Finding your local hacker space should be one of your first steps. Members pay a small subscription that pays for the rental of a workshop/meeting space you can use anytime, complete with tools and more.
There are quite a few in the UK now and they'll provide all kinds of support:
- a place to work on projects
- communal tools and components
- friendly people to help you learn/solve problems
The Welsh didn't really get colonial with the part of Argentina you're thinking of, they simply went to live there, encouraged by the Argentinian government.
I've always wondered why, given Mark Shuttleworth's focus on Africa and providing computing to the poor, that OLPC didn't hook up with Ubuntu.
Surely tapping that community to create a version - OLPCbuntu? - for the XO would have made more sense.
Brad stared at Debra, a sweet stewardess, as Debra's stewardess cart swerved. "Tea?" Debra greeted Brad. Brad's face creased as Debra stared. Brad detested tea....
Nice - except for all that right-side punctuation.
KDE developers aren't interested on working on something like GNOME. If they were, they would. If KDE didn't exist, they'd create it or do something entirely different. Ditto Gnome developers.
Really, have they discovered those genes yet? Maybe Shuttleworth should fund a hybrid breeding project for KDE and Gnome developers.
Seriously, though, KDE and Gnome have not emerged as reflections of the two basic types of person in the world.
Sure, they're two well-established projects that earn loyalty from developers and users. But they have more in common than people realise. Merging some or all of what they do might be a challenge, but it's not impossible.
1. Sense data.
2. Collect that data in a manageable form (categorize it using an ontology, maybe?)
3. Retrieve the x most recently accessed clusters pertaining to other properties of the concept you are reasoning about, as well as the cluster corresponding to the property being reasoned about itself (remembering everything is intractable, so the agent will primarily consider what it has been "mulling over" recently). ??????
4. Profit
No it hasn't. That's why the French team's work has appeared in the top journal Nature this week. The editor has written a freely accessible summary with links to the research article. The first paragraph of that is freely available.
This is an incremental improvement.
This image generated from a presentation by the National Renewable Energy Lab shows that efficiencies of 36% were achieved a couple of years ago.
Cost and scale up are more important issues for solar technology.
fatfingers searches ebay for misspelt versions of what you are looking for. You can find all the listings no one else does, bid low, and win a bargin. Brilliant, but technically exploiting the afflicted.
While the rest of the globe celebrates the World Year of Physics, the UK has declared 2005 Einstein Year, why us and not his native Germany I don't know.
A somewhat bizarre range of events are and have taken place, from a hands-on lab in a lorry to an experiment looking for ghosts, to a poetry competition about time, space and energy.
I guess it probably wouldn't appeal to Nike - but someone should develop a similar product for people that spend a long time in front of a screen.
Great for the millions of people that work all day at a computer, and with possible applications for leisure too. Improve your coding/Doom3 performance with specially designed contact lenses - yes please
"producing colonies of animals as they existed decades ago"
Not so. They are producing colonies of animals hatched from eggs that failed to hatch decades ago. The resurrected colonies could be drastically different from those that did hatch and were active in the past. Unfortunately there is no way to tell how different/divergent the resurrected sample is.
We're not just talking evolution on the scale of decades. The populations of many Daphnia/water flea species change throughout the year - typically more of the population have long defensive spines during the sumer months.
Many lake ecologists scientists believe that this is the result of microevolution within a single season. Seasonal changes in conditions and the predators that are active, coupled with very short generation times mean that selection can work very quickly so that spined animals survive and reproduce over those without.
All this spoof stuff on/. just shows you can't believe anything anyone says today. I've been very careful - so far at work I've avoided three spoof 'meetings' and four 'deadlines'.
Everyone's at it: My boss says he sack me if I don't start taking things seriously. Like I was gonna fall for that one...
Among the primary benefits [disadvantages] of the free update is the inclusion of security enhancements [crippling additions to break your software] similar to those added to Windows XP with last year's Service Pack 2

You're not getting it. Those are speed holes. They make the font faster.
Gentoo users can tweak the eco-font with --omfg-so-green and --funroll-loops to make it both faster still, and even better for the environment.

There, fixed that for you.

New Scientist spoke to the guy from Jane's who literally wrote the book on land-based air defence - he says the gun involved is categorically not a robot. It was most likely a mechanical failure.
Electrochromics have been figured out for a long time. You can already buy rear view mirrors for cars and a motorcycle helmet with an electrochromic visor has been around since 2003. Nothing to see here.

Great! Now after a night on the tiles google will not only find you a cab but also remind you where your house is.
