Didn't you know? This thing is for Macs!!!! It's obviously priced for the Apple customer demographic and since Macs only use about a third the energy PCs do it will provide support for 3 times as many!;-p
How much do you pay for the recharge? If it's more than $5/hr the hydrogen fuel cell is the better deal. Other wise stick to your toxically polluting lead acid fuel cell.
Notice I don't include the initial costs... now the question there is how long will your battery last until you have to replace it? Luckily it's just a UPS device and doesn't get used that often. I know I have to get a new car battery about once every 3 years. Even though this Coleman only has a 1 year warranty I bet it will last a bit longer than 3 years if taken care of.
6k is still too pricey for me though so I'll wait until next year when they start dropping a better more efficient version for 4k or maybe the year after for 1k. Maybe competition will kick in sooner and drop the price earlier, who knows?
Lots of posts rant about oxygen deprivation... if you're sitting in an air tight room somehow you're probably not going to be worried that there is one more oxygen breather, seriously, ever heard of ventillation?
I'd be more concerned about how much additional heat and humididty this thing is producing and whether the server room tech had accounted for it before leaving for the weekend.
I'd like to hear about using IP over firwire for clustering purposes, are there any advantages besides price? does Firewire/1394 use a different bus or i/o than ethernet and could this increase overall throughput or decrease latency issues when clustering?
I mean jeez what better way to set up a beowul....;-p
Seeing as Plastic is going to be a favorite production material for a while now, this is good news. It's amazing that it took them this long to get this to work or to come up with the idea, whatever. This of course still won't help the bigger issues with heavy metals polluting the environment but it's a nice step in the right direction. If nothing else it has probably made a few more 'positive' jobs available.
I'm also curious as to how this will effect plastic recycling? Are these new plastics recyclable? Do we really recycle plastics if we are trying to make more biodegradeable materials?
You should just be putting in a password, your password and that's it....
Maybe you didn't set up the device in the Bluetooth Preference Pane as illustrated in the article above?
In the O'Reilley article it clearly shows setting up and setting a password for each new Bluetooth device you want to add to your machine.
Well, check out the article and see if that helps. Or google around a bit more like I started to and you may find what you need to know. One thing you can't expect is for Microsoft to provide tech support for your Mac. They don't know any more about your OS than you do. I'd never expect Apple to provde support for a One-Button mouse if a person was trying to use it on a Windows machine, would you? or how about hooking up an Airport device to a Windows XP machine? Yes it should be possible and should work just like all other 802.11b devices but since it was made only for Apple products and they don't claim otherwise, I would be SOL and on my own.
I'll second this appraisal. I watched Solaris and watched several people walk out. I stayed because I was enjoying the story and the exploration of age-old themes (the same ones in every single book, tv show, movie, etc. I've ever experienced) in a compelling way, set in a future that managed to suspend by disbelief by being somewhat 'ordinary' and 'mundane', performed by actors who knew their place as the pawns of a wonderful director reenacting a sci-fi classic.
I always thought the 10 Commandments were actually 11 and like those instruction tests you took in college and high school to see if you are paying attention, the last one said "ignore all the instructions except the first one".
Sounds like you need to introduce yourself to the FLA sororities (which HAVE to sponsor at least one beautifully intelligent girl) and meet someone like my cousin, who is an extreme hottie, pursuing her phd in forensic science or the like....
Don't assume that just because a girl wants a social life that she doesn't have other interests, like, rocket science... met a girl in my brother's company in the army who was extremely hot AND a bonefied ROCKET SCIENTIST. They are out there....
I wanted to reply to that one with sarcastic wit but my light cone just wouldn't focus on it.... seriously:p love that last sentence... think I'll use that when referring to any of a multitude of 'sources'.
Well not exactly... yes quantum physics inherently presents some of these issues but I'm referring more specifically to the 'observer' point of contention. Many will argue that form a non-specific and non intelligent/mechanical POV quantum physics implies multiple outcomes based on probability.
What they don't argue is that the 'observer' ie: an intelligent and 'human-concious' entity can have a dirct impact on the outcome by 'perceiving' the activity. Age old question: "if a tree falls but no one hears it, did it make a sound?" or Schroedinger's Cat, etc....
So the question I propose from her statements is: "Do we as observers, with our overlapping light cones (event horizons?), create our universe from a multitude of potentials?"
Get out to the west coast, San Diego is nice this time of year, and you will see some of the hottest girls you've ever dreamt about, in lab coats....
That said my girlfriend is a grad student at UCI but she's working on her teaching credentials, while working as a model for the car show circuit and pretending to be Barbie(TM) for Mattel at Toys 'R Us... she is a good Catholic girl though so I won't disparage her reputation with any more details.
"It's a beautiful thought: we each have our own universe. But there's a lot of overlap. "We mostly see the same thing," Markopoulou Kalamara explains, and that is why we see a smooth universe despite a quantized spacetime."
Personally I like this version of unified relativity but I'm very certain that there will be many nay-sayers concerning her metaphysical POV of light cones and spin networks as personal and individual interpretations of the universe... though it is really nice to hear a published physicist speak about overlapping collective conciousness and the impact on perceived physics of the universe.
Not every attempt at humor is a slur. And shame on the moderator for marking this comment at all.
Insightful my ass. The poster obviously thought this was important or wouldn't have posted it. Why would they do such a thing AND make a 'racist' comment about the person they are evangelizing?
So what other industries have done for decades and hire a MARKETING firm. Now I know that the term marketing is loaded with negativity these days, especially in a community such as/. BUT when you get down to it that is what you are looking for, marketing data, your market being developers.
I don't know what data is already available from current sources that a good marketing firm could use to do analysis but they may find it as an enticing agenda and do the leg work for free, only charging you for the analysis (which of course is what you need to tell them when you propose this).
Market analysis is simply crunching numbers in a statistical manner with datasets representing your target audience or constituency, yours being developers. I can't recommend a firm but you should definitely find one with what they refer to as "Domain Experience" in technology and specifically software.
Here are a few examples of the Linux's increasing popularity in the country. The Indian government is planning a countrywide drive to promote the open source operating system, Linux, as the "platform of choice" instead of "proprietary," read Microsoft, solutions.
The Department of Information Technology has already devised a strategy to introduce Linux as a de facto standard in Ivy-league educational institutions like Indian Institute of Technology, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research and Bhabha Atomic Research Center, through their curriculum that encourages the use of such systems.
The Supreme Court -- India's apex judiciary -- has a few pilot projects underway. So have High Courts in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, and the government of West Bengal; the Delhi Road Transport Office has implemented a pilot to examine its viability; and C-DAC, the government's supercomputing arm, has moved lock, stock and barrel to Linux.

