simple reason
Coordination.
Besides having a large dish on earth do communication is one thing... and having communications system based on a remote probe is another.
Moreover the Voyager serves the purpose too. It is farther than Pioneer... infact it is the farthest man made object. It is working perfectly right now. Rather than send repeaters after the sent out probes what is preffered is to send better probes in another direction.
In my view the best view will be "Kharma Whorer 2002, Enterprise edition"
This is for the geeks who do not know how to/or dont want to post insightful/funny/interesting/underrated posts. So what happens. Their Karma goes for a toss. this software will see the slashdot main story... then do automatic googling... and find out more information. In case of the story being a repeat it will also copy the insightful comments from previous one and post them on the story. This will earn insightful points... And googling will get informative points.

But, is this a useful book? Is it good?
From the Article:
The anecdotes and examples throughout keep the reading from becoming too dull. Even with a flat finish to the book it contains plenty of valuable information and is worth the admission price, though it could have been better still.
So you dont read before posting.... Lemme guess you want to be a slashdot editor
hmmph you damn new tech lovers... new tech is useless. My babbage engine is going strong and I can read the story...... this is what happens when you migrate to new tech
In this case it is not about posters. The fact is that the so called reviewer must be an advance programmed bot. Websites normally do this stuff to promote goods. All you can do about it to be careful. Whenever buying a product read reviews on multiple sites.. ask friends and so forth. I dunno but does anybody know of a law or something against such wrong frivolous postings. Obviously this is a breach of advertising conduct
It looks like VA Software doesn't want to devote any resources to ANY of their projects. That would explain why SF had to run on reject hardware and why/. can hire someone to be an editor/dup checker.
Looks like you need new spectacles.. your current ones seem to be on flame;-)
The concept of storing wind energy for future use has been there for long. It was the practicality that eluded. And this contraption also dosent look so practical.
IMHO, the best way to use such a device is to use it to generate electricty... instead of walking. The coastel areas and deserts have an amazing amount of wind energy. If only the rulers wake up and spend money on these non-conventional sources rather than bigger bombs.
These are the most beautiful images i have ever seen. kinda makes me want to go to those places... esp the fjords. Seriously, the beauty nature has cant be paralled by any manmade thing. Many will differ.. but this is what I think.
For those of you who enjoy nature..... and nature pics just go to google and then advanced image search and then wallpaper sized. Put in things like landscape... trees... starts.. hubble and you will see wonders.
The first time I saw hubble telescope pics i was dumbstruck that things so beautiful could exist.... now I realize they exist on our own earth. yes my friends there is more to life than slashdot;-)
Funny information isnt it... moderators repeat after me: I wont have crack early in morning,
I wont have crack early in morning,
I wont have crack early in morning,

Spammers have web sites. And they live in homes. Cant we go and spam their homes, for example ring the bell at 3am in morning and ask them to pay licensing fee. U know I have put a notice board on my phone line that any unsolicited mail coming through this wire... which is my property has to pay me 100$. So how do I collect this fee?

This page talks about an abundant source of biodiesel. Esp nice for countries which have warm climates.
"Stare at Live Query long enough, and you feel that you are watching the collective consciousness of the world stream by. "
Its amazing that most people of the world search for similar things, irrespective of language! Good they put filters.... otherwise a normal visitor would be shocked that most of the world wants naked ladies.
US govt is accused of human right violations because it makes dollars which are used to buy ammunitions which are used by dictatorships to terrorize people......
The argument is similar. If cisco, MS had actually developed a software tailor made for censorship and human right violations, for example lets say it made a software and an eye reader which identifies the ethnicity of the subject and gave it rights according to that.. then it would be a violatio, however if they have an off the shelf tool I doubt that AI has a substantiative argument.
Prosecuting technology is not an option. This will set a bad precedent too. But I dont really expect much from amnesty international, they have a very weird sense of rights.
The only problem is, India's IT sector seems permanently wedded to Microsoft. However, if the new generation can grow up exposed to BSD and Linux and understand that MS isn't always the best option, then maybe some much-needed competition on the desktop will finally develop on a global scale.
No permanent wedding here. Yes there are microsoft lovers and *nix lovers in indian IT. And I dont know for what reason media coverage is goven mostly to MS lovers.... but the ratio is balanced. Companies in CRM, ERM etc are wedded to M$ as their clients in US/Europe are. However go towards IC design, Networking, embedded software the wedding is with *nix... some linux and much solaris.
As far as the upcoming generation, the top rated colleges have LAN's built on linux. I passed out in '01... and we were fed on a linux and solaris diet. The professors, lecturers.. esp the senior folks are very strong advocates of linux coz in the 80's when ernet(out sorf of college internet) came up it was entirely on unix. 8Kbps of blazing speed and mail could be sent within 24 hours. It was a miracle;-). So I would not worry too much about it. India has been late in linux no doubt.. but we will soon catch up.
Gates 100 Mil. has had little effect on tech industry. The basic mindset of ours goes in against gates;-).
Its like this. We indians avoid buying things on credit... and we always try to save and we are very very very cost consious. Not all but most. So as long as people get a free WIN XP from the local computer assembler thats good, if they dont they will not take it. We will chose linux, rather than spending money. As far as IT professionals go we are sick and tired of bribery. Newspapers in india are calling it a bribe. And yes we are watching. There is inherent distrust of M$. So things will go on. Moreover the cream of indian IT students have spent most if not all of their college life(IIT's and REC's here) under *nix based platforms. We grew up in microsoft cursing drunken parties;-). So the sway will be minimal. Yes Gates has captured hearts but he hasnt captured my heart yet... and this I can say for many other IT professionals also. Life will go on as it is.
could it be possible that countries who are more open source avare and benefit less from proprietary software would introduce laws which restrict the possibilities for proprietary software, just as some laws already restrict open source software in countries which benefit more from proprietary software.
No.. and yes. The simple reason that open source software is about freedom. Its like saying that the countries having military dictatorship stifle democracy, and contries with freedom will stifle military dictatorship. In a nutshell, if the proprietry model licensing model is one of clutches... then it stands to lose, however if the model is less restrictive then of course it will thrive. Their are many proprietry softwares out there which dont tend to lock you up and leave you with no other option.
I wonder who modded you up. early morning crack maybe. Seriously if some bigger issues are there it does not mean that everything else is ignored. Yes US plans to iraq so forget your rights. Forget your amenities...
And this is not the right to copy Harry potter. This is about freedom. Freedom to use something I bought the way I bought it. Yes, If I buy a CD and then copy it and sell it, put me in jail... thats the law and it is correct. what is wrong is that I have paid 500 Rs(10 $$) for a CD and I cannot listen it on my PC, or I cannot listen it on my favorite car CD player. As for the madness of iraq..... its a legacy bush inherited from his father and I dont think slashdotters can do anything
hmm.. most of the laptop sales are directed towards business users. I doubt a laptop geared for gaming will sell that much. So in a way the test is good. Take a mainstream laptop, the kind most people will buy and then see wether it performs. Moreover many people get laptops on a temporary basis from the place they work, now a company will by the latest dell, but wont buy a laptop for gaming, right?
Well not yet, but when WLAN picks up is would be nice. Imaging waiting for a flight, you scan and find 3 other people running a QUAKE3 on WLAN, and join in.
But only one problem battery. Yea unless we have long battery lives this wont really do. Most laptop owners will use it for gaming when they have spare battery life. So if we have 20 hour battery backup, which dosent burn you then maybe yes!
One mans crap is anothers holy grail,
