, Einstein did not recieve bad grades. He wasn't the best student (conflicts with teachers, etc), but he did not receive bad grades.
Also, it was a joke.
