No. They are not. Your information is wrong. Check your sources.
We will be without a space observatory for at least 6 years before Icarus goes up. The Icarus program is fighting right now for funding that was cut do to the latest gulf war. Icarus also is fighting for funding that is now headed towards the vaporus human settlement on the moon and mars.
The loss of Hubble is a monumental loss of at least six years of cutting edge science and duplicated effort. Hubble proved the existence of black holes yet several million dollars of upgrade parts lie in storage in florida never to see the light of day, or space for that matter.
In short. What a waste.

You lost me at Pneunomic. While you post might be very sage-like. I finding that perhaps it is a little to pneunomical for my obviously dimished intellect.
Perhaps you are being to refliacle for your perpendenscantic point to be made in a intelicular fashion.
I saw all of the LOTRs but I was not that fond of any of them. I did not read the books either. I just assumed that Jackson was constrained to tell the story in a laborious, linear, dramatic fashion because the story was so well known by everyone.
I winced at some of the dialog between Sam and Frodo. Some of it was just too sugary sweet or gay or whatever.
The cinematography and especially the CG was good though. Those sparking views of the elf city and the cave scene were really beautiful.
I don't think that it should have won so many Oscars though. It took oscars from some really great films like 'dirty pretty things' among others. If I judge it as another movie as opposed to the adaptation of a story they were just good movies, not great.
Good spelling, I have not been there long enough to catch a dupe or not and well written articles for just a 10 second ad every day. I don't get the slashdot banter but, maybe I could live without that anyways.
I believe that soon Napster will regain it's lost mindshare of the worlds music afficianados and become the pre-eminent supply of music in digital format.
You problem is not spanning tree. More likely it is in the configuration of the router for (cisco) Ip-helper or Bootp/dhcp forwarding. Turning off spanning tree in a multi-switch environment is almost always a rotten idea. The next time a switch boots or somebody does work you can quick freeze every connected switch in the environment in less than a second.
Come on. Do research and please don't make these kinds of statements.
"In reality" should be "In your reality". Perceieved reality is relative.
I respect your point. Good hardware vendors design new gear to be backwards compatible perserving the owners investment.
But don't argue about the relativity of reality. That's just another slashbot hack to preserve the validity of what everyone knows is only another opinion in a sea of opinions.
I am a former Cisco engineer and a long time router guy. The reason you don't see _any_ lowend routers with IPv6 support is that there is nil to no demand in the low end market for ipv6 at this time.
This functionality is provided by means of intelligent NAT / Application portmapping. I have not yet heard of a DSL/Cable provider providing IPv6 all the way to the inside of someones house for host use at this time.
Cisco will want to upsell you to a better router to do IPv6. But right now if you are going to to IPv6 you are sure as hell going to be the same type of consumer that needs Hot Standby Router Protocol (or VRRP) and you will probably need interfaces to attach DS3 or OC level serial links to the device. You will need debug to check framing and you will need real routing protocols like OSPF and BGP.
In short you will need a real router rather than a static NAT translation/firewall device.
I am certainly feeling the "grass is(sic) greener" fallacy. I'm loving it baby. I have spent less time maintaining this box in 3 years as I have keeping my windows box going in three months. No exaggeration.
And you try to do multimedia sequencing and video on a PC... masochism or ignorance. There may not be a decent OS but OSX will be what I am using in the interim.
After that I will switch to GNU HURD. HA! I kill me!
My TiBook has lasted through three years, one of which was spent backpacking through Europe. It has had probably less than 20 freezeups total in it's lifetime running Logic Audio, and cubase with a shitload of obscure plugins and running OSX ilk as well.
Never in my life had I had a computer give me more value. In the past I have owned pretty good stuff to like Thinkpads and inspirons.
I love it. Fink rocks. and if you get one you may well be like "what's linux ?" Because for me, this computer really has become my *nix box. I may build another linux/BSD box to use as a router and a ftp server but my days of trying to run it for a desktop are probably over at least for the near future.
I don't feel guilty. I know that the next time I build a linux box there will be several more years of rapid development waiting for me. I think maybe someday linux will be as good of a desktop as OSX. And That would ROCK.
I would not buy based on the simple fact that it is made by Creative Labs. Honestly, that company pushes out so many disposable Best Buy products every year that they should pay a landfill tax.
Nope. Rather pay more for an iPod. Better product buy a better company... not a toy.
There may be some serious contenders to the iPod but this does not look like one of them.
I'd give it four years before this sort of thing is an absolute pop culture throughout cities in America. People will line up to see artists sync video/sound and lights live in their locations.
I have no doubt about it whatsoever.
Better get off my ass and check so that I can see it before it's bigger than mayonaise.
Contrary to what you are trying to tell me. Election Software _is_ trivial. It's a database application and a simple one at that.
So what, the code changes due to location. Code it! You coder monkey! Yeah yeah, you can't be bothered to rewrite software and blah blah.... just obfuscate it with more hardware and stupid emulation until the software can fail and no one knows.
It's obviously important software to write and test wisely. To me, it's about 5000 times more important than a new net module that masquerades apple talk into SPX traffic for inclusion into a Pepsi machine.
A few generations ago, they had to win a world war. Now my crap tech generation will tell me it's to hard to make voting software because it's not fun. At the same time personal liberties fly out the window from well paid techies showing no personal responsibility whatsoever. Your soft and pasty and I don't see the intelligence, only arrogance.
Agreed. What's more is people with lower Karma are only allowed 2 posts per day.
The commentary here sucks now. Everyone who is posting is just trying to say the right thing rather than how they feel. Clued readers see right through this and seek enlightenment elsewhere. Slashdot will hurt itself in the long run by not encouraging diversity of opinion amongst it's readers. All of those blowhard one point conservatives like Rush Limbaugh or Bill O' Reilly or the smartass liberal guys with only side of the story eventually become tiresome. So shall slashdot.
At some point slashdot will be as relevant as bernoulli media is today.
I have one of those. Love it. Quality does not suck, it sounds as good as the line level input on the back of the stereo.
I have used it for a year and the cassette deck is still good. But, who cares. Who plays cassettes in their car any more ? That's the idea, extend the life of your old devalued cassette deck car player while other dolts like yourself buy.
After whiners like you have driven the price down and the quality up of some digital car stereo device, intelligent folk like me will go out and splurge 50 bucks on one.
Word. I have not had much luck with those little gadgets that broadcast on fm. They sucked and I still got interference sometimes. No good. I got one of those things that looks like a cassette and has a 8th inch jack for line level audio. You know like you use for a portable cd player.
Works fantastic. No. It's not elegant and it's not new technology but its about $255 less expensive and it probably sounds better to boot.
I used another $150 dollars to replace the Delco speakers all around my car with low end pioneers. And, I got a cigarette lighter power adapter for my player.
Maybe 170$ tops for an incredible improvement in sound quality. This is with a CD player. Someday I'll get an iPod. It would work good with my powerbook. But, I could put in a bangin stereo for the price of an iPod.
Mod this post up. I hate these analogy posts that compare sports cars to application and literature to code. They are the bane of slashdot and a piss poor form of argument at the best.
"What if I painted a picture of a women named Mona ? would I be technically stealing from Leonardo Da Vinci or not ?"
If you are doing it and it feels wrong then you are an asshole for doing it in the first place. The world owes you nothing. You are not entitled to steal if it feels like you are stealing and you feel you need an excuse for your actions than most likely you sir, are an asshole.
"Also, does the driver become a derived work if the person who writes it initially does so to get some hardware working on his Linux box, rather than his other box which runs ObsureOS which also implements this standard device driver interface but the person hasn't installed the hardware on that machine yet?"
Listen to me. That should have been at least two sentences. If you want me to help you answer your question, please use punctuation. UmmKay ?

