Yep. Happened to me yesterday building nVIDIA drivers, I use tcsh normally, switched to bash, set the enviroment variable bash-style but forgot to -export- it (CC_IGNORE_MISMATCH) - d'oh!
It depends if you're worried about some scary spooky aspect of GM (believing it makes you or your kids grow fur, a second head, whatever) or if you're worried that someone will find the GM stuff growing in your field and take legal action because you don't have a license for it. How do you prove you didn't steal a few seeds?
RTFA and you'll see that all the worls CDs done this way equates to less than 0.1% of total production.
I saw a TV program about "Freegans", (I think) people who are so appalled by the waste of food we throw away that is perfectly edible and OK in appearance, they go round dumpsters and eat some of it themselves. We're talking whole boxes of nice looking carrots thrown because one went mouldy, fine stuff thrown away because the supermarket over ordered and can't expect to sell it.

Well said. VLSI Technology used to encourage us to put a dedication in the corner of our designs. The first I ever did was to my daughter, born 15 years ago today. The second one was to Stevie Coppell's Red 'n' Blue Army (and if you understand what that means and read Slashdot, I'll be very surprised).
Understandable. IIRC, 68000 and 68000 used 32 bit registers internally, the 68008 had an 8 bit bus and the 68000 a 16 bit bus. So you're both right. And I'm likely wrong 'cos I'm writing this using neurons that I haven't accessed since 1983 or so.
I'm uncomfortable with what =you= imply. The parent of your post makes a good (and funny) point. Your post, ostensibly so caring and considerate, so PC, denies the intelligence and social skills of the poster, the Slashdot audience, the BBC audience, and Bill Thompson.
I dunno, I didn't RTFA, but it would be nice if, should your CPU or motherboard blow up, or if you wanted to swap it out temporarily (with the power off!) to faultfind something, you could use another motherboard, not identical to the original, and everything would "just work". You might need more stuff on your drive "just in case" (especially if you swapped an AMD64 for a Via C3 mobo) but something that could cope with minor CPU differences might have its uses. Then some sort of hotplug-like framework might make sense. Mumble...
I was prepared to walk a mile in your shoes, I was even prepared to overlook the goose stepping remark, but you lost all credibility with that last sentence. You're not a racist raving lunatic, because there's nothing racist about bombing the species back to the Stone Age with no means to bootstrap ourselves out of it next time around.
The BBC licence fee is equivalent to $16 a month and easily provides 16/40 * 100 = 40 hours a month of stuff I want to see, and all those nice radio streams at BBC Radio 4 such as this one. If all my taxes had such unambiguous returns, I'd be well happy
Hey, thanks, I've learned something! Unfortunately for me:( because I've been trying to script (using Tcl) a tool to take mjpegtools editlists and use mencoder to produce a compressed movie from an MJPEG movie (huge!) plus mjpegtos editlist directly without needing an intermediate (again, huge) MJPEG file. It sort of works, so your post might explain its quirks. What fun! Good suggestion too, let's hope some mencoder folks are reading this.

MPlayer supports my DC10+ card (as does mjpegtools of course). I'm not aware Xine does. For those who don't know, DC10+ is an MJPEG-in-hardware card with composite and SVHS ins and outs.
(but of course -ss and -endpos use DIFFERENT UNITS)
Are you sure? (I just looked again at my wrapper script, you had me worried.) The units are the same (seconds) but -ss is relative to the start and the -endpos value is relative to the -ss value. I guess you know this, I'm posting just in case anyone else scratches their head over this. I consider mplayer to be like a crossword puzzle with half the clues missing, you know it can be done, getting there is half the fun.

The parent post is word for word identical with a post appearing below the newsforge article, which has received many replies. Anyone interested in the parent might find the newsforge replies interesting too. I'm intrigued by the tone it adopts, terse and to the point, formal. Curious.
I'm no expert, but I've come across such terms. Google for "simulated annealing". IIRC it's one way to do things like printed circuit board layout (think how complex the pattern of wires on a mobo is) and the term was appropriated from what happens in metallurgy.

I forgot my ATM PIN, but weirdly, only when I used one particular ATM - my brain worked fine at other ATMs. I'm still really scared of the voodoo ATM.
