Apple is stuck retrying a case it won in 1984. Clone makers copying its OS. Apple probably spends 5 times as much on software development as hardware, while the clone makers spend 0.
Wow. Thanks for that warning. I've been disassembling and assembling hardware all my life using lead solder on my kitchen table without ever using a fume hood, fans or a filter mask. I should be dead now since it's so dangerous.
Oh that's right. I don't eat the solder! Fortunately, neither do these kids. They take the lead, make it into cheap jewelry and sell it to American kids who do. Look it up. Lead poisoning deaths in this country are not happening to people handling electronics. They're happening to kids eating cheap foreign jewelry.
Let's see, a kiloton of TNT = 4 x 10^12 joules all released in a fraction of a second.
A megawatt of power for 30,000 seconds (8 hours) = 3 x 10^10 joules, so no nuking here.
Also, unless I misunderstand this, you don't get more energy as thrust than you can put in as electricity. So to get that megawatt of power out, you need a megawatt of electricity in. Solar panels will only get you 1300 W / m^2 with 100% efficiency at the Earth's orbit. I guess you need a really long extension cord.
Happens all the time. Then another corporation buys all their assets for cents on the dollar, the stockholders get screwed, and surprisingly, the new company is run by the same guys who ran the old company.
The limits built in to TCP/IP include things like packet size and packet sequence numbers which were generous in 1969 but seem tiny now. Also, the original model for most protocols was that the systems connected to the internet were trustworthy and that malicious people would not have root access.
Coming up with new protocols and services for realtime streaming data, GBPS bandwidth and untrusted nodes means starting from different assumptions.
Ethernet LANs can already run multiple protocols simultaneously. Adding a new protocol means a new software stack and gateways between networks. As it catches on, LANs can shift from connecting through a gateway to connecting directly using the new protocol.
Its no different than the changeover to digital TV. People with analog will just use a converter, then will start buying sets with both analog and digital inputs. Eventually only digital sets will be sold and you will need a converter to play your old analog recordings.
A study I read on Donepezil (Aricept) suggested that it slowed impairment in a portion of Alzheimer's patients but had no effect in the rest, which suggests that there may be multiple conditions under the same name. I thought that autopsy results showed plaques as common to all cases, though.
"KDE 4.1 is great. I'm running it on an old Thinkpad t21 just fine"
That is great news. Whenever I see something with a long list of new features I kind of groan about what the new hardware requirements are likely to be.

What. You've never had plug rage? The last time was trying to get the power plug off a 10-year old hard drive. It seemed to have been superglued.

The high voltage power supply in a monitor can keep a kid entertained for quite a while.
So it's better for those children to starve then to make money getting copper and gold out of old e-waste?
The curvature is about 0 deg, 0 min, 1 sec per 100 feet, which is flat enough for engineering purposes.

We can guess that it is similar to the DS-1 Ion drive which propels Xenon ions at 30 km/sec.
Then the bad actor comes in and finds out Windows won't boot because his HDD serial number has changed.
... and what does TV have to do with carrying information?
Since a moderator decides on objective criteria, slashdot posting is therefore a sport.
I fully expect this post to be moderated objectively.
In COBOL that's:
USE JOKE MISSING OVERHEAD SOUND(FWOOSH).
except that slashdot's too many caps lameness filter is also written in COBOL.

And for those of you wondering...
Markov was Chekov's evil twin on Star Trek.
Because God forbid we ever lose any of the precious information on Usenet.
Its called archive.org.

Its only in Vista Enterprise or Vista Ultimate, which support disk encryption.
Does that make the Patriot Act like the Infield Fly Rule?

The future ain't what it used to be, that's for sure.
