to work with us to nominate someone whom Democrats can support and America can be proud of.
When looking for the best candidate shouldn't they be looking for the best person that America can be proud of. Sounds like they are as bad as the rest.
You're right, this really wouldn't be suitable for a DVR. Just look at the MythTV requirements. Usually if you're going to do best quality video recording you need at LEAST 1-1.5ghz if hardware encoding and 2ghz+ if you are doing it all in software. Granted the last time I tried this kind of thing I was using a Hauppauge WinTV (good linux support) but couldn't get the mpeg2 hardware encoding to work, and it chocked on my 1ghz machine.
That was regular video not HD, and was recording in mpeg and not some highly compressed format like divx or h.264.
So you can pick, low CPU bigger files less compression, or higher compression and higher CPU. Regardless I dont think 500mhz would cut it. Curious what Tivo uses, know it's PPC but nothing beyond that.
Didn't the viking probes reach Mars in the 70's/80's? I find it fascinating that we can still data mine and extract information from a probes dataset from 20-30 years ago. It would be interesting to see how much data (TB? EB?) that was recorded from the Viking mission.
Imagine what people might learn from data we're getting now from the two rovers on mars.
Hope they win it. Of all of the companies that seem to be in the position to make a bid, I think google will be the ones who will try and benefit the community instead of close it up and abuse it. It's our airwaves afterall, our appointed officials are just selling it on our behalf.
Personally I'd like to see it default to amateur radio.
While the 4 year teaching mandate doesn't sound too bad, especially if you had a free ride in college. I wonder if there are any other strings attached.
I grew up in WV, and they had a state grant (forget the name) but basically paid for tuition if you were eligible, which sounds great. But the stipulation was that you had to remain in the state at least 5 years after graduating. As you can guess WV has a hard time keeping people there, so here's the rub. There's NO JOBS. That's the reason people aren't staying, I even left and found a job making 4x what (if at all) I could have made back home with the same cost of living.
So while a free ride to college sounds nice, make sure to read the fine print. Anything that forces you into a specific job market (especially one that sucks) could hurts you in the long term.
Agree, at least in respect to what the article did. But down the road if they start doing research on creating custom DNA strands (in essense synthetic life) because it wouldn't be mapped to an identical natural strand. It can potentially be bad. This can also be very good. If they can create a custom made bacteria that attacks cancer cells, or whatever possible health benefits can be made is good. Just making the point they need to make sure they keep the research contained, especially if they start making non-naturally occurring DNA sequences.
Since this life can be synthetic, there's nothing in nature that is a natural antibiotic. So if there less benign aspects of the new bacteria, and it gets loose in the wild, it has potential to severely damage the ecosystem. Better to plan for the worse case scenario, but hope for the best.
It mentions 600-900mhz, is that per core or per total CPU? While 64 900mhz cores sounds nice, 900mhz made up of 64 14mhz cores is kinda pointless. That would be like cascading a bunch of PIC chips together, so I'm guessing it's the first. Also what kind of architecture is it? Are there spec manuals available to people can start porting gcc, libc, and eventually the linux kernel to it.
Seems interesting, would be nice if it comes out at an affordable price.
Can you use Netbeans/Eclipse/etc with languages other than Java?
I downloaded and checked them out briefly before, but it seemed like all of the good Gui IDE's for Linux were all geared toward Java. Would like something for C/C++.
for Java developers. What I'd really like to see is something like Project Builder/Xcode or Visual Studio for Linux. (Not that I like Visual Studio) but if you need to pound out a GUI it's pretty easy. There's a relatively large learning curve for developers wanting to do work for X. There is a myriad of libraries with their own widgets to choose from, languages, IDE's. It get's a bit confusing when you just want to sit down and code something, or add a GUI to an existing cli app.
Trolltech's suite so far has been the best one I've seen yet but has licensing issues. I've tried KDevelop and it's not that bad, but still not great. The ones I've seen for gnome have been even harder.
A good IDE for developing GUI applications, should help the developer a bit more with the GUI stuff and not make it mandatory that you know every call to every function of every widget for whatever library that package supports. If you knew that, might as well stick with Emacs/vi/nano and code it. Which it seems is how most development is done. (which isn't bad) but makes it harder for someone else starting out and wanting to give it a try.
Not to sound lame, but what is the Linux Foundation? I know gnu fosters development of a lot of software, sourceforge hosts a lot of projects, linus and the huge team does the kernel, Ubuntu/Redhat/Debian/Suse/etc take all of the software to make a distribution. I just dont see what the LF does for the community.
Not flaming, if they provide a good resource more power to them.
A lot of posts about "Novel should open source Unix then". Curious though now adays what *IS* Unix? Solaris? BSDi? Unixware? Sco's OS? 4.4BSD?
Thought Unix was just a term applied to a specific product, and that people could consider their systems "Unix" if they paid for that trademark.
For me I'm not really concerned since all that should matter is whether a system conforms to SysV, Posix, etc. Unix as a trademark neither betters or worsens an OS's abilities. It seems more like all of those OEM's who slap "Vista ready" on their machines.
Am I way off? No I'm not flaming, just don't understand the real importance of the term.
High gains potential. Their stock fluctuated and are pretty much penny stocks. IF you can ride the wave and act quickly, buy at $0.75 sell at $1.00. Since the price is so low you can get a TON of stocks. Risky, but some portfolios have some % set for risky investments in hopes of higher yield.
For example: you have $500, and buy 1 share of google stock at $450, it goes up to $475, you sell it - $10 commission you just made $15.
If you took that $500, and bought 665 shares of SCOX at 0.75 a share, then sold them at $1 - $10 commission you just made $156 on the same amount of money.
The rub is days like today when they completely drop and you can lose a lot of money, whereas stocks like google stay pretty much the same.
Note: I'm not an investor, just a guy who wanted to become a broker but became a software developer instead;)
No matter what companies buckle it won't break the stronghold that is OSS. We as users choose Linux and other OSS because it meets our needs, company deals won't break that. For developers we contribute to the OSS movement because it's something we believe in, and a way to pay back to for the wonderful work others have done.
My history teacher mentioned this before. Basically the problem isn't just getting people to the moon or mars,etc. To "own" it or claim it as your property it basically boils down to the concept that in order for you claim land as your own you have to have the ability to protect it.

I have rkhunter on all of my machines, sends a nice email letting me know of any changes in system files.

It would be nice to make a DnD universe and make it a MMORPG like WoW.

What use does Google plan to make of these frequencies? I can't imagine doing wifi of 700mhz.

As long as it helps drive down prices so we can all benefit from the competition. Game on!

It was an interesting time. But it just upped the bets. Know it's who can be the first to beat a Go dan level player.

Curious if it can take multi-core cpu's. Having a 3way system with dual core opteron's sounds really nice.
I don't see that ending any time soon.
Granted I asked them and this doesnt mean upload a couple terabytes, but I have easily hosted over 60gigs with no problems.
And that's for a full out web hosting solution. Note: I dont work there or anything, just a very happy customer.
Look at the history of Sealand, same concept.
