Hmm. I did not realize they gathered data using spyware. Maybe that casts some doubt on the figures for slashdot -- a lot of people who visit slashdot are probably also smart enough to remove spyware. Seems like that would skew the numbers somewhat.
Short answer: It is strictly a shell namespace extension - it doesn't integrate as a filesystem driver.
Long answer: Technically, that doesn't mean you can't access it outside of windows explorer. You just have to use a program that operates via Shlwapi instead of the traditional Win32 API. For all practical purposes though, the only widespread program doing that is windows explorer. The Shlwapi functions don't have the same feature set as the Win32 API, though. For example, regardless of the program you use, you won't be able to open a file on your gmail drive, hold a lock on a file, etc. It's limited to copying and other high-level functions.
Peter: When you come in on Monday and you're not feeling real well, does anyone say to you, "Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays?" Lawrence: Shit, no man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked saying something like that, man.
It's nowhere near as good! How dare they soil the good name of the FOSS movement with this shoddy software. Nobody should use it, and everyone should make fun of it - that will teach them to try to open up their source code!
I don't think your explanation is very clear. For anyone who is really interested, here is a good explanation of the term.
The part you missed is that the pilot can't be diagnosed by a doctor unless he asks to be seen; and since he fears for his own life enough to ask for a diagnosis, he is clearly not insane.
Sooo... what if I aim the camera and my buddy presses the button?
What if I take a perfectly framed picture of a copyrighted picture? Do I then own the copyright?
What if the shutter button is pressed by two people simultaneously?
Maybe there is a complex multi-key system like they have in those submarine nuke movies. I suppose it's whoever turns the key last.
I guess they could both turn the key at the same time.
Of course, If you follow Einstein at all, you know that there is no way to know who turned the key last - and that it's impossible for them to turn at the same time.
You could argue that I didn't personally press the button. There are a number of bacteria and other assorted lifeforms on my findertips. The bacteria probably own the picture.
Can bacteria own things?
All of you naysayers take note: This is not vaporware! I am on the beta test team for this product. In fact, right now, I just fired up a copy of Duke Nukem Forever on OS/2. Works like a champ.
I wonder about that choice most days. It may sound pretentious to assume that I am even capable of achieving something significant, but I do recognize the choice.
Be a martyr, achieve something great, maybe even advance the science (whichever one). That is a gamble. You may or may not achieve anything great, and in that case it isn't called "martyr", it's called "waste". Achieving mediocrity is easy, and presumably enjoyable. Most importantly, it is immediate. There is a little known third option: not being able to choose a path. The worst parts of both options, and the best parts of neither.:-)
Most of the rest of us would have taken the same amount of money and just dumped it into buying an upscale SUV.
Remarkably, in my experience, some people prefer that - or at least claim to.
I think you end up throwing away a good deal of your personal happiness in order to become specialized enough to create anything significant. A lot of people seem to more-or-less weigh the possibility of being significant against the 6+ billion people on earth, and decide against being a martyr.
They are simulating using particles that have the mass of ten billion Sun's. The article clearly shows that they are not using Sun machines. Nor ten billion of them.
So, they aren't simulating *this* universe. That makes it ok. Trust me.

I'm still trying to move my eyes independently.
Try alternating between cross-eyed and looking to the far left or far right. As you make the transition between those two states, you can start to get a feel for independent movement. For example, you can easily have one eye looking forward while the other looks at your nose.
That's about the closest I have come to it.. any other tricks would be interesting to hear about.

What would happen? Stack overflow. Clear and simple. :-)

Someone, please.. how much is that in LOC?

Granted, their crawler should probably be smart enough to sort that out.. but it is strictly standards-compliant.

LOL. I tried for a moment to come up with a good vaporware OS, but nothing came to me. :-)

Ooops. :-)
Let's see.. I want to word this carefully. After careful review of the claims, I have determined:
The article points out that pessimists make good lawyers because they are always on the lookout for loopholes int the contracts they write.
Seems like that also makes for a good coder - you always have to be on the lookout for security vulnerabilities, threading issues, etc.

So these 6 sets of switches are located in various places in the store? And there's a fiber backbone linking them all togheher?
Get with the times. :-) It's pretty common nowadays to have ethernet switches with a fiber ring uplink.
So, they aren't simulating *this* universe. That makes it ok. Trust me.
Official answer: YES, it can. :-)

Uhhhh. Lighten up mods, it's a *JOKE*. The linked file is a *PNG*. Get it?
Here is a .PNG file with a diagram that explains the problem.
Sounds pretty similar to The Last Question, also by Asimov.
