I downloaded the exe and the install went perfectly using wine. The program has launched and I am about to go find a microphone so that I can test it out tonight.
Yes, but look what happend with MAD. We now have tons of nukes that are always that still serve some threat even though the Soviet Union has fallen. What happens when the good guys win? These patent holders have nothing from denying new small companies, who may not want to join on ethical grounds, from not using the patents, but perhaps everyone will end up joining and the absurdity of software patents will be shown, but this definetly seems like a situation where a backlash to the patent buying could become very harmful to the computer community.eh...
NASA was planning on building an array of telescopes just over the ridge of the dark side of the moon. I was just talking about this the other night after helping install a new 24 inch telescope near my hometown. Anyways the designer of the telescope I was working on told me that whoever was in charge of designing the Telescopes has been the most detrimental member of the astronomical communitty in the 20th century (sadly I can not remember his name.) Anyways none of the scopes the guy was building were any good because he was trying to market them as being inexpensive and so they turned out cheap. His companny ran into the ground and they fled the country so that the government could not arrest them for ripping everyone off.
I competed in BEST last year and after winning first place at Capitol BEST (Austin Area), my team went to Texas BEST(Tri-State Competition) and we recieved 5th place in the competition. This is year I was not on the team because my coach left and the new group was not very appealling to me, anyways I know from one of my friends that the Capitol BEST competition happened yesterday and that the BEST topic had been announced 6 weeks ago. The only thing new now is that teams are begging to qualify for the "national" level competitions. Anyways after saying that now it is time for my ranting on the competition.
First of all the electronics in the kit which each team is provided are very basic, ony have one four channel controller, 3 servos, 2 large motors and 2 small motors. These electronics often fail, at unexpected time and the judges at the contest almost always blame your soldering skills and robot setup until the try the equipment on something else and realized it sucks. The most annoying part is that the controller is in now way programmable to even receive complex commands you have two joysticks and to get the robot to use both wheels while turning you have to make the controls for the wheels on the diagonal axises of the auto centering stick and use the other stick to control the motors. The robots come nowhere near autonomous and they engineering aspect which is stressed so highly by the competition is really just learning to deal with faulty equipment and hold your temper while talking to dumbasses.
Does this mean that my brother in Georgia (I live in Texas) can't send me digital photos that he has taken. The photographs are copyrighted and he is using AIM for file sharing, so this fits the criteria for the law. Furthermore would AOL be fined if people used AIM to file share. It would be shccking for the government to bring charges on the largest ISP in America for sponsoring a service that supports file sharring. I'm probably wrong but oh well...
Whenever I hear of Carnegie it is about how he oppressed his workers and had a massive trust which was unhealthy for the economy. I am not verry researched in this area and so I am not asserting this as fact, merely what I hear.
Try VLC. It's not xine or mplayer but it supports plenty of codes including dvd play and it has a server program set up to display movies to remote hosts.
I purchased one of these keyboards a few months ago and allthough I have come quite accustomed to using it I still have problems hitting the delete key (which is next to Ctrl) and I the arrow key position is annoying. In time you get used to it but when I am on a different box and then go back it takes a few minutes before I start typing right. The most annoying is in a shell when I accidently hit home when trying to hit back and then type stuff in the wrong location of some big command.
I think the benefit of a PC card is that it is internal. As upposed to having an external network adapter that is bulky, more apt to fall or break, and harder to move if you are walking around with the laptop. All though more USB and firewire ports would be benefitial I think the PC card is nessecary to maintain a compact and sleek laptop design.
Simply put this is the same as outlawing cameras because they can be used to take the child pornography photos. It is a moronic and flimsy case for the RIAA.
I think the better thing is that you could spread it out over a thin sheet instead of making the battery shapes of right now. Like you could cover the bottom of a laptopcase with them. That is just my two cents.
Well if you look at the code submitter for the Read-Copy Update infrastructure on the Kernel mailout it can be seen that the code was submitted by Dipankar Sarma. Doing a quick google search at can be seen that Sarma knows his stuff about RCU's and has worked with them before. I can not seem to find if he works at IBM or not but that is just somethign I noticed.
I know logitech makes a mouse with a full track ball in the thumb position. I have not use it though so I could not comment on how good it is, but I asume if it can not be configured automaticly to act as a scroll wheel that the drivers would not be overly difficult to create.
This may be overly semantic but isn't one of the benefirs of space travel that you can talk in volume instead of area. With the zero gravity environment you can effectivle get almost two rooms out of one since the roof can be used as another floor, as well as the walls since you can not really orient yourself up or down. Wouldn't this make quite a bit of difference in the mock situation? I mean it would give more room for both people and supplies. Perhaps they have found a way to get past this, but I do not see it.
Perhaps DARPA has no real intention of getting a complete vehicle design by one of these teams. But instead they think that this project will create more thoughts and new directions to take what they have already done. They may just be trying to get some bored engineers/programers/geeks to do some work that they find interetsting and take the ideas and expand upon them. Just my $0.02.
I wish I had known about this at one in the morning today. One of my favorite bands, The Fire Theft, but unfortunatly I could not make the hour drive to Austin. Oh well, at least now I can laugh at the screaming drunk people that can be heard over the broadcasts with out having to breathe their second hand smoke.
Most people do not need large 200GB drives for their home computers but they are often used in servers. The advancement of servers is helping to get a more stable web community and since the internet is currently the main driving force behind computers this is quite important.
Well I am recieving a UDP 1434 request about once every 5 minutes on my homenetwork. Doing so IP whois I have found out that the request have come from: <i>RIPE Network Coordination Centre, Vanderbilt University, Sprint, and Asia Pacific Network Information Centre</i>. So they look to be pretty generic sources and quite possibly spoofed. Just my $0.02.

Does anyone have the source code for this so I can recompile the kernel of the zebra fish I bought the other day?

Perhaps it will be Red Hat GNU/Hurd?
I think the main reason this is reported is not the bug but the way that microsoft has proposed to fix the bugs.
