most people, not even salutatorians, do not get that high of an SAT score. those who do not ace the SATs, must perform well in school, doing busy work, if they do want to get into college. I would like to propose, that high school means nothing to you, but it does mean something to others.
well, in a perfect world the taxes would go to setting up regulatory bodies that watch & prevent the corporations from running roughshod over your rights, but in our country(America) the money goes to regulatory bodies that are so drenched in corruption that they sell your rights to corporations for the highest price.
Ok, here is the error in your logic: Quake pushes a machine to it's limits by giving your graphic card as much work as it can take. The only way Quake performance is even remotely similar to web serving is multi-player quake, but it is like apples to oranges. Another factor you have to look at is what an operating system is built to do. Linux was not built to play quake fast, neither was windows, but more development time has made windows a better platform for quake, including graphic driver development. Some companies won't work with the open source movement to build great linux drivers, and some release linux drivers as an afterthought.
The real factors that determine good web service are: disk i/o performance, memory management, network configuration, bandwidth, security & many more things. But graphics cards don't factor into this.
Don't get mad that people here are backing Linux, and don't get the idea that everyone here is a zealot. This whole article is about which web service package is better, and if Linux comes up lacking, the Apache development team will probably work on it, and catch up. But the question about what is better is being asked now.
If people who are displeased with CueCat's method of business emailed Radio Shack regarding their misgivings, the Radio Shack people might listen and a) exert pressure upon CueCat to listen to the vocal Radio Shack customers. or b)drop the CueCat deal as soon as they can.
People by Apples so they can use MacOS.
I run both MacOs and Linux on my mac. Lots of people do, go sign up for the terrasoft(a mac/linux distribution) mailing lists and behold the spam that they produce
It'd be like getting a proprietary SGI (O2, Indy, etc) and running Linux on it instead of IRIX. The user experience would be gone. So it is with Apples.
SGI has very steadily been working to port some IRIX features into Linux. They are not abandoning IRIX, but they seem to be eager to work with Linux. They sell Linux servers. The "user experience" can change very quickly, and in the case of Linux, the user experience is very malleble in that you may change the code so it does exactly as you like!
this can be done with java-script and pdf documents and adobe's pdf player also, i can dig up the code tonight if anyone wants to see. I saw it in a Mactech magazine months ago.
I believe we can all agree that the first step of space travel is 'hard'. Getting off of your home planet and into orbit, much less escape velocity is difficult.
I agree that first step of space travel is hard, sometimes just getting up off the couch is a little daunting...
I agree with you(mostly) now upon reflection, except that sometimes collabration on open source projects does indeed breed innovation, but I would say that most innovation does come from one person.
Books won't stay banned. They won't burn. Ideas won't go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost. The only sure weapon against bad ideas is better ideas.-A. Whitney Griswold(1952)
but on a more offtopic note, this fellow also said:
Could Hamlet have been written by a committee, or the Mona Lisa painted by a club? Could the New Testament have been composed as a conference report? Creative ideas do not spring from groups. They spring from individuals. The divine spark leaps from the finger of God to the finger of Adam. which IMHO doesn't completly jibe with the Linux open source ideals.
but as of now, people are only thinking of being able to change genetic code for the better. Apparently no one is thinking about reversing changes. SF often has the uncanny habit of coming true often, so I am trying to understand the gravity of the situation.
Seriously, what would/could stop(besides cost & complexity) the next generation of spammers from releasing a gene changing virus (or nanites for that matter) that change your DNA
I've got to think that's illegal under existing US law.
There are no other methods besides reliance on and adherence to the law? In the future, would it be possible for people to have copies/backups of their own genetic code for purposes of protecting their genes from being involuntarily changed? Is something like that unreasonable or feasible?
I have not been scientifically trained but I enjoy reading armchair science books. I have a couple of questions for you regarding the ethical guidelines of genetic research.
the link in your article was a page describing the ethical questions and problems involved, but there were no guidelines there(just a spotlight on the issues involved). Katz said there are no guidelines or rules on the books. Are there actual rules and guidlines within the project dealing with the issues we are concerned about, or just the questions raised?
When will I be able change my skin color to blue?
Seriously, what would/could stop(besides cost & complexity) the next generation of spammers from releasing a gene changing virus (or nanites for that matter) that change your DNA so that your skin(through pigmentation changes) becomes a billboard for their ads? The tactics and behaviour of these individuals don't convince me that they would not do something like this, and it is easier to image other people doing worse. But it also easy to imagine people doing remarkable good, like changing us so that we can use a photosynthesis system like plants to gather energy rather than(or in addition to) eating.
people will trade MP3s after napster. The eradication of a novel medium is a mistake and should be fought at every turn.
perhaps creating a microve relay internet on the unregulated(if there are any, I know nothing about wireless protocol and airwave regulation) spectrums, with no controlled choke points.
check out booyaka, a guy named Marcus has been nursing their message board legions along for a while. The message board deals with programming the VMU. He has a linux compiler(assembly) for it, a Win compiler has been ported, and people have been making games for awhile. Marcus made and released the code for tetris on the VMU, it is great stuff. Like console programming, you have to take control of the VMU screen yourself. When coding the VMU, your software must run in a very small amount of space, 64k, and you have to be very careful of draining the batteries(you need to adjust the processor speed when idle and when drawing to the screen). Great stuff

Many people are unhappy with the two major parties. It is my belief that third-party candidates are avoided because people believe that the candidates would not be able to work with a congress full of demos and repubs. I must also acknowledge the lack of advertising for third party candidates as well. And are you positive that third party candidates would really be better? What makes you think a third party candidate would adhere to his/her platform any more than a demo or repub?(just a hunch?)

What is the Darwin Streaming Server? Darwin Streaming Server is server technology which allows you to send streaming QuickTime data to clients across the Internet using the industry standard RTP and RTSP protocols. It is based on the same code as Apple's QuickTime Streaming Server.
What is the RTP Proxy? The RTP proxy allows organizations to bring multiple incoming QuickTime streams through a firewall.
