In that case, they shouldn't support Windows. If they dropped support of Windows in favour of Linux (or any other *nix for that matter), their support calls would plummet.
Ok, so would their sales. The *nix market for these things is, admittedly, much smaller than the Windows market (for now).
it could be 4.7. I kept getting parsecs in ly, AC's dist in ly, and AC's dist in parsecs confused when it comes to the tenths (I know it's 3.x, 4.x and 1.x, respectively).
They have neither infinite gravity nor inrinite mass. What they do have is a finite (but kindof large) mass in an extreamly (infinitely?) small volume. If a blackholes had infinite mass or gravity, there wouldn't be a universe as everything would have been sucked in a long time ago.
Infinite mass -> infinite gravity -> nignificant (infinite?) gravity at infinite distance.
Beta Centauri is not part of the Alpha Centauri triplet. There is Alpha Centauri A & B (both G type iirc), and Proxima Centauri (M? red dwarf iirc).
All three stars are approximately 4.2 (? can't remember that tenths digit) light years away with PC being a fraction of a light year closer (for now, anyway:)
You can't, unless it's really, 0.xMHz. However, if it really is 0, then it probably jumps to something more workable in response to IRQ activity. Perferct for the embeded world.
Unless things have changed recently, when OpenSSH finds that there is no/dev/random (eg on Solaris), it insists that you supply the path to egd's pipe.
Yes, those "dumb" users are wanted. How else are we going to shrink Microsoft back down to size (preferrably 0 IMHO)? Also, just remember that some of those "dumb" users are "dumb" only because of lack of opportunity to "be smart". Linux gives those users a chance to learn if they {choose,are able} to. You never know, one of those "dumb" users might be the next Alan Cox or Linus Torvalds.
As was mentioned elsewhere, there's icecast. There's also Speak Freely. Or there's always the possibility of knocking something up yourselves.
I suspect that with the availability of mp3 mixers, icecast, etc, a nice solution for the communications problem should be achievable. Timing, on the other hand, is another matter, but then that's what clocks are for:)
It sure does, the fcc id search is the old hardware owner's best friend. just plug in the guarantee code and (optionally) the product code, and you're (usually) going to find your manufacturer. I've used it a few times myself.
I've only gotten 75% of the way through the article, but it's beginning to sound like Kaplan ruled in favour of the MPAA in order to force the issue up to the next level. Yes, he was insulting, but that is actually why I'm beginning to suspect this: being insulting never gives your argument strenght. If anything, insults detract from your argument.
Too many of the analogies mentioned in the article are just too ludicrous to get past a higher court, and so this seems to be a way of passing the buck. My guess is that Kaplan knew that no matter how he ruled, he would not have the final say, and thus made things even more likely to move up.
I'ld better stop now. I'm having too much trouble passing my thoughts to my fingers.
nmap can be used to scan a single port. Just tell it to do an OS id on port 80 and you're almost guaranteed to get through the firewall (iirc, nmap just sends an invalid packet to the port and examines the bit settings on the return packet).
Um, do you that the resulting displacement is measurable in cubic km per year? If you have a wall 1km x 1km moving 10cm/y, that's 0.0001km^3/y. Now have a 1000km streach of coastline moving at that speed and you have 0.1km^3/y, or 100 million m^3/y. Ok, that may not be anywhere enough to account for what the other poster was referring to (nor do I think what he was saying was quite right), but don't knock that 10cm/year movement rate. It's more significant than you think.
While water is a greenhouse gas, it first has to let the heat in in the first place. Take note of what happens the next time a cloud passes over the sun:)
And just what do you think crystalized anything is? Liquid? Gas? Plasma? No, it's solid. You might be thinking of glass (windows, glasses etc). Glass is still a liquid, just rediculously viscous (it flows over decades/centuries).
When Ice floats on water, it displaces almost exactly the same volume of water as the amount of water that's in the ice (NOTE: not the volume of the ice). Thus when the ice melts the level of the water will not rise.
As an experiment (and yes, kids at home can do this too:), partially fill a container with water and a handfull of ice (making sure that no ice is touching the bottom of the container). Note the level of the water. Allow the ice to melt. Note the level of the water. The levels of the water should be the same (or the new level slightly lower due to evaporation).
Actually, I seem to remember hearing that there was once ice at 0N (and S). Apearently, there was no unfrozen surface on the earth 3 or 4 billion years ago (relatively shortly after earth's formation while life was forming in the ocean). I think I heard this while watching a slide show at the Carter Observatory in Wellington NZ.
I don't think so. HeUnique was an article poster about a year ago, and then disappeared for a while. I have no idea why (moved onto other things, I guess), but it's kind of nice to see him back.
Hey, Calgary may not be anywhere near as pretty as Wellington (New Zealand), but my wife and kids (and I) are much happier here in Calgary than we were in Wellington.
/me wonders if it's from being an extra 10000+km from our parents:)
very true, but odds are the impact velocity will be much less than 18000mph as most objects are orbiting in the same direction, so the relative velocity will be much less (but increasing with angle of incedence and ecentricity). However, for objects with opposing orbits, 36000mph is more likely, and thus more deadly; in which case, you're hosed.
