Anyone find a non-pdf version.
Here is the list of top 100 papers in text form,

Skip down a bit for the actual list of the top 100 papers.
Dell makes a really nice rack-mounted hardware
raid system. We are using these at my work, and
they are pretty slick. You get redundent power
supplies, hot swappable drives, all fast SCSI,
with completely configurable raid levels. You can
choose to split the drives to be on two distinct
raid arrays, or put everything on the same array.
The unit will beep and even email you when one
of the drives fails. With the tech support from Dell, when this happens they have sent us a replacement drive within 24 hours. We keep a spare drive around as well, and you just pop out the old one, pop in the new one, and it rebuilds everything with no downtime.
I'm sure it's not super cheap, but if you really need a good raid system this would be what I would recommend.
I don't know if this will work, but here is a link to their small business storage solutions page.

In all fairness you have been living in the
building before it was officially "open".
In fact, if I recall, the contractors are still working on the building right now. If you look at the progress that has been made just in the past few days, I'm sure they will eventually achieve a large number of the goals they have set for this project.
Can't we just take an image of a DVD like any other media format?
The answer is both Yes and No. Yes, you can use
say DeCSS to create an unencrypted DVD image on
your harddrive. However, without something like
DeCSS you can't simply create this image of the DVD.
The second slight problem is that most DVD movies
are in DVD-9 format, which is twice as large as
the standard DVD-R (4.7 GB). Hence, unless you
have a DVD-9 burner, you can't make a 1:1 copy onto a DVD-R.
The interesting this is that once you have an "region free" decrypted version on your hard-drive the copy protection is gone. Hence, there is no
legal restrictions for any program to manipulate
the image from that point on.
So you can buy programs like Pinnacle's InstantCopy which takes an unprotected DVD image
off your hard-drive, and automatically resizes
(reencodes) the video to make it fit on a DVD-R.
Really the easiest way to keep your software out
of legal problems is to not deal with CSS protected discs, and let some other software program do the work of removing the CSS protection.
DVD X-Copy did everything for you, all at the same time, hence was a single solution to the DVD backup problem. This made them a target.
Is anyone else offering a multiple wireless network configuration tool?
In Windows XP, you can set up wireless profiles, and switching between profiles is easy. I'm hoping for a similar feature in the linux environment.
Call me stupid but my current solution is to just keep multiple configuration files around, and write a shell script to rotate them when I am at the office or at home (e.g. change wep-key, essid,...).
It would be nice if the whole network startup framework in Redhat were smart enough to switch automatically.
I'm running Network Associates VirusScan (provided free by the University here), and when I click on the link, it gets "intercepted" by VirusScan. It tells me that this site is a "trojan" which is attempting to fool me!
It still shows the false page, but at least I was warned that what I am looking at is false.
So, even if Microsoft isn't fixing the problem, it appears that some people like Network Associates are attempting to do their part.
Great fun for the 30 minutes I spent on Windows this week.
Wow, just imagine what MS will do with a news feed.
The whole power of the google news is that it is machine generated, and not directly controlled by a human. Remember that MS search engine is "based on" information found on the internet, but if you search for many well known things like say "linux windows" you get far different results than from other search engines (e.g. Google).
Just imagine once they start putting the same filter on the news feeds! I can't wait to see what sort of bias is introduced.
I'm sorry, but if you can't tell me the correlation between the eigenvector of the (sparse) matrix describing the arrangement of crystal lattice structures in a semi-solid and the mass/energy waveform coefficients, you should be out covering donkey shows, not hard science! (BTW, the eigenvector is directly proportional to the waveform's beta coefficient).
I'm not sure if you fully grasp the difference
between eigenvectors and eigenvalues, so we will all have to cover donkey shows together.
Do we really need that many journalists out covering
donkey shows? How many donkey shows are there
really?
Then again we have something like 350 journalists
all covering Kobe, why not have a few cover some
donkey shows!
So if this becomes mainstream, will software like DVD-X-Copy and
Pinnacle Instant Copy become useless? If you can backup your movies on Dual-Layer discs, then all you need is DeCSS and regular DVD/CD burning software.
Note that the 3d effect requires that your head is positioned properly with respect to the screen. Hence, if you really do "duck and dodge" while playing some game, you will loose the 3d effect everytime your head moves too far to the left or right of the center-line.
On a related note, you can buy Stereo LCD projectors, but most require special glasses that alternate between the left and right eye. On the normal LCD flatpanel display the light is polarized, so you can't use the polarized glasses trick.
The nice thing about having glasses is that it doesn't restrict the viewing angle. Although maybe this is a good thing if you don't want the person next to you looking at the screen.

As far as I know vorbis is just one of the encoders for ogg.
On a related note, has anyone else noticed that the latest vorbis encoder totally ignores the suggested bitrate. I tell it a bitrate of 128 and I get around 260 to 300. It didn't used to behave like this.
The "do not call" list works pretty well within the United States, since the company calling is almost always in the United States. Hence any complaints can be filed within the United States. But I have to wonder if this will work when the person spamming doesn't even live here, or if the company turning a blind eye to the spam isn't a US company. Although some of the most famous spammers are US citizens.

Just think of the applications, like say Skipping Bombs!
And even as a previous slashdot comment, here.
It would have been nice had the original poster cited the original source....
They were able to accomplish the entire trip over a single weekend, including building the rocket.
Of course, the best reason for going is the replentish our supply of Cheese!

A little googling resulted in the same basic story without the registration:
refers to future article in NY Times
and
Over a year ago on CBS News
Since then we would have had proof the competition was fixed!

Did anyone else notice that the name of the user in the name of the user selected for the second screenshot is "Testi".
I bet they had a ball choosing that one :)
Just my 2 cents.
Although, the word "grammer" is in the Oxford English Dictionary. It's listed as an obsolete form of grammar.
Next time I will use my RedHat certification to invoke to ispell (or aspell) command.
Perhaps they can use it to get a job as well.
