I think you can figure out for yourself who I am "threatening." One person may not make much of a difference in an election, but that does not mean the vote does not count.
Without the visitors, Slashdot is nothing. I think that is something everyone can agree with.
Well, if I did not know before, I now know how it feels to not give a fuck. It is great to get married, but I thought the Slashdot motto was "News for Nerds. Stuff that MATTERS." I mean, who the hell here cares about the fact that I got married (a few years ago).
You propose to her on the site. Fine. It's cute the first time something like this is done, but the second time it happens, I start to lose interest in Slashdot.
People around here have been complaining of a lack of good "Ask Slashdot" questions, and then they complain when they don't understand the question. I think people just want to complain about nothing.
The key to getting better performance is Maildir. Instead of using a single machine, use a "cluster" of machines and share the Maildir of NFS (or some other network sharing means). Of course, a maildir format mailbox would probably lower your overall utilization as well.
Not being able to get into the BIOS or updating the BIOS has nothing to do with the OS installed. If you still think it does, then take the hard drive out and try to flash the BIOS.
With the point you just made you can conclude that when you pay taxes, you are funding the killing of people. Joining the military is not going to make you any more or less guilty. However, when you get out of the military, you will be much, MUCH more enticing to employers.
Having a two year old can be rough on a LCD screen. In fact, just last night, my son used a colored pencil on my 18" desktop screen. No physical harm, just markings. I also setup an old laptop for him to bang on when I'm working (he just wants to be like me) and he used a crayon on the laptop LCD. Since I didn't care about the laptop screen, I decided to try one of the various "Orange" cleaning agents (the foaming kind) on the screen. Much to my suprise, the crayon and the colored pencil markings were removed with barely any pressure on the screens.
Both LCDs probably look better now than they did when they were brand new. No streaks, no damage, just clean.
If a business did not spend too much money on EVERYTHING, they might actually have some money left over to, say, pay their employees more. This would be a very BAD situation.
Supply, Demand. If you have everything you want, why would you buy anything else? This kind of thinking defines the American entrepreneurial spirit. Capitalism, kept in check (read, without Monopolies), works.
I figured since many people here are anti-Microsoft, most would be praising any company using Notes/Domino over Outlook/Exchange. You just cannot win with this crowd.
I have built serveral RAID configuration with IBM ServeRAID cotrollers. One RAID5 array (16 drives, 1 hot spare) that I've managed has had 2 drives fail in the past year; the only thing I've had to do is take the bad drive out, pop another one in and it is automatically marked as a hot spare.
I was expecting a hassle, but it was mind-blowing to see how easy it was. The cross-platform remote management utility is a plus too.
23 seconds is impressive. I, personally, have seen a 42 second compile time of a 2.2 series kernel on a Intel 8-way system (8GB ram, 8 550Mhz PIII Xeons w/ 1mb L2). It was in the 1 minute range with a 2.4 kernel.
Definately the most impressive x86 system I have ever seen.
I agree that it is wasteful, but if companies never wasted perfectly good equipment, I would have never had a TI-82 for Calculus. All of the demo calculators that are received at stores are thrown away when the batteries go dead (the ones with the thick plastic screwed to the back of them). I heard one that one was thrown away and I pulled it out of the trash, took the back off of it, and put in new batteries. It does not affect the stores either; they do not pay for the demos.
You mistake what I said for complaining. Dialup is everything I need, not everything I want.
If I could get DSL in my area and in my budget, I would. The same goes for dialup service. DSL and Cable are premium services, the demand is high and supply is low; I like getting more for less just as much as the next person, but that's just the way it is.
It's just a bad time to be both a high speed internet provider and consumer.
"Unlucky" Austrailians do have another choice: They can go without service. Be glad you at least have that choice. There are those of us whose only choice is dialup.

right...I guess you could be productful, too.
We have been able to do this for years with smbclient from samba. This is not news.
smbclient -n nowhere -U God -M
It's not like this is hard folks.

BTW, if you don't pay taxes, you should be shot.
IBM just released 2 patches for the last version of JFS that adds extended attributes and ACLs.

Damn you Preview button. You are only useful when I cannot press you.
Quoting whoever made created this idea, "This announcement would be a whole lot easier if I did not have the RIAA's hand up my ass."
Most GeForce 2 MXs are relatively low profile. I'm sure there are some low profile GF4MXs out there.

If it were a default setting that could be overriden, then it might not be that bad of an idea.

The same exact thing happens on Windows boxes, but we're not supposed to feel sorry for them, right?
