The linux releases are peer-reviewed, etc. etc. , whereas with MS it's just one company. I'd put more faith in a patch where many people have seen the source code changes. Who knows what goes on in MS's patch department.
Hey, the rest of the world isn't as dumb as Americans (no, really). It seems to be a culture thing. I saw a show once where they went to a Florida beach and asked general knowledge questions to random people on the beach. It went something like this:
Eh? If Mars and Earth orbits were perfect circles (centred on the Sun, obviously), then the oppositions would always be at the same distance.
So if the oppositions are not equal, the orbits can't be perfect circles, QED
Furthermore, it seems to me (although I haven't done the maths) that even if Earth were any ellipse (maybe circular), and Mars were a non-circular ellipse, then there will always be differing opposition distances -- which is exactly what the article said.
The ships can gain energy from the gravity fields of Earth and Moon? like how the past orobes got it from Jupiter. If they knew they were going to be accelerating payloads, they could attack the fields more aggressively than if they were just going to sit in a stable orbit ?
Well the circle of fifths doesn't quite work.. if you go up a fifth on a piano (freq * 2^(7/12)) 12 times, you've multiplied frequency by 128, but if you go up an exact fifth (freq * 3/2) 12 times you've multiplied frequency by 129.7. Some older organs actually had a different key for C# to Db for this reason.
I read in today's paper that the action against IBM is actually being taken by "SCO Group", a completely independent entity to SCO (the Santa Cruz Organization). It said that "SCO Group" used to be Caldera (of Caldera Linux fame), and Caldera bought UnixWare off SCO previously.
However I haven't seen this distinction mentioned on Slashdot (it seems to be a pretty big one..), can anyone confirm?
I saw a thing on 20/20 with a clever solution to this problem. A GM prototype car uses the chassis as the fuel cell: the chassis looks like a big skateboard (with a wheel near each corner), the skateboard is strong and the hydrogen is stored inside it. Then you can bolt seats on top of it, put a bodyshell over the top, etc.

Ogg Now An RFC

· Score: 0, Flamebait
I haven't used Ogg so far cos I think it sounds stupid and I don't want to see ".ogg" every time I look at my harddrive. RFC3533 is a much more aesthetic extension:) Might be time to make the switch.
I think I speak for many people here: why is Nmap 3.0 so much slower than 2.53 ? For example, I use it to ping-sweep my local/24 network. 2.53 would take about 1.5 seconds, but 3.0 takes up to 3 minutes to complete. Even using the -T switch it's still much slower.
Yeah. Goes well beyond gates - unix people might use this too. (That is, if the RIAA doesnt outlaw it because it means you can pirate every single song it owns at once)
CPUs already have a few mb of onchip cache these days, dont they?

You could say they're Munchen up the microsoft executives

2.500 square libaries of congress.. that's what Nasa Earth Surveyor said anyway
Make that 1 million non-destitute inhabitants

(I dont know, just guessing here..)
Any word on exactly how close (in km preferably, not libraries of congress) the two planets will be?
Calling # 'pound' refers to the unit of weight. It's still used in some backwater countries that can't understand kilograms.
Hopefully they will succeed, then everyone will have to listen to classical music with B#, E#, Fx, etc. and not this Eminem crap

The second globe is the first one with the countries pasted on top. They could at least have pasted the coastline and not the whole interior

What does that mean exactly? The motor is more efficient, or can draw more current, or what?

My thumbnail is much closer to 1 cm^2 than 1 in^2. Are you a sasquatch or something?
They say the tubes are a few hundred nm long, and then say they're suspended between wafers 100nm apart. What gives?
Well, the court found that MS wasn't allowed to make a JVM because Sun didn't want them to any more. So they made .NET instead.
None of us would make a system where you can specify any email address to receive the 'change password' email.
Er, after all their boasting, they use Apache+Unix for hotmail still?
