the Tibetian Plateau has elevation that makes it unique in the world. There's a new one million square mile hole forming in the ozone over that area, believed due to air ciculation and not cfc
yup, all that's right.
except huge difference in cellulose that every other sugar molecule is "flipped over" or upside down, while in starch they aren't. Big difference chemically, when it comes to soluability or digestion.
Taste some sugar. Taste some wood or cotton. Eat some sugar one day. Then eat some sawdust the next (well, get some lawyer or politician to do it). Compare weight and consistency of turds. Something is different, two different chemicals. And I bet your high-temperature incinerator gets some sticky hard-to-remove gunk in its chimney with the sugar.
nah, polymer has different chemical and physical properties than building blocks. Burn a pound of wood in your fireplace one night, then a pound of glucose the next. Post the photos and contractor repair estimates on the web so we can laugh at you.
one of the hot research items in alternative energy is genetically modified yeast that can convert cellulose, not just sugar, to alchohol. this way, you only need plant matter such as wood, paper, grass
This sytem from Verizon is a step in the right direction. AT&T's spam blocking is totally lame, wish they would learn a thing or two from their competitors.
I do admin my own domains but keep my at&t for special purposes. It is possible to filter over 99% of spam through a combination of techniques.
so 1 out of 200 bats have rabies, that's a high number. They are the leading carrier of rabies in the U.S. and the cause of most human infections of the disease. The RNA sequence of the ebola virus and immune system experience found in Hypsignathus monstrosus, Epomops franqueti, and Myonycteris torquata announced in November 2005 are proof enough for me that bats are the culprit for ebola. Maybe some african place needs them to control misquitoes, but in developed first world countries we have no need of them whatsoever. So if windfarms attract and kill them that's a bonus.
yup, it's cute and great for running a couple apps, but QNX can't do its guaranteed service thing if too much is happening (like any other realtime OS), get too many windows going while burning a DVD or even writing a file and you're screwed. That's why realtime OS aren't sold as general user/desktop or server OS, for those we can be interrupt driven for things that *have* to get done, and if there's too much of the rest being asked to get done we just let those other thirty running apps run slow as mud 8D
newer large turbines kill zero to two birds each a year, much better than the old bird mulcher designs. I have no problem with that, though some people cry over every animal. Windows kill birds too. And I for one do not give a rat's ass about bats, they're disease carrying vermin (ebola, rabies, etc.)
what the? L4Linux has to run on top another REAL kernel, usually Linux. QNX is a realtime operating system, not a general purpose desktop or server one. And where's the spicy name-calling, I see the minix way being called "brain-damaged", heheh, but maybe I missed a good personal zinger? Mach probably bugs Linus because its still being used, even for relatively (in comparison to Linux) new projects & newer commercially sold OS.
that could work too, but I was thinking of the most bang per buck, especially where you could put two x86-64 type chips for the price of a top of the line ppc, SGI needs to think about cost more
a year ago Itanium2 actually lead the floating point benchmarks, they do after all have a vector supercomputer architecture. But of course with delays and scaling back the operating frequencies, the dual cores still aren't out yet and the clock will be about the same, 1.6 GHz as the older models. So unless intel does something really suprising and stellar, I don't see Itanium leading in the supercomputing field anymore, and SGI is stubbornly refusing to consider AMD, so the chip and SGI may soon be toast
I've great help and advice over the last seven years with Linux, (and OpenBSD and FreeBSD too in the last five) from enthusiasts I've met at jobs along the way. Maybe all we're proving is that assholes spend alot of time in IRC and forums making themselves feel important putting others down. But maybe things go better when you spend some time making some friends, whether online or even better the old fashioned way, and then you can talk about struggling with various projects and get help and good ideas. works for me.
oh, you work at the airport? well, if it's in a bar I might agree with you. There was one there where I used to order a glass of wine and it was like a goldfish bowl on a stem......
UML use is quite common in the java/j2ee world, though there's like two dozen methodologies that are no better or worse. One problem with UML (that the committee is working on) is it doesn't model parallel or multithreaded processes too well, and a realistic multi-tier architecture probably needs some of that in the model. It's also funny how the disciples think, how can you possibly have a large project without UML (or java/j2ee for that matter). One good thing (or awful thing) about the large UML tools out there is that they do let non-technical people such as business analysts participate in the design process

she was enlisted, but before that had another line of work which included helping cadets relieve tension so they could focus on their studies
but yeah, XFS rules for large partitions, mounts and checks go like lightning
eh, depending on block size, you should be able to do 2TB to 16TB partitions with ext3 with 2.6 kernel on your x86

that's ok, the poet describing Santa's belly has prior art on them both. And he died 150 years ago.
I had a NeXTStation with NeXTStep in 1991, and trust me there was no FreeBSD in sight, just BSD on mach. FreeBSD came along a couple years later.

heh, and before Apple slapped their stuff on "it" and called "it" Darwin most of "it" was called FreeBSD. 8D

it's somewhat better now though than when TWA operated it, no matter where they were going they first had to sit at the St. Louis hub for 4 hours
your lucky, the only thing MY distro vendor put out was a stinking src rpm.
