its because its a beta. And they want to make sure no poor newbies get nuked systems when they try it. I'm sure thats it. I'd put monopoly money on it.
Presumably you know about matter-antimatter annihilation, well, its that in reverse. However, the particles only last for an extremely small time. The only effect is that it limits the purity of vacuum.
It's been shown by measuring the force between two plates that are too close together for these particles to form between. They still form on the outside, and produce sufficent pressure to give a measurable force.
Additionally increasing the clock gives the charge carriers less time to move, if it cant make a difference to the far side of the active region of the semiconductor, it isnt working. Increasing the voltage increases the electron drift velocity. Increase it too much and theres a chance of electrolysing your chip;)
You also dont want to reduce the temperature too far or kT will drop to below the bandgap, turning the semiconductor into an insulator.
The best way of increasing speed is to reduce the size of the active layer, but soon we'll start getting quantum effects, which in current designs, are unwanted.
That OpenGL isnt just for games. It wasnt even designed for that. One of the first things I thought of for this was a VRML browser. I'm sure you can think of other utils.
Just because MS have demoted GL to screensavers only doesnt mean you have to!
I've used linux bootdisks to repair damaged FAT partitions, or in a worse case scenario to retrieve at least *some* data from the hard drive. In the old days I'd have a floppy with norton diskedit on it, but with the extensions to fat all my old dos rescue disks are obselete, and any replacements are annoyingly oversized.
I got burnt after a 2.1 series kernel that scrambled a filesystem with my mp3s on. Recovered most of em, but some of em got mixed up, so I got about 10secs of each mp3 in the directory...
I was just saying that because I know someone who got a turntable and was going around saying "its really shitty, i dont know why i bothered" until i plugged it into my amp:)
CD is generally better, but there's something about a slowly spinning disk:)
Either make sure that your amp has a *proper* phono input or that the table has filtered output, otherwise you'll get uncompensated phono output which sounds 'thin'.
Until you get down to about 10^-7m you can consider everything analogue. Memories have a continually varying number of electrons held in a capacitor. Its the thresholding of the charge that defines a 0 or a 1.
You can do the same with holograms, "if the reflected intensity is >0.7 (relative intensity) its a 1, if its.3 its a 0".
From a users standpoint I would far rather have OpenLook, it was quick and looked nice. I remember using a Sun with openwindows back in '93(or thereabouts, long time ago:) and once I got around the 'right click' bit of the menu usage I loved it.
I used OLVWM a lot in slackware 2, then slowly became disenchanted with it due to lack of apps that fitted in. I slid into an anarchic desktop running bowman and some athena based file manager, with XV for images. Now, with gnome and sawmill, my desktop is approaching the consistancy I loved on that old sunstation...
I think they cut these features because they wanted to abstract the toolkit as much as possible from the display. Lets face it, X isn't going to be around forever (It just seems that long:) and being able to port things to cygwin fairly simply is *nice*.
I very rarely use xresources, so I dont really miss them.
My main gripe with GTK is the options, theres so many of them! run gtkapp --help and you get loads of scroll with all sorts of options that apply to all gtk apps (--geometry, --display etc)
I expect you could make a 'sonic black hole' using the same idea as this one, but the trouble is that this method doesnt seem to SUCK the light in like a gravitational black hole does. It has to hit part of the vortex to be captured.

LionMan's right, we have one of the most powerful university computers in the UK, and it just outputs text from its calculations.
:)
Eyecandy isnt important while you're analysing your data.
You plot the graphs later
I read the main body text, then wondered why /. had mentioned an EULA. So I looked for it. Now I'm bound by it dammit!
It would have been his fault for making it look like a banner ad...

is this from your referral log?= PASSWORD&unickname=NICKNAME
something like: http://slashdot.org/index.pl?op=userlogin&upasswd
If so, it does say that this method of logging in is *very* insecure.
maybe if they ganged up they could, uh, never mind.
infinite energy rocks more :)
Dont mention complex energy.
But its not terribly useful.

tried getting some socks wrapper libs?
I use dante's socksify libraries/script.

look at debian/rules .debs instead.
its like a makefile, but it builds
Combined with an RPM spec file you can integrate most source with any package system happily

Yeh, thats the 1st thing I thought. It would be an excellent idea, make a nanotech turtle.
Or maybe one that could understand postscript would be neater...
Every day we get a new beta :)
(pity apt isnt installable atm, but thats what freezes are for, isnt it)
* Yarn pokes mirror.ac.uk and decides to check if it has the required packages now

it currently seems to have more in common with the B5 data crystal things. imo of course :)
Aye, its got pretty bad, as for trolling, I cant be bothered. I'll just go on saying what I think. I wont just disappear like I did on usenet.
:)
(The fact I lost my ability to connect to a news server may have contributed to my dumping of usenet
Dont ya know, when you get moderator status, it comes with free mind altering drugs.
How else could moderators survive the petrified-portman-grits posts?
I browse at -1, and read almost everything. Moderation is pretty irrelevant to me.

There is i18n for gnome, but not for GTK itself.
If only :)

I still only have 5Gigs of storage. Shared over 3OS's on 2 computers.
1.4Gigs of its MP3s too.
