I saw a demo of Looking Glass. It rocked. And yes, I do see potential uses for this technology, not least for some serious storage management. Or complex document management. Or large EDA tool integration. The possibilities are fascinating, and don't tell me you "don't see them".
But, this demo was so long ago, by now I thought every nerd on earth knew about it. I am surprised Slashdot psoted it as news.
If no regulation is put in place and companies continue to outsource well-paid (or even normal-paid) jobs, the U.S. will end up without a middle class. A 10% of the population (or less) would be very wealthy while the rest would be poor.
If you think such a country is not viable, just take a look at Brazil, where the middle class is nonexistent. The country, though, is still functioning, but it's not a place where I'd like to live as the average citizen.
So if you think that Carly Fiorina has the best interest of the average citizen in mind, when she says that the people in U.S. don't have a "God-given right to a job", you're a fool. She and the rest of her friends that rotate on the various Boards of Directors will be better off. She'll be able to afford one more yacht, that's all.
..from the/. point of view, but I have nothing against the Moon/Mars exploration initiatives, at all. Do I think that funds should be withdrawn from existing programs? Heck no! But do I think the Moonbase/man-on-Mars programs should be seriously considered? Heck YES!
The Mbutu Seseseko ads are certainly an evident fraud, as well as the "get rich fast" ones.But recently there was a penis enlargement product customer (ahem) that sued the company behind the product, because it did not have any effect on his size. When this was published on/., everybody went "well DUUHHHHH".
But beyond these, the very fact that spammers and their sponsors are hard to trace, makes them a potential source of fraud, and if they are unscrupulous enough to spam you and don't offer you an opt-out, well, you see where I'm going. This is the world we're living in. These guys are criminalsenjoying a temporary amnesty from the law, and there's no reason why they wouldn't go the full way.
First of all, I never bought and never will buy anything advertised in a spam mail.
That said: But they really don't want to pay for international shipping for a few bottles of viagra,
Two problems with this statement: 1. You presume that these spammers really do bother delivering something. I believe these are colossal frauds, and wouldn't be surprised if they didn't ship a ting.
2. You are implying that these companies wouldn't charge the shipping on their customers.
There isn't much to it, really. You need to connect the tape out (or "Play") lines to your soundcard's line-in plug, with a cable like this (sometimes it's called RCA-to-stereo plug, Y cable etc.)
In windows, using "Volume Control" (find it in the right bottom corner in the tray) make sure you set the line-in as the device from which you record.
I dunno about removing hiss. Maybe the new audacity can do that.

