Of course Google goes down; it goes down all the time only it's only parts that fail and the rest take over seamlessly.
I'm not sure about how much you can extrapolate from being good at massive datacentres to being being good at single PCs running a wide range of hardware.
An interesting though short and lacking on detail article to be sure, but, um, so?
And December 30th 2004? I guess it's still relevant, but was it really necessary to post that now?
...such as this one ./dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 outputs the raw 18Mb/s stream contain all the TV channels (on that band) which can then be split into the raw MPEG2 using the dvbstream program.
Sourceforge took their code closed source so there was no choice but to fork the code otherwise no open development could take place.
If you want use the offical sourceforge code then you must pay for it, otherwise you use GForge. Don't confuse the Sourceforge site with the Sourceforge code. Gforge is used to create your own version of the sourceforge site.
1.1million people per day is quite a lot, but what you must remember is that it is not just the advert but the associated press about the advert that will make the news as well. I imagine that people like the BBC, new.com will pick up on the advert and run stories about how it was funded. This will vastly increase the reach of the advert.
No television or internet transmission shall have occurred at any time anywhere in the world in any version prior to the qualifying run or furthermore contrary to section III.2.B.1. or III.2.B.2. of these rules.
I'm not sure what is meant by a 'qualifying run', but it could well make him ineligable for the documentary award. I don't think that applies to the Best Picture award though.
I hope the people at Google know what they're doing... it would seem to me that for a company that has been so focused on providing an excellent search engine they're suddenly branching out very quickly (Mailing lists, Gmail...).
I wonder if this has anything to do with their impending IPO?
Having the knowledge of how to build a nuclear bomb isn't illegal, but building one is. Same sort of thing here...
The GPL just means people can't hide the knowledge from you, but just because the source code is freely available does nothing to say that using that code is/isn't illegal.
Do you ever get disheartened when Microsoft announces a new API, as that means you've suddenly got a whole load of new code to replicate? DirectX would seem to be a prime example of this.
How do you see.Net/Mono in relation to Wine? Do you think they will ever become the prime method of running Windows applications under *nix?

AFAIK no freely available webbased email service supports encryption.
I don't see any way that they could either since all the processing would be done at the server side, and so compromise the public/private key pair.
Obviously if Gmail supports POP/IMAP then PGP would be a good solution, though as they're relying on advertising I assume it's going to be entirely webbased.
That's not quite true, while building from source is an important part of Gentoo, Portage has full support for binary packages. A stage 3 GRP install, which only uses pre-built packages, will get you installed very quickly.
Portage also has support for building a binary package when you compile from source. In a situation like this that would seem like the ideal solution - build from source once, and distribute the binary package to all servers (assuming they're similar)
It might not be a completely convincing argument, but it highlights the difference between Perl and Python with respect to typing.
The majority of type error are detected at run time and will raise an exception. Ints being coerced to floats is a special case in Python, implemented for convenience.
And it's a hell of a lot better than "you're a Dumbass"

It definitely looks like 1 is not the case, and given that he also says "I'd love to send a royalty cheque to a kid" 3 could well be it.

you could buy the unencumbered DVD
Less encumbered probably. Unencumbered definitely not.
At least you can still use your fingers.
I'm having to type this with my nose.
I guess that's literally YMMV...

Whoops, I just misread that headline as "Seagate buys Maxtor for $1.98". Puts a whole new spin on the story!
At that price, I'll take 5 Hard Drive manufactures!
Arrr, some slick pirate has stolen my 'p'!

a) Please stop spreading fud about KDE. b) If you'd RTFA you'd see that it is Windows only and nothing to do with KDE.

You're right, the circulation data is out there.

Yes.

Size doesn't matter, it's what she can do with it that counts.
