youre describing a catch 22 now. until more research is done and the mode of transportation is more widely used, its going to be too expensive for people to want to use it. plus the whole sound issue on the side.
IMO this is another example of wasted fuel. supersonic flight is so incredibly wasteful. its proponents are the same people who would like to drive a H2 alone with no cargo. it just doesnt make economic sense.
step one) download the file step two) extract the junk step three) look at the extracted file size
my computers too crappy to run the exe, but a quick check says the executable really is ~96k. _maybe_ that extracts into another one, but i think its my lack of dx9 that caused a crash instantly.
wow, its slower than C. i'd rather run a random java app than a random native app because you can easily sandbox it and know its not going to screw your computer. thats one less barrier to people helping the dude out. and theres no recompile for the various linux platforms, win32, solaris, macOS, etc etc. its certainly slower, but more friendly to the community.
with 200 tons of downward force, im sure they will crush a few sea snails with their power snails. sort of a gamble in that respect, which is worse, burning the oil or killing the snails for 5MW of power
vorbis vs. mp3 is an issue that can usually be solved in software, and there are hardware decoding solutions out there. vhs vs. beta was about hardware, which means you have to buy a new physical thing. adding vorbis support is simple in software products, and simple in hardware players. you dont even need floating point support. the complaint is that with minimal effort a free open standard could be supported.
this product sort of supports ogg vorbis, but certainly not on the same level as it does mp3. making the "server" decode it and send PCM is way more overhead than just streaming the file. its more computation for the server and its more bandwidth usage.
well, that settles it. nearly everyone using linux will have parrot (once its out) for perl6. and now, we'll be using mono for the strong typed languages. unless java becomes free (not beer) it wont end up on distros and wont end up on joe users computer when linux pwnz the desktop. computers are fast enough to use perl and python for pretty heavy tasks, and i think thats going to be the easy way to make desktop apps in the near future, unless mono kicks more ass than i think it does (and i hope it does)
woulndt it also help to start using their stuff again when they drop SCO? unless they see that dropping sco will get customers back, why risk the ones you still have?
despite being completely against the spirit of the law, doesnt copyright refer to exact copies? i mean, if some awesome cover bands did great covers and made them free, there would be no problem. an mp3 is a lossy copy, and even in its uncompressed state is by no means an exact copy. say i copyright "the blah did blah" and someone prints "the bla did bla", is that copyright infringement? assume a more reasonable example
for things like game consoles, the real important part is that its very inconvenient to make a copy that is still on the same media. gamecube sort of did this with their mini-dvd format i believe.

sorry, but i read your sig and it didnt register for a while that you really werent modded that.
i got an interesting dll loading error on winXP SP1.
it involved some long proc name in a dll and gaim.dll gave error 127. anybody know whats up?

boot a bunch of laptops off it and have a more homogenous cluster.

*yawn* The same old discussion, with no implementation in site.
you dont need proper grammar when punning it up
if you want a desktop replacement, yeah, they arent where its at, but they are cool enough to have on your lap and have good battery life
you say lower speed like it sucks. the Pentium M chips are quite a bit sweeter (IMO) other chips from either intel or amd.
they divided your time by the cost of your machine.
its impressive when you build a mega$ robot, but a minimal robot that manages to finish is way cooler
with 16 petabytes at the top end of 64bit addressing, i'd say theres plenty of room left to have virtual memory

"We're not in the double digits yet for upselling people to the full suite, but we are making progress," he said.
not in double digits? that maxes out at 9
sure, it used to be a player, but now its not free and its not ms fp?

assuming yahoo steals the show and becomes the more used search engine, what will happen to the verb google?

correct me, SunOS 5.8
sure, some people are running solaris 8 still, by the cs dept here is running five .8
