The point of linked libraries is to only have one version in ram at the same time, disk space isn't really an issue. I think this system would (should..) only be used in cases where a problem arises, not as a hammer seeing every program installation as a nail. I know that in my use of windows over the past year this issue hasn't caused many problems, so in theory this dll registry system would only have to come alive from time to time.
In short, yes. I don't see where the big inconvenience lies. My laptop is useless te me now because the battereis hold very little charge after a year of use, with the fuel cell this wouldn't be an issue.
Kyoto's not going to do anything except slow down the process. It's a simple fact, we are using resources faster than they are being resupplied. In 75> years there will be no oil left, in 125> years there will be no coal, so there goes over 60% of the world's source of electricity in a century. So there's nuclear and natural gas etc. But those still have side effects like waste, CO2, large amounts of heat, and won't last forever either. Unless we go back to being cavemen and turn off cars and lights and everything else for good, we can't stay here forever.
(Numbers are by memory, don't really feel the need to source them, the argument is still the same either way.)
So we can learn more about space travel, like long term effects etc. Learn about a new planet, what it might take to live there. Sure we can study that from here, (and we do), but there are limits on that. Plus, we can work towards getting out of the solar system and maybe find a new place to live when we pollute/destroy/heat/exploit resources too much to live here any more.
Instant messaging is popular, in part, because IM software tells you which of your friends are online waiting to chat. This concept, formally known as
``presence,'' will be extended to all forms of electronic communication.
How does having such a large lossless file give us more freedom? Ok, it might sound better, but it's impracticaly for everyone who doesn't live in a colleg dorm (read: most people). Does this make us realistically more free (not fundamentally moreso) then say, 256 kbit ogg's?
By sharing music, are we really showing record companies they don't need to exist, or are we showing them they need to tighten the reigns on people sharing music so they can top off their profit margin?
This year at the Univ. of Guelph, they setup similar packet shaping systems for the oncampus network. Traffic going through port 80 gets highest priority, everything else is extremely limited. So, essentially no on-line games either. It makes sense, since the majority of students don't play online games and p2p is a huge drain on a large system.
The University of Western Ontario has seen the problem here also, and are now developing OWGO, which is a filesharing app for the internal network.
In any case, mp3voyeur can be used to search a windows network for goodies.
Not necessarily. Gravitational pull is proportional to mass, drag is proportional to area. Mass grows at 3rd power, area at 2nd power. Therefore smaller objects fall more slowly in an atmosphere.
Wha? Gravitational force (in this case between earth and a meteorite) is (Fg) = G(me)(mm) / r^2
if i recall.
me=mass earth
mm=mass meteorite
r=displacement
So potential energy grows linearly to mass, not to the 3rd order as you suggest. Acceleration of the meteorite can be written, a = (Fg)/(mm).
Or.. a = G(me)/r^2
As r->0, this is a constant, 9.81 m/s^2. Thank you Newton. This math may very well be all wrong, but the following point is still the same.
So really, the mass of the falling rock does not need to be considered, only the drag, which I'm not familiar in calculating, but that doesn't really matter, as I'd wager something small drags less than something big. In short, you're wrong.
What? Hogwash! The plastic doesn't help focus the laser, it's completely flat, and the laser shines straight up. No diffraction of any sort occurs. The plastic is only there for protection.
Id releases the full source to their games when all of the licensees games are done. And seeing as quake 3 engine games are still in dev(I think, I'm too lazy to look it up), it'll be a while til the full source is released.
Netscape isn't the aol default browser because they are in contract with microsoft, so that they can put aol icons on the default windows desktop. Now that the contract is coming to an end, netscape is getting back to being a good browser. It was probably not worth aol's time to keep netscape up to date when they could get no use out of it.
Do you think that aol is just going to buy redhat and then close the company? No, they're going to make some products with red hat as a base and sell is to joe user to surf the web. The distro will not be lost, just headed in a new direction. Of course there could be several other plans they have, but the rh distro isn't just going to up and vanish overnight.

In my Canada we call them... pancakes.
not true, i've only been using linux for 2 years, slackware lives on my server and desktop.

From what I know, the ogg decoder has been finalized. The encoder has yet to catch to all the features, but the decoder should live on forever.
What the hell? Who moderated that as interesting. He even put a smiley face at the end, fer crying out loud...
Clone [toys|dolls] sould obviously be banned.

Ah, thanks.
I though we were supposed to see the debut of the new name for .5, what gives?
I wish i could find the google cache to up the ol' karma.

The music industry is not uncertain, it will most likely always be strong.

For an interesting take on robot's understanding humour, read Eric Idle's 'The Road to Mars'.
What?
Hogwash!

Licensing the quake 3 engine costs 250k, there's your reason for not releasing the engine.
Id releases the full source to their games when all of the licensees games are done. And seeing as quake 3 engine games are still in dev(I think, I'm too lazy to look it up), it'll be a while til the full source is released.

Go ahead, you can change your preferences and you'll never have to worry about him again.
Only higher multipliers are locked, you can lower the multiplier no problem.

Since we're paying the music pirate tax, shouldn't we be able to pirate music now?
