See that digital computer you're working on? That was developed by Ames Labratory and Iowa State University.
Being from the east coast, I'm sick of people with the attitude that the only thing that comes out of iowa is corn. Iowa has one of the highest SAT averages in the nation, and some of the best universities, such as Iowa State and University of Iowa. Beleive it or not, there is a world outside of California, New York, and Philadelphia.
Radar was invented to help see German planes coming. Think about it. You're on an island. You have a lot of coast to watch. Sure, you could have guys on the ground with bionocluars, but they can only see so far. In comes radar, allowing the british to see the german formations forming up over france before they came in, and dispatch the RAF to be waiting for them when they came in.
Here's the thing: America used to be on the bleeding edge on innovation. We used to take risks. Now money is in the hands of a privilaged few, and they don't want to risk losing it.
If America in the 1800s were like America now, we'd have a world-renouned gunsmith academy, but no such thing as interchangeable parts. Automobile manufacturing would be a highly skilled and paid industry.
People with money now see too much risk in using open source software. They've been fed too much FUD from microsoft and they keep buying their software, becuase if it ain't broken, they don't want to fix it.
But the real question... How is he at Counter-Strike!

They're from Finland. For them, summer is the three months out of the year when it's not below zero degrees. I guess you could just blast the heater, but it's a dry heat. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go finish fitting the new wooden bench into my old volvo....
Will this mean that MS must fully integrate java into it's operating system? Or can they get away with just shipping either the free download off of the sun site or even just including a link to download it off it the sun website. Will they have to provide support for it over windows update, or do they only have to provide the initial download?
How many hours will it take after the first Palladium boards hit the market for someone to crack it and have linux running on it? Should I have put an 's' onto hours?
Let me get this straight: I'm taking fire, in a trench or something, and I'm supposted to not feel anxiety? What part of a bunch of AK-weilding Afgans screaming at me is supposted to calm me down? Or is the sound of mortars hitting the ground 3 meters from me supposted to be soothing?
Speaking of terraforming, has anyone (scientists,etc) actually thought about how to [realistically/practically] terraform one of the planets, say Venus, Mars, or the Moon?
IANAS (I am not a scientist), but here is the problem with terreforming those planets:
Venus: We'd have to move it away from the sun to have any chance of it being habitable for us. Even if we managed to strip away the CO2 clouds, another layer would form as the sun backed the rocks, causing them to emit more CO2.
Moon: Too little gravity to keep an atmosphere attached. Even if we managed to somehow get an atomosphere on it, it would boil into space quickly, leaving us back at square 1
Mars: The best prospect. A long time ago, when it was geologically active, it could have had an atomosphere thick enough to keep us from suffocating, but after a few hundred / thousand million years of no activity, the atmosphere gradually escaped, leaving us with one too thin to support us. If we could do something to make it geologically active again, or find some other way to increase the atmospheric pressure, it might made habitable.
The token... is currently a wristwatch with a processor running Linux designed by IBM.
hmmm....we have a watch, it obviously has some sort of wi-fi networking if it can keep in touch with the computer. How long until someone is assasinated by launching a DoS attack against his watch? It may not kill, but at least cripple as the watch burns its way through the flesh as the poor NIC on it is overloaded.....
If we use open source housing, soon all the burgulars will know the vulnerabilities of your house and be able to break in easier. Only by keeping housing plans secret can we keep them secure
Linux and Unix users are, in fact, switching to Macs in droves.
Oh my god! They're right. I've finally gotten away from using a proprietary operating system on non-proprietary hardware, and now I'm going to switch to using a proprietary operating system on proprietay hardware.

Yeah, but only because the Canadians were able to do it first.

not to nitpick, but is it 100mw or 1 watt....100 mw = 0.1 w

Too bad they didn't block downloads too. Now leachers will have their way.
