1-2 meter? where do you have those numbers from? Did ya just pull em out of your arse? IF things go so badly that the ice on Greenland and Antarctica melts, see level vill rice about 68 meters, 61 from Antarctica and 7 from Greenland.
Mind you, this is what you would have found had you bothered to ask google
I doubt any scientist will say the question is what happens to the sea lvl if the ice on Greenland and Antarctica melts, but rather IF it will melt and if the rice we now see in temperature is man made.
but somewhere in the deepest darkest depths of Redmond there is a safe which contains the list of 135 Patents they think have been infringed What on earth makes you think that? I think 135 is somewhere around 20d10;..;
This is WERY true! It seems the real vista haters are the hardcore gamers. If games dos indeed go with directx 10 and linux can provide, they might turn! Geting gamers to go for linux will be the thing that maks linux on the desktop more mainstream!
It should be noted that if vista fails, it is not the first time a windows has more or less failed due to low user adoption and general a "this version blows, lets stik to the last one" attitude. Windows ME anyone?
Sure, for the us consumers, but the main target is not the us consumer. Other contries will get it at a lower cost since the us $ is currently unusually low. Right now, it is actually very nice to buy stuff from the us since I get about 14% discount compared to what I'm used to pay for the $, and prices hasn't gone up, at lest not on the licenses I usually by from the us:p
I thought you could get qt gpl and non gpl, but gpl version could only be used for gpld projects, and since opera is not, they have to use the commercial license?
Yeah, I still remember reading about em being a few years away in the mid/early nineties.... That company is basically the reason flyincars are considered up ther with cold fusion:p
Yeah, but article poster stated that he wants a spell checker that fill note that thers an error in "void functionSigniture(some)" which dos makes kinda sense in a shared project where others will have to work with an existing error and fixing it can be tedious.
My guess is that using aspell and just divide function names on capital letters and _ it should be little problem to implement. It will however demand some structure to your function names, so no calculateWhereYuoarerightNow(), but that should usually be mildly inconvenient.
The compiler however is great at interpreting a programing language, but dont give a rats arse if the function names are readable and correctly spelled....
What? Since when in what language will a function fail to compile if you have spelled it incorrectly? As a matter of fact, it will compile and most editors will pick up the spelling error as a legit function to be called from elsewhere in the code and will add it to list of autocompletable functions which will spread the error!
The problem stated her is not that adoption of Vista is slow. The problem is that even tho Vista adoption is fairly high, directX10 is Vista only, so if you make a game that uses it, you will only reach a small audience, as opposed to directx(8? 9? or whatever where around wen xp came out) which were available for both xp, me and 98 so game developers developing for it could be assured all gamers could use their games:p except me, of course, who only play on linux:p
Not to be nagging, but maybe cosmology is not common as knowledge as you would like to think, references to easily readable information should always accommodate a post like that, or it will easily come of as slightly elitist and patronizing flamebait instead of something useful and informative.:p
NASA scientist: You want to take the worlds largest space nuclear reactor into a low orbit?
"Ex" Al Quida scientist: Yes, yes, I will fly it manually. I have learned it from the latest flight simulator. Now go away!
I live in Norway, and I think some cities have outlets on some parking lots, that and the fact that you can park em for free on any none city owned parking area and use the public transportations lane to avoid the heavy traffic would have made em quite nice for short distance travel if it where not for the price tag.
Her they want about 35k + the service deal of a little over 200$ a month, not 15-17k like they want over there... Of course all gasoline cars her is rather heavily taxed(usually over 50% of the sales price of a car is government taxes), but electric cars don't even have sales tax on em. A Toyota Yaris starts at about 28k including government all the taxes not added to the el-car.... Even with the relatively cheap electricity and expensive gass, it really is quite expensive to be green:(
Why don't they set it up just slightly different? If police car made a query on every plate it saw, and if plate was wanted, tag it, if not, forget you ever saw it. Problem solved. The issue her is the possibility of abusing the the stored travel patterns of every one ever encountering police cars, we don't want that data fall into the wrong hands.....
Then main reason they could do it in 10 years back then is that back then you had an enemy to compete with. Winning over the Soviet Union had priority, and the public even accepted loss of lives to win. Unless the US gets an arch enemy to compete with again some time in the future, it will not be possible to ever convince the American public it is worth the risk to push ahead at the speed they did in the Apollo program. NASA can still push development, but not at the same speed or with the same resources.
How quickly can you aim that thing? I know very little about mortars, but vs artillery, I'd say you have like 10-15 seconds depending on distance. With each unit firing 3-6 shells a minute, and them generally operation in batteries of 4-6 artillery units, you had better aim FAST! Or, you'll need allot of synced lasers so they don't target the same shells....

Wouldent it be more effective to simply cut it off?

It never finishes the calculation, hence never gets it wrong?
Nah, my bet is on dune worms.... Or that huge worm Han and Leia landed in in The Empire Strikes back :p

If I remember the incident correctly, this one did not slam into the ground, it exploded in mid air..... Still, odds are its pretty edgy tho :p

I thought shows like lost, smallwile and CSI where pretty popular over there. They are not so wery futuristic, but sci-fi none the less.
I think what your looking for is your boot disk and the command grub-install --some_parameter_to_to_set_root_directory :p

I don't think 9250 is supported by the official ati drivers anymore :( (The ati vista drivers neither support 9250 I belive)
The margin on hardware is much smaller than it is on software, MS can give maybe a 70% discount whereas they might be able to get 10% on hardware.
