The problem with having the margin as low as a couple of km's over the limit is that you constantly check your speedo instead of focusing on the road. A reasonable margin would allow you to keep your eyes on the road and not ride the brakes.
Indeed. Not only that but speedos just aren't that accurate so you can think you're dead on the limit but actually be 4km/h over.
OpenServer administrators will be pleased to see that Version 6 supports dynamically loading kernel modules.
This is an outrage. Dynamically loaded kernel modules? That's way too complicated for SCO to have developed themselves in-house without significant support: they *must* have stolen Linux IP.;)
Thanks for remaining cool-headed to my somewhat curt reply.
I think I'm fairly safe here in Australia but can't say for sure: I certainly don't have the time or inclination to worry about it.
I'm not Jewish but a *lot* of my friends are and I love them all but Isreal disappoints me to say the least. Isreal and Palestine seem to be in an Eye for an Eye livelock: neither is willing to budge an inch. So the killing continues and the people live in fear. I think that sucks.
I doubt we'll kill terrorism by trying to kill all terrorists. It's very similar to the War on Drugs: you catch a few, then 10 more pop up (e.g. pissed off friends, family, etc). We need to stop giving them reasons to be terrorists in the first place. Sure there are fundamentalists who cannot be reasoned with but I'd expect them to be pretty few and far between.
Think about it man: they're using suicide bombers because that's about the only way they can touch you. Isreal's military is bankrolled by the US: you fly Apache helicopters in. From the outside looking in you both look bad.
And I'm SO glad I don't live in some African country, where I could be killed just because somebody had a spare bullet in his AK-47 and I just happened to pass by.
Indeed. Don't get me started on Africa:)
You mentioned China as well: they're interesting for a number of reasons. I've always wondered how they got away with running over students in tanks. I think China is potentially a much more dangerous superpower than the US. At least in the US there's a bit of self-criticism and discussion.
1) You know what? Here in Israel, *everybody* gets their bags checked in every public place (including restaurants, malls, any building with public offices etc.). Moreover, all the cars are opened as well. And, sorry, you may think that this is government implementing draconian surveillance, but actually, it is a necessity.
I'm so glad I don't live in Isreal: sounds fucked.
Exhaust performance is about tuning, not size. If your pipe is too wide, it doesn't scavenge right, increasing backpressure, lowering engine performance. You need the right size, airflow speed is critical here
Too right. I find this particular ricer mod common and particularly amusing. To me, it's usually saying "I know better than the engineers who *designed* this car". LOL.
I'm going to try to convince my mum to buy a Mac next. It won't be a hard sell I think: she hates Windows. She just needs something that works consistently and Windows doesn't give her that.
But you'll pry Linux from my cold, dead fingers. There's no way I'd go back to a closed OS: that's about 10 steps backwards for me. It's Linux or *BSD all the way baby.

but only if you live in Fanboy Land where Linux is the answer to every computer-related problem.
Or, for instance, you run the fastest supercomputer in the world.

Linux only scales well on said 'large SMP systems' where there has been a tremendous amount of hand-holding by the vendors of said hardware.
Where did you pull that from? Care to cite some hard numbers or a technical discussion?
Of course not: you've just decided that the above is true because you want to believe it.

Yeah agreed it's silly to whinge.

It does seems odd when an Apache developer chooses PDF rather than HTML for his presentation format. Maybe there's a subtle message there
