Unless some of my very basic assumptions are wrong, this sort of cements the "active water cycle", doesn't it? I'm fairly certain that the Martian atmosphere won't tolerate something like methane snow, so what's left?
What assumptions are those? Did you take into account the 1.0 kPa atmospheric pressure on Mars, or the â'46 ÂC mean surface temperature?
Another option is the Open Office PDF-export extension. It lets you export a PDF file with the original ODF file embedded. PDF viewers read it like a PDF, the user can edit it like an ODF. One file. http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport
It's TradElect vs MarketPrizm, which happen to run on Windows vs Linux respectively.
Thank you. Some people canot grasp that businesses and individuals run applications, and that the OS is just a means to run applications. The OS doesn't run my app? I'll find one that does.
That is exactly why the Linux fanbois need to embrace Photoshop, Solidworks, and other proprietary applications on their OS of choice. The year of the Linux Desktop is in Adobe's hands.
Media players. Hard drives, in computers where there are multiple OS's. Industrial equipment controllers. I bet you even some satellites use FAT.
It's ubiquitous because it's simple and until the NTFS drivers were fixed(read:not trashing your data), FAT was one of the only convenient formats for sharing data between Windows and Linux.
My university's satellite uses ext2. I only know that because I had the chance to play with the mock satellite (full sized copy of the one in orbit) recently. But as the sat is running embedded Linux, it makes sense.
Knowing what NSA does, this Super Data Center would be used to spy, filter and record all the calls redirected it to by AT&T.
So, now we have an American agency, operating within America, and recording American telephone conversations without oversight of law.
And we have the galls to say USSR was a spy country...

Making up your own hypothetical situation and then comparing a non-existant entity to that situation is not a way to make a body look bad. It only makes you look childish.
On a stock Firefox 3.0.11 on a fresh install and no extensions, I visited about 20 popular sites (facebook.com, digg.com, xnxx.com and the like), then tried the history site. Just a big black png. Either the script is/.ed or I don't know the right sites to visit.
Making government data available online in universally accessible formats to allow citizens to make use of that data to comment, derive value, and take action in their own communities. Greater access to environmental data, for example, will help citizens learn about pollution in their communities, provide information about local conditions back to government and empower people to protect themselves.
I wonder if this means that they will be using Silverlight. And no, Moonlight did not work on my Fedora system, I couldn't open Firefox with it installed.
This somewhat deflates the excitement evident in the OP. I mean, I know what he's talking about, these apparently random 1-2 second FREEZES while working, but if the guys in LKML arn't talking about it it's probably not being really worked on.
Someone *this* in touch with not only their customers but with obvious potential customers definitely knows what they're doing.
In touch with [potential] customers?!? I quote this line from TFA (sorry): But actually talking to the pirates has revealed a huge group of people who really appreciate genuinely good games.
Really? There are people who really appreciate genuinely good games? Sorry, this dev does _not_ seem to be 'in touch' with potential customers. Nice publicity stunt, though.
Is directly proportionate to the amount of/. posts talking down on it.
Fact. I've often thought that simple talking about a language would make it popular. It doesn't matter what you've heard about PHP, if digg is always full of "PHP suxorz" articles then the user will tend to learn PHP when he needs something. This goes for casual users, not for programmers who have learned their trade at a university.
It think that the GP was referring to the library at Alexandria. The works of Pythagoras were lost there, when Amar burned it down. Do you suggest that not much of that material was very good?
i'm worried they had to say 4 * 2.5 = 10 on/. I'm worried that they'll make a super-high-speed network and forget about latency again. Consortium engineers seem to favor headline-making numbers over real-world-benefit numbers.
No, it won't. The brake pads sliding on the rotors can make heat much faster than tires sliding on pavement. In fact, that is what they are designed for. ABS keeps the driver in control of the vehicle's direction during a skid. It does not decrease stopping distance. In fact an ABS-assisted stop can be over twice as long as an unassisted, non-skidding stop, especially in the wet.
At 35, you *might* be able to come to a stop if you have ABS and lay on the brakes as hard as you can, but it's hardly an optimal condition. ABS increase stopping distance, not shorten it. The advantage is that the vehicle's path is determined by the front wheel yaw (ie, direction that the operator is steering in) while the ABS is operating, as the front wheels maintain static friction with the road surface.
I most certainly would opt into the advertising for free games. That's how I support the websites that I read, why not games? Of course, I'd expect to see the ads _after_ the game, not during. Just like I click on website ads _after_ I finish what I came to do on the site.
We'll only start deploying Vista when Microsoft gives us clarity on the Win7 timeline, or when we conclude that Vista support will be less expensive than XP to support, or when we feel that we need to start converting to meet Microsoft's XP retirement plans. You realize that could be half a decade, right? Give yourself a maximum limit, say, January 2010, then start deploying something else. Mac OS XI, Ubuntu 9.10 LTS, Sun, $whatEverIsBigThen. But don't wait indefinetly on MS, and make it clear now that you do not intend on waiting indefinetly.

Not just yellow...we don't know what color martian pee is.
It's red, all red.Just like everything else on Mars.
With an extension, Open Office can even export PDF files with the source ODF embedded:
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport
PDF readers see it as a legal PDF file to display, Open Office sees it as a legal ODF file to edit. Truly the best of both worlds.
Another option is the Open Office PDF-export extension. It lets you export a PDF file with the original ODF file embedded. PDF viewers read it like a PDF, the user can edit it like an ODF. One file.

Thanks, that is good to know. Another reason to upgrade.

Maybe, maybe for something like a thumb drive, but on a hard drive?
Or maybe I'm just scarred by microsoft's implementation of it...
Or on SD media cards. Ever heard of TomTom?
That workaround is a myth. See here for all about:config entries: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries So by using that method, not only is the user not protected, but he _thinks_ that he is protected. That's worse.

There, fixed that for you.
Works fine on my ATI Mobile Radeon x1400 in a two year old Inspiron.

I know, it looks like someone's pet bug made the cover of /. today. For the record, here is my pet bug:

I believe that's an intended feature...
I wondered how long it would take for someone to turn the thread into Microsoft bashing.
Taken from some other /.er's sig: (more or less)
Mod points are like condoms. When you have them you don't know what to do with them, and when you need them they are nowhere to be found.
