I bet if you compared plants to silicon the plants would win on a TCO (total cost of ownership) basis. Silicon solar cells are far from cheap to produce not to mention all the chemicals used in their production are far from earth friendly.
Is the Apple Wireless Keyboard a standards abiding Bluetooth device? Is there any reason I couldn't use one on a PC running Linux? I just wasn't sure that Apple had used the standard keyboard profile (or whatever it is called in the Bluetooth spec) or if they had 'improved' it in some way that would keep me from using it with another OS.
I forward all my email from my existing account (which I've been using for 5 years and gets a ton of spam) to my gmail account and spam always slips through.
Maybe Gmail's filters are factoring in the fact that the mail is being forwarded from an address that it knows you recieve lots of valid email from. I'm sure that the filters use the origin as part of the decision on wether or not a particular message is spam or not.
In the next month or two I fully expect that we are going to see some admititly slow but inexpensive storage solutions. Actually I'm supprised we haven't already seen GmailFS and HotmailFS.
I never understood why email providers limited their subscribers to a measly 5 megs. Most email is pure ASCII text. Every time I have felt the need to compress a text file it nearly disappears. This is even the case when I have used gzip on the 'fastest' settings. A gig of email compressed onto today's unbelievably cheap storage costs a provider like Google, Yahoo or Hotmail damn near nothing!
If your looking for revolutionary (or at least seriously evolutionary) advancements in chip design and architecture you might want to take a look at some new chips from a smaller company by the name of AMD. AMD's new Opteron and Athlon chips sport their new AMD64 bit instruction set as well as integrated memory controllers, Hypertransport interconnects and a NUMA style architecture.

Don't underestimate the power of an excellent cover letter. Not some generic form letter that you fill in the blanks for each prospective PHB^M^M^Memployer but a well written cover letter. Get help if you are not clear on why a qualifies as an excellent letter, take a class or do it the American Way(tm), pay someone. I know a few HR people, cover letters are important.
I always preferred WordPerfect 5.1. If you need a more then capable yet amazingly functional and easy to use word processor look no further then WordPerfect 5.1. WP51 in my opinion is still king of the word processors.
Another thing that I'm sure is on Linus' mind (or at least Tove's mind) is that Portland is typically thought of a better area to raise children then SoCal.
I mean hey, I turned out fine.... er.. bad example.
I wonder if you increased the alliterations to say 100 if you would see the scores converge. As we all know there is a ton of overhead related to linking C++ apps.
I'm not taking sides here. I'm just curious and I am unable to test this for myself as I am stuck here at work running Windows 2000.
If laziness dictated what DNS server people ran I find it hard to believe that they would choose BIND. BIND is hardly the simplest DNS server out their to learn, setup and maintain.
According to an article on the Laser Focus World website MTHEL system is chemical powered, deuterium fluoride to be exact. I don't imagine that deuterium fluoride is too availible. I wonder how much it cost per target destroyed.
This is of course impossible to know as the output of the laser is still classified.
"Personally, I love "adware" such as New.Net and don't understand what the big deal is about. New.Net is simply a new approach to domain registration and lookup, and a clever one at that.
If New.Net is what we're talking about when we say "adware" - then sign me up for more!"
This post has been brought to you by the fine folks at New.Net.

Actually I post to Usenet all the time via Google Groups with out any address obfuscation and I have yet to have any spam slip the Gmail's filters.

Wouldn't extended attributes be a type of metadata fork?

Sounds great as long as they run Jabber.

Me? I drink. Quite a lot as often as possible.
Bah! Who actually goes back and reads code they have written?

If your going to go the reduntant server route then you should also make sure that each of your servers/UPSs is on a differnt electrical circuit.
Lithium isn't an antidepressant, it's an antimanic.
Of course you could just have the software randomize the location of the numbers each time.

All you need to do is: "echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness" and the VM will do it's best to keep from swapping pages to disk.
Say it with me guys, "pump and dump".
