2-hour lunch breaks, 15 min smoke breaks, 5 week vacations, and 35 hours work week. It all adds up.
Raphael doesn't smoke, and he is working exclusively on Debian, living only out of donations. I don't know how much time he takes for lunch breaks tough...
Plus the original work was in German.
No, in French. Raphael is a French guy by the way, and I'm not even sure he understand German. From where did you see it was done in German first?
Plus it sounds like they hired a sleazy American marketing expert.
FYI, Raphael isn't doing any other job than his work in Debian. His only resources are donations and this book. And he is the only person working on dpkg, which really, is a key piece in Debian. Donating to Raphael is a good investment, really! Thanks for your donation.
Please don't serve us the "normal people don't know" thing here: we're on/. and a normal guy wouldn't need to delete stuff this way. He would be running windows, in which case he would just delete the files, and fill the HDD with movies he downloads from $bittorrent-site or mp3 from his friends. A normal guy isn't MFM paranoiac.
Could you please cite the errors you've found in AR7.
Things like the ice of Himalaya to be totally melted within decades instead of centuries are the most laughable. Of course, they later claimed that it was because they forgot a zero... Or the curve showing the northern hemisphere increase in temperature, and omitting to tell that the ones in the south were showing opposite results.
It would be nice to get them fixed before it's published.
Of course, I wanted to talk about the "Climate Change 2007 (AR4)" report. Just got confused with the release number and the year... Hoping that next time, they will use Ubuntu release scheme for numbering, it would be more easy!
I believe you perfectly understood, and that you on-purpose twist my words. But I'll make it clear anyway.
Phil Jones never claimed the emails were forged, he admitted the messages were from him. The results of investigation were made-up, and since we knew who they were, we guessed the result of them before their claims that Phil was clear. He was not, and we don't need a commission to claim anything to understand it.
The point is, nobody believes it anymore, since the AR7 (shorter version) is full of mistakes. And I'm not even talking about what we now think of the CRU of East Anglia who lead this work...
You'd better choose then, because if it's getting warmer, we'll have more water in the air. You'll get dehydrated if the earth cools down. It's a simple equation, I'm sure you'll understand: water transforms into a gas when there's heat!!! Gosh... maybe it's too much science for you.:)
The typical climate denier is like the 9/11 conspiracy theorist.
I don't think there's anyone to deny the fact there's a climate on this earth. And I don't think there's anyone to think that the events of the 9/11 wasn't a conspiracy (from Bin Laden or anyone else, when there's more than one guy, it's a conspiracy). Your words are typically the moronic kind from a troll...
Mind you, I know what I'm talking about. I've written some Ajax stuff myself, with drag'n'drop, and all the fancy stuff. I also wrote a toolkit myself. I also used many libs, like extjs and so on (I maintain libjs-extjs in Debian). So no, I haven't stayed in the cave for the last 10 years. I absolutely know you CAN write a GUI in HTML, but that's crap. It's like chop stick to eat a steak: it's not a tool adapted for what you want, so the result is ugly, and you get your face dirty in the process.
I really agree with that above. When reading: "The Tizen application programming interfaces are based on HTML5 and other web standards, and we anticipate that the vast majority of Tizen application development will be based on these emerging standards.", just one word pops to my mind: what a tragedy...
What made maemo a so nice platform? Simple: it's support for Qt, GTK, Python, PulseAudio, and other standards we already have in Linux. There was no need to write new application, just a bit of redesign of the UI was enough (and in some rare case, not even needed). Yes, Qt and GTK are crap, and nothing beats what we had on the TOS/GEM in the Atari computers, but that's still a way better than the HML5 or AWT which is even more crappy.
Hello guys! HTML is there for DISPLAYING WEB PAGES, it's not meant for PROGRAMMING A GUI, there's a big difference here. I'm really disappointed by the Linux Foundation that is really missing something here. Instead, they should have supported the effort in Debian to have the missing phone applications (needed to make actual phone calls and receive SMS), which is the only missing brick to get out of this mobile OS hell.
