If you read to the end of the wired article, he talks about a controlled nasa experiment that showed that the effect doesn't work in vacuum.
No anti gravity here.
I think that says more than the article. In the past the line was,"There's no such thing as anti-gravity". Now we hear, "It's not anti-gravity because it doesn't work in a vacuum."
Ah, well... I suppose we'll never see the results... but I do hope he gets his PhD.
Have you ever read a Tom Clancy book? They're full of 'classified' bits of information. So much so he actually spoke with Reagan about it in the 80's.
Sure, nuclear subs don't seem as much of a secret any more, but consider when The Hunt for Red October was released... I bet his research will definitely see the light of day.
Then again, maybe he should have wrapped it all in a gripping Cold War storyline;)
They also weighed more than the CRT, and easily drowned out my Adlib soundcard when I went up to 60 wpm.
Umm yeah, the rest of us bought amplified speakers.;)
But I can relate. A friend and I used to play 2 on 2 Descent games. We had this great invention for 'Real Time Chat' in DOS, a second phone line. I had a headset, and he used a speaker phone. His mic was right next to his klunker keyboard, and I could hardly hear what he was saying when he'd start smacking the keys;)
I don't see a similar set up for a hosting provider as being unneccessarily restrictive.
Unless that hosting provider has customers who want to use services like mine. Two advantages for the user are not having to worry about your current provider virus scanning/spam tagging your email, and you have a consistant email address no matter who your provider is.
So while I agree with your solution from an isp point of view, keep in mind that if you aren't providing the same services independant companies are providing, _and_ restricting your users from utilizing those services, you may lose those customers.
Dell will and does sell computers without an OS to businesses. I wanted my laptop without an OS, but they wouldn't do it unless I was a business and buying lots of them.
RTFA and I saw NO reference to anyone paying twice.
It's inferred. The FCW article said that some PC's would be purchsed from Dell. So it's assumed that these are going to be Dell's regular PC's that (At least at one point) were required to ship with a copy of Windows.
I would say it's possible that Windows is paid for twice, but unlikely that Office will be.
I know, I'm a chump for ever having owned one, but I had a 386sx/16 box from packard bell bought in 1990. it had a riser card in it.
Yep. But the riser card (IIRC), was in the MIDDLE of the case, to the left (with the front facing you) of the power supply. This put the top of the ISA/PCI cards towards the LEFT of the case.
From what I can see, the patent covers a riser card on the FAR LEFT of the case, with top of the cards closer to the right of the case.
Ummm, last time I checked, Novell eDirectory 8.7 (NDS), eGuide (web LDAP lookup tool) and DirXML worked very nicely on Red Hat 8.0. And that was TWO DAYS AGO!
But it's not a NetWare FILE AND PRINT SERVER (Unless you combine NDS with NFS/Samba/CUPS.
The Caldera product (IIRC) was a complete NETWARE SERVER that ran on Linux. Not unlike some of the freeware Netware emulators that still exist, but have never been updated either.
I think they can justify it. I mean, when you're used to paying almost $3,800 for Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with 25 CALs, $2,500 (and no CALs) sounds pretty good!
$2500 for NetWare 6 + Upgrade Protection for a 50 user 'upgrade' license. That includes a 2 node 'Cluster'. (File level connection failover).
You'd think 'NW' would throw NetWare in there:P Especially now that NAMP (Netware + Apache + MySQL + PHP/Perl) is now standard with Netware 6.5. So out of the box, you have failover ('clustering') support for everything from the standard Apache/MySQL to file-level reconnection.
Most people don't know this, but failover can be done with a single SCSI drive, and 2 PC's with SCSI controllers all on seperate SCSI ID's. It's a poor-man's 'cluster'.
  Sure! We're always happy to help. Start with an 'N' shape of rope, with penty of extra rope off the bottom of the 'N' (nevermind the direction of the 'N'). Keep wrapping tight coils spiraling up the outside until you're satisfied and tuck the end of the rope through the top eye. Pull down the bottom eye to form the loop and trap the tucked
end of the rope. Good luck!
It just occurred to me that my 8th grade oral instructional report, "How to make a noose." would probably get me in detention these days. While I'm at it, I have to give kudos to Mr. Congdon's "How to make an oragami deer" for eating up the rest of the period.;)
One can estimate theoretically the ultimate strength of a nanotube be examining the microscopic failure modes, i.e. the ways in which atoms rearrange in response to an external stress...
Or, since they've ALREADY spun 100m lengths of it, merely tie one end to a building and another to your ex's bumper;)
It looks to me like software fix would be possible, but the quality will be reduced. From this page it looks like a broken SLC would reduce the resolution of the image.
Holy cats! Combine that with my other post, and you just might have something for the 'cordless shaver/vibrator' crowd for watching TV..

It is 'Wo is Klippy?!' 'w' not a 'v'. Babelfish ist kein Freund.
Dah you're right, and I didn't even notice when I checked Babelfish.
My grandmother would be so disappointed ;)
(shakes head) Even I got this right without looking.
"VO ist Klippy?!"
Bablefish ist ihr freund.
I kind of agree it should have been named after the 'Daredevil Flyer', but I had Chuck Yeager in mind. Plus, he's a General.
No anti gravity here.

Whoops. Damnit People, please post who's $200 PC's we can buy!

Or maybe something as simple as:
- Discover your max database connections.
- Throttle down Apache to HTTP connections less than SQL connections.
Not that I've ever needed/cared to try it, but it's a thought, and in theory compensates for PHP/PERL/CGI SQL issues..heh, 10 function keys, 10 commandments.. that can't be a coincidence :P

I picked up 3 or 4 of them at GoodWill last year for $1.50 each.
Since Outlook isn't open source, does it really matter if the MAPI Service Provider isn't either?
Unless that hosting provider has customers who want to use services like mine. Two advantages for the user are not having to worry about your current provider virus scanning/spam tagging your email, and you have a consistant email address no matter who your provider is.

*runs-away-real-fast, pauses realizing nobody got the joke, hangs head in shame and walks off into oblivion*
Yeah, that was pretty bad.. maybe something more relevant:
Does that mean their horses will handle better?
Sounds like that old game F-19 Stealth Fighter from MicroProse.
I used to be able to fly across the Persian Gulf with no fuel just by nosing down and up. Landing was a bit tricky though ;)
Is the military a business? IMHO, the DEA is :P

So you see it's completely different :P

Is that the new word of the day?
"Damn. That chick is unobtanium."

Am I the only person who looked down at his t-shirt for comparison?
