If people contribute to your code, you have gain. Linus has received man-decades of work on his kernel from other sources. GPL may not guarsntee that someone will contribute or help you, but it has the potential of doing so. You are not guaranteed money because you write a story and hold the copyright either, you have the potential to do so if you can find a buyer.
Er, that chart only goes to within 10 light years. We've been doing wireless communication for over 100 years, and there are about 15,000 stars within 100 light years of earth
bah, a miniscule amount of money involved in a minor glitch in a 3rd party system putting in an erroneous price that the NASDAQ successfully detected & stopped.....this has nothing to do with how "fragile" the stock market systems are. Move along, nothing to see here.
it's too early to tell, what with first non-teest release, if Fedora will be stable, will really track the RedHat commercial products, or be anything other than a testbed for RedHat for things that may or may not work.
I think anything needed & useful to us can be made by biological processes, no need for nano-assembly to make ANY kind of thing. We see in nature materials with many times the strength of steel, we see data memory & computing structures, power generation & storage, lighting, water purification, medicines etc.etc. So while we may not be building gold bricks out of seawater because we'd like to, we will get necessary things through advanced genetics & biology.
yes, newer big iron has awesome power like you say...but believe it or not I still get calls about jobs with *old* big iron, more than 10 years old, some 20+ years and still kicking!. Some major huge city governments here in the midwest have them, hospitals, banks, insurance & TPA companies. Just as an aside, Fermilab (where I worked many years) had their 4381 (finance & inventory) for 25 years, retired in 1997!
Well, the only socialist countries I know of still have capitalism going too. I could imagine some extreme kinds of socialism being pretty ugly too - China and N. Korea come to mind. Communism, never heard of a country that *really* had that, nothing bigger than a hippy commune, in fact.
heh, since COBOL and RPG allowed it as one possible internal representation. On a not completely unrelated note, gotta love those old Gene Amdahl designed mainframes with their decimal divide instruction.
why not store them the most efficient way of all (for a binary machine, that is)...in binary! one decimal digit takes log base 2 of 10 ~ 3.32 binary digits, or 1,806,141 binary digits to store 6 million decimal digit number
VC's will want 70% or more of your business too. Starting on a shoestring is the way for software/software-based services. My two partners and I have spent $2K thus far in the past year (plus 8000 manhours coding), we'll see if this thing we've built takes off.
Basically, the Novell-SuSE Linux will also be the IBM distribution, read biz news about all the neat wheelings & dealings between IBM and Novell regarding SuSE Linux.
actually, U.S. corporations are starting to have second thoughts about all the outsourced jobs:
1. Much greater overhead to manage an oversees project, such that the savings is really
2. Huge assumed risks - confidentiality of data, true abilities and qualifications of remote people questionable, political instability & nearness & greater accessibility by terrorists in region, lack of legal venue when things go wrong
3. faking of true status/costs/issues of projects by those who strongly reccommended outsourcing, to save face
4. Communication problems, lack of cultural context & "common sense [by whatever definition]" knowledge
The world & human race was better when run by monarchs & dictators? Capitalism is the only thing that gives most of the people a shot at being fed & owning things. As for child labor & how we "exploit" other countries, were the people better or worse off before we evil white folks started to infuse money into their countries? Is it really a horrible thing that a 14 year old can go to work at a shoe factory and help keep his family from starving to death? I think some kids *here* might be better off doing that than some of the bad/wasteful things they do.
Well, the popular usage is different from the actual original one, since the term was coined by Mead, commenting on Moore's paper that said data density would double every 12 to 24 months. Still mostly on track by that definition.
oh look, a wee little a.c. under my posting's toes. How cute! This isn't logic, is just a bullshitting-in-the-bar type of way of saying there's really no knowing what the technical limits of miniaturization will be 15 or more years down the road.
Slashdot Mirror
for some reason, he can communicate out but hasn't ordered in fuel or transport with "his dime". This Monday morning quarterbacking is fun of course.
you upgrade an emachine by spending $400 a couple years later for a new one. no problem.
airplanes don't run on gasoline - they have no aviation fuel to sell or give this idiot
post a link to her picture & we'll mod your karma to the moon!
that's fine, then it's ALL OURS. And these missions let mankind prepare to exploit the resources & wealth of the universe.

Since the 30's??? Wireless communication is over 100 years old.
Darl said he is going after BSD next year, but maybe the license fee for that will be cheaper if he's in a good mood.

doh! that's 15 years for Fermilab's 4381, retired in 1997, search for it on this page

P.S.: of course, looking at the exponent of this prime, we see exactly how many binary digit it takes to encode it.

Evaluating alternatives to RedHat, I've been using SuSE for past 2 weeks & Gnome is now JUST FINE on SuSE.
