If, a few years from now, a new jet is produced that produces an insignificant sonic boom, and flights between non-US cities are successful, you can bet some billionaire somewhere will pay enough money to someone in the right position to amend the law so they can get where they need to be when they want to be there.
You're right. I wasn't proposing that this is a replacement for MS Project. All I'm saying is that I'm glad there's some focus on project management and I'm hoping for more!
MS Project is NOT bug free; not even close. I would venture to guess that MS Project has more bugs than IE. It's non-intuitive also.
I, for one, am glad to see this project get moving. I'd love to see open-source and closed source projects get real project managers using real project management software.
Actually, IPV6 will help with this in a very odd way.
I think IP addresses now are short enough that they can be memorized, copied into applications, and that sort of thing. The domain name space is so clogged already that you end out with some 64-character domain names. In that case, I'd rather type a maximum of 15 characters than the 64-character name.
With IPV6, the names become a lot longer. I'm not as crazy about typing something like 2001:470:1F01:134::1 or fe80::20d:87ff:fe54:5454, so I'd probably use DNS.
Phone numbers are used directly, so people don't want them to change. IP addresses are not supposed to be used directly. The fact that people use them directly is likely to change when IPV6 becomes more widely deployed.
You can never prove that something does not exist. If we wait for "proof" that there is no living thing on Mars, we might as well never start. You can only be sure up to some level of certainty. Making that call is what might be difficult.
I agree that there is not much performance loss in writes, but there is still SOME performance loss. This is particularly true when you use two drives with different specs. The faster drive is going to have to wait for the slower one. Or if the drives are different sizes and you use some portion of the other drive for something.
Raid 1 is the safest.. just mirroring the drives, but it results in no speed increase..
This is actually not true. There is a reduction in performance for writes (twice as much data must go through the bus), but if you primarily do reads, the load is supposed to be divided among the two drives. You don't need to read from both drives to verify the data is correct!
Since most webservers are mostly-read and some-writes, you often see good gains with RAID 1.
The problem with this type of trial is that the jurors are not aware of what they are supposed to be doing. They are supposed to be using their conscience, not "jury instructions".
Check out this site about jury nullification. The real questions the jury should be answering are: "does the law make sense", not "is it legal or not". The job of deciding whether it is legal or not has already been decided by the prosecution and the judge before they picked a jury. --
Back in the days of the first Sears catalog, you would buy ONE item, and it was hard to get it to you (sometimes you had to wait weeks for it) and hard to repair (if it broke, the nearest repair person may have been across the country). So, people focused on quality.
Now, if my CD writer dies, I just go buy another one, and I'm out only a few $10 bills. I don't care (as much) about quality. If my CD writer works for two years, I'm happy.
Also, look at WalMart. They don't usually stock high quality items -- they go for the lowest prices possible (watch out for falling prices). Their whole business model is based on having the lowest price anywhere. This is very appealing to most consumers.
At ebay, you can often find good deals. Sure, the items are used, and since most things made today are made as cheaply as possible, it might fall apart.
I think as long as ebay realizes they are a "low price leader" like WalMart, they will continue to have success.
Your while loop might be fine for some files, but try actually putting a tab, comma, or oversized value in your data file and then you have to standardize on an escape sequence. So much for your while loop and simple regular expression.
How exactly would you use your "human-readable" text format to store name/jpg pairs?
I'm not saying text files have no place, but if you think they are the "solution for all life's problems" then you're wrong.
I agree. This happened on a book that plagerized confidential forum posts that is sold on Amazon.com. Obviously, the publisher or the author just had them removed, and now the book has a 4 1/2 star rating!

I'm not sure what country you are from, but in order to get a street address and receive mail in the US, you usually DO have to pay. Usually it is bundled in a grading and excavation permit, and that can be as cheap as $100 or as much as several thousand, depending on what exactly you are putting at the address. Counties are free to make up their own pricing structure for this.
Here's a paper describing the positive effects of nicotine. Since cancer generally takes 20-30 years from the time you start smoking, if you're around 50 or 60 years old, the positive effects of starting to smoke outweigh the negative effects, although the studies aren't complete yet.
Some doctors have considered prescribing nicotine as a cure for a variety of ailments, including schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, attention deficit disorder and colitis.
This is RedHat 10. I don't have any idea WHY they didn't just call it RedHat 10 and keep the community involvement. It is clearly a descendent of RH 9, and it supports automatic upgrades from earlier releases of RedHat automatically.
What I find interesting is the way in which the "announcement" was made. The ISOs were really avaialable last night, if you knew where to look. Their website still points at the old "severn" stuff. Unless you happened to be on ICQ, you'd find out about it through slashdot.
I wonder if the slow delay helps improve download responsiveness?
One does not take down a community on no notice, just because there's some heated discussion. They spend all this time building a community, people probably have friends there, and POOF! Suddenly, everyone else has to scramble to find someplace else to meet.
Corporate sponsors or not, if there is a large community (as they claim), plans must be made to shut it down.
Well, I don't like this wildcard thing but for a different reason.
Here is where your analogy breaks. What if, when you called a disconnected number, you got an automated service that would look up the correct number for you, and it didn't cost you anything?
I think the real problem with this has to do with the point an earlier poster made. The internet is NOT "port 80 for browsers". Are they going to offer some service when I mistype this command: "ssh xunifyx.com" and offer to connect me to the right host? Of course not!
The Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) has claimed this has violated their trademark. "This element has many things in common with Sulphur, Carbon and Oxygen, which is clearly our trademark (SCO)" says Darl McBride, president and CEO of SCO.
"Anyone who attempts to name this element is also in violation of our IP, which we intend to call Scoium".
Open source advocates are suggesting a name of "SiCO" because they think it has more in common with Silicon than Sulphur, besides the obvious reason.

I wonder if this is some sort of illusion from being in space all this time. Maybe it's some sort of subconscious "go home" message?
