If you're interested in Jeff Bezos and the interview has left you wondering more still, check out the conversation with him posted at ITConversations from the Web 2.0 Conference.
Jeff talks about Amazon and entertains questions from the audience.
Terrain and time constraints make this an issue for me. I do cycle fairly often in the summer when I have the time, otherwise I'm caught having to dry. Especially with the cold Wisconsin winters.
Don't lights like these exist already? We have lights that change for you in southern Wisconsin. They do force you to slow down a little as you approach the light.
Divide up the project so that he only has a piece of the puzzle and will fail unless he is able to interact with the other team members to get it to work. Also play lots of games where social interaction is involved to solve the problem, human knots, simple ball games, you know those group building games we all hate.
8 people to a circuit, and an extra of every part you have on your computer, someone will need it.
http://www.networkofgamers.com is my LAN party, if you were wondering.
I enjoy hitting up the local Sears they now have a AOL CD Case that is a clear thing plastic vs the big DVD black case. I've started a collection of AOL CD's (aol.bobtheking.com) with the hopes of collecting enough to send them to NoMoreAOLCDs.com so they can get their million CDs and water AOL's yard with them. If you want to get a ton of AOL CDs though with cases I'd have to say the best way to go is to find a disgruntled worker at one of the retail stores that provides AOL CDs with cases.
I guess in theory that you probably could. It might not be the greatest beowulf cluster but it would be cool to have nodes all over a building. Be like and as we continue our tour you'll see my 2ghz Athlon proccessor based machine with 2 GB of RAM which yes is another node in my beowulf cluster.
I've had the same problem with Cingular service in Janesville, WI. It seems that Cingular's signal is fine outside but once you get inside any building it dies. I have co-workers who use US Cellular and we'll both take out our phones and their phone will be pulling a pretty strong signal where as my Cingular phone will barely have any signal at all. Does anyone perhaps know why this would be and if I could improve it without switching phone services?
This sounds to me to be a great deal like something Hitler would do. So using my high math skills I'm going to draw up the equation
Hitler = Ellison
Oracle = Germany during the World Wars.... Oracle employees should probably start fearing for their lifes and jobs right now.
I completely agree with having a charge on dumping electronic parts but I'm sad to hear good stuff is going to waste. I've decided that since I'm new to the Linux scene but extremely interested in getting involved I would join up with another newbie friend and build a beowulf cluster with the most minimal cost possible. We have a vast majority of our 90mhz computer stockpile obtained from computers that have been thrown away (courtesy of my friend's aunt and uncles recycling business). We're finally starting work on getting the computers to all network with our old ISA network cards.
Anyway I would just like to strongly encourage everyone to work on a beowulf in their basement vs throwing the stuff away. A day when you old computer becomes just another node in your beowulf will be a great day.
Ok so say I'm Bob and my friend Joe Blow just happens to have a portion of my data backed up on his computer (which of course the computer to back up on is completely picked at random, but for the sake of my question it's going to be my friend Joe Blow). So Joe's data is then backed up on Mary's computer.
Say Joe's computer goes down (and needs to be reformatted) but Mary and my computer stay running. Joe can retrieve all his crucial backup data because it is on Mary's computer (perfect right?), but while Joe's computer is down mine goes down too. Now since Joe (or my backup) is gone, what computer do I turn to get my backup that I'm supposed to have from?
I understand that Joe here may only have 1% of my total data stored on his hard drive, but what if that 1% is crucial to me?
So in reality are we going to have to backup our data multiple times? If everyone's hard drives were spread just twice a cross the Internet onto other people's hard drives I do believe this would present a massive storage problem.
But did you really stop to think that 33% of all statistics are made up? It is a matter of rather important importance that perhaps this statistic is just made up.
I'm just praying that they don't try and and charge for me to play over my LAN. That would make me a very angry man. I can't imagine how cool this will be come 10 years when the only way to play online is to have an account on some server of a company that went out of business. How are you supposed to play online then?
I'm glad that Alan still has some respect for himself and the rest of the FREE software movement. I'm scared to think what Red Hat will become if AOL takes over.
This sounds like a really cool idea but you know what evil government will get to govern who gets what space and what they get to say? Also I'm a little confused as to won't this potentially fill up the planet and you won't be able to move five inches eventually without getting spammed?
Everyone lock their closets right now so no one can use that space. You'll thank me when your closet is the only spam free zone in your house.
I'm into Tom Clancy books and Delta Force computer games, would this movie interest me at all? I'm just kind of wondering because I don't want to go and end up having to sit through some love story, although if that happens I'll just sneak into like FOTR and watch that again.
I just had my own LAN party yesterday with 5 other people coming over for a day of gaming fun. We had a great time but I'm wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks relating to LAN parties?
You have to take into consideration the good stuff that is on TV that I do watch when I get a chance such as The Screensavers, Seinfeld, The 70's Show, and Dilbert.... Oh wait that doesn't a leave a whole lot... hm... TV blah!
This whole paying for music that you can't use theory is bogus. Everyone should take a look at http://www.Zeropaid.com. It has everything you need for your p2p needs.
yes... it is very wrong. But we do it everyday. Just think all the money we pay in taxes to support professional sports teams. And after thinking about the tax money you gave for that new stadium how about the $85 ticket that you'll need to get in for one game. Hm... something isn't right here. Open Source software is a great thing.

I live real close to where I work, but I still have to go through multiple stoplights to get to my job.
Don't lights like these exist already? We have lights that change for you in southern Wisconsin. They do force you to slow down a little as you approach the light.

That was a very fast slashdotting of Zeropaid, perhaps Sharman shut them down too?

so I want traditional cellular service because it goes through buildings better?

Everyone should go download 5 songs from CDs they would normally buy but aren't going to. Attack their business if they attack ours.
