The geek who was hired by De Niro's character was running linux. In his mom's basement. I remember seeing a penguin, but I don't recall if it was a doll, or a graphic on the screen.
Yeah, instead of stupid cloth turbins, Muslims could wear little boxes of water on their head. The hot Mideast sun will turn that water into steam, and then, walla -- Mideast peace crisis solved!
It seems to me that there's several ways to confirm the validity of the data.
One, use anonymous, public keys. Create a reputation system where anybody gives a personal rating to anyone else. (Sorta like Slashdot "friend or foe"). Reputations build over time, and some sources will be more reliable than others. You can decide who you will trust to tell you what's going on. You can rate sources, and you can see how others rate sources.
Two, use what's called 'triangulation' in interview journalism. If three or more 'independant' sources agree on a datum, is more likely to be true than if just one says it's true. (if there is some kind of sinister collaboration to hack the triangulation system, fall back on the reputation system).
Did you see Animatrix? It outshines the Matix and Matrix:Reloaded 100 fold.
In fact, I'll bet the whole animated series will be better than Lucas' 2 new POS movies.
DB Filesystem. If properly implemented, it can emulate a standard hierarchical filesystem for apps that need it. It would be just like an SQL query. "SELECT/usr/local/bin FROM hda LIKE redhat7.2"
This would allow drag'n'drop [un]installation.
Why exactly does a source code leak push the project back 4 months? Are they trying to punish the gaming community? Did they need to push back the release, and this is a good excuse?
One day I happened to remember a cartoon I watched oon Saturday morning when I was little. It was about robots in space... some thing like "Robo..." hm...
So I did a google search on "robo". Of course, no luck . Then, "robot cartoon", and finally "saturday morning". Guess what?
Extreme programming was designed for a team of developers. It takes a while to get in the 'zone', eh? What does your 'zone' code look like? Is it well-commented? Readable? If so, you are alright without extreme progamming.
The idea of extreme programming is that it forces you to make readable code, simply because of the fact that you're in the presence of someone else.
If you're in a project where you won't be responsible for the code you write later on, it would be a waste of time to have you write any code at all, if it takes that much time to decipher it.
Google's second main feature, right after it's great search capability, is simplicity. (Actually, these two features are strongly interrelated.)
Knowing MS, they will screw this all to hell with stupid wizards, options, drop down menus, Clippy, etc. Have you seen their "Files and Folders" search in XP, compared to Win98 and 2k? They tried to make it user friendly, but for me, it's harder to use!
If you said, "find a geeble in the haystack", I certainly don't know what a geeble looks like, but I do know what hay looks like. I would present to you the first non-hay thing that I found.

Brute force, aka trial-and-error, is what drives evolution. Brute force created the human brain, your mind, and thought.
Or else .
I meant 'some company'. Weird.
That's interesting, because Mike Judge (sp?) based the character Milton on someone he actually worked with a come company.
The only thing that I can think of is that they are sightings of actual experimental military aircraft. Or else...

Don't put military assets in the sky, and no one will have a reason to wage war in space.
This buys us tons more SCO stories! Keep it coming, fellas! MS-bashing is *so* last century.
Some biotech company isolated the gene and put it in tomatos to make them frost-resistant. Here is a link.

Just saying 'no' doesn't make it 'no'.
How did RH find out about the "linux lottery"?

Now how else would you find this information?

Computer hacking site Slashdot posts instructions for breaking into New York Times Online Website.
Teacher: And the album that you all worked so hard on is now available for download on the internet for free!!
Kids: YYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks to me like a guy with a headache or a cartoon 'swirl of confusion' above his head.
It makes me think that using Be would be a frustrating experience.
Yeah, maybe something more along the lines of bittorrent. That was designed to handle large distribution!
