To make the second phase more realistic, you should just put the data from the compact flash card (remember, it's not tied to the media in any way, you can transfer it without loss) in an unused partition of your HDD (digital attic equivalent), the way I keep all the data from the old PC's HDD.
If you don't specifically exclude it, a proper backup scheme should even preserve it over destruction of the machine.
5¼" floppies? No problem, I copied them all to my HDD before I gave the old machine to my grandmother, then made a full backup of all the HDD's content to my new computer's HDD, where it still resides (quite painless with a typical order-of-magnitude jump).
clue: with every new console, Nintendo issued a Mario universe game that rocked (for the time). As people seem to be complaining about it being too short, it's probably one of the weaker ones.
In Athens, it was indeed based on people being qualified - those who participated were far from all the population, and they lost their rights if they didn't take sides in any given issue (probably well nigh solving the problem of "I don't care" decisions).
This is a great idea. I would pay a yearly fee for a web-configurable forward that would allow me to forward someaccount@slashdot.org to whatever email address I was reading that week. I have yet to find a reliable web service to do this.
Did you look? There are services that do this for free, and reliable, too. I've been using www.gmx.net for ages, they've got a huge market share in.de (so they need to have some infrastructure) and only once did they lose mail stored there (well, that's once too many, but you said you just want a forwarder, which they provide).
Of course, they don't give you an @slashdot.org address, which would still be a nice idea:o)
yes, you can hire a bunch of developers to continue it for you, but the cost of that, both financially and in terms of time and energy, can be way WAY prohibitive.
Really? Why? Imagine you have adopted program x because it suits your needs. Later its maintainer abandoned it, no one else cares. Still later, you need an update/modification. Why?
bugfix: You stumble upon a bug, your programmer fixes it, goes back to his normal tasks (or you hire an external programmer)
incompatibility to an environment of newer programs: It's probably a bit more work to get a new interface to the old program, but you have the original code to start from. While you're working at it, the older version should still work in the old environment (sure you didn't roll out an untested configuration without the option of downgrading again?).
you want that spiffy new whiz-bang feature: Either you can afford it, or you can do without it. Remember - the program still works the way it did when you first selected it.
If the project was abandoned, chances are there is another program that would better suit you - now how can you migrate to that? See "incompatibility"!
On slashdot at least they could have chosen a better title to this story - something along the lines of "another prophet of LInux doom" (LInux intentionally double-capitalized;o) would have been more to the point.
What I see in this article is that its author hasn't really grasped the concept and the possibilities of the bazaar.
He does not see sense in simultaneously developing in both directions (desktop and server) at once, quoting some BA guru's advice for individual innovators, thinking that server development must be hurt by any work directed to the desktop.
The opposite is true. Improving desktop usefulness draws more people over, eventually leading to more developers, provides more interesting programming opportunities, eventually leading to more developers, facilitates entry into programming, eventually leading to more developers, and generates more computer literacy, in the long term - did you guess it? - eventually leading to more developers.
Also he says the real enemy is commercial UNIX, which current development is not directed to overthrow. Does he realize that LInux is gaining market share at the expense of commercial UNIX right now (sorry, no link now, but it's recently been on/.)?
Don't listen - his points are irrelevant to the real world of LInux. Just see to it that you improve whatever appeals to you (and your skills), it will all help achieve world domination.;o)
There is, however, something called "third-party software suppliers" that could lead to entirely non-MS software running on WINE. Interestingly, this may not require an MS license.
If they had a solution measuring the actual oil quality, then it would not need a reset after an oil change. We can be pretty sure it just applies some standard rules-of-thumb wrt mileage and/or time elapsed.
On the other hand, big USian corporations are known to have benefitted from data collected by US intelligence. If they expect their European competition to use encryption software legal for use in the US, laws facilitating espionage might appeal to them.
Here in Germany, well-known computer magazine c't (dead tree category) offers a free PGP key certification service on business fairs like CeBit (next chance is on Munich "Systems", Oct. 15-19) in order to promote cryptography.
We're talking the kind of users with difficulties installing windows. They're not supposed to do it. You can do it for them, or if they don't want to rely on a friend taking on any trouble, they could even pay someone to do it. Once it is set up properly, you only really need to change things when dramatic security holes are discovered (the kind that would be dangerous regardless of a restrictive firewall - when did that last happen?). In fact, all they need to know is 1.) how to click the right button 2.) who to turn to if something weird (oh ****, obviously I read/. too much - I nearly overlooked "wierd"! - but then I am not a native speaker) happens.
Gradually, and if they want to, you can let them discover the wealth of programs and documentation you installed on their system...
a single fiber (with a bit of protection around it)
a bundle of 100 fibres (same strength each) with a corresponding encapsulation
what will happen? case
JRD doesn't even notice, happily digs on, disrupting the connection
even if he didn't notice the (comparatively thick) cable, some of it might withstand the initial attempts of digging through, so he will take a look to find out what's causing the trouble
All numbers to be scaled to appropriate values. Correct me if I'm wrong.
A variation was sold in Germany for many years (starting in the early 20s I believe) by Märklin, known more for model trains.[...]Unfortunately they apparently stopped making them.
You just dealt me a nasty shock - but it's true: Märklin (US homepage), famous manufacturer of the best model trains available, has stopped making Märklin Metall.
Then I found out here that this branch was basically just the german Meccano, stemming from their pre-WW1 european distribution contract for that system, so continued supply of parts shouldn't be a problem.
Anything is posted on slashdot. Actually, slashdot might be a good attempt at "a million monkeys on a million typewriters" - just try reading at -1. Not really, though, 'cause Natalie Portman, Britney Spears etc. appear far more often than statistics would predict. But then, maybe its just because the sample is too small yet.
Imagine: One day, the perfect OS kernel would appear hidden in all the trash. Another time, maybe, the Hurd (no, that's too
far-fetched;o).
