nah, most of the world's business isn't done by online catalogs & shopping, and most of the money I spend during the year has nothing to do with the internet.
rifles usually accelerate bullets to more than the speed of sound in air, but poster is referring to neat business of deflagration speed being less than detonation speed which is shock wave and flame front moving together, and the bullet will not travel faster than those speeds, as guns use deflagration. Chemical detonations and deflagrations can't impart escape velocity to a projectile, but compressed gas could.
what the...??? SONAR is sound waves, not electromagnetic, and not in the megahertz range of UHF and VHF. The high frequency sonar goes into the hundreds of KHz, but has much more limited range than low frequency sonar. By reflection from the surface and lower lays, it is sometimes possible to go to a few hundred miles with low frequency sonar, but then we're talking about signal strength so low as to be inaudible to humans and probably to sea creatures too.
weird, that's also in the SuSE 10 screensaver collection, and when it did BSOD friday night I almost fouled my britches, it did a VMS crash and I used to be a Vax/VMS admin. Took a second before brain started working and I realized, hey, I haven't run a Vax cluster in years and this is a Linux on i686 box! BTW, only VMS crash I saw in real life was when sytem disk filled up with certain log files that weren't on my rotate/purge batch file.
there are potential problems with such technology that might give even an atheist pause: how about a government or corporations creating a situation whereby people are coerced or misled into terminating pregnancy for the sole purpose of harvesting? Already abortion clinics agressively steer patients away from at-home medicinal abortions in favor of surgical procedure; I'm already wondering about the affect on profit margin for these clinics= were patients able to expressly forbid any material that comes from their bodies to be sold or given to third party.
anyone can make their own Linux distro, we have alot of distros because enough people WANT each and every one of them. We have exactly as many distros as the people want. And still GNU/Linux use grows. How is there dilution of talent when anyone can use a good idea from anyone else's software? Most open source software developers don't work on distro-specific projects anyway. For business, you're really down to about 2 or 3 distros, so what is this leader of a failing company whining about? Maybe he should take a lesson from Linux, open his wares, and let anyone and everyone fork it off in 20 directions. Then get his company into standards with integration, support and services only, where the money is!
don't forget last bullet point: MySQL did make a partnership with the lying, thieving, copyright violating stock fraudsters who are trying to steal Linux, extort money from users of Linux, sue their own customers who use Linux, and invalidate the GPL.
Thus they are to be despised and use of their product is to be discontinued.
The full sentence is "It is derived from BSD, the version of UNIX® developed at the University of California, Berkeley.", which is irrefutable historical fact. Note they are not using "unix" as a generic term, but referring to the specific software work, and are not saying that FreeBSD is "unix". As an aside, I happen to be one of those people who recognize BSD as the true and pure Unix, and lament the fact that the commercial vendors stole the name. However, as one by one they bite the dust, I think in the long haul we'll be down to GNU/Linux and the BSDs, and then maybe we'll get the Unix name back for them.
Some of us have been listening to Microsoft say dumb and rude things about Unix and Linux for over 7 years; after a bellyfull of their slander and FUD and lies and "unbiased studies" conducted by paid stool pigeons, all the while causing businesses to lose billions due to poor security and blue screens of death, we're supposed to treat their new mouthpiece with dignity and respect?
step two would be usurping ip allocation and routing. this will be fun, bring it on and we'll see who's traffic doesn't get where. Major routes come to the U.s. from europe and thence to asia and southeast asia
no, change in women's lifestyle is main cause of declining birth rate: women working and having activities other than procreating, helped in part by birth control, but also just not the desire to be stuck at home raising babies.
It's great to see ONE distro maker starting to think along these lines, we may have a useable-by-the-masses distro one day yet!
My brain couldn't help but spit out additional steps to the ones you listed just like a stock ticker during the crash of 1929:.....and load some kernel modules to make your nonstandard usb device work (you did remember to stop in middle of install and build/load extra driver disk). Add video resolution setting to grub menu line so boot won't hang. Chnage permission of device file so usb device will work within window manager, load extra modules for usb support. Modify xine libraries so consumer DVD will play even though may be illegal. Update j2re runtime......
