Or what about the people that waste their days reading slashdot comments! And this is even less profitable then a lottery ticket, as no one ever got rich with that anyways! Hmm, come to think of it...
Also note that the linuxppc project seems to have died out as he retired from the project about a years after. There are apparently alternatives that work. So maybe it'll all work out one way or another, no matter what happens to the developer. Dammit, we're all dispensable, people!
(e.g., older DNA extracted from fossils tens of millions of years old contains roughly equal left and right amino acids, whereas living tissues contain all left ones, implying the DNA has been severely degraded)
Thank you for the very nice article(!), but I have to correct you here, there are no amino acids in DNA. What they mean in the article is that the degree of racemisation (the process of going from all left to mixed left-right) of amino acids originating from proteins in the cell, is an indication of the degree of damage to the cell in general. So if amino acid racemisation is present, they know that probably the DNA will be in a crappy state as well and they can skip the sample.
Thank you for pointing that out and giving me an amusing read. The last sentence is the best!
This discovery gives immensely powerful support to the proposition that dinosaur fossils are not millions of years old at all, but were mostly
fossilized under catastrophic conditions a few thousand years ago at most.
So there were no anachronisms in the flinstones, and everyone had a cute little baby as a pet. Strange though that none of the egyptians and romans or incas or whatever mentioned them. Or maybe dinosaurs were like fight club, you know, rule number one...
Are there also comfortable meetings? Didn't you ever have a meeting in a room with a very badly regulated temperature or other condition, and still there were people that managed to go on and on about the subject?
well, theo deraadt seemed clearly pissed indeed, but was also smart enough to realise that, and for a correct way to contact intel, he suggests the careful post written by another person that was done to TI as an example how to write to Intel.
For intranet applications you could force everyone to use the same browser, as they will need to go there anyway. Whereas for internet applications, your costumers might have any browser, and will just go somewhere else if they are displeased with your service. Still, this will put your application at the same user-friendliness as any IE-only web-based system bought from microsoft, so you'll be pissing at least part of your employees off like hell, you might also not want that.
If you were interested in my initial question anyway of course:) But a very clear answer, I had expected something like that on groklaw, but there was no description at all, a shame for those who don't follow it every day. I guess SCO actually did something unlawful by not giving the money that belongs to Novell, and I wonder how completely stupid you can be to do something like that. If you start a huge process to get your "lawful" rights for chunks of code to you, why make blunders like that? Probably the answer is just that all the people with any smarts already left SCO long ago.
I read in the comments of the page that such a motion is only granted if it is shown that it will not make SCO bankrupt. I'm not a lawyer, and I don't understand why these motions exist then? Why would Novell get money from SCO in the first place? What has the deal with microsoft and sun to do with novell?
It looks like there's a lot of internal energy in such a system, especially when there is something inside. Couldn't you do some neat energy tricks with this?
Sorry, didn't ment to start a flame here! I guess all CPU naming schemes pretty much suck nowadays, just the last time I checked there was AMD 64 and AMD Opteron, which was still pretty clear, it got worse in the mean time apparently. (And, indeed, before that time).
I myself own an oldskool Via C3, so I'm not too much into this issue anyways;) Come to think of it, the Via naming scheme might make sense maybe? At least they have a clarifying list:)
And a dynamo-operated torch, and canned soup and ravioli!
The point is, in Holland there are actually local stations designated to broadcast signals in an emergency, so you would actually know where to tune in. If there'd be some serious situation, probably the first place to see it will be teletext, then, if you tune in to the designated radio station, you'll listen to an 2-hour interview about some problem concerning bird droppings in a nearby village, instead of the thing that is actually going on:) More or less had this once, maybe it was not serious enough, but I really wonder when this will actually come in handy.
From personal experience, the most critical advice is to have at least a line phone in your house that doesn't need external electricity. In many cases of fire, it will be a power shortage, and you can forget using your fax-phone or wireless house phone. A cellullar phone will do the trick as well, as long as you didn't forget to load it up, of course:) For the same reason, even if you have a mains powered smoke alarm, be sure to regularly check/change the battery!
Your point is already proven by the stress that a lot of advertizing people put on disabling ad-skipping on digitally recorded TV (tivo and the likes). In those cases, a majority of people are inclined to use this technology, and advertizers start worrying.
That said, a lot of ads on the internet are pretty respectable now, except for the flash popups that fill your whole screen, but luckily they are pretty rare. Compared to TV ads, it's a heaven on the internet. I stopped watching the blockbuster movies on the commercial channels in germany because a 1.5 hour movie would take almost more than 2 hours due to the intermittent ads at every 15 minutes, of which most are the same anyway. Sometimes the last 15 seconds of the movie from before the ad are repeated, which feels like having my brain killed:( It is just too exhausting too watch TV this way, and I'm not even mentioning the 'information bars' that pop up to fill a fifth of the screen during a movie. I hope they won't start putting ads to be shown during DVDs now, because they are my only source of movies at the moment.
So, I didn't install an add blocker, but have pop-up protection, and that keeps my life in the internet pretty happy. If the ads would get more invasive, the majority will probably start looking for ad blockers, and it will become a problem of the advertizers. Just lets hope they will solve it with common sense (nicer ads) instead of forcing ad-blocking to be outlawed due to ip-infringement, for anti-terrorism, or whatever they come up with.
Yeah, I tried to get a better view of how the thing was constructed, before I'd buy it I would like to see how solidly the keyboard attaches to the rest, for example. But nowhere you can see a picture of that. On an apple website they would probably have put up a closeup of such details on it.
The concept on itself is nice, I know a lot of people who don't want a box, be it beige or anything, in their house and end up buying a laptop. These laptops are not used at any other place then at home, often even at the same desk all the time. Point is they are light and small. In such cases you could of course buy an iMac, but in the case you would transport that you run the risk of damaging in it as it is not really made for that. This Dell tries to be the computer for these people but it's a little bit ugly looking in some way I didn't figure out yet. Maybe they should realize that probably half the people that buy a pc by now are women, and that most women don't want a thing in their home that looks as if it was a prop in a 90's sci-fi movie.

How silly of me! I also forgot the even more contemporary sightings.
Actually, it's completely ontopic :)
sweden will be for filesharing what holland is for pot.
oh, and they do that because racemisation is much easier, cheaper and faster to measure, but you probably got that :)

Unfortunately, this sounds like a realistic and plausible explanation.

This is the same reason why people with cats still by crt monitors ;)
Which leads us to intel core duo or whatever it's named (their naming scheme confuses like hell).
Slashdot should do it just like gillette and add a mod point on the back for precision work

nope (from http://www.deadprogrammer.com/optimus-mini-three-f ull-review )
They also state that the color can be adjusted via the software, which solved the problem.
