i agree that coding is easier on windows but any web business would prefer linux due to its increased security and stability. guess what the servers of google, wikipedia and slashdot runs on???
For some reason I don't see a 'Sign up' button. Also it is mentioned here that "We're currently only offering Gmail as part of a preview release and limited test. We don't have details on when Gmail will be made more widely available, as that depends in part on the results of the test."
From the challenge page: "This server won't be protected by firewall. There won't be any fake demons or honeypots as well. It will be running all the services normally found in a regular Linux distribution and more."
I agree with you but I don't think Kashmiris want people with AK 47's to rule them. That would be autocracy and not democracy. But they have little to say in a world where might is right.
Lashkar-e-Toiba is a millitant group connected with Al-Qiada and wishes to 'free' Kashmir. They are Muslim Islamists and believes that they are in jihad with almost everybody except them. Talk about ignorance!
Every neuron in our body acts just like electric wires transferring signals from one place to another. It cannot be 'justly' compared with ants and robots.
The space that we have mapped so far are the 'echoes' of the same a long time ago. The galaxies we are seeing now have evolved in the mean time and who knows there might be life on it now.
I am a bit confused by your question but here goes my two cents anyway. Infrared radiation like light is an electromagnetic wave that travel thro' space at the rate of 3 x 10^8 m/s respectively. The condition of the new galaxy that we see now is the 'image' of it some million light years ago, that is the time the radiation took to reach earth. So you may be right to speculate that the galaxy might not exist at all.
We know where they are by a process called Red-Shift. Please note that there is nothing called a 'definite' place in space. You can assume any co-ordinate anywhere and provide a relative 'address' to the object of concern. Also, here time is considered as one dimension because in case of stellar bodies, space and time are wrapped (Einstein et al).
This is quite natural. Gmail uses the Bayesian Spam Technique to check spam. As you must be aware, it considers mails of high freqency with the same email address and headers as spam. Since a mailing list has the same header and email address, it is considered as spam by the filter.
No making a machine 'Roar' is not an achivement. But when that machine is bipedal and moves with perfect co-ordinated steps, all controlled by a single computer within it, that's when we call it an achivement. And I believe the Japanese have done it.
"Dave bases his prediction on the fact that one of his sites has been getting a tremendous amount of hits from GoogleBot ever since he added the iCal calendar."
Why is that? Can't Google just install its own iCal and test it out?! Besides, even if it wants to see how many people are using Calendars on their websites, isn't indexing them once is enough?!
The ozone cover of our atmosphere is a dynamic process meaning that ozone is formed and destroyed at a constant rate as we speak. True that solar flares cause it to be destroyed but such phenomenon does not happen too often. In the time span between two such events the ozone can re-create itself. On the other hand, destruction of ozone by human made CFC's, freons, etc are spontaneous and hence causes permenant depletion.

Since you are a musician, you must be using computers for your musical needs. Do you trust Open Source or Propriety software for that?
I believe you misunderstood my comment. Our precious eyes requires a wavelength of 7800 Armstrong to 3800 Armstrong approximately to see stuff and the wavelength of a car or a man is much much larger than that.
For the article: The key to the concept is to reduce light scattering. We see objects because light bounces off them; if this scattering of light could be prevented (and if the objects didn't absorb any light) they would become invisible. Alù and Engheta's plasmonic screen suppresses scattering by resonating in tune with the illuminating light.
A body will appear black when it absorbs all the colours of the spectrum. However, their proposed invention won't absorb the light instead the wave of the microscopic body would resonate with the wave of the monochromatic light beam (having similar crests and troughs), thus making it invisible. That's why the bodies have to be so small. For a big body like a car or a human, the wavelength would be so large that finding a monochromatic source of light with that big wavelength is impossible. Hence, it does not work on large bodies.
However, this will prove useful in hiding a building for radio waves because long range radio waves have high wavelengths too.
Happy BD to them. Its hard to believe that these websites have developed so much in the last 10 years. Just shows how fast the Internet is growing. Amazing!!!
Slashdot Mirror
Next up... 3G on Casio calculators...
Amen!!!
Now I will be able to know when I won a real lottery and when I am being scammed!
If my company advertises prostitution, it doesn't mean that its promoting it... it plain money baby!!!
What's next? Concise Oxford charging for words explained in the dictionary?

I believe that this is more because Google's maximum targetted users (home users) still use Windows.

Why do you think Hubble is required to be repaired after an interval of time?

Also for general computing, what do you use?
Can you cite your reasons for the same?!
