You should be reading that BeOS PE doesn't stand alone, you have to boot to it by running a program that reboots to it. If there's a version for linux, that doesn't mean it's a version of BeOS that runs under linux, it means there's a version which you can boot to from linux.
Components of an interface do not a complete GUI make. . . Getting the Tracker to run with nothing to support it would be like trying to use FVWM w/o X. A lot of what makes Be's GUI so easy to use is the overall layout of the OS. If you want to rebuild a whole graphics server system and all the other accouterments of a GUI that need to interface with the OS and then place the Tracker on top of that, you might have something. And notice the license - to distribute or sell your own software based on their source you have to get express permission from Be. They're not going to let the Linux/BSD community take one of the few things that keeps some Linux/BSD users buying their OS. With this recent i-opener situation, I'm sure Be knows that the Linux community has a penchant for screwing over corporations and is therefore making sure to cover their butts over this.
Now I know why all the mirrors are/.ed when they probably aren't going to post the OS for another few hours. I doubt all the Be employees are even at work yet. . .
We don't know who made these ciphers, there's no good reason to assume that the person who wrote them was into literature at all, let alone whether he or she was a literary genius and least of all whether it was Poe or not.
Let's all get together and patent the sequence AGATCCGTC. That way, when anyone tries go and get the human genome patented, we can sue them because of all their illegal use of our chunk of DNA, AGATCCGTC (which is surely in the human genome somewhere.)
I'm sure the RIAA's view on this is that making an MP3 is synonymous with illegally distributing MP3's. Whether they really don't realize people own multiple audio playback devices or they just don't want to make such admissions for the sake of making more ca$h, I doubt they recognize wanting to have a copy of something you own in a separate format as a reason for making copies of stuff.
I read somewhere that Multics machines feature hot-swappable everything. Peripherals, cards, drives, even CPU's.
That's why I want a Multics box. Imagine the looks on the faces of your friends as you say, "Check this out!" and immediately yank a CPU out of your machine without the computer skipping a beat. MWHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
...as the first company to release software which consistently crashes linux boxen.
Really, kids. MS office is cuddly and all, but I don't really want to have to deal with a 200megabyte office suite that loads slowly and never does what I want it to do. Before I got my hands on StarOffice, I just used emacs to write my papers. It was quicker and easier.
I can imagine the results of the engineers now: "Yup,if you put 'em in the compactor, it squashes 'em" "Now let's see what happens when we put them in a smelter."
AOL sends spam CD's through every route possible - they even send CD's just about every other week to the college computer center where I work. We offer them to the students that come in, but of course, they don't want it either - why should they? The TurboLinux approach is to only send their stuff to their target market - small businesses who are networked. Of course, it's still a bit much, and I think that it would be a good idea TurboLinux includes an online registration system in their install program not only to get some marketing research data (just who/is/ likely to grab a random Linux CD and install it?) but also to find out how much these CD's are being used - and hence if they are really getting something done by this little cantrip or if they should stop because it's just contributing to the already overgrown number of makeshift coasters.
I get my news from websites such as/. hearsay from politically active friends and flat out refuse to get it from newspapers, magazines, or TV. Too many times, I've seen a news story about a topic I am interested in and thus am well read in, only to see the journalist confuse the facts, delete important information, or add important info. It feels like it happens every time I see the news. Therefore, I propose we bring credibility back to news by requiring journalists to follow the same rules of fact reporting and opinion-providing that every other kind of writer is held to - cite your sources, give credit where due, say which info comes straight from an expert and which ideas are your own, and don't report on stuff you don't understand.
oh, and one more thing that I'd like to remind to all journalists who seem to have slept through all their college stat and lab sci classes. . . corellation != causation.
IANAL, I couldn't decipher all that legal text, and RMS's speech is down. All I can find about this is wild accusations and no real explanations of EXACTLY what this bill is. I propose two things: 1) Somebody explain this CLEARLY so I can understand it. 2) somebody get it moderated to the top so people will read it and make posts that sound more grounded in reality.
Memory you can only write to once! YAYYYY no, really. If you are denaturing protiens and, say, an undenatured area is a 0 and a denatured area is a 1, since the denaturing process is generally a one-way street (and it'd take a lot to make be believe you can reliably put a protien back together with lasers), eventually all your data is going to be 11111111111111111. It's the same principle as burning a CD-R.
& IANAS but I think the only group who would want to use this as a ROM storage device is the MPAA. It must be horribly difficult to get the protien stuff to last more than a few weeks before it starts to smell or degrade from exposure to light or what have you.

But if the very act of reading it scrambles it, youre screwed anyway. My understanding is that you could write 0xEF43 to a byte and a second later read it and it'd be 0xEF45, not (in this case) because of the time causing it to decay but because you read it. Sounds to me like we have in our hands a grand new invention in memory storage devices: WOM
That's "Ansible." It used phylotes for the communication medium (and, in a strange feat of Star Trek engineering skill, they have no clue what a phylote even is)
Looking at lesbians is a very bad way to go about figuring out women. The reason is simple and every homosexual on SlashDot will probably flame me for it.
And a few others, too. There's more to a woman than who she's interested in dating. Ask anybody.
You see, the most fundamental differences between men and women are related to sexuality. That and socialization. However a gay person wasn't socialized the same way as a straight person and dose not have the same sexuality.
Yes, you're right that GLBT people have a sexuality that is different in some aspects than the majority of heterosexuals, but that does not mean a different socialization and that does not mean a completely different personality. I would be quite curious to know why you think that they socialize so differently that it would make a lesbian cease to be a woman. She is still subjected to the exact same treatment as any other woman when she is a child. I think you might have an easier time saying that people who have been wheelchair-bound since childhood can't have the same personalities as people who are not.
In other words, I can pretty much guarantee that your experiences working with straight women would have been significantly different. Young women ( who are more common, especially in tech jobs ) would also add significant alterations to your experiences.
Why? Because he'd be able to start romantic relationships with them? That completely changes a work experience? Geez, sex must control your life a hell of a lot more than it does mine.
So just because they are different why dose that make it a bad idea ? Simple, gays are a minority and as such cannot be used to judge the whole of society.
And neither can blacks or jews or people with red hair or hindus or latinos or women or men or - hey! no one group makes the whole of a society. Although I guess if you do look at a world from this guy's worldview, all that matters in a society is white heterosexual middle class men. . .
Before everyone realizes that they, too, are illegal! Part of the reason why CD's were used for music in the first place was because nobody had the means to copy them i.e. they were unpiratable.
