Been working on it for 6 months without multi hundred thousand dollar funding from the govt. It's not just an abstract - it works, and does more . . .
It has been coming for a while now - the end of the anarchy - the end of the tightly knit communities of hackers with criminal records. Like the commercialization of 60's leftism through a lucrative popular culture, the free software movement is starting to lose its roots. The flag is too polished. It's too professional. It basically makes me think that I am looking at evilcorp.com. This is not what free software is supposed to be about - it's supposed to be about things like EFF, stallman, nogifs, sokol, etc - not about appealing to corporate monery mongering beauracrats. It's perfectly fine with me if it stays fringe - in fact, the downfall of freebsd is its mainstream-ness . . .
I have a SD/MMC memory card with plenty of memory, but why do I get ZVUE errors when I put it in the ZVUE?
The ZVUE can read only SD cards formatted in the FAT format. If the card is formatted in FAT32 the ZVUE cannot read it. To use the FAT32 formatted card, reformat the card in the FAT format.
To format a SD memory card in Windows, right click on the card's icon, and select [Format] from the right click menu. You then select the standard "FAT" format from the Format Panel Window.
To find out whether a card is FAT or FAT32 you can check its properties in Windows by right clicking on the card's icon, and selecting [Properties] from the right click menu.
Heh, hold on, they are using this data to support a claim, not state it is true. They are not implying that solid empirical laws were determined from the experiment, just that there is enough difference between the two (sleep and awake) to imply that there may be a correlation between sleep and ability. Of course, further tests need to be done, but I don't think you can dismiss these results as arbitrary. I mean, what kind of statistical variation are you looking for? 0/100? 10/90? 20/80? How many tests should be administered? I think the level of statistical variation can give some idea of to what extent sleep is a factor, which is something else that can be derived with more results. However, I think it definitely does support the claim that sleep is a factor.
It's not just a matter of relaxation, although that does have psychological effects. However, during REM sleep (when dreaming occurs) the brain synthesizes proteins that form long term memory. Long and short term memory are actually physiologically different. Short term memory are synapses created throughout the day on the fly, long term memory is created during REM sleep or during times when you may be zoning out (this is controversial). If finding innovative solutions can be statistically broken down as propotional to the amount of nueral connections involved in the processing of the question in the solution space, then it would make sense that people that sleep in REM sleep, which has a much higher level of brain activity, would be more apt to finding the innovative solution. However, it's nice to see that there are numbers that back this up.

