If you look at the net-primary productivity image on the NASA site, it's obvious that the Amazon region (as well as areas of the Phillipines) ARE in deed the most productive areas.
Canada and Russia still end up absorbing CO2 on a yearly basis in this average, but the Amazon is about twice as productive per unit area.
Except for the fact that Doom III's graphics subsystem is entirely written in OpenGL at the moment. You'd think that it would take a while to port this system over to DirectX, as well as optimize it to the point that Xbox owners would be pleased with the performance (remember their NVidia chip is a little bit worse than a Geforce 4).
I'd be interested in finding out whether Microsoft is offering some sort of OpenGL driver for the Xbox as part of the deal...
The link given in the article about the lack of a decent movie player leads to a page containing a rant about someone's attempt to install a video player under linux.
It's basically a tale of the woes of RPM.
Mplayer and Xine work just fine when you actually have a system with the correct dependancies to run them.
Normally the Google cache isn't too much help when you're trying to view images on a slashdotted site;)
However, it's working in this case, leading me to surmise that kare.com is dying simply because of CGI usage. Yet more proof that CGI should be taken out into the street and shot.
Obviously Redhat is pulling enough subscriptions to saturate their subscribers only download servers; you can tell just by going through the comments and listen to all the subscribers complaining they're only getting 14Kb/s or 2Kb/s or whatever.
So Redhat's serving up to as many subscribers as they can at the moment, and I'm sure there are subscribers that haven't even started downloading yet (RH9 has been out for less than 24 hours after all!). So how can you sit there and try telling us that we're getting rid of Redhat's revnue stream?
Their site is here, but it's less a web presence than it is their store hours and contact info.
I'm working on my 2nd year ENGSCI design project (as a U of T engineering student) and have been going to Active and nearby Supremetronic a few times a day for the past week:P
Active has an excellent assortment of odd motors (stepper/AC/DC/etc), keypads, odd electronic components scavaged from old stereos and computers, and they have all kinds of cheap, odd sized pieces of plastic. It's the kind of place that an electronics hobbiest can just walk into, wander around and be inspired by:)
Yeah, but the Administrator user (or sometimes the domain administrator) is usually included in the list of users that can decrypt files (for recovery purposes). Since you get logged in as Administrator with this exploit, any files that the Administrator is allowed to recover become vulnurable.
This sounds particularly bad, as I'm assuming that it allows you to get by the NTFS filesystem-level encryption. This feature is *supposed* to allow you to encrypt files, and make it impossible for others to decrypt, even if they steal your drive, reinstall Windows on it, etc.
If you can just get Administrator access without reinstalling the OS (and killing the old UID tables), then this data suddenly becomes vulnurable!
Just don't try to compile XFree86 on it too often:P

c can be measured against any inertial (non-accelerating) frame of reference. So us sitting on planet Earth would be a good candidate, while us sitting on a rocket ship blasting off Earth would be a poor one.
E=mc^2 is generally well known as the rest energy of a piece of matter in a non-inertial frame of reference (if v=0, your equation simplifies to it). Hence it isn't really simplified; the equation you give is just more general.
It's not Einstein's fault that the public was content to take a dumbed down version:P
Whey Back When(tm), the/. editors were the only ones that moderated story comments. As/. became more and more popular, the sheer bulk of comments that had to be moderated increased and this task became too great for so few people to do. A critical point was reached, and moderation was given to a larger population of/. readers (ie, the current moderation system).
I believe we have reached that critical point now with story submission/review. I'm sure the editors are getting overwhelmed with the number of submissions due to/.'s immense popularity. As a result, they no longer have the time to review each story as carefully as Way Back When, and are simply forced to post whatever looks n33t.
If something akin to the comment-moderation-by-many system were introduced for story review, say, allowing everyone with moderator points to have a look at and vote for the pending story submissions, these duplicate posts could largely be eliminated.
In Matt Groening's Futurama, this form of transportation is commonplace. Even better, they've been able to do away with the annoying capsule!

With IBM's continuing support of Linux in the commercial and high end server space, I have no doubt that this will be a GNU/Linux friendly project, if not composed entirely of GNU/Linux software.
And just imagine the possibilites for breaking the MS monopoly. I can just imagine companies with hundreds of cheap, dumb, never-needing-to-be-upgraded X terminals connected to this computing "utility" for all their office/CAD/research/calculation/accounting/etc needs.
Why not combine your computing "utility" bill with your software "utility" bill? IBM's supercomputers could always have the latest versions of Sun/Open/IBM/etc office suites. It would be the natural extension of the software subscription model.
This project is going to make MS quake in its boots .
I don't know about the decontamination room, but if you watch the 30 second promotional clip it looks like Hoshi gets to show a LOT more skin than we've seen so far:)

The article links to Propel Software. On their front page they claim their product can give a 5x speed improvement to a normal dial-up account.
This is not Earthlink providing new connection technology; it is simply a proxying/compression trick, hardly worth $7US a month.
