So by the time the technology has hit the market and the product has increased in usability to a certain level, expect stability. Sounds like a Microsoft business plan, to me. "Well, it's doesn't quite work 100% now, but by service pack 3 we'll have it nice and stable for you!"
I've heard this diatribe in too many ways lately. The point is this: you can't get something for nothing. Sure, you get a free OS and free apps and all this other free stuff, so why shouldn't music be free too, right?
Wrong. Just because you can, does not mean you should. Music is copyrighted. Music is owned by someone. Music is something. Free software, open source in particular, is something that the owners have designated to be free and spread the world over. That's their decision and is respectable. That means that it's legal to use free/open source software without paying for it because the owners have said so.
No matter what you want them to do, the record labels have not given up rights to their music and while I agree it's a horribly abusive oligopoly that writes laws to protect itself, they do still have legal rights to their music.
You can sit there on your little chair hammering away at your keyboard like a 21st century philosopher and say that music/DVDs/software/life should be free and people should get the money from other means (read: from anyone but me, because I don't want to pay anything) but the fact is that this is how capitalism works. If you want free everything and want to just hand over your wages, that's called socialism and look to the friendly island nation to the south of Florida for an example of how well that worked.
Because the average person does not save for five years to buy a television nor does the average person use the time/money logic to justify a needless expense on a television when the cheaper one will do.
No matter how long I expect to have it, if it looks good, then it's good enough. Now what "looks good" is is up to the reader.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when I compiled Linux 2.4 I saw this option (NFSv4). So is the security aspect built-in now, or just protocol complience? Or is security a part of said complience?
Somehow I just can't equate the chest-slamming force of flooring a well-tuned engine and taking off into the distance with over 400 horses under your seat with making Office load faster.
"OH YEAH!!! Got it down to ***TEN*** seconds!!! WAAAAHOOOOO!!!!! OH YEAHH!!! THAT'S THE WAY TO WORK IT, UH HUH, UH HUH, HMMMM YEAH!!!"
It's not a conspiracy, Slashdotter. No big corp is out to get you. It's a fact that some chips really are rated faster than others due to design and process.
That the process has gotten better and there's some overflow from the higher ends is another matter entirely, but it's really just a holdover from the days when it mattered.
In general the cooling gear and be reused for your next OCing adventure, but the point does stand for the sake of check-out-savings. you spend more the first time and, if you're lucky and a good OCer, you save in the end. But the number of failures tends to even it all out into a worthless adventure of tweaking that spawns very odd problems over constant usage of bad chips.
All in all, it's rarely worth it; just get the higher-rated chip and bite the cash hit.
Advantages: You become a hardware pimp and become awed for going to 1 GHz with that liquid nitro-cooled Celery 766 your mom got you at Best Buy.
Disadvantages: You go too far and are laughed at like a wannabe hardware monkey. And you're out a Celery.
I'm actually disturbed that someone is that happy about this.
People at the very least lost large amounts of money to damaged homes, at the very most were killed by it, and you're sitting happy that Gates got dusted by a cracked ceiling (assumption of damage).
The really neat thing about that article is that it relays to a section of the public (lawyers) that might not have heard about the the fight that we have been trying to make against all these damn patents.
It also details for them the stuff that O'Reily's doing to try and get the word out that they're all effective idiots for letting this crap go through.
It's an odd feeling of justification that someone outside the tech sector understands.
One of the more intersting things in that article is that the BBalls found at the impact site already held cargo: a foreign isotope of helium, which they use as evidence that the impact was extraterrestrial. Odd that this formation (buckyball) would be natural; most natural formations that I can think of do not have this apparent order to them.
Not just Mandrake. Redhat went 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 7.0. Seems like people don't want to get stuck in a specific major version for long.
Hell, Apple's worse! 6.0, 7.0, 7.1, 7.5, 8.0, 8.1, 8.5, 9.0, 9.1, 10! They not only skip up to the next major version (from 6.0 to 7.0), they mutilate the minor as well (ever heard of a x.2 release?)!
The game was pong, actually, and it was coded entirely by Woz; Jobs never got credit for that, AFAIK.
Even then, Woz's implementation on the IC was so minimalistic as to be complicated and they had to toss his design because no one could troubleshoot it if it had problems (can't troubleshoot it unless you know how it works!).
*sigh* Those were the interesting days. No patents, no copyright fights... oh, yeah, there was that Gates guy, but he never amounted to much. *gag*
It means the major number of the RPM that made the package, not the major number of the file stored in the package. It's a file format version, guys. Version 3 is RedHat 6-6.2 and version 4 is RedHat 7.

You mean like HDTV?
But that would mean that Slashcode would have to make sense?

"Buuuuuuuuud!!! Whahz!! ... urrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
Doesn't seem to stop.... Intersting theory. =)
Yeah, that's about what you do when you drink it, though it's more like *urnrrrrl* *bluuuuuuuuuch*
We need to just start over again. Fire 'em all and re-elect from a new pool. (FCC board)
Hey, man, if there's nothing on, it doesn't matter how many stations you toss in the mix, there isn't going to be anything on. =)
What frightens me is that this got modded up.
Slashdot's not dying, it's dead.

No, sorry, just doesn't do it for me.

Maybe we should use this on man files. =)
Ok, how about both pong and breakout? He wrote both, but my story was about pong. Breakout was him learning about 16 colors on NTSC. =)

Geez, these kernels just keep popping out. Can you folks give us a month or two to get used to 'em first?
