IANABanker, but iirc inflation is also caused by (bigger sums of) uninvested money just lying around in someone's drawer for a longer period or some such, where it technically looses it's value, because it's not used for what it was ment to be used.
So you technically just suggested to implicitely raise inflation to fix the banking "scam".
This is a little bit offtopic, but I'm curious: How long is a "life time in prison" in the U.S.? (Iirc it's about 25 years over here, in good old Austria, Central Europe.)
So... I've briefly read the patent - and as usual, I am not certain, what they are actually trying to patent. I'm not a big fan of generic statements (like patents love to use) and you seem to have grasped the idea of what the patent trying to tell us, could you enlighten me please?
Are these compile-time preprocessor instructions like those macros in C/C++/C#? Or a variant of Java's optional runtime assertions? Or more like $ANY_IDE / $ANY_DEBUGGER, where the application is hosted by a debugger that can halt execution (at break points || under certain conditions) and give me an overview of the current application state?
How about imports? Aren't there any retailers that'd happily send you a copy? Or what about eBay? Shipping fee and delivery time might become a pain in the ass, but it should be more favorable than paying 75-120 USD around the corner.
This makes me wonder though.
I'm not a linux pro nor have I been nominated for the "Master of teh shells![tm]" award at any time, but if you can get KDE running as a Windows Desktop replacement, would beryl run on top of that ported KDE instance too? This would be a nice Aero replacement that has no "Vista and a uber-performance computer" only restriction.
Don't think so. IANOOMSE (I am not one of Microsoft's software engineers) but as far as I can tell, XP checks ACL, existance et al. while deleting (at least I noticed partial delete operations once in a while when it stumbled upon a readonly file on my network). Which still leaves the one question open about what XP is preparing. And I have no idea.
Without having read more than a few keywords - let alone TFA -, bacteria should be self-reproducing. So it basically has RAID and mirroring features builtin by design! *gasp!* So data should reproduce even faster than "My nude girlfriend 006.jpg"! Try to beat that!
I RTFA but I do not fully agree with both, the article and its information. The author seems to have fallen in love with the word "time" or the phrase "time consuming"; so much that he's willing to use it in every other sentence and/or listed as different critics.
Now on to the containing information and my personal opinion: 1.) "Gentoo is time consuming" - that it is, measuring between a few hours and three days (if you set up your system completely from scratch by pulling every source file like I did). But you can leave the system most of that time unattended. Also this is done once et voilá.
2.) "Gentoo's Stability/Security Strategy: Update Everything" - wrong. That's pretty much a choice left to the end user. You don't have to run "emerge --sync && emerge --update --deep world" each and every day. Hell, I haven't synced my file server since I've set it up half a year ago and it works fine. If I ever find a reason to update a specific application, most often or not updating it won't require updating anything else on that system.
2b.) "With Gentoo, this isn't really feasible because there is no 'stable' Gentoo release." - That's not correct. There are hardened sources intended to be.. well.. hard, as in "stable". Also all packages should be pretty much stable unless you specify the "~x86" (or whatever system you are running) keyword which will take the most bleeding edge stuff into account.
Either the author misunderstood something or I'm completely a gentoo fanboy.
130 Fahrenheit? I am a little concerned about that. If I recall correctly, proteins undergo a chemical reaction comparable to the white part of an egg at ~42C (which is the reason why a body temperature above this can be lethal). Now I wonder: what are the chances of the heat reaching beyond the skin if exposed to this stuff? And especially: How would your eyes react?

I feel a great disturbance in the Force. As if millions of Jar Jar Binks suddenly cried out in terror, and were never silenced.

You forgot to mention "Wow!"

Enlighten me.

In Soviet Russia, the FAQ sees YOU! There. Fixed it for you. Now this article and its comments are 101% ./ conforming.

640 GiByte should be enough for anyone.
