and after some diggin in his blog, i found another
site with a post by same Roland. And this post is surprisingly similar to the one he posted on/. :-)
i still think that AA batteries is a good (if not a better) option:
- good rechargeable AA's last almost as long as li-ion
- you can allways carry some extra, especialy when you dont have access to AC outlet for some time. (and those generaly are much cheaper than device-specific exta li-ion batteries)
is the.cc domain is so popular or this sitefinder thingy just doesnt work right?

...contributed to the Sept. 14 radio system outage over the skies of parts of California, Nevada and Arizona.
The genesis of the problem was the transition in 2001 by Harris Corp. of the Federal Aviation Administration's Voice Switching Control System from Unix-based servers to Microsoft Corp.'s off-the-shelf Windows Advanced Server 2000.
they violated the golden rule: dont touch the system if its working. and they were punished:)
...the move went well except the new system required regular maintenance to prevent data overload.
wtf? the new system, designed to replace old one, was incapable to deal with data load?
why would they "upgrade" it anyway?
Personally, I see this as the action that will establish BD-ROM as the leader of the next-gen disc formats
sony already tried to establish MD (mini-disk) technology few years ago, which was a brilliant sollution for the time. Although, MD's were eaten by cheaper CD-R/RW's
so its way to early to predict something - i guess the most affordable and widespread technology will win
It involved administering five beverages (stout, lager, red wine, pure alcohol and a placebo-like non-alcoholic drink)
hmm... how could they use non-alcoholic drink as placebo? i thought the idea of using placebo is that u dont know its placebo? and how can someone take a drink and dont feel it doesnt contain any alcohol?:)
it's the matter of pros and cons - like for every
thing in our lives. some aspect of coffe are good to healt some are bad. thats just the way things are in life:-)
IMHO, these figures are a bit bloated
According to this article in Toms hardware, prodution yield is about 30%, it it expected to rise up to 60% after two years of production
CPU's are just too complicated to be produced with yield of 98%-99%. Maybe this spokesman was speaking about some other, simplier in design, chips?
using old C++ libs (so-called unmanaged code) from C# is as much pain in the ass as using them from Java using JNI, imho

How C# Was Made
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
most serious C# drawback is that it doesn't have (and probbably will never have) so rich and wide open source community like Java does (Apache group, Object Web group and many many many more...).
Each tiny crappy component, each crappy lib for C# out there on the net is sold, and sometimes for outrageous prices (a month ago seached for a plugin to generate properties from variables - something like getter/setter generator macros, so common in most Java IDEs - found it for 100$ per seat! OMG!). there is no idea of sharing, neither the source nor experience, and this IMHO will be the main cause of C# setback.
And oh, most computer literate people pronouce '#' as 'hash', not 'sharp':-))
I don't think this review can give us any idea about *real* performance of this workstation. Author just didn't manage to run any real benchmarks at all, exept some Java-based benchmark, which isn't very suitable to benchmark machines with different architectures.
So i don't think it's fair to make statement about "the system which barely performs on the level of a P4 1.8ghz machine yet it sells for several times the price"
Actually, IBM Java VM for Linux significantly outperforms Sun's. We have done some research on this topic in Aalborg University in Denmark. Final report is here (if anyone's intrested):

Does anyone tried to do $subj? Is it posible to have X virtual desktop in one monitor, and a virtual console in another?
Or two different virtal desktops or consoles?

moreover, they would consume less power, and this is VERY important in embeded systems

after reading this /. story i surely dont want any bluetooth devices near me :-)
I can't imagine why anyone would use Mono when it can be ripped out from under you by Microsoft's patent attorneys at any moment..
and it will be ripped out by evil M$ attorneys, as soon as it spreads enough. M$ is only waiting till enogh open-source project migrates to mono.
well, prepare your mailboxes for increased amounts "free p0rn site!!! come and see!!!", "see $your_fav_celebrity_name naked!!!" and etc. spam :-)
u can void imac warranty just by removing some screws?

then it most user-friendly computer with least user-firendly warranty

these would be perfect storage - i could fit almost all my divx'es into just one disk :-)
