Sure they are, IN those countries. If I make $300 USD/mo. in Mexico, I'm living pretty well vs. $300 USD/mo. in the US is.. well.. You'd live in a motel at best, eat Ramen every single night, drink nothing but water and Kool-Aid.
Figure $180-220 per week avg. at a minimum wage job. Personally, I'd like to see people flat out refuse any job that doesn't pay cost-of-living, but I don't want to live on the streets either.
Thank god I have the will to get up in the morning and actually go do my job, and do it well. Keeps me in home and food.
I totally agree. For most of the tech crowd I know, the choice of AMD vs. Intel is usually about price. Granted, we have some seriously hard-core gamers that want every OP they can squeeze from a proc, and their decisions on gear is usually based on what is out right now. Sometimes it's Intel, usually it's AMD.
I know for myself, I'm a price junkie. If it costs less for the same power, I buy the cheaper which up until recently has been AMD. (Though I do have one system that's Intel, but I got the proc, m/b, and memory for free.)
Frankly, I'd like to see it go to either bounties, purchasing mass-licensing for some codec that would be beneficial to open source, or maybe paying a hardware vendor to put together driver-level specs for their product line. I think that's one of the reasons a lot doesn't get released because someone has to spend the time putting the info together and that costs the company money.
Hell, it's no better on the other side of the country. You might get served, you might not. I've gotten to where I have the restaurant's number in my cell, so if I need a refill and it takes too long, I call the place.
Only takes me doing that once or twice before I can go a year without bad service.
Oh, let 'em stew on it.. Someone's gonna be a whiner, might as well be him. I really enjoyed the flick (and luckily, in digital format.) I rank it with Empire. Not better, but equal.
Sometimes I think the sensationalists brag on the first 3 movies soley because they watched 'em twice and don't seem to realize that they're just as cheesy, monologued, and campy as the others. It's what makes 'em so enjoyable. No half-hour diatribe on transporter matrix malfunctions, just a bin of tools falling on top of Han.
I say Episode 3 was what he should've aimed for with Ep. 1. I felt my money was well spent!
Boy, no kidding there. Registries really make a lot of integration between applications and even between multi-user sessions SO much easier. M$ just gave them a really, REALLY bad rap. Unfortunatly, because of this, it'll be near impossible to impliment registry-like setups within Linux because of the insane number of short-hairy trolls that'll come out of the woodwork.
Amen, brother! I just stopped smoking, and it's KILLING me not being able to just get up and walk off for a little bit. Well, I can, but what would I do?
And I'd like to thank you, ahead of time, for taking yourself out of the gene pool, since someone who spouts as dumb a statement as that is gonna kill themselves one day getting out of bed.
I hate this attitude. Just because I choose to see the realities of our world doesn't mean I'm not an optimist. I choose to see the realities because I want to do something to improve them.
No problem. Reality is Bush and the current offices will be depopulated in 2-6 years due to that wonderful bit of democracy called elections. Bush can't run for office again, so just hope the Democrats can find a better candidate this round to beat whomever the Republicans nab to toss up for election. Hillary Clinton ain't gonna cut it.
Want to do something about it? Come up with some way for a car to run off water (recycling the same water for zero emissions), patent the technology, and give it to GM, Ford, and Dodge. That takes a WHOLE lot of money out of the way and a lot of power out of the existing elects' hands.
Now, if they'd said something to the effect of "More facts THAT don't make a better argument" or "More fact's don't NECESSARILY make a better argument" it would have made sense. As it is, the article reads as though the author was just scribbling something down.
Their seas were never yellow. They were green. Santa used to live on mars, and he's the one that told my dog that told me. So, I consider my information solid, accurate, and up to date.
I might be remembering wrong, but I thought the moon's gravity was 1/6th of the Earth's grav, which is why working under water provides a similar environment.
Could someone comment on the speed comparison between 2.8 and 2.10. I saw a significant increase from 2.6 to 2.8, and was wondering if I would see another one with 2.10's responsivness and load times.
Also, what's the advantages of GCC 4.0? I've noticed quite a few updates with GCC 3, and was curious if it was just more optimizations or if they were simply adding more proc support to it. I've been using 3.4.2 under FC3 and a uClibc project, but I'd like to hear some other comments or views on it.
No KDE/Gnome/XFCE/TWM jihads, please. I'm looking for solid comparison.
Yeah, I did.. I just have a horrible short-term memory. I, unfortunatly, noticed my little error just as soon as I re-read the post. Score -1 for me for attentiveness.
Well, if you license under GPL, you're supposed to include the LICENSE file which includes the GPL in it's entirity. Now, if you haven't been including the license in your package, that's a problem you need to remedy. The license itself has the version number at the top, so it's easy to identify. You may want to clarify from here on out, which version you are licensing under, but from the usual standpoint, it falls something like this:
Developer: It doesn't have a version number, so it refers to the earliest version Business: It doesn't have a version number, so it must be the most recent Reality: It has no version number, so it would apply to the current version upon creation of the software Legal: Pay me lots o' cash, and I'll make something up and back it in court. *Crosses-fingers*
I use it at work for testing all of our servers. You have the option of testing CPU, Memory, IO, or VM, and it will most certainly put a heavy load on the server.
Well, can't say much for the 2nd test, but the 1st rather surprised me. I know at one point the NOT NULL flag actually caused errors on insert/update statements within MySQL. Kinda wonder when that was broken and never fixed properly.
Least it's some points to show to the dev team, if you haven't already.

This is your brain...

Any questions?

So that means, we have broadband.. I knew I was getting stiffed! Fork over your half of the cable costs, bro!

THAT is realism.
More facts don't make a better argument.

But do I lose speed with mod_fastcgi calling PHP or do I have to re-write PHP scripts with #!/bin/env php on all of them?
AHHHHHHH! Ok, thank you! Figures.. stupid negative numbers. Now I'll go back to my regularly scheduled crisis.
with a balmy -58 Fahrenheit (-50 C).
My math shows -50 C = -122 F. Please tell me I was doing something wrong or that NASA did NOT write that estimate.
Used the formula: F = C(9/5) + 32

Many thanks! I couldn't figure out the Dr. Mario one. The one right after it is the music from SMB when you get the invincibility star.

There's a software package called 'stress' that should fill your needs nicely.
