Most stupid idea at my sense. First of all, that's a waste of resources to build and sell a large number of systems to convert food to ethanol, it is better to make it in large scale plants. Second, it encourage people to waste resources by giving them the impression they can be self-sufficient rather than ecouraging a global plan to save energy and burn less fuel. And third, I don't think this can be a money-wise viable choice.
I am using black on white in terminal windows. The only reason you are accustomed, and I was too, to the green on black, amber on black is terminal manufacturers were building terminals to display a bright font on a dark screen to save phosphor and lengthen the terminal life. This has nothing to do with ergonomic design.
I believe the choice of font is as important as the background/foreground colors.
Well, is it particularily necessary to do something with it for the moment?
After discovering the basic principle of electromagnetic induction in 1831, Michael Faraday was asked by a skeptical politician what good might come of electricity. "Sir, I do not know what it is good for," Faraday replied. "But of one thing I am quite certain - someday you will tax it."
Well, this raises the question of the proof that must be made first nations are actually sovereign in there airspace concerning the radio-waves. This airspace must be occupied, colonized or at least they must prove they can block the cellular signals over their lands if they want to enforce this question.
That's a "Stop me if you can!" question. You cannot claim sovereignty over a territory you cannot occupied. Regarding the airspace, they surely can fire ground-air missiles at airplanes to enforce soveignity in that sense, but it won't hurt the cellular radio signal. I don't see any reason they should get some revenues from using this space for such purpose.
I believe they became extincted when the RedBaronsaurus came to life as the next evolution step with its Fokker triplane wings and kill them all for feeding itself. Eventually, while the stocks declined the RedBaronsaurus just died.
"Fortress is proposing a language to automate that scaling."
I beg your pardon, if we need to use and learn a specific language to take advantage of the multicore technology, it is mainly because it is not automatic.
So, I guess learning the language itself is only part of the problem. The other one will be to be able to identify by hand what can take advantage of the multi-cores and how.
I don't see were there is a big advantage to use this language for the users, maybe Sun is seeing much advantages to it for writing a backend, but right now it's only smoke.
However, there is so many anonymously ways to kill someone, I am just wondering why Putin would have chosen this one making sure it would be possible to trace back polonium-210 origin to Russian installations. He should be unsane or there is something else which is not well understood at this point of the story.
There is the possibility Putin choose this method because he wants all other candidates for the same treatment to be well awared he would not hesitate to eliminate them. However, this is not particularily clever on a political standpoint since it is just crediting the accusations against him and his government. I think he is clever, so, I still think there is something else, but I don't know what, sorry.
However, this is a very nice news, so, we can continue for another 125 years to heat-up this little chilly planet and make sure everyone will eventually get toasted.
In the 1970s, mainframes were hard to work with. You had to be good to get anywhere at all. Nowadays, it is far easier for an idiot to use a computer.
It's not only mainframes were hard to work with, you also have to squeeze out every bit from it and every clock cycle. Today, you can easily add more memory, cpu and disk for almost nothing to any computer. So, a badly written application, sub-optimal system can be made working about right just throwing hardware at it. Something like trashputing instead of computing. Management methods have also suffered from this way of thinking. Why should I monitor a system if I can just add more disks, memory, cpu and make everything redundant? Believe it or not, I have see this kind of shops. In crash post-mortem they never ever asked themselves if they should have monitored something in first place in order to prevent the problem. They analyze the problem and buy more hardware to solve it.
After the 911, there was a new political issues section which was opened on/. for the purpose of discussing this kind of issue. Given the number of posts to date, seems to me this topic have some kind of place here.
BTW,/. is not limited to USA, I am not an American and I am not living in USA and I am a/. afficionado. And I am sure I am not alone.
Well, I never noticed/. was "Linux news for nerds". And, most of the stuff reported here comes from other sites and things you can read elsewhere on the web. I don't understand your reasoning./. should only be about original stories never ever published elsewhere before?
Greenhouse effect, global change climat, oil crisis, OS/X, nanotechnologies, sky-elevator, etc. All these have nothing to do with Linux and can be read about elsewhere.
I believe Saddam must be executed. It must be clear to his supporters there is no chance at all I could once a day be back as the Iraq President. And the page must be turn once and for all on his presidency. Everyone will have to look forward.
Saddam must be bring to death, not only for his crimes, but for what he represents as well.
And a guy who hides in a rat-hole while his country is under the fire of ennemies and believe he represents the country doesn't deserve any respect. I don't know how such a wimpy president can be turned into a martyr otherwise than by unsane reasoning.
The web was built up on the need to make easily accessible complex documentation using a markup language and hypertext links at first.
Because the browser gave the impression the easy access to documents means the browser is a one-size fits all solution to every content, everywhere many peoples dedicated most of the last 10 years to fill holes to make it behave like the client-server applications already existing just before the web tsunami hit the IT world.
I'm not sure it is really less trouble to program and interactive decent client-server application with the web interface then without it.
Still using my PIII 750MHz 256MB laptop with Linux, Gnome, Firefox, Abiword, Gnumeric, Acrobat reader and few others without any problem.
Todays computers are so powerful, even OS developers are seeking at new things they can include in the OS to waste CPU and memory resources to provide eye-candies.

What is the point to argument on the guy rather than on the rational? Should we understand you have no more arguments than doing a personal attack?
Anyway, I hate to be told how a story ends before it actually ends.

However, in a democracy, the government's agenda mostly match people's agenda as well.

Knowing the best defense is attack, they are in fact still honest.

Did you ever programmed for real? Or you are just using some kind of tool which is generating the code for you?
And how long these cells are useful? After how much time they need to be replaced? Depends on irradiation or any other factors?
