Pentagonal shaped wheels will perform better since the humps and bumps will be smaller, also the energy needed to get over the dead point will be smaller.
Next version: Hexagonal shaped wheels?
Maybe the invention of the round wheel was a step back in the technical evolution. Maybe this explains how the "fill in a race which moved unbelievable large objects without wheels" build their "object".

It was all in my 5 minute university unix course which I will include in full here (translated from dutch):
Ladies and Gentlemen,
This is a unix system. When I call your name, you come forward and take the note with your name and password from me. Also take one sheet of paper from this stack beside me. It contains the explanation of how to login into the system, how to start and exit your editor and how to run Nastran.
Good luck
The rest of the course was mainly waiting untill your name was called.

A few days ago on I believe CNN: Coffee improves your memory, at least short term memory, long term still needs to be researched, hence the "on I believe CNN". Today coffee saves my liver Now some math with coffee:
2 cups to improve my memory
2 cups to save my live
Just doubling the dose to be on the safe side=
8 cups of coffee in a day should be ok I guess.
And off again to the next topic.

I actually did, but using the preview function to see if it survives it into the post might not have been a bad idea.
Zero install time, zero effort. Ideal product I would say.
Downside: It is a service which they can charge for, so my OpenOffice will be cheaper in the long run. Lets say two hours to download, install and configure per year, at $30 per hour= $60 per year for this online product. It is an ideal office product though, just plug in a server or two for this application and you are done. Upgrade: Overnight for everybody, and everybody will have the same response, same bugs, so better to solve issues.

Jackont took his computer to the Israeli police last fall and was told to reformat it. But his problems persisted.
So either he did not format it, or after formatting it, he did not properly protect it and got infected again.
Poor (usually Microsoft Windows) users who also have to be administrators. The key problem is just that current OSes are not for people without CS knowledge to use. They need appliances which are protected, on which they can not install more software and which are protected by a mixed contract of anti-virus anti-spyware and system update vendors. As long as users have to administrate their system, whatever system, these kind of problems will continu to exist.
Nice to know it is pretty quiet. That was a big worry of mine. I know the G5s very well, and they are nice and quiet all the time (In use as graphics (so stereotypical) workstations). I do not know the dBs, just quiet, no sound at all audible.
The Sun IDE is IIRC downloadable from java.sun.com for free with the J2EE suite.
This kind of comparisson usually comes down to who has more performance per $. The added value of software suites, and ergonomics will become more important in the next years. I have multiple Dell machines standing around here (low end to medium), and they always make noise. My own new computer will probably be a mac mini with about 1 to 2GB of RAM. Diskspace does not really matter since I am not a music collector, and I can always use a USB drive for some mass storage just a plug away.
3 years is $1,078.20. That is for the basic model. For something with real specs, 2GB ram, faster processor, and a Dual layer DVD burner, you have to pay a $1,800 premium. For that money you can buy a Dual core 2.3 GHz Power G5 and have change left. Your real profit here: The Apple looks a lot better, and is still cheaper. For the sad design of this Sun box, they should charge Dell prices, this since they are competing with Dell with the Fire server line anyway.

The solution is not valid if the word does not exist in a dictionary. Does an encyclopedia count as a dictionary? If so I would say: Long live Wikipedia.

The problem which stays, and which I could have put more clear in my initial statement is that at a certain moment, the forbidding parent disappears, and the young adult, who is still very easy to influence, will get in contact with the material. Now it happens by accident, which gives the parent the possibility to act on that and educate the kid. I do not believe that parents will educate their kids about this, if there is no exposure. Just look at the state of sexual education, STDs and prevention. Parents do not really like to talk about that (It is I guess the toughest talk possible: Well, son/daughter, there is bees and flowers and when a bee meets a flower, they exchange pollen. You will want to do that too. Response: So I have to get pollen from a flower? Retry: etc.)
Would it not also be helpfull to expose a kid to all the things in life, but explain to the kid what is morale and what is not. Looking at extremist behaviour, it is mainly because of taboos that they get worse than necessary. No taboos, but just a good sense of what is normal and what is less normal (or plain abnormal) works a lot better.
So next time when you think of forbidding something because it is bad, maybe you should allow it and educate on it.

Agree 100% with you here. This kind of machine is partially a test for Microsoft to see what it takes to get control over the hardware market, and to exclude all those guys/girls with their fancy little OSes (Linux, BSD, OS/2, BeOS and many many others).
The hypervisor assumption is based on the backwards compatibility of the xbox360 with the xbox. The windows API is one part of which makes that possible, but you still have C++ code compiled for a PIII instruction set, so you need to solve that too. To run the games which now run on a PIII instruction set on a powerPC instruction set, needs some interaction/translation. This can be done two ways:
- Virtual PC (Microsoft bought a company with this technology a while ago). Xen, a hypervisor, is a sort of virtual PC (Going to get flamed on this one)
- Hardware: Implement the PIII instruction set on the powerPC processor. This is possible since they bought the IP and they can do with it whatever they want. However, this is not a trivial task. Implementation in software is certainly easier. You will need some good quality virtual machine though to keep a game up to speed. The only help you have in this case, is that you can let API calls for graphics directly fall through to the 360OS, so not to loose speed in that way.

I used to work at a bank. We digitally signed the programs to prevent tampering with the data and the programs. It helps.
vi program.sh

#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello World!"

chmod +x program.sh
output:
