Sun IS Openoffice. All but 4 of the main openoffice developers are paid by them. Maybe paying some programmers would help much more for the direction of openoffice than complaining...
Er, what are you smoking? That video has 320x240. Thats 1/4 of the pixel of a normal "SD" broadcast. Plus its a talking head scenario. Thats just pathetic as a test of encoding amazement... A good AVC codec should cope that content at full resolution with that framerate.
Er. And what does determine the right to vote, work, ect? A french (or other EU country) citizenship. Which is established by that "carte d'identité", or a german "personalausweis", ect.
Hm. I am no linux expert, but wouldnt it be perfectly possible to make a linux version, that lets say downloads and executes a shell script that kills you user directory?
You are telling it exactly: 20 WPM isnt exactly fast (absolutely), and it requires months of training to get there...
Morse can be fucking fast, but only of you have a) the talent (some people like me never get it) and b) spend a good part of your life into perfecting it.
I had morse (as a basic) when i was in the army, and i just didnt get it right. But some of the older guys there (who started in the 50s or 60s) were faster than i could type at that point.
My guess is that most applications simply use an install script that defaults to a reboot, and they dont disable it "because it cant hurt".
I always click on "restart later" (most often MUCH later:) ), and it never prevented ANY programm that didnt install a kernel level driver from working.
How do you define 90% of scientific computation? If you mean programms developed, or manhours spend coding, you might be right.
But noone with his brain intact would run REAL scientific computing (like that all thats stuff burning away TFlop years on the big clusters) on Matlab or "similar languages/enviroments". As soon as cpu hours start to cost money, its worth porting the solutions to something a bit more suited to the task.
A brown dwarf cannot be a planet. A planet cannot be a brown dwarf.
Thus none of those planets they found are huge brown dwarfs.
(just a reminder: Brown dwarf: deuterium fusion, 15times at least jupitermasses, main series dwarf:hydrogen fusion, at least 70times the mass of jupiter. Everything below: planets. Like this one)
Well, actually lots of people working in that area asked themselves the same question:)
Yes, there are non-stars that dont support "normal"fusion but still create energy by deuterium fusion. But even for this a limit can be calculated. Normal Hydrogen burning stars start at around 7% of the mass of the sun, deuterium burning ones are normally called brown dward and start around 1.5% of M_sol. So still about 3 times that of this planet here.
You have to understand that those fusion processes are EXTREMELY temperature sensitive (we are talking about T^18 for pp, and it only gets worse for heavier fusion reactions, CC should be around T^50). So a star thats just a little smaller and thus cooler in the core than the limit already has nearly zero activity.
To dissolve it as a ring, you would need about 1" resolution (else you couldnt see the dimming in the centre). This is possible through the earth athmosphere without adaptive optics (barely), but you would need at least a 25cm mirror because of the defraction limit. And even with it it should be to dim to be visible with an integration time thats possible with normal equipment (LN2 cooled CCDS,ect). This thing may be a galaxy with 10^12 L_sol, but it has a z>3, so its really damn far away...
FYI: Black holes were predicted (in rough sketches) in the 19th century, and the exact formulations were made by Schwarzschild 1917 (iirc) after recieving word of Einsteins publications.
You may have heard Hawking and black holes mentioned to gether, but this is only about hawking radiation (which still hasnt been verified (although it is very likely)).

And how to you get a voting card without an ID card?
Its just another layer of abstraction.
Er.
And what does determine the right to vote, work, ect? A french (or other EU country) citizenship.

Just a hint.
Read the article (the first link) and look at the comments posted to the story.
I guess he is making fun of those idiots.
Come on.
This bug was a classified bugzilla item since nobody-knows-when.
So starting the stopwatches NOW would be pointless, wouldnt it?
oh my, I just read the article and it seems that happened already :)
Hm.

You have to explain your reasoning.
Fact a: There are 100s of kernel developer.
Fact b: Most work is done by a small elite.
What would change if he had choosen the top10 or the top 50?
You know, microsoft was a a startup run by REAL firt generation people, and they had no problems getting evil even without the founders leaving.
Going public was just the first step, being billionaires will do the sufficient attitude adjustment to the founders.
Then you never looked closely.
Something like that can be found on most crt monitors and nearly every harddisk.
My guess is that most applications simply use an install script that defaults to a reboot, and they dont disable it "because it cant hurt".

But computer gaming forum (especially those from magazines) tend to be the most childish, trollish places on the whole web.
And all the fanboys flaming each other and the fact that the average forum poster is 11 doesnt help a bit.

Have you looked closer at cell?
those "auxillary processor units" make up 75% of the die and have 95% of the computing power of cell.
Why bother with channels/channel changing?
Just dont tune in a channel and listen to the noise/take only the least significant bits.
Should work more reliable.
If this prof writes code like he writes documents, i dont wanna see the results...

Er.
The paper especially states that its the best sample yet that is
a) visible in the optical
b) having a "strong" lense

Come on, insightful? For a fortune cookie slogan?
And no, they cant see us better, because the light from our direction that is visible in the target galaxy is from a time where out sun didnt exist.
