Maybe the increase in traffic will help him to recover his $12k if people donate to his fund.
Though as another poster mentioned... I'd be torn between helping the kid and paying off the RIAA (which it would amount to, I guess in some form or fashion).
"They agreed to allow Jesse to deny their allegations. They agreed to dismiss the case and all allegations against him," Andy said. "Basically they agreed that he didn't do anything wrong, but [they're] taking his 12 grand."
Anybody else find something wrong with that quote? His father is quite right -- by allowing him to deny all charges, they're basically saying he didn't do anything wrong...yet they take his $12,000.
I don't mean this to sound troll-like, but are we really that surprised? Electric fields and magnetic fields (err, electromagnetic fields) are considered force fields (at least the last time I checked) and are used as such... they're used in fusion research to contain the plasma (at least in one reactor they are) -- as most people learn in introductory physics. Is this such a shock?
Last I heard, you only had to pay for their Evolution connector (to connect to Exchange server)... and I think certain portions of their Red Carpet update service (if memory serves).
The actual desktop was (is, most likely) a free download -- and in my opinion, well worth it, except that it conflicted with some Redhat RPMs so that up2date/RHN had a fit.
Massive data storage doesn't mean a thing to people like me who do computational physics work. We need better supercomputers to simulate larger systems... or simulate them faster. Sure, we can simulate a system of 300,000 particles within a few hours, but there could be great value in simulating systems of millions of particles. Maybe there is some effect that we miss... or something.
Anyway, data storage is not a problem in MY field -- and I would think that government interests in supercomputing lie in places OTHER than fast database servers or whatever.
that cool face isn't really too visible anymore. Either erosion has changed the look of the rock, or there were shadows when the picture was taken (and I forget which).
Works fine for me. All I had to do was go into one of the config files and enter the card specifics and then use the Orinoco driver.
I had problems with it disconnecting and then having a fit (i.e. printing error messages at like 50 million per second). I upgraded my wireless drivers and that took care of it.
Just an FYI in case anybody wants to use that card.
that any fair court would (provided XVID had the funds for a legal battle....doubtful...) see that there is obviously something bad going on here. I think (as others have mentioned) that this would be a good time to really test the GPL in court. Is the FSF interested?
Look at those comparisons between the two DLLs... the assembly is identical between the two. It'd be a damn coinkadink that two independent code bases would be compiled into an identical DLL.
Sounds like you just didn't go to a very good engineering school, IMHO.
Heh, that is an understatement.:-) Thankfully, I don't have to deal with them anymore. And to me, it shoulds like you did go to a good engineering school.
you are absolutely correct. I am Canadian, but living/going to school in the states. When I talk to my dad, he says that what goes on here is nothing like what went on when he went to school in Canada.
I'll admit it though -- the engineering program at my school just plain sucked.:-)
#1: Yup. I've heard of General Education. And do you know what? *flips through catalog*
For example:
American Heritage (6 hours): [boring information] NOTE: Not required for engineering majors.
That's what I'm talking about.
#2: I am quite well adjusted. I just want to make sure that I know something when I get out. It's my money I'm spending, and you'd better be sure that I'm going to get the best education out of it.
#1: Engineers don't take any other courses (from what I've been seeing) besides the engineering courses. No history, humanities, fine arts, etc. It makes for a more well-balanced person. It should be required.
#2: From the engineering programs I've seen lately, it seems as though they're shoving a bunch of formulae at the students and are saying "Here, memorize these." without explaining/proving how/why they work. That is vital. The engineers being churned out now are book smart, cannot apply their knowledge, and do not know where their "knowledge" comes from.
This is why I switched to physics. Generally the same material, except more in depth/proven/etc.
At my BS school, they cut optics out of the physics classes because "Engineers don't need that". What's up with that?

why not Windows XP....errr...umm...damn.
11,000 shall be the number, and 11,000 shall the number be. 10,999 is too low, and not the number, and 11,001 is right out.
Funny yes, informative...no way.
Read the post.

the supermassive blackholes found near the centers of some (most?) galaxies are not (as far as we /know/) formed from a supernova explosion.
If I recall correctly...

Only 1 per family.

I got the chipsets mixed up.

Glad to hear of successes with other programs as well.

But with the "CoolClean" theme for GNOME, I think it is just as viable an option, no?

I've been looking at the University of Toronto... eventually. :-)
