This may be an ignorant question, but unless the speed of light has changed or massive parts of the universe have moved faster than the speed of light, how can a universe that's 15 billion years old be larger than 30 billion light years wide?
I like backslashes. They give a synopsis of what the collective/. consciousness feels about a (presumably) interesting topic, while giving people the chance to voice their say on the issue as well.
The problem with telepathy over any distance is contention. How do you identify the individual you are going to have telepathic contact with? Do people's brainwaves form some sort of unique signature, like an IP address? If so, how do you get the number without already having contact? Would some sort of domain name server have to exist in the astral plane to resolve individuals?
I am implying that Gaim-vv is in the process of being merged into Gaim, but that the merger will not happen until 2.0 is released. The Gaim-vv website says that gaim-vv is dead. I don't think we should be using (unsupported) "dead" software, in case a security issue were to develop.
Anyone know how does this effects aMSN? The reason I ask is that aMSN supposedly supports video chat, which GAIM doesn't support yet (and likely won't support in 2.0.0).
Can aMSN be used for video chat between 2 yahoo users now?
How about buying the new version of Office only for disabled people? Has to be cheaper (even at full cost) than a site liscence for an entire government.
Actually, OpenDocument is the file format. The people that created the format have stated that they have a plugin for Microsoft Office (Every version from Office 97 to the current version) that will allow Microsoft Office to read and write the OpenDocument format.
This is an excellent way to transition in the government. Start everyone out with the same software they have now, just adding the free plugin to office. As new systems are bought, install Openoffice or another free application and give the computer to the new desk, without buying new licenses for Microsoft office.
If it turns out that the new desktop is to go to someone with a disability, give him one of the older desktops with Microsoft office or put on Linux on the desktop in addition to OpenOffice. Most desktop versions of linux have screen readers and other accessibility options as part of the OS.
I'm just wondering who would run Mac OS 5 on one of these things Talk about security by obscurity!

A beta blocker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_blocker) should help. Take one a couple hours before the exam. I should warn you to try one out on a day when you are not doing anything, first, to make sure you can tolerate the dose you get. Also, while people on chronic beta blockers can drive and operate heavy machinery, you probably shouldn't be driving around for a few hours after taking one if you only take them sporadically.
If there is demand for it, I suppose log term support of 1.5 specifically tailored to the pre-Win2K versions of windows can be done. And if there is really good support (corporate-level, maybe), a separate build taking out all Win2K+ cruft from the 1.5 branch can be done for smaller download sizes.
Technically, they don't need to pay anyone to use PDF format. PDF is an open format that is well documented and (apparently) contains no patents (or, none that anyone has come forward and complained about).
In reality, they should probably pay Adobe a lisencing fee and get "real" PDF support and not worry about a anti-trust case. Though even bundling Adobe-backed PDF creation maybe enough to resurface antitrust issues. (Imagine a small company that is trying to sell a cheap PDF solution to XP users.)

Thanks. The mplayer line is fine. I'll try that at home. My main computer there is runnung Ubuntu 6.06. :-)
Any good applications out there that can rip the audio off of a DVD track?
I would love to copy the songs out of some of my daughter's DVDs to play in the car. I can handle the editing once I get the rip onto my PC.
I'm a Ubuntu person myself, and feel that the Ubuntu forums are excellent.
That being said, I sometimes find answers on the debian forums for obscure problems.
I like backslashes. They give a synopsis of what the collective /. consciousness feels about a (presumably) interesting topic, while giving people the chance to voice their say on the issue as well.
Three articles in a row about OSs, and none of them is Linux.
Just saying. Could use more articles about the alternative OSs on weekdays. (Well, maybe not the Windows XP stuff.)
I like my Microsoft mouse, actually. Forward/Back buttons, scroll wheel, optical. What's not to like?
Okay. Exactly how big is a tomato seed again?
What ever happened to standard units of measure? This is a tech crowd. How about a size in millimeters?
I tried googling "1 tomato seed in millimeters", but that didn't give me a useful number...

And caucasians are not the only americans out there.
High Definition? Exactly how high a definition are we talking about here? Anyone know the resolution of these SSTV transmissions?

I always wondered when multiple mice would be supported.
It's great for when someone remotely logs on to help a user with a problem.
Gameplay would be very interesting - Use one mouse to point and shoot while using another to move around.
You can tutor someone else on the same computer. Maybe have the mice look different so there's no confusion.
Well, now that we know what browser is being used at /., how about just releasing all the stats about the browser habits of /.?

You only had one ancester in the 1600s?
:-)
Maybe you had some others that you haven't found out about yet.

More importantly, auditing of the ReactOS source is more than 90% complete.
A fully audited source will help prevent tainting of code from unscrupulous coders.
What is so special about this macro that it doesn't work in Office 2K or even Office 97?

Truthfully, I don't see that much support.
