I was so shocked when I heard on a local radio station in Australia about how Microsoft had been caught out "by the geeks at the slashdot.org website."
Energy can be "produced" much more efficiently at a large scale power plant than it can be in a car's engine. Car engines don't burn very hot, compared to power plants. The hotter you burn the more efficient it generally is. Also it's much easier to change the energy source at the supply point(i.e. change from coal to wind or solar) than it is to change at the vehicle. As for the steam, well to produce hydrogen you absorb water vapour from the air, use electricity to split it into hydrogen and oxygen, and then sell the hydrogen again.
What do you think about the current situation on the internet, with users down the bottom and servers up the top? Do you think that the internet should be without a heirarchy so anyone can run a server with high bandwidth?
You could probably build a little sat dish that could sit inside your house, maybe in your roof, or near a window with curtains across it. That may get you a good enough signal.
is a complete replacement for the Soyuz and the shuttle. One that makes travelling to space as cheap and easy as a trip to Pittsburgh. We have the technology, but it seems just not the funding....
Has anyone got this on Gnutella or giFT or Freenet? Using these networks to distribute ISO's is a perfect thing to do emphasize how P2P can be used for more than copyright breaking. I just checked giFT and it doesn't seem to be there....
All you need to do is just confirm the MD5sum to make sure it's not been tampered with. So if you have this - please upload to a P2P network!!!:-) Thanks
Will they be able to communicate even when separate? For instance an invitation in KMail, will connect to Korganizer and put it in there? DCOP should allow that to happen.
I have to say I agree. Evolution and Outlook are horribly designed. I much prefer KMail as a powerful mail client, Kabc and Korganizer being separate, but they still are capable of working together, but not all in the same window. Evolution is horrid.
Meteorites are easy to distinguish from terrestial rocks, and this one is consistant with being one. Maybe someone who already had it chucked it at her? Anyway, it was an easy way for me to get an article posted front page:-).
Well actually the scramjet was lit on the way down. Straight down. So it would have hit the ground and damn near Mach 7.6. That's got to make a good lawn dart.
The problem at the moment is the huge number of incompatable office programs on Linux. This would mean they would all have at least one common format that they can stabily support.
They know they are close, but they don't know how close. They know this because when the radiation from a solar flare went past each probe, they looked at the time it took to get between voyager 1 and 2. Then a short time later they heard the radio noise of the solar flare hitting the heliopause. This tells them that they aren't very far away.
What is likely happening is that in the downtime they've had time to inspect stuff they don't normally look at. This sort of inspection is very difficult so it doesn't get done much. If they were operating as usual they probably wouldn't have looked at them.
Yeah but this time a lot of/.er's are coming from out of town. All they need to do is post the bar location and invitation on/. in seconds geeks will be coming from all directions doing 100 metres in 10 seconds easily. Within 5 minutes there will be 10000 people in that bar.
Cool, so instead of having to worry about the borg coming to assimilate us, we can become the borg ourselves, and go an assimilate others! We could have/.borg so we can all be a big beowulf cluster to go after the microsoft borg(tm).

Instead of complaining about it in what should overwise be an interesting thread?

I hope you feel proud.
they're trying to sell winxp at the shop....

It only took me two clicks on the KDE printer wizard and I had mine working. Don't know what the heck you must have been doing......

There's no reason why those applications can't communicate, even if they aren't all in the same window.

Why don't the students just build their own wireless network for filesharing? Could be too difficult....
Where's he gunna get the oxygen required to burn it?
At least thats what they said in my telecoms course.
Meteorites are easy to distinguish from terrestial rocks, and this one is consistant with being one. Maybe someone who already had it chucked it at her? Anyway, it was an easy way for me to get an article posted front page :-).
Actually, I didn't make that point at all. All I said was that it was in North Yorkshire, and where's Bruce Willis? Chrisd added the rest :-).

No. It would create an energy economy.
