He's got both heads, and Zaphod is being played by Sam Rockwell, the most excellent actor to ever grace the silver screen.
Ok, but he's really good. He played Guy, the random ensign in Galaxy Quest. He was the villain in Charlie's Angels, the second fiddle con man in Matchstick Men, and the main character in Safe Men, 1998's greatest movie.
especially considering how difficult it ALREADY is to describe the GPL to people.
After I arrived at my current place of employment, I discovered that none of my IT coworkers understood the GPL. Clearing up every confusion took about five minutes.
"wait, just by putting this software on our ftp server, we're licensing patents?"
Or they can just use the GPL 2. IMHO, if the alternative is a GPL 2 project with submarined patents, then they can keep the fucking software. How complicated is that?
They use expensive proprietary hardware and their own proprietary RAID smashup that lets them survive single disk failures and use heterogenous disks. This requires extra storage for parity information. They also use expensive proprietary rippers and expensive proprietary viewers. The whole system costs $40-$60 per movie.
How long till the Slashbots come out in droves proclaiming M$ sucks and their spyware removal sucks and they should all go to hell because a trojan(more like a crappy little batch file) is able to disable their program.
Well, it's been 40 minutes so far, and still no sign. How about you shut the fuck up?
Really. It doesn't. I've been using Mac OS since I was 4, and now there's finally another OS that I mildly enjoy using. Windows XP Professional SP2 is an excellent operating system. It has huge, glaring flaws, but so does Mac OS. (And so does Lunix.)
If there isn't enough money involved to justify a credit card merchant account for the OSS group, then send them money however you'd normally send money to an individual in a foreign nation.
Yeah, that's hard.
But what the hell does it have to do with Open Source? Or geekery in general?
G3 iBooks have their clockspeed set by software. You have to hex edit system software, but you can make them run at whatever speed you want pretty easily.
Yeah. I know that's the case now. It's not like the w3c was around when Tim Berners-Lee invented the internets. What did he say URL stood for? Not because that would be more correct than what the w3c says, just because I'm curious, and it would explain my confusion.
So, although the "answer" to the CAPTCHA is provided an actual human, you can still pinpoint mass registrations and the like to a single group of IP addresses in most cases, because the users are not the ones interacting with your application. This becomes a network problem rather than an application problem.
Excellent point, but if they're already setting up a porn site and marshalling captchas back and forth, piping the results through zombies shouldn't be a very big leap.
You'd have to rent a truck. You'd have to buy an off-size amount of popcorn. You'd need to build something to contain it around his house.
Another idea that is more labor intensive but less expensive might be better. Replace everything in his apartment with a paper replica? Dunno. Maybe you need to get back at him in an entirely different vein.
Only with an Open Source zealot can he look a gift horse in the mouth, and after inspecting each and every gold cap, yell at the giver for not putting in platinum with extra dental service for life like he wanted.
I'd love it is/. were a decent Mac rumors site. But it's not. In this case, it's "News for Nerds. Typos that matter."
This is the lamest rumor I've ever seen on the web. And I used to read macosrumors.com daily. (I'm not hyperlinking them because their website isn't worth your ten second speed read. macrumors.com is a little better.)
Someone still needs to make a t-shirt with Eurion

1) Obviously these are hard problems, and these smart people have worked very hard on all the issues.
2) They are abandoning persistence for Coyotos.
And no, the concept of an RTOS does not go out the window due to persistence. No, they do not have to halt everything to do a checkpoint. If the performance hit of checkpointing would not allow them to keep their contract with a real time thread, then... they would not make the contract with that real time thread, and their RTOS is still an RTOS, isn't it.
We really need to teach murderers better "people skills."
Wait, who said "murderers"? You did. You are the one that lumped together drug addicts with murderers. You are the problem. You are what is wrong with the war on drugs, and America's criminal justice system.

I'm kindof a fan.

Finally, a resolution to all those wedding ring & diamond related discussions on slashdot.

Not worth baking my only computer.

Didn't it used to stand for "Universal"? I thought it was like DVD: First Digital Video Disc, then Digital Versatile Disc, and finally just DVD.
make the notice part of the difficult-to-interpret image.
What kind of problem is it then?

"Beware geeks bearing grifts."
You have the worst pig latin abilities I have ever seen.
1) Not a straight rip off. There are gameplay improvements that make Snood distinctly more compelling. Different at least.
2) Are you sure Puzzle Bobble wasn't a rip off of another game? There are a million snood-likes.
You own a TV?
I bet you have a car, too.
Damn red staters.
Works great in high security mode. Throw it in your Restricted Sites group.
Sources please?
All news sites are forbidden? I suspect you are full of shit.

Someone needs to make tshirts and ties that have the EURion constellation on them. Even though apparently they aren't that big a deal anymore. Still fascinating.
Inside the ISO there's links to the source of the data, in case you want the rest of the 4.2 billion digits available.
Does their source stop working after 4.2 billion digits, or did I misunderstand something about pi?
He's talking about search result spam, not ads on search engines (which you can ignore).
