The guy deleted 1300 accounts! If my account at work just disapeared one night, it would certainly cost them more than $1000. $10,000 wouldn't suprise me. Code, contacts, calander, and content can add up.
Those 1080's are still in demand as cheap, robust, and color acurate monitors for video editing. And you can stack them. That was the first monitor I ever owned.
I give you that the stock OS was pretty ugly, in later years, but that's only because you didn't install the tweaks. Probably not a good idea in a production environment, considering the lack of memory protection.
Anyway, the Amiga desktop was capable of looking stunning, with effects and features that still haven't shown up in Windows. 24-bit alpha blending of window frames, for example.
I'm a beliver in useing the right tool for the job, and if that tool is propietary, so be it. But given the choice, I'll always take the open solution.
I can't really understand why anyone wouldn't be biased this way. It's our common property, and the more use it gets, the better it becomes.
The core of the linked article is a big deal in this respect. The SDK will include Havoc Complete and AEGIA, and the Unreal Engine 3 is up and running. If these are all implemented well to leverage the power of the Cell, and scheduled well to leave room for the rest of the game, then much of the tough stuff is done! Well, at least the stuff that's going to keep coders awake at night in a cold sweat. The Cell should also be showing up in all sorts of devices, and it's in IBMs interest to have tips, tricks, and snippets widely distributed. The Emotion Engine didn't exactly have an open community.
Sony has at least shown themselves committed to easing the way for developers. What I'm dreaming for is a pathway for indy developers to leverage some of these tools.
I'm very much looking forward to this generation of consoles. I don't think many gamers really realize the leap in gameplay that can be possible with this kind of hardware, 360 and PS3 both, although my money's on the PS3. This is also why I think it's important to open the consoles to indys, as it's going to take some imagination to get there.
Details are debated, but it's generally thought that the Americas were settled by 2 or 3 waves of migrants from Asia, possibly more. Some evidence points towards Causcasian genes being involved, Kennewick Man possibly being one example. The Inuit are newcomers, showing up in Alaska about 1500 years ago. In a thousand years they spread across the north, replacing the Dorset culture. The last Dorset people died in 1902, on Southhapton Island (very eastern), killed by disease brought by whalers. They have been shown to be genetically distinct from the Inuit, implying a complete replacement.
That page also says;
"The first group of Proto-polynesians probably left the middle east around BC 2300, about the time of the tower of Babel heading toward Sumatra. The second leaving around 1400 BC, going to India' with the first group making it to Fiji a hundred years later (1300 BC)."
Uh oh. But that doesn't mean the other assertion is wrong, and the reference cited is well regarded, and the info is found elsewhere. So! I stand corrected.
I'ts interesting to note that the invaders seem to have been culturally related, and invading to stamp out what they saw as degenerate religious practices. Maybe analogous to a group of Jews trying to straighten out a Christian sect in 500 AD?
I agree with the OP that there are trivial numbers of people that can claim to be truly indigenous.

Here's a link to the switch add.. I wouldn't go so far as to set up a fan site as many internet nutbars have, but she is charming.
The Basque people, Hawaiian, Nicobar islanders, and other scattered groups are probably directly descended from the first folks to show up. None of these are nations any longer, of course.
Native americans were not the first people in the Americas, and the people they displaced weren't either.
I still think the "stolen land" critique is valid, as these were active policy and millitary moves by the US goverenment. Unfortunatly, that was then and this is now, and there's not much the US can do but build a memorial.
36,201 feet was done in 1957, it obviously varies for different subs. Unmanned vehicles can quite easily withstand any pressure to be found in the oceans.
I was disappointed with this devices 8 hour run time. It would be cool to see things swimming around for months collecting data. I wonder what kind of spatial sensing is being done, and if it takes a lot of power, as it's pretty dark down there.
You appear to have missed Civics class. The judicial system is not the local library, and generally has a habit of getting what it wants. This is as important even for the most trivial things, and any less would indicate a failed system.
As I see it, you have no rights. Might makes right, as always, and the guy with the gun wins. Just because a bunch of western statesmen wrote down a list and called them "universal" does not elevate them to the status of E=MC^2.
I'm not suggesting that oppression is right, I just think it an unfortunate misstep that the UN codified a somewhat arbitrary and loosely defined list of "rights". The swarm of NGOs, dictators, and representatives of "free nations" at the UN all define the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as they see fit.

"all the system objects present themselves as named files that are manipulated by read/write operations; second, all these files may exist either locally or remotely, and respond to a standard protocol; third, the file system name space - the set of objects visible to a program - is dynamically and individually adjustable for each of the programs running on a particular machine."
The result of this is that each app or user session can run on a metacomputer. A CPU here, a CPU there, some storage over there and a display and mouse and keyboard here. SMP is automatic, your filesystem contains the entire internet (like you ask for), and "my computer" becomes a text file describing the resources you have acces to. Got a job you don't want to stop, but want to turn off the CPU by your bed?
Agreed. I view single player mode in a multiplayer game as what you use to check your performace/control setup.

I live in the boonies of BC, in bear country. There's a bear den about 300 feet up the mountain from my house. In my experience, people who don't live with bears have entirely the wrong ideas about them. Bears don't eat people, flat out. They eat berries, and fish, and the occasional rodent. Attacking a human is either defensive, or pathalogical.
You do not need a gun, what's needed is a bit of education about bear safety. I'm not even going to suggest what the guy who had the coyote "run-in" needs.
If you really do want to do something more proactive, take a dog. Even a Jack Russel can chase off any bear. (we have 2 Wolfhound X Bull Mastif crosses, who would probably be dragging bears home if they could)
I agree with the OP. Although there might be a few cases of hungry bread winners thinking it's a quick buck, I would guess it's very rare.
Game wardens in many game parks are armed with machine guns, and shoot poachers on sight. Poachers, in turn, do the same. It's been like this for a while, and your average villager knows his chances are better robbing the corner store.
The foxes were bred at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics, in a long term experiment designed to test the hypothesis that domestication is actually prolonged infantilism. Dmitry Belyaev was the researcher.
After the fall, the institutes funding was cut drastically, and the future of the foxes was threatened, as the 400 they had were too few to stay genetically healthy. AFAIK, the foxes are spread quite widely today.

In tech, true. But in a management sense, Dell is the Wall-Mart of the tech world, refining various buzzwords and paradigms to very high levels.

If your looking to get a little more platform independant, elegant, and powerfull, but keep it easy, I suggest you take a look at Python.
Hawaiians are descended from Polynesians, true, but they conquered no one, finding an uninhabited land.
