My bad. I can't get the vehicles to drive right. They seem to have a mind of their own. Guess I'm too old. I'm sure the pre-teens do a better job of driving them than this middle-aged person.
I'm more of the "hey...there is someone. Yup...looks like he's on the other team...lets aim and take a shot at...oh crap...he already shot me" type.
Just heard TV Party on the radio yesterday (to my wife asking "what the hell is this?") Would make for some interesting board meetings and competition.
Actually I thought the problem was that 2.6 broke some things in the whole video4linux setup, not so much the drivers themselves. At least that's what I've read on the net and e-mail, so it must be true:)
I just bought a 2004 model car. I opened the hood to look. It was all nice and clean and crammed in there. Other than the fluids, I don't think I could do something even if I knew what I was doing.
The car that this one replaced needed a speed sensor replaced. You could not do that without either a "special tool" or dropping half the exhaust system...all so you could get at a 10mm bolt to replace the sensor.
I'm beginning to think they build the engine and then as it goes down the assembly line they build the car around the engine!
Not sure about the chocolate, but I put cinnamon in my chili all the time. Excellant stuff.
The skyline chili is much too watery for me (especially if you buy it in the store - it's terrible). My mom is from Cincinnati and we had chili spagehtti a lot growing up. She made it with "Van Camp's Chili w/o beans" which was excellant for it. Alas, they don't make that any more:( She's tried lots of other things, but it just doesn't work.
Anyway, basically you need some chili beef seasoned up a bit...it's not quite like just taking the winner of the chili cookoff, putting it on spaghetti and adding cheese. It is it's own unique kind of chili.
Actually, I've come to like the variation that Steak and Shake sells. Not quite the same, but as the closest skyline I know of is 9 hours away, it'll have to do.
I do know that if people didn't grow up around the concept of chili spaghetti, their immediate reaction is always one of WTF!
Sorta kinda. It sounds more like a chroot jail, just a little larger. Some calls are intercepted and zonified - so one process will think the machines IP is 10.0.0.1 and another will think it's 10.0.0.2 because they are in different zones, where the machines actuall IP may be 10.20.10.1.
With VMWare/Bochs, you are running multiple copies of the OS...one for each virtual machine, running under one master OS. With this zone method, it's basically the OS lying to it's programs about various things!
When my daughter was three, I would show her GTA3, as she thought the moving images were neat. I would show her how I could make the guy run around, jump and drive a car. Then I'd do something like drive off the bridge or something, which she thought was funny.
Guess it just never occured to me "hey...lets show her how I can pick up a hoe, get laid and then beat the hoe up for her money." Seemed like a bad idea to me.
Please don't delete the models for Shelob yet...they may be needed in the near future, scaled down a little.
thanks.

Really, they should do this as soon as they can while Hugo Weaving, Ian McKellan and Ian Holm are still about the same, and the Rivendell and Shire sets are still there (hopefully!)
My biggest problem after watching that scene again is the people manning the posts. Okay...it looked cool having fires at the top of the world, but how is someone supposed to man such a remote post 24x7 and survive?
Did a firmware upgrade that failed once. Borrowed a friends BIOS (same one), booted off it, pulled the BIOS out while the system was running, popped my dead one back in, and reflashed it. Scary as hell, but it worked.
My current motherboard has a jumper that if the BIOS fails in a flash, you set the jumper and it boots off of a "backup" oh-crap BIOS.
I've learned however not to flash my BIOS unless absolutely needed!!!
Hey guess what pal, when someone makes something for free, they are not necessarily going to stay motivated to keep fixing the problems you find in it, after the point that it works for them and all their friends.
So KDE and Gnome, which is supposed to make a nice replacement for windows to get the average user to move to Linux is just something for them and their friends.
And when someone finds a bug in something they are using to replace windows as urged by their local Linux advocate, they are supposed to accept the answer that "well...it does what I want it to, why don't you try y or z instead?"
That's not the way to win converts.
Of course, to be fair, they at least have somewhat of a recourse to fix things themselves, more than if they found a bug in a commercial product.
The biggest problem I've seen with open source programs is that when you do get end-users to test things out, be it a UI issue, or some other functional issue, is giving feedback.
Most of the times it seems that they don't want to look into issues or fix items. The advice is always "what does the debug output say?" or "submit a patch for it". Neither is something that the end user, who we are trying to convice that Linux is so much better than windows, is going to be able to do.
Pardon my ignorance... but just what sort of tasks are suited for clusters? Is the software specially written to work in a cluster environment?
I understand that it is to get a lot more performance by having tons of cheap computers rather than one large system. And I know how renderfarms work - each machine gets a frame to chew on.
Is clustered stuff just math written to be processed distributedly as well?
I could see this requirement if your primary line is a VoIP line. Perhaps you would have a MAC or two and IP that indicates you are at home. Ie. software sees this MAC and the VoIP switch sees your dsl/cable modem IP, then that is you at home. If you are using VoIP on the road, the IP would be different, so 911 wouldn't really work.
That way you get to provide the e911 service to people at home and others still get the benefit. If you are staying at a hotel and using the VoIP, then just pick up the room phone and dial.
If you are a place where you have no other phone, then think if you didn't have a laptop with you - you wouldn't have the connectivity anyway, and if you do have connectivity via VoIP, then hopefully you have time to give enough info to identify your location.
A checkbox under advanced search that says "Don't display me any sites that are trying to sell me something" and possibly another that says "Don't display any sites that are reviewing something".
Do that, and most of my searches will now give the results I want to see instead of 5000 domains all pointing at each other for pageranking.
It's been pretty embarassing to sit at your desk in the CIA and not be able to do a Google Search.
I agree. I just did a search on the google, and there is all sorts of information about Al Queida and the 9/11 attacks. Just think what could have been prevented. Hell...I even found Saddams hiding place by doing a search on google. There is a wealth of information out there on all sorts of recent issues that provides the answers these clowns have been clamoring for.;)

and you also forgot the bluescreen pants).

Yeah...I had some of those in the 80s and am trying very hard to forget them
I agree on the song...though I thought the triplets of Bellville had a better song.
Gollum's Song from TTT would have been a better song to win - very haunting.
Plumbing! It's the lastest invention! It allows water to flow from one place to another. Pipe the shit right out of your house! Plumbing!
This is slashdot. Imagining making love pretty much describes it all :)

but by then the damage (to the target) would have been done. Probably a lot easier to lose one of these than an A-10.
My flashlight has been able to store light in it for quite a while now. Just because they can do it on a chip now isn't a big deal.