hmmmm... reminds me of a little movie I sas not too long ago, what was it called?
Doesn't this sound a lot like old-school Hotline servers? Except with the service being sanctified by the PTB (Powers That Be)?
What you are describing sounds a lot like the previous post
I always thought the 10 Commandments were actually 11 and like those instruction tests you took in college and high school to see if you are paying attention, the last one said "ignore all the instructions except the first one".

After re-reading your comment it sounds like I'm just rephrasing it for myself.... cool.

Hence my comment on Metaphysical Physics....

Get a grip and then go get a life.
Anyways, back to real commentary.....

When did XML become a 'legacy' language?
Wow, the 2nd millenium sure is moving fast!

Good luck.
"Movie tickets in my area are $7.5, but I can't take the movie home and watch it whenever I want."
I'd easily pay $7.5 to go listen to 1.5 hours of stadium or concert quality music from my favorite artist -- once or twice a month.
What i won't do is pay $10 for crappy audio that's a pain in the butt to listen to.
I also won't pay $15 - $20 for an audio only CD.
I only pay $12 - $18 for a DVD with audio/video/special effects/behind the scenes documentary/more. Now that's a good deal.
BTW how much of that $10 do you think goes to the artist?
Here is a nice link to a news site with some status info on Linux adoption within India and current projects planned by India's Government.
