I disagree. If the Universe is infinite, that only implies to me that Space is infinite. It doesn't mean that Matter can't still be finite. If Matter was also infinite (that's the only way you could have infinite copies of yourself strewn about the cosmos), I would think there would be no room for Space between things.
That's the first time I've ever seen "infinite space" and "no room [...] between things" used in conjunction.
$18 for the wife and I to see "Funny Guy 3: Pratfalls and Flatulence" at the local Chaineplex is decidedly not a good deal.
It's important to remember that the theatre sends almost every penny of that $18 to the production companies. Their only real profit is from the concessions.
While they may piss you off, the only problem that I have with libertarians is the attitude of "do whatever you want, regardless of the consequences" when it comes to economic matters. Unfortunately, that runs counter to the minimum harm ideology behind green.
The best definition of "Libertarian" is: "An anarchist who wants police protection from their slaves."
The post I was replying to was claiming that it was the linking itself which was illegal, when dynamic linking happens after distribution.
This is not so cut and dried when you have multiple sources of the same APIs that are licensed differently. Code isn't GPL incompatible just just because it can be linked against GPL incompatible code.
So I think once computer models get good enough (to make sure we don't destroy ourselves in the process), once one figures out how to slow over time the speed of Pluto around the Sun and bring it down to Mars orbit, we could potentially get those fires going again and it would create an atmosphere that would be thicker, if not even close to Earths. Like I said though, extreme computer modeling of the various scenarios would be needed to see how this might work out.
Wouldn't you want to start with something bigger (initially) than is needed? Since moving something like that would probably involve launching a lot of its mass in the opposite direction...
>"Open source means standing on the shoulders of giants." Uuh, not sure what he means by this. I'm assuming he means IBM. What about Sun, MS, Adobe, and other closed source "Giants"?
It's a reference to a quote from Isaac Newton: "If I have seen farther than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants." It means that you can accomplish much by building on what others have done.
I think the real problem is people who are downloading the whole tree instead of just the patch. I'm sure that the sort of people who are grabbing it as soon as it comes out probably already have the preceding version...
Only a year after there was an official announcement for linux drivers, which was later recanted, intel releases incomplete drivers.
This is not a release, this is basically an alpha for people to help with testing and debugging. It says right on the site that most of the work on it will be in the coming weeks.
Hey is 2004 still using devfs with 2.6? Get with the times guys!
A few months ago when I was using Gentoo (unstable, admittedly- I don't know about stable) all I had to do was 'emerge udev' and the boot scripts automatically took care of everything.
Slashdot Mirror
Isn't "system" a subset of "world"?
I think the number of people using the phrase "Gentoo zealots" has actually now surpassed said group.
Congratulations!

Doesn't the GPL only really apply to distribution of software? Technically, a user at home can link anything they want to.
It happens sometimes where a few people use one source, then then use each other (unwittingly) as confirmation.
Why, because those interstates have always been there, of course!
The manufacturer could just slap on a boiler-plate software EULA and be all set!
I actually was expecting something different- given that story they posted about Groklaw a week back.

In short, either devfs or udev worked.
Whoah. I always thought of him as massive; but slouched over so far that his hands touched the floor.
The specs which encompass Wireless USB and Wireless 1394 are hoped to be used by the next gen Bluetooth as well. Read this.
That depends on what is meant by "media insertion".
Does it simply refer to the physical media being inserted, or does it refer to the computer mounting/accessing the data on that media?
apt-get install kde-libs ????
Something like "DirectSound," perhaps?
That would be an odd comparison; if it was on purpose.
