It is very likely that he actually did this because of Sarah quitting yesterday.
Choice? Options? These people were going to leave kernel dev anyway, now we get to see them try something new. Maybe it'll work, maybe not, but what's the harm in trying?
The way I read it was thus: Dev - this Idea sounds pretty rad, here is some code, merge it into the mainline kernel.
Linus - this doesn't fit with the direction I see the kernel going in
Then dev tries to force his opinions on the group, Linus blows him off with hostile language, then
Then come the big DUMBASS moment, the Dev, instead of saying "OK I will build a branch like the mm-kernel branch ETC" and then shows how his code both works with the kernel without breaking stuff and proves that there are real world advantages to his inclusions, but instead screams out " you all are big meanies", then essentially steals a clone of Linus' ball, goes and sets up a "fork" that is completely separated from the mainline kernel devs and feels smug "because he knows better than Linus" what the kernel needs.
Hell, even providing a branch with his contributions on github without all the histrionics would be fine, but that wouldn't get nearly as much attention as whining about Linus " being a big meanie with BSD hatred / envy".
I recall buying the voodoo for playing Quake 2 and all my friends commenting on the yellow light. They thought I had a defective card, but I just continued on with it. Years later I found out that the light in Quake 2 was yellow, but only when using OpenGL.
I opened a live box and proceeded to connect a new hard drive to it. I have no idea why. I do not even know what I was thinking. I just opened it up and plugged it in and then plugged in the power. Yes, yes I did blow the power supply.
I am surprised, I do that often with no ill effects, mostly with the more modern SATA power cables though, that could be the difference as they seem to be more designed for powered insertion.
I have done it with four pin power cables though, and never lost a component. I had a friend when I was younger that pulled ram on a live system as it was shutting down, that almost caused my eyes to fall out they went so wide, but didn't cause ill effects amazingly.
If my kids aren't bored in the car, they aren't a distraction to me as the driver.
But I guess it is inconceivable that someone would have a passenger, so the screens should all be locked out when in motion (including the ones on the backs of the front seats where the driver cannot see).
Running outside the chip water cooling previously, I never ran into a problem with clogging, but I can see that with this. The answer is to have filtering of the working fluid before the chip in a replaceable part. You also need a working fluid that discourages biological growth, but that shouldn't be too hard either. I am wondering how they cool the liquid without radiators or fans though.
So, since you think Corps don't need any money, where do you work?
That 91% tax rate was at a time when people got pensions rather than 401k. 401k money is who some of te shareholders are. Would you give up all your 401k profit?
Since you think we should tax corp's more, I suggest you be the first person downsized after that tax increase goes through since you think you can make money without working at a corporation.
Would there be some love interest stuff that isn't in the book?
There was actually less of a love interest than in the book, they only alluded to it in the movie with a kiss to a visor and a credits scene.

Review: The Martian
·
· Score: 1
The hydrozine part was considerably changed, and they never explained why he modified the roof of the rover. They also got rid of his "tent" and just had him laying on the rover, which was odd. All the trailer and RTG modifications also got lost, and his tumble into the crater near the end.
The parachute was explained quite a bit in the book, and Weir actually pointed it out as an inconsistency (air pressure enough to fling an antenna, but not enough to matter on take off). In the movie, they utterly failed that part of the book, the parachute instead of nosecone was the whole reason for the altitude/speed differential, but all it got in the movie was "its fighting me" from the pilot.
He was supposed to be using hab material (and later they showed the same stuff as hab material) not just polyethylene. Also, he used some aviation tape (my guess from visual, it wasn't duct tape) which would be stronger tape than the duct tape he uses on his facemask.
However, when a scene later the dust storm is blowing the patch in and out...yeah...not possible. The atmosphere isn't that much to be able to invert the patch, or make it flap in the wind.
The hab is supposed to be made out of a laminated fabric with rigid metal ribs, it isn't 3" thick at all, and was actually the reason for the airlock failure in the book (the pressure cycling was WAY more than design, and caused a slowly spreading rip to form which then failed catastrophically).
Corporations provide the majority of the jobs that everyone else works. When you raise taxes on corporations, the investors in the corporation don't suddenly decide to give up their income to pay for it, instead the companies shed jobs to compensate. So raising taxes on corporations causes less jobs, which causes less tax income.
Now, back on the subject:
I enjoyed the movie, my 15 year old now wants to read the book after watching it. As someone that went into the movie knowing everything that happens (they cut some scenes, but there wasn't very much material added), I was able to watch my parents and kids watch the movie. It was interesting to see how tense they became at many scenes, it was so good that it had my kids on the edge of their seats (literally) at many times. They did some things very well, but some of the explanations of why things happened were missing. For instance (SPOILER) they never explained why his launch ended up being too low and too slow, they just dealt with it. Also (SPOILER) the scene where he is reacting the hydrazine to produce water, he blows himself up, then goes back to the camera and says he forgot to account for the air he exhaled, next scene they show him doing it again with a space suit on, then later he walks around the area without the space suit as if the same problem didn't even exist. In the book it was excess Hydrogen getting around the flame and he detected it due to excess Oxygen in the room.
Overall, I loved the movie, I watched it in the theater, and will buy the collectors edition version when it comes out.
This documentary about a guy in a blue box that flies around told me that you shouldn't drink the water on Mars as it will cause you to spew water out of your mouth uncontrollably.

Don't get your panties all in a bunch over it, it is just a posting on the internet.

FTFY.
Heck, just look at the caricature they make of Penny's ex boyfriend. They call him cro-magnon, and he acts like he has a 30 IQ.
They are too busy rewatching old Star Trek episodes and arguing over how good/bad Babylon 5 was.
Were they colored blue or brass?

Botanist/Mechanical Engineer
But not a programmer or electrical engineer. A EE would have fixed the original hab antenna.

Than go buy a chromecast. Though for those who already have a Tivo, it acts as a chromecast.
So you can app while you app?
You could turn your CPU into a coffee maker :)

If it cracks open,
don't breath it into your lungs.

Don't get in one unless you plan on being an attentive and respectful driver.
What about the bored passengers? Don't they deserve to be more than an attentive passenger staring at the road for no particular reason?

The third place design looked very workable.