Things like this hinder development. It's an unproductive way of getting money - - like killing some project to save money. In the end all you have is less then you started with. It's pathetic that companies still try this tactic.
If 3 modal bits aren't enough to make you screw up everey day on your keyboard try 101 modal keys with 7 possible bits on each! This new advanced design will guaruntee to decrease your accuracy more then trying to type with your elbows!
I don't think that cynicism is really applicable just yet.
Take a look at
http://www.whitehouse.gov/kids/
It indirectly teaches nationalism and pride but I don't see any ignorant propaganda, an answer to a question not fully understood or explained. It doesn't actually get that political.
Of course, it's not about the spin that such sites would get but about the unforgivable closure of part of the internet.
Ever since the classic memex publication of 1948, there have been strives for marvelous machines that allow you to create and view other creations on marvelous machines (more or less). The internet pretty much does this becoming the closest thing to practical free speech for all.
(With respect to the US)
The founding fathers had no quarrels over free speech because for poorly supported or funded ideas, any dissemination of the ideas therein to some large group was inconcievable.
The internet blows this out of the water. Search engines should not (but perhaps may) distinguish between and extraordinarily popular opinion and its dissenters. Alowing for dissent to reach critical mass. This has allowed the success of modern grassroot political movements like moveon.org.
By placing a section of the internet wherein ideas are regulated and free speech is not technically allowed, this revolutionary power of the internet dissappears.
If this was the intent, then I can expect in the near future more similar systems. For those cynics they could see this as a dinosaur government trying to eliminate this practical method of free speech which does in fact eliminate free speech for all mass intents and purposes while still perserving it on paper.
Would you expect the DOD to use a plane that it does not know the internal workings of or use some weapon it doesn't have the blue prints for? Is something that is secure only because of the fact that nobody knows how it was built, really secure for long? Engineering principles used to make most technologies are reversible. Get enough good reverse engineers on the task and they can make up the blue-print from the product and there goes your security.
Look, there are more bug and security reports in the secretive closed source proprietary systems like HP-UX 10.20 or MS Windows then there are in the flamboyantly open OpenBSD (it's in the name).
I think that leaving people ignorant has failed long enough, let's give education a chance.
I ask, What keeps people away from Linux? The question is about mass acceptance, not about theoretical supremacy. Arrogance: If someone wants to do something, they are expected by a large portion to do thorough research and have a working knowledge of the issues before asking for assitance. Otherwise little help or sympathy is available. Lack of Portability: Try using sane, a supposedly portable version of scanner software for UN*X originally written in Linux. Here is an example from the man page sane umax pp: 1- ECPEPP will only work if you use a 2 4 kernel with ppdev character device support. 2- This backend does support parport sharing only if you have a kernel with ppdev support. 3- Note that if you are using a Kernel 2 2 x or better, the first parallel port is named lp 0 regardless of the base address. However, this backend requires the base address of your port. If you are not sure which port your scanner is connected to, have a look at your etc modules.conf.
The author has not made or documented the slightest effort of portability and it seems that the author is completely oblivious to systems other than intel on linux. Liberalism: Do not assume that others are willing to be caught up in the political tension of linux or have a desire to use such a political product. Being an extreme political statement at least in the United States will limit acceptance. Interaction:In Windows after clicking on help you are asked how you would like to optimize a searchable database. Why is one looking for help delayed with a question about database management? When one wishes to modify a system it is usually to alter the capabilities of it and not focus on the process of modifcation. A desire to print leads to printer installation. Printer installation should primarily facilitate a desire to print and not an intellectual journey. Quiz questions and intentional tricks on the reader addresses an issue not sought. Education should be seperate from these type of utilitarian processes and serves as a hinderance otherwise. GPL: Because of the GPL source is the only way that software is offered some times which forces someone that wants to use a program be temporarily prevented from doing so to compile code. So much competition is encouraged by the GPL that confusion is caused by the dozens upon dozens of almost identicle choices that are available. Lack of adequate clones: I am referring to that which is seen as a paradigm: Word, Excel, standard keyboard layout et cetra. A clone is an alternate application of a paradigm without intention of subversion. To America Online users a pure ISP is not a adequate replacement for America Online because it does things in a different frame of thought. The paradigm subversive nature of Linux related projects can lead to a large gap perhaps as a result of developer rebellion or arrogance. Support: To most a computer is like a car. If a car is broken most people don't seek to fix it themselves. Yet this or using the local Linux Users Group is encouraged in the Linux community. To those that see a computer the same way as a car an established brick and morter place is preferred.
And in other news, Microsoft STILL runs some of its servers on FreeBSD, Linux.

MS using linux is like Senator Joseph McCarthy carrying around The Communist Manifesto with him.
It's not necessarily about the idea of a user group, it is moreover the idea of deception. I would not mind a Microsoft supported User Group as long as Microsoft states that they have a supported a User Group. It is the idea of group scams, like smokers coalitions by the tobacco companies, or the lumber industry protection groups supported by the lumber industry. These were not formed by concerned, empathetic, sympathetic, or caring people but by money and then presented as a user group in such a way that people would assume that there is grass root support for things like that. It is a matter of tricky Hill & Knowlton style marketting, not a matter of personal freedom or rights.

Sure can! Real/32 can also. There are plenty that can. MS isn't one of them.

A logical flaw I see, I'm sure a lot of morons with power will make the same one soon.
