AFAIK NX protocol is opensourced. Google for FreeNX. Nomachine commercial code just eases the setup respect to FreeNX in this case. FreeNX is getting user friendly though.
Wrong, OpenGL is network transparent through GLX extension. I've seen a 30e6 triangles VMRL model rotated much quicker at a remote display where we had better hardware+drivers respect to the machine the app was actually running at.
In GLX, OpenGL display lists are loaded AT THE X-SERVER: the loading process takes longer when doing remote, but then, they are hardware-accelerated-displayed at the remote machine!.
FreeNX comes out of the box at SuSE 10.3. Requires a small node.conf modification to adapt to new gnome/kde startup procedures thought. It will work just OK for "custom app" mode. I guess these issues may have been solved at more recent versions of SuSE.
Yet look at how many forums you can find with users having hardware problems with Linux. There's an incredible amount of them. Sure, there are some hardware issues in forums for Windows users as well, but it's lightyears away from anywhere that looks proportional to the windows/linux market share.
Which is not surprising since windows users are given a CD with an exe which does all the magic for every hardware they buy.
How many of those issues at windows forums are related to old hardware they are trying to make it work in newer windows OS?
Thanks, Slashdot, now I see why my upgrade process has speed down from 200KB/s to 15KB/s and going down:((
Seriously, I knew this would happen:P
I should consider cleaning up my packages, since my download is up to 2Gb!!!!
I'm guessing if they have left beagle/tracker on when doing the encoding. That might be a possible cause, if tracker/beagle is trying to index the resulting file which is large and constantly changing.
which means both aircraft will take action to stave off a stall.
It is worth noting that if the A320 would have stalled, the path towards the terrain would have been steeper, which might reduce the chance of survival.
Boeing uses analogs, and hydraulics controlled by the motive force of the pilot that is in turn, connected to the 'autopilot'
Obviously you are not talking about the new Boeing 787: the first fully-electric civil aircraft. Further, AFAIK 767 and/or 777 do fly by wire as well.
Airbus was the first one to do fly by wire in the civil field, and for that reason has become the focus of bad press. But today's Boeing's are similar in that way.
Anyway, fly by wire is the way to go. It has specific problems, but the old methods do have their ones as well, and has demonstrated that the operation costs get lower.
The definition of flight, as I studied at flight mechanics, is the motion through a single media or lack of media.
Airplanes fly through the air
Zeppelins and balloons fly through the air
Submarines fly through the water
Space-ships fly out of atmosphere
Ships do not fly because their motion is in between two media
Cars do not fly (except for some instants, as it is the case of Rally cars jumping:P ), since their motion is between two media.
From an engineering point of view, submarines use buoyancy forces mainly besides hidrodynamic lift at controls. There are interesting projects around about small submarines using mostly hidrodynamic lift to move around. However, being buoyancy so cheap and independent of the speed of the sub, makes it so interesting for a sub. In aviation, however, in order to obtain good buoyancy you need so much volume that makes it impractical (Zeppelin) and smarter approach is required (aerodynamic lift) with a penalty (minimum speed required).
Window Shading - I don't see how this is better than minimize to the taskbar
It is better because when you minimize a window, it goes somewhere far from its current location (a place on the taskbar which also depends on further windows being opened).
Me too!
Seriously, I've taken a look on the C++ part and deserves bookmarking: for each algorithm, there is an example and a detailed description including the computational cost.
Really nice resource.
Hmm, latest google-earth seems wineish to me (4.3.7204.0836 (beta)).
The first one was wine.
Then I tried for long a Qt one.
This one looks like it is wine again! but your comment has made me check the things, and seems you're right after all:
ldd googleearth-bin
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libgcc_s.so.1 =>/usr/lib32/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf7f61000)
libstdc++.so.6 =>/usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6 (0xf7e6e000)
libQtCore.so.4 =>/usr/lib32/libQtCore.so.4 (0xf7cf9000)
libQtGui.so.4 =>/usr/lib32/libQtGui.so.4 (0xf75f7000)

libQtXml.so.4 =>/usr/lib32/libQtXml.so.4 (0xf750e000)
libQtSql.so.4 => [...]
is qt but I guess it is set up so has the windows2000 look and does not obey your KDE style settings...

and with -C as well, I speed up at low latency links. Further FreeNX/NX do the trick for even lower latency links, also under a ssh tunnel.
Note that it is not MS who creates the CD with the drivers for a given specific hardware, it is the manufacturer who does.

ALT+PRINT_SRCREEN+K will do the trick if X11 is really hung.
And for the GODDAMN PARENT POST, just know that Raising Skinny Elephants is Utterly Boring.

Damned, I must be drunk. We need the google mathchecker at Slashdot!
It is clear that the airplane structure would not withstand those accelerations.
2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_control_systems
Not necessary. Typically it is the case, but an strong acceleration might kill you.
easy solution: fake some turbulence to scare the people and then they will shut up and begin praying. For god sake I'm not a pilot :P

we need dolphins equipped with lasers as well.

He!, Transmeta Logo seems quite similar to NVidia's.

why cut'n'paste when you can just memorize the ASCII string and easily type it directly at the telnet?

I'm big fan of reference counting. Now I know why :) (my scope is often limited to hundreds of objects of big size).
I don't think species evolve by doing nothing.
Dammed! if we don't die driving we will because a heart attack!