Other day, same/. topic, same answer to silly people that thinks Oracle owns it all. I was about to write more or less what you wrote, thanks for doing so. If you have moderator points, please mod parent up!!!
The record industry is full of such things. As a more recent example, ever heard about "girl's talk", which does some mash-ups? Would you say that his work isn't creation? That's what the record industry thinks, and of course, I don't share that point of view.
I got a new laptop, and as I needed Windows to access my bank (that uses a stupid USB device...), I had to ask for Windows XP (and paid for the "downgrade" from windows Vista... g8...). I was hoping to get a CD, and install it in virtual box (with, unfortunately, only the NON-ose version supporting USB device in the VM). But having no install CD, and only a recovery partition, I couldn't do that...:(
So, are you also assuming that you can't select which IP address the VNC server is binding on? Continue with this kind of revert-thinking assumptions, and you'll be mod-up "funny"!:)
What are you complaining about? Obviously, there will be options in the BIOS to disable that new feature! In the mean while, it's great options for IT support.
What features will be added to MySQL that MariaDB doesn't have?
Oh, maybe you meant "what killer features that have been already in MariaDB are still not in MySQL"? Yeaaarh, I'm sure you made a mistake. In this case...
Ever wonder why MySQL is still stuck with a single core taking 100% of your CPU, while other cores are idling doing nothing? MariaDB, and it's been more than a year it does, had multi-threading. If you didn't know, it's been written by one of the main authors of MySQL in the first place, that felt he shouldn't stay in this Oracle world. And he's doing very well, by himself... The good thing: MariaDB is ABI compatible. Yes, it's a pure replacement. Remove MySQL, install MariaDB instead, and there you go, you got a multi-threaded MySQL. That alone is enough to convince any decent admin.
So, that means you really ARE getting the 400 Mbits/s. What is your WiFi card brand on the transmitting computer? I have a 5300 iwlagn (Intel) board in my thinkpad T500, and it can never go faster than 9.1 MB/s, but that well may be because I'm using scp and not FTP / samba.
I'll be the 4th to agree that this is a very nice hardware. I didn't know it was a Cameo hardware relabeled, but that might explain why it's not as crap as other D-Link devlices!:)
I'm also running OpenWRT on it, and in fact, I bought the router just for that. I run with "extboot" mode, so that I can have the full of the GNU tools and many other services running on the router. It runs few services, like OpenVPN using the tap mode to my server, so that I can give IPv6 routing to my LAN (OpenVPN runs a small script custom that assigns a local IPv6/64, then I also run a RADVd).
There's only very few issues I had. First, it started slowing down the transfer from WiFi n, after a very very long uptime. A quick reboot solved the issue. Also, WiFi n troughput isn't as great as expected (max is about 9 MB/s to one of the gigabit port, but really, I don't know what to expect, since this is my first WiFi n router and I have very few experience with n), and the range is quite poor too. But I believe the range issue is due to stupid antennas, and I am thinking about replacing them with better and bigger ones: my laptop shows a very good signal, but it seems that the issue is the router not receiving the signal well enough (which is a good sign that the antennas are crappy). All these are really minor issues when you think about it, and especially if you consider that if you want a router that is comparable to this one, the only one you will find is about 4 times the price (with 2 separate WiFi devices, and enough RAM and CPU power). FYI, I bought mine for 500 Yuan on taobao.com (that's roughly 80 USD).
Slashdot Mirror
Are you here writing that the current maintainer of dpkg doesn't deserve a bit of money for his (huge) work?

There as been numerous independent inquiries into this matter, and Phil Jones has been cleared in all cases.
I contest the word independent in the sentence above. We knew the result of these inquiries before it was published.
If you believe the IPCC report
The point is, nobody believes it anymore, since the AR7 (shorter version) is full of mistakes. And I'm not even talking about what we now think of the CRU of East Anglia who lead this work...
I don't deny the fact that you should learn how to read. He didn't deny it.

Right. I've been doing that for YEARS using IPMI (on Supermicro servers for example). And what does it proves?

Wake up. MariaDB has been around for some time already!
Why do you care since we have MariaDB, which is already better (multi-threaded), and ABI compatible?
Gigabit goes along around 40-50MB/s.
