Mp3 may be better than ogg, but shouldn't this open source radio support all popular formats? This is a great idea, however although the exclusion of the ogg vorbis format is insignificant, it is troubling. Why would they leave this format out when it would be easy to include it?
at C - 5 MPH, then the radio waves are moving at 2C-5 MPH.
Not true, no matter can move faster than light, nor can light. To the people moving @ C-8km/h, the light being emitted (RF) would be @ C To Farmer Joe on the ground, the light would be C as well. It is all relative to who is observing it.
yah, people, along with other animals, are not born with developed vision. Play with a newborn baby for a while.
Babies have poor vision at birth but can see faces at close range, even in the newborn nursery. At about six weeks a baby's eyes should follow objects and by four months should work together. Over the first year or two, vision develops rapidly. A two-year-old usually sees around 20/30, nearly the same as an adult.http://www.iupui.edu/~ophthal/html/eyes_babiesvisi on.html
Corporate America is hesitant of buying Apple products because they cost too darn much. I love my PowerBook, but it was hella expensive.
This may be true, but it really doesn't have anything to do with article.
However, 'Corporate America' is built on wastefullness, why buy a smart car when you could buy a huge SUV? same reason as a mac, there is an image of wealth associated with it. (this disregards, of course, the sub $500 macs)
Wow! After reading that letter, it seems like they want to take over from him. They demand the site and the code to it.
Oh, and obligatory

right, not to be anal or anything, but CGI is common gateway interface, it has nothing to do with graphics, but with webservers. CG is computer graphics.
I have watched the new ones once, and never again. Too childish for me. Ewoks were ok, but Jar-Jar crossed the line
So, you are writing you 10 000 line program, get half way through it today, save to your non persistent memory, shutdown for the night, and what? You really ought to think about it for a while, how often do you use your harddrive? Never, well then you are correct in your idea that persistent memory is a bad idea. However, if you are like any person in the world that boots their OS from a hard drive, or saves their work to a hard drive, or plays games, then you probably want persistent memory
So, basically ALL the benefits of having a laptop. Go linux! It's DEFINITELY ready for the mainstream
I am typing this from a laptop, and it runs Linux (Oh No!). Has APCI, CPU Throttling, Suspend, Wireless networking, etcetera.
How did I do it? Days of patches? No, popped in Mandrake 10.1 Community, generic install, everything ran perfectly, I don't think that you need to be a zealot to install linux on a laptop, Linux has come a long way in the last few years.
I'm sure that the developers aren't aiming to make an OK distro, they, in their opinions, and for their criteria, are making a great distro. However, for your purposes, those great ones are just OK. What is a great distro? easy maintenance? lightweight? heavyweight? There are so many choices because there are so many options. Developers don't say, "hey Joe, $X has a good distro, let's copy it" they find something that isn't done right, or isn't there, and create a new product.
The benefits of dogs over robots goes on and on.
I would have to disagree, a guide dog does not know where the library is, or the computer store, or your house, whereas a robotic dog will(does?) have a map and be able to direct you to the location. This robot sounds like a great idea, a good use of technology.
I wonder what kind of programming classes are available in highschools today?
As a grade 12 student in British Columbia, Canada, I 've done VB and C++. The other classes (Desktop publishing etc) do html and dreamweaver. I found that in order to do Java, I had to do it by myself, without the class.
As a side note, although our clients are Windows, the server is freeBSD, and were running OO.org. Within a year or two we should be completely switched to Linux. And some of the elementary schools in the area are alreadly pure linux.
And to change settings, get different info, do like the phreakers did,( the good ones) whistle into it with different tones. Ah, the good old days, (not that I was a part of that, but I could be a part of the new wifi-phreaking)
I wouldn't exactly say most users are put off by this. Most newcomers are. The users are the ones that have already chosen which gui and which distro to use. But to more accuratly respond to your point, the fact that Linux has all these distro's and GUI's is, in my opinion, an integral part of the 'Linux experience'. It's all about choice. You don't like Fedora's $Feature, switch to debian or gentoo, or Mandrake, or anything else. If you only had Fedora and KDE, how much different would Linux be from Windows? Would Linux still be a huge server OS and a Desktop OS at the same time? Different Distro's are built for different reasons. You just have educate yourself enought to know which is the best for you.
agreed, Fg = G*m*M/r^2, so that 6 ton on the surface would be like....... 5.9 ton up in orbit, my god, those sneeky bastards, creating satelites that can change their weight. The government has more power than I have previously though.

$5000? wow,what about this http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/01/13/ 0035257&tid=181&tid=3 mac
And yes, your 'truth' is offtopic, since this topic is not about the pricing of a mac

yes, because that was the point of my analogy, that the poster could write 5 000 lines of code a day.

Except that weight is measured in Newtons (kg*m/s^2).
I am glad for this, as firewire is less common than USB 2. The sooner we all agree on a single standard the better.
For all of the computer geeks, recognize 2^n -1 = all 1's in binary
2^4 -1 = 15 = 1111

Care to elaborate on that, or are you content with your factless Linux bashing?
