That's not exactly true. The articles in question make it sound like these are users of Google Apps, a paid service that provides standard Google Apps (like GMail, Docs, etc.) customized for your organization/domain, at a cost per user.
If you enter something in the location bar that is not a web address, Firefox already takes you to the "I'm feeling lucky" result as returned by Google for that result.
I keep my entire CD collection on disk as FLAC, and then transcode to the lossy format(s) most useful to me at the time (currently Vorbis to play in my Rio Karma). If I ever need a new format I can go back to the FLAC and reencode without transcoding from another lossy format.
Looks like you were so eager to get your "insightful" comment posted that you didn't even have time to read any of the links or look around. For fuck's sakes.
You may be smart and angry, Mr. Slashdot Commenter, but if you can't read any of the articles before ranting about something, you've failed miserably at your primary task: contributing to a meaningful discussion.
It uses the WebDAV interfact to Microsoft Exchange 2000 and above, which is only enabled when you turn on OWA. So you're right in some ways, but it's not like it's doing screen-scraping or anything like that; there's a genuine interface there that Evolution is using. I wouldn't call it a toy.
It was an FPGA, and it wasn't the CPU modifying itself, it was a genetic algorithm designing a circuit that would perform a specific task (differentiate between two different ranges of input signals, IIRC).
The interesting result was that the circuit designed by the GA didn't use conventional structures, but instead, according to traditional circuit design theory, should not have functioned at all -- dead loops, etc. The behavior and result was tied to the physical FPGA being used to test and give feedback to the GA -- the minute nuances, as you referred to them -- and was not portable to even another instance of the exact same FPGA.
Density, composition, anything likely to affect our ability to change its path by pushing it, attempting to break it up into smaller pieces that would either miss the Earth or burn up during entry...
Knowing whether these asteroids are ice, rock, hollow, loose clumps of small pieces held together by gravity, all of this is important.
Not all of physics can be modeled by assuming everything is a sphere with mass and velocity.
USAA has excellent browser support. I mailed them a few weeks ago about a rendering problem with Mozilla/Galeon, and it was fixed within a few days. The bug didn't even prohibit use of the site, it just made certain menus not work, so that navigation was more difficult.
Unfortunately, not everyone can become a member; see the URL for more information.
This doesn't spoof our model at all, since by doing this, we're not paying for any additional bandwidth.
Besides, our mirror sites already have a private dedicated pipe to our main server that does not compete with our public users, so they should have the updates, conceivably much sooner than half an hour later.
Seriously, we would love to see our users predominantly using our free mirror sites. Unfortunately, our server logs indicate most people continue to choose our overloaded main server over a nearby local mirror, which is something I'd love to change.
IMHO, if there is no profit involved then the courts, society, and all of us should be giving people wide latitude when it comes to these kinds of creative endevours.
So if I take something of yours and give it away, but I don't charge for it, that's ok, right? Because there's no profit involved, right?
Something tells me this viewpoint is just a little bit simplistic.
Michael, your summary (particularly the part about having the gall to complain) is so wildly irrelevant to the body of the story that I have to wonder if you read the submission at all, or if you just posted whatever the hell you wanted to after the user-submitted text.
I don't know what business plan you think you read, but you're wrong.
You will always be able to update Ximian GNOME, at no cost, through Red Carpet. If this is not what you mean by "major updates", please let me know so that I can address your concerns.

No.
I think in large part because Google has an interface that doesn't Suck Ass.

Not if the university owns the apartment.

CSS bugs for various versions of IE (along with workarounds).
Writing valid code is not good enough.
Didn't read the article, huh? ;-)

And it's the fourth time it's been posted today.
Oh, wait! Maybe posting it multiple times IS the joke?

Failure to supply South Africans without being registered means potential jail time
I don't think that sentence means what the poster intended it to mean.

(1.38 - 1) * 10? That's easy. It's 3.8.
That was Walter Hewlett, not David Packard, no?

I never quite thought I'd see this in my life time, but RAM is now cheaper when it comes to memory-per-unitofcurrency than hard drives.
It is? RAM is around $50 for a gig, a hard drive is $300 for 100 gigs, or $3 per gig. RAM doesn't look cheaper to me...

I guess I won't even make a snide comment about whan an asshole Rob is, then.
