on the server side, some of us went to real rock solidness via OpenBSD and FreeBSD 4.x too. As long as we're offtopic, must say you made me laugh, a LOT of my developer friends (some of whom have been with Linux and *BSD for over ten years) are buying mini-macs and mac laptops and using them for business and "mac lifestyle" type stuff such as ipod and i-whatever.
suppose the target was somewhere midway between a coil antenna and a detector? or maybe even a common mode rejection amp fed by multiple receivers placed on an arc a fixed distance from the coil?
3.25 x 7.375 x 0.007 = 0.16778 cubic inches to store 80 bytes. So 1024^3 * 0.16778 / 80 = 2.252 million cubic inches to store 1 gigabyte, or 1,303 cubic feet per gigabyte. Or picture a ten by sixteen foot room with 8 foot ceiling full of cards, for a gigabyte. Assume a specific gravity of 1.4 for a good archival polyester film, and that pile o' cards weighs 59 tons.
You're making alot of assumptions, there. Can the world really support a global IT infrasture in even 100 years for everyone at the rate of growth it has now? Maybe the earth really can't take that much poisoning & depletion of resources.
digital media might be useless and unintelligable in a thousand years - what if technology goes in the direction of mods to the human body/plants/animals, or that hyper-advances to technology without common sense just a fad that goes away?
a realistic answer might be a person's lifetime from teenage years plus half the lifetime of a young beneficiary, partner, etc. So over 100 years, anyway.
doesn't excuse the fact/act this data was on a PORTABLE computer (should be a crime in itself), and someone PORTED it.

What's Next At Apple
·
· Score: 1
I too use FreeBSD, but I sadly note there's trouble brewing in the 5.x release: the SMP spinlock implementation is broken/incorrect and it siezes up under heavy load. Mac OS X and an increasing number of Apple SMP boxes make me wonder if the future of BSD has Apple in it.
Copyrights and patents are derived from article I clause 8 of the constitution. That could be changed, but not by everyone standing together and telling the goverment anything, you'd need an amendment. Of course, without copyright, there would be no recognition, any corporation could jack open source code & use for their own purposes without attributing any author (only the excercise of copyright via GPL, BSD license, etc. prevents that now). Most artists, inventors, software and authors would not go for this, I'd bet less than 10% of the populace wants what you want. Also, the goverment and most people would have a huge problem with you copying money, electronic funds transfer keys, nuclear launch codes, credit card numbers, etc. However, there are places on this earth where you can copy as you please; I've been to some of those places. if you live in such a place you'll be wanting to keep your self defense skills honed and carry weapons at all times, lack of regard for life seems to go hand in hand for places that have lack of regard for personal or intellectual property.
at the rate the Hurd is going, that'll be 2015 A.P. (Anno nostri Penguini, the Year of Our Penguin), which is 1991 + 2015 = 4006 a.d. People and AI constructs alike will laud its cool features and ideas, but only students and hobbyists will use it because it will only address up to 1/32 of the storage capacity of a standard positronic brain, and device drivers for neural interconnect to earth's sentient species will be lacking. Later that year, Debian will release Sarge-stable.
fedora: the blowfish sushi of distros, exciting, dangerous and for daredevils. It may kill your machine
redhat: the cafe food in the basement of the megacorp, great food but at airport restaurant prices.
novell/suse: the suits come in the front and pay to sit down and get served the same great food most of which is given away at the soup line in the back.
white hat: sneaks the food away from redhat and does the soup line thing. Some seasoning missing.
mandrake: tastes like redhat with somewhat better seasoning and operated kind of like the suse restaurant
gentoo: gourmet ingredients for you to build your own 9 course dinner, hopefully you don't starve in the meantime
debian: stale, week-past-expiration date bread that won't hurt you, and some rather tasteless but nurishing year-old jerky to put on it.
it is not sexist or racist to point out that an incompetent person put was into a position because their gender or ethnicity merely gives an appearance of diversity to a corporation which has none.
would be cool to have someone do the first solo equatorial great circle flight around the world, but flying is best done over a route that keeps you near nice places to land as much of the time as possible; fly the equator and you'll be passing over places where they stick poison darts in you and/or eat you.
not wavelike at all? photons have no periodic variations in time and space of any property? no periodic variations in that "complex space" you mentioned?
No, Novell broke itself, they didn't innovate and just coasted along with their existing customer base. Windows NT 3.x had much simpler install & admin, had all the major network protocols (tcpip, decnet, appletalk, decnet), ran on five CPU architectures (in the end that was no practical advantage but at the time had people's mindshare, that this was going to be the OS that could run on ANYTHING), could run legacy pc apps on the server side if needed.
The cool thing is how Novell is getting innovative again.
heh, the "standard insolation" is 1KW per square meter, or about 0.645 watts per square inch, and is often quoted as occurring at high noon in Dodge City.

I think with a supercooled quantum detector and highly directional antennae the effective scanning range could be quite a bit more than two inches
you'll be happy to know that to help this situation next year COMDEX will also not be held, but in another city
and the goat.se guy is wondering if this technology could be used to make 24V deep cycle marine batteries for his 90 lbs. jack hammer

chinese culture stagnated a thousand years ago, and lately merely has been copying some of the worst ideas of western civilization.

no Mr. Fogg, it is only 79 days as our transversal of the international date line afforded us an extra day! we are saved!

alot of slashdotters would be qualified to do something we might call the solo mile-high-club all the way around the world, typing with the other hand
i used to have one of those but then I sneezed
and asia is moving to linux in a huge way.