nonsense, I don't want the same distro in my cell phone or router as my desktop or server or supercomputing cluster. For AVERAGE computer user, there's about two distros I've seen that they're going to get at the local Best Buy, what's so complicated about that? If they're a little more computer savvy, then they can play with the others.
Having done both at various times over 24 years, here's the poop for USA:
1. you'll have to make more than 50% as self-employed as you do salary to keep about the same benefits and have same income after taxes counting time between gigs making $0.
2. mediocre health insurance not including dental or eye for whole family: $430/month near chicago area, other posters might also give some rates.
3. Bookkeeping will be a pain: educate yourself on estimating and making quarterly tax payments or just opting to pay penalty, keep record and receipts, know tax laws for business expensing, entertainment expense, and use of vehicle, which is complicated. Tax software for the self-employed helps a great deal, highly reccomended.
4. Don't quit your day job and then start a business or look for contract work. Start your business while you work, or get a contract with appropriate start date and then quit job with proper two weeks notice, don't burn bridges. If you help your current employer to make a smooth transition you can usually use them as a good reference later. So no mooning/flipping the bird/taking dump in desk drawer of the CTO or your boss on the way out
5. Having a search engine friendly resume on internet has lead to most of my 6 -8 month contract jobs in last five years, not bulletin boards or job sites or snail mail or newspaper ads.
6. You can't restrict yourself to projects that are cool or exciting, some might involve some boring/legacy/archane junk that you've done before and the client needs someone with that hard-to-find skill. Happened to me twice in last 3 years.
5. You're in sales/marketing now, baby! of yourself - you need to network with people to see what opportunities are there, let people you you're willing to tackle projects, aggresively pursue follow-on projects and look for other work at clients.
that's very sweet, but I know I could never do 1 MOA anyway with any rifle. I wonder if slashdot article/discussion about merits/disadantages of 5.56mm vs. 6.8mmx45mm replacement would be possible, be more fun than fluffy x86 apple pc rumor mill type stuff.
Not the best round for man-sized (which strangely enough is approx. deer-sized) "game". The M-16's 5.56x45mm is really just a varmit cartridge (ideally sized for racoons, woodchucks, and prarie dogs), a slightly souped up.223 Remington more or less, not much stopping power out at the fringes of its range like your 500 yards (what is your group size anyway, gotta be huge), there's neat charts showing lethality falling off dramatically at beyond 200 yards. Snipers prefer heavier rounds that are man-capable beyond 1,000 yards, the 30 cal. high-power rifle rounds like 7.62x51mm or larger (50 cal. rules!) I wouldn't want to shoot at deer or enemy man at 500 yards in brush with a hyper-velocity lightweight.22, give me something to mow the grass and twigs on the way!
ZDNet ought to be even more successful than it is. On Slashdot, readers ponder the reasons why. For one thing: Paul Murray impedes ZDnet more than he helps. Ignorance issues, coupled with Linux FUD, have caused IT decision makers and IT management to think twice before referencing ZDnet. Slashdot readers also suspects that John Dvorak is stuck on stupid. Basically, ignorance issues on the part of ZDNet editors, about basic copyright,ethical and legal matters, caused some key business and IT leaders to back off ZDnet, while the general negativism of Linux reporting caused many of the individuals whose subscription and readership should have been driving ZDNet hit rates and access up has in fact driven them away.
running fast in the fog so that one rams a freakin' iceberg isn't really an obvious hazard. The Titanic's sister ship served for years afterward with no problems. The design criteria was to survive x partitions breached, and they did x + y and it sank. It failed fully complying with design specs, had ISO 9xxx existed they could even have proudly put the big ISO 9xxx sticker on the (brittle high-sulfur steel) side, it was Quality Ship by todays standards!

wee little hipaa violation there, but other than that it's a great idea

nah, they're always getting excited and peeing on the carpet, which throws off humidity measurements.

How about those of us who'd like to squat and poo-poo on our patent system?

true, that's not where they originated, but the creator of Ruby inspired by and borrowing ideas from Smalltalk is how Ruby got them.

Ruby has a heavy Smalltalk heritage, including the continuations. Just for fun, have a look at Borges , Seaside 2 ported to Ruby!

other OS have had heap protection mechanisms, even one from Microsoft.
