http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/solarsystem/ second_moon_991029.html mentions a second moon around Earth. Now: if Earth is capable of having two satellites VERY different in size and orbit, and yet they're both called moons, should for all clarity the word 'moon' not be abandoned and replaced by satellite? And call our major moon... well.. 'Moon'? Just my two euro-cents.
You and your church are seriously trying to help people here, VERY good. And I also saw some people suggesting you bring fire-arms. What's next: links to 'The National Survivalists'? People are in need there. Disasters have happened. People got killed. The environment is hostile, the weather exhausting, and it's clear that you are no pro's. My suggestion: gather what you think people need down there, send it off and let everything there be taken care of by professionals. The folks that did things like this in third world countries for instance. Them with experience. And you guys: stay out, do not get in the way or trouble.
Don't you get it? Within 3 month they'll have a rev. B (higher cap., NON-scratch surface and lan-yard option). Step 1: offer a $35 discount to all people complaining about the rev. A! Step 2: be guaranteed to sell another shitload of nano's! Step 3: PROFIT!! AGAIN!! though slightly less than before, but people with a rev. A are nearly OBLIGED to take the rebate on the rev. B, by buying the rev. B, otherwise they REALLY did make a bad deal by only buying the rev. A.
PLUS they've shown how good their great intentions are etc., very big PR thing. Customers happy etc etc. Yeah I worked for them for a few years, they ARE good!
Not quite correct (in the Netherlands that is). Whether I own one or ten tv-sets, I only pay ONCE (it's embedded in our taxes, to hide the amount). It's the distribution of the signal that I pay for. TV Studios get money out of memberships, commercials and some subsidy. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
And Smalltalk (Xerox) was a rippoff from Sketchpad (1963) and Simula-67 (60's). By the by: whenever Apple and Xerox (founded 1971) are mentioned in one sentence, it doesn't imply 'theft'. And 'columns' were already widely used in eerm.. newspapers etcetera. Tabbed browsing for instance also existed before the computer was invented. Apple shoved column view in a mainstream OS user environment, you cóuld've read that between the lines.
The Mac OS X GUI is great once you stop thinking in classic Mac terms and start thinking in NeXT terms. You also have to ditch list and icon views of your folders -- column view is the only way to fly.
Column view was planned to be implemented BEFORE NeXT in the classic MacOS, Jobs took it with him to NeXT. They never implemented in the classic MacOS, it was deemed too complex for the original Mac. Column view exists since May 1980! David Pogue has nice screenshots on page 46 'Mac OS X second edition: the missing manual'. Good book by the way.
Nice idea to run KDE on MacOSX, A lot of people might think it redundant but it's alway nice to have alternatives.
Why are so many Slashdotters anti-technology?
Because they are the ones that know how overrated it is by the masses?
There are 2 ways to control internet access: (1)have 1 librarian for every 2 internetters to monitor what they surf*, or (2)permit only access to the bbc-website.
*probably concerned parents will love to volunteer for this task! Or would they have anything better to do that watch their kids? Yet be the first to point fingers when someone else doesn't do what they should've done?
I cannot agree with you more.
"The act of investigating information online by following links more or less at random. Many users of the Web find themselves spending time simply following one interesting link after another, never knowing quite where they will end up. It can be a useful research technique, and is usually quite entertaining, as well." definition from http://www.webtec.uk.com/Glossary/body_glossary.ht ml
Nine out of ten times, the link I searched for was in the first 3 or 4 result-pages, I never cared about the remaining thousand results. The only results that count are the ones that display what I need. I look for quality in a search engine, quantity comes second, speed third. Yahoo may search twice as many pages, the result-quality never convinced me to switch from Google. My 2 -cents
BUT Rosetta ought to be able to take care of that, and since PPC will still be a operational platform for the Mac for 3 years, maybe more, it's not thát desastrous. I'll miss them though, good ole Codewarrior.
You should learn about.NET 2.0, Avalon and XAML. Windows Vista is a big deal: Avalon has much better compositing than Quartz.(more of the same).NET 2.0 and ClickOnce let you deploy.NET applications with the same ease as creating web apps.
