Because we Americans aren't going to embrace anything that isn't mind-blowing -- thus seems to be our attention span -- there's another alternative: an international effort. I attended the latest session of this panel (the Augustine Commission) when they visited Huntsville, Alabama (A.K.A. the Rocket City, original home of NASA) last week and found subcommittee chairman Lester Lyles' research into international partnerships worthy of further consideration.
You must not walk very often. It seems to be getting far more dangerous walking; even the drunks are at least keeping their eyes somewhat above the dashboard most of the time.
I'll bet they re-discovered the tapes a few months ago, once they realized they were getting close to the 40th anniversary deadline and had to begin actually looking. At least, that's what procrastinator me would have done.
I was hoping there would be more episodes to watch before the sixth and final season begins. I always knew they were probably taping during the strike!
Both types should be available: 1) searchable text, and 2) images of those handwritten notes that may be difficult to read. That way a user can check out the source material to decipher their own understanding of the authors's intentions.
I've been researching HD radio a bit today, and from what I've been reading, it seems the chips draw a lot of battery power. If true, I can see where it could get to be really expensive. (It's been suggested that Microsoft may have figured out a way to resolve this problem.)
Ah, understood. This brings to mind a question of my own: The OP doesn't seem interested in a decent webmail interface, but I am (since I rarely use client email apps these days). Anyone out there know of (an)other service(s) that satisfy all the OP's needs *and* deliver a, in your opinion, better-than-Gmail/Google Apps webmail interface?
Yes, but isn't that Google Apps? The OP explicitly stated s/he is not interested in "buying a domain and using Google Apps on it". Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I'll bet this entire topic sprung from the intro of Stack Overflow. In any case, Slashdot has impeccable timing, for I was just today seeking out the JavaScript Client-Side Reference for my web programming course. I'm still digging through the posts here to find opinions regarding JavaScript references...
I have a feeling Second Life -- ((ducks) Yes, I know it's not a game! -- will one day reach a point where it can no longer improve. Patches and server upgrades won't make it significantly better. ("Better" being subjective, of course.) So there will have to be a 2nd Second Life: I don't know, maybe Third Life. Whatever. Point is, those who've already lived in the original Second Life will want to maintain an existence there even if they begin anew in Third Life or whatever.
Ha, "RTFM" is one of the most annoying retorical devices; I think it's used mainly by those too lazy to offer assistance. Some of us have actually attempted to read the manual, but it's difficult to read a manual that you have to run a "man man" command in order to understand how to RTFM in the first place. (I hope this makes sense to anyone reading this.)
I'm just saying...I mean surely it must be the community that is attracting so many to the distro. Yet that doesn't explain why so many flocked to Ubuntu in the first place; was their a pre-installed community or something?
How did Ubuntu get such a huge community so quickly? I remember hearing about Ubuntu shortly after I installed Xandros on my system, about three or four years ago. I began looking into Ubuntu, and its community was exploding, and still seems to be. I wouldn't be surprised if alot of enterprises are installing this distro now, based on its community. Yet still: why Ubuntu? Why not one of the other similar distros? Is it the name? The slogan? The color scheme? Mark Shuttleworth? What's the deal?
Seriously, though: would the Power6 have been the successor to the chip family we call Apple's G5? (You know, if Apple had continued using PowerPC chips?) I'm researching this using Wikipedia but haven't yet discovered the answer...any Slashheads know?

Today the "Rocket City USA" newspaper Huntsville Time posted an article by John Ehinger, former editor of the paper, recalling his experience of the Apollo 11 Saturn V launch.

Somebody please mod this one up! lol

Fer cryin' out loud, at least make it an outhouse. A perfect one, too, if they make it bottomless...that's maintenance free!

So when Griffin wanted to have the RadioSharkHD stream the HD over USB to your computer - BZZZZT! Wrong answer.
Guess that one is dead in the water, then, huh?

also, don't forget the world's possibly best-written programming book: SICP.
How so? Please be more specific.

Why are they referred to as "lazy"? Is it simply because their have a singular purpose, (usually) unable to multitask?
W3.org is too difficult for most beginners to understand.
Didn't bring up Sun Java docs for "java javascript class", but whatever. I went to sun.com and ran the same search.

Does anyone still search for Bigfoot?
I recall an article some time ago in which a Dreamcast could be turned into a Linux server. This may have been the article: http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT7466555948.html

So was Ubuntu the first distro that "just worked right away"? Is that why people flocked to Ubuntu in the first place?
