E2 is very cool, but I don't want to read about what somebody dreamed about last night. Cool if you're looking for that sort of thing, but Wikipedia is more of just the facts.
That being said.. when you tread through all of the dream nodes and nodes about alphabet soup and whatnot, E2 is an excellent pop culture reference. Here's a great example.
I think you're missing the point. Sure the teacher that goes up into space for a couple of days and stays cramped up in a shuttle or whatever won't be any more qualified to teach astronomy or physics or anything else relating to space.
BUT, could you imagine the stories this teacher would have from that experience? These stories would subsequently be relayed on to the students with passion that maybe might spark a student's interest in the field -- a student that probably wouldn't have been interested otherwise.
/. is a great place, but sometimes the cynicism is a little too much.
The net is going to be taxed, plain and simple, no matter how much we all belly ache over it. It won't be a bad thing either. Although I'm by no means a fan of being taxed, they are necessary. Internet commerce is still commerce, and commerce is taxed.
I do take exception to the terms fragile economy when used to describe the Internet. Sure, some of the infrastructure jobs and that sector may be hurting, but online spending is up. And going up. These transactions, if taxed would do a great deal to help states if a system is implemented.
Seriously, who has heard of KRO before? Exactly. I'm putting out a list of the top 300 coolest dudes on earth - make sure you submit it, I'll include Linus.
Very intelligent point. I read the other day where Microsoft turned off Argentina and they were pissed. Seriously, dude, we all hate M$, but spare the hyperbole.
It's called "Do Some Fucking Work". Way to power up this economy in time of need.;)
I've actually always loved working the week between xmas and NYE. There's virtually nobody in the office, so interruptions are kept to a minimum and the hours are slightly more flexible.
Moral: Microsoft never kills off the technology, they just delay it until they think the time is right.
Must be nice to have the cash to do this. Don't fault M$ for being rich.

Doesn't the service have a "hit" cap? I thought the public API came with a maximum number of uses per day. If that's the case, they would probably be using a commercial version of the public API.
Before I could move any code, I had to select a license from a list of about 30. Read through each of them and 4 days later you can make a selection.. I'm still new at it, and I'm sure I can always change the license later.
It's interesting -- definitely a way to simplify the daunting task of picking a license. I recently began to roll my first SourceForge project and can tell you the license-selection step is very intimidating.
Then again, I don't have the GPL stitched on my pillowcase like some of you.;)
How are we going to deploy these things on Mars? Surely, it would take about 500 years for one to fly there (assuming it could store enough fuel of some type). Until we can land a probe, I'll assume this to be the method of transit.;)
Exactly. Last week's The New Republic had an article on America's Other Drug Problem on how the pharm industry in the US has tightened its grip on politics.
Consumers vs. the pharm companies is the REAL War on Drugs.
Who wants odds? Militaries around the world have long been working towards being able to significantly affect the weather conditions of battlefields. Remember, defense funding is behind some cool things - DARPAnet, nuclear energy, radar..

Who'd ever of thunk the US Army would be leading the charge into this realm.
America's Amry is a great recruiting and training tool.

Moderate me down if you want, trolls. I still find it funny.
I may be wrong, but wasn't Dijkstra's famous paper entitled "GoTo Considered Harmful"?
Did you happen to see my nic? And it's not just some fashionably new nic since he won the Nobel Prize.
;)
It's NYE and you are all trolls.
That's simple man.. Al Gore invented the MVC.
Thanks for the tip. That was also disclosed in the CNN article the story linked to.
1. Simplify the language of life
2. ???
3. Profit

Print me a list of his credit card transactions, the itineries from his plane journeys and his bank balance and I will be impressed.

And the UML tool (which is the thing they are the most interested in) is written in Java! What will they do with it... convert it to C#?
It's a safe bet...
I've deleted my INBOX THREE TIMES thinking I was deleting a message IN my inbox instead.
Anyone a Notes user at work? I had decent expectations when IBM came along, but it's still a cold turd.
I've always assumed the crazy weather was just a test of my own agnostic beliefs when all signs point towards the coming of the apocalypse..
