Solar panel farms aren't risk-free places. High-current DC shocks can be very nasty - you get just a bolt at first, but it can start blood electrolysis and you die few days later.
Couple of random reasons: The material seems to be very expensive, AFAICS $200 per kg of resin vs ~$20 per kg of ABS. The hardware, software *and* the resin seems to be proprietary. And it didn't materialize yet, you can't get one so far.
(Also, I'm not sure about the resin properties, i.e. if they are as good as the plastic.)
The fact is, for many simple items the current resolution is doing just fine. And if you don't need to produce large quantities or aren't in a big hurry, taking time may not be an issue since you can just let it print and go do something else.

Bazaar pretty much evolved from GNU Arch, though it is of course a very different beast now and there is AFAIK no shared code - but the developers migrated there from a GNU Arch branch and they took some ideas with them, so it still can be seen as a spiritual successor.:-)
So, why not just have a public database of LSNs and have them run extended ident service? (I.e., you supply it with local-remote port pair and it will tell you the IPv6 address of the NAT'd peer. Then you just use that for the peer identification from then on.)
The best I know is GNU XaoS. It can do real-time zooming (it did fine even on my old P133!) and features plenty of settings and fractal equations. I know there are perhaps better programs nowadays that let you easily write custom equations, scripts for 3D fractals and whatnot, but AFAIK none is free and/or supports Linux well.
And Score:4, Insightful? Of course the GP _was_ talking about patterns within the Game of Life itself.

OpenSSL 1.0.0 Released

Actually, if your library version is the same as project release version, the numbering scheme matters very much, since it's well-defined in the UNIX (or at least ELF?) environment - for version a.b, all a.x versions must be ABI forward-compatible: if it runs with 1.0, it must also run with 1.1; if it runs with 1.1, it might not run with 1.0 (usually, a third number is added for non-ABI-changing updates). Traditionally, if you don't want to guarantee ABI compatibility just yet, you use a=0.
You could say the "mistake" OpenSSL might have done is tying its shared library version with the project release version (which is not really neccessary)....or taking so long to start guaranteeing ABI compatibility, since not having it is a royal PITA.
Yes, I think if you are self-taught, you are already great at the practical matters (probably including stuff like design patterns), but you might get in trouble when trying to devise effective algorithms and data structures for a particular problem that might not be difficult _technically_, but computionally quite so.
It's important to have a basic concept of time/space complexity (the O-notation) and understand at least couple of basic algorithms (my picks from the whole spectrum would be QuickSort, depth-first/breath-first searches, Dijkstra graph search, Knuth-Morris-Pratt string search, and Minimax/alpha-beta pruning) and data structures (linked lists, basic kinds of hashes, heaps - you are probably familiar with all of those). You should find all of the algorithms above (and their complexity!) obvious and quite trivial to have a good understanding of algorithmization.
Oh, thanks a lot! I was not aware of that one, actually.
Now it's just not clear to me why the recent depression was more like the 1920 Depression (short) than like the 1929 Depression (long and painful)...
Your comment makes absolute sense if "By fall 1921 the depression was over." held true, but I can't even begin to comprehend what could you possibly mean by that. The Black Friday happened in October 1929. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Depression
I've never done anything really big in assembler but I'd say cwd is somewhat obscure thing, poor kid.:) I'd rather check if they understand what and how lea does, or some basic non-obvious test stuff.

NAT64 actually does not solve that, it concerns only the IPv6->IPv4 part, not vice versa. A more general mechanism NAT-PT has been proposed at the dawn of IPv6, but its status has been changed to historic by RFC4966 as it turns out that this is not really easy to get right.
Will ffmpeg really be used on Windows and OSX? Anyway, if you use the standard platform interface, (i) you won't have to care about having all the obscure codecs (ii) you will not have to ship the codecs with firefox, which is very important for the patent stuff - you are offloading the responsibility to the vendor, and linux distributions already came up with plenty of solutions for this kind of problem (be it special licences or repositories in patent-safe countries).
I don't know a whole lot about HTML5 video tag, but I don't think you can use the existing plugins too easily, since in case of <video> you have to give the surrounding javascript the abilities to fully control the playback, draw the controls, etc. But I don't understand why don't they do some plugins API extension for this either, my suspicion is that the developers might still largely live within the mindset of trying to standardize on a single fixed format which was what they originally strived for.
Rebind it to something else. I use a keyboard layout that makes capslock a diacritics shift key (capslock+e is comma-e, etc.) - alt-capslock still behaves like the usual capslock. (Google 'ucwcs' if you care.)
