As a linux user since 1995, I have found the documentation to be little more than it was around 2000. It's easier to do a google search than try to find an answer in a man page. Not only that, the man page rarely has useful examples, one of the biggest problems.
If it's a Linux based fighter it will never crash, fly well, but be missing key features like a fuel guage and gun sites. Oh, and there will be no stick to control the plane, but you will have a command line and scriptable flight controls.
It's amazing that RMS doesn't see this. Linus isn't at war with RMS, he just doesn't like GPL v3. Unite and conquer, not fight amongst ourselves. Sheesh.
Old programmers never go away, they just polymorph into a human. By the time that a programmer is 40 they won't be living at home anymore with their parents, they'll have a wife and maybe kids for at least 3 years! They tend to leave corporate wherever to become either management, or a craftsman. I'm planning on leaving by the age of 40 (10 years) to become a woodworker. And yes, I'll have been married for more than 3 years:). Many of us get sick of politics in the company and want a simpler life, ie, I plan on living in the mountains of Montana, Wyoming or Colorado.
I completed the book the other night and it was pretty good. It ties up all of the loose ends that I could think of. Yes there is some pop culture, and yes Jar-Jar is there albeit briefly. Have fun, enjoy the movies, think of yourself as 5 again, and not as a critical 30 year old, and the movies will be much better.
But again, the book was worth reading and talks about a lot of interesting topics that can't be covered withing the confining medium of cinema.
How are they going to prevent people from flying over private property? I don't want thousands of people flying over my 2000 acres in Montana (if I ever buy it).
As everyone here has said it's due to taxes. I also believe (but I'm not an accountant) but the leases don't appear as capitol purchases.
Secondly equipment can be kept somewhat up to date by replacing old with new. We all now technology changes at a rapid pace, and this allows the company to keep up.
I agree with you that Erector sets kick butt. I used to play with the set my Dad had as a kid. There are way to many cool things you can do with it, and agreeably it does teach mechanical engineering much better than Legos. I heard starting last year they were going to be available in the US again.
You have to love Legos. Not only are they fun, but they teach creativity, mechanical engineering, and design. If you are playing with someone else, they teach teamwork and sharing. Not to mention you can build some cool guns and spaceships.
On this topic, I'm not a big fan of the premade Lego sets for Star Wars or Harry Potter or whatever. Kids need the generic box of bricks and plates.
This is a really cool sounding device. But XM needs to do some more marketing to fight Sirius. XM is sweet and I'm looking forward to getting it. A handheld would make it that much better.
Older servers, in the '80s and early '90s were often crippled in this way. If you wanted additional storage, you could call support and order additional blocks of space on your hard drive. Basically this is nothing more than increasing the size of your filesystem. What MS is proposing is nothing more than "bandwidth throttling", so to speak, for all of your hardware.
1) Yast (I know it's SuSE centric, but it's being open sourced!) 2) OpenSSH... Oh yeah baby! 3) GCC and make... DUH! 4) FTP...I know I know SFTP if you prefer 5) Perl...YUM and even better with perl expect 6) Bash...we all need a CLI 7) Jumpstart...If you manage a lot of solaris boxes, this is your friend 8) Sendmail or postfix...pick your poison 9) nmap...oh yeah, let the Windows guys drool 10) Nagios...monitor that network in style!

NCRAIDT or maybe NC-RAIDT or better yet just RAID-T. I wonder how much parity there is?

You'll never get it attached to my top-of-the-line tin can and string system!
You have the option of working elsewhere, or helping your nonprofit get more grants or funding so that you can get a bigger paycheck.

I can see it now, in the middle of an RTS with 3 other people and all of the sudden an add for Viagra pops up (no pun intended.) Wouldn't that be fun?
Did you happen to see the word "right" in "copyright"? I'm not sure you did.
I always end up with Diablo hand, a condition where all of your fingers are locked into the shape of a mouse after too many hours of killing monsters.
Could you imagine a Beowolf cluster of ... ah nevermind...

And in MO you can hire some of them mountain folk real cheap I hear.
The reasons for leasing are twofold.

But have you ever tried to carry a 4'x 8' 3/4" sheet of plywood and a few studs while riding a bike? It's quite difficult.
Could you imagine a beuwolf cluster of these things?!

Sorry, I was misinformed and appologize to all of the Danish people including Vigo.
