scary thing is there are people out there who do take a wrench or similar and make a spark on a storage battery's terminals to see if there's any charge. might need a makeover after a face full of fire and hot sulphuric acid
at a billion volts everything is a conductor. You could hold a glass or rubber rod high in a thunderstorm and get much the same thing you would with a metal pole. and let's not hear anymore nonsense about electricity "taking the path of least resistance". it does not, MOST of a given current flow will do that, but parallel paths with more resistance will also be taken, but by less current. Even if you short your car battery holding a bus bar with two hands, there's a small amount of current going through your body too.
wrong, it can underperform as it's stock is being traded pink sheet OTC, right now you can get in at.047 cents per share down 0.003 at market close today
most of us don't sit up nights worrying why a bloated, overpriced, 1980's technology closed source software vendor isn't a bigger part of linux. In about two years, there will be no compelling reason to use Oracle as a dbms, as its ass gets kicked by a couple well designed dbms systems, and also by the toy Mysql at the low end
The LISP machines had issues, not the least of which is being designed for running for one user. The full protection, access control and process isolation expected of a modern operating system isn't going to happen on a LISP machine. Those who wanted that had to run a virtual LISP machines on a real operating system.
Besides, while armchair OS coaches may say, "Let's write an OS in high-level langauge X", the majority of real OS in actual use aren't written that way, they're in C (a high low-level language) or lower level.
Funny also these Ivory Tower types who say "we just finished our OS project, which needs to run on Linux/Unix/BSD"

right on, the mafia and the government hate all naughty evil things, if they don't get piece of the action. Enforced by threat and application of force in both cases. Of course, the mafia bosses would tell their underlings not to squeeze the average joe too hard, government forgot that one a long time ago
plenty of BSD in all manner of embedded devices and appliances, some vendors do take OpenBSD's challenges seriously and change their licensing. This has worked in the past and it can also be a benefit to other OS. So Theo might once again gain something good for the whole OSS community

wrong question.
the question is, do members of the "low caste" have the same ability and intelligence as those of other castes, but are being held back and discriminated against and having their opportunity limited?
There are plenty of places in the world just as rich in resources, but the people live in poverty. Freedom and a philosophy of using the mind to solve problems does make a difference for many developed nations. Not to mention a degree of unity which can achieve things alot of groups of divided people can't.
There are latin american countries just as rich in resources, but Spain had some interesting ways of suppressing the development of the middle class hundreds of years ago, and the bad results of that continue to this day.
There are land areas in the countries of the former soviet union which are just as fertile as the midwest U.S., but again cultural and historical baggage hold those people back.
Plenty of areas in Africa that are a mess because of bad government and bad beliefs, the people there don't even have the wherewithal to farm or fish the oceans for a multitude of interesting reasons.
In short, confidence not misplaced, it took brains and brawn and ability to build this country.
there were many nations and tribes of native americans here. Whether they had land "stolen" you'd have to go on a case by case basis. Some were butchering savages who plundered, raped and murdered their own race. Some did attack without provocation and broke peace treaties (despite the popular BS you see in movies that it was always and only the White Man who did that). Many were nomads who claimed no land; yes injustice done to them but of another kind of theft. Having sat on the same resources we now have for thousands of years, just think if any of some of the more technologically advanced groups of them had been just a little better at nation-building, they could have met the europeans with technology 500 years or more ahead of Europe!
English has become the language of international business, but for the first half of our country's history it wasn't. There was french, spanish, and others.
your argument is flawed. it is not capitalism to take advantage of the lower wages an enslaved, communist or caste-system society has as a result of its oppression of people. When you see Bush and his big-business pandering minions, think of a new breed of slave trader.
sure, for constant input applications, I've seen greater than 90% efficiencies for telco dc (-48 vcd) to gate logic level converters, but here we're talking about input voltage going linearly to less than 5% of original value if we don't want to leave any capacity charge/energy unwasted. I'm thinking a converter will be 80% efficicient over such a huge range.
well, Windows ME came out in Sept 2000, less than six years old right now. Security updates for five years for an OS that costs money is probably OK for home use, but I could see some small businesses wanted a somewhat longer cycle.

but let's not forget those minority carriers. they're present, even in your lamp cord.
very cool! maybe we'll finally see more efforts such as this
I use mutt + postfix myself, but it is lacking some of the groupware features of notes.
in soviet russia, what the fucked is you

please tell me of the superior product in the open source realm that does what Lotus Notes does.
hope you washed those down with diet soda, then it's ok

yes, the low caste aren't getting the work or the money. that is the point. the accusation is quite appropriate.
your argument is flawed. it is not capitalism to take advantage of the lower wages an enslaved, communist or caste-system society has as a result of its oppression of people. When you see Bush and his big-business pandering minions, think of a new breed of slave trader.
but they talk funny, and of course any white person who talks funny is likely to be a terrorist too
