What setup are you using? If you're really having a problem (and not trying to do something you shouldn't), let us know and we'll fix it. There's a comments page
I was part of the group that worked on the site, yeah. It's run on a red hat linux server at Peer1 Networks (www.peer1.net) in Toronto. I'm using it on my sites, and so far I'm quite liking it.
I'm impressed with them..., but it's not a surprise really. With the raw data images being released as soon as they were made available, anyone who was interested enough could begin processing them immediately. I doubt NASA/ESA thought it was a race. But still, great job for them! They probably did it for a fraction of the cost that the big agencies needed to process the images;-) So much beaurocracy..
Are you planning on writing some custom software to run on your camera? Heh, I'll never stop to be amazed by the creativity of some people!
Digital cameras are like Macs - they 'just work'. I haven't heard of any efforts to customize them, or build an open one.
Hey, I was there too! Cool =)
I think paul martin and Mike L (RIM CEO) are pretty close. He's a big Liberal supporter. (Never a good idea to mix the people making the laws with the people that benefit from them... but it happens all the time)
It's too bad it doesn't come with built-in WiFi. That would really increase the usability of the device. WiFi is so prominent now, there should really be WiFi built into *everything*. (Yes, I want to be able to control my oven from work):)
The problem is, if the government told people everything they did, everyone would revolt:) It's easy for governments to spend money, since it's other peoples money they're spending. Funding goes to all sorts of things that it shouldn't. It's too bad that countries are managed the way they are.
You're right though, it is hilarious how governments continuously deny things that clearly exist. (Area 51?) It just makes people make up crazy stories try and have some idea of what they're hiding.
Stranger things have happened. Although unlikely, it's always possible that this could become something as 'mainstream' as linux. Slashdot is just keeping everyone informed. If you don't want to read the article, don't bother
I completely agree. IMO, laptops are meant to be portable. I like to have them small so you can actually carry them around. A powerful laptop defeats the main purpose that I'd use it for - portability.
I worked at a company in Quebec awhile back that had a similar policy. Each Friday, you were allowed to work on your own projects. About once each month, we had a small group presentation where we told other people in our group what we'd been working on, and how it's progressing. When the group decided that the idea was mature enough to tell others about, we gave a small presentation to the managers. They talked it over for a bit, and decided if it would be pursued further, or if we should find something else to work on.
I found it quite nice to be able to work on my own things. I never made anything great, but a number of people had small teams put under them to help them work on their idea:)
I agree completely. I don't think diversity should even be an issue....why does it matter? If someone is qualified to be on the show, more power to them!
Heh, I'm in computer engineering at the university of waterloo. About 70% of my class is chinese... and it's great:-) I'm learning all sorts of curse words and tasty new foods.
I don't know why the asian percentage of my class is so high, but it must be 'cause they were the most qualified people that applied. It's a good rule to follow... letting the most qualified people participate. It shouldn't matter what race/age/gender/disability status they are.
I agree, tabs are great:-) Definitely the way to go in Mozilla....but I could see why they'd make the article IE-biased. Most of the people who use the internet are still using IE. When making generalizations about internet browsing experiences, it only makes sense to use the browser with a big monopoly.
It would be much more convenient to have a bunch of credit-card sized movies instead of DVDs lying around... I'd assume they would also be more durable.

This is just ridiculous. Clearly there's an issue with the law when something like this is allowed to happen

Slashdotted already? Wow. The mirrordot pages don't exist either. Are those the right links?

But as the article pointed out, if you're using the CF slot for something else, you'd have to constantly swap it out

This is really a wonderful idea. If only our friends at the MPAA could do the same... ...
