No. A Lagrange point is where the gravitational force from the earth is canceled out by another gravitational force. There is still gravity acting on a body there, and there is still a net gravitational force acting on the body. L1 and L2 lagrange points are simply locations where an object can orbit the sun without being affected by the earth, but still being relativily close to the earth. The LISA experiment will be based at one of the two points (I forget which). However, it is not a point of zero gravity.
Just stop talking. You have no idea what you're talking about.
For starters: there is no location is the solar system that experiences "zero gravity". Notice all the objects orbiting the sun? Gravity. Weightlessness in orbit has nothing to do with zero gravity. A person in low orbit will be just as weightless as a person in geosynchronous orbit. You are weightless because you are in permanent free fall, not because there is no gravity. You can get the same experience in a plane. Remember the zero-g sports article about using planes? Yeah. As long as you are in free fall you will feel weightless.
People are stupid. And they deserve what is coming to them.
Yes it is.
Jeesus you people just don't get how complicated systems like this work. You're all as bad as american politicians, and they should all be shot for treason.
Its GPL incompatible not because of that, but because its nontransferable. If the right ti sell software using the schemas cannot be transferred to any and all users of that software its not GPL v1 compatible, much less GPL v2.
Indeed. There is a line in the "license" which specifically states it is a nontransferable right to distribute software using these schemas, but if the right to distribute is nontransferable, any GPL project is banned from using it automatically. From day one it was clear nothing had changed.
True, and you should never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence. Though in fun world of corporations, the two seem to go hand in hand.
There is an extension that blocks all javascript by default, and lets you actively select those sites you choose to permit it for. Its called NoScript. The thing is wonderful.
Its a fine browser, but like FF is based on mozilla, lacks extensions, or even the nifty features of opera. All in all, opera and FF are hands down the two best across all platforms, and if FF didn't have extensions, Opera would win. Opera > FF w/o extensions, FF w/ extensions >> Opera.
Wait...what?
If you can read it, you can write it.
Unless you're implying that they would hide undocumented features in the documents produced by MSO that would make the things unreadable in ther projects? Please, their evil, but they're not stupid. If they pulled that, along with this announcement they'd get raped by the EU.
Except bad code in Linux is written by college dropouts. Good code in Linux is written by computer science doctors, IBM, HP, Novell programmers. Bad code in Windows is written by MCSE's. Good code in windows is written by 13 year olds in Manila interested in PWNING your system. See the difference?
Not to mention the radiation you would be exposed to since that quantity of neutronium would not be stable.
I'm not sure if it would out right explode due to the force imbalance, or just rapidly decay blasting you with beta radiation. Either way, the puddle of what's left of you might be useful for medical research.
Well see the question is, and the thing I'm not clear on is whether the Trusted Computing chip is designed in such a way that you can't boot the computer at all without it. I understand if Vista is designed specifically to not boot without it, but does the BIOS stop anything that doesn't use it from booting? If not, I don't see the issue at all. And if it does, well then its time to switch processor architectures.
The thought just occurred to me: If you must use windows, why not do all activities that would otherwise be DRM restricted, in VMWare virtual machine running Linux, that would thus be unmoniterable by the windows DRM. Or just not use windows or all. With VmWare player now freely available, someone could make a single VM image specifically for DRM-free media usage, and voila.
They acheived domination with the barriers that high so far. Comparable software to what I use every single day in Linux would cost me $10,000 in windows. And I am one person, these are my personal systems.
They are actually how i learned to type well. Playing MUDs like solar eclipse through actual telnet, before i discovered mud clients, required me to type everything and to type it fast before I died.

He hadn't innovated the upgrade treadmill yet when he said that. Now its "Everyone needs 4GB of RAM!"
Hell, Eliza passed the Turing test. Just ask all the people that felt they had successful therapy sessions with it.

Water is wet, and the sky is blue.
I think you misunderstood the hateful jaded and misanthropic tone of my post, directed at said corporations.

So Sony was lying its collective arse off when saying it reacted as quickly as it could? This is news how?

No, but you do have to give CowboyNeal a few favors first.

I would think it would be, otherwise it doesn't do squat for them in MA. Their MSXML is already open to non-GPL projects.
And knowing that its a trap is the first step in avoiding it.

Are you a moron? Ever heard of counter-strike? Diablo 2? Quake? Unreal Tournament?

Almost definitely. A cheap beowulf of PS3s.
