I've been quite happy with corenetworks; $30 for their dual core 1.6GHz Celeron.

Ouch, unbalanced curly brackets to end blocks? Maybe it's something like significant indentation (python) that will become natural once used. On first presentation though it sure seems scary.

Hmm, I wonder how that statistic was made. My first thought is, wouldn't that probably be the top three countries caught spying on the US?

The follow up also has a short how to on getting and building the new version http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/10/gimp-single-window-instal...

Also along with the release, a new design for the web site has been made as well http://bazaar-vcs.org/en/

Umm someone needs to explain that you're supposed to let the viral video spread where it will, not send take down notices when it does start to spread.

A simple finger prick blood glucose check[1] will give the current blood sugar level. A doctor's office can also check A1C level that basically gives a longer term (couple of months) look at what the blood glucose level has been.

Although not mentioned till the very end of the article, his views on patents are interesting and somewhat surprising coming from the former head of Intel. I've thought patent reform has very little chance since the current system is such a short term benefit to the big companies. But maybe even they will start to become aware of the longer term downsides?

Bruce Schneier also had some commentary on this http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/08/on_londons_sur...

The words may not be there, but the concepts certainly are. Most directly in the penultimate paragraph.

Actually Spolsky had already found that to be true for their compile times back in March. But decided the benefit was still worth it for his developers. See http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2009/03/27.html

To my lay understanding (IANAL) it seems the legal system used to have a strong distinction between "things you have" and "things you know". To the point in the U.S. where "taking the 5th" is very much in the public consciousness as not having to say anything that could be used against you. A warrant certainly can be used to take the drive with any encrypted material on it, but forcing divulgence of the keys seems like another level entirely.

Don't forget the distinctive odor that allows you to tell if you have arrived near that love, even in complete darkness. Of course if the new biomass engine does not lack this feature it probably ruins it for any covert use.

But this implies there is a defect in the camera that causes the explosion. The defect, and product liability, is in the battery.

beta 4 was the previous release. It seems that the download links have not been updated yet.

If you find yourself bored with the article at least skip down to the end and read the Q&A discussion at the end. I found it pretty interesting to read his speculation about where the future of computing was heading. His description of the ideal computer is interestingly close to an iphone, although the iphone still lacks a bit.

I really do like the simplicity, brevity, and complete freedom of use of the MIT license.

Just replace <year> and <copyright holders> as appropriate.

So who is going to setup the Senior-Junior Communities of Canada (srjc.ca) free email service?

Thanks for the smaller image. While it was more of a surprise to me than an annoyance I'm sure all the dial-up users will be much happier with the smaller image.

I am genuinely interested in knowing what tool(s) or possibly sequence of events led to such a poor png generation though.

Can't wait to see future posts expanding on the four legs of the pyramid and measurements thereof. It certainly does seem like an interesting and useful way to think about it.

Gah, can someone explain how the first png in the article (pyramid.png) came to be well over 1 megabyte? Simply opening it and resaving in gimp brings it down to 83kb and running it through optipng will bring it down to 45kb.
