According to Nobel rules, the prize be be 100% to one person, 50-50% amongst two winners, or 50-25-25% if three. I haven't been able to determine from the news stories which of them gets the 50%... Anyone know? Probably the French guy...
Can you believe these same rich people are allowed to picnic in Golden Gate Park, and walk our fair city streets all for free?!? Outrageous!
In reality, the per capita income of San Francisco is under $20k/yr. Families like mine making over $75k can certainly afford their own network connections (I pay $35/mo. for 6 meg down, 500k up DSL [sonic.net]). They are unlikely to switch to a free 300k service without service/support/guarantees/etc.
Additionally, Mayor Newsom has stated making access available to the poor as a prime reason for free wireless. Personally I don't know why this is the case, as we wealthy already pay a USF (universal service fee) for net access for the poor (just like phone service). My big question is who is going to provide computers/wireless cards/setup/training etc? That seems like a bigger cost than providing internet access that can be had for under $10/month...
When I run into this I usually the the IT head about how great his security standards are--so great that I need to write down each password on a post-it note... Now that's security!
I doubt it--since the Mayor has like 117% approval ratings due to having hired women heads of the police and fire departments, as well as the whole gay marriage thing, it's unlikely he would have any difficulty being re-elected. Remember this is San Francisco!
Exactly! I find the conclusions of the research to be quite specious. Yahoo may simply have tighter controls of what is considered a match, which, by the way, is no simple algorithm.
In any case, I am usually not so interested in the numbers of matches, but in the quality of the list returned--hopefully one website will have exactly what I need...
Being that 99 44/100% of all GPL'd software originally came out under the current GPL, will there be any version conflicts with currently licensed software? I.e. if the newer license is *less* restrictive on some point, can existing software licensing be "upgraded" to the new license without have to obtain the acceptance of every single contributor?
P.S. This is a real question, not a flamebait or troll...
Why does the American government continue to believe that simply changing a regulation will suddenly create competition?
Giving telcos monopoly rights to the lines put in under heavy government subsidies will not entice them to allow any tpye of competition.
It seems to me that lines to consumers (data, electric, gas) can never be a competitive market--who's going to have six different natural gas lines into their home or apartment building? It's impractical.
The proper thing to do is for the government or it's designated non-competitive company to run the infrastructure, and let competitors rent space.
Consider how rail services in Europe were opened for competition--the government owns the tracks, and competing companies run the trains (Britrail in the UK, similar in Sweden).
Having server processes deliver content does nothing to eliminate browser compatibility issues.
These issues lie with the developer at heart, and the QA engineers. One needs to ensure compatibility at the unit-testing stage, having followed standards (as in the IBM article) in the design and coding stages...
Why should the addition of keys worry you? I had this same layout of extra keys on Sun keyboards for years. I had apps like Emacs programmed to do what was printed on the keycaps (cut, paste, search, etc). Took me years to stop reaching for those keys when they took away my Sun & gave me a pc (piece o' crap).
Maybe it's because you make the assumption you later question--that you have to press those side keys manually to switch between keyboard layout settings for various apps. That would be pretty stupid wouldn't it? It would be easy to tie into the window manager such that the system itself could reprogram the keyboard as you switch focus from window to window...
Another one of my great ideas I never got around to doing... [I also dreamt up maglev trains when I was 8 years old--unfortunately that one had already been invented]
I used to be an old APL programmer and thought LED keycaps would be an excellent idea to see the APL characters...
But this together with your "belt made from IDE cable, necklaces made from capacitors, and a cuff bracelet made of midi cables" and I wish you good luck going through airport security!

From TFA:
GPS 2R-M1 will assume the Plane C, Slot 4 position, taking over for the GPS 2A-20 craft launched in May 1993.
And all you gaming monkeys need never put down the controllers!

Everything is politics. That you can be sure of.

Yes, a better test would be to find 10,012 random web pages somehow (port sniffing?) and then try to query for those pages...

So they have an implicit acceptance of whatever might go into to version n years from now?
;-)
Like "permission to use the author's power tools on odd weekends"?

Screenshots don't look as good as the perfect openSuSE...
Two great tastes that taste like _______ together!
I wasn't aware of any grand uproar against Fedora by end users...
Looks like there are some differences between Novell's SUSE and Redhat's Fedora mentioned in the FAQ
Yast? It that it then? The FAQ answer doesn't exactly make the differences between opensuse and fedora sounds terribly large...
Right now, someone is boarding a plane at SeaTac, on their way to the Midwest with a special, one-time offer...

I still have a handfull of .mp2 files actually provided for free from the record companies...
Who cares about Tim Berners-Lee? TLDs existed for decades before anyone every heard of of him.
Maybe we should also consider Al Gore's input?
And it'll probably cost you about $150,000.00 over five years...
Coffee?!? Chai?!?
It clear you just near a big tall Enzyme-rich bromelaine crush!
Never tried it, but I do like Orange Crush...
