I've been facinated with this thing ever since I discovered it was using processors I could actually write assembly (and C) for. Each node is running an embedded linux kernel.
Here's a bit more: each node has 2 cpus and 4 fpus, custom non-preemptive kernel
application program has full control of all timing issues
kernel and application share same address space
kernel is memory protected
kernel provides: program load / start / debug / termination file access all via message passing to IO nodes
the one feature that I was expecting and did not see (and saw on the Nikon offering) was automatic GPS meta-tagging. I do I lot of hiking and it's the primary reason I take pictures. I seldom pay attention to exactly where I am, it's more like the next stop for beer & food is (n) hours that way (shame the USians don't have that sort of thing), car is that way, &tc. I own a GPS but seldom use it over paper maps & trail markings. So with GPS met-tagging I could figure out where I took the picture of this unbelievable... water fall (close to Bruck a.d. Mur I think)
2:Several courses on photography over the summer at the local tech college
3:50 euros for a mount on the front of my motorrad for my existing Canon
4: Strong interest in aerial photography
Summary: I'll need a new camera by the summer. Because my real fixation is large panoramas I have a need and because I've got kids I can take photos of them and mollify my girlfriend. A simple plan:)
Ohh... I guess I should say the GF drives my new car and I ride a bike to work...
I pay 6 Euros for the regular cinema, 7,50 for the English cinema, and DVD are 19 when they first come out and frequently I buy the bargain ones a 7~10 Euros. Still I rent more than I go to the cinema and buy when the director or actors are people I like or if the film was originally in some language not German or English.
Sometimes I have trouble following the German dubbed films and typically at the rental place down the street "foreign" language films have the original language & German.
I have spent upwards of 25 on cult classics like Le Grand bleu.
I would think that rather than creating super-duper magic concrete that we should be developing reprocessing / breeding techniques. I was under the impression that the primary reason the Americans quit reprocessing was the idea that someone would wind up with weapons grade fissile material. That all sort of seems past tense now...
In my case it's not because our customers use it but because MS products are on the list of software we are allowed to use AKA "validated, approved & licensed"
and getting new stuff on this list has inertia associated with it that can only really be understood by freight train engineers and captains of oil supertankers.
If your shed like device is not attached to the rest of the house, I suggest you stick the cat 5 in some PVC pipe or something, when you run it under ground
Oh.. and just be sure the nipple erecting area is close enough to the shed, I think the limit is like 100m or something.
10 years ago I read a study which added up all the energy consumed in the production, delivery and installation of photovoltaic cells. The conclusion was that the cell would not produce that much energy in it's life time. This is why PV cells are still only used in situations where there is no existing electric infrastructure and building one would be cost prohibitive.There have been numerous advances in the efficiency of PV cells but I don't think these advances had made it out of the lap and into production yet
However a highly distributed power generation scheme does have its advantages for example the largest part of energy produced in the US is consumed in transport of energy, producing the energy where it is consumed saves this.

I could go on and on but it's all on Blue Gene's site http://www.research.ibm.com/bluegene/index.html
I can't resist adding that GCC won't use the second FPU on each die...
Check it out on Wikipedia or something.
Yes, the law is seriously broken. This should not suprise you.

Pawn it...
Why not this is /. and it's mostly too late.
Or a similar effort to prevent submarine patents.

Thanks tho....
I've got a nice little Cobalt Qube 2 that is very under utilized due to the fact that it cannot load the PPTP module mppe, it fails with
"Mmpe.o: ld: /usr/pkg/lkm/mppe.o: Not enough room for program headers (allocated 3, need 4)"
Not a web display format.

excelent!
The guys on linux hacker: http://www.linux-hacker.net/ are doing great things with those CVS & dakota digital cameras
It's going to take a lot more than a couple of environmentalists and scientists showing up and telling me I've got to leave!
I can explain it simply: there is no "Jar Jar Binks" in the LotR trilogy.

Warm Body??!! at 45~75 Degrees Centigrade?
Perhaps that's because Lucas lifted the whole jedi bit from Joseph Campbell, who documented the mythology of most of humanity
Still the city works for me and they have chargers at work....
Because it's less of a failure than captialism?
What happened to the "If we use windows will this happen again" part?
obviously you've never seen my flat
