What's the problem? It would require the owners of all those routers to cooperate with each other.
I'm not sure where you get this. Just like all interior routing protocols you would have to run a common multicast protocol through an AS (or be clever) but you can seperate areas with Multicast BGP extensions or MSDP.
This is typical creationist rhetoric. "I can't see evolution so it doesn't happen".
The fact is, Genetic algorithms are quite good at answering questions like. What's the best sequence of events to follow in order to survive (survive doesn't neccesarily mean live here) a circumstance. End users don't want to teach a program they buy to work they want a working program. Genetic algorithms ARE used to help develop these programs.
Perhaps as people get more tech savy they will see more genetic algorithms in their everyday lives. Thinks like handwriting or voice recognition on PDA's.
Just because something isn't in mainstream use is a poor argument for it's validity. I mean by your argument Brittany spears is one of the greatest vocalists of all time!
Or in a more techinical(within the scope of a random number generator) a random selection is a selection from a set where any element of the set has an equal likelyhood of being selected.
One of the most impressive things about Google to me is how easily you seem to have embraced an open model. I realize the outward view of a company can be quite different from the internal view. How easy is it actually to make decisions such as opening API's. If it's easy can you give some advice on how one might convince their boss.
Because the only interesting thing about this is seeing the webpage? What about the cool use of wireless technology. What about the potential of keeping your webserver with you to tell your family/friends where you are via http. Who cares about the/. effect. If the owner of the ipaq doesn't then no big deal. I don't mean to flame but I hate reading an interesting story only to be filled up with comments from people who don't care about it. IF YOU DON'T CARE WHY TAKE THE TIME TO COMMENT!
Acutally. It would depend on the theme. I go to confrences to learn or to network. What would be the purpose of a/. confrence. Would it be just a get together or would there be topical discussions.
This makes me so angry that someone would abuse the right to speech to the point where there is no choice but to suspend it. It only takes a few reasonably well organized sociopaths to ruin freedom.
Before you flame, I'm not saying that the court killed free speech (yes I read it), only that it makes me sad that any speech should be so inflamitory that the courts can justify shutting it down.
Many of the NPR interviews we hear are over the phone or some similar technology. Why limit it to the bay area when the stuff the bay area is working on provides so many wonderful alternatives:).
Other than a degree, the only way I can think of to show employers that you can code is to do it. Ask your current employer if you can use the help programs you wrote as examples. write other examples to other employers. Getting involved on sourceforge is a great way to build up a portfolio of code you've written(and it does good for the community). If you don't want to take the time to get a degree you will definatly have to be proactive on this, it's not easy but it's not impossible. Good luck!
... but shutting them down is neccesary to maintain harmony (and legality)
That right there is all the argument you need. These services are being used for illigal purposes. Every school I've ever heard of is so scared of lawsuits they can barely teach their students. Tell anyone who complains to tell the principal who will almost certainly side on the 'legally safe' side.
O.K. Moderators have your fun with me, but I can't help but comment on the new OS 9 icon where the only story under the topic is the end of OS9. Wouldn't this be better placed under Apple:)
Ahh, if I understand now then the question is really what does the hubble have that these other great scopes don't? It doesn't have to deal with atmospheric interference. The atmosphere does a (thankfully) wonderful job of filtering out all kinds of light. The hubble, being in space, gets to see all these wavelengths.
Pluto doesn't Emit light but it does reflect light.
The moon doesn't emit light, but we can see it because it reflects the light from the sun. Same with pluto.
So, to answer your question we could certainly see pluto if we were to point a sufficiently powerful telescope at it. The problem then become the distortion of light over a distance plus any atmosphere it might have(IANAA) would make seeing specific parts of the atmosphere quite difficult to see.
If we want to live in a non-mono OS society it could potenitally be impossible or at least unrealistic to think that every hardware manufacturer would write drivers to every OS. The fact that the Linux community was able to write drivers means the company probably opened up their hardware specs. This in its self is a HUGE help, not only allowing LINUX drivers but *BSD, BeOS(*sigh*), Plan 9 or whatever to have drivers as well.
Ebay, and probably others, offer an escrow service. The problem is it's just not worth the cost for a $20 item. Works great if your buying art or something of the sort though.
One of the advantages of open source, not inherent it just happened that way, is that it is the users responsibility to be clueful. Forcing clue upon the user is a slippery slope. Once you get to the point where the user can't screw it up you get a much less useful product because it's extremely difficult to modify. You end up with... well... windows I guess.
Assuming the info on the CD is of a substantial size. The benefit to a dialup user can be great. I would much rather dl patches at 56k than an entire large project. Plus It can give a reader/user an idea of modules for certain projects. Plus it's nice to have a reference to start from.

Your average slashdotter is probably above average.
Actually what the article says is that all numbers under 5000 or something like that fall into one of 3 'seeds'. for example 196 would be a seed 887.
Or in a more techinical(within the scope of a random number generator) a random selection is a selection from a set where any element of the set has an equal likelyhood of being selected.
The smell your car would give off as exhaust would probably boost McDonalds sales through the roof!
Back in the old days we had to be more clever to circumvent this kind of thing, fortunately specialty stores still sell these circumvention devices
That explains the sudden spike in traffic to alt.sex.binaries.bears.pandas I was worried for a minute.
is this a leading indicator of a FORTRAN revival?
no.

Given the circuit city in my neighborhood the article could read. 'Neighborhood phases out circuit city'.
