The moment I truly understood this, I started working seriously on an applied math and mechanics education resource that tries to use interesting applications to motivate abstract theory.
If anyone is interested in helping out, I'd be delighted to hear from you.
Udacity has now expanded its courses to include a new introductory physics class. In this class, you get to travel around Europe virtually and learn the basics of physics on location by answering some of the discipline's major questions from over the last 2000 years.
It looks like a lot of fun, and do also check out the MIT Tech TV videos mentioned on the page I've linked above. They are a fun way to learn physics too.
This sort of requires that people have to work for a living. Performing on stage every time you want to earn a buck sounds like a lot of work.
What happened to the good old days where you somehow belted out a catchy jingle, had a record company latch on and promote it everywhere, and watch the millions roll in for life? That's the sort of world in which I want to live.;)
I personally feel that user-discoverable URLs are the biggest usability strengths of Apple's web site over Microsoft's.
Say you want to learn about Safari. You go to apple.com/safari, as you'd expect. What if you wanted to learn about Internet Explorer? You need to go to microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/default.aspx. Who could have guessed that without a search engine?
What about the page for, say, information on a Macbook Pro vs. Microsoft Office? One of these is easily guessable from a consistent URL scheme, the other is not.
Easily being able to find content is just as important as good, clear content.
While it's easy to pile on with the melodrama, the last stable release, Etch, was in the middle of '07. A year and a half is an entirely reasonable amount of time to wait for an operating system release.
I, for one, congratulate them on and thank them for their timely release!
Unlike other societies that do have a lot of money to throw at such problems, ours does not (as you've noted). The difference is the way in which scientists in India go about designing these stages. All stage designs are done as efficiently as possible to allow reuse in multiple tasks---for instance between stages of missiles and rockets. The individual projects are not large scale, and built by using small addons to previously existing technology. This is not as expensive as you might imagine.

The Future of Emacs

Here are shots of Emacs with GTK+ and full anti-aliased fonts.
Heres how you can go about getting it yourself:
Fetch the sources from savannahs CVS. export CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs up -Pd -r XFT_JHD_BRANCH
Configure and build it. cd emacs ./configure —prefix=/your/fav/place —with-gtk —with-xft make bootstrap
(Wait 19,000 years.) make make install
Run it and have enjoy! /your/fav/place/bin/emacs font Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-10
it appears that you have more serious issues on your hand than the overtly-cute virtual dogs. That said, screw the fashion show, GAME ON!!11!
"It was at the Ashley Paige runway show during Fashion Week that I realized how much I'd become bonded to my little buddy Ding Dong. A very lithe Bijou Philips was trotting toward the cameras in a $300 trim-tailored knit bikini, but I was busy opening a can of virtual wet food for Ding Dong, whom I'd just noticed was "famished," "thirsty" and "filthy." Oh my god, poor little Ding Dong -- I'm sorry I forgot about you!"
Yes, I can attest to the coolness of Screen because I use it almost all the time. Also, to augment what the parent mentioned, the detaching remote screens isn't just a bonus, it's almost a necessity on a flaky coffee shop wireless connection.
My biggest problem is I almost always use Emacs as well. Does anybody know how to prevent Screen from capturing the C-a keystrokes when in programs like Emacs?
I find it extremely annoying and it often ends up doing something I don't want. Even if it is nothing serious, I'm distracted for a few seconds.
That was funny, but at least in my case, it looks like (google ad) revenue from the web log is the only way I can keep my sites up. No, my needs are no where near the amounts mentioned here, it is many orders of magnitude less (some ~$20 per month will do), but eveything helps when you're an otherwise poor grad student. It makes the difference between having sites and not.
From the article: "Indeed, four years have passed since Microsoft released a piece of software that generated the kind of buzz Google seems to generate every month."
No small thanks to our very own googledotdotorg:).
2. They are a mix of the day's picture and older stuff. So in the past month there must be Michigan, Nebraska, Massachusetts and the one prior some India and Amsterdam. But a ton of older ones acting as filler. Which explains the frost.
of the picture-a-day kind a nice way to get you to go out and shoot a ton of pictures. I don't think there is a better way of actually learning to take half-decent pictures.
I've run mine for just over two months now and it is not as easy as it seems.
They may have removed OS stats but they thankfully (thank you thank you) haven't removed statistics that matter. For instance, misspellings on the query "Britney Spears". The DOWCE (department of web-content-evanescence) issues a cache-this-page now warning.

Amen.

Or, you can use an existing, free, Cornell/NSF-supported e-print repository, arXiv.org.
Or is that different on Saturdays? Hmm.

This is a far more eloquent and humorous piece on the topic.

Miami University... must be in Florida.
Oh, it's in Oxford... must be in England.
Bzzzzzt. BUT NO! It's in Ohio!
It must have taken a long time to come up with that combination of naming and placement.
Cyclops, is that you?

Here is a page where you can order a copy of Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 for free (as in beer of course).

Why thank you kind sir.

And a good rebuttal from a linux kernel hacker.
