The Open Source Initiative has a number of certified open source licenses intended for precisely the purpose you describe (if I understand you correctly). See http://www.opensource.org.
One example is Eclipse which is licensed under the Common Public License. This license is non-viral and allows derivative products to be licensed under more proprietary terms. (Although of course the open source bits remain open source.) IBM (and other companies) have commercial products based on Eclipse. See http://www.opensource.org/licenses/cpl.php.
If you're touring the SW (you'll need a car, but it's well worth it) you could check out the Very Large Array telescope in central New Mexico. It's where Contact was filmed.
Not high tech, but Mesa Verde National Park in south eastern Colorado is also not-to-be-missed.
I assume you mean the eclipse.org website? They're doing some previously announced emergency maintenance from 4-6pm EST today and will be intermittently available during that time. Their infrastructure seems to be pretty robust so there shouldn't be any problem after that.
the eclipse book definately reads like an ibm type book. there are not enough pictures and walk throughs as there are explaining every single widget/button/option in extreme wordy detail.
Are you sure you're talking about Eclipse in Action, or the other book, by the IBM people?
You shouldn't run audio (that is, amp output over speaker cables) long distances because you'll lose bass. (Amount depends on the amps damping factor. Basically the amp can't control the woofer and it doesn't sound tight.) If you must have a centralized audio source, you should run line level output to an amplifier for speakers in each room, using high quality shielded cable. This is how it's done in recording studios.
Kind of interesting reversal of roles between China and the West. A little over 500 years ago was , China was the most advanced seafaring nation. Due to internal politicals, that effort was abandonded and China became totally inner-looking and weak.
If you need to run cvs on Windows but need better security than pserver (which, like telnet, sends passwords in cleartext) you might look into Cygwin, which provides (essentially) a unix emulation layer for windows that includes cvs with ssh support.
Just make sure when you download Cygwin to download cvs, cygrunsrv and openssh 'cause you need them and you don't get them with the default core cygwin download.
Setting up is a little trickier than CVSNT, but you can find good instructions on ibm's developerWorks website.
Actually it was pretty useful--free barcode reader. I cataloged my entire library with it. I scanned each book and used some software I downloaded that looked up each book's barcode on Amazon, Library of Congress, (or other sites) and added it to a database.
The signal travels at the speed of light through copper, which is about 2/3 the the speed of light in air--or 124000 mph vs 186000. That's still pretty fast. Incidentally, the speed of light through optical fiber is about the same as copper.
Hey there's something weird with/.: How'd the heading get set to "3rd world countries"? That was the heading for something I responded to a long time ago. Yeah, I shoulda looked over my post more carefully (and fixed typos) before pressing Submit.
Wouldn't there be double justice in sending something like this to those gullible friends of yours that are always forwarding the most idiotic chain hoaxes. (E.g. forward this email to 20 people and Bill Gates will send you a free $50 give certificate for the Gap, or whatever.)
I haven't tried the C/C++ or Cobol plug-ins, but for Java at least, Eclipse is a very capable open-source development environment. I don't think it's an MSVC++ killer yet, but it's well worth checking out.
What kind of insight is that? A real chess position makes sense to a chess player, a random one doesn't. Neither makes sense to a non-player. You'd get the same results from testing how well people can memorize random strings vs. non-random strings: "the quick brown fox" vs. "cyq asongf wklan weo".
The Itanium is the first to abandon that approach, and say "it's up to the compiler to make sure stuff doesn't mess up when we pipeline." Speeds things up a lot, but makes writing compilers damn near impossible, and writing hand-coded assembler completely impossible.
There's not much use in handcoding assembler anymore. Compilers have been good enough for the past ten years or so that it's hard to beat their optimizations by handcoding.
I used to write a lot of performance critical code and often examined the compiler's code--on many different platforms and many different compilers--to see if there was any tweaking I could do or any tricks it had missed and never found anything worth changing. Well, a minor thing here or there, that maybe contribute a percent or two improvement. But by far the largest gains were changes that required domain specific knowledge, which could be accomplished at the source code level.
If there is a lot of character-by-character string processing, for example, much more can be gained--on the order of 20% in some cases--by translating the chars in a string from 8 or 16 bits to the cpu's native integer type, since that's what the processor is optimized for.

A glitch in the Great Wall? A glitch in the real-time tester?

Where to start with physics depends entirely on your math background. Got calculus? Got diff eq? You may want to look at some of the better text books.
If your math is weak--just algebra, for e.g.--you may want to pick up one of the popular physics for laymen or physics without math books. These'll give you a good taste for what it's about, but for the real thing, you need the right tools. Physics is a real-world application of mathematics.

Why run cat5? Use wi-fi instead.

You know you are dealing with nerds...
Not only can't they spell "kudos," but they rate a sci-fi book as #1 (Hitchhikers guide) and include Ayn Rand's rantings among the 20.
Sorry, but so far this list has zero credibility.
And you'd you prefer that they drive around unlicensed and uninsured?
Someone forgot to tell Apple.

Orrin Hatch is a Mormon, not a Christian. Or maybe somewhat "Christian." But hardly "very Christian."
Study Mormonism a bit. It's pretty off-the-wall stuff and has very little to do with mainstream Christianity.
Only if you have more than two eyes.
What boggles the mind is how many layers you'd need to enable fly-vision!

Just a thought...
