1) Energy in a given space has nothing to do with exploding. TNT doesnt explode without a detonator, Plutonium needs a critical mass and a neutron source, etc etc.
2) Since the original electricity is a trivial cost of batteries, the question is how much energy we can keep in the battery, not how much we use to get it there, so this is utterly irrelevant.
3) Vacuums apply to pressures, not energies. Have you seen the sun exploding lately because it's more energetic than the surrounding vacuum? (No, sorry, flares dont count.)
Real problem with batteries: inorganic chemistry hasn't made any huge progress lately.
Solution: capacitors. GM is planning to use them instead of car batteries in the relatively near future.
Mandrake includes all servers in the regular.iso downloads. You're right that some packages are not included, in this case b/c they are non-free, but this will have to be the case with Fedora as well, as it is with Debian. The solution is to add the Penguin Liberation Front urpmi sources, as these drop in the non-free software packages you're looking for. Also remember that RedHat rpm's work out of the box on MDK. Hopefully that sheds some light on the only linux company with a totally free distribution.
well, i rebuilt my car (bought a '93 Subaru Justy with 145k on it, stuffed in a new block, and now i have a 45mpg gas miser with a new engine for $550) and insofar as i'm a slashdot reader who exclusively runs linux (albeit mandrake), i suppose i'm a computer nerd. so yeah, one vote here!
fax spam is illegal under the federal telecommunications statutes, with severe penalties, even to working fax numbers. the phone company is able to trace these numbers, so request a trace from them after explaining what is happening, if they refuse to provide it or after you have the number, contact the FCC or send a demand letter indicating you will be contacting the FCC.
this happened to my parents; the above remedy does in fact work. best of luck!
nobody seems to have read the project page yet, or you'd note that the 'journeyOS people' are exactly one, the 'founder', and that so far the product is a conceptual description of an OS and another of a GUI. yep, that's it, no programmers, no code.
not that i think noble adventures dont start small, but if the tons of smart people working on wine cant keep full compatibility, and the xfree86 team is having trouble getting substantial performance improvements....well, i wish this guy luck.
sure sometimes we need a fresh start, but it seems as though journeyOS has perhaps a little more ambition than is healthy (posix and win32 compatibility, in full, and with good performance), and little in the way of resources. perhaps he could ask hans reiser about just how hard it is to design a good FS?
seems to have bitten off more than he could chew, and as another poster has already noted, may have made some bad strategic choices at the same time. why xml for screen drawing when metadata is so often repeated? why design the GUI for the libOS that doesnt have any programs supported, rather than those that do (ie, POSIX, win32)?
perhaps all in all 'dream big' would be a better motto for them...
well, i support them because i think the improvements they make to redhat are good ones (and in fact such forks are sortof the point of the GPL) and the only ads i will actually see are the ones that run during the otherwise boring install. did you forget that slashdot and google and other favorite free things are also ad supported? are the editors of slashdot and the sysadmins at google somehow dishonest for this? just like at google, you dont have to view the ads, and even better, since mandrake (unlike other commercial OSes like suse) is entirely free software, you can take them out. so perhaps you are just a nonprofit zealot, which is fine, debian and slack are good distros, but my mother's business is running mandrake and not one of those for a reason--installability and support.
"NetCDs" would actually be more open to liability than Snapster 2.0. the NetCDs type system would be open to the charge that it facilitates copying, since many (most) users would in fact rip the CDs to their HDDs. the Snapster 2.0 model, however, avoids this by using a streaming approach, ala Songster which is clearly legal. As long as every copy being streamed is only being streamed to one client at a time, and the technology can actually enforce this, Snapster would merely be doing what Songster is, but buying the rights to music by buying actual CDs rather than direct rights from the RIAA.
Of course the eventual downfall of this system is that either CSS-like encryption is used or CDs become software programs that play music, and the EULA indicates that Snapster 2.0 is an unpermitted use.
my parents operate a home business just outside of a suburban area, roughly 10 miles from a midsized PA city (pop ~100k). the ancient POTS wiring is so poor that no ISP can give more than 28.8kbps actual throughput on a 56k modem. adelphia has decided to stop its cable wire roughly a mile from my parents house, and they are too far from the switch for DSL. thus an entire small town has been left behind, to sign up for DirecTV or have fun with the old rabbit-ear antennas. when websites started becoming very unfriendly to slower connections, i investigated the possibilities for faster service. the two that emerged were direcPC (satellite) with absurdly high latency, complete assymetry, and an obscene fee, or ISDN from Verizon with an equally obscene fee for a (largely) obsolete technology.
since 28.8 is becoming really unacceptable (updating a web browser is a real chore), i investigated the ISDN option verizon supposedly offers...2 months later verizon will still not return my calls or email regarding a residential or business ISDN line...they are simply not interested in a lone installation of an aging technology, or may not want to admit that universal availability of ISDN is a sham. i do not know. bottom line--only provider actually willing to provide >28.8 service is satellite...10 miles from a city in a northeastern state! they might as well live in rural montana for all the 'information age' cares.
if you get down to page 12, you see that the court's opinion was based not only on the degradation in quality but on two other factors: the 'transformation in use' in that Kelly's work was for aesthetic value and Arriba's infringement was for informational value; and that Arriba's infringement was not competitive with the market for Kelly's product. it would seem that neither of these factors is present in mp3s of lower quality, and yet both are present in 30s clips of music, thus meshing well with law in those areas.
they dont detect the penetrator, the explode when it hits the outer part of the reactive armor casing. further, while they may have some minimal effect on du penetrators, the real point is to disrupt shaped charge projectiles, which are the cheap and common way of attacking tanks. do your homework.
the mozilla port is on the qnx site; do you have links to the abiword, gimp, etc ports? also, do you know if any of the horde of chat clients have been ported?
there's a reason why college debaters, who have to take notes on a speaker moving at over 300 wpm, have always printed. it's actually faster and more readable if you do it right. most people who learned cursive well, however, never learned to print quickly and vice versa, so it's hard to get comparison tests. college debaters who start out in cursive however, always end up printing by the end of their first year.

i have a linux laptop, p250, 64mb ram running mandrake 9.0 and kde, and sure it takes a beat for apps to open, but it runs just fine, no problems...
