At the altitudes that the aircraft will be flying at, there is no turbulence. I'm surprised that having taken the time to tell your little story, you didn't bother looking that up.
New Zealand. It's possible to get work in the Netherlands if you're from the US (they have a sort of H1B equivalent) but the culture of hiring from outside the EU doesn't really exist. I came in on a working holiday visa (for Canadians, Australians and New Zealanders), and converted that to a work visa after it ran out (you get one year).
The tragedy isn't that this stuff happens. It is part of the human condition. Admit it. Most of us would do the same if we were in these fuckers shoes.
Actually, I wouldn't. No, really. I worked in the Bay Area for two and a half years, and the motivational carrot there is money, in cash and options. Now I'm in the Netherlands, where I get lifestyle. It's no contest, and I'm sure I'm not the only person in the world like this. Of course, CEOs tend to be money-motivated, so whatever.
For example, they have often criticized proposed evolutionary lines of descent. For example, whales come to mind. They were correct that the accepted lineage is wrong.
But if you run a scattershot of rejections over a field, you're bound to accidently hit something. This is as helpful as, say, fortune tellers being remembered for the one thing they got right, instead of the twelve thousand things they got wrong.
It's perfectly valid to make the point that he has an interest in promoting United Linux, since he does work for Conectiva.
There are ways and ways, my son. "He would, since he works for Conectiva" suggests that Marcelo is incapable of making a technical case for UnitedLinux. This is far from the truth. By all means point out the connection, but lets not dismiss anybody's opinions merely on the basis of who their employer is.
What makes the story fascinating to the Slashdot readers (and to the editors who posted it in the first place) is that it is a cybercafë which burned down. So what.
Actually, what makes the story interesting to Slashdot readers is that this tragedy has apparently been used as a pretext to crack down on all the cybercafes in Beijing.
In fact, that's what the story is about. How can you be modded insightful without reading the article? I'll never understand this moderating thingy.
What this boils down to, is that as you install these things, you also need special GSM networks. This almost certainly holds true for GPRS, etc, as well...
Well, I guess it'a all over for high speed rail then. If mobile phones don't work, who's going to use it? Nobody important, that's for sure.
I can't believe the article doesn't address this serious problem.
I think the BitKeeper license is an interesting innovation. My only problem with it, is that if I am using it for free, I am _forced_ to upgrade when new versions become available.
I think they even crossposted - meaning that a good newsreader would mark the message as already read in cross-posted groups.
No, they didn't crosspost, they sent one individual message to each newsgroup. This is what annoyed people.
It was a weird day. Each newsgroup I went to (and I was a student, so I read a lot of them) had this message. I'd never seen anything like it before, and I certainly didn't pick it as the thin end of the wedge.
You can download a Z-machine interpreter for PalmOS from here, and play all the Infocom and newer fiction, including more than half of the 2001 competition entries, anywhere. It's a treat.
In other words, don't be impressed, the average slashdot reader could do better in less than a week.
Well, that depends on whether you mean writing a bot or pretending to be human.

I'm sure we'd all like to see that versus a distorted elephant picture made by some guy driving his car around a city.
I've been told before that I'm egocentric, and make things All About Me. From now on, I'll just show people your post, and they'll never be able to complain again.
A squiggly line showing us where you've been for the last twelve months, versus a cute little elephant in Brighton. What do you think is more interesting (to people other than you)?
The conclusion is that you should hire the best people, and use whatever kinky language turns them on.
That's just lovely, and it must be nice to work in a place where all the best people go to get hired. Unfortunately, I work in the real world, and sometimes it's not possible to gather all the top programmers together. So you should use whatever language produces the most reliable results for the least money.

Oh, wait, it's Slashdot. Sorry.
Which one of you does the spelling check?

Add a Hawaiian Aloha shirt and viola... an arab waltzes right through security.
Does it have to be a viola, or will any stringed instrument do?
Attitute? I suck at this.
See, I'm even disagreeing with myself! Point proven.
Hello, AC, you big wuss you,
It's perfectly valid to make the point that he has an interest in promoting United Linux, since he does work for Conectiva.

By all means point out the connection, but lets not dismiss anybody's opinions merely on the basis of who their employer is.
He also defends UnitedLinux against Mandrake's criticism. He would, since he works for Conectiva...
Marcelo was polite and reasonable throughout the interview, and gave clear reasons for his position. What's with the bitchy editorialising?
I have spent many hours reading Salon.
Then you should have subscribed.
I know it's not much money, but still if I pay for a year, I want to know that the site will still be there at the end of that year.
There might just be a connection between these two events.
I don't understand how this figure could have been generated other than pulling it out of thin air.
Well, why don't you read the fucking report then?

Let him go to indias version of slashdot and ask THEM!
Good call! Here you go! I'm not sure if your browser will be compatible with India's version of the internet though.

I loved Sierra games as a kid. Now there are hardly any adventure games. All we got are Real Time Strategy and Action titles. No good adventure games.
Not so, young Applejacks. There's many, many fine adventure games around these days, and they have ratings and everything.
Most of them are text; but then again, the first three SQs were essentially text as well.
The quote referred to religion, not to believing in God. Thanks anyway.

I wish Linux went back to its roots.
Don't read Linux press, install from floppies, compile everything yourself, and it will feel just like it did in the early 90s.
When you wish that Linux would go back to its roots, aren't you really saying that you're annoyed about all the non-hackers using it? Poor baby!
The article couldn't be more of a troll if it lived under a bridge.

For me, that's Ada or Haskell. YMMV.
Wasn't that study discredited because it turned out that the high boredom threshold women were all your ex-girlfriends?
No, really, where did you pull this from?
Beautiful. I mean, really quite stunning. Latin characters are, well, so functional.
