Once a sole company dominates the marketplace as thoroughly as Microsoft today or IBM a few decades ago, the sensible corporate types and the trade press hardly bother with the competitors.
Who cares whether Control Data or Burroughs or Amdahl makes better computers than IBM? They can't win. Who cares whether the Mac OS or Linux is better the Windows? They can't win.
This shows two things: 1) Control Data no longer exists, Amdahl isn't doing so well after being absorbed by Fujitsu, and Burroughs merged with Sperry to form Unisys (which, as of 12/2006 is in the red).
I'd wait until human trials before getting too excited. The article is short on details, but this tidbit is interesting:
They also discovered that their treatments curbed the insulin resistance that is the hallmark of Type 2 diabetes, and that insulin resistance is a major factor in Type 1 diabetes, suggesting the two illnesses are quite similar.
Insulin resistance in type 1 diabetes? It'd be nice if they linked to the published article, unless they haven't published it yet.
I don't know what's worse: that he's being jailed for 3 months for "distribustion" or that people actually wanted to download Daredevil, Miss Congeniality, and Red Planet.
The fiance's father bought 2 while he was over in China. It's decent for use as just a music player. It mounts as a regular flash drive, but the player needs to be turned on first. The interface itself takes some getting used to, but it is still usable. There are several games on the machine and it can record sound, which is pretty useful. So it's a gamble, but it's only $50. Have fun with it!
The Wii has the lowest specifications of this console generation and it's already documented that the OS X kernel is slower than others such as Linux, which would be a better fit. Although a custom game-specific OS kernel would probably be even better.
I don't tailgate people just for kicks. I do tailgate them when they're going the wrong speed in the wrong lane, and refuse to get over... especially the ones that get pissy when you flash them.
Diagnosis is usually the easy part. Prognosis, however, is a little harder to predict. Sure there are usually the benign ones where you have to be very unlucky for it to do any harm (eg basal cell carcinoma). We already have good statistics on the most common cancers with regard to morbidity/mortality with and without treatment. If you have grade 1 endometrial carcinoma, take the uterus out and you're most likely cured. If you have grade 4 astrocytoma, it's basically a death sentence. So I don't think these computer simulations of tumor behavior will really be of much help. Although the article does touch upon microenvironment issues, which sound promising if they can be adequately controlled for those tumors in the middle of the malignancy spectrum.
I'd rather have an integrated 386 and maybe 1-6 MB of memory. That way I can see if the motherboard works without having to plug in a processor, and most motherboards already come with on-board video anyway. I don't understand why no one else has done this since a 386 is only about 300,000 transistors - barely anything in the transistor budget.
China also supports widespread censorship of the internet and press. Freedom of speech does not exist in China. Steven Chen is promoting and supporting a China where freedom of speech doesn't exist and an e-mail can get you 10 years.
Guess who also supports them? Cisco, Yahoo, Microsoft, Google, IBM, etc...
There is also evidence the Chinese reverse engineered a Cray. Chen is no different from Chinese technicians trying to steal chip designs and fly back to China after working at an American company and the blueprints.
It's also quoted in the article that the guy desigend some of Cray's supercomputers. So who's stealing from who?
Not quite. The best way to test this is if you enter the command-line directly by either going into single-user mode or editing the/etc/ttys since these methods don't load Aqua at all. If you use the >console method, I don't think the system unloads Aqua from memory.
But you're better off using something else (eg some Linux variant, BSD, etc.)
However, if you really want to try, do the following:
1) open/etc/ttys. The first two lines that begin with "console" has one which is commented out. Uncomment that one and comment out the second one. Now the next time you reboot, you'll enter the console directly
2) Install XDarwin, which can be started from the command-line as opposed to the X that Apple provides which can only be started alongside Aqua.

This isn't the first time that Time hasn't picked one or a small group of people for person of the year:
1950: The American Fighting-Man
1960: U.S. scientists
1969: The Middle Americans
1982: The Computer
1988: Endangered Earth
2003: The American Soldier
This shows two things:
1) Control Data no longer exists, Amdahl isn't doing so well after being absorbed by Fujitsu, and Burroughs merged with Sperry to form Unisys (which, as of 12/2006 is in the red).
2) Monopolies don't last forever.
Why was the parent modded up? Alexander Chase is no worse than James Tiberious Kirk, Jean-Luc Picard, Kathyrn Janeway, Benjamin Sisko, etc.

Make some games based on the eschatology of other religions.
Great although I'd like an English version since I haven't learned how to read Danish, Estonian, Slavic, etc.
Apparently in Utah you can be both a sex offender and a victim at age 13 for the same thing.
I'm using Debian and got both via apt-get. They're definitely separate binaries.

Indeed. That's why I use Minix as my operating system, vi as my word processor, and links as my web browser. Come and get me, you bastards!!!
What's more interesting is that the card is actually a single-board computer with PowerPC processor and 64 MB of RAM!

Just like their last one. BTW, isn't the console market getting a little crowded already?
So, in other words, you're part of the problem.

More likely they're overworked and underpaid.

Have fun, but it's not really that interesting.
Isn't that what the "+1 underrated" is for?
There is still the issue of actually obtaining a Playstation3 for such purposes...
