According to what I read there, they got their information from the schools. That being said, however, they probably just called the schools and talked to a receptionist that either didn't know much, or just wanted to get off the phone. I doubt Forbes did their own research for this 'survey', and if they really did, well, damn they're dense.
Yea, they list RPI with a 24:100 computer to student ratio, but they require the students to own a computer (and have it with them if they live on campus). So shouldn't this really be 124:100?
They are smaller than the glue itself. The glue most likely would be unable to bond with the graphite, and if it could, it would make the structure more glue than graphite. My idea would be to take many full-sized (let full-size be as big as you want, but at least something workable, say 1cm) sheets and layer them with 1 or two padding layers between on the edges only. If it is rigid, it will stay immediately, if not, when you pull it taught it will.
If I am one of the people inside this simulator, can I be sitting in a room playing with a gnu/linux machine running this simulator [repeat ad infinitum]??
Just wondering...
Oh yea, also, is it processor dependent, or can it be recompiled for my Amiga?
I'd go more with:
Mozilla/Firefox: As soon as this story's thread gets about 100 posts
IE: MAYBE before this story is lost into the abyss that is/dev/null.
ScanTron machines [they are used in school systems for multiple-choice tests, the sheets look sort of like SAT sheets] will calculate statistics for a set of cards, and if there is a card with errors, it will chirp at it, and if I remember correctly, some of them will actually spit out the bad cards into a seperate tray.
Please re-read my post, I did not say Xerox's system was usable, in fact, i said the early Mac system was not, and said that imho Amiga and GEOS were the first usable GUIs.
Joe User wouldn't normally be making a RAID. Also, if Joe User wanted to make a "Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks", he'd most likely be doing this to make it redundant, and if he's losing a disk, it isn't really that inexpensive, and not in Joe User's mediocre budget. I think having RAID-5 support on-board is a valid suggestion.
In NJ, we used to have little tiny throw-levers in a machine that I think just punched a card automatically. This year will be my first time in a voting booth in about 10 years, so I don't know if its the same.
Also, with these touch screen things, wouldn't the person before you leave their fingerprints on the screen? If so, doesn't this ruin the privacy of voting?
RealVNC took over AT&T Laboratories' (Cambridge, UK) VNC. The last AT&T versions (up to 3.3.7) were released under the GNU GPL. RealVNC is run by former AT&T Labs employees. This is the original VNC.
They are currently developing (and starting to release) commercial VNC servers for Windows and UNIX platforms. The free version is still released with source and docs. They ask for your info when you download, but you are not required to provide any.
I use RealVNC (and occasionally AT&T's VNC on non-updated systems) for all of my remote-access-ing.
In theory, the Great, all-powerful, League of United Nations (The UN) could impose regulation that member nations must have a law or similar regulation that says and/or includes a certain thing, but what makes you think that the 'major' nations in the UN would comply?
But since it is about licensing, you could actually contact MSFT's licensing department and try to get them to acknowledge that the license you paid for covers your machine, and when/if it doesn't work, you can start filing defraud and antitrust suits up the wazoo.
So why don't I just take a bunch of processors, link them together, and claim it is all one processor with multiple cores, and force Microsoft to set its price down to the single processor price???
After all, a multi-core processor is really just multiple processors in one package, isn't it?
Slashdot Mirror
Yes, but now let us compare cost. Also, fibre needs more plastic (or similar) coating just to make it visible, yet alone workable.
You should be able to purchase these using your mobile phone, and the charger, thats a good idea :), but its gotta have an outlet.

Hey, CowboyNeal can throw a Buick pretty far

RPI was the first technical institution. MIT is newer and is not as tech based as it is science based.
Works fine here.

Graphite and Diamonds are different polymorphs of Carbon. They have different structures and different properties.
See this site for more detals.

If you layer the layers with the proper spacing in between, this should work, right?
Or, if you compress the layers together really, really hard, with alot of heat, it becomes a diamond.
In the case that it was 'usable' at all, I guess the Xerox PARC was the first usable, any way you look at it, Mac OS was not.

I agree.
Also, reading one of the links on the KDE News article, they suggest 'Why Apple', giving reason that "The Macintosh was the pioneer in providing a Usable Graphical User Interface." This is completely untrue. Xerox made the first GUI, and I believe the first usable GUI was either Intuition (Amiga's Workbench) or GEOS. The original MacOS was not very easily operated imho.
See Wikipedia: History of the graphical user interface

I agree that regulation is inevitable, but it should not be by the FCC. The FCC has too much power as it is.
Keep IP FCC Free!

./Amiga/.
Does the manual include a copy of the source code, or an address I can write to to get the source code for all GPL'd parts?
With direcTiVo, do you pay a monthly/yearly service rate, or is the serivce rate included in your DirectTV bill?
My wife is entirely capable of operating it.
That settles it, I need one!!!

Now how can I modify my Amiga to be a PVR....
Oh well, I guess I need a DPS-PAR card.
I prefer REXX scripts, especially AREXX, but Ruby is cool too.
