I've looked at this book in the store, but like most people, my budget is not infinite. It just never moved very high on my priority list. I appreciate the free book very much.
Maybe there's a new law on the internet: Everything will be free if you wait long enough.
They're trolling you on a technicality. When they say that the Constitution does not give them any rights, what they mean is that they have those rights because they are human, and the Constitution merely acknowleges that those rights exists and spells out the protection of the preexisting rights in black and white.
I dislike marketers as much as any programmer, or for that matter, anyone who's had their dinner interrupted by a phone call. But Novell needs better marketing in general. They've got really neat technology, but nobody knows about it. I think that if Novell discovered cold fusion they wouldn't tell anyone. The most they'd do is but a little paper sign on the door of the laboratory saying "cold fusion inside - don't tell anyone."
So, without the proper marketing, I doubt anyone will ever discover that Novell can be a web services platform, or that there's a built-in database that's ready to use.
But you forget that almost nobody really cares about proposal Z or who the dog catcher is. The low voter turnout enables a unified minority to rule the majority.
He must be talking about the POSIX compatibility that Windows advertizes. Or maybe he's talking about Windows Services for UNIX Whatever that is. It runs on Windows and provides a bunch of UNIX programs. So why didn't they name it UNIX services for Windows and save a bunch of confusion?
Still the diffraction pattern from just one high-resolution hologram can easily use up more than a terabyte of data--enough to fill 1,600 compact discs
This is the kind of technology that pushes the speed of technology forward. Not only will gigantahumongous hard drives be required to hold this data, but extremely large memories, fast processors, and fast video systems will be needed. For a few years now computers have been quite fast enough. The web only needed a certain amount of horsepower, and as much as Microsoft has tried, there really a limit to how bloated and slow IE can be made. The newer chips eat IE for lunch. That's bad news for chipmakers, because it's hard to sell faster computers to customers who are satisfied.
This technology is not just going to help whoever develops and sells it, it's going to indirectly help everyone. Get ready for the next tech bubble in the next few years - except this time, when Greenspan says the magic words "irrational exhuberance" sell that shit.
Even considering the worst case scenario - all major studios go out of business - that still leaves a wide open market for people to make movies and sell them for money.
It's completely absurd to think that movies MUST be made by companies named "Paramount Pictures" or "Universal Studios". There's nothing magical about those names. If they can't stay in business, or refuse to change enough to stay in business, then screw them. Time for new blood.
I'll be worse than that. The cartridge will be an expensive pressurized job, and when it's empty (10 hours) you can't refill it without special equipment.
They'll have a hold on us by the batteries! Ladies, you can't get out of this one on a technicality... ba DUM dum.
That's not true. I was searched by a helpful, if not portly, security lady. She politely informed me that I was allowed to have only one lighter, not the two she found in my laptop bag. Helpfully, she allowed me to choose which of my two lighters I'd like to give to her. I chose the older one, as I am not the sentimental type and it was nearly out of butane. I was then allowed to board the aircraft and proceed safely to my destination.
So, you can take a butane lighter on board a plane, but only one at a time. On the other hand, you can easily order several alcoholic drinks like vodka which would combust very nicely from the comfort of your spacious seat.
In a couple years we'll all be complaining about expensive fuel cell cartridges that can't be refilled without hacking around a security chip. We'll also be complaining about the spammers marketing cheapo printer ink refills AND methanol refills. But we'll sell our souls to the devil to get 10 hours of battery life, won't we?
The first action that "Old Ironsides" and her sisters were in was against the Barbary pirates in what is now Libya. These people were the terrorists of the early 1800's, and the problems they caused were enormous in that part of the world.
So the original poster's conjecture that terrorism is something new doesn't hold up with even the slightest examination of history. Our founding fathers were quite aware of terrorism. Some of them even were called terrorists by the government they were rebelling against.
The answer is yes, some versions of the kernel are better than others. But these differences are sometime subtle. As a newbie, your biggest concerns are probably does it run my programs, and does it stay running without crashing. Beyond that you can satisfy your curiosity to get the details. Read the kernel development mailing list archives. Read the kernel source. There's about a zillion different patches that people have written that aren't in the kernel. You can find them and try them out on your own kernel. Take notes, and maybe build a webpage with what you learn.
Now, if there were an alternate method of deployment that did not require such a tight radius (such as orbital manufacture), this problem would not occur.
You answered your own question. Lots of people are thinking about building the thing from an asteroid. The cable grows from the asteroid until it touches the surface of the Earth. No coiling needed.
It's not realistic to think that a rocket can launch the cable. It's going to be massive - billions of metric tons. No rocket could lift that.
I have a wart on my finger and it doesn't respond to the clipping with the nail clippers type of treatment. Lots of blood, but the wart is still there. Very annoying when I'm trying to type or pull a trigger at the firing range. It might look funny, but this just might do the trick.
Hard is relative. For example, glass is quite hard and brittle, but anyone who has handled a very large pane of glass knows that there is some small amount of flexibility there. Fiber optic cables are also famous for this. Glass fibers, yet the cable has to be flexible enough to lay in a trench.
A space elevator would be very long, and over that length it would have a lot of flexibility. I'd say that this stuff is quite promising.

What airline? What route? What flight? Forgive me, but I'm just a little bit skeptical.

No, but several bunnies now list "The Hurd" as a turn-on.

The act was passed in 1996. And just now you are getting around to complying with it. Seems like you have advance notice, so there's no excuse.
Don't bother firing anyone who doesn't comply. It's too late to comply, and too late to save your sorry company.
Go ahead and mod me down, but someone has to have the balls to speak the truth.

Yup. Redhat, I don't even get a Christmas card from you!

net send is not a valid option on the Winders ME that I'm running under VMWare. Is this a special program?
The Onion always make me laugh, not cry.
