"amateurs performing at a professional level"...
Amateur is not some kind of insult - it means 'mindless passion'. 'Professional' OTOH, means about as much a 'free' (google for that one...) - it's personal marketing.
To me this says: Passionate individuals doing what they care about and doing it better than what NDAers always say they are doing. It's also a good idea for them to market themselves to a particular fields with the education and the 'real job', but if Torvalds worked for Inacom they would own linux.
selfless interest instead of selfish interest?
Remarkable - if you kill, kill, cheat, lust after somebodies hottie wife then there will be consequences. Someone writes a book and substitutes God for Society and *poof*,"Brilliance!".
It's so influential because it is a religion about:spread this religion or burn in hell.
This is absolutely retarded. With the voodoo sli you get to buy a new piece of hardware without throwing away your old card. This is more like, "Would you like to buy/half/ a video card?" - not that it's suprising or anything...
I'd hate to be the cosmonaut that ruins everything on day 400. It's not like there are millions of cosmonauts, some of them probably wanted to be in this project but were turned down, etc?
It would be even worse if they actually believed they might have a shot at an actual Mars mission in their lifetime.
I think the important thing to remember is that Nazis were just everyday ppl, not demons.. doing what their government told them to do. Just millions of 'good citizens'.

I have an 8088 AMD cpu around here somewhere.. Maybe intel helped them, maybe intel just needed another chipmaker to meet a spike in demand.
The only thing keeping AMD from making SX Opterons is Intel and vise versa - they're both big companies.
For some reason I thought there was a consensus that the 'google' was some arbitrarily large value and at some point somebody decided to define it as 1 followed by a hundred zeros....before google - the search engine; I always figured that was why they stretched out the o's like they do.

I was reading an article the other day, here's an excerpt about one of the highlighted projects:
Jerusalen, Bogota, Colombia
In 1985, a hydroponic project supported by the United Nations Development Project (UNDP) was established in Jerusalen, a community on the outskirts of Bogota, Columbia. Designed by Colombian mechanical engineer, Jorge Zapp, the project used hydroponic growers, made of small containers and discarded wood pallets, placed on rooftops, balconies, stairs, and any available space in the sun.
Participants in the project included 130 urban poor families, with 90% of the participants mothers and homemakers. The women earned as much as three times more than their husbands earned in semi-skilled jobs, and provided food from the families from overripe or less than perfect crops. They produced 30 types of vegetables in their hydroponic gardens.
The gardens were built of donated or recycled materials including rice bran from a mill, wooden crates from an auto parts shop and recycled polyethylene from commercial flower growers. The costs of setting up each square meter plot was less than $5.00.
Pallets were set flat on the roof and the top slats were removed. Plastic sheeting was placed inside and the rice bran was used as media. Hydroponic nutrients were supplied by the funding agency at a cost of about $9.00 per year, or about 2.4 cents a day.
Since I can get scraps on ebay, I picked up some lexan for what plexi would cost. Once I installed it as a window you couldn't tell it was 1/4" - it's totally thickless. I mentioned this to my brother and he described this huge (10 foot or so) block of lexan with text lazor etched in the center that could be easily read. I'm not sure technically, but it seems a lot more..transparent (or something) than glass.
Journalists need only write an article about opinions being passed as news so the audience can feel secure again. Like the recent crap with the old military guy verifying stuff about Bush, they were all about (there for a while) how much work goes into checking and double checking sources. LOL.
Of course they have a web of trust, and I'm sure it's great and all...:)
I've always had a couple of computers laying around and I've never made more than 10k in a year.
Even with the 386's, I had to make my own crossover cables for modems / back to back nics (It's not rocket science esp. for a 2 wire modem) for playing doom, moving files, etc.
I'm a nerd is why - it doesn't have anything to do with my income. I've always admired the Russians for hacking stuff and here you ppls are itemizing the cost of unnecessary hubs, etc with this lame thread...
Would you like to see my internet backbone?

How hard can it be to learn morse code anyway? I guess next electronics will be unnecessary as well.
Why don't they just create a different liscence for ppl that think it's for disc jockeys?

I hope they don't conserve the big mars grand canyon - I wanna put a roof over it and live underground.
...if only there was a way to run executables behind the scenes when you visit the blog so as not to overwhelm the average user.

I bet those theproduct.de guys could fit something like hl2 on a floppy.
Welcome to the patent cold war.
Esp. since spam is illegal, we'd end up voting the candidate Nigerians wanted in office. Wouldn't be able to use ebay anymore for all the .01 cd's....
Don't have to twist /their/ arm too much to get them to pull your drives.

He's talking about smuggling and stuff. Whenever I smuggle diamonds, I always have a few friends along with stashes of glass fakes.
I mean, right? lol.
It's just a cooler name, and since we run elf binaries... I just hate the name KDE, I hate it.
They have embedded XP!?

Sweet, a dedicated floppy server.
Why no shocks that use the resistance from a copper/magnet drag to recharge?

oh, does anybody suppose it is more translucent than air?
