I do my best work during the magical hours of 10pm to 4am. The PC monitor should be the only source of light in the room, and there needs to be some form of trance music playing in the background. Personally I hate trance/dance music, but for some reason it gives me tunnel vision on my work.
Sun = Poorly run company with great products
Oracle = Masterfully run company with shitty products
I wonder how that DNA is going to come together...
I think it depends on which name becomes the new internet jargon for the company.

'These imbeciles enjoy spreading false news,' Bertalaso was quoted as saying. 'Everyone knows that you can't predict the release of Duke Nukem Forever.'
Huh? They already predicted the release of DNF... "when it's done".:)
What you probably meant is the other carriers (Vodafone, 3, Optus etc) don't have 3G coverage in some heavily populated areas. Which is true. But it's not true to say there's no 3G service at all.
Yes that is pretty much what I meant. Thanks for clarifying.
I can't use Amarok well because it's KDE [it sorta works but not completely], there isn't as good of one for Ubuntu [trying out Songbird right now];
You mean Gnome. Ubuntu is the distribution, not the window manager.
But yes, having to choose applications based on your preference of window manager is rather silly.
Hey If, your usig ubuntu just cahnge the sound preferences to make sure everything's using alsa.
I think the parent is trying to make the point that you shouldn't HAVE to. I don't remember having to go into a program in Windows and choose the "let other programs use my sound card at the same time please" option.
I'm no brain surgeon, but I find it hard to believe that neurons would have a clean cut "on" and "off" state.
Also, 0 and 1 are abstractions for base-2 mathematics. In most electronic situations, it would be a state of low or high voltage.
Sheer luxury mate. I work in a hole in the road, it's a twenty mile commute on foot in the dark and thirty back. My father fed me stone cold poison and killed me every morning before work.
But can ye get the lads to believe you these days? Noooooo.....
We were evicted from our hole. We had to live in a shoebox in the middle of the road. Every morning we'd lick the road clean with our tongues, drink a half cup of hydrochloric acid, and our father would slice us in two with a bread knife and sing glory hallelujah.
Am I the only one that is amazed that we as a species are watching events happen that are far, far outside our galaxy?
And yet our galaxy is only a miniscule fraction of the observable universe, which is also a miniscule fraction of the theoretical "entire" universe (the shape of which is still heavily debated).
To quote Douglas Adams:
The simple truth is that interstellar distances will not fit into the human imagination.
No. I have 8 GB and I struggle to fill 3 GB of that. I'm sure there are people out there doing high res graphics that need a lot, but 192 GB is just ridiculous.

You decide!
The pig go. No quack.

CPIP? (Carrier Pigeon Internet Protocol)
Huge bandwidth, massive latency.
Just to be different, I run: Linux, Lighttpd, Sqlite, Kepler
If Microsoft doesn't build such devices itself, 'somebody else will, so it's really important to patent the idea now,'
There, fixed that for you, Microsoft.
Well... technically (in terms of pixels), 512x384 is 4x the resolution of 256x192.

And yet many of the heavily populated areas of Australia don't even have 3G.

Your neurons are also working in 1's & 0's.

AN angry mob can flip a car, break windows, flatten tires.
And of course Google now have photos of the culprits and can press charges for destruction of property.
Contrast sensitivity is pretty important. Ask any Vietnam vet. Ask any microbiologist. Ask anyone trying to play Doom 3...
I wonder how the Vietnam vets went about using flashlights. Did they put their guns away every time they wanted to use one?

It's simple, the backups are compressed -- they simply remove all those useless zeroes from the binary data.
Compressed with XML! Because XML makes everything better... right?
Right?
I am ready to do the same here, if our government keeps heading in the direction its going.
Which country? 'cos I'm starting to think that way here in Australia... :)
Internet filter my arse.
So when you shoot that BFG...does your whole iPhone reset....or just melt?
No, but MechaHitler will destroy your enemies for you.
...the equivalent of 200,000 neurons linked up by 50 million synaptic connections
So... already more sophisticated than Steve Ballmer?
- More likely, Valve got in financial trouble and gets acquired. I know google was thinking about it once.
Both Valve and Google have officially stated that was nothing more than a rumour.
