This Japanese Import is available translated into English from Dynamism, and is smaller than a hardback book. It weights just under two pounds, has a 1 GHz Efficeon processor, a wide screen 7.2" display and absolutely stunning looks and style.
7.2" for a display is just too small, IMHO most people want either a regular sized laptop or a palmtop, these variations inbetween are just too weird to be really useful as a replacement for either.
Fact 21: For every 25% increase in problem complexity, there is a 100% increase in solution complexity.
Addendum: Unless you are talking about a Microsoft product where for every 1 % increase in problem complexity, there is a 7 year delay in solution delivery.
Love is when the desire to be desired takes you so badly that you feel you could die of it.
By the looks of it Mr. Currently-Owned-by-Microsoft Toulouse does not desire to be desired by Microsoft enough to feel he could die, but that's just what might happen if he keeps working on this mission impossible project.
Ah, you have nothing Toulouse^Wto lose, but your job at Microsoft.
This is definitely a great discovery and well worth the cost, but keeping it exclusively in the hands of the armed forces not only nullifies its potential global benefit to mankind, but also makes it less profitable for the owners. IMHO, they should make these bandages available to everyone at a price that would give them a 10 - 15 % profit margin. They should also allocate a portion of the profits to a special fund for those who cannot afford these bandages because any discovery of such importance to mankind cannot be kept solely in the hands of the few who discovered it.
As for honey and coffee, they are common household items and are likely to be handy in case of an accident at home or even at work.
11:55:01 <Theo> For the last time, there is no ICMP vulnerability, period!!!
11:55:08 <Niels> OK, man, whatever you say. So who submitted the bug report in the first place?
11:56:23 <Theo> Who cares? It's B-O-G-U-S! Now leave me alone, can't you see I'm busy?!
11:56:29 <Niels> Jeez, would it kill you to give me the details on this alleged bug?
11:59:51 <Niels> Theo? Are you there, man?

As said one of the co-founders of the Oregon-based company behind these bandages, "You can have a hole in your heart and 60 seconds later it's sealed."
Correction: the said co-owner does not have a heart (otherwise he would not be making such a killing with those exclusive overpriced bandages) and thus his little chest-stabbing PR stunt resulted in only a minor self-inflicted cutaneous injury.
Seriously though, if you want something handy and effective to stop bleeding, try honey or ground coffee.
Now I know why my last post about WinFS missing from Longhorn was modded as Flamebait, somebody was trying to get my goat (no pun on Longhorn intended) so I'd post an angry comment here.
Well, I guess that didn't quite work as expected, did it now, buddy?!
The most notable element of this announcement was Gates' admission that WinFS, Microsoft's next-generation file system, would not be complete in time for this release - surprising, since this was the most hyped component of the next iteration of Windows.
And just what is surprising about that? Everyone with at least half a brain (no pun on recent Half-Life posts intended) knows not to expect Microsoft to deliver. Any news on Rob Love's work on the Linux alternative to WinFS?
I guess I can now break the news that Brin and Page intend to stack up the entire Google data center into the world's largest rack. With the jurisdiction problem out of the way they will finally be able to do what they wanted to do in the first place. Start their X-rated Go-Ogle portal.

