And natural - can't forget that. No nasty nano this and nano that. Oak trees give off isoprene, which is converted to formaldehyde by sunlight and water.
Formaldehyde molecules are both nasty and nano sized.
Not to say Oak trees are bad for you, but it is good to remember that Natural != Healthy. There are plenty of naturally occurring poisons.
I thought this as well, but if you RTFA, you would see that Gibson doesn't think the SetAbortProc WMF exploit works the way it should.
According to the docs, SetAbortProc should provide a pointer to callback function that is called when a print is aborted. This in itself sounds like a security hole, but it could only be fired if the print is canceled, and then it can only run a preexisting callback method, not arbitary code.
According to Gibson, if you call SetAbortProc with a special key, it will instantly start running arbitary code from within the WMF. No cancelled print or preexisting method calls are requried.
If Gibson is correct, this bug is much different then how it looks on the surface.
If it absorbs microwaves and heats up, it will be visible to infrared.
Ah, anything that absorbs microwaves will heat up. Conservation of energy kind of makes this the case for all materials. The amount of energy hitting a plane from radar is pretty damn small so I doubt it would emit a measureable amount of IR. It isn't like you fly these planes in a microwave.
I believe one of the largest advantages ZigBee has is link connection time. ZigBee can save power over Bluetooth buy letting the connection drop while not in use and reestablishing the link later.
Think of a TV remote. While this would work with bluetooth, it would have to keep connected constantly to remove the connection lag when you pressed a button. ZigBee has the connection time low enough that you can connect and transmit a small amount of data without as much lag.
Also ZigBee can be setup as a mesh network with multiple type nodes. Low power/cost nodes can conserve power while other powered nodes can rebroadcast the lower powered nodes transmissions.
Should PearPC allow CherryOS to get away with violating their license? How are these two situations different?
The two are COMPLETELY different.
Reverse Engineering is not a copyright violation. If CherryOS would have used PearPC as a reference, nobody would really care. But they didn't RE PearPC, just just copied the code directly.
Now if OSDL was coping BitKeeper code, then I understand.
The big issue is that BitMover would revoke or deny an entire company a non-free license just because of the what a single employee does in their free time. This is like MS revoking licenses to any company that has a FOSS developer on staff. It is just plain wrong.
BTW, do you post as Janne on kerneltrap.org? I having seen so much (self?) bind defending of a company since Linuxgruven screwed over the community.
Damn, I never thought a Noahs flood a the cause of sea fossils. Of course this it the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Coral doesn't wash around. Especally not up hill. Also, the flood wasn't supposted to have lasted long enough for the coral to grow there(thounsands of years at a min).
If people with your belief system would just admit that "it doesn't make since, but that is what I believe" I could have some respect for your beliefs. The bible is not a science book, it is a book of philosophy. The science in the bible is all that the people of the time could understand.
The bible is not evidence. It may be what you base your beliefs on, but that does not make it evidence.
How can you say nothing supports an old earth?
Everyday evidence disproves a young earth. I personally have found fossilised coral 2000 miles from the sea, 800 feet above sea level. How did it get there?
And you completely igored my first question:
Just how do you explain that light can travel millions of light years in 6000 years? Or do you believe that the stars are painted on a glass roof to the world?
I never understood Christian bible worship. Jesus said there is only one commandment, and it had nothing to do with the bible. Personally, I think he would be pissed.
I disagree, if by web app you mean html. Html apps are great for simple tasks, but many complex tasks realy need a richer client. Currently the hacks requried to make a rich html client are harder to write and maintain then a lightweight swing client. Once Javascript is used, html apps suddenly start to really suck.
Now if by web app you mean a lightweight Swing/.Net/XUL client hitting a web service then I agree. This has the advantages of the web deployments and the rich GUI most users require/request.
I'm sorry to say, but CVS does suck. CVS is great at what it does, but it just doesn't do enough. The inability to rename files is a killer, not to mention the inability to move/delete directories. It just shouldn't be this hard.
As somebody who just through two days without being able to check in to CVS do to incompetent admins, I am starting to believe in the power of distributed repositories. This just may be Arch's greatest feature.
To bad it doesn't work in windows. I may use Linux, but my co-workers don't.
While often IE is fine, it often does things COMPLETELY wrong. Its favorite fuck up is to double submit forms for no reason.
I have seen an entire team waste days trying to figure out was causing IE to resubit forms. One issue of this type was finally tracked down to javascript location on the page. Note that it wasn't the javascript itself, but the LOCATION/NUMBER of the A HREF="javascript:" on the page. The same link was on each page multiple times, and you could make the pages go from working, to not, to working just by pasting or deleleing the HREFs. 5 HREFs would work, 6 wouldn't and 7 would work again. Moving arround the links would break/fix the pages as well.
Pesticides kill bugs, not plants. Round-Up is a herbicide, not a pesticide.
Round-Up Ready(RR) crops may not need less herbicides then non-RR crops, but they do eliminate the need for non-Round-Up herbicides, many of which are MUCH more toxic than Round-Up.
As for monoculture, I don't really see GMO making things any worse. The small amount of trait DNA that is shared is so small that it really can't effect the genetic diversity of species that is normally over 99% undifferentiated in nature. Not to mention that the plants where probably undifferentiated at the new trait location before the new trait was introduced.
Wow, there is a first for everything. The one statement I would have bet large sums of money that I would never hear is that ClearCase's filesystem integration is really nice.
Java IDEs have always taken a butt load of resources. Some of the really only old IDEs without code completion didn't take as much memory, but what is the point of an IDE without code completion?. May as well use vi.
As for Eclipse, it is pretty speedy as long you your have the ram. 512 is really the minimum on a Win2k + Eclipse box. (200M for Win2k + 100M for eclipse + extra for everything else). From what I've seen Eclipse isn't overly ram hungry for a moderen IDE. It seems to use slightly less memory then IntelliJ Idea, which is Currently at 150M on my box, even though it says it is only using 95M.
It's possible that if somebody was watching illegal content, the cops could get a warrant, grab the TiVo, and then have a log of every remote click that the TiVo heard, even those for devices other than the TiVo.
Tivo can only coordinate current broadcast/cable channel viewing habits, so how could it record that you were watching illegal content?
The assumption being that every program will grok the same set of XML tags...right...
Ah, no. The only assumpution is that HUMANS will be able to grok the tags, not the format. The beauty of XML is the ablity to use a standard editor on non-standard files. Your editor always knows how to create a comment, excape special chars, and verify a document to make sure it is valid(via a DTD).
Of course many config files don't have a DTD created, but isn't really an XML problem.

I love the color correction on some photos.

While it could be the difference between winter/summer, the Missouri river is never that blue.
Resolution is different as well.

There's a misconception that the earth is very old
Do you have any evidence to back this up?
Just how do you explain that light can travel millions of light years in 6000 years?
If God made the earth 6000 years ago and made it look older, is this a God you really want to follow?
If God is all powerful, couldn't he have made the world billions of years ago and know what we would be here today in our current form?
BTW, The last one is what the Catholic church teaches.

The fact is, all the IE moaning is a BIG MYTH.

Get a clue. I have lived in the states my whole life(30 years), and have NEVER seen a gun pulled in a violent maner.
Now I'm confused. Does this mean we should ban open source?
Given that it is organic, how long will they last?
When you hear the word organic, think 'made from carbon' not 'made from animals'.
In the OLED case, plastic would probably be more straightforward term than organic, but I guess plastic sounds too cheap.
