having a single blind test, in which the people going into it are absolutely convinced that reality says that if something goes wrong, nobody can save them.
Ahhh.. that's actually possible, just send those volunteers in for a couple of days, then violently shake the facility, maybe some sparks and whatno, and inform them that the entrance's jammed tight, and "we are working on it" for the next 500 days:)
Since volunteers is allowed to quit the experiment if they develop a severe ailment or psychological stress, most likely they won't try hard enough to survive the journey.
However in real life-and-death situation, people tend to do amazing things just to stay alive.
Actually his analogy can be quite true, well, not true about what he has claimed, but the way the whole software industry is working FOR the patents/copyrights/trademarks rather than channeling the resources into something more useful, like Practical Properties?
Hopefully we will start to see more challenges against this kind of legislation. Like the old saying - you gave him an inch, he will ask for a foot, it does apply to both ways though.
It's also lucky that the PA didn't give FBI the power to ignore unfavorable rulings:) or did it?
It might be easy for a company to employ a team of "Linux" guys and get the migration over and done with, but it is the employees who are using the system every day.
In my (Windows) company, it's easy to tell an employee to download a patch or open a file, because they knew how to do by default, 90% of "computer people" in the company comes from a Windows background, so while working on a computer, they do things the Windows way.
If you have a Linux system, they will still try to do it the Windows way, and that's where the support/troubleshooting costs still to add up.
One of the risks to deal with companies switching from Windows to Linux is their perception on how a system should work.
A boss who's been using Windows since 3.1 will find Linux totally insane to work on because her expectation is an easy friendly GUI that does everything (goods and bads) for you.
That's probably one of the reasons why MS is giving away so many freebies to schools and universities.
Slashdot says the park is tagging everybody, but the article says it's issuing tags to everyone. So is the park really 'tagging' everyone as they enter? Like what happens to cows?
Anyway, unless it's mandatory, it should be okay. It's pretty close to being watched by CC cameras when you wonder around a department store.
It seems we have a couple of big names which run into the so-called 'should-have-known' trademark cases.
This is one, and I believe the reason why these two Apples can co-exist for so long is the very agreement which states they don't touch each other's business, which is the main concept of a trademark, ie allowing businesses to operate under same marks in different trades.
Let's not forget how Google forgot a simple check on its gmail or Froggle.
Personally, I believe the most effective way to deter theft is the human technology. If your neighborhood is suffering from increased criminal activities, I am sure you're not alone.
So get together and patrol the streets together.
Nowadays thieves ain't that scared of high-tech security devices anymore, they will always find a way to get around them, but it's just that much more difficult to get around 2 or 3 pairs of watchful eyes at night.
Slashdot Mirror
Maybe they don't want mass public participation in a particular political discussion?
Websites don't usually allow active discussion on a certain topic, but blogs are encouraging that.
When we told him, his reply was, "Go? I thought that was a card game."
I had a similar experience except that guy said "Go? I thought that was the monkey from outerspace."
Maybe MS thinks they can't really argue processor = core. Well, actually they can if they wanted to.
But more seriously, is it a sign that MS has more benefits from this arrangement?

Polyakov told Interfax reporters that the 500 Days experiment will not include female volunteers.
:)
Geezz I wonder why. And they'll probably get a similar result just by looking into any male-only student flat
Will this be a true test of human survial though?

The price will probably go up sharply because investors suddenly realized there are people using PayPal.
Of course, if the price drops tomorrow, it's probably the best time to buy in, since this is obviously a temporary glitch.

When you enter an incorrect syntax, it picks up the error, points out the error's location and possibly even suggests a correct syntax.

The shop should have OGG and FLAC tracks, as well as MP3.
Users can choose to pay per-song or per-month.
User can also have the option to purchase hard-copy as well (like the actual album, or even band merchandise).
The shop also ofeers song samples be it a 30-second downloads or full-song streams fed on-demand.

At this rate, we'll see gindow.com registered by google.com in no time.

While the IT job market has shrunk by close to 20%, how does the industry do? Was profit/revenue etc down by similar margin as well?
Most inside cabins in cruise ships have fake windows, i.e. a picture that looks like a window that looks like you're looking at the sea.
So this "invention" might be a good way to relay actual sea views in those cabins.
What's the difference between this and Build Your Own LCD Picture Frame
So if you want to look out the windows to see the real world (occassionaly), you just need to hook up a webcam and connect it to the LCD?

Wait until they made one that can walk on lava, it'll be really useful for some scientific research in volcanos.
If I were you, I would find out what distro is acceptable to your Boss, and move to that distro first.

And like others said before, once he's hooked, the rest is history
It's difficult enough as it is to convince PHB switching to Linux, and I wouldn't try jumping over two hurdles at once.