The more numerous the population and the longer its evolution, the greater the risk to that population due to greater exposure TO, variety OF and total fatality caused BY yet unknown threats. Populations naturally counter the increased risk with varied success by becoming more numerous.
The good doctor fails to see the big picture here, otherwise he would know that we are not the only species on this planet that is evolving. By overpopulating the planet we are also creating conditions for known threats to evolve into more dangerous threats and for yet unknown threats to break the magic incidence of 1 in 6+ billion.
Due to the long evolution of the species on this planet, each new threat is more likely to cause higher fatality than any already known threat. The level of sophistication of that threat, its resemblance to any known threats to which the target population is immune and adaptability of the immunity of the target population as a whole determine both the incidence of and fatality caused by that threat.
So far, we have always managed to survive as a species and our immunity is a direct product of interaction with our environment throughout evolution. What this means is that, contrary to what the good doctor seems to believe, were our immunity weaker today, the number of threats we would be exposed to would be much smaller as well. Otherwise we, as a species, would have either developed immunity to those threats or become extinct.
I suggest that the good doctor not buy his degree online in the future.
You're comparing apples to pears, but just for argument's sake: just so you know, an Intel PIII CPU can survive without a heatsink without sustaining permanent damage! I guess now you're going to tell me you meant AMD Athlons because somebody told you they burn out within a couple of seconds.
IMHO, UW Madison and UIUC are both party schools, but in very different ways. People at UW Madison seem to try to make up for the lack in variety of entertainment by throwing really crazy, over the top parties that lack quality and that most people want to forget after they've sobered up. I didn't like that kind of partying, let me tell you that. UIUC, on the other hand, is all about variety AND quality, there was never a dull moment there, always something fun to do and the parties were really cool. Of course, there was some crazy partying going on there as well, but that was not the only kind of partying, as that was the case at UW Madison. On top of that, UIUC also has a better academic program.
I also got to experience the quality of entertainment offered at Berkeley, CMU and MIT when I would visit my friends and all I can say is that it does not measure up to the quality you can experience at UIUC. Berkeley seemed somehow too laid back and mellow, as if people didn't need to chill out because they were content with everything all the time. I had fun there and all, but it was just not very exciting. CMU had more of deadening quality to it, as if people were too numb to want to relax and have fun, while MIT had more of an intense, workaholic quality to it, as if people had to schedule 'fun' into their appointment books. Intense planning and almost no spontaneity. Of course, that's just my personal experience, YMMV.
So now you see how a 3.5 GPA turns into a 4.0 GPA at Rose-Hulman. I still think they deserve to be number though, after all they managed to fool the highly esteemed team of professionals who did that highly scientific survey.
Been there, done that - no. 4 and 2, and since I seem to have established a 2^(n-1) based tradition, I think I'll be going to Boulder next. You can never get enough... education.
It was epoxy, I could not believe my hands. Anyway, read my other reply to another guy's similar comments regarding board making.
I agree with you on the other points, remember Day of the Tentacle? Indiana Jones? Monkey Island? Wing Commander? Ah, those were the days... When a Diamond Stealth with a mere 1 MB of video memory did the job and did it well.

FreeBSD 4.9 Code Freeze
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
I was wondering, can any of the people who seem to be badmouthing FreeBSD all the time code? If so, have you contributed at least a line of code to making your much beloved Linux better? If so... Wait a minute, I'm talking to myself now.
Seriously though, if you are not contributing in any way, but still think that just being a fan makes you superior to other teams and their fans, you should think about this: the game is not about you, you're just observers and if your team should cease to exist, you wouldn't know what to do with a football to save your life. So put your scarf on, cheer like a good sport, but leave the criticism to those who actually play the game.
I'm saying that we should not glorify technology when it's people who deserve the credit. Without having backup radio they would have found another way and then somebody would say: ah, isn't that such wonderful technology? Not as wonderful as the people who invented it and who put their energy (no pun intended) into making creative use of it.
True, but AMD could also leave cooling up to whoever buys their CPUs to assemble systems for the retail market. But do they do that? No, quite the opposite. Why? Because those who integrate your product into a substandard system will damage your reputation as well when their systems start dying because of their neglicence and substandard production.
It's also quite laughable that a TNT2 cannot last a minute without a heatsink without getting damaged beyond repair.
My late NVidia TNT2 was dynamite, it got so hot the heatsink fell off, which resulted in a permanent visual effect that I can best describe as psychedelic shadow. Now, why would I trust NVidia to use better epoxy on their latest GPU, which dissipates 9 times more heat than my late TNT2?
And why would I trust ATI to get fully functional drivers out in less than 2764 attempts or before my unborn children start school?
Choosing between NVidia and ATI is like choosing between enduring hot needles and the Chinese water torture. In the end you die and someone makes a buck.
Does this software also report the color of the pirate's bandana? I have a suspicion that it reports everything and everyone except for the pirates who wear purple polka dot bandanas. And those who wear no underwear when overclocking.

Instead of taking pictures of the surface, we should have a couple taken of GS from the surface.
If our friends do not feel like doing us that favor then we should use Sojourner, unless our friends are using it as a skateboard, of course.

I was using ACLs long before I began using FreeBSD and I've reduced my explanation of ACLs to the uninitiated to the following dialogue:
Mike: "My mama didn't raise no fool!"
Bob: "So who raised you, then?"
Show me a shorter explanation of ACLs and I will post a troll about Linux. Oh, wait, this was it.
He just does not mind giving out random numbers to credit people.
