I'm eager to ask, does he think that an increased presence of Linux in Iraqi homes during the last war would have had some impact in the way information was delivered to the outside world ? Would it have improved the way the major news channels "translated" the events ?
By becoming public, google loses the ability to continue with constant steady growth and innovative R&D.
"Growth" will be expected year after year - the innovative ideas that have made google so successful will give way.
So you say that if people obsessed with growth show up, google would magically lose the ability to grow ?
the innovative ideas that have made google so successful will give way
Of course you realize that google stands up as an example for many, and that doing the IPO online maybe would attract people that are in tune with google's ideals and previous strategies ?
No, I won't bid on a share.
By your own words, if you're not planning to be providing "constant steady growth and innovative R&D" the next few years, please do so.
I was saying that, though "people" is always plural, there is no plural syntax for "people", i.e. you won't find "peoples" anywhere. The same goes for "software", you just don't say "softwares", so the whole "-warez" analogy is flawed IMHO.
Needless to say, you used a very poor comparison.
I'm sorry if you have something against people or milk, but that doesn't affect the validity of my statement.
Given your sig, it seems that you're biased towards "finding 21st century ways" to stop spam, but towards "using the old ways" to stop people from putting "." in their $PATH.
If these were screenshots of KDE, everyone would be oooohing and aaaahhhing. Well, except the GNOMEs.
Sorry, but you're mistaken. If those were screen shots of KDE, everyone would be flaming about how it copies Apple and QT's once-proprietary license. If those were screenshots of GNOME, people would start calling Pennington the Antechrist.
Curiously, Mac and Longhorn seem to be the only platforms that keep/. users ontopic lately;)
btw, if you run bash you can try "`which apachectl` restart" which both locates the binary in your path and runs it.
As an aside, that's the kind of thing that makes me love the command line. You can do much more than with an UI, provided you know a little about how things work.
People should choose whatever suits them best, but we shouldn't keep our young from learning the command line. Usable (even under XP/Longhorn) for ages and probably forever.
Is this what slashdot evolved into ? A top-500 list of supercomputers decided upon using dubious benchmarks that are not representative of computing power ?
Doesn't any of us remember that FLOPs, as MIPS, are Meaningless Indication of Processor Speed ?
It's no wonder that the FBI won't spend time on this. People DNS-poisoned like the submitter must abound these days, and if the federal agency investigated all such cases, its activity would grind to a halt, which Administration doesn't want, unless I'm mistaken.
Install your own DNS server. Under a good linux distro it takes no time if you know how to do it, two hours if you have to RTFM and understand it beforehand.
Under Windows I heard it's nastier though, with requirements for Active Directory (uh ?) and admin access to the PDC.
If you can spare a outdated box at work, consider installing a DNS on it and use it from your own box.
Such attacks will be more difficult to perform on you then.
There's no technological reason to expect PCI-Express devices to have any more or less DRM than PCI.
Actually, it depends on your content/key ratio. If you have only one 512-bytes key to send for each sound file played, it won't make any difference indeed.
But when you start associating keys to groups of sound samples (or movie frames), you may end up transmitting more crypto than content. More bandwith would be a boon in this case.
However I don't know if this kind of implementation is planned for DRM (I don't know my enemy this well yet;) but if "content creators" want to be able to reuse sound samples or movie chunks while ensuring "rights protection" (barf), they would be better off building keys for each chunk of content...
Or is this just yet another way to force us into a new upgrade cycle?
Or maybe current PCI devices don't support DRM out of the box ? Please upgrade your bus techno, so we can use all this extra bandwidth to transfer huge crypto keys to/from your hardware, just in case you want to play a copyrighted sample on your soundcard:)
Slashdot Mirror
Indeed my friend.
:
Least productive tools of the '90s
1) Clippy
2) ClassWizard
And what exactly do you call a "lightweight" office suite ?
;)
Any office suite without the clippy thing ?
Well, for a start, Windows costs much more ;)
Since the first war I sincerely doubt our fellow Iraqi geek can line up the money to buy a licence.
(Yup, some other OSes count as free too but the article was about Linux...)

Also note that many modern incarnations of linked lists use an allocator that requires sequential memory and make their own chunks from that.
AFAIK even glib has these.
I heard some even spawn a troll account to play the game from the other side ;)
Obviously, masochistic people really are reading slashdot :)
Why are you complaining ? Score 0, Informative seems appropriate.

Uuuhh...people is plural.
:)
Yes, maybe I didn't use the proper terms
I was saying that, though "people" is always plural, there is no plural syntax for "people", i.e. you won't find "peoples" anywhere. The same goes for "software", you just don't say "softwares", so the whole "-warez" analogy is flawed IMHO.

Those "idiots" who say "wa-rez" surely do so because "software" doesn't have a plural form in english (just like "people" or "milk").
I don't like to nitpick either, but this would be even better :
;)
ls 'select files where (type="audio" or type="video") and artist!="shakira"'
Just my 2 cents
Given your sig, it seems that you're biased towards "finding 21st century ways" to stop spam, but towards "using the old ways" to stop people from putting "." in their $PATH.
...modifiying video drivers to achieve its effects.
:)
That may be what that NVidia driver benchmark scandal was all about
Good idea, but it also screws up the Back button on most browsers, and is not recommended AFAIK...

which (1) is a useful command.
Get yourselves up and fork GNOME already !
Interesting idea... Now go patent it quickly before Amazon wakes up :)
Wouldn't they say rinakusu ?
