Rendezvous Browser Yes that name makes perfect sense. What exactly is Rendezvous, again?
If I start up a GNOME session and want to use network meeting functionality, how is there any possible way that I could guess that "Ekiga" is the application I'm looking for?
The menu will probably say "Internet Telephony" next to it. GNOME is pretty good about labeling the programs.
I beg to differ. Analog phones (and digital ones for that matter) scale the transmitter power output according to the received signal strength, or when the base station tells them to bump up the transmitter. The modulation scheme being FM has nothing to do with it.
Perhaps, but they transmit less information. Digital phones will transmit less often, so they will be output less power.
Who would have expected that an employee of a company who goes out of his way to publicly badmouth his company's products would be fired? I was expecting Sony to give him a bonus for all the extra sales he's going to bring in.
That's the way it is now, but you used to be able to register both at the same time. I guess they fixed it now. I know that this is a problem, as I'm getting email for someone else who's got my email address without the dot in it.
Please remind me why this cheaper version of a form of nuclear reactor that has yet to be shown to work well really matters. Is China just jumping on the bandwagon?

So you're saying that I should buy products from companies advertised in banner ads, not because I want them, but because I feel that it is my duty to sustain the market for banners?
If you're just curious about what this new gimbal looks like, tntech.edu has a video showing how it works. Or, for those who don't like Coral cache, here's a link to the original site.
but what about the ol' copy-paste from a block one level deeper that would throw everything off. Remind me never to look at code that you've written. Every time you copy and paste code, you keep the indentation the same as before, so that by the time you've finished a project the indentation and block structure have nothing to do with each other?
I think that you've forgotten the fact that it also has to accelerate a lot of fuel at the beginning. By the rocket equation, assuming an Isp of 3000 (they say it's about as efficient as earlier ion rockets, and a mass ratio of 5 (not as good as chemical rockets, because this has to have an additional power source), we get a velocity of only 50000 m/s.
The big list of engines that aren't electric engines: Gasoline engines Diesel engines Steam engines Jet engines Liquid-fueled rocket engines Solid-fueled rocket engines
The big list of engines that are electric engines: Ion thrusters
I'm probably missing a few in both categories, granted.
Hmm, 100 kW. not bad for an electric thruster, but still only 134 horsepower. When compared with the Space Shuttle main engine's 12,000,000 horsepower, that isn't very much.
Maybe they should also focus on how it will crowd out investment in other things, by costing money that could be used for other things. Merely creating jobs that do something useless and creating worthless infrastructure wouldn't be a good use of money; we actually have to consider the value that we get out of it.
I'm not saying that converting to IPv6 is a bad thing. I'm merely saying that we have to consider if it's worth the money. If you want to go about creating jobs that do worthless things, why not divide the unemployed into two equal teams: those who screw nuts and bolts together for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and those who unscrew those same nuts and bolts, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week? That would certainly create jobs, and I'm sure we'd need to increase our bolt- and nut-making infrastructure.
Hey, Microsoft just sponsored a puzzle-solving competition here at CMU. And they're (or at least Bill is) sponsoring a large portion of a new CS building for our school. I guess that their contributions in the US just aren't that visible.

1. Get multicast working
2. Save lots of money for bandwidth from the content providers to them
3. Profit

Did you just insult IBM?
Since when has that stopped anyone from getting a patent?

Luckily, these suicide clubs never seem to last very long.
Considering that most of the masses going that fast relative to us are either:
a) very small
b) very far away
it seems possible that their effect on us would be very small as well.

KHz is Kelvin-Hertz. kHz is kilohertz. Notice the capitalization. It's the same thing as kB versus kb.
I think you're assuming that Google likes filtering and wants to do a good job of it.
That's certainly a better idea than a steel hat. You don't want to slice anyone's head off...
This sounds like a job for Folding@Home....
Sometimes they do that, sometimes they sell their store of bonds on the free market to lock up money. It's a balancing act.

It's a tough choice: bring along extra batteries, or bring along extra rolls of film.

Taking off under their own power might be nice, but I imagine that a simple catapult could solve that problem.
