After sleeping badly on it overnight, I chickened out and cancelled the order. I don't know why my subconscious brain went poultry, but I listened to it. Now I will sleep better. Whew! Someone else can volunteer to do the experiment.
I put in for two of these puppies on a fraud-protected single-use credit card number. If they don't show up in eight weeks and I can't contact the company at that point, then I will reverse the charge. Of course, by that time no one on Slashdot will care any more.
NASA may be the last place on earth for expecting innovation. Most NASA projects that actually launch are made from 20-year-old parts and technology, because those are the parts and technologies with space flight heritage. Risk and innovation go together, and NASA is all about risk reduction. Innovation comes from tech startups that mostly waste the money of their investors on bright but impractical ideas.
I've always been extremely annoyed that when I move the mouse off of the right edge of Windows monitor, it doesn't appear on my Linux monitor. One gets used to the mobile mouse with a multihead machine, but switching machines still takes a chair rotation. I can imagine a Linux-controlled KVM to manage this, but not a Windows one.
Any system which depends on user input to rank pages is fundamentally a voting system. It has been proven (and discussed on slashdot), that any voting system with more than two candidates can be gamed. The entire project sounds like a waste of time.
Photolithography is probably not the method of choice for making quantum wells with on the order of 100 atoms, so the 45 nm limit doesn't really apply. Something like this would have to be made my electron holography or some similarly sounding science-fictiony method. Making something small without blowing all of the atoms away in the process is hard.
I just get into the online form for the company in question and enter crazy trash into all the blanks. Afterwards, all they have is junk that has nothing to do with me. The likelihood that anyone searches the backups is nil.
Perhaps not quite ready for prime time, but http://freebios.sourceforge.net/ is a nice way to solve this problem. Then if VT doesn't work, you can fix it yourself.
First the Extras, then the Redhat Server distributions. Then CentOs. Then SuSE. Soon Debian, Ubuntu and friends. Then Fedora will consume Mac OS, and last, with a giant belch, Vista. This is all part of their evil plan to take over the universe, and I, for one, welcome our new Fedora overlords!
On a related note, Gigabyte will also not be using Mentos any longer in the manufacture of Intel motherboards. This will prevent explosions due to Coke spilling into the computer case, apparently also a major cause of death for these motherboards.
I did, to Novell. But since I am switching to Ubuntu, I am not being very responsive to their requests for testing at the moment.
I really just need to start rewriting the tapes, which isn't very difficult, given that I have two tape drives.
I still have a partition with RH7. At some point someone broke the scsi tape driver so it wouldn't read my old backup tapes. Don't throw out those old install cd's!
I started out on RH 5, but I will never forgive RH for dumping support after RH9. By the time Fedora was announced, I was already using SuSE. I am now in the midst of switching to Ubuntu; not really because of the recent Microsoft deal so much as because the package management system doesn't appear to function any longer, at least for me.

So if the watermarks are public, they can be identified and scrubbed before posting?

So what prevents a man-in-the-middle attack between the target web page and the ID server?
My Windows computer does not come with Snake. Nor Robot. How lame!

If the entire CPU is small enough, then the volume that requires cooling to a fraction of a degree is pretty small.
You will note that, according to the Executive Overview, there is no KDE, only GNOME. Was the report written by Americans?
Actually, I just did some google searches to confirm, and can't find anything. I must be getting senile.
They have been doing this for some time. I have heard that Linux is known to port badly to these machines.

How do you import from Gnucash? Last time I checked (about two years ago), there were no export capabilities in Gnucash. Did they add something new?
I purchased a mini-Mac a few years ago and only run TurboTax on it once a year for a week. The rest of the time my wife uses it to websurf.

My god your right! I am wiping my linux os's immediately and installing Minix! I have seen the light!

This project exists on my list of things to do. Sadly, since it isn't in the top five, its prospects are not good.

And the misfortune of the wild animal, slaughtered for fun? Is that humorous to you instead?
