Are you sure they send SMS? Short Message Service is used to send just plain text, while MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) is used to send images as well as music and other nice stuff. I'm not sure you can compose a bar code with an SMS message!
Here in Italy on eBay they're selling a Nintendo DS that will be signed and delivered personally by Eva Henger (formerly a pornstar) including a copy of Nintendogs.. guess what will be the final price..
If you have 2000 songs and 40 of them are from the same artist, there is always a 2% chance of hearing them next with random play. So right after one of their songs finishes, odds almost guarantee they will be played again within the next 50 songs and show a 50% chance they will play again within the next 25 songs. It's simply the mind's tendency to find a pattern that makes you think iTunes has a preference.
A way to calculate the odds that 2% will be played in the next 50 songs doesn't work 50* (2/100) = 100% as the author does, and neither 25*(2*100) = 50% is correct.
The correct calculations are: 1-(98/100)^50 = 63% and 1-(98/100)^25 = 39%. This way you calculate the odds a song will be played at least once in the next 50 or 25 songs.
If you want to calculate the odds the song will be played exactly once in the next 50 or 25 songs:
Isn't all this "easy-changing name" thing in the opensource world a bit confusing for the average user? I think it's a bad idea to change name so easily, like Mozilla did (Firebird, Firefox..)
What about posting some genuine news today? And now even an iCopulate banner on the top! Anyway I've never seen an Apple product released and publicized on Slashdot before Apple.com itself. Need some good jokes here, wops midnight here..
Talking about the hardware, Macs are what everyone would desire from a computer (especially laptops). Instant start up with "Sleep" function , battery that lasts at least 3 hours, a really good warranty, latest technology available (firewire, bt, 11g, etc.), and the list goes on..
and then there is the software part: Mac Os X is great both for hackers and for novice users, that is to say that you don't need to spend time to learn how to do "desktop stuff" and you can concentrate on the "dirt work".
Ok, English is quite easy, the developers who write MS Word are all English (American) speaking, so that grammar check works best in English. Look at Italian grammar check. Everyone I know just disactivate it, as it is really useless, I mean, Italian is more complex, thus writing a good grammar check program would require a better effort than MS did. I wonder how the japanese version does work..
I think Knoppix goes the way distros should go: no time to install it, almost no time to configure it and especially it is easy to use, providing cutting edge technologies (e.g. NDISwrapper, WLAN conf..)
IMHO Knoppix has many more uses yet not known, use your imagination;-)
If you think about it Apple recently dropped the prices of their computers a bit. iBook is again under 1K$, iPod-mini and iPod-Shuffle are quite cheap and very trendy, and finally a really low cost Mac: the Mac Mini IMHO is one of the best ideas to get more and more people to switch. I think iBook and Mac Mini really mean that Apple got what Average Joe wants from a home computer, that is to say ease-of-use and low maintenance cost. Ok, we can't compare 2.5 GHz G5 proc with a 1.25 GHz G4, but does your mom need all that power to read her mail or write a Word doc?
Me myself I have an iBook, and I couldn't be happier, as it does what I want the way I want. It doesn't really matter if I can't compile a Linux kernel in 2 minutes as long as the battery lasts 4 hours.:) Think different!
Could Steve Jobs slap you with a large iTrout..

.. this hack is neither stylish nor functional, you can't really be a Mac user.. shame on your iPod!
What if the password would be used to get cash from bank machines? In those cases the password is very short and it would be easy for a thief to get you to tell him the code in order to steal you money, or suppose you would be stupid enough to keep that code inside your wallet with the card.
This is a great idea IMO, a link between psychoanalysis and tech, really interesting!
Actually here in Italy we use some of those latin phrases quite commonly. May be looking on Google for Italian newspaper articles containing the most common latin sentences could prove my point.
It's easy to use and very fast! (I tried 0.4) but it lacked essential DE stuff. If they keep up the good work and more developers join the team, that could become a good xp looking-like DE.
294 GB? That's a pretty damn nice mostly donated setup for 1997. This was '97 right?
I think it was late 97 but more probably early 1998 instead. Pentium II was released in mid-1997, but IIRC just in 233 and 266 versions. 300 came along after a while.

Here it is Sabayon. Being italian I didn't even know it was italian.. LoL :D

I forgot, I used Bernoulli Distribution to do the maths, you can check it out here.

50 * (2/100) * ((98/100)^49) = 37% or 25 * (2/100) * ((98/100)^24) = 31%.
I guess that's all..

This LFS project has been around for years, shall I post that this new Debian distro has just been released? Come on guys..
I think those guys are really smart! Such intelligent people is rightly rewarded by luck.
What if your company is named LOL?