That doesn't count loads of other features, like the explorer, IE 7, a ton of security features, better search, better web services through Indigo (try doing web services with PHP now - I've done it, and it's such a pain that it's not really worth it. Microsoft nailed web services in 2002, and the new stuff is even better!).
Sir, you compare OLD Apple-technology to FUTURE MS-technology. IMHO that is unfair.
>>2. digital clock on laptops. I'd love to have an external LCD display showing the time, even when the machine's not on. hell, that'd even be useful on a desktop machine.
Good you're mentioning this: one thing that annoys me in mobile phones is the clock. You have a digital clock in your phone, that every hour or so connects to the network to find out where it is. Right? IS IT SO MUCH TROUBLE TO SYNC THE CLOCK WITH A NETWORK TIME SERVER?! Now, as long as that is not happening, I don't see a powerbook with an extra clock.
"ST. PETERSBURG - Richard Dinon saw the laptop's muted glow through the rear window of the SUV parked outside his home. He walked closer and noticed a man inside.
Then the man noticed Dinon and snapped his computer shut.
Maybe it's census work, the 28-year-old veterinarian told his girlfriend. An hour later, Dinon left to drive her home. The Chevy Blazer was still there, the man furtively hunched over his computer.
Dinon returned at 11 p.m. and the men repeated their strange dance."
IMO the laptopper DID know he was doing something wrong. It's not that the laptopper had a machine at home, which he used for a wireless stroll around: he was in his car and remained there for HOURS. I'm interested in the follow-up.
My children are trained to respond the best possible way: lying like their life depends on it! "Gee mom, nice hair! You look good today!" and all was peacefull and quiet in the house:-)
Naked... well, naked walking around wasn't that odd as it is now, and the climat allows it. But it is good to have a article that seems to please the broad spectrum of/.-ers.
Especially when the document turns out to contain UNIX source code;-)
Cheers mate, thanks for the direct link, it seems like the whole thingy has been slashdotted into vapour. But let's play it fair: give'm some emailaddresses so at least they have somewhere to mail their possible spam to.
Time to get reading now, I guess.
Our school ordered dozens of new tables. This aprticular site was renewed, so new furniture was ordered. Enfin it was the fourth time they (the manufacturer) told the furniture would show up at around 11:00 a clock. (the former 3 times just, well, they did not perform) At 11.30 a truck arrived, two people jumped out, shouted simultanously "Lunch!" and disappeared for 1,5 hrs. Then they came back and started assembling the tables. To discover at 14.00 they only had half the parts they needed, 'yuk yuk gosh silly innit'. I rang my boss, he rang his, another was rung and viola the promise came down back to me that the missing parts were to be delivered asap by highspeedcourier. I still thought it was a joke... Remember it was Friday, last day of the week, beautifull weather... That afternoon I swore like a christian... April Fools? Not for me, no more. Next time I shall quit my job.
Definitions of art: http://www.google.nl/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q= define%3Aart That's a lot of definitions.

First: you're comparing a 20 yrs old machine with 486 and Pentiums, and wander why it's slower.
Second: it does not run windows. Some call that an advantage.
Third: have a look at your sig, it's like a microwave-dealer that advertises like "Buy a microwave and get the second fire extinguisher for free!" (I won't repeat the link, it's not that good).
First things that came to mind, sorry for those that I should have included but forgot or simply did not know. I don't own an Apple I by the way. But if you have a hobby like building model planes, would you build a nice, shiny brand model, like a classic Boeing, or an anonymous former CCCP-brand klone, like the Gravitov XIIV?
The TV-license is now non-existent, everybody just pays more taxes. Aaaand nobody has been able to figure out how much more taxes are paid in exchange for the license fees. *shrugs* Whether you pay with the left hand, or the right hand: it does not make a real difference, I guess.
Slashdot Mirror
Point is: the word 'moon' should be abandoned, or only applied to Earth. 'Satellite' is sufficient for the other major orbital things.
Thát's what I meant to say.

Yes, and Apple ripped it off from Smalltalk.
And Smalltalk (Xerox) was a rippoff from Sketchpad (1963) and Simula-67 (60's).
