Maybe we should do this for Source Forge projects? Then we know which ones we shouldn't waste or time on. Or, we could do this with Linux Distros so we know which ones we should just abandon before wasting all our efforts.
Q: Are there any plans to do things such as indexing the projects on SourceForge and adding them into the search database on the Google Code site? A: Oh yes. We definitely want to do that, as with FreshMeat. That's pretty far off though...
Q: So do you think you'll see many converts from sites like SourceForge and FreshMeat to Google Code?
A: Yeah, there will probably be a couple. Also, we don't offer the kind of services that SourceForge does. We're doing something both less and different.
Q:
They don't seem to be doing anything innovative or even exciting. They're just using the power & name of google to create another tool.
You know what your post reminded me of? A month+ back some guy's firt post was complaining that the article posted on/. contained some swear words, and that they should be careful because his kids read/. on occasion. Well, can you imagine that guys response to your first post? ha ha ha that would be funny.
It's time we put away the Conkers and Contras and Castlevanias of our past and focus on the games we have yet to dream of
This message should be for video game developers, not video game consumers. Developers definitely need to get their heads out of their @sses and start dreaming up new, creative ideas instead of just taking the easy way out with throwbacks. Consumers on the other hand have little impact on what games are being developed, and therefore consumers can do whatever they want. If they want throwbacks or if they want brand new fresh ideas, no biggy. But the writer of this article needs to direct his ranting towards the appropriate people.
So, if this were to actually happen. And companies were to start selling DVD music players for cars, walkman, stereos, etc. This could become really cool and interesting! Think of the physical size of a DVD vs a CD. Instead of artists spitting out 10 or 12 songs per album, they could produce 100+ if desired! Or, something kinda interesting, with each DVD you buy, the artists could include all the previous songs they ever recorded. Imagine compilation DVDs, they could include Billboard top 100 or something large like that. I don't know how high the prices would sky-rocket, but it would be neat to see that even at the highest quality, they could still pack tons and tons of songs onto one DVD.
I agree. It's so stupid. We have contruction crews that will come out and work 3rd shift in the dark on bridges, but for regular day heavy traffic constructions sites, they only work during the daylight, and only until like 5pm. Why????? Couple of points 1.) It would arguably safer or just as safe at night when traffic levels are at their lowest vs during the day at their highest 2.) why do they only work till 5pm? they should seriously work 24 hours straight and have different shifts just like a factory. example, in the midwest during the summer it's light out until 9pm, but they quite 4 or 5 hours early
All the average depths came from here , and do you know how to read??? The wiki article you posted says the same numbers mine does , just scroll down to where it says... Relative elevations, average depths, maximum depths, and volumes of the Great Lakes. There is a pretty picture showing the average depths.
Straight from the first paragraph of the article... According to a report from Japanese newspaper Kyoto Simbun, the Nintendo DS has become the fastest console or handheld ever to sell 10 million units in Japan, taking just 20 months to reach the milestone, an extremely impressive feat for the Kyoto-headquartered firm.
Just to let you know the main reasons why... The Great Lakes are cooooollllldddd and have poor soil thus few animals. Plus, they're really not that deep... Lake Michigan average depth is 279 ft, Lake Erie 62 ft, Huron 195 ft, Ontario 283 ft, Superior 500 ft... Oceans average 13000 ft and are much warmer.
The researchers believe the system could have more practical applications in the future. They say it could be used to automatically translate sign language, for example
Yes, if this technology exists, and slips out into mainstream, they better put it into more practical uses than DDD.
Why does the media hate freedom, support terrorists and want to abort babies to use the remnant stem cells to save gays from AIDS?
Because the media feels their free speech rights are being violated, that we didn't sit down and talk with the terrorists enough yet, because they're all pregnant from last month's trip to the bar, and each of their uncles half brothers are from San Fransisco.
Good, and now when the phone records are divulged, we'll find out that reporters actually don't talk to anybody. All news is ficticious. Remember the movie Wag the Dog?

Instead of wading thru 7+ pages of clicking and ads ... Printer Friendly version. You can thank me later.
I think I've seen this business plan before
1. Start a business in an area dominated by MSFT
2. Sue them for patent infringment
3. ???
4. Profit!!!
If only we could run CPD (copy/paste detector) on /.
I bet the numbers would be off the charts!

I'll lay odds that the first iPhone will be kinda clunky anyways. I'll wait for the iPhone Nano (maybe even the alumninum iPhone Nano).

Under the plan, astronauts will be sent to the Moon around 2020 to start construction of the base that will be completed by 2030
This reminds me of the timeframes set out by the state construction workers on our highways.

The average depth of Lake Erie is only about 62 feet (210 feet, maximum). Lake Erie is by far the wimpiest of the great lakes!
Is it just me, or do Linux Desktops seem to be following the Windows trend? They seem to be getting more bubbly. Take me back to the days of BlackBox
