Living in a town where real satellites are build ..
I happen to know some people who are in R&D as well as in production. And from them I know that they hope for a runway launch like SpaceShipOne but bigger.
Especially the smaller satellites for lower orbits are heavier then needed for their purpose to survive the first 30 seconds until after the second stage ignites. Eliminating the first stage and launching the second one from a plane would help building much cheaper satellites.

Try to compile something on it, a custom Kernel maybe.
It runs Lightroom and fits into onboard luggage allowances together with my camera and flash and a few lenses. One kg less for the laptop is a spare flash and camera.
I just paid 184 Euro for an i5-2500k CPU, add 100 for a board and 20 for two SO-DIMMS and you're get a nice and fast small footprint server or desktop machine, but certainly not a Raspberry PI or Beagleboard etc.pp.
Those records include the IP number from where you booked the ticket if you ordered online, your credit card information, your religious believes, your meal aboard and you sexual orientation if available.
Whoever trusted "The Cloud" with important data should be really scared now. Ok, Amazon is too big to be prosecuted for file sharing, but there are lots of copyrighted files available there. Dropbox has a public share function, too ....
Re: Cameron's attempt to cram a robot arm wearing a Rolex into his pristine bottom
That's what I've been told by my local jeweler recently, but I still have my trusty Dugena Nautica T-200 and back in the days we tested it with a 200m line in the northern atlantic. That was used to take water samples from different depths to measure salt to improve our sonar. We recorded 187 meters and the watch came up fine.
my beaten up and abused white late 2006 Macbook works fine with several AVM Fritz Wifi Routers but is shaky with Siemens Wifi Routers provided by german O2. The older ones work fine, but the new ones are strange. DHCP doesn't work most of the time.
Funny thing, I have the same problems with those routers and an EeePC 901 running OpenSuse 12.1.
So if you'd asked me about Wifi Problems with Macs, I'd say check your Router :)
And obviously not for any treatment involving certain hormones which are used in contraceptives, even if that will lead to sterility. Oestrogen and gestagen reduce the risk of ovary and uterus cancer. So since the poor lady lost an ovary and a treatment containing something which is used in contraceptives, we might assume that she had ovary cancer.
IMHO nothing to joke about, even if your catholic.
Here we had to raise the dykes because of higher floods three times in the past 20 years. We were at 6 meters in in the 90's and are now at 7 wit 7,50 planned for next year.
But you have to know the root password and that is not always desirable.
If you are allowed to use YaST, then you can log in as root!
My niece is 14 now and not root on her laptop but capable of using foreign printers in school, my office or copy shops as well as using WiFi anywhere. She is unable to work around privoxy, hopefully :)
Changing printers on a print server to redirect output to another location is a bit different to using a networked printer, isn't it?
With my notebook I use printers at home, in the office and in copy shops. Ok, I have the root password, but my niece hasn't and she has the same problem Linus daughter had.
With OpenSuses default policy you need the root password, even for sudo!
I use Suse and OpenSuse for some 17 years now and I'm totally with Linus here. You need the root password almost anywhere and OpenSuse knows that, it's set to the first users password by default.
Not a problem for me, but if I gave the root password to some of my users they'd get into the old Windows XP habit and work as root.
Not the longest but acceptable battery life, fast enough for a typical task worker, i.E. Excel, Word, Powerpoint, Outlook, and it fits into restricted on-bord luggage even when you fly Ryan Air.
Sony seems to be on the right track now, they don't advertise the tablet, they advertise Sony Entertainment WITH the tablet, at least in german TV now.

so an ultrabook wouldn't be too wrong, would it?
Apollo 7
Ok, not the rocket but the capsule, but fatal.

Tell that to Intel
They put USB 3 into the chipset and not ethernet. For those making the mainboards it's just soldering a USB instead of an ethernet plug.
Two words - Windows 8
Android tablets will be moot when Windows 8 is out, WoA for new applications and on X86 for legacy stuff.
I'd be surprised if the whole crowd from Acer to Samsung haven't already built first samples and will flood the market this autumn.
Re: Omitted Truth
They should come to germany, here the price of books is fixed by law :)

Re: No SD!
My camera uses CF cards, So what use is a SD Card Reader for me?
Re: wtf?
Good enough for what I do and very portable with pretty long battery life.

Re: A thought strikes me.....
Since Mastercard and Visa work for free and Servers and big data pipes don't cost money, I think they just keep the loot.
Re: Overly simplistic view of the world hooo
I'm not sure about China, but I do know for sure that Germany wants it's cut, too.
Hey, we too paid some 12 Billion Euros to defend freedom and democracy at the Hindukush!

post under your real name and I'll believe what you say.

Re: Throw me a bone too.
My primary e-mail address is on a virtual private server at the moment, I have my own domain since 1998, why should I trust anybody with my e-mail?
Re: Hmmm
No fragmentation there, they have their own custom build distribution.
Re: hmm
Less casual gaming during work hours :)
Re: hmm
this was a response to a request by the opposition, so probably well scrutinized by media and political parties as well as lobbyists.
Re: Same as pilot's watches
Or a watch and a pocket calculator in an Apollo Spacecapsule :)

My new Gigabyte Mobo
has Foxconn all over the place, most prominent on the CPU socket. I think I'll make me a hackintosh :)

Vodafone fixed it
their basic data plan didn't accept logins from an ipad 3 as a valid device for the plan.
Re: "Crushed by reality"??
Daniel, there are people who leave the PC at work and use anything but a PC when they are out of office.
I've even heard of people earning a living without a PC, can't be real work, can it?
2x the CPU Power and a spanking new quad core GPU with many times the pixel shifting power the predecessor has.
Re: People are sheep
Yes, and instead of hormones to treat her cancer she can pray Hail Marys
Re: It won't change anything
A friend of mine is under treatment for breast cancer, a lot of the stuff she gets in chemo therapy works as an contraceptive.
Go figure.

Hm, there is no lpadmin group in my OpenSuse 12.1 installs.

Linus is right.

Dear El Reg
Centripetal force is NOT gravity! How will LOHAN succeed with physics blunders like this?
Very nice machine
Not the longest but acceptable battery life, fast enough for a typical task worker, i.E. Excel, Word, Powerpoint, Outlook, and it fits into restricted on-bord luggage even when you fly Ryan Air.
My still studying friends love it!
Good! Stick to your predictions!
One day they'll build one and then you're the indisputable expert who'd known it for a long time.
Sony seems to be on the right track now, they don't advertise the tablet, they advertise Sony Entertainment WITH the tablet, at least in german TV now.
and buy two licenses for one computer, good idea.
Memo to self, buy MSFT
And your Dell is how big and the battery lasts how long and it weighs how much?
It's tough being the BOFHs daughter :)
She was lucky, it could have been a bus or a stuck elevator :)
Transformer doesn't run Adobe Lightroom, so not for me :)
There is gigantic nuclear power in the center of earths orbit :)
I don't want iOS Apps on my Laptop! I want the full grown Adobe Lightroom and Libre Office and Pixelmator and Postgresql and VMware Fusion ....
Exactly what I thought, Apples X86 business is large enough to keep Intel listening.
Ok, let's allow another 10 GBP for transport and the guy in the shop.
Some people have to buy new, or there wouldn't be much used stuff to buy.
Actualy, where is the problem?
If you don't own a Mac and don't intend to sell to iPad users, why are you complaining?
