Fedora Legacy is still supporting Redhat 7.3 and Redhat 9 with updates. Sure, you can't get support for Fedora Core 1 or Fedora Core 2, but I wouldn't be so hasty to say nobody is doing it.
Actually, I kinda liked the fact that everything wasn't perfect the first time around in Star Wars. I liked seeing not-very dramatic spaceship scenes. I liked that Mos Eisley looked desolate. It's supposed to be a secret, right? Why advertise? I liked the mistakes, and the older motion-capture technology. Why? It reminds me that these guys did some pretty incredible effects in 1977. What George Lucas did was piss all over the incredible work of these talented folks by going back and making it look better. Why? The movie was made in 1977 with 1977 technology. Let the achievements of the talented crew speak for themselves.
Interesting that Sun Microsystems didn't even rate a mention, even though they've bet a lot of the company on being more energy efficient than the competition.
If the sum of the order is $5.89, and the customer hands the cashier a $20:
1) What is the amount of change the customer would expect? 2) Show the optimal amount of change given to the customer in pennies, nickles, dimes, quarters, one dollar bills, five dollar bills, and ten dollar bills.
That article had a lot of "wah wah" and no substance. Johnathan Schwartz isn't a lame duck... shit he hasn't been CEO for more than 60 days. Scott McNealy was CEO of Sun while most of Wired Magazine's reporters were in diapers. And saying that Digg's multitude voting system will replace Slashdot is like saying that popularity votes will create good government. What a load a shit. "Oh! Let's pick on Vodaphone and Slashdot and Linus Torvalds! That'll really get the hits! We're so CLEVER!"
Why doesn't the company worry about making it so more people want to purchase their product than crack it? There's probably a proponderance of cracks for this product because there's a perceived need for it. Work on your customer relations rather than trying to remove results from a search engine, and listen to what your customers are saying. The rest will take care of itself.
Totally agree, but to say that the Starbucks can is worse for the environment than these canisters is itching for a fight.:)
That said, I completely agree with the thermos idea. My wife bought me an Eddie Bauer branded thermos (can't remember the original manufacturer's name, although it's on the bottom of the thermos), and it works better than expected. Hot coffee stays hot for a ridiculous amount of time. And it's washable / reusable.
Yes, but even the worst Starbucks pollution doesn't include Calcium Oxide in any concentration. And the Double Shots are all aluminum, so if you have community recycling, you can put it there. I don't think there's a way to reclaim the materials in the self-heating coffee.
Hello, I'm the author of that sentence. Perhaps I can help.:)
What I was trying to get at was over 35 years ago, the only video games were played on large computers. Computer Space wasn't in the arcades yet, and Ralph Baer's pong machine was not yet commercially released.
Actually, Activision was formed by Atari programmers, so Atari programmers *could* program their way out of a paper bag. Unfortunately the problem with Pac Man was not the coder's fault, but the bean counter's fault. Pac Man would have been just fine had Atari not rushed the game to production, and had they used Todd's original plan of twice the ROM than the cartidge had. The programmers were quite capable, but the marketing department made some truly boneheaded maneuvers.

Why can I see this conversation in the Ballmer Household?
Kid: Dad, I was expelled from school today. Steve: Why were you expelled from school? Kid: Because I was caught dealing heroin on school grounds. Steve: What did I say about drugs... drugs are... wait a minute... what the hell is that? Kid: What? Steve: Don't you "what" me... those are... those are... Kid: I was just borrowing it. Steve: Like HELL you were just borrow... oh my... what did I tell you about bringing that into the house?!? Kid: But, but, it's just an iPod. Steve: You brought an iPOD into this house? You are no offspring of mine. Get out! Get your things and get the hell out of my house! I can't believe you'd bring white earbuds anywhere NEAR this house.
I've written a script in Perl called Piddlepodder. Just copy the XML feed URL into the feeds file, set it in cron, and forget about it. I've got lots of feature request that eventually I'll have time to put in there.
I'm sorry you had a bad experience with a teacher, but I don't think you quite got the point of what I was saying. My point was note-taking, not essays. Doing an essay by hand is hard work, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. However, having a class of people tapping away at keyboards while an instructor is talking can be not only distracting for the other students, but distracting to the instructor. If you have special needs (you can't take notes a certain way) perhaps something like mind-mapping or other techniques may help. If I was an instructor, I think I'd understand if handwriting is painful or impossible for you.
I'm all for using technology in the classroom, and allowing students to hand in homework and assignments with whatever tools they feel comfortable (as long as they adhere to commonly accepted standards).
That said, you got an asshole for a teacher. I'm sorry to hear it, but shit happens, and life moves on. Get over it.
I think she's right on the money. It's far more natural to write with pen and paper than it is to try to type into a keyboard, especially if it's a math class or some other special notation class. Unless it's a tablet PC, I think she's well within her rights. Hell, I'm an avid technophile (just ask anyone) and I know that note taking is better with pen and paper than trying to tap things into a Palm / Notebook.
Not only that, but I'm sure that EVERY student is busily noting what she's saying and not firing up 15 instant messenger sessions with their classmates.
Apparently new corporate methodology is to not only reinvent the wheel, but to rip out one's fingernails before attempting the process. It doesn't make sense why corporations would take what works and toss it out for something that doesn't work well, but apparently 3 million folks are learning that lesson first-hand.
Slashdot Mirror
Yes, but Redhat 7.3 was released when? 2002/05/06. That's over 4 years of support.

It also allows one to play regular, licensed copies of the games as well.
The horror!

Even better, just try to update your system using Windows Update without Internet Explorer.

Also, how do you handle a live concert that has continuous sound?
I for one was more than ready for the CD and DVD revolutions. I hate tape.

Sounds like you're running the Fedora version of OpenOffice. OpenOffice, as it ships, doesn't require gcj, or even a Java Runtime.

Sure, Windows is the most secure OS(1) out there, just as it's also the most cross-platform(2) OS(1) out there.
(1) When compared with other Windows versions.
(2) When used with other versions of Windows.
There was also the FMV PC game "Steven Spielberg's Director's Chair", which was pretty good, when it didn't crash.

Sounds like GoDaddy is trying to cash in on the lucrative BotNet market by moving to Windows.
So, maybe this is related to security after all.
