The most amazing part for me is that there seems to be no steering mechanism for this rocket. The fact that this was machined so well to withstand those speeds, maintain proper telemetry and not spin out of control/crash to earth, etc. is a testament to the builders. With that type of airflow, any slight imperfection in the fins would have made this a very short or nausea inducing video. Instead we get to view beautiful images of the planet we live in.
I also have both running and kept up to date with Firefox versions, and I have never run into this issue. So the question is, could it have been an older version of Firefox that was caught? That is a valid security concern. Of course the message should have been to patch it instead of remove it. Let's use a little bit of scientific method here and give stats so we can all reproduce the problem if there is one.
Lets filter all the water before it reaches the ocean. No one or thing should be allowed to add water to the ocean unless it is filtered. And lets do somthing about this air polution as well...
If Linus's reputation is being harmed by patently false and uncorroborated information for the sake of selling books, does that allow him to sue for slander? If so, any lawyers want to take up this case? Brown is getting a lot of free publicity, and other than the messages on slashdot, I don't see articles on CNET or eweek etc. taking up the other side of the story. A lawsuit would shed light on the book's information gathering practices, or lack thereof.
Isn't 64M still too big?

We were using browsers on computers that only had 16M on memory. Perhaps I'm just ignorant of new browser requirements. I understand that the entire device OS and application code would have to reside in the same 64M space, and you won't have a nice disk in which to cache pages for faster viewing, but if you're only going to be caching text and the occasional small image, how much space do you need? What is the smallest footprint in which to use for a browser?
Every Time you look up something in the yellow pages DIRECTORY, you see lots of ads for competitors as well. Guess what, the person who paid the most gets the biggest ad! This is a business you get what you paid for. AXA didn't pay anything to Google, they should not have any expectations on how they get ranked or who else shows up on a search results page. If Google was a part of their marketing model, then they should pay then some money and get an ad.
Bush: Hey we're going to the Moon and Mars!!
NASA: Great, we get more money?
Bush: No scrap all the programs that you have currently. Don't know you that we plan on teaching the kids that the Great Lakes are only 10,000 years old and the Grand Canyon was created by God not the Colorodo River?? Who needs this Telescope thing seeing into the past. It can't be working right, The universe is only 10-20,000 tyears old.
In other words, it's not a democrat vs. republican things. It's Science vs. the religous right. Good going to the Dems to stop the steamrolling shutdown of good science!
I love it when they develop new technologies and say that this will be for used drug enforcement first. That makes everyone feel safe. No one likes drugs. But don't you wonder what other spectrum signatures they already have researched? Is it safe on humans? What did you have for lunch this morning?
I agree, Ask for a good amount, but don't go overboard. The last think you want is for them to say: "Well for that money, I'll get another programmer to do it in house"
Hidden on the bottom of the article was a comment on a good policy. I have SNET DSL. The forum for them:
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/ilec,snet
is an amazing community of users and Authorized(!!!) Tech people who help solve most every problem. We had an issue 2 months ago where all of us started getting slow bandwidth. None of the tech support people we called could find problems, but by gathering together and posting trace route's, ping tests, bandwidth test results, we were able to show SNET the problem (it wasn't showing up on network diagnostics) and help them trace it to a router that got new software installed and was screwing things up. Imagine that, the users and technical support coming together to figure out a problem. The end result: everyone was back to normal bandwidth, and the company looks great. Satisfied customers, what a concept!
Let's say you wanted to buy software at the store, or a download site. Let's say then that you read the EULA and didn't agree with it. Will the stores accept the software back with a full refund? Right now, I think not. Are you therefore stuck with the software that you don't want to use but can't return? Can you then sell it since you didn't agree to the EULA? Either the software needs to be fully refundable, or the EULA has to be seen and agreed upon BEFORE the purchase of said software. Perhaps if the software companies were made by law to post their EULA's up front before purchase, they wouldn't be so bold as to sneak nasty things in when they know you are about to agree anyways.
Slashdot Mirror
The current one is not wide enough for desktop use. I don't want to have the Kinect 10 feet away from me. It's got to be 3 feet from me.

Wouldn't this alone melt the plastic if you used it for any hevay duty amperage? What is the limit for the current before it starts a total meltdown?

How can you differentiate between computations , when the CPU is at 100% utilization all the time? :)

I'm sorry, but I don't download somthing that I can't see. I mean, at least some screen shots or a demo of how it will work. How can you trust this?
