I am glider pilot, flying in heights of only up to 3000 metres.. it's quite difficult to make a call in 1000 metres or above. It happened once that my phone rang in 1500 metres, but I've never managed to call someone from up there. Signal indicator says signal is great, but no calls possible. Strange.. (I have tried that on GSM nets in Germany and Sweden)
a kilogram of lead is heavier - it has a smaller volume, thus it has less buoyancy (hope I have translated this strange word correctly using dict.leo.org, I'm German;))
that lead/feathers joke is old, and ppl who think both weight the same think they are clever but in fact are NOT:)
I'm German, and for me, this document sounds like a word-by-word translation from English... there must be an English version somewhere floating around.
Nothing too interesting in here, others in this thread said it already.

strange, my P2-350 (yes 350 MHz) with 128 MB SD-RAM (100 MHz) did CS dedicated servers very well with 10-20 players, running linux. At the same time, it was router, DHCP, DNS etc.
NetHack is cool because you can play it at work

NetHack is cool because you can play it at work... nobody will notice you're playing a game, it just looks like ascii/binary garbage..:)
SPACE SHUTTLE COLUMBIA DEBRIS!
well this one is really fake, i checked the coordinates and that's located 5 km from my home. It's near Cologne, Germany. But funny! The current high bid is USD 99Million. Well, the bidder is also fake?
What a bunch of idiots. Why didn't you call it, say, Mozilla Lite?
Don't you know the importance of brand recognition?
Oh, where to begin. First of all, it's not "lite." Not only does Phoenix
aim to match the featureset of Mozilla -- subtracting features deemed geeky
and better offered as add-ons -- but it extends it. For example, it
adds customizable toolbars and quicksearch in bookmarks and history. It
offers an add-on manager, a better wallet, and a new downloads sidebar pane.
Second, it's not Mozilla. It's backed by mozilla.org, sure, but with each
milestone you'll see it further diverge from Mozilla.
Third, "Mozilla" is not the name of an application; it is the name of a
monolithic suite containing a browser, a mail client, an irc client, and an
indoor skating rink (we hear that's coming, anyways.) Even if we did decide
to call this browser Mozilla, we'd still have to call the standalone mail
client (see below) something else. We also believe Mozilla, in general, is
going in the wrong direction in terms of bloat and UI, and see no reason for
our releases to carry those connotations.
nice too see that Opera took the chance to get into this new market. Of course, M$ now tries to displace them, like they did with Netscape years ago. I hope Opera gets the fair chance they deserve.
OTOH, I really wonder why it is so difficult for M$ to rule the mobile market - can you remember when you first heard about Windows CE? Not much happened in all the years, although M$ is throwing a lot of money at it.
I agree, make (plus autoconf, automake) is more flexible, and I love it for C software. Ant doesn't have loops, and I really hate it for its IF/ELSE syntax. Still, for all of my Java software, I use Ant.
For make, you need a Unix environment (tar, gzip, make, a shell etc.) - which should not be required for a Java project which also needs its own platform. For Windows users, it's hard enough to install the Java platform, now deal with *another* platform only for building?
nobody said abstraction is bad. Joel didn't mention he wants to make TCP go away from this world. He just said that if you want to really understand TCP, you have to understand IP.
TCP is an abstraction layer above IP, it sends IP packets, which the other side puts together to a TCP stream. UDP has nothing to do with TCP - it's just another protocol that uses IP to send packets.
Joel wanted to show IP as "one layer below" TCP, as TCP is based on IP. UDP has similar properties as IP, but TCP is not based on UDP.
to compile Java files, jikes is the fastest and IMHO the best. But if you're doing more, like generating javadocs, whitebox tests or running other stuff to build your project, Ant is really good for Java stuff because it boots the JVM only once. Count how many times you boot a JVM for a full build with make. Java execution may be slooooooow, but starting a JVM ten times in a row is even slower.
i'm glider pilot in my free time, and i can tell you:
to increase altitude, you pull the control column, i.e. you turn the nose of the plane UP. but you can only gain altitude of this if your plane has got enough kinetic energy which can be converted into height.
if you don't have enough kinetic energy, your plane stalls, and it won't work (to say it simple). so you need to add energy by giving more gas (if you've got an engine - in my glider, i don't have one;))

sure you can if you're logged in
hm, I think I read somewhere that IPsec came from IPv6 and was backported to IPv4. I would google now and provide links if I didn't have to work now..
erm, the absolute zero-level of temperature is at 0 Kelvin, that's about -273 deg celsius. You can't go below, it's a physical law.

I guess you have got one of these

BIND - serving remote shells since 1986 ;)
mozilla's textarea has always been very buggy.
whatever the password is, if you guess a password or the password is published on a web site or whatever, it's a crime to use it.
the root access is not for you, you must not use it by law.
it's like not locking your house - nobody may enter your house without your permissions, regardless of the lock in your door.

I always configure qwertz for my family, and when I want to have qwerty or dvorak, I use xmodmap to reconfigure the keyboard on the fly.
You can find many xmodmap files for dvorak and others in google.
