Kitchen knife: SKIMP. I see I'm going against the grain in this thread here. I use cheap knives from IKEA and an cheap knife sharpener from IKEA. If only the knives are sharp then I have never noticed a difference in performance between cheap and expensive knives.-Nod5 (August 04, 2008, 07:09 AM)
In our coverage of some of the serious problems faced by OLPC, we dismissed speculation that OLPC was planning to drop Linux and noted that such rumors have no basis in fact. Our suspicions were confirmed by OLPC who responded to our inquiries and told us directly that the project has no intention of dropping Linux.Negroponte is also getting serious with developers of the Sugar interface to whip it into shape, AND port it to Windows.
"Sugar is a very good idea, less than perfectly executed. I attribute our weakness to unrealistic development goals and practices," Negroponte wrote. "Sugar needs to be disentangled. I keep using the omelet analogy, claiming it needs to be a fried egg, with distinct yolk and white, rather than having the UI, collaborative tools, power management and radios merge into one amorphous blob. Otherwise, it is impossible to debug and will be limited to the small, albeit growing, world of the XO hardware platform."
Negroponte challenges the perception that bringing Sugar to Windows reflects a deviation from the goals and agenda of the OLPC project. "As we reach out to engage a wider community, some purism has to morph into pragmatism. To suggest that this forsakes Open Source or redirects our mission is absurd," he wrote.
Time Cube is a website created by Gene Ray in 1997, where he sets out his proposed theory of everything, a description of the nature of the universe.You can't handle time cube. trust me.
Darwin is an open source UNIX computer operating system released by Apple Inc. in 2000. It is composed of code developed by Apple, code derived from NEXTSTEP, and code derived from FreeBSD and other free software projects.
Darwin forms the core set of components upon which Mac OS X and iPhone OS are based. It can also be run as a standalone operating system (although Apple no longer provides a distribution).
No one takes that much time to point out flaws in a product that they completely loathe and despise.All too true.
Yes, most of us are, apparently... The legal copy shop I used to work for did this kind of stuff all the time, and the software was expensive. They used batch printing software that cost $1700 but it could handle printing the entire contents of a hard drive and slip sheet between documents. When I was working there 5 years ago, we were also getting heavily into high-volume document scanning and cataloging using IPro. (see f0dder, it's happening- yes, it is expensive!I am soooooo in the wrong business!
