That's because the HP LaserJet 4 was built during a time when the art of using standards such as PostScript and PCL had still not been forgotten. Anything from the past 20 years will work with that printer...
With a professional army there's also a significant risk of getting an army of the lower classes, where the military is seen as a last way out for the underprivileged, but which the wealthy can avoid entirely. It may create a dissonance between the ruling class (generally wealthy) and the soldiers (generally poor).
And until recently, Sweden... Having a draft is probably a good thing, even though I would prefer not to go into the military. The people who actively seek out a military life are often not the most mentally stable people in the world, and although there is (should be) a review process, it's probably not that hard to get through it, especially if the military is desperate for people willing to join.
Hey I'm as anti-corporate (and part Finnish to boot) as anyone, probably moreso, but the GP was a reference to the monolithic kernel vs microkernel debate, in which Linus (obivously) favors the monolithic kernel approach.
It is reprehensible for a school board (ANY school board) to spend so much damned money on a building when the REAL key to eduction (teachers, DUH!) are underpaid, undersupplied (way too many have to buy materials out of their own pockets) and set in front of huge classes (most of my daughter's classes have 40 students in them this year) only to be judged by standardized tests.
Wow, is that a class with a *single* teacher? I've never heard of such a class with the obvious exception of university lectures. My classes were around 20 students when I was a kid and I think on average it's lower now, and the politicians are still talking about large class sizes... Is this common in the US? In public schools only or private schools too?
"Seriously, the implications of a subculture developin' it's own language r seriously disturbin'. Truly, America has failed theze citizens." I count one gross misuse of the word "are" (along with abbreviating the word as R) and one misspelling of the word these. Granted, these may just be part of the leet "language", but it still trips me up alot more than the substitution of letters with numbers. But that's just me...
I believe in free software, and I prefer free software. That does not mean I use free software to the exclusion of anything else. If there's a better alternative that costs money and runs on my platform of choice (and I need the extra features), I will consider purchasing closed source software. I recently bough StarCraft 2, because it's a game I've been looking forward to and it runs well under wine. I will likely buy Civ V if it runs under wine as well. I use Nvidia's closed drivers, but would prefer open drivers if they were as good.
3D? OpenGL! Audio? Alsa! Controls? SDL! X is not two decades behind, that's total bullshit. I can run StarCraft 2 under wine flawlessly, how can X be 2 decades behind what games require?
I don't know if this works well with Steam, but for Starcraft, I use an emulated wine desktop the size of my primary screen, without window decorations. It has the effect of a fullscreen game on my primary monitor only, while the second monitor can be used for whatever. Unless you want to use a game that actually makes use of the second monitor, but I don't know of any such games...
Sky is a British network, of course few Americans have heard of it.. And are you kidding me with the Fox News thing? You mean that sort of "news" is popular among young people? Wouldn't most get their news from the Internet anyways? I suppose I may not be a "youth" anymore (28), but I've read newspapers (domestic and international, almost always online) since I was a teenager..
I'm sure the UK has some variant of ( ) too for lower grades. When problems like that are introduced to pupils in Sweden (sometime in 2nd or 3rd IIRC), they usually use an underscore to represent the unknown variable, on which you're supposed to write the value of that variable.
It depends on the politician and/or the body I suppose. As far as I can tell, our parliamentarians in Sweden don't have such aides. Not that they will necessarily respond to your emaisl, but they will answer the phone if you call them... (But then we're only 9 million people, and very few would ever bother sending an email, much less call an MP, I am however one of those few)
Well, it would be a bit more startling if they claimed to have proof of P=NP, now *that* would be news, essentially making any and all encryption worthless.
These buses will be running on regular roads (with some modification for the track of course.) The sheer number of people that will be walking alongside/across the path of these buses (I'm assuming) would be much more than alongside/across train tracks.
Did you see the video? The cars were stopped at a red light when the "bus" turned. I can't imagine coins or shoes being any more of a problem than it is for trams that have been in use for some 150 years by now.
Seriously, transcribe it manually... automatic speech recognition just doesn't work. And can never work, because much of the time the only reason humans can understand each other is by making informed guesses based on context, which a computer program cannot do.
If that question was posed on a website with a lot of people interested in cars, and interested in building cars, it's a perfectly valid response, just as the grandparent says one can build a front-end relatively easily on a website with a lot of people interested in programming. If the question was posed on a genealogy website, it obviously would not have been an appropriate response, but this is Slashdot...

Damn. 16889 lines of "code", about 99% empty lines. Maybe they're paid by the line?
Ah but the longer you survive, the more likely you are to live until the day a immortality serum is invented...
You're completely right now that I read it again. Perhaps I should abstain from further remarks about the grammars of a non-native language. :P

Same here. I had more difficulties with his poor grammars than the leet.
So do Linux users, if it will run on their machines. I bough StarCraft 2 a few weeks ago, exclusively for use under wine. (and it works, very well)

The Acela has an average speed that is lower than that of the X2000 in Sweden, and the top speed of the X2000 is 200 km/h, it's not high-speed rail...
Or move to a city with decent public transit.. Seriously, I've never seen anyone drive to a bar here... (and drunk driving is pretty stigmatized)

Train tracks, yes, but not tram tracks...
