How about asking the folks on your block if they'd be interested in trying to get City Hall to replace the streetlights with something better so your kids can see the stars at night.
As I mentioned elsewhere. In Tucson, if you want street lamps in your neighborhood, you have to pay for them. Plus they have to be full cutoff lamps.
There are no street lamps in my neighborhood or in the surrounding neighborhoods.
Unless you're going to say that seeing the stars regularly is good for our mental health because it's part of our original environment or lack of stars-sight makes us vulnerable to cancer,
I live in Tucson. We solved it by a combination of strict lighting laws and lack of funds. There are absolutely no street lamps in my neighborhood, and I can see the Milky Way from my backyard.
Reverse engineering isn't illegal. Sure it may violate someone's EULA.. so maybe somewhere in Palm there's an engineer who's not allowed to run iTunes anymore.
That's pretty incredible, since the times when the days are the same length as the nights (we call the equinoxes where I come from, not sure what they're called in Arizona) are only 182 days apart, traditionally.
Atmospheric refraction means that, even on the equator, day is 14 minutes longer than night during the equinoxes. The difference is even greater as you move toward the poles.

Really, if we distill this sentence just a little more, we'll have 190 proof comments!
That's not really a fair comparison. SF and San Jose are in the *same* metro area.
Not only that, but SF and San Jose can fit inside Phoenix. Might as well compare CalTrain with Phoenix's bus system.
You're talking about a single metro area with 7 million people. You can't compare that with a 4.5 million person metro area and a 1.2 million person metro area with 100 miles of nothing in between them.
This doesn't need to be cheaper than driving. Anyone who's made the drive can tell you that they'd pay double not to have to make that drive.
The Arizona Shuttle is probably the cheapest way to get from Tucson to Phoenix without driving yourself. It costs $32.99 a person if you book early, $42.99 same day.. and that's only one way.
Average car gets 20 mpg, which means it costs about 18 bucks to make that drive, one way.
Charge $30 a person and you'd still have people lining up.
Note also that you need to be able to handle generating that power in winter also, when you have rather fewer than 12 hours of sunlight per day, even ignoring weather.
It's not that bad. We're talking about Arizona here. There are more than 12 hours of sunlight 194 days of the year. The shortest day is 9 hours, 55 minutes. The longest day is 14 hours, 22 minutes.
Slashdot Mirror
ax.itunes.apple.com and a1457.phobos.apple.com both resolve to IP space belonging to Akamai, and nmap -O says that they're both running Linux.
Akamai can run WebObjects applications on linux.
As the meme says:
Netcraft confirms it:
http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=http://ax.search.itunes.apple.com
The iTunes store runs on Linux.
Versus Rob Weir being a known paid anti-ooxml shill from IBM?
The iTunes store uses Akamai. So it uses Linux, not OSX at all.

That's exactly what they're saying.

The DMCA has exceptions for interoperability.
iTunes isn't done until Pre won't run?
The only thing more sickening than Apple's anti-competitive tactics is their users cheering them on.
So did you save this comment on your computer before you posted it to slashdot?
Yup. If Windows 3.1 was an OS, if GEOS was an OS, then firefox can be an OS.
If HR is actually conducting interviews, instead of just vetting resumes, then something has gone seriously wrong at your company.
What's funny is that MS already did that.. you can't test for truth of a non boolean in C#.
So unless sizetocopy is a boolean, the compiler will error out on that statement.
Actually, memmove is banned. It has been replaced with memmove_s.
Neither does memcpy_s.
This does the exact same thing as memcpy_s:
#define memcpy_s(d,dn,s,sn) memcpy(d,s,(dn)<(sn)?(dn):(sn))
So what happens when dest is a pointer to the middle of an array?
Odds are that everyone will just take memcpy(dest,src,n); and change it to memcpy_s(dest,n,src,n);

Why are you assuming $10 a day per person?

Actually, the refresh rate is directly related to the frame rate.
Due to interlacing, a 60 Hz refresh rate gives you a 30 fps frame rate. Although with NTSC it's actually 59.94 Hz and 29.97 frame rate.
