But Mandrake does not include kernel source -- this is a huge pain when installing nVidia drivers. Maybe its back now, but recent versions required it to be manually selected/added.
Actually Windows XP does include burning. Just copy files to drive and select burn (similar to OS X's implmentation). IMHO this is actually very intuitive a makes creating a simple data CD very easy. I am guessing that we will see a similar version of CD burning in the near future from some distros.
Does anyone else need to moderate the reposted letter? I can post it here again in case any of the many above posts have the moderation maxed out at +5. Normally I don't repost articles, but there seems to be large demand (or at least supply) for this one. Please advise.
I'm failing to see how this thing can turn about all three axis -- the pictures only show it being rotated about the horizontal axis, what about the other two planes? The fact that it is build using the circle on the inside seems to me that it would only be able to turn about one axis rather than 3.
Does this mean that we may be able to get serveral colors in the near future? Blue iPod? OR, will other Apple products ship in black? Something about a shiny black iBook seems cool to me.
Warning I have not RTFA. However, I would venture a guess that the discounted price would be only to Walmart and not to everyone. Circuit City does not have the market share to make demands like Walmart does. RIAA could tell CC "bad buy 'em high or don't buy 'em at all". They cannot however use that approach on Walmart because the lost revenue would be too high if Walmart were to call this bluff.
With the case of the lights, the total brightness is now 1. So we've gone from having probability, to something definite. You are always going to see that as being on.
Maybe I don't understand the analogy...
Assuming that the light uses a dimmer switch as described in http://home.howstuffworks.com/dimmer-switch.htm/pr intable then the two lights will both be on/off at the same time (same sinusioudal source begin converted to on/off signal). So, the probably of light being on is still 1/2.
If instead, we use an old dimmer (with variable resistor), then it is simply the voltage that is adjusted and the light is on always.
If instead, we assume that light is being driven with a random (i.e. some unique source other than power signal) PWM that is high (light on) 50% of the time? If so, then the probability of _a_ light being on is 1-prob(no light on) = 1-(.5*.5)=.75 so it is not definate (and never will be unless the light state is deterministic).
I too use the fox all the time with few problems. One issue that I seem to have is that some sites take a looong time to initially load but work fine after that. These same sites load very quickly in IE? Anyone know the cause...or more importantly (to me) the solution?

It would be interesting to see what the average GMAIL account size is. More interesting would be whether any of these companies would rethink these large, free email accounts of average users kept them 95% full. Seems that having 95 GB devoted (not just available) to each and every user would be difficult.

I have seen your sig a few times and finally thought I had to comment.
I thought they taped multiple shows a day (5 sticks out in my mine for some reason). If so, then it may only have been a few weeks....although it probably would have gotten pretty hellish after 5-6 days of mulit-hour trivia.
Its not that bad if you are a LaTeX guru (which I am not). IMHO the best thing about LaTeX is that once you have a style file, it is fairly difficult to make a document look different that it is intended. This is not the case with Word, which thinks for you by making bullets, changing case, etc. Yes, I know these options can be turned off, but there are still the strange formatting issues that seem to occur when inserting/deleting lots of stuff and I somehow manage to get odd page breaks (how do you force a table to not split across pages?).
In defense of Word, the "track changes" feature is very handy for having someone else proofread/edit your documents. I use this all the time with my wife's papers and it is far superior to hard-copy editing.
really? Last time I checked most distros take up multiple CDs. Mandrake is 3 full CDs and I believe SuSE and RH are similar.
Sure, 250 is a lot, but after a clean install of Mandrake 10.0 the updates were something around this 250 MB too (I don't recall the exact amount as it was a couple of months ago). Granted, this updated more than just the OS and core apps, but its still a heafty download.
It is accredited by ACICS (which I don't know much about but the list appears to be many second tier schools), but not by ABET, which is who some "big" name schools such as MIT, Georgia Tech, Univ. of Illinois, Rose-Hulman, Notre Dame, Michigan, etc are accredited by.
For some reason this reminds me of a rotary engine. Lets hope they run a little better than those used in the RX-7s, no one wants their heart burning oil (although the added HP is nice).
On a serious note, I've always wondered how artificial hearts adjust pulse (or in this case flow). If I had one of these and went running --probably not a first choice of activities for someone with an artificial heart -- would the flow increase?

100% of the time? Does this seem a little high to anyone else? Don't people take breaks for bathroom, /., etc?

Can someone adjust my thinking?
I just updated to 1.0 and the speeds are much better (though still a little slower than IE)

Pi is irrationat, not complex. In addition, it is the root of the following 1st order polynomial equation
x-pi=0
so is that 3 total (porn=2, serious=1, gfs=0)?
and Sb = {a1,...an}
so Sa ^ Sb = Sb
now if I could only find Sb:)

Or, even better, "I don't want to BE a hypocrite".

DAMN! "except" should not be in the first sentence.
