It's harder to avoid than you seem to think. If you use Windows help to view.chm files, you're using IE. Usually they stay local, but many help files do include
links to web pages, and then you're out in the real world.
Ok, I guess it's just not possible to put a new system of any kind into production.
What if it's not a new file system? What if it's just a new version of the existing system?
I guess the terms easy and simple are not good. But, you have to be able to test your system with simulated load to do some performance and reliability testing. What that means depends on the type of system.
For example, if it's a web server, you might have to write some simulated "user" programs to access the server. You might have to deploy this simulated "user" program on many machines (perhaps some virtual machines). You might have to run this for days, weeks or months. Whatever.
It's work, but it's not like inventing a new molecule or something.
Seriously... one of the nice things about Windows, OSX, Solaris is that they get a new filesystem once every 5-10 years. The safest thing to do for Linux is to be a generation behind. I would not run ext4 until btrfs came out. Why be the admin that gets screwed with early bugs and future incompatibilities...
I love your sense of panic.
Anyone taking the use of ext4 seriously will setup test systems where the ONLY different is the file system. And, then, beat the crap out of it and see how it performs.
It's really pretty simple to validate this type of thing.
Thats a mighty stupid assumption to be making before the start of negotiations. Send your Word-97-Formatted-Only resume to the appropriate spot, and then check what they offer.
I was simply pointing out the fallacy of believing that spending too much on software means that they will also spend more on salary. Companies that spend too much on everything don't usually stay in business long.
I've only got a handful of extensions (5) installed and Firefox 3 crashes about 12 times a week according to the logs. According to the same logs, IE has only crashed twice EVER since I built the machine 6 months ago and I use it almost as often (I'm a web developer).
I'm using ten (10) extensions with Firefox 3 and it has *NEVER* crashed. It's not the concept of the extensions that is the problem, it's most likely that some of the extensions suck.
This is what happens when you have nanny state liberals in office. Let California be a lesson to the remaining 49 on how *NOT* to run a state.
Did you forget to back that up with some compelling statistics you're saving for later? Let's compare housing values in silicon valley vs. detroit to see if you're right.
You did know that 87.3% of all compelling statistics are made up, right?
We're a Python shop. It does everything Java does that we need it to do, but is actually fun to write. If Python disappeared tomorrow, though, Java would be a no-brainer. It's cross-platform and wouldn't leave us beholden to the good wishes of Redmond.
Sorry about that "no brain" thing. Cuz if there was no Python, Ruby would be a better choice then Java. Of course, even with Python, Ruby is a better choice.
I think the general idea is that Opera makes money by selling a version for mobile uses. If they release the desktop version as open source, then someone else can port it to mobile platforms and eat into their revenue.
I use Opera Mini on my mobile phone and it's free. So I'm not following this point.
Under US law, which I'm not citing first thing in the morning, a fax is a "legal facsimile" of the original. Under law, if you have a faxed copy of something you may as well have an original.
Unless, of course, it's a forgery. Then it does not matter whether it is considered the same as the original.

Interesting. What packer would that be?
I believe it would be the Green Bay Packer. (GBP for short).

And for Slashdot readers... that's a no no..

You setup a system and let it run for a couple of months if you want to be safe. You put some load on it. Like I said, you beat the crap out of it.
I didn't say is was easy, just simple.

No doubt those at the mercy's of company's such as Telstra and Westnet...
No doubt those at the mercy is of company is such as Telstra and Westnet... There....fixed that for you. :/
You're my kind of grammar nazi!
We should focus on reuse and recycling, not vaporization.
Of course, but recycling isn't always practical.
And besides that... vaporization is just a hell of a lot more fun!!!!
Please refrain from any further use of politician and think in the same sentence.

The title should read "Bango used DURING surgery" not "Bango used IN surgery"

I think you have it wrong. Since the spend too much for software, they save by offering lower salaries. Look elsewhere.
Did this happen while you where using the mouse?
Yah, but the heavy batteries really help during the "drive" phase.

If you sing just a little bit, it's fair use...... ;)

We need a new category called Infunmative....
Nah, they should just reboot the system. That always works, I've seen it countless times in movies.
no, no, no..... You have to ESCAPE the system. What movie's you been watchin'?
and getting new ones from Norton was like pulling wisdom teeth on a grouchy alligator.
That ain't so bad......
