You can always open the bottle on a table's edge. Hold the crown cap on the edge and hit on it with your palm. May leave some scratches on the table. You can also use your eye socket as an opener, but some people watching this may be offended. May produce some scratches under your eye-brow. You can also use a coiled up magazine as a lever. They are a lot of ways to open the bottle.
One year after starting my job I got all the symptoms mentioned. I have to sit in front of the computer all the day (>8hrs). I had pains in my shoulders, neck, and lower back, I had eyestrain, and my index finger hurt from using the scroll wheel (that's why a 1-button-mouse is a good thing:-). I also developed some neurotic behavior including anxiety (9/11 helped much to make things worse:-(), and I didn't like the job very much, also the colleagues and the whole environment is really great - also the job is easy and well paid.
I coped with it mostly by doing one thing: sports. Since I go to the gym 3 times a week, everything went back to normal. No pain, no fear.
Rules are derived logically from some undeniable basis (not axioms), that self-referentially proves itself. One of these fundamental rules is the fact that all decisions are based on binary logic. Assuming that it could be based on e.g. ternary logic would lead to the question how to decide which of the three values are to choose.
Thus, moral is derived logically and aske only whether a rule would be right or wrong, not good or bad. A rule can be right, but bad to all people. But this shouldn't matter, people should obey this rule, regardless if it's bad for them to follow it. Bad or good are attributes based on emotions or goals to achieve. Moral/ethics is not about achieving goals, but all about logic.
You mentioned Longshine, well I have an Ethernet card from Longshine. It's a Chinese manufacturer which for some time had an internet site in English. Looks like they don't have it anymore. You can just choose beetween traditional or simplified Chinese:-(
To understand modern physics a deep understanding of quantum mechanics (QM) is absolutely neccessary and that means you have to do MATHS! Without computing some problems with your own brain cells a lot of the important structure of QM will be hidden. Not one of the popular book on this topic, be it Hawking, Penrose, Barrow, or else, can explain this, because - well, because the structure lies in the mathematical form itself. You can't translate this in layman's terms. No, you can't.
Also, you can't determine the limits of QM without knowing what maths is used for it. And to explore far more advanced topics like QED, QCD, or even Super Strings and M-Theory, you should be aware, that the underlying maths is far more advanced, too.
"Principles of Quantum Mechanics" (2nd Ed.) by Ramamurti Shankar is a good introductory textbook. If you worked through it, and solved all the exercises, you will have a good understanding of classic quantum mechanics.
You can't understand a subject without actually studying it - and by studying I mean studying as you would for an university exam.
Price dropped to 249 (from 299) in Germay last week. 479 was just in the first few weeks. Sales were so low MS had to cut the price nearly in half now.
They always want it the cheapest way. Instead of buying a new Mac wit a Supderdrive, they try to upgrade they old crumpy machines to save some bucks. Man, an eMac with DVD burner is just $1.499. Don't hold to your money, give it away to Apple, they deserve it (and desperately need it). I mean that's only around $1.000 more than an external drive. What are $1.000 for those, who consider Macs anyway. And what's this with iDVD, don't you get some software with your drive to author DVDs?
Well, I can tell you, we used to play in the the woods or at the river from age 6, being miles away from home until sunset. That was fun, and our parents knew we would come back in time for dinner. Parents should trust their children.
Didn't he said that the next generation chip (NV3x) could render Shrek/Final-Fantasy-quality images at 30fps? That would be pretty amazing, because the studios needed a rendering time of 10-100 minutes for *one* frame.
Here's a link to what he said (in german): http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/anw-25.07.02-0 07
It's once again one of those long german words, which will sound very, very funny, when spoken by a foreigner. Like "Fahrvergnügen".
If I had some money left, I would go there, but it's all spent on an iBook. Hmm, that's not running Linux...
So, I will announce an upcoming event for 2003. The "Apfelbierwanderung" or Apple Beer Hike. Look out. Maybe I can get some apple beer in Belgium, they already make some tasty cherry beer.
Well, NEXTSTEP's GUI was brilliant from the beginning. You got version 1.0 in 1989 and the last release 4.2 (then OPENSTEP) in 1996/7, I think. In these 7/8 years the GUI didn't change that much. Same outlay, same icons. It "only" got better apps and admin tools (and the underlying Unix got some refreshes, also). So there wasn't much trial and error. In general, they got it right from the beginning.
This distro looks great. Last year I tried to achieve the same doing it myself. You know, installing a stripped down RH with WindowMaker and then adding as many NEXTish apps as possible. Thanks for the link.
If you are desperate for reading the book and just can't stand until it's in your bookstore, try amazon. They have _122_ sample pages. This should be enough for the beginning.
And what about Solaris? No Volume Manager by default, you have to buy one from Veritas. No decent graphical admin tool for newbies (like HP-UX's SAM or AIX's SMIT). And what's this with home directories being in/export/home? HP-UX has some strong HA software in MC/Service Guard, where SUN's clustering is crap (but their partitioning is very nice, a feature only recently introduced to HP-UX). If you really want a clean UNIX, stick with the BSDs. The commercial ones are all somewhat of a mess.
For both UNIX flavors there are contracts to be fulfilled, but since HP-UX has a far larger customer base, it looks very likely that True64 is going the way of the Dodo.
What's wrong with the Stern-Gerlach experiment? It was done in 1922 with equipment that isn't very expensive today. I've done both the Stern-Gerlach and the Michelson-Morley experiment at the university and the equipment looked like it was the original. I think both can be easily reconstructed in school (and I think every university's physics department has it somewhere in the lab).
>It seemed at the time (though I do not recall any official announcement) that the intent was to port HP-UX to Itanium
You can buy Itanium-based systems pre-loaded with HP-UX 11.20 (on Itanium aka Merced) and 11.22 (on Itanium2 aka McKinley) from HP. Just visit the online shop.
The desktop business is interesting, and the printer business is where the BIG money comes in, especially printer ink supply.
PA-RISC is going to put to rest. 8900 will be the last PA-RISC CPU (currently it's 8700), then Itanium will take over completely. Same will happen to Alpha.
There are some contracts to fulfill regarding VMS, but that does not mean there will be an emphasis on this OS. True64Unix will be phased out in favor of HP-UX, which MAY be replaced by Linux sometime in the future.
The Compaq brands that will go on are the Intel stuff (ProLiants, notebooks) and handhelds. How the PCs are branded is unclear.
But if you look carefully on the page, you see that the price for the *old* 667MHz PowerBook was $2999 and it's $2499 for the *new* one with all the extra features. I consider this a big drop in price. It's only that the "cheap" 550MHz machine isn#t available anymore.
Isn't this one of the implication of the experiment'S results? The standard model forbids neutrino oscillation, so if they have confirmed that, a large part of a very successful theory of the last 30 years has to be rewritten.
Apart from being a programmer's toy, the old question has to be asked. Why do we need another Unix Desktop? No, choice is *not* always good. it can be overwhelming and a waste of time to evaluate all those choices. Go program something new.

$19.95 at the Apple store. Description says explicitly that the software requires an built-in Apple SuperDrive.

HP spun off the test/medical equip division into a seperate company. Visit www.agilent.com.
