I heard this talk at Rutgers University a few months ago, and I asked how the GPL copyleft mechanism would stand if copyright protection of "knowledge works" (which he included software under) was removed. It relies on the author having some aspect of control over the distribution of his code in order to enforce the added restrictions. I didn't get a satisfactory answer out of him, something along the lines of legislating terms of the GPL. Any takers?
recent videos on YouTube showing the king next to feet, something extremely offensive in Thailand If there was ever an article that deserved the humor "foot" icon, it's this one...
I've been trying to sell a million dollar laptop for years... I think the trick would be to travel back in time and sell it to the US government for nuclear weapons simulation, but I'd need the money first to build the time machine and I haven't found an investor who takes me seriously yet.

3. as a consequence of 1. and 2. it can be said that college students are a tiny market which will become the largest market for premium content, due to their massive disposable income. Which is why it is so important to hammer fear into them when vulnerable, lest they waste said later disposable income on tangibles rather than RIAA members' products.
Sounds like an excerpt from some Islamic Da Vinci Code, maybe Contact, maybe even Stargate. Clearly encoded in these tiles is the plan for an interstellar transport system of some sort.
the practical result is that a process which is I/O intensive - that is, one which causes interrupts to occur - will actually run much longer than it would otherwise
I've only had one semester of OS design so I may be completely off here, but I think that this is intentional. CPU scheduling is for scheduling the CPU, a process doing blocking I/O (not counted against the thread's CPU usage) often will be giving up the CPU frequently, and it may be expected that it will continue to do so so it would be logical to give it CPU access more often so it can get its I/O underway and let others get on with the CPU. If the I/O is nonblocking then whatever the process is doing while waiting is still treated as CPU usage.
As long as I'm living in a world of make-believe: what I'd like to try out is a game where each server was open only an hour or two each day, and the game play was designed to fit between triannual server resets.
The type of game you suggest exists in turn-based occasionally-resetting games such as Archmage (or the clones thereof since its demise), although rather than being open for a limited time, unused turns accrue.
The reset mechanism was activated in-game, which I thought was an interesting way to implement it (the greatest power was to initiate the end of the game).
I didn't play it for very long but it did seem like a fascinating construct.
My guestbook has a field where you are prompted to enter "I am not an idiot who will post drug advertisements." I haven't seen a drug advertisement since (not that I get a lot of traffic in the first place, but I was getting spam once a week before I put that in place).
The difference in desktop power consumption stems from Core 2 being a mobile design to begin with, so I wouldn't expect as drastic a change in portable power consumption.

fyi: in_cube for playing the streamed audio
Ooh, we have a government with eye beams now?
N64 games were also built with gcc.
aw, man, and just after I use up my mod points...
You, sir, are not getting a Funny mod.

If we're only allowed to Appreciate Happy System Administrators today there's not going to be much Appreciation going on...
...need I say more?
No, but you need to say it louder
