"For example, how do you implement security patches and operating-system upgrades (much more frequent in Linux than in proprietary systems from Microsoft or Sun)"
"We're entering an age of acceleration. The models underlying society at every level, which are largely based on a linear model of change, are going to have to be redefined. Because of the explosive power of exponential growth, the 21st century will be equivalent to 20,000 years of progress at today's rate of progress; organizations have to be able to redefine themselves at a faster and faster pace."
Somehow this posts reminds me of a certain ST:TNG episode:
Picard> Engage!
Unkown cadet that will probably not survive this season> What heading, Sir?
Picard> - points towards space-
That way!:D
[quote] Inertial damperners aren't exactly that hard to build. Consider that the inertial force is proportional to both mass and acceleration, the only thing you would need to acomplish is reducing mass to near zero. I'll leave that as an exercice for the reader.[/quote]
My attempt to find a solution:
You say it's important to reduce mass to near zero. Soo.. what about ditching the pilot?

Heck, If it comes with a cool screensaver and can help find TERREStrial intelligence, I'm in. ;)

Sustained, thank you :)
Oh yes.. "Use the Source" :lol:
In that way we hopefully can make some really good predictions for the decades to come.
Note: no, I'm not related to this project in any way. It is just a very good cause!
In Soviet Rusia, comrads need to gyroscope. They have wodka
Samba unleashed.. Samba in a nutshell.. hmm.. combined with a few of those pictures I do see a new market here :D
So what is new here? ;)
"Ooh, Curves! Can I touch?"
;-P
Get in line! I think you're not the only one here who wants to do just that!
It gets really scary when *you* are the driver in this case ;)
"racing gas down here in Texas can run $4-5/gallon."
:(
That's the price for normal fuel in Europe
Now if they would only do something about that IRQ system. To quote Clint Eastwood: "It sure is limited!"
HRSMILF ?
Boss?
Surely you mean the Master Control Program!
Combine WiFi hotspots + DHCP log and match them (just like spam) against a blacklist of stolen material.
Format C:
echo "pwned"
(this is all the time I'd like to 'invest' in claims like these)
RORSAT set us up the bomb :(
I never thought I'd ever see a woman post dating tips on Slashdot! :D
Seriously:
"8. Pay attention to our non-verbal signals. Women average about 150 non-verbal signals every minute. "
I'd like to hear more about this! :)
"Go browsing through a department store 45 minutes before it closes"
Now that is an awesome advice!
This is exactly what Ray Krutzweil describes right here:

Faschinating reads can be found on this website!
Oh, I got carried away a bit... but we are building a case against weapons of mass destruction like DDOS attacks ;)
Oh..that explains this recent news: Methane found on Mars
I'm telling you: "They're building a case for Mars!" :S
Looks like we can safely send some humans that way. I mean.. they do have fuel to get home now, don't they? ;)

How they squeezed video out of that Squeezebox.
;)
Guess it's all in the name
