You're damn right I'm quoting their material. Especially since there was no click-through license agreement. This information is publicly available and published. This is not the same issue as before at all. Microsoft has never before made a stink about quoting them when it wasn't a `trade secret.' And more importantly, I support those other poster's in what they did, and I would have done the same.
Please please please, someone tell me this guy has the good sense to make two of these rockets and launch a sack of potatos or sandbags or something on the first flight. That darwin awards post is right. An obvious candidate, especially if he doesn't do any test flights.
I understand the electronic implications of a couple watts of radio energy being exerted on the wiring of these older planes.. but what about other devices?
Last time I was on a plane, the announcement was to turn off "all electronic devices," including cell phones, pagers, walkmen/CD players, laptops, etc. What is the danger of these other devices that are not radio transmitters?
Could my little HP48 possibly cause electronic interference in a plane's wiring? Seems a little excessive to me.
Then again, on a plane with hundreds of people's lives at stake, I can certainly understand erring on the side of safety!

This is neat, and might have uses in VR type simulations, but I'm not sure it'll work well with computer games. The most successful games have a layer of abstraction in their interface, which brings the game-world away from the real world. If that layer is removed, to many people, it becomes more than a game.
Some might think this is desirable, but I believe it could be dangerous. This goes back to that whole "Doom made me such an efficient killer" arguemnt. I'm not sure what the result of something like this would be, but it could be something we're not expecting.
I'm 22. I'm a moderate space geek. I know about skylab. Skylab was damn cool. The whole idea of an orbiting space station is awesome. I hope some good shit comes out of the new international station like it did from skylab. That russian/american docking will probably be in the history books for a long time.
Of course, this would never function for anything in a low earth orbit or even in geosync, due to the requirements for enough fuel to escape our orbit, but there's might be at least a few satellites barely in orbit such that a maximum burn of all reserved fuel in a given direction would allow escaping our orbit entirely.
Satellites have rocket fuel on board? That doesn't seem right to me.
I also wonder about the cost of repairing it.. That is, if there is still useful research to be done with it. Could have the shuttle swing by on its next loop around, no?
I guess NASA weighed the cost of keeping it going versus the potential benefit. I don't know how long this satelite has been up there, or how much more could be done with it, but I guess with NASA's tightened budget, it wasn't worth it.
Anyone know any more details about the satelite and gamma-ray research? I'm curious.
I think there is a big question here. While I do see the merits of this on a small scale (ie. for a habitat of astronauts on a mission, etc.), there are serious questions about possibly doing this on a large scale.
Eventually, people are going to want to do this to the entire atmosphere of Mars to make it breathable. What will happen then? Should an undertaking like that be considered? Should we totally alter a foreign planet and bring it away from its natural state? What would the result be?
While today this may seem like science fiction (Aliens, Total Recall, etc.), it won't be all that long before this kind of thing becomes a real possibility.
I see. So wouldn't the 3D card be a better place to do this? Then you don't need some expensive monitor. Any monitor would do.. Or maybe it would be limited to flat (CRT/LCD) monitors. Either way, seems like an odd way to go about it.
Ok, I've heard this thing called OS X (pronounced 'ecks') as well as OS 10 (pronounced 'ten'). Which is the proper way? Can any of you Apple-heads out there help me out?
Also, unrelated.. Why does the new OS X GUI not support the X-Windows System? Its great that they have a BSD backend, but you'd think they would support X so they could take advantage of the multitude of cross-platform applications developed for UNIX and X so many years.
Granted, those applications probably don't meet Apple's idea of UI design, but it would be good if the users had the option to run those apps.
Also, will the BSD backend allow you to not run the Apple GUI and instead run an X server? ie, does it have framebuffer or whatever support?
This is not intended to be flamebait or incendiary material. I just don't know too much about Apple's rationale behind OS X and the new GUI.
Did anyone besides me notice that this reply is attached to the wrong post? This isn't the first time I've noticed this happening since the server change.
It is currently attached to #26, but looks like it should be attached to #12. Does anyone know if this is a bug in slashcode or just a mistake by the poster?
My guess is that they simply queried for the names "Metallica", parsed the search results, and queried each request to get the username holding the song. Rinse and repeat for each Napster server. It's not like you don't already know the username when you download an mp3.
This is no better. There is no way that they could prove that what was contained in those files was Metallica's studio recorded music. Who knows if they are live personal recordings or even huge text files renamed to.mp3...
VW already releases a diesel every year that gets 50-60mpg(golf).
I have the original version of that diesel engine you speak of. VW calles it the TDI. Turbo Direct Injection. It uses fuel injectors mounted in the combusion chamber wall, removing the intake valve entirely.
My '96 TDI Passat has an inline 4 at 1.9 liters and is rated at 43 mpg highway. The car is significantly heavier than the Golf, so the difference isn't a big surprise. I've actually gotten up to 47 mpg highway going 55-65 mph. I usually drive about 80-90 mph on highways though, and the mileage drops to about 38 mpg.
The engine only puts out about 95 horsepower, and redlines at about 4250 rpm. But it does have quite a bit of low-end torque, 150 ft-lbs at about 2000 rpm. Don't get me wrong, its not a fast car by any means. However, it does decently against most other 4 cylinder sedans.
The later versions of the TDI engine are more fuel efficient and have better performance too.
I've heard that VW had a 5 cylinder version available in Europe and is working on a V6 version. The TDI has been selling rather well in Europe, as gasoline prices are very high there. In the U.S., there aren't so many.
The reason that the car runs efficiently is that the direct injection allows the spray of fuel to be directed and controlled. A bowl-shaped cutout in the head causes the fuel to swirl in a heavily-concentrated area in the center of the cylinder while at the edges there is less fuel. The better overall fuel-air ratio is what makes it more efficient.
The reason that one can't normally achieve the ratio is that the fuel wouldn't ignite if it was evenly distributed at that ratio. The swirling of the fuel allows the ratio at the center to be enough to ignite, while that at the edge brings the overall fuel-air ratio down to more efficent levels.
I believe Mitsubishi or Toyota is experimenting with direct-injection gasoline engines. Anyone know how their progress is?
Actually, the low-K dielectrics make the electromigration worse, not better. EM effectively causes pressure inside the 'downstream' (positive) end of the wire, where aluminum atoms pile up and press against the surrounding dielectric. All of the proposed low-K dielectrics are physically weaker than silicon dioxide, and thus the EM limit is lower.
Do you think that this will effect the overclockability of chips produced with this technology?

Is there a MPEG-4 player available for linux? Does MPEG-TV support it? The listed files are
Thanks

Wow, MS is recommending interoperability with Solaris using GCC! Personally, I never thought I'd live to see this.

My Celeron @ 450 does 897.84 bogomips (according to 2.3.99-pre6). 900 million ops per second doesn't sound all that fast any more.
As a side note, with 2.2.14, linux reported my CPU was about 450 bogomips. Anyone know why there was the change?
Regardless, with today's gigahertz processors, 900 million ops per second is certainly no better that what we already have.
Don't get me wrong, it sounds like interesting technology. Could produce very flexible chips, but I don't see a real speed gain here.
