Exactly. I have a 256-processor system down in my basement, that I built in 1988-89. Composed of Size 1 (9.3 cm x 2.7 cm) TRAMs (TRAnsputer Modules), each node had a 25 MHz T805 and 4 MB RAM. Each transputer had four 20 Mbit/s bidirectional serial links. Starting with a single processor connected to the host PC, a downloaded program would follow the defined link topology to boot and program each processor in turn.
Hardware-wise, it looks like the system described in the article really only trumps the transputer by virtue of the reconfigurable power sub-system. The transputer was a fantastic bit of engineering.
The Germans did us an even bigger favor. Y'know how a really good friend tries to stop a drunk buddy from hurting himself? "Hey, bud, you're drunk -- that's probably a bad idea." That was the Germans during the Iraq war -- they tried to warn the USA (metaphorically drunk with a corrupt/incompetent administration) that we were about to do something stupid. Not our fault that we didn't listen.
Sure, the German government behavior didn't have anything to do with their many strong ties to Hussein nor the corruption involved in the oil-for-food program and sixty-something German companies.
In addition, I really can't see how people can try to continue to paint the Iraq War as some sort of failure. It seems to me that it was incredibly successful, with an average U.S. casualty rate that is close to or lower than that of the general military during peacetime in the 1980's. During the three-day Battle of Gettysburg, there were more than 10 times as many American casualties as there have been during the entire Iraq War.
Inmos use formal systems to assist in the design of the T800 transputer's floating-point unit. This happened about the same time as the 486 floating-point failures were getting publicity. Inmos claimed that they had been able to develop the unit so quickly because of their approach. As I recall, they first proved that their occam implementation of the floating-point spec was correct (done for an integer-only transputer) and then used automated translation to convert the code into Z (a machine-description language). The T800 was a remarkable microprocessor for its time.
As you might expect, quite a bit less than the Democrats. Even during the post 9/11 period when Republicans were in control of Congress and the Presidency, I've read [citation needed] that Democrat-sponsored spending bills far, far outstripped the Republican-sponsored spending bills. And now, with Democrats in control of both branches, they've made the Republicans look like pikers in regards to spending.
But the judge held that the torrent files are accessories to the main crime of copyright infringement.... That makes them tainted and illegal
By this reasoning, a page that holds a link to a torrent, would also be illegal. Therefore, a page that holds a link to a page that holds a link to a torrent would be illegal. Furthemore, a page that holds a link...
I have the Brother MFC-420CN All-In-One Printer and it prints and scans fine. I haven't looked at the faxing, as I don't even have a phone line hooked up to it; but, Brother seems to do a decent job with linux drivers. They supply both rpms and debs.

It would seem to me that the purpose of monitoring a volcano would be to warn people in the immediate area, and not to be able to alert people in distant area that an ash cloud might be heading their way. The eruption itself would be enough of a warning of the possibility of the arrival of an ash cloud from a long distance away.
I wonder if, in the far distant future, Microsoft will have to reinvent themselves as Apple to compete with Linux. In other words, Windows won't be selling to OEMs anymore, so Microsoft will have to develop a premium hardware/software brand of their own.
I don't get it, where do you people get that everyone thought of Obama as a messiah? I don't know anyone that did and I know a lot of people that voted for him.
It appears that you checked on whether there is a pattern on any article where a Senator was mentioned. The poster mentioned that he observed it happening when the senator is "in the hot seat."
On you latest product, how will the modifications that are provided back to you by the GPL folk handled? Are they then made available to the commercial users for a fee? Or would you expect them to be made available with the same type of dual-license and they would get some of the revenue? That doesn't seem feasible, but the alternative doesn't seem fair, either.
The theory is lacking because it doesn't take Galactus into account. Obviously, there are fewer ET civilizations around than expected, because Galactus has been devouring them.

Absolutely correct. It amazes me that anyone (except a Union organizer, or someone directly benefiting from a Union organizer) would support this bill. Democrats and Republicans all need to fight this.
I'd be interested to hear arguments in favor of the elimination of the secret ballot.
This is incredibly lame. People are claiming that she used a private account to avoid the archiving of emails related to official business. Yet, the evidence of that, is that she sent emails to official addresses -- which, of course, would be archived. Thus, the email archive is preserved.
"They have the balls to claim Democrats will spend more when they currently hold the record for spending!"
There was an author on Medved several months back who addressed this. He pointed out that, while yes, the Republicans did expand spending, if you look at the actual bills that were proposed during the 2000-2004, the average Democrat proposed spending that was nearly ten times what the average Republican proposed.
Take it for what you will, however, I'll never be able to find a citation for that.
That's pretty lame and argues my point. If she was trying to skirt the archive laws, then she would have used an anonymous account, instead of an email address that would easily be identified in a search using her name.

Quite. I googled "gram" and none of the top results mentioned sodium chloride. Something needs to be done about that.
But in the end, they'll meet the same fate as the dinos.

So, yes it does seem to be a local issue.

The Bush administration cost America something like $15 Trillion in lost equity value in just its last 4 months.
Oh really? The lame duck Bush did that, or the Democrats who came to power two years ago?
IMHO, removing the notion of desktop icon files is just broken. It should at least be an option.
It is an option in 4.2 (if I'm understanding your meaning).
