This is about investors, not about programming gurus or system administrators. JAVA has a big punch, it is associated with a lot of different technologies (because a lot of stuff is made in JAVA) and this is the idea they want to pass trough.
The market is 90% psychological and moving the TICKER name from SUNW to JAVA surely can't hurt.
What about the signals we sent to communicate with the Apollo crew (since the apollo 8 orbit of the moon and the other landings) we had to comunicate with the astronauts and that did make us send radio signals into space right?
What about the signals we're sending to the rovers on Mars? They're powerfull. Are they directed at Mars only or are they traveling until the depths of space?
Are these signals encrypted in such a way that would look just like noise if anyone else picked them up by accident?
If any expert is in the house, feel free to answer:)
It is interesting what you say but I have to give you the other end of spectrum. I live in a country where the maximum penalty is 25 years. It really does not matter if you kill one person or 4 you will get at most 25 years.
Recently we had a case in the news where one guy killed 3 little girls, hid the evidence, tried to blame it on another guy and commited two or three more crimes, he got nailed with 25 years and the defence is appealing to try to reduce the time (unlikely, since the total time was around 60 years, even if they reduce somewhat it will still be over 25).
Now I believe, 25 years in jail is a long time. When you get out of there you sure did have some time to think about the things you've done and how to straighten up (of course, some never do). The real problem here is paroles, saw it on the news that although he got 25 years sentence, in some cases they get out on parole after 6 years, and hardly anyone gets more than 16 years or real jail time.
Now this starts to look short. So we either need to review the parole system or we need to start comulating penalties like in the US so that criminals do pay their time in jail. If one of the girls he killed was my daughter and he got out of jail in 6 years... oh boy, don't even want to imagine how I would feel and just how much I would be willing to do.
The interesting is, Nerds are getting richer and richer. A lot of nerds are calling the shots in several organizations these days and "our" influence grows stronger.
What if I am truly special? Wouldn't say you're arrogant for trying to tell me all the time I'm not but it does at least makes you a pain in the ass.
You don't know if we are special. Maybe we were the first intelligent race in the Universe, maybe we were the last, maybe we were the only one... do you know? Can you prove it?
Thought so... lets all be more humble, not just the others.
I've heard nanotubes were a possibility to build the space elevator (another/. article some months ago) and this seems to be good news on that front.
Anyone thinks it will be built in our lifetimes?
What i'd really like to see in a tradeskill based MMORPG is more skill involved, possibly some twitch based tradeskills. I mean, how cool would it be if you had to point to where you wanted the smithing hammer to strike
You probably played ATITD 1... this is possible in ATITD 2 (released soem 3 months ago).
Actually, women in Egypt were treated quite right. It was one of the places where females got the most respect in society... hell several of them got to be Pharaohs.
The problem still stands, as the trader that refused to do trades was a foreign from distant lands, where treating women below garbage was common.
Just wanted to note the historical fact about women in Egypt.
The add I get is for the Sybase Database... quite ironic if you ask me when all the site gives me is:

other civilizations within about fifty light-years or so would be able to pick up TV
For what I understand this may be true, but they would have to be looking for them very well. For example, a program like SETI 50 light-years away from Earth wouldn't detect those signals.
I usually pass all my CDs to MP3. That way i can have only 1 or 2 CDs in the car with my whole music instead of having 20 or 30 albums in the car. Those i keep at home.
think about what's in our day to day lives that's actually new in the last 10 years or so
Well, maybe you living in America got access to this technology earlier but for me I can remember at least cellphones.
I believe they exist over 10 years, but only now they are produced for the masses. I think communication, wherever you are (most of the time anyway) is actually a very good (most of the time) breaktrough in the last 10 years.

It is a link to a gif image... where is that script?

It so happens, that when playing a game, dying and killing for economic supremacy is fun!

Not assuming, hoping :)
However, for us to be sure it worked there is no other way than to release him and check if he got fixed or not.
You are right in a way. On the other side, I refuse to believe that 25 years isolated in a small place will have no effect in a person.

What about a RADIUS authentication solution to help with the protection? You can use FreeRADIUS which is free (as in beer as well).

You can't be a Wizard, altough i probably suspect there will be lots of Elfs. You can choose from Elf, Men, Dwarves and Hobbits

It would be interesting trying tough...

This is private space flight... what is this public you are talking about?
Would you rather be with problems on the moon surface when the Rover breaks down or inside a base with oxygen and food when something bad happens?
There was also a plate of metal left behind with a message of the "American people"... something like "we came in peace" and all that.
I wonder if that's why they call it sub-orbital flight...
