Funny thing is that the only names I recognize from those you mention are Hitchcock, Kubrick and Kurosawa. From the rest only name of movie is sort-of recognisable.
There should be some award given many years after, for those movies that stand the time.
This is easily on of the best interviews I've seen on slashdot in a long time.
Yeah, so true. And all thanks to me.
Why? - you may ask. Well. Because every time I'm on a brink to delete/. from my bookmarks, history and CTRL-H keybind (yeah, I'm pathetic), they manage to pull stuff like this.
Another fun trick was to use a standard fax machine with a continuous loop of paper. Let that baby run for about 10-15 minutes and you'll create a lot of clutter on the receiver's end.
..that blogging can be officially declared out, just as the newsgroups was when someone let the hordes from AOL in.
Can't see what you mean here. I for one use nntp daily, and have best conversations there (I do admit that I'm using Finnish/sfnet side of it, it's quite rural). I also do a blog, but it's less active than my nntp side. (My whole site is run by a blog software blosxom).
So far I've used python for: - a X 4.3 <a href="http://iki.fi/psavo/pub/code/xcurs">curso r editor</a> - a thumbnailer (shortish script, ~100 LOC) - a file/data sorter, image classifier.
Python was _very_ much worth learning it, best language I've used to day (unless looking at some scheme -weirdness). Strength is that it can implement stuff very quickly, and most thing can be runnable separately, tested.
I can't believe how this is feasible for them. From my POV, they're loosing money here all this time the iTunes store isn't running in Europe. I think they'll have a lot to explain to shareholders, eg. 'Why didn't you pursue this business model as soon as it showed it's potential?'.
Try getting a patch without review to the vanilla tree..:)
You say vanilla but I expand vanilla into 2.5 as well. Recently a pci_for_each_dev macro went away in a 'puff' without any prior notice from Linus. You can read some grumble from Dave Jones' diary (5th June 2003).
Check following code:
pvsavola@tienel:~$ apt-cache show distcc Package: distcc Priority: optional Section: devel Installed-Size: 288 Maintainer: Paul Russell <prussell@debian.org> Architecture: i386 Version: 2.5.1-1 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.1-1), libpopt0 (>= 1.7), adduser, debconf, netbase (>= 4.09) Filename: pool/main/d/distcc/distcc_2.5.1-1_i386.deb Size: 105268 MD5sum: be492277ca73441ea42aafc48883f63d Description: Simple distributed compiler client and server distcc is a program to distribute compilation of C or C++ code across several machines on a network. distcc should always generate the same results as a local compile, is simple to install and use, and is often significantly faster than a local compile. distcc does not require all machines to share a filesystem, have synchronized clocks, or to have the same libraries or header files installed.
(In 20 years time we'll probably see Torvalds daughter marrying the Swedish king!)
AFAIK in Sweden there's a chick first in line for throne, so that would be 'interesting'. But oh well, swedes.... just do it. Could be first married lesbian queen.
But I just love those names. It bring memories from Iain Banks' books. (he has universe in which spaceships are self-aware and have names in style of 'Just Testing', 'Killing Time').. read more here.

Ahem. Minorities?. You do realise that whities are the minority in overall stats..

The best part with doing it with Linux - it runs only what I want it to. There's no windows interface that may crash if pushing it too hard.
The fun part is that with a GUI it's really hard to push a program hard.
Uphill, both ways, at 30 degrees below zero with 3 inches of visibility.
Ah, American. It's -30C amidst hottest summer back here in Finland.
But SMART only warns you if something they can detect about to die.
So true. S.M.A.R.T did nada when a bottle of deaodorant fell onto my harddrive last year.
This is easily on of the best interviews I've seen on slashdot in a long time.
Yeah, so true. And all thanks to me.
Why? - you may ask. Well. Because every time I'm on a brink to delete /. from my bookmarks, history and CTRL-H keybind (yeah, I'm pathetic), they manage to pull stuff like this.
Great many thanks to Charles for this!
This technology would be very useful for extremely realistic firearms training. Think FPS with real guns ...
Sure! This vapor+projector equipment must be way-way cheaper than cardboard used today..
Slightly OT, but this makes one think about in exactly what sicrumstances one thinks of strawberry flavoured condoms..
For a tiny moment I read that as iD1OTpc..
But then again, that would be far too fitting to be !true.

Like somebody is still using paper faxes.

Unfortunately that can't be linux with it's uptime wrap-around (afaik fixed in resent versions).
It uses Linux!
But it has copy protection!
I think my head is going to explode with this paradox.
Most filesystems in linux do come with copy protection. It's most often used with chmod +/-r command.
2) I know I'm going to get a lot of flack for this, but, opera doesn't have a mail client.
You know what? Crawl out of your cave and test Opera 7.0. It does have a mail client. (Never used it, but it is there)

Sun purchased drivers and other stuff to use in its i86 version of Solaris,
Hmm.. So that's why slowaris on x86 is so shitty.
The point was the even though the plane offered 10,000 times more bandwitdh, the 80 minute latency meant it wasn't a viable replacement. (emph. mine)
So you're using those [RM]IAA 'equivalent' CD-burners?
I didn't know NASA had enough money to donate, with all the cutbacks and whatnot.
Sounds more like outsourcing facilities to more competent business?

AFAIK galeon has this ability (I tested it about a year ago). Also 'HEAD' command can tell this info, unless timestamps on server itself are botched.
