I don't think government should subsidize anything; not research
...says a guy using WWW (funded by CERN) over TCP/IP (funded by Darpa), most likely on Explorer or Mozilla (descendants of Mosaic, funded by NCSA) with either a Yahoo or Google search bar (both started as grad projects at Stanford).
No one in IT/CS/etc can rightly complain that government subsidy of research doesn't benefit them.
taxing people in North Dakota and Virginia to pay for protection for people who built homes below sea level.
Funny that you should pick North Dakota as your first example. For every dollar that those badlands leeches pay in income taxes, they get back about TWO dollars in federal largesse.
Care to know which states really deserve to complain about their tax dollars being handed out to others? That would be Wisconsin, Delaware, New York, California, Massachusetts, Colorado, Minnesota, Illinois, Nevada, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and the most robbed of all, New Jersey.
The word "multiprocessor" should be "multicore". They're talking about 4 or 8 cores on a single CPU, which might be nice for blades but not so useful for a laptop or a gamer.
f=G(m1*m2/r) is valid in non-relativistic scenarios
ALL situations are relativistic (and quantum). Any non-zero mass or velocity has a non-zero deviation from the classical theories. It may be trivial enough to ignore for most practical purposes, but mathematically that equals sign is incorrect.
Furthermore, we cannot be confident that there are not OTHER even smaller aberrations whose causes we have not yet seen. I reaffirm my statement: all of science is theories. Many of them are very good (such as evolution), but all of them are testable and none of them are 100% certain.
he refused to even offer a hypothesis as to the cause of this force on grounds that to do so was contrary to sound science
That was an accurate statement in his time. Newton didn't have sufficient tools (like a GeV-scale particle accelerator). Now that we are standing on his shoulders (among many others) the "why" questions are becoming visible.
The reason for USA's mobile phone chaos is the lack of common standards and towers. Each competitor had to build its own network from scratch, with separate technologies. So you end up with many areas getting spotty coverage while urban centers are blasted by 3x more RF than you would need if everyone were on the same network, as is done in the rest of the first world.
The FCC wants to push DSL into the same situation. Potential competitors would have to run their own wires, hugely expensive and a redundant waste of copper.
The best situation for end users is competing SERVICE providers on shared infrastructure. The best situation for corporate interests is rather a lot like what we have in the USA.
For the thousandth time, pay attention: Intelligent Design is NOT science. It is neither predictive nor testable.
EVERYTHING in science is considered a theory. Atoms? Theory. Gravity? Theory. Germ Theory of Disease? See the name.
Evolution has holes? So does gravity. So does biology. So does subatomic physics. But you don't throw them out and say "oh well, an undetectable overbeing does it, may as well go home".
On Cnet, Declan reports that while the media was focused on sugar prices and sweatshops, an important part of the newly-passed Central American Free Trade Agreement went by unnoticed: member nations must adopt an anti-circumvention clause matching the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
Whoever runs FFII was dumb Dumb DUMB to ignore a summons. If you can't afford a lawyer, bring a friendly indie journalist if you want, but absolutely do NOT skip a court date. Otherwise you're setting yourself up for the two sweetest words in the English language, even if you're in Germany.
But it's not logic, it's the RDF. Right up until Steve took the stage and announced it, most Mac-heads were chanting "PPC good, Intel bad". That it happens to be the right strategic move is irrelevant.
Oh, and it seems the new mouse does in fact have true clicking. It's the current zero-button Apple mouse with a pair a capacative sensors under the shell. Sweet.
Cute joke, but here in the Appleverse Steve's RDF is easily as strong as ever. For the most part Mac users have happily jumped onto the "PPC good, Intel better!" bandwagon.
Personally I wouldn't use a mouse without true tactile clicking, but I must agree that scroll nubbin is mighty cool.
"Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name."
In which case, you have a completely untestable proposition. If you can deny any counterclaim by saying "the Fall screwed things up", your argument is useless and irrelevant scientifically.
Most of the PowerMac G4 desktop models (including my 2001 "digital audio") are actually quite loud. On the bright side, the fans are standard size and easily replaced.
No, that would be one foot in the living past (FreeBSD) and one foot in the dead past (Mach). Mach is considered a bad kernel design by both theorists and developers. The only reason Apple used it instead of a plain BSD kernel is Avie Tevanian and the NIH syndrome.
This is such classic "Think of the Children" fever hysteria. And there is a simple solution. Some enterprising game hacker needs to release a mod for the Left Behind Trivia Game that causes it to display explicit hardcore porn photos.
Either the crazy censors will go much too far and try to ban all video games, or maybe just maybe they will realize that THERE IS NO WAY FOR A COMPANY TO CONTROL WHAT OTHER PEOPLE DO TO/WITH THEIR PRODUCTS.
Um... we DID bomb Canter & Siegel into oblivion, at least in terms of DDoS. I personally participated in the reply blast. Indirect.com was offline for a solid week trying to clean up the mess.
But it didn't matter; C&S flanked us. They went to the media, who ate up their tale of daring new entrepreneurs being hounded by jealous hackers.
768 should be considered the MINIMUM for running Tiger smoothly (vs 512 for Panther). And if he keeps a fair number of apps open all day, he'll need more than that.
That's a circular argument, based on falsehood. "We treat intelligence differently because we think intelligence is different". No, it's affected by environment and exercise just like physical fitness.
You can't tell people they're dumb and then expect them to respect the achievements of the uber-intelligent.
How is this so different from American culture constantly telling people they're fat/awkward/unattractive/etc, yet they fawn over the achievements of athletes and actresses?
Lord Steve may seem insane, but if so, one of his disorders is obsessive-compulsive. He would not pull such a major change as switching to Intel unless he had a thick contract in hand with every i dotted and t crossed.
If this theory is in fact the plan (for large values of if) then it's not just hope. It would be written in stone.
Yeah, it's like the Loma Prieta earthquake in California. I remember the TV showing live helicopter cam of a collapsed double-decker highway (aka dozens/hundreds of squashed cars) and Peter Jennings is doing a voiceover that there are "no confirmed casualties". It's a worse-than-useless phrase.

And of course, Macheads note the phrase "performance per watt".
awesome. it matches eleventyone!
But not Eleventeen, sadly.

Here's a few you might have heard of:
- Mac OS X (duh)
- FreeBSD
- NetBSD
- OpenBSD
- Yellow Dog
- Fedora (RHL)
- Debian
- Gentoo
And starting in 2006 models:Go to Loews (or your favorite locally-owned hardware store) and buy a stud/wire finder. It takes out a whole lot of guesswork.

I'd rather have it in black or metal though.

No, slavery is so passe. The new Godwin is 9-11, Al-Qaida, and Osama Bin Laden.
But I think we could still get away with saying Canada had issued a Fatwa against readers.
