Ahhh...so they vote for an actor as governor. Arrrrrrrnaaaald! Shit, that's really all I have to say. That's the joke and the punchline. Just say his name and you've invented your own joke.
That goes against the laws of physics. A sound is a sound, and it still exists even if nobody is there to hear it. A definition of a sound is:
Vibrations transmitted through an elastic solid or a liquid or gas, with frequencies in the approximate range of 20 to 20,000 hertz, capable of being detected by human organs of hearing.
Therefore, the sound is considered audible, but nobody heard it. That doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, however.
I can say that, as a former clerk who got paid $7.25/hr, the risks of being thrown in jail over a damn ID was just too much. I understand the whole deal with keeping it away from kids, and it would be fine if the adults buying it didn't BITCH ABOUT NEEDING AN ID! Jesus, you don't even know how many dumbass adults apparently don't carry any form of ID while trying to buy their addiction of 12-packs.
Plus, the assholes at ABC would use 20-year-old chicks to SEDUCE YOU into selling them beer. Nevermind that they are encouraging this chick to ILLEGALLY buy beer. I love the way that the law punishes the people that SELL the beer, but not the people that BUY the beer.
Oh, you mean like Nochi? Yeah, good idea. My ISP is STILL trying to clean that shit out! Damn "cleaner" virus is worse than the thing it's trying to clean. CodeGreen might have been a good idea, but it's easy to create a monster that you can't contain.
Play 2 Win? Not "playing fair"? That kind of attitude is the reason we are so hated in the rest of the world, why we start so many conflicts, and what will get us killed someday.
I think it has to do with the fact that it's being BURIED with no chance of the sun hitting it. Landfills should be spread out more, but alas, we only have so much room for our trash.
I'm not rejoicing until they stop giving loads of money to the RIAA and start giving it to the artists that need it. Try this calculator and see how much you're paying to the artists.
I want to see a big company take the chance and deal directly with the artists instead of the RIAA. "Hey, I'll pay you 25%, instead of the RIAA's 2%. That sound good with you?"
Why? The USA is still the most prosperous and inventive country on the planet, largely due to the delay between invention and regulation. When the regulation occurs, so does stagnation.
Invention to benefit oneself only applies to oneself. Invention to benefit the community applies to the community. When a person invents only to get money, s/he will only works as far as to get that money and work no further. A person who is committed to actually serving the community will work as hard as s/he can.
The government also has a nominal policing role to ferret out what corruption it can, but, ultimately, the government cannot catch every bad guy, no matter how hard they try.
The government cannot catch every bad guy because they are one of the bad guys themselves. They are being paid by the corporations they try to "catch", and happily pass laws that the corporations require (whether it damages the public or not). (Examples: MS's paultry anti-trust settlement, DCMA, etc., etc., etc.) When the government is immune to corruption, the system will work at its peak.
I believe that a command has failed when you have to resort to commands such as xargs. Any sort of command that has a filename as an input should also have a recursive option. It's not bloat; it's used all of the time. I use "grep -R" all of the time (especially in the/etc directory). The fact that I could use "grep `find.`" is another way of doing things, which is okay. There's nothing wrong with having a couple of different way of doing things.
If that sort of functionally was implemented into one library, it wouldn't take up all that much space, anyway. I use Linux/*NIX because it's designed to be a usable console, versus Windows, which is a GUI, and DOS, which is a stripped-down and unusable console. Bloat doesn't become an issue unless your minimum requirements continue to get raised, but I can still install Linux on a 386 if I need to. I can't say the same thing about Windows XP.
Given that most of the commands in Solaris lack the functionality of most of the commands in Linux, it would not surprise me if Solaris was able to document all TEN of their command switches for "ls". Linux is a little bit more complex, thus documentation is a bigger deal. However, given that it works on more hardware and has more software/commands for it, the documentation for Linux isn't all that bad. "man [command]" helps me for most of my needs, and "apropos [subject]" helps for the rest.
I guess Canada is just a suffering tyranny of a country. The real tyranny is mega-corporations in charge of a billion dollar industry, and like it or not, the system has a "role in directing the individual health choices of its citizens". Unforunately, since it's a system corrupted by money, the individuals are the ones that suffer.
The current state of capitalism is enough to "make the founders of the USA to spin in their graves". If our founding fathers saw the sorry state of capitalism today, they would have pumped Alexander Hamilton and Adam Smith full of bullets with their old-style gunpowdered pistols for even suggesting the idea. (Right now, I fear for the Russians 25-50 years down the line, when they learn how to become as corrupt as we are.)
Oh, sorry. I didn't know that the purpose of GNU utilities were to make life HARDER. I guess I should not even bother with commands, and just type in the machine code by hand.
And I suppose that when I type "killall" without any parameters, it should kill every process on the machine, instead of giving me a help screen with the list of options. (Recounting an AIX experience...)
Slashdot Mirror
It's on par with arguing about physics with John Carmack.
Ahhh...so they vote for an actor as governor. Arrrrrrrnaaaald! Shit, that's really all I have to say. That's the joke and the punchline. Just say his name and you've invented your own joke.
I have two pet rats and I resent that. Genocide of ANYTHING lifeform is always wrong and upsets the balance of life.

"Always install software from Claria Corporation?"
Too bad estoppel didn't stop Unisys from suing for counterdamages of an 20-year-old GIF standard.

Lawsuits? Definately.
launching counter attacks to clean infected hosts

No, this is Slashdot. Welcome to the nerd community. You know, News for NERDS.

Like Oswald? Kennedy? The grassy knoll?
Not sure why someone would sign their name with an anon login though.
Or be a Secretary that writes one big paragraph of info, without two spaces after the period, etc., etc.
I think it has to do with the fact that it's being BURIED with no chance of the sun hitting it. Landfills should be spread out more, but alas, we only have so much room for our trash.
Anything similar to the tornado in a can?
I could have swore I've seen this thing on Slashdot at least 4 times already. At least I know I'm not crazy.
Must be a glitch in the Matrix.
Oh wait...wrong site.
The Stoned Age would fit somewhere, but IMDB doesn't have nearly enough of their quotes.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the weapon that the Battlecruisers use in StarCraft (humans) called a "Yamamoto Cannon"?
Oh, wait...it's a "Yamato Cannon". Fine, so I'm missing two letters.
