The only way to get them is to use hebrew words in the original hebrew manuscript.
Doofus. Much of the Torah was actually written in Aramaic. The rest was likely translated into Aramaic at some point then turned back into Hebrew. Every currently available version of the Bible is a translation. Here's a link.
This was published in a statistic journal (not sure which).
Of course, this has nothing to do with this Quantum Computation story, except that it's vaguely related to Israel, and it's a crock too. QC is thankfully a ways off yet. But yes, if it works, QC could crack a key of arbitrary length in microseconds.
The Newton's philosophy was to make the handwriting recognition better. The Palm Pilot's philosophy was to condition the user. Which one worked well enough for non-geeks to buy?
Actually, Newton OS v2 had excellent recognition. The real reason that Palm won is that the Newton was too heavy, didn't fit in your pocket (or a small hand), cost too much, and did more than most people needed. If Apple had made a Newton Jr...well that's Palm in a nutshell.
Of course, this entire thread is irrelevant to the Congressional spam question. No matter what email app the end users had, this still would have happened because 1) the original spam was sent off-topic to a large mailing list and 2) the list was an auto-reflector, causing a counter-spam cascade. It's a design that's bound to incur spam flooding every so often.
I love to blame M$ and spammers for the world's evils as much as anyone here, but this case was really just a dumb accident. On the bright side, it gave a boost to anti-spam bills.
Perhaps I am wrong, but won't this technology be used for the proposed missile defence system in Japan, South Korea and perhaps Taiwan?
Unfortunately, yes you're wrong. US allies on the Pacific Rim would gain zero benefit from an "Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle". Well, maybe epsilon benefit.
At close range (under a hundred miles) ballistic missiles are unnessary. China or North Korea could easily use more standard missiles (including ship/aircraft based) or even large artillery shells. Star Wars defenses won't help against that.
Star Trek has done so much to encourage the imagination of scientists, but it also destroys the scientific literacy of non-scientists. Dark matter is definitely one of the casualties.
"Dark Matter" is a loose term referring to mass in the universe that should exist but has not been accounted for yet. The last time I studied astronomy, two of the biggest theories were WIMPs (unknown subatomic particles) and MACHOs (planet-sized junk out in the void). An excellent essay on the subject is available at Berkeley.
i wonder if they considered the gravity of the asteroid belt in their calculations.
Any astrophysicist who neglected the mass of asteroids, Oort, etc, would be a public laughingstock and unable to show their face in public for a long time. BTW, at reasonably large distances, the gravitation for any collection of objects (such as the asteroid belt, or the entire solar system for that matter) is identical to the sum of their masses located at their center of mass. The calculations are high school AP physics/calc, no big deal.
How do you ping something from a mac? erm. there's a COMMERCIAL PACKAGE that can do it.. sheesh.
First off, how many ordinary end users ever need PING? Definitely less than 5%, possibly less than 1%. I use it, but I'm a web geek & spam hunter.
Second, you don't know Mac. Among many other freeware options, WhatRoute does Ping, Query, Whois, Finger & Trace.
Sounds to me like the article was written by a mac advocate trying to get linux users to use macs.
Umm...no. The quote you grabbed in order to make that bogus assertion was an interview snip from 'Clif Marsiglio, a musician and self-described "pseudo-geek" who uses both platforms', not from the article's author. Why are you trying to twist words? Sounds to me like you're an irrational Mac hater.
The point of Linux is that you can customize everything, but at the expense of convenience. The point of MacOS is almost the opposite. The comparison isn't even close to apples & oranges, it really is more like apples & penguins.
I imagine the Indians and Pakistanis will be the ones most in need of these kind of defense systems
Actually, it would be a really bad thing if either India or Pakistan got any plausible missile defense. The schools probably don't teach it any more, but mutual deterrence is alive and well. Game theory & military strategy easily demonstrate that if you feel safe from counter-attack, it makes you much more likely to strike first.
BTW, this still applies to the US. We're not particularly worried about Iraqis or Serbs or Indonesians invading America, so we're willing to go smack them, if the opinion polls support it.
I mean, you'd think the Best configuration would sport the most colours and such
Nah. Two colors would be plenty for "Best" -- blueberry (for fun folk) & graphite (for the serious). The low end machine should only be blueberry, to encourage up-buying if you really want tangerine...
a good 6x/40x DVD is only $100 and a 48x CD is $80... What's 20 bucks
Not quite. The low end machine can use the current iMac CD mechanism, which costs Apple much less than $80 and definitely more than $20 savings over DVD.
I just hope its similar to ATI's Rage 128 Pro for the PC... *shrug*
90% likely that Apple will use either Rage LT Pro or Rage 128 Pro. The current iMac uses basically the same motherboard as the current PowerBook G3. The new iMac will probably borrow a current unified board design with AGP -- Sawtooth (128) or iBook (LT).
Bingo. Everyone here knows what a Usenet troll is, and that's exactly the model Dvorak tries to emulate. Pissed off techies come to ZDNet to yell at him, but all he cares about is hit count for the advertisers.
As always, the best response to any troll is ignore him, and don't visit his page. He'll stop being an ass when his ratings sag, but not one minute sooner.
