Sweet, next time one bit of my non-ECC memory fails and my system crashes I'll use the same argument. Little stuff has no effect, and chaos theory was a load of bullshit.
Yup, if you use your undisguised hotmail address on every one of your slashdot postings-- hypothetically, of course--you will see many bounce notices that dutifully land in your hotmail junk mail folder, using up your meager 2MB quota 40KB at a time.
Why reduce patent filings? To leave a bigger opening to be sued by more scum like SCO? IBM's software patents are part of it's counterattack against SCO.
Luge is measured to millisecond precision. Which seems insane, as does timing sprints to the hundreth of a second, until you realize that the same guys consistently step up and win, again and again. Maurice Greene had exactly the same time in the Athens final as he had in Sydney.
Now, averaging the times for a set of short sprints over the course of several days might be more fair...
The spam filtering is okay. I've had one or two legitimate list emails noted as false positives. Nothing new here.
the funky javascript preview thing cuts off the most important part of those emails
Google has been tweaking both those features in the past few weeks. I recently noticed a number of mailing lists had been dropped into Spam, even though I had filters set to label them. That isn't happening anymore. And I believe the view message pane has begun showing more of the message w/o having to launch a popup.
Annoyances: Bad contacts and filters sorting. No notifications of messages in Spam, filter-labeled messages in Spam are hidden from inbox.
What's nice is that the number of filters is unlimited, versus hotmail's 10, the ability to search your old messages with google's engine, and less obtrusive, even interesting ads.
Try again. Microsoft does pretty well with bland descriptive titles- "Microsoft Streets and Maps" ad infinitum. It's.NET where they went wrong. Dot-what? Call it Microsoft WebDomination or something.
The telegraph didn't prevent the telephone, the railroad didn't prevent the automobile. But now, because of the immense amounts of money that they're spending on lobbying and the need for immense amounts of money for media, the political process is being manipulated by incumbents.
But it's not like the auto manufacturers didn't actively and knowingly destroy the trolley systems present in US cities.
So open source and open content and what media companies call "piracy" is actively destroying the distribution systems in paces for software and media. It's inevitable, Agent Smith. It's entropy. The "mob" ain't gonna settle for being controlled.
What is especially galling to electronics manufacturers is that the combination of cellphone convergence and cell providers demanding cheap handsets as loss leaders for subscription lock-in is that profit margins are going to be driven to hell if you phone is a camera, audio player, GPS device, PDA, game system, yadda yadda, because "free" handsets will undermine the market for standalone versions of those devices.
Yup, I was wondering how long it might take virtual memory might destroy a flash drive. Or some simple code that writes alternating data to the same address while(1).
More like Mutually assured licensing. IBM: Hey Intel, you're using our transmogrifier! Intel: But you're using our bandersnatch! All together: Let's cross-license!
I'm sure. How many labs are reading it and beginning similar experiments of their own? Other labs should be able to duplicate the results, or not. And if independent results do not show prion disease sooner in the innoculated mice than the controls, then this paper looks foolish. They must think others will find their results significant, and be able to duplicate them.
And the researchers probably didn't write the press release.
This special TTL that is used today has reached its peak at.09 nanometers in width.
Wow, that's some pretty miraculous stuff, considering modern processors are CMOS, with a minimum feature size being gates that are 90 nanometers in length. And for chrissakes, it's not like Intel hasn't already sampled 65nm SRAMs (albeit small) or anything. CMOS has at least another decade left in it. An intimidating crazy decade with unforseen problems, but heck, it pays the bills.
I was thinking the same things, but there's a bit of ambiguity in what is meant by "stable." I think they may have meant code stable, not OS stability.
That said, it could be a good thing to preempt the distros from forking in order to add new features that they do not want to wait for, and it also adds the benefit of Linux providing the OS features that you want ASAP, not in 2005, err, maybe 2006, 2007 or 2008 when the next major release is planned-- that would be the Longhorn development model.
Let's see.. 10 years ago I was thinking how cool it was that I could have a windowing system of any kind on a cheap generic computer. What were the alternatives to Win3.1 on DOS for my 486? By the time OS/2 came out, it was too late. Windows owned the market. Why bother with OS/2 then?
I mean, really. In 1994, I was not thinking, "Oh geez, these worms and trojans and virii sure are a pain unique to Windows--maybe I could switch to some UNIX-like OS on my Intel computer." I was thinking, "How can I get the web working with my 14.4 modem?" and "Wow, CD-ROM drives sure are cool."
Could Titan provide heavy lift to LEO? Could the Proton? Could Ariane V? Do the astronauts need to ride the freighter?
The Shuttle was the wrong paradigm. It's the Concorde of space. Columbia couldn't even make it to the ISS orbit, IIRC
Could the money being spent to keep Discovery, Endeavor and Atlantis going be better spent figuring out how to get US ISS components launched autonomously using existing lauch vehicles and purchasing additional Progress and Soyuz maintenence and crew transfer launches?
I've actually had online banking sites force me to use MSIE when they decided Mozilla 1.5 wasn't a modern browser. Seems better with recent Mozilla and Firefox versions, or perhaps the frigging bank fixed their frigging software.

If you want novels that read like a movie script, read Crichton.

Yeah, if solar power advocates are suffering a setback, gasoline advocates must really be in bad shape...
Endeavor, too. And NASA doesn't build launch vehicles. Lockheed-Martin and Boeing do.
Somehow I doubt you mean Double Data Rate, which is too bad.
Lawyers: Phew. That'll be $167,456.

It was Affinity that was rejecting the neutral expert, and Google that was offering.

Goodbye Hotmail, you've lost me as a customer.
