Town Hall Deli! I miss you so much.

A lot of what was the 88K was put into the PowerPC.

In 1994, we used to joke that XFS was a write-only filesystem. The early version was less than stellar. SGI pretty quickly solved the worst issues. It sure was nice not having to wait for 6 hours for a Challenge XL to fsck.

Currently, there is only one thing the Chinese supercomputers are good at. Running Linpack. Give it time, and the Chinese will build up the library and experience to fully take advantage of the resource. In the mean time, we're not going to help them much.

The single biggest consumer of Supercomputing cycles is the DOE for Fusion^H^H^H^H^HSuperNova simulations. They'll chew this up in no time. At least this is being located at the LCF, so it will be open to all sorts of academic usage, too.

[ added ] Teach me not to read the news earlier. Not a bright move, cutting off the Chinese from Xeons and the like will only drive them to develop all the tech themselves. While I do not believe we should be handing them tech on a silver platter, it is actually worse to cut them off.

Reubens is gone, NYC will never be the same.

Those are resonant cavities, the RF pushes the particles.

One of the reasons LaserDisks are so durable, they're analog.

Anywhere around the accelerator you are going to have massive cyclotron radiation ( ie. the photons emitted when you coerce of near light speed proton out of a straight line).

In addition, at the detectors themselves, you have all sorts of radiation from the collisions. Muon, gamma, etc.

The author does pass on a good point, the biggest danger is oxygen deprivation from liquid helium, argon, and I assume Nitrogen ( though not mentioned ).

Edward wasn't crazy, he was just very focused.

As for Putin, weren't we doing much the same under GW when we decided we were going to ignore the ABM treaty?

BTW, the 10GT design was to be used for asteroid defence.

Edward should have won the Nobel prize, he succeeded in designing a weapon so horrible it has never been used in warfare.

WTF! Skips Chicago? Made a huge detour for the Wright Bros.

And McDonalds is a Real Estate company.

It is only noticeable on very windy days. Not terrifying at all, but a little uncomfortable at times. On a really bad day, you can end up feeling a bit sea sick.

Mark Rudd's parents were my next door neighbors. The eye's of suburbia really opened up during this era.

I wonder how the higher floors would be in a building like that? I'm on the 97th of the Sears Tower, and there are days when it is rather uncomfortable as the building sways. Are the newer buildings, with mass dampers, immune to this?

This was not the first mention of C in Byte. That happened in 1977, if memory serves correct.

Other monoclonal antibody therapies have had similar side effects. There is the possibility that this is a direct reaction to the removal of the plaques. Also, I wouldn't get my hopes up until there is a lot more data. See what happened with Elan's bapineuzumab.

Be thankful for the inefficiencies of large organizations. Otherwise, we would all be working for MegaCo by now.

We used to have devices to convert typewriters into output devices. I never thought about going in the other direction.

Hayes had the patent.

A Frickin' awesome idea.

My best wishes in your success!!!

I look forward to the results.

Don't get your hopes up. There has been discussion of variants of this setup for almost 40 years now. None has made it to market, as far as I am aware.

One size does not fit all. LKML has evolved to what it is. If everybody played nice nice, we'd be discussing the merits of the new 1.20 kernel about now. It is not a warm inviting place for the uninitiated.

That being said, managing your new project like it was the LKML will probably be a kiss of death.

The opposite use case is covered. They do make base stations you can pair with your cell phone as a bluetooth headset.

He holds copyright to the container in which he put the scans. He also holds copyright to the pattern of bits he scanned. If the free, and/or competitive versions, are copies of his scans, he is correct. He does not hold copyright to the words which his pattern of bits might conveniently translate to.

The AMC Pacer was supposed to have the wankel, too. At the last minute, GM called it off, and AMC had to panic to put a conventional engine in. The DOT nixed the plexiglass windows, too. It would have been interesting to see what the reaction would have been, if the original design had made it to market.

What they neglect to mention is that if you had the Monza with a 350 V8 in it, you had to remove the engine to replace the spark plugs. It made for expensive tune-ups.

"We are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. And yet it should be noted, in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human."

-Captain James T. Kirk

And that is why you would disconnect the Bell on all the "extra" phones. ;)

Reminds me of Ted Taylor: http://www.amazon.com/The-Curve-Binding-Energy-Alarming/dp/0...

He didn't stop with the high explosives, he went Nuclear!

"Tank capacity constitutes 365 tons. Fuel is held in 13 wing integral tanks. The aircraft can keep on flying for 18 hours and cover the distance of more than 15 000 km."
