Not negative, complex. As in the square root of a negative number. The value 1/square_root(c^2 - v^2) would be a complex number. You would experience imaginary time. Fiction portrays this as going back in time, but the reality would no doubt be far stranger.
Or is this an extreme for which string theory or quantum gravity have a different answer?
12.7 billion years ago our point of view didn't exist either. The universe was only around 1 billion light-years across. You might think that would mean all light would arrive at a destination in 1 billion years or less. You would be wrong.:-)
and have always been a part of HTML. The idea is that you are tagging structure, not layout. Text should be emphasized, or made to look strong. and are layout tags, which say to use a bold font or italicized font.
<em> and <strong> are preferred since CSS 1, because best practices say you should separate presentation/layout from structure. The former should only be in CSS, while the latter are in the HTML itself.
Qt's collection classes are API compatible with STL. So I would argue that it plays nicely already. I prefer Qt containers to STL containers because Qt's classes have been optimized. STL has some issues with performance.
[..] I suspect the advantages are at the administration level (reorganizing, branching, merging, etc).
Having gone from an svn shop to a Perforce shop, I can definitely say that branching/merging is much easier in svn than in Perforce. Also, the whole "client" concept is a bad alternative to file system state files (i.e..svn or CVS directories).
I'm not saying that using the filesystem is the best alternative possible, but it's the least worst right now.
I was an early user of MT, especially since it was all Perl scripts that I could hack and modify. But then came the day I added some really cool but of functionality and tried to share it woth my friends.
The license said I couldn't.
In order to share my changes, I had to post diffs, which are extremely technical to use. I posted messages asking about just posting modified files, but was answered in the negative.
I found this extremely frustrating.
That's when I looked around and found something just starting up called WordPress, at around version 0.2 (I think it had a different name back then?), which was GPL.
I never looked back.
I do look forward though, and am now looking closely at things like Typo because I like Ruby on Rails.
Although his math was a bit off, the grandparent's point remains valid.
At closest approach, Mars is about 56 million km away.Iif we switch the d=½at^2/ equation around, we get t=sqrt(2d/a). 'd' would be ½ the 56 million km distance, to allow for turnover, giving t/2, so..
t/2 = sqrt( 2 * 28*10^9 / 4.9 ) t = 59.4 hours =~ 2½ days
So between 2½ days and a week to get to Mars. Not bad..
I think the robot should have a desk which is a scale model of the remote user's actual desk at home.
And maybe a little box with a door that can be closed to represent being n/a. (with a moon carved into the door)
Knowing that a certain brand of video card has open source drivers would certainly make me buy them, even if I don't use them for Linux right now. So this could have a moderate effect on purchasing decisions. It's a checkbox item, if you will.
The US also has a large Middle-Eastern immagration wave. And since the US has 10x the population of Canada, I think it is Canada that should be eyeing its southern neighbour with a "steely glare".
But it won't, because Canada is not as xenophobic and fearful of "Other People".
On My Command is the Mac version of this sort of functionality. It lets you do pretty much anything with a shell script in a context-sensitive way. Highly recommended.
You can get Mac OS X without the fancy GUI. It's called Darwin.
There's even two versions you can choose from:
GNU Darwin and
Debian Darwin
(although the latter isn't really ready for prime time yet).
Unfortunately, most Mac programs won't run without the nice fancy GUI around.:-/

Come on, don't fall for this stuff. It's not like we are a police state (yet).
Oh yes you are. You just haven't been paying attention.
My static IP costs me $4/month at TekSavvy on top of my regular ISP charges.
Because a DVD costs 20. You could burn 50 DVDs for the cost of one $10 USB stick.

If only we could build an engine that uses CO2 or Sulphuric acid as its fuel, we'd be all set!
So you can get free long-distance calls to other VoIP users. e.g. overseas.

I signed up. Hope to see a "touch tone service fee" lawsuit next!

Actually, a cube with 10cm per side would be "10 cm cubed", not "10 cubic cm".

I agree. Something like "The DRM-busters" or "The MS Lock-in Breakers" would be better.

A decade or two ago one could ask "How would X11 evolve without MIT to 'guide' it?"
Same blindingly obvious answer.
