well amazingly enough, he put the entire text of his article up there into the public domain so you can easily correct it and post a correct version. I'm sure he would also welcome corrections being submitted from his readers as well, as he gets other stuff of his proofread by his reading public.
Time to start knitting that bale of copper wire into a jacket and trouser set... anyone got a pattern???
Or will we see the return of chain mail as the fashionable wear for rioters???
Cassini will approach Saturn from below the ring plane. The spacecraft will cross through the large gap between the F Ring and G Ring. At this time Cassini will be 158,500 kilometers (about 98,500 miles) from Saturn's center. This crossing will occur one hour and 52 minutes prior to the spacecraft's closest approach to Saturn.
"You need to stop posting these threads on Wednesday night when I generally don't have time to read them. (Like the infinite twin primes proof from two weeks ago.)"
"What I am disappointed in, however, is the lack of movement by FreeBSD to getting XORG working. A known bug that has been sitting in bugzilla since last month still hasn't been fixed, whats taking FreeBSD so long?!"
However, it is possible to build your own cable for a few dollars. Then making Linux communicate with the light board is trivial.
Once you have it, your can start communicating with the message board from your computer. I've proposed an enhanced protocol that would be backwards compatible. Pro-Lite has not responded much about it. Perhaps they think there is little interest by programmers.

I've started to collect home-brewed applications , particularly for Linux. For example, you can post a scrolling message to Walt using the web.
unscrupulous webmasters would stick their own wikisandbox in a sister site under their control and deliberately not put in a robot.txt file just so they can mess with their own rankings.
yes, but what is so annoying about his post is that it got modded up to +4 interesting and none of the rebuttals got modded up at all. This means that most people cruising at +3 or above won't see the replies.
you'll always have five bars of signal strength... or would that be the end of the old "no signal" excuse favoured by those who're trying to avoid being dragged off to the next fire-fighting fix episode...
Seriously... get the server room shielded with wire mesh built into the walls and conductive film on the windows... like a Faraday Cage... then you won't get weird interference problems
"Call me naive but I hardly think plastering a desert with towers that, by design, pump hot air out into the atmosphere will reduce global warming."
what else was that solar energy going to do if it wasn't intercepted??? it was going to heat the sand up anyway and eventually the air as well... those solar towers are going to cool the desert, not heat it up...
wow... amazing how some moderators can't handle the fact that so many medical advances depend upon animal experimentation... and are quite happy to wander around in blissful ignorance of this highly controversial moral issue.
I've so far had -1 troll, +1 interesting and -1 flamebait for the OP...
Bricklin sent waves of laughter through the auditorium by reading a passage from Lammers' interview with Bill Gates in which the young Microsoft founder explained that his work on different versions of Microsoft's BASIC compiler was shaped by looking at how other programmers had gone about the same task. Gates went on to say that young programmers don't need computer science degrees:
"The best way to prepare is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and I fished out listings of their operating systems."[my emphasis]
Bricklin finished reading Gates' words and announced, with an impish smile, "This is where Gates and [Richard] Stallman agree!"
The "Programmers at Work" panelists were full of optimism about new opportunities to reinvent software -- in the mobile-phone world (where, Scott Kim noted, the constraints of small screens and tiny memory made it feel "like the early days" again), in the new universe of RF tags, and in the still-unfolding saga of global networking. Bob Carr reminded everyone that technology transformations usually take 20 years to unfold -- "I remember thinking in 1987 that the PC industry was mature, it was over" -- and that the Internet is only halfway through that cycle.
Still, that picture of Bill Gates dumpster-diving for operating-system code was hard to shake. Finding new ways to think about programming and to make better software demands a willingness for pioneers to open up their work so others can learn from it. "Getting the software industry on a more open, fair and level playing field," as Hertzfeld put it, is a prerequisite for any leap forward in the programming world. Software patents are a looming train wreck; competition in most "end-user" software is largely a distant memory. Simonyi's technical bottleneck is also a social, political and business logjam.
Linus of course was doing a course at Uni with Tannenbaum's Minix as it's example code... But then again... he didn't deliberately set out to write an OS from scratch... to begin with, he wrote it primarily to have fun with the 386 instruction set and also to read usenet...
for their actions. His reviews must have been unfavourable and not very flattering for the companies concerned... thus puncturing their carefully calculated hype campaigns. They couldn't get him for the reviews as they were quite possible true, but they could get him for unauthorised use of their screenshots...

slashdotted with only nine posts in this article... did anyone get it mirrored???

Wrong moon, wrong Planet...
those airwaves aren't public, the stations pay for the priviledge of having that slice of spectrum.
Then you won't have enjoyed them posting the Riemann Hypothesis proof article then ;)
FreeBSD is dead... didn't you know??? :)

Ahhh, that explains why my daughter's school art project wouldn't scan...
have a blocking filter that will defeat this technique. Surely camcorders will have it as well...
Excellent one as well... anything else that follows will largely be redundant...

a device like that shouldn't require a driver... it should be built into the motherboard disk interface and be completely transparent to the user.
you mean I'd have to compile my kernel??? I've managed to go 5 years now with Linux without ever having to compile a kernel...
what else was that solar energy going to do if it wasn't intercepted??? it was going to heat the sand up anyway and eventually the air as well... those solar towers are going to cool the desert, not heat it up...
split water to make hydrogen and oxygen... duh...
I've so far had -1 troll, +1 interesting and -1 flamebait for the OP...
Please remember this and ponder if the ends justify the means.
can I donate my unwanted "legal" music downloads to them to sell on at a cheap rate??? like I can do with my unwanted CDs, DVDs, books and the like...
here are the Safety Data Sheet complete with LD50 values... make your own mind up... :)
