NASA is only 0.6% of the federal budget, a shadow of its peak at 5.5%. Cutting a measly $1.7 billion (10% of its currently $17 billion budget) a year cuts the $1400 billion budget deficit by 0.12%, practically nothing.
We should increase NASA's budget by $2.5-$5 billion, so they have the resources to really make progress. We should then get some management that actually has a pair, and can deal with the politics to find practical solutions without worry what congressional district parts are made in or which NASA center does the work.
Currently there is no such thing as UAV's for civilian purposes. The current FAA restrictions are such that its basically impossible to certify them to fly in the same airspace as other aircraft.
What's being left out is that its not illegal to own such a TV, only sell one in California. This means people who want larger TV's or a better picture at that cost of more energy consumption (like Plasmas) will just buy the TV's out of state through something like Amazon or BestBuy.com.
The only thing the CEC should do, if anything, is mandate labels on the TV's which list the average cost to run each TV. This way consumers could make the choice about which kind of TV to purchase.
There flight search is a direct rip off of kayak.com. Its so blatant that I have to assume they are licensing the tech from that site directly. If not its just another use of Redmond's photocopiers.
PyQT is made by another company, http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/ and is still under the same license as the old QT. It remains to be seen whether or not they will change license now that QT itself has. They did change there windows licensing when QT did, so there is hope.
Except for VBA in Microsoft Office. Its implemented in tens of thousands of lines assembly (on both Windows and Mac) using specific knowledge of how the complier lays out the virtual function tables of C++ classes. Even the x86 assembly makes calls into the windows API, so its not even portable to other x86 platforms (like Intel Mac). In Excel, they have the floating point number formating routines hand codded in assembly. I assume the office team does this keep these apps nice and snappy under a large work load, but it certainly doesn't help ISA switches.
Most video/audio apps have significant features that depend on well tuned hand written assembly. That is why it took adobe so long to port photoshop, they had to recode all there PPC optimized processing routines. The above reason is why VBA was dropped from Mac Office 2008.
People are talking about Europe being upset at the US because they have it easier but what about China and India? Both countries are growing up fast and China is especially lose about its restrictions. How would you as the US feel if were asked by a region which is economically inferior to yours to hamper your economy, but yet they ignore your strongest competitor. From a pure monetary standpoint that doesn't make much sense if you want stay successful as a country.
The P5B-E network drivers are included in source form on the same Driver disk that the windows ones come on. You can compile and install it rather painlessly by following the readme included with them after you have installed the needed packages for building (build-essentials and linux kernel headers). That is kind of hard to do without a Internet connection but I got it done somehow (possibly off the install disk). The driver also has a flaw in that requires you to run "sudo ethtool -K eth0 tso off" everything you boot in order to get upload working well.
Its not easy, its not intuitive, but you it can be done and the future it won't have to be. Welcome to Linux.

I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library. -Borge

I am sure there energy experiments will be just as successful and well thought out as there recent fiscal ones...

The animations sections works perfectly fine with Linux & Firefox, if you spoof your user agent. I just tell it I am Vista/IE7 and everything works.
Why don't you use http://pyinotify.sourceforge.net/ to enable inotify support?
Have you heard of NX: http://www.nomachine.com/ ? It gives you a remote connection to your desktop using a compressed version of the X protocol.

Check out 'Chad Vader - Day Shift Manager' it more funny than you would believe.
Worked out of the Box on a new Mac Mini, just make sure to upgrade your firmware, fully patch you OS X, and install Boot Camp.

You should check out Py++ it provides more automation than SWIG with the easy of integration between Boost.Python and C++.
No posts and already slashdoted.
Glad we got that PS3 out of the way, now I have nothing to distract me from playing Bully on the PS2.
This story is even on the front page!
That would be Monorail: http://www.castleproject.org/index.php/MonoRail.
You want the Nightly Tester Tools: https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php ?application=firefox&id=958 It allows you to have firefox ignore the version numbers.
Honda's ASIMO can now run at 6 kph not 10 mph. 6 kph is 3.73 miles per hour. This is doulbe the old 3 kph of ASIMO.
Yes, but unlike failed communism, failed capitalism doesn't kill millions of people. Failing capatilism is better than communism any day of the week.
