Biodiesel is NOT perfect. It is NOT your personal saviour. It does, however, work RIGHT NOW. If you have a diesel, your karma goes DOWN every time you drive without biodiesel.
OK, I live in NYC, where can I go and fill up with B20?
(my aged 300SDL hasn't been fitted with synthetic fuel lines or gaskets, maybe at the 400k mi overhaul..)
... Maybe we can stop throwing money at it, let the ISS fiasco fall from the sky (after the humans aboard flee, of course;), and start building newer systems on newer technology that are more sustainable and that will get us to the Moon on a regular basis and Mars within 20 years...
At this point the shuttle is a circle-jerk for kludgers:////
Tech folks I know are happy to have jobs, even if they're not happy with the actual jobs themselves. Nothing exciting is really happening, and nothing that pays as well as boring, uncreative tedium.
All I know is my corp will be first against the wall when the revolution comes.
OTOH, my UT2004 sk33l7_ have improved quite a bit, over what was an admittedly poor baseline;)
umm, why do they put a piece of garbage in there? The FX 5200 is what, the low end card a gen and a half ago?
Geez, how about a 5900SE/XT even if you have to clock it a little slow for heat dissipation and sound.. Or a mobile ATI 9800 chipset that DOESN'T SUCK...
At least make a nicer vidcard an option for phuxake.. Read the tomshardware comparo and weep...
Maybe making the filesystem database work more like a relational database is what you really meant.
Ummm....
No.
Be already ha(d|s) a relational filesystem. However, building a mountable frontend to a DB could be interesting for a number of reasons, including robustness, portability, and flexibility. With a 'filesystem' schema standard that can support indexed attributes, searchability, snapshots, clustering, atomicity, remote mounts, all that stuff, and which can be implemented vendor-independently so you can run it on any DB, and create per-OS frontend filesystem modules...
More interesting IMHO than even BeFS, which IIRC isn't networked or doesn't support snapshots or atomicity...
.. I'd been wondering if that were supportable in Linux.. And atomic file changes are neat, though I still think building a DB filesystem would allow for more flexibility in stuff like file searching, typing, attributes, and all the stuff you can build into a database like snapshots, clustering, etc..
... or if that's a bit strong, maybe just a stroke that would keep him from butchering the sequels as he has the prequels (and the 'special editions')...
Imagine if Coppola tried to do 'Godfather 4'.. I would have to kill him...
Or how dissenting voices regarding the Iraq invasion were barely heard?
Err, they weren't heard because they were shrill and whiny.
I fucking HATE shrill whiners.
Or how a Hollywood star is now the governor of California and a Republican.
And a pro-choice immigrant?
Or how media ownership is concentraed into the hands of a few vocal conservatives?
How many times does Rupert Murdoch appear on TV as compared to, say, Charlie Rose?
Or how F9/11 got dropped by Disney and was in "can't find a distributator" mode for a while?
And how the resulting controversy absolutely torpedoed the film at the box office?
Or how every "history" movie (especially WWII) is ahistoric and highly pro-American.
So we need more films glorifying Nazis? I figure Leni Riefenstahl had the market cornered on that, but whatever floats your boat, dude...
Or how TV was quick to digitally remove the twin towers from every skyline as not to upset anyone?
Or else leave them in everywhere to provide something that will upset everyone to the point where they start burning down Dearborn and Jackson Heights in an anti-Arab pogrom?
Or how shows that tackle history in an honest and non-partisan way only exist on PBS?
Which is funded by the selfsame government you crank off against? Hmm...
NEWSFLASH: Communism lost. Get over it. Try finding something constructive to do besides whining shrilly, because the last thing this world needs is yet another shrill whiner. We already have Columbia University and UC Berkeley.
Laser power would be interesting, though only in a line-of-sight manner (possibly with beams from UAVs), since you could use the laser to do networking instead of bluetooth...
Also, perhaps a higher-density power source like a fuel cell? Or can they not be built small enough..
It runs Symbian as its OS, but the only thing I'm mad is, it only synchronizes with M$ software (Outlook etc.)
P800s use SyncML, which works seamlessly with at least OS X (Address Book, iCal). You can also check here and scroll down to SyncML for some info.. Keep in mind that support addressbooks and calendars in Linux is still pretty damn primitive, though KDE seems to be making a few strides in the OSX direction with stuff like kitchensync...
... I'm still interested in the idea of using a directory metaphor for metadata.. I wonder if it's possible to adapt files (kind of like how Apple does.app directories) so you could cd into them and change metadata within files in that 'directory'..
Also, if you're gonna start trying to add DB stuff to filesystems, why not think about mounting a DB _as_ a filesystem.. Multiple systems could mount the fs in write with row-level-locking, you could use proven DB tools for robustness and recoverability, etc.. I recall Oracle doing something like this, but their costs were overkill.. Maybe with postgresql as a backend? It'd be easy to add further capabilities like ACLs, filetype metadata, etc.. new functionality with tools and ALTER TABLE...

China, like France has a rather centrally controlled government
Talk about understatement of the day...
And no, not all French are commies... Just the stupidest ones.
Gentlemen, we cannot allow a reactor gap!

I dunno, the whole transparent tty thing was pretty exciting like 5-6 years ago, but pretty much every WM has taken that ball and ran with it..
Why would you use E vs KDE (or even GNOME)? Seriously?

Meh, iPhoto/iChat would do it better, along with solid video.. .. and the Tiger release of iChat will support Jabber...
Where's the linux download link?
Or the OS X downloader?
So what cross-platform IM standard does it support?
Where can I download the Linux or Java version?
Or the GAIM/Kopete/insert-your-imofchoice-here plugin?
Does it integrate with gmail?
?
Picasa is an iPhoto clone...

What FOSS needs is a free, open-source equivalent of the QA/Validation/UI Design department.
It's called giving a shit about user requests.. Especially if you're designing a GUI app.
I'm sure there's _plenty_ of good user usability bugs/wishlist items in KDE's bugzilla, it's just up to developers to give a shit.
Or how they pulled the Reagans?
Because it was slanderous crap?
Or how dissenting voices regarding the Iraq invasion were barely heard?
Err, they weren't heard because they were shrill and whiny.

Also, perhaps a higher-density power source like a fuel cell? Or can they not be built small enough..
(or a nanotube-based fuel cell...)
... to support route mapping? NAVTEQ?
.. so the super blatant obvious question is: where are the nForce dual-PCIe x16 monsters?
;)
(or quad-x16s, since everything is onboard these days? meesa want a home cave

The chick is a guy!!!!!!!!!
it will allow linux to have the one thing that MS OSes have that it doesn't, the ability of a poorly writen user space program to crash the system
