There's a lot of talk around NASA how this will cause huge headaches for scientists and R&D folks. There are very determined efforts afoot to homogenize Windows support and configuration at all NASA centers. Will make for a great bot target, and will most likely stifle development of new technologies to support NASA missions and objectives.

Only if the 2:34 is an exact subset, or sample, of the complete 4:33 work, right? Otherwise, it could be a completely different composition of rests of different lengths than the 4:33 work.:-)
It is quite pleasant to see that at least two major business news services have their headlines right. Both Reuters and Dow Jones Business News have articles with headlines that mention the doubling of SCO's losses before their lawsuit against AutoZone. The articles are more focused on the massive financial losses SCO has generated and seem to mention the AutoZone suit as more of a side note.
It doesn't really refute the creation story either. If a higher being was/is powerful enough to create Earth, why couldn't he/she/it create anything (or everything) else in the universe? Perhaps we earthlings are far too earth-centric in our thinking.
You seem to have a firm grasp of the beliefs of all religions known to man. Are you certain that all "man-made" religions believe that there is no water on other celestial bodies, or for that matter, life? I'm quite certain thatb many Christians believe without a doubt that there is intelligent life on other planets and won't be surprised at all to hear this news.
Isn't USB 2.0 faster than first-generation firewire? I think USB 2.0 runs at 480mbps and firewire runs at 400mbps. So you're better off with USB 2.0 than with the original firewire. (I hear there is firewire 800mbps, but it's only available on very new systems)
I played with "Legos" (don't let the company know I still call them that!) until I was *at least* 10 years old. As I grew older I moved away from building houses, cars, and other "normal" stuff and started building my own nifty creations like secret vaults with locks and awesome aerial firefighting aircraft. It really got my mind thinking about how practical my creations would be in the real world, and if they followed the laws of physics or not.
Anyway, glad to see Lego getting back to what it always did best. Perhaps they can spin off the Mindstorms branch. I'm sure there are plenty of us who would still buy Mindstorm products.
Unmaintained? Pshaw! The latest beta (with ogg integrated with all of the other formats already supported by the Neuros) was released less than a month ago. You may want to catch up on your reading:
> i won't be happy until there is no spam at all.... That, or capital punishment. Nothing like deterring spam with a good caneing.
Um, I'm sure you mean corporal punishment, not capital punishment. Capital punishment equates to a death sentence. But maybe when we're talking about spammers both are appropriate?

Or, if you have the national edition, pages A24-25.
Yes. $1.05 with tax.
I just got my copy from CVS pharmacy in the Washington, D.C. area. The ad is on A24-A25 in my copy.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
I'd really like to meet that 0.297th person. They must be really skinny, or maybe really short.
It's not just FUNNY, it's IRONIC! Yes folks, that's what irony is.
I can see why. If I was looking at their bottom line I'd be dismayed too!

I'm American. It's not *MY* way of life. Speak for yourself please.

That's absolutely hilarious! ROFL! I tried the link too and got the same thing.

How the hell is parent post "insightful"?? LOL
Oh no? What about O.J.? Same crime, two different courts (criminal vs. civil). Is this the same kind of situation?
Please read the article. It isn't as simple as blocking a port.
... unless you really need to. The last thing the HAM radio folks in NC need is the slashdot effect.

Heh. And yet I get modded down from "1" as "overrated". Go figure.
No, he probably meant this.
Agreed. Why the hell would any company want to stick their hand in a hornets' nest like SCO did anyway? Linus must be right!
