Encryption is pretty demanding on hardware. A normal webserver without a cryptographic accelerator can serve say 100x more webpages unencrypted then with a full HTTPS encryption.
At the blog of Sun's CEO Jonatan Schwartz, there is his version of the story. "Sun did not approach NetApps about licensing any of Sun's patents and never filed complaints against NetApps or demanded anything".
Dark energy is made of particles with zero mass - something like photons or neutrinos, but dark. At the speed of light they have some energy.
On the other hand, dark matter is something like massive particles. It is speculated about some unknown baryons, quark clouds, small asteroids etc.
This teminology is not very precise - both of these types of particles have mass and energy, of course. However, they have a different effect in the Einstein equations governing the spacetime. So it is possible to distinguish them from theobservations of expansion of space etc.
Best open source advocacy is the Microsoft's study about TCO. They base their claim on the postulate that a linux expert has higher salary then a MSWin expert.
To a MSWin expert, this is very appealing argument to start to learn linux.
I considered buying a series 60 phone a half year ago. I decided otherwise for the following reasons:
One cannot send an SMS message from it. More precisely, it sends the SMS in unicode, which is not readable at older phone (and has only 80 letters). Well, one can buy an SMS editor for this platform which fixes this "feature". But who would buy a phone without basic functionality?
Second, their developer support is really terrible. No emulator, impenetrable jargon - for example only to learn there is no emulator of ARM code takes you days, because they call header files + libs for PC an "emulator". No support for certain mainstream OS. I was not prepared to beg for the privilege of putting my pathetic code on their mighty platform, as Nokia seems to expect.
And in particular NGage suffers from the fact that latency of GSM network is almost a second. This kills NGage as a network gaming platform.
In other words, Symbian is no competition for Palm.
France desilusion from American politics dates to the first Vietnam war, when american "allies" helped themselves to former French positions. Well, I am neither French nor American, so don't ask me what the hell did they like at that positions;-)
USA asserts its own selfish interests - OK. France or whoever else can assert his own interests too.
The question is, why has Average Slashdot Joe so distorted picture of it? Even the wikipedia definition of meme is quite a way of from its original meaning.
My theory is that the stupid ones talks more, so they and spread memes more. This generates a selection pressure against clever theories.
With the first kick, the ship is accelerated to an eliptic trajectory with perihelium near Earth and apohelium near Mars. Then it must be accelerated once more to have the same orbital speed as Mars, otherwise it would fell back to the Earth orbit.
Maybe they can aim from Earth to the sail near Mars - then, with the help of Mars gravitational field, they could use the same plasma beam again.
Compare it, say, with a WWW server market. Apache leads there with cca 2/3 share, MS IIS far behind. 10 worms out of 10 still prefer MS IIS;) It is the openess what matters.
Well, I don't have M$Win, so I copied the data from friend's laptop (In order to play multiplayer, we had to generate a CD key by some warez program). Well, I suppose, legally it is OK as far as I have bought my own copy.
However, what an innovative marketing model: purchased app doesn't work, only pirated copy does.
Btw, NWN works great under linux. And there are so many modpacks (= games using NWN engine) on the net that I don't need any other RPG game.
No linux version...
And concerning the history, I remeber them buying an expensive license for Mosaic from NCSA at the moment when Microsoft had dominated the browser market already. Another completely insane decision. Maybe they now strike back on Microsoft;)
Well, in fact, realize the advertising potential of complete insanity. I'd never remember the company otherwise.
There is the great Feynman story "Easy like Count to Three". It is exactly about thinking numbers and so. Just a quote (sorry for my bad memory & retranslation):
Do you really believe in something like "halve the price by year end"? As if the prices in IT were driven by a production cost instead of marketing departments:-(

Linux and Solaris look about the same anyway - Gnome (or whatever), Firefox, Thuderbird (or whatever), Apache ...
Investment in software is 7% lower then it would have been without software patents. See Bessen & Hunt, http://www.researchoninnovation.org/swpat.pdf (summary at http://www.researchoninnovation.org/softpat.pdf).
There is a small flaw in your arguments: Geroge Bush or any other rich mach has statiscticaly less children then the poorest slum dweller.
Wrong.The cowardly legion decimated itself.

Why is the parent modded "Flamebait"? It should be "Insightfull" :-(((

How much is it in the units we are used to here - Libraries of Congress?

In Soviet Russia .... wait .... In United States, the movie is watching you ...
Yes. Try to convince a luser that format c: is a command for "read manual - read fast".
I also find meme theory very interesting.

They must accelerate it there, not slow it down.

Ahhh, the more users => more exploits myth again.

Arabic has also dual. For example Taliban means two students (talib = student).
Yes, the "opinion leaders" structure known in advertisement psychology is a kind of neural network.
"Do you know how crankshaft works?"
"Yes."
"Then tell it."
Like Nokia 5100?
