Another example of lazy astropsychology. That's how they're diagnosing every star these days. When's the last time you heard of a star being a magnetic mono-pole? Exactly. I rest my case.
I'm amused that the "Microsoft Community" page the article links to is called Channel 8. I guess they're not quite brave enough to call it, say, 8chan.
"Oops, sorry about those cables. We'll just pop on down there and patch them right up." - with "patches" that wiretap the cable and allow for man-in-the-middle attacks. Maybe?
I think the only real escape from our land-line monopolists might be for wide-area high-speed wireless routers with automatic meshing capabilities in the consumer's cost range to be developed. There are problems with this of course, and a 100% switchover is unlikely, but if it can make competition then it might help everyone.
Seconded. I'm also fond of their "pay for what you use" cost model. I stuck a $20 in a website six or seven months ago, and that has paid for everything including domain name, MySQL process, bandwidth, etc and still going. Of course, the site in question is a private site meant for only a few people so it doesn't get much traffic, but the rates are fairly competitive for higher amounts of traffic as well. Additionally, you can buy "bandwidth buckets", which can (hopefully) get you through a Slashdotting without draining your coffers too much.
Otherwise, there's always Freenet. Decentralized anonymous content hosting. Not quite The Web, but if you need it, it's there.
I believe he's referring to custom-sized CDs, the most common of which are the mini CD and the business card CD. It's a CD that has approximately the shape of a business card. The US Navy once sent me promotional materials on one. Other companies have been known to make weirdly shaped discs (like hearts) for novelty purposes as well. All of these work fine in tray drives, but slot loaders, not so much.
Cell is a PPC chip and Windows hasn't run on PPC in a while. But this laptop gets around that by using the Cell as a coprocessor. The main processor is an Intel-type.
In this case, you *can't* set the opt-out when you sign up. While most of the privacy settings can be set normally, the opt-out for this is available on a per-external-site basis. Which would be fine if you could just go through and opt them all out, but you can't. You can only opt-out for a site after that site has tried to send something to Facebook.
Exactly. The sun's atmosphere also extends well past the known solar system, and Wikipedia tells me that the heliospheric current sheet is the largest structure in the solar system.
At the last minute, NASA will announce that the launch site is somewhere in Texas, and the fixed landing site for the test will be in the Sea of Tranquility. Teams are, as mentioned in the rules, welcome to refuel their craft before the return trip if they like, of course. I think this would be a good test of the robustness of their solutions;)
Why did they even bother to launch the probe? Because they weren't planning to smash it into the ground, possibly contaminating the sample? It did crash, though, and with all the money they spent on it, they're working diligently to get what they can out of it.
...they'll do what Capcom did for the PS2 port of RE4. What, you mean give it a completely ridiculous control scheme? I can see it now: Hold the (2) button to enter canvas mode, then use the Control Stick to move the paintbrush, and hold down both A and B to apply paint!
It would be preferable that the warm body that presses the YES and NO buttons is also a master debater who is, when given a particular set of goals and positions, able to do some research on them and defend them quite well despite holding opposite views. Assuming this person is somehow ethical and properly held accountable by his party, they could do many of a regular senator's jobs just fine. Maybe. Or maybe not. In any case, I just wanted to use the phrase "master debater" today.
It's a trade-off, really. I could run my own e-mail server, but as I don't have a lot of redundancy at home this isn't likely to work out well. I could use my organization's e-mail system, but the quota is relatively small, and at some point I'm going to leave, and making e-mail archives has rarely worked out for me in the past. I could pay for e-mail service somewhere, but then I have to think about what I'm going to do when I want to stop paying or they go out of business. I use GMail because it's relatively unlikely to lose all my e-mail, I can use it anywhere, no real quota limit, and I can quickly find nearly every e-mail I've ever sent or received since the service started. A friend of mine recently asked if I still had our final project from Intro to Software Engineering, and though it had been long gone from my PC due to drive failure and from my organizational disk space due to limited disk quota, it was still in my GMail archive. Of course, if Google tanks or goes completely over to the dark side I'll probably regret not leaving it sooner, but I'll burn that bridge when I come to it.

Silverlight = Microsoft Flash. Need to have the player installed to play the game.
The file's Info dialog (right click, Get Info) displays this sort of metadata.
I'm partial to wxWidgets, or more specifically, wxPython. But that's just me.

Well, that's my computer's IP address, so it's obviously mine, and I'll have to ask you to stop waving it around like that.
My MacBook certainly didn't come with a video adapter. It has a MiniDVI port. VGA, DVI, and Composite/S-Video adapters sold separately.

Sure, and you can probably still find disks for Windows NT 3.51 for PPC, but the guy wanted to know if they had full-on Windows Vista running on Cell.

Blackwater?
Umm, any Mac that has Boot Camp on it is an Intel Mac, and is therefore fairly new.

Not if you're using Linux. The GameOS hypervisor currently blocks access to the GPU. All you've got is framebuffer.

Yes, actually. The Boot Camp drivers attempt to replicate the behavior of most Apple peripherals.
