Scale can work two ways: big reactors that power entire areas, or little home power plants. Of course, that's assuming that there's anything to cold fusion in the first place...
Must I set up disposable email accounts for every list?"
Actually, what I do is have a single disposable email account for all lists, and change it regularly. I suspect that some spammers (probably those who troll WHOIS records) are getting wise to that and starting to email to random@domain.tld (where random is someone's name).
This isn't "interesting," it's funny - the only interesting thing about the posting is that the guy has taste. It's another reference to Vonnegut's *Sirens of Titan*.
They changed it to Jupiter because Trumbull was having a very hard time getting both a Jovian-looking planet and convincing looking rings. No CGI back in those days, remember? (2001 was released in 1968). I don't remember if that detail (about why they abandoned Saturn) is in Jerome Agel's *The Making of Kubrick's 2001* (0451071395) or Clarke's *Lost Worlds of 2001* (0451125363) - probably the latter, though. Thus the book 2010 is a sequel to the movie 2001, not the book 2001. (Except for one thing: in the movie 2001, you never hear the line "My God, it's full of stars!" - that's only in the book 2001.)
The way it's written, it suggests that perhaps Glaser was hired from Rhapsody and is the fons et origo of the iPod/iTunes link - you don't realize that "RealNetworks" and not "Tony Fadell" is the antecedent for "led by Rob Glaser." So now there's a few million NYT readers who think that RealNetworks was the real genius behind the iPod. Nice.
I do love my Tivo, but I turned off the personal viewing feature long ago when I realized it had a twisted personality. It kept recording porn and cartoons...
Don't you mean when it realized you had a twisted personality?
I'm not sure that it only applies to magnetic media, though. They've demonstrated it for magnetic media, but the basic idea - that above certain transfer speeds, the result of data writing becomes noisy - might apply to other media as well, albeit at different points.
No it can't. Quantum entanglement cannot be used to transmit information at speeds higher than c. Once you change the state of one of a pair of quantum entangled particles by applying an external force, you sever the entanglement. Then again, IANAPP.
Except now, with these new rules, pretty much all IT employees are exempt. Those of you who voted for GWB: thank you. [Yes, that was sarcasm, boys and girls.]
Depends upon what you mean. If you're already paying for PPP dialup (or broadband), you can use a TCP/IP connection within the AOL software to get to AOL. I seem to remember that in school I was able to TELNET into an AOL email program (this would be 10 years ago), but maybe I'm thinking of CompuServe.
IANAL, but I believe that anything Linus himself has written (unless it is work for hire) he can fork on a different license at whim - he just can't revoke the GPL on code already released under it.
Sorry, I missed that bit in your posting the first time through. The reason I asked is because the battery meter calibration has been knocked out of whack on both my iPod and my iBook by past updates without actually affecting the battery. On some of these boards folks are talking about "one bar" and "two bars" as though there were no software interpretation taking place between the signal and the meter. But there are now 2 other reports (besides your own) confirming there to be a real signal loss, with only one suggesting that the meter calibration might be out of whack, so on the whole, it's more likely to be a real signal loss.
Is this actually killing the range, or is it screwing up the calibration on the meter? They keep complaining about how many bars they have on the meter, but I haven't seen anyone mention on the board that they aren't able to use it someplace where they used to, or getting lower speeds than they used to.
And how do we know this sound card would work in XP? We don't. I've had problems with older legacy hardware in XP (for instance, CD burners, and even sound cards). Is the fact that I've had two models of CD burner that worked fine in Windows 98 not work anymore in XP, and one model of ISA sound card that worked in Windows 98 not work anymore in XP, demonstrable proof that Linux's hardware support is broader than XP's because I have three anecdotes and he has one? No, because proof is not the plural of anecdote.
I've got an old ISA sound card that doesn't work in XP - in the same machine where it worked fine in Windows 98. If the author of this article had tried three mainstream sound cards, all purchased at the same store (by mainstream I mean not generic), I'd be a little more impressed.
seriously, chaps. you don't see this kind of stupid childishness from conservatives. every time someone makes another cheap, unfunny WMD joke, or fucking cheerlead for peace, it makes me ashamed to be anti-gwb.
I suppose I imagined all of those cheap blow-job jokes from conservatives during the Clinton Administration?
When was the last time you were able to get the shell to run stuff as root without being logged in as root or SUing? Comparing the Windows Scripting Host to a shell is an awfully problematical comparison. And your second comment about Mozilla speculative and has no real logical basis.
I think Ryan was a better pitcher than Schilling: Ryan is a shoe-in, Schilling a borderline case. I think if Schilling had pitched for a more stable team than Philly his numbers would look a lot better. Look at Clemens's numbers his last 2 years with the Sox (when Clemens was getting no run support and no real defensive support) and compare them to his numbers in NY. BTW, I'd expect Schilling's numbers his first year with the Sox (with the current roster) to be superb.

Don't worry, there are other important uses for petroleum besides burning it.

It's called playing the "straight man."
You've never heard of a "straight man," apparently.

Sorry, but that was just too good to pass up.

So, how much of Linux is prestine Linus code?
I dunno, but I bet he does. Of course, this is all academic, as one gathers that working for Bill Gates is not one of Linus Torvalds' dreams.
I don't know what page that link brings you to, but it brings me to a redirect to the FindLaw home page.
