And even if you don't care about gaming at all, this is the only card on any platform that supports the 30" cinema display, so if you want one of those you need the card anyway.
The new 3DLabs Realizm cards have a DDL connector. I wonder if that means they can support the display.
What about people who don't own a car. I have a licence but have not had a car in about a year. I know many people who live in places with good transportation that don't bother to buy a car, but may want a licence so that the few times a year that they want to drive they can rent a car.
It's called "nonowner's insurance". Ask your agent about it -- it's to protect you when you're driving a rental car or someone else's car. It also has the nice side benefit of keeping a continuous insurance history; without that history, your rates will be higher when you next get owner's insurance.
I once wrote a web page that was HTML4.01/CSS2 compliant. It displayed fine in Mozilla, Opera, and Konquerer, and even broke in a usable way in Netscape 4. In IE5, a number of elements showed up in the wrong places (the footer, for example, was plastered across the middle of the page).
(And as a side note, it seems that the Slashdot editors don't want any more people pointing out how bad the HTML on the main page is. Attempting to run it through the W3C validator produces a "403 forbidden" error).
The algorithms are going to be circumvented no matter what Google does. Keeping them secret gives Google a little more time to develop the next set of algorithms.
Peltier + heatsink will cool the sensor itself down, but won't move the heat very far, and the hot side of the peltier will be putting off about 150% more heat than is being removed from the cold side. If you need to move the heat far from the sensor, try peltier + water cooling, or chilled water.
One day when we've maxed out Moore's Law, it will stop making economic sense to build a single-CPU computer. If there's a deep change in how software engineering is done, it will probably be around the issues of running a program over several CPUs. (Obviously, just MHO.)
If you've been following recent hardware developments, it looks like we'll be seeing that change in the next five years. Everyone's planning to go multicore for either their next generation of CPUs, or the generation after that.
I wish those graphics card companies realized there isn't much to lose in opening up a driver's code (no, it won't release trade secrets if the hardware interface is generic) and everything to gain by grabbing the emerging hi-perf graphics card market for Linux.
They've got a lot to lose by doing so if the driver source code contains someone else's trade secrets under an NDA.
"Patriot Act"? Who comes up with these names anyway? Back in the good old days, bills were given names that had to do with what they were about! Take the "Alien and Sedition Act": it covered aliens: ie. foreigners, and sedition: ie. calling the president names.
Nowadays, all we get are things like the "Induce Act", which covers the distribution of copyrighted material, and the "Patriot Act", which has nothing to do with patriotism, but rather covers things like spying on citizens, library books, and bridge repair.
I've compiled Gentoo on a 233MHz Intel with 48MB of RAM. The key to speeding things up was to specify -O1 rather than -O2 -- you lose a bit of optimization, but the greatly-reduced compile time makes up for it.
Fuel cells are only batteries. The theoritical best is getting back what you put in them. Even assumming a 99% efficiency you'll still be running off how efficient the original power source was.
You missed my point. My point is that, unless you're God Himself, you're going to have trouble using more than 30% of the energy released by burning gasoline. On the other hand, if you extract the energy from the gasoline some other way, you can use more of it.
If there's a new development in viruses, my guess is it will be one that actually provides some kind of benefit for the user, to create a kind of symbiosis.
Is it posible your just a night person in a day-walkers world?
I have come to belive that there is a small portion of the population that is geneticly predisposed to be the "night watchman". Perhaps its not as much now as when your tribe didn't want to get eaten in their sleep.
Actually, it's not a small portion. Most teenagers have a natural sleep cycle of "stay up late, sleep in late". Frequently, "teenage insomnia" is actually an inability to adjust to the far different sleep cycle the schools expect.
I'm not impressed. The Spanish in the 15th century in their voyages to the New World and back were getting thousands of miles per galleon.
Once you factor in the shipwreck rate, though, it starts to look rather abysmal. I'm sure that with modern technology, we could get far more miles out of each galleon.

There is no point in creating laws if they aren't going to be enforced.

Two problems:
1) You're only allowed 25 pounds for safety devices.
2) It's pretty expicit that the "safety devices" in question are parachutes or equivalent.
I find that "rm -f" removes it quite nicely.

code to the standard, thats usually your best bet

Am I right when I guess JFS means Journaling File System? Why would it "of course" be mentioned by SCO? Could someone give us its history?
It's "of course" because it's been part of SCO's claims since almost the beginning.

Sounds to me like the problem isn't the FTTH. I think the problem is the bankrupt telco.

Anyone knows how long it takes until one can use old software? Does it take 70 years or so like the Mickey Mouse character protection?
It takes until the company that wrote it no longer cares to enforce its copyright.
(Or, if you want to be legal, it takes 135 years)

But does it have Dual Data Link output?

It's informative in a "well, duh!" sort of way.
How to rate this? The first sentence is clearly informative, the last few are clearly funny, but what about the rest?

It's hardly "small, out of the way". It's right there in System Preferences -> Sharing, with a very nice start/stop toggle button next to it.

The reason they use grey iron for engine blocks is that it's dead simple to work with.
I'm not a mechanical engineer, but I worked in the auto industry for a few years.

It's called "spyware".

Don't you mean "furlongs to the hogshead"? "Hectares" is a metric unit of area.