I believe this is not too far from what you can achieve with user mode linux. We've been using similiar technology in unix classess at school using uml.
There are however few differences:
1.) Solaris accesses host filesystem, while in user mode linux, you have to provide file or block device with disk image it will use. This is quite bad, because you have to preallocate space for zones. There is a project that aims to allow this, but I don't know how usable is this. You could of course overcome this by doing Root FS on NFS and dhcp and letting the guest os mount host's partition via NFS. This would probably have quite significant performance overhead though:(. Filesystem in filesystem is not very optimal too.
2.) It is not that easy to setup. This could be done with few scripts. I would love Debian and possibly other distros to have scripts, which would instantly create the zone's filesystem. Preferably, it would allow for some sharing (f.e. creating hard links to original data and kernel would unlink, copy transparently if slave wants to write -- some equivalent of copy on write seen in memory management).
3.) The networking is not so easy to setup. Could be also part of the script
4.) Linux does not have so well done resource allocation as Solaris. So the guest kernel should be able to limit itself (f.e. not to use more than 30% of cpu time). Is it possible to do some precise resource allocation under Linux (maybe using some patch to kernel, or something like that?)
For me, Audacity 1.0 is just fine for what I do - digitizing tapes and records, simple home-studio recordings. What I always missed: -fade in and out tools -what you said -and to be able to chose the soundcard, if you have more than 1 installed
We had the same problem (compat with WP docs) and solved it very well with StarOffice. Now we can use Linux as a very viable desktop, while still being able to access our old WP material.
You might be skeptical, but just try StarOffice: the way it handles WP documents is surprisingly good.
If I received an e-mail that starts with "Hello Sir" and is signed by someone claiming to be a CTO, my finger would be pressing that Delete button quicker than you can say "corroboration".
And just for your information, you can corroborate someone's claim, or you can have a corroboration of a statement, but you cannot be in corroboration.
One day you'll ralize that you just embarrassed yourself, CTO.
Coincidently, I have both movies. Well, talking of Yamato, I only have "Live forever, Yamato", nothing else. Do you know where could I pick up the rest? And related, any idea where I could find Galaxy Express 999 cartoons?
Flash RAM can support up to about 10.000 write-cycles or less! This makes it unsuitable as a means to replace a hard-drive. NVRAM (Non-Volatile RAM) is a much better solution, but it's more expensive. Also, it will retain your data no longer than 10 years (this is probably not a problem for Xbox users).
Flash RAM's application is to store firmware code that is not meant to change frequently. I imagine that the type of data one stores on a HDD changes frequently, sometimes very frequently.
And you are aware of the military aid that Egypt and the United Arab Emirates receive from the US? The aid to Egypt is both in development (Abrams M1 co-developed in Egypt) and money (about $2B/year) and similarly with the UAE - the US is developing a new type of missile defense system with the Emirates. Of some interest is the military aid to the Saudis, as well.
I would be more than happy if the US didn't give a single dollar to Israel, as this money has to be spent on armament, which Israel needs only because of it's neighbors. This armament has to be bought from the US, even in case where there are better Israeli solutions (like the radar system in the F-16i).
It's just a dirty game the US plays, and some Israeli politicians agree to play along. But in reality Israel doesn't need this "help", even though it's surrounded by enemies that have sworn contless times to wipe her off the face of the earth, and even though Israel is really a tiny country in comparison to Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Lybia and Iraq (add the Iranian Hizbollah and Lebenon to the enemy forces). Israel can not afford to have foreign forces penetrate it's territory, as there is so little space there. These are severe constrains, but even so, I believe that the American military aid is not necessary, as it ties down Israel in it's decisions.
So what I find laughable is your assertion that the US influences only Israel. Where'd your common sense go?
Of course, with American help to the other Arab countries, Israel might find itself at a disadvantage, but so it did in every war that was planned and/or carried out by it's enemies, and as far as I know, Israel is still on the map. Even when Kissinger decided that Egypt should be allowed a victory to "stabilize the middle east" and withdraw all help from Israel, the Egyptians failed to conquesr the Holy Land. I think that's the best proof that Israel can fend off these threats.
Sadly, the Israeli leaders have put their faith too much into this american "aid", instead of the people of israel. The 1948 war of independence should have proven aboundantly that it's not the weapons but the people that win a war, with determination, skills, tactics and production.
As for you being aware of the devastation wreaked by Palestinean suicide bombers, that's such rich bullshit. No, the 3-year old boy with his innards being picked up by the first aid doctors isn't it, or the Zaka volunteers having to use spatulas and such tols to collect the pieces of shattered bodies, for a dignified burial. It's not even the nails that have to be removed from the head of unfortunate bus passengers. No, the worst, most frightning thing I'd like you to have in front of your eyes is this 5 year old girl with bloody face, eyes wide open in disbelief and utter horror, and not a single tear.
So don't tell me you are aware and such crap. You don't even understand the real facts of life in the region. The "some of my best friends are Jewish" is usually an excellent filer or preface to the worst anti-semitic tirades I have ever heard.
Dtrace probes was be the most important factor for our decision to upgrade all development servers to Solaris 10. We'll mostly skip Solaris 9, actually.
The fact is that we need as much insight in our processes as we can possibly get, as every little performance increase helps. Plus, we get to inspect possible sources of instability.
Typically our products interact with several third-party products, and the DTrace probes will be very useful in tracking down memory leaks and utilization details in such complex environments.

2 Mpixel phones? I don't know of any 2 Mpixel phone. In fact, this Nokia model is a first 1 Mpixel phone as far as I know.
I just hope we don't let technology govern what little part of our everyday life that we have left that isn't affected by technology.
Too late, dude!

No, of course it doesn't. You stil create CO2 and therefore greenhouse gas. That's why you would bother with an electric car.

Shouldn't /. take a stand of principle, and do not use the word "piracy" to describe unauthorized software copying?
