Oh, I didn't know about that. In that case they're getting close to being cheap enough then. If only someone wanted to buy them... I doubt that IBM's shareholders would like it much though.
It's a possibility, but my point still stands. She didn't accomplish anything by simply getting pissed off after two weeks and leaving.
If she were treated harshly in regards to grading, that's easily provable. Then would be the time to take the issue to the department head, principal, school board, whatever. My point is that simply getting pissed off and being bitter about the situation doesn't accomplish anything besides making one feel sorry for herself.
So your answer was to get pissed off and leave? Very intelligent, I'm sure you changed your teacher's preconceptions of women in his class.
Perhaps you could have stayed, done all of the work, aced every exam and finished first in the class? That would be too dignified though, I guess. Yes, you must fight the system! Get pissed off when you're treated unfairly! That's the way to change people's minds and make them think that you're worthy of their respect and attention.
While you need a large mass, it doesn't need to be an asteroid.. the elevator itself would have to extend far enough to counterbalance itself. The tricky part is getting the construction process started... you'd need to send up a very long, thin strand of the stuff in a space shuttle (several trips I'd imagine, it has to be thick enough not to break under its own force) and extend it at equal speeds in both directions until it goes far enough to be teathered to the earth and stay there- then your construction vehicle that crawls up and down to add to the shaft needs to be incredibly light so as to not pull it down. I suppose you could put the ISS in a higher orbit and use it as a temporary counterbalance, but that's pretty dangerous- if the shaft fails the ISS would fly away.:)
Really, we don't have the technology yet and won't for at least 10 years. Carbon nanotube technology is still in its infancy.
I don't believe the demand is the reason for the premium price for SCSI, but the hardware... It's just more expencive to make.
Actually, many companies make identical ide and scsi versions of the same hard drive- identical except the controller. The only thing that makes the scsi controller on the drive more expensive than its ide counterpart is that *far* frewer are made, which drives up production costs and ultimatly the cost of the drive it's put onto. If the volume of scsi hardware reached that of ide, it would be just as cheap to produce and sell.
Ok, but my point still stands.. the poster is trying to make a conspiracy theory out of nothing. Eugenia isn't covertly trying to boost RedHat's stock price or anything through this article. The only mention of RedHat is "Comparing this distro to Lycoris Build50 beta or the latest Red Hat Null beta, well, it does not look as sexy or good-looking". I don't see any terrible bias in that, do you?
They don't, unless you consider this or this to be like Windows 98. The only similarity I see is that it has windows, menus, buttons, images and text. (If it didn't, it wouldn't be much of a window manager would it?)
KDE and GNOME can look like windows if you want, but they don't have to. By default those two resemble it, but that's because that look is most familiar to people and in general its a decent design.
Aye, but he's not the man who founded OSNews, nor is he the man who's currently in charge. In fact, he didn't even write the article- that person is Eugenia Loli-Queru of BeNews fame.

Sorry dude, I must have been extreamly dense and crabby that day. :-/
You've got a uid >500,000 and you're bragging? Wow.
I kinda figured nt myself, but OS X runs apache quite well, so who knows...
Oh, I didn't know about that. In that case they're getting close to being cheap enough then. If only someone wanted to buy them... I doubt that IBM's shareholders would like it much though.
When their stock drops below $5.
Oh, wait...
Uh, when their stock merges 10 to 1 and then drops below $5.
The company still has a market cap of $10 billion, which, considering the company's growth potential and nonexistant dividends, is imho nuts.
Sad, but true. I'm too much of an optimist I guess. :-/
Hey! Insensitive bastard! :)

It's all about the analytical thinking skills, which are generally very important for CS folks. Math proves that you have them.
If he thinks that it's art, it's art to him.

Ha, ha, ha.. ha.... ha.
Oooh boy, you crack me up.
Here's a mirror.

1. Novell makes software and nVidia makes graphics hardware. Neither do networking or especially wireless networking hardware.
2. Resonance kills signals dead in its tracks (that's how faraday's cages work).
3. If it were possible, it would have been thought of and implimented already.
4. Nice troll.
Here's a mirror of the video (the 35mb version).

So no, nothing fishy here.
Speak all you want, but talk doesn't keep a company afloat or make the managment more competent.
It's what? During it is suit? Hmm.
Yes, I know they do that quite a bit. It's a business tactic and it works quite well for them.
What I was asking proof of is: "they charged a rescuer something like $130 for some bottled water for the WTC victims."
