Windows XP is the world's de facto standard for O.S. Not Vista. How come users in sweden can access the internet but those with Vista don't?
The answer here is that Microsoft probably took the decision to break the TCP standard on purpose, hoping the admins would work around the bug er... new standard.
Personally I applaud the decision of the sweden admins. Microsoft must not be allowed to gain control of the market by breaking even more standards.
One of the downsides of sci journals is that they own the text. So you can't publish it on a journal and then publish it on slashdot.
HOWEVER... you can make TWO versions: One as in a technical report, but with less scientific level. You post that on a public site. Then make a journal-ready version and submit it to the sci journals.
If you want to download movies, do it. Unless the MAFIAA starts giving you decent prices, you're not morally obligated to pay their stratospheric fees.
I support civil disobedience. Just encrypt your stuff (hint: WASTE P2P) and do it at your own risk.
One of the things I really hate are links to a page where you have to click a link and browse around to find the content (I couldn't). Your link got me straight to the content, and I didn't have to disable adblock!
Werren and Clark are now looking further into the huge insert found in the fruitfly, and whether it is providing a benefit. "The chance that a chunk of DNA of this magnitude is totally neutral, I think, is pretty small, so the implication is that it has imparted of some selective advantage to the host," says Werren. "The question is, are these foreign genes providing new functions for the host? This is something we need to figure out."
I wonder if this has already happened to humans through generations. In fact, I wonder if this is a standard working component of evolution, where bacteria are a catalyst. It seems that nature always gives us nice surprises to keep us in awe and realizing we don't know anything about biology.
(As a side note, I was suddenly reminded of the Metroid Fusion game, where Samus absorbs the X cores' DNA and incorporates them into her system)
Yes, but it's part of a virus' nature to insert its DNA into the host. THat's how they work. This is a BACTERIAL genome. Bacteria don't just mix themselves into the hosts.
This Microsoft + Google alliance reminds me of that episode of He-man, where He-man and Skeletor have to join forces to save Eternia from this interdimensional monster - or when the guys from Dungeons n Dragons have to help Venger defeat Tiamat.
This is getting sooo interesting! *grabs some popcorn and enjoys the show*
In the 60's, Richard Feynman evaluated science education in Brazil and concluded that science wasn't actually taught - just memorized. I wonder if the UK is going the same way...
of the following answers, which one is the answer to the following equation?....
a) #1 only. b) #2 only. c) both #1 and #2. d) None of the above.
That'd make them study.
But seriously, one of the worst things in school are automated exams. Unless of course they're evaluated by Artificial Intelligence machines capable of understanding human language (yeah right).
How often does ram change? How long will be the log? Is there any operating system that can implement this?
Just think about it. Let's suppose you have to take RAM snapshots every 30 minutes. For a single day you have to keep around, 4gigs * 2 * 24 = 96 gigs per day. It's an enormous amount of data to store in a hard drive. And now they have to put in lots of money JUST to comply with a stupid law?

That thing almost looks alive. After seeing it, it reminded me of the nurses in Brookhaven Hospital trying to move. Eew.

Thank you.
O.o Why didn't they choose the new NanoITX or PicoITX? You could double or triple the CPU's per box.
I have one thing to complain. While you have to click to play a video you already clicked, the annoying web adds do play instantly! :-S
The world isn't fair...

and that Microsoft partners aren't allowed to vote again - at least in Sweden.

Philadelphia now has Earthlink Wireless throughout large portions of the city.
I got curious. Is this Wireless internet behind a NAT? Does it support IPv6?
...but why would God need a starship?
Isn't it obvious? The stargate got broken, duh!
I actually had a visceral reaction to that mental image and now my morning coffee just doesn't taste as sweet.
Lucky you! I just pictured him as Braveheart!
For corrupt practices. Or at least, ban them from this vote in particular.
It's about security: if you're not downloading the patches direct from Microsoft, there's more of a chance of them being compromised.
As opposed to not downloading the patches at all because you don't meet WGA requirements?
We need to see how companies can hold up during a zombie infestation.
But, don't we already have zombies in the Customer Support lines?
Well, what really happened is that Bill and Ted took the payphone away, AND the time, too!
It's just that my code's compiling.

You're right! Make TRICKY questions!

Guessing around isn't going to be very helpful when they suddenly find themselves in real world problems! hah!
Innovate people, innovate.
GASP! Mr. Ballmer, he sss-s-said the forbidden word! *faints*
I'd love to see Tux vs. Ballmer on MTV.

Give me a break.
