So, you're basically saying that because President Bush signed the bill, he's not paying attention to anything else? He can take the time to sign this bill, and still worry about all of the other issues that are important. If there was a pending bill related to anything you said, then I'd bet President Bush WOULD worry about that bill first, if it's more important.
In order to be eligible to receive Windows® XP Professional x64 Edition, your computer must have been ordered between March 31, 2003 and July 31, 2005 with Microsoft Windows® XP Pro (32 Bit) preinstalled.
So, it seems from that, if your computer came preinstalled with Windows XP Home Edition (like me), you're out of luck.
That sounds good; however, if there's going to be an open robotics platform, does that apply to the actual software powering them? They don't necessarily have to have the exact same software in O.R.P.P. compliant robots, but just the same "kernel", so that extra code could just be modular: added in when needed.
If Forgent was going to sell it to Compaq, wouldn't it just be selling it to HP? Or have I been incorrectly thinking all along about HP buying Compaq, when in fact HP only bought the computer portion of Compaq? I'll go Google for more info...
d) it's REALLY hard to get permission to build refineries in the U.S.
It's not just that. People stopped building refineries in the US because there was no profit to be gained from the industry. It always ends up having the profits less than the total cost it takes to refine the oil. No profit, no business.
Just record audiobooks, and buy some cheaper iPod so the school can afford it. 20GB version of the iPod is obviously a bit too expensive, and the people at Duke who took the initiative to buy those iPods should have thought of cheaper models... even the iPod Mini.
I highly doubt one lecture will take more than 200MB? Unless... nah, no professor can be THAT boring...:-/
Indeed. We don't want n00bs who can't even add 2 and 2 together to be worrying about technology just yet.
That being said, however, technology can be used to teach students extremely well; especially with interactive lessons.
Technology in our school isn't all flash and bang. Our school get AutoDesk Inventor, for example, and it's been a big hit, and has helped with a lot of things, including CAD and design process(es).
Instead of just seeing how kids interact with technology, why not just study where in the class, or even school, that they use technology, what types of it, and the percentage of students who actually use technology.
This somehow reminds me of K. W. Jeter's Blade Runner 2 & 3 books (sequels to Philip K. Dick's DADOES? book), and how the Tyrell shadow corporation eventually eclipsed the original one. Let's hope Google.org actually becomes a philanthropic organization that can kick off.
(Ok, if you don't remember that article about the FBI cracking into a WEP network in 3 minutes, then you don't know what I'm talking about. Otherwise... yeah.)
What if people destroyed it by making it set course for the atmosphere? It'd be pointless... Though the people could of course program it to be able to only be controlled to a certain degree, but by then, lots of time would be wasted...
I wonder how much it costed the university to outfit Dell boxes (well, AFAIK, Dell only ships Windows right?) with Linux, and if they actually paid for the Windows OS or just requested clean HDD's.
Maybe they should start manufacturing keyboards that are pretty much touch-screen like, and whenever each doctor is done, simply have them press a different button, and the whole keyboard surface is automatically wiped and desterilized, on the spot.
Everything AOL has touched so far has died (Nullsoft, Time Warner, etc.), so I hope their accursed touch of death will kill XM...
In any case, my dad already gets XM Radio Online with his normal XM subscription, so it doesn't really affect me too much, other than I will be able to listen to XM Radio during study hall and not have to log in or anything.
Why not use CVS? CVS is a very mature method of source repositories, and has proved itself many times. Though Subversion may hold potential, why not forego the wait and use something that is used widely, especiall on SourceForge.net?

From MS's site:

Sorry, I meant "hardware", not "software".

is how to prevent pr0n from popping up while you're surfing the internet during study hall.
... unless you're actually surfing for pr0n in school.
Text pr0n? :-/
This would be great if it was used for mobile phones as well: you keep the general layout, albeit lose the images.
Another unforseen benefit is that you can prevent your son from watching pr0n on their new cell phone.

If they don't include Linux monitor drivers, I'm sure someone who has time would create some open-source solution or coax Toshiba into doing it.
This monitor, along with the Sharp one, would accompany well with Longhorn, which IIRC will include 3D desktops. So, it would be one step past that.
Like always, we need the actual software and applications to actually utilize new hardware.

You're wrong. It was DEADBEEFDEADBEFDEADBEEF.

Intel began to ship dual core processors on April 11th; I submitted an article about it, but it was rejected.
In any case, I guess I'll have to home-build a computer with those Intel dual core processors soon.

Why waste all that money when you can touch some molecules of your own! Your hand!
RSS is also known to stand for "RDF Site Summary".
For some odd reason I prefer that acronym over "Really simple syndication", even though RSS is simple.
