It's kind of boring, compared to the others, but any experiment that shows that surface area has no relationship to friction goes against most peoples intuition.
Or you could stick some flys in a microwave. They live because their bodys are to small to absorb the radiation. This one really needs a kitten to set up with though....
I've seen Akira 3 times. I loved it. I still don't know what the hell is going on %80 of the time but that's ok, pass the pipe please.
So if any of you are hoping hollywood'll stay 'true to the story', when every story they do has to be shouted at the audience, there is no chance. I bet the final product will be almost unrecognizable.
I was suprised it took this long for someone to point this out. Jay Miner (the Amiga's designer), had a much different vision for the Amiga than Commodore. Amiga geeks the world over agree that the lions share of the blame goes to Commodore.
I can't say for sure but seeing as the trojans only action is to open the port (doesn't infect anything, can't survive a reboot), it's probably not smart enough to cover it's tracks very well and that would probably show it.
The solution given in the cert advisory is basicly
I recently had my first moderator points, and did the same thing you did (scrollwheel for me). I also, in a fit of guilt, went back and posted to erase the mistake. The irony of this story is that you got modded up to '4 funny', thereby showing the true value of a moderater point:-)
Several people have commented on Linux for SGI machines. Currently the only fully supported hardware is the Indy, all others lacking a working Xserver. On the Indy, linux performs very well, and X is nice and fast for such an old machine (8 bit though).
So for the people who didn't buy that cheap SGI machine because they couldn't find Irix for it, get it anyway, install Linux. The quality of the hardware is fantastic.
I've been using OSX on a G4-867 for about 6 months.
The two packages mentioned in the article, fink and OroborosX, turn OSX into the slickest X client on the planet, IMO. It's a huge step forward for operating systems, and a worthy inspiration for OpenSource. The posts above doubting it's UNIXness or comparing it to CygWin are wrong. This _is_ UNIX. Bash, python, ruby, development tools, all just under a slick UI.
That said, it's not perfect. Apples design ethos can get in the way (one button mouse!!,five fingers!!) Package management is confusing. Things are in weird places. That slick UI is the only look you get, etc. But I still think that any UNIX geex who give it a try will be hooked.
Educators like to lose sight of the fact that language is a constantly moving target. Chaucer made liberal use of double negatives, as did Mark Twain. The parctice was only considered 'wrong' after 19th century scholars realized they didn't have a rule 4 them in the grammers of the day. Hence, wrong.

Wow! that's alot of comments! I wouldn't have guessed.
Cool. It's good to see some work being done at SGI on Linux. Unfortunatly, I can't afford one of these.
I am the proud owner of a SGI Indy running Debian-mips, so I keep a close eye on SGI's linux work. The oss.sgi.com website hadn't been updated for over a year (linux section) and I was worried that they'd kill it. Still, it doesn't seem like they're going to be doing any more work on the ip22 MIPS port. (the one that you and I can actually afford the hardware for.)
New upgraded general-purpose computers (AP-101S) will replace the existing GPCs aboard the space shuttle orbiters in late 1988 or early 1989. The upgraded computers allow NASA to incorporate more capabilities into the orbiters and apply advanced computer technologies that were not available when the orbiter was first designed. The new computer design began in January 1984, whereas the older design began in January 1972. The upgraded GPCs provide 2.5 times the existing memory capacity and up to three times the existing processor speed with minimum impact on flight software. They are half the size, weigh approximately half as much, and require less power to operate.
It would seem they're falling a little behind Moore's law.
The Bush administration has shown a lot of interest in passing laws that restrict rights. The evidence that Al-Queda has any cyberwar capabilities beyond that of a pimple-faced script-kiddie is weak, but stories still pop up about the threat that they entail and the measures that are going to have to be taken to combat it.
I wouldn't be suprised if a story like this, from a very dependent ally, was encouraged by the powers that be.
Oh yeah, remember; if you or anyone you know smoked a joint since 9/11, you're supporting terrorisim.
I disagree with the statement that Sony didn't lose money on the ps and ps2. All consoles lose money. You simply can't deliver the performence people expect in this very competitive market at a price point they'll pay. Hence Nintendo going so far as to use cartriges instead of CDROMS, with all the limits on game development that entails.
Somewhere an NASA'a very large website are tons of schematics and code used in the shuttle. I'm not sure if it's opensource, but nasa has historiclly been generous with the work the do. Witness Donald Beckers ethernet drivers for Linux (probably most of them, in fact) and the Bewolfe stuff.

Correct. All fat tires do is handle heat better.
Or you could stick some flys in a microwave. They live because their bodys are to small to absorb the radiation. This one really needs a kitten to set up with though....
In the long run, though, I hope the standard aproach becomes User Mode Linux.
Well.... one of us is wrong (see nearby post), and it's probably me...
The next best was the bomb on MacOS. It appears to be gone from OS X just by the fact it never crashes.

Considering the amount of klez activity on the web, a long, long time.
As far as trojan packages go it's pretty weak.
I can't say for sure but seeing as the trojans only action is to open the port (doesn't infect anything, can't survive a reboot), it's probably not smart enough to cover it's tracks very well and that would probably show it.

How the hell did this get modded flamebait? It may be a bit offtopic, but not really. Jees people.
Um....What is an engineer of mathmatics??? If it's what it sounds like, it'll probably get you a job in any science field, lol.
hahahahaha, mod parent up please.

Silly troll. Apache 0.4 is the best release and you know it.
