So you committed to it not having it, even though you weren't sure and vaguely though it might? "I'm not quite sure why Linux hasn't followed suit by now" is declaring that Linux hasn't followed suit.
Insurance has nothing to do with "spreading risk", it's just a way of paying $X/1000 instead of paying $0 of the adverse event doesn't happen or paying $X if it does - where said event has a 1/1000 chance of occuring. Of course you get overcharged because the insurance company want to make money in addition to what they make by investing their float...
If an event is more likely to occur for a particular person they should pay more for the insurance. Just like you pay more for car insurance if you have a history of crashing cars or park your car in a high crime area.

He's not a genius by any stretch, but he's smarter than the average politician (which doesn't sound like much, but...)
You are assuming his aims and goals of the Presidency are the same as what you think they are. If he was seriously trying to make America "better" and so on and so on, then yes the evidence is that he's an idiot. My suspicion is that he's not an idiot, it's just that his goals weren't to be the best President the nation had ever seen and to make America "great", and hence if you think they are he looks a fool. He just happens to be achieving other things.
There's this amazing new technology called "the internet" on which you can put "web pages". They are a little bit like pages in a newspaper, except you can edit them at any time. So when the story develops you can add an update to the existing article instead of having to produce a whole new one.
Since there's at least a few minutes before the cops arrived, if there's only 20 seconds of the movie on the tape it's going to be a very simple case to get dropped, or at least have the judge laugh it out of court when it gets there.
The "good and bad stealing" statement is great spin. Of course it means "not stealing and stealing" or even "not copyright infringement or copyright infringement"...
My desk has a glass top, unless you want the mouse to jump around randomly hen you move your legs you need a mousepad.
That said I don't use a mousepad, I put the mouse on the silly keyboard board thing that's slightly lower, and the keyboard on the desk. But for reasons I don't comprehend everyone else wants to be able to see the mouse even though you never actually look it anyway.
So I guess it doesn't matter if it then blocks a video which has taken a couple of seconds of video from a TV show in a "Review of Episode X" video post, and just happens to grab one of those keyframes?
Of course a little bit of coding and you have a program that takes that 10 minute video, splits it into 10 1 minute videos and uploads them. The ones that got rejected it splits into 10 6 seconds videos and uploads them. Rinse and repeat until you have however small an set of rejections you asked it for. Then it cuts out just the necessary fragments of videos (replacing them with the last good frame or something?).
Of course that can be worked at google's end by adding a delay to the report rejection step, and by banning those who get lots of rejects.
It's not pushing it all. It's storage, it's network attached, it's in a box... What I am pushing is the poor little linksys device. It's plugged into 4 USB hard drives (plus a thumb drive, but that's just for booting) which it's running software RAID5 on. Poor little thing, if it could scream I'm sure it would be. Sadly it's the only machine with a C++ compiler on it at home these days...
Please don't tell the poor thing it's running on MIPS, the ARMv5TE kernel might just freak out and collapse the universe.
My local ARM NAS box running linux, of course it uses dynamic linking, I'm not a sadist. If I statically link the executable size for the iostreams versions is double the size of the stdio version.
C++ libraries are big I'd assume if you wanted to use them in a low-RAM environment you'd write/buy/steal/download space efficient implementations (if such a thing exists, templates are embedded pretty deep and they bloat the binary).
What the toolkit is compiled with is irrelevant. You're not using it unless you are compiling code targeted to MS Windows, which I don't think you are. Doing the iostream versus stdio hello world on local gcc gives a difference of 496 bytes hence my guess that the way MinGW links libraries might be the reason for the bloat. And since MinGW targets win32, bloat is simply not an issue.
No one has ever complained of headaches/etc (aside from a case of pneumonia which I'm pretty sure isn't cause by radio waves) at my place - we've had a lot of visitors staying for a few days in the last couple of years.
My laptop picked up 45 access points last time I ran network stumbler. Plus there are 4 always on 11g clients. In a one-and-a-half bedroom apartment.
I would expect someone to have had a seizure upon stepping out of the elevator...
One of them managed to lose some weight and remain super-too-big-to-walk-obsese, that weight was greater than my weight, my wife's weight, and my son's weight combined.
He managed to lose an entire family, and was still obese. That's a talent right there, of course I think they cut a normal person sized lymphedema form his leg, which makes losing weight not so hard.
Wowsers you get irritated easily - other people being pleased with their purchasing decisions is "extremely irritating" when those decisions differ from yours.
Sure if they are using said iPhone to play loud music, or to reflect the sun into your eyes, or something. Hope you're taking your blood pressure meds.
How is that fixed? What's the difference from randomly determining that the player will win the first N-1 plays, and lose the Nth; and randomly determining at each play whether it wins or loses? Assuming the probabilities are done correctly of course.
Some slot machines (well usually video poker machines, since playing those perfectly isn't so straightforward) have payouts slightly above 100%, so the casino can advertise their existance. But they won't have many and they'll be hidden in a corner somewhere mixed in with less than 100% machines and you need to decode the payout table to determine which is which.
Streaks are irrelevant from the casino point of view, each game is independant that one player goes broke and hence stops playing due to a bad streak doesn't matter because another player will step up to play the machine anyway.

The commitment was in the part I quoted. That's why I quoted it.
I disagree, the title is pretty much a give away as to whether linux has atime or not.

There's a huge difference between stupid and inarticulate.
Bush is one, but certainly not the other.
No, they are talking about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_generation
Which is why I said "add an update" and not "change the article".

That's exactly the same way round.

So over 10%. Which probably doesn't include state and local contractors. Or the industrial part of the "military-industrial complex"...

Of course if you do happen to go on winning streak they'll just 86 you, because casiono's are run by retarded monkeys: http://www.brodietech.com/liontales/2007/06/fall-
