I need a wireless controller that uses rechargable batteries. The next generation part is that the controller recharges off sweat. What a waste to continually wipe away all that sweet sweet sweat when the controller can be sucking it up and letting me game as long as my eyes can stay open.
Biggest load of PR garbage ever. Most money drug companies spend is on marketing the designer drugs. Not on research and certainly not because of lower profit. What the hell does lower profit even mean? If you are making profit no matter how much it is you are making back more than your costs so you are making money. There is no need to subsidize something that is profitable!
Take a look at the chart Chart about halfway down.
You are forgetting that bush has yet to veto anything. This could just be a big showboating exercise. He vetos and suddenly all the republicans realize how wrong they are on the PARTIOT act doesn't even come close to the 2/3rds vote.
Three things a president does when he's sucking it up:
Huge shiny project paid for by the public or
tax cuts or
start a war
Bush has already done 2/3. That's why people are bitter about his "Lets go to mars, here's 17 billion $$$.. Actually here's $1 billion, reshuffle your organization to aim for a mars shot without nearly enough money, but it doesn't matter because i'll be out of office 4 years from now and nasa will be screwed.:::EVIL LAUGHTER:::"
This obsession with using robots to replace people in space is absurd.
On Earth robots are either used for repetetive possibly complex tasks in a controlled enviroment like assembling a car. Or for very simple tasks in a dangerous uncontrolled enviroment like cutting pipe at deep ocean depths.
The robots are always very specialized. A human is extremely versitle with a small bag of tools. If something goes wrong, humans can improvise, robots cannot.
Sure humans die during spaceflight. It's a dangerous gig. They aren't ordered to go. These people sign up knowing that there is a 1:50 chance of the spaceship disintigrating around them.
The real problem is not that we use humans for space missions, but that we use the shuttle. I agree that the shuttle is a terrible terrible machine. NASA needs to design a cargo ship like the Progress supply ships the Russians use and a human transport ship like the Soyuz with 8-10 capacity. The insane cost of launching the shuttle could more than cover several launches of specialized vehicles. And a specialized human transport ship could be made much safer and cheaper than the shuttle. It wouldn't even have to be reusable to be cheaper either! Just dump the crap in a museum after every flight.
Bleh
You keep the file saved as the standard sxw format, then when you need to transfer it to someone who needs to read it (Like a professor) or if you want to print it somewhere else, you export to pdf and maintain proper formatting all the way through.
Or useful. I got the idea that the patent is decribing almost a Juke Box. Seems slow and pointless when you can just store all the crap on servers. I didn't read every claim though, so I don't really know
The version was supposed to be 4. No one changed the version and finally it because too late to make a big change (And books were printed using the 3.1 testing version number I think it was) So that is now the number of the offical release.

This isn't interesting at all! The code granny wrote is covered under standard copyright, just like if she wrote a book and died. Someone would inherit the full copyright. The code released by granny under the GPL is still going to be released under the GPL, nothing about her tragic passing changes anything.
Maybe the parent was being funny, but certainly not interesting.

It's sad. America had a good run and I suppose it will happen here, mimicking Germany's history all too close. It is not a question of If it will happen anymore. It is a question of When.
I believe that's even too long. The reason copyright exists is to foster the arts and sciences by providing for a limited time a monopoly on the new work. Then the copyright expires, the public benefits the artist/inventor benefited. And after the expiration the artist/inventor is encouraged to invent/create MORE.
The current system of profiting off one lucky creation for 3 generations is insane and does no foster creation, innovation or invention. Especially for the children who inherit valuable copyrights.
The reason Google is distorted is because the satellite image matches with the road maps. The satellite isn't nearly as far north as it would need to be to properly take the images it has. It is closer to the horizon so it gives a distorted looking image. Google most likely distorts the maps on purpose.
not at all.
People are busted for Intent to distribute if they have a large quantity of drugs. You can be busted as a dealer even if you have a kilo of cocaine for personal use.
Having less than a certain amount is only possession.
technically because you can't close IE.
Meh, I wouldn't call it cheating. Basically IE starts when windows is booted. Firefox only gets loaded when you click the pretty little icon.
The article was meant as a review for someone switching from a GNU/Linux desktop to windows. So software cost of things that are free on linux is something to consider.
I think China was only allocated 20 million addresses and I doubt the rest of asia combined (minus Japan) was allocated many more than China was. The US has some incredible large percentage of the IP address space (half memory/half making it up) 90% I think it is.
So reclaiming the Asian address space when they upgrade to v6 isn't exactly that great for the US.
I am so happy the parent is modded troll. I just want to point out that no, slashdot is not always rabiddly pro-open source. The comment got proper moderation.
What happened on fark was someone posted that he wanted to kill the president and the email addressed in his profile was linked with another email address of his (Using the data mining program carnivore or the echelon project or some other government snooping system). Turns out the poster worked at a military facility where missiles were produced which is why he got a visit. He had access to missiles. Scary how government systems were able to find the link.

Define "this close" and someone can make it a law, otherwise a close election is completely subjective.
You're right. The reason is probably because Red Hat didn't want to be bound to Qt and Trolltech is my guess.
