    I wouldn't, but they haven't paid yet!

    ...consume 5 times less power, and be 10 times cheaper

    *sigh*

  4. Re:Two weeks on CentOS Administrator Reappears · · Score: 1

    Two weeks is also the time it takes for the CIA to fully grow a clone.

    Ridiculous. A long lunch is plenty of time.

  5. Re:More likely on CentOS Administrator Reappears · · Score: 1

    Does RedHat really require a separate license for each VM?

    RHEL is supported for up to 4 VMs and 2 sockets ('Benefits' tab at the bottom). RHELAP, on the other hand, has no such limitations.

    An electric typewriter that we still have at work has a Core 2 Duo. One of my light switches is "Powered by Corsair".

  9. It's a PC. on Next Console Generation Defined By Software, Not Hardware · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Sounds like they're trying to turn the console into a locked-down PC.

  10. Re:holy crap on Prototype Vehicle For the Blind · · Score: 1

    Combining this with a computer override to prevent collisions would improve things.
    Although if it's good enough to keep a blind person from crashing it's probably almost good enough to drive itself.

    Are there any rules regarding driverless (or even passengerless vehicles?

  11. Re:But with WalMart on The Downsides to Digital Distribution · · Score: 1

    I was going to use 'consumables', but I didn't feel that quite fit.

  12. Re:You're stupid! on Arizona Considers Selling Capitol Buildings · · Score: 1

    Lets start cutting all the crap out of budgets, removing social programs that don't work...

    And who gets to decide what is/isn't working and whether the stuff that works is worthwhile?

  13. Re:Wait, what--? on Arizona Considers Selling Capitol Buildings · · Score: 1

    Officially, anyone that lands on a mortgaged property can buy it from the bank. So all you've managed to accomplish is subsidize someone else's purchase. It's not a big deal though. I've never lacked the money to buy a property.

  14. Re:Decent text editor still not included right? on Emacs Hits Version 23 · · Score: 1

    if it's not a text editor any longer, and is now the beginning of its own OS, then let it be identified as such.

    Linux started as a terminal emulator....

    'round here, they just can't compete with a real grocery stores in the edibles category. And they take second place in energy drink prices.

  18. Re:Nothing personal, just a different opinion on Debian Decides To Adopt Time-Based Release Freezes · · Score: 1

    I run Debian stable on my laptop, and I don't see why I would run Ubuntu instead of Debian.

    Lack of Ext4 support for existing partitions is what's keeping me on Ubuntu. I'm waiting for the Testing images to support it, but I don't think that'll happen until it gets 2.6.28. Unless you know another way?

  19. Re:Think of the towers on Apple Says iPhone Jailbreaking Could Hurt Cell Towers · · Score: 1

    Security by obscurity does not get you very far.

    It's kept people from attacking the towers with homebrew devices.
