Shuttle missions took 7 people up to swap 3 people on ISS, was that a waste too? After the initial missions, I would not be surprised if they send up extra people who stay a week and go down on the old capsule with the previous station crew. They just have to swap some seats around. (Each astronaut currently gets a custom Soyuz seat molded specifically for his or her own butt.)
If you pay for streaming, you aren't anywhere near superior enough. I only DVR from antenna broadcast TV (with occasional live watch) and download torrents (in other words, no subscriptions or streaming) of mostly current season anime from Japan. I have never seen Breaking Bad, The Wire, or Game of Thrones (I even ignored GRRM at a science fiction convention), and I only get to see Dirty Jobs, Pawn Stars, and Mythbusters when I visit my mother.
But I am still nowhere near the coveted top of the hipster scale: no TV at all. It's almost frightening to think about.
It would also probably be good if you enjoy moving to other parts of the country. The chance of finding a niche job in any particular city is probably rather low. When you're in the driver's seat, expect to do some driving.
Then you were doing it wrong. You should have been editing the.m4 files to generate sendmail.cf, not editing sendmail.cf directly.
Not that m4 isn't its own can of brain worms, but you can describe the typical mail site in a 15-20 line file, which is a lot easier to maintain than a 2000 line file with 15-20 lines changed from the default. And even much easier than trying to merge in updates to the "standard" sendmail.cf when upgrading to a new version.
It is entirely possible that the number of customers requiring new vehicles (even if just NASA and other government agencies) could be more than enough to supply used-vehicle launches.
The launch got delayed to the point where not only were the holidays (Christmas/New Year) coming up, but at the same time, the ISS orbit (remember, this is primarily an ISS service launch) was in a "high beta" period where it got more sunlight than normal, which would have been a higher thermal load on the Dragon capsule.
It also took ten freaking seconds to wake up a PowerBook from sleep because that's how long it took for the OpenTransport networking stack to recover from sleep. That alone convinced me to switch to 10.0 public beta, even though the power management on G4 Pismo model laptops didn't turn enough things off during sleep, making the battery die faster.
Meanwhile,/. will still not support Unicode characters outside of a very small whitelist. Historians look upon this as a major factor in why Chinese did not become the dominant world language during the 21st century.
Oh man, the guy in the next cubicle living on the phone is the worst. Mine was a guy in his 60s who had just bought a farm out in the boonies and was always on the phone about stuff like tractors breaking and coyotes in the chicken coop. Also, his wife was a total luser idiot who could never accept when he was telling her something sensible. So I got to hear him repeatedly talk over her while trying to instill her with clue. Meanwhile, I was trying to write embedded C/C++ code. And this wasn't even an "open plan" office, it was 6-foot-high cubicles.
Apple likes to use that putty type of thermal compound. I've never found any evidence to support that it is somehow better, so it's probably just cheaper. Or it might simply be harder to fuck up in the factory than using the white stuff.
I still have a "Windtunnel" G4 1GHz (four fucking hard drive bays makes a great file server, though I did have to add a SATA card) that started flaking out last summer, obviously from heat sink problems. Flipped the lid open, unscrewed the heat sink, scraped off and tossed crap putty, put on fresh white stuff, put everything back together, works great. Best part was it only took 15 minutes and I never had to pick it up off the floor, thanks of one of the best case designs of all time.
I was beginning to believe the Radio Shack mantra, until I wandered into my neighborhood store the other day. They had an impressive array of sensors and kits for stand-alone, Rasberry Pi, Basic Stamp and Arduino, as well as the aforementioned systems themselves. Also the LittleBits stuff, including the Korg synth.
They made some effort to get on the Maker bandwagon a few years ago. I think it's only now starting to pay off, where the geeks (like me) are discovering that they actually have some interesting stuff again. Sure, you'll pay a few bucks more than web-order, but you'll get it right away, even on a Sunday. But then again, there's a Fry's ten minutes from where I live, and just their components section alone puts RS to shame. Silly RS closed the two stores near me (one because the strip mall people wouldn't move their sign up into vacated spaces from stores that left), but kept the one across the street from Fry's.
Never mind that Sony had already pulled it and is now changing their mind at the last minute. Nope, can't let the facts get in the way of a good clickbait story.
That's like saying laserdisc is digital "because it's got pits and non-pits". Except that the length of the pits and non-pits is very much analog. (It's a full-bandwidth FM signal driven to maximum overmodulation. VHS does a similar thing.) In other words, the digital-ness becomes analog if you look even closer.
It was also covered a few months ago on PBS in the "How We Got To Now" series, episode "Cold". I'd link to it, but that episode doesn't seem to be currently available.
I wonder when businesses will stop trying to put band-aids on this problem and actually build a WAN between themselves that isn't the Internet, nor is connected to the Internet directly.
It won't happen unless they hire people who have a lot of clue and know how to make such things work. Which is apparently the exact opposite of what they have been doing.

Nerval's Lobster has been the cross-submission account since the days of SlashBI. Back then, his articles were even less relevant to the /. audience.

Well, at least it's not too bad a drive from McGregor.

I think they're trying for some sort of Duke Nukem Forever-tier award. Fifteen months and counting!

or another, likely more expensive buggy
I see what you did there.
after speaking with the media
Yep. You can have all the kiddie fun you want, but when you say LOOK AT ME! don't be surprised when you get looked at by the feds.
I shop brick and mortar because they take cash and they don't ask for my name, address and phone number.
It only took RS thirty or so years to get that clue.

South Korea has already mentioned plans to take this film, put it on dvd, and float balloons across the border to incite rebellion in the population.
That's nice. Do they also plan to float DVD players across the border too, so it's not just a shiny drinks coaster?
But... but... but... MUH APPLE MUH-NOPOLY!
Never mind that Sony had already pulled it and is now changing their mind at the last minute. Nope, can't let the facts get in the way of a good clickbait story.
I already watched Team America: World Police, a much better movie.
Also, AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!

Hey, I still haven't seen Star Wars episode 1, 2, or 3!
But I finally saw Team America last week after all that hubbub about The Interview.
