TFA specifically states they won't be using fiber, and they will be using mirrors. So fiber might be the answer, but probably not to the question at hand.
I disagree. Apache HTTP Server is software designed to host web sites, as such its reputation is based not on the websites it hosts, but on its reliability and performance in hosting them.
From the page about What Wikipedia is not, linked from the About Wikipedia page you linked in your first post, wikipedia is an online encyclopedia. As such, its purpose is to collect and disseminate information. If the information is not accurate, which have already admitted to believing, then the it develops a bad reputation for containing inaccurate information. I don't understand your position on this matter, as it doesn't say anywhere on any of those pages that "wikipedia is just a project to see if we can get a bunch of people to edit a website."
No one is saying that wikipedia is not what it claims to be...it has a bad reputation for this reason:
As for the content, of course the quality of it is questionable. If the quality of content is questionable, of course they have a bad reputation. Their reputation is based on the quality of the content. Almost 90% of the english language articles in wikipedia are are currently not well written, stable, accurate, referenced, and written from a neutral point of view according the guidelines for a "good article" in wikipedia.
Yeah, I would assume it's deeper than that. But I would also assume they could add enough variation in the signal they send that the animal could differentiate between the signals for different directions. I dunno, the article was very vague about the whole thing. I guess it's possible they just hooked electrodes up to the brains and monitored the signals getting sent when the bird flew in a given direction on it's own, then just reproduced them and pumped them in there strongly enough to override any the bird itself is trying to send. But, I could be completely off base here, seeing as I'm not a neurologist.
I dunno, I don't see it anywhere. arivanov up there seems pretty convinced that that's how it worked, though TFA specifically stated that the signals resembled the signals for movement. I was merely trying to clarify to our good friend cheater512 how pain could make something want to turn left.
Interesting... every app mentioned in the summary except Symantec AV has worked in Vista since before release, and there's now a working Symantec AV release. The only ones I can't speak for are the adobe apps, I've only used Reader in Vista so far.
That isn't what's happening here though. This is like saying that whenever someone purchases a vehicle, it could be used to drive faster than the speed limit, and as such a fine is charged for that infraction before it does or doesn't occur. Pretty ridiculous, no?
...why do we even still need record companies? When the only way to get your music out there was to mass-produce a physical product and then distribute and market it, yeah, it would have been virtually impossible for any band that didn't already have loads of money to survive. So, you get record companies. They distribute and market your songs, you go on making music, everybody gets paid. We're in the situation we're in now because artists couldn't survive without record companies, so the record companies made far too much money.
But that's not true anymore. Now, I could easily make your music available to literally millions of people for a few thousand dollars a year. We don't need record companies to wise up and start selling music online - we need artists to kick the record companies to the curb and start doing their own digital distribution. If you get a million visitors a year, and half of them buy one song at $0.10, hey, you just made $50,000.00. Okay, so half those people thought you sucked. Whatever, the other half liked the song and downloaded a full album for say, $1.25. That's over three hundred thousand dollars that you can take straight to the bank, laughing at the record company that told you your demo sucked a couple years ago all the way. If even a tenth of your 1 million visitors like you enough to buy your album, you're walking away with more money than I make in a year.
You know what? Who wants to start a band? Let's do it.
Not that it probably makes too much of a difference, but bear with me for just a minute here. I used to work at EB Games (before the gamestop merger, can't say whether or not this is still true). I can't say anything on walmart's policy, but when I was at EB there was a pretty simple policy in place... You don't sell an M rated game to a minor, or you're gone. I know that came from at least as high up as my district manager, who implied that it came from at least as high up as the regional manager, though I can't vouch for other parts of the counrty. Not only was this policy in place, but it was in place about a year before the hot coffee mod.
As much as some folks are right, and we Americans really do need to find someone to blame all the time, while I was at EB I saw some pretty shockingly irresponsible parenting. People would come in wanting to buy GTA: San Andreas for their 13 year old. We would ask whenever someone who looked like a parent was buying it whether they knew what the content was like, if they were buying it for a child, etc. Sursprisingly, only about 4 in 10 parents decided that beating police officers to death with a purple dildo was inappropriate for their 13 year old. Then there were the parents that would come in with little kids, one or two or a handful, sometimes so young they had to reach up to get to the controllers on our display systems, talk to them for a minute at the front of the store, and then walk away and leave the kid there to play. We told the parents they couldn't leave their kids alone in the store when we could, but we were busy, and you can't spend every waking moment looking at the door. I escorted probably 10-15 kids a month to the mall concierge, where their parents were paged. Mostly they were just shopping for clothes or something and thought it'd be a better idea to leave their kid alone with strangers in a mall than risk him being bored, but there were times when they didn't even stay in the mall. I'd be walking out at the end of my shift and see a kid sitting at the concierge's desk from 2-4 hours past. I've given trying to comprehend the thought process of some of these parents and resigned myself to the fact that there probably isn't one.
Many parts of the world do not have ANY network access or if they exist the dialup lines are very iffy and/or expensive. I guess that many 2nd & 3rd world countries will be giving Vista a miss big time.
Blast, how are they going to feed all the starving, impoverished people without Aero Glass?
I work at a major educational institution, and they require at least two common certifications (A+, Network+, MCSE, etc.).
The problem here is that the people doing the hiring are not IT people and know nothing about IT. They're HR people. They see the certs and say, "Okay, this is going to be our baseline. We're throwing out resumes if the applicant doesn't meet this requirement." This is...silly. In just the past year, I've worked with at least two unique and completely incompetent people (I mean really incompetent. Can't map a Windows shared drive and get confused when you tell them you're going to give them a "URL" incompetent.), both of whom were A+ certified. Neither lasted more than three or four months. They got their feet in the door, yes, and probably because of the certs. However, once it was clear they didn't know what they were doing, they were gone, certs or not.
Since the statute predates the Constitution of the U.S., a clever lawyer could argue it applies here equally.
How could a clever lawyer argue that, exactly? Didn't we have a big war a couple hundred years ago so that English laws would no longer apply in America?
Slashdot Mirror
You have to hit Alt to make them appear in IE7. Same for all explorer windows on Vista. You can set them to always appear with a checkbox.

Oh snap! =O
I'd say to mod you up, but you posted AC... jeez...

They train the bird to turn when it feels the pain. When it turns where they want it to go, they take the pain away.

How is this not just a fancy commuter rail? Am I missing something?