Hmm. I had kind of assumed that the username/password was part of the official URI spec, but apparently not [w3.org]:
httpaddress
h t t p : / / hostport [ / path ] [ ? search ]
ftpaddress
f t p : / / login / path [ ftptype ]
login
[ user [ : password ] @ ] hostport
hostport
host [ : port ]
Yup. That's what's really going on here.
I just did a search of this entire comments page for the word decrypt and found not a single instance.
Isn't anyone here hacking their cable or sat tv or are you all just too busy downloading mp3s to take the time.
I just don't get slashdot sometimes. But I am trying.

There may be some serious contenders to the iPod but this does not look like one of them.
I'll pay for value in this case.
Yeah a business model providing products on the basis of their quality and innovation could not ever work.
Case in Point.
Cisco is out of business now right ? right ?
We'll at least they are losing money right ? right ?
When 30 "crack whore" chinese companies are competing to spank out mp3 players Apple will already be in another market.
Just as Cisco will already be innovating/acquiring new products.

"offer Java hackers a chance to contribute interfaces, applications, and services to the platform"
Don't you mean Javanese ?
Seriously, Do we not have enough little doo hickeys that play mp3s and store data in every conceivable way yet ?
Of all the purchases that I have made I consider paying big money for a palm pilot, and other useless gadgets to be fiscally irresponsible.
I suppose you have got to blow your money on something right ?
I rather get a little shuttle pc and cobble my own. Then at least, I would be invested in the fruitless venture.
