What?? Speed of light is 186,000 MILES per second, or 300,000,000 meters per second. But electrons propogate at about 2/3 the speed of light in copper, so you get 1.6e6 m / 2e8 m/s or 32ms (64ms round-trip).
It's so true though; we've all experienced these things, and it's frustrating. Shit just breaks, through a non-obvious user error, or a bad patch or incompatibility, or some exploit or virus, or just randomly for some inexplicable reason. And it takes hours to figure out the problem, let alone fix it, assuming it's fixable. There's a REASON there's such a stereotype against Microsoft software. A damn good reason.

Eat something when you wake up. A bowl of cereal, banana, some yogurt, etc. This is important because it will get your digestive tract (and hence, your metabolism) going right away. If you don't eat in the morning, it waits until after lunch to get started (hence that big shit you always have to take after lunch) and you've already lost four good hours of calorie burning time.
Have a light lunch. Deli sandwiches and pretzels are good for me. I have an apple for dessert. This will keep your stomach happy until it's time to go home. I've heard and observed that you can trick yourself into thinking you ate a lot by doing a lot of chewing. This seems to be one of the reasons why those diet shakes only help you feel satisfied for an hour or so. You may have all the vitamins, etc. that you need but your body doesn't feel like you've consumed enough.
When you get home from work DON'T EAT. EXERCISE. Run, bike, swim, whatever. Get a heart monitor or use the equipment to stay within your target heart rate. I think you burn more calories when you're hungry. Also, exercising at this time will "jump start" your slowing end-of-day metabolism and keep it up until you go to sleep.
I also do three reps each of sit-ups and push-ups because I'm trying to tighten up my beer gut and man boobs. So far so good!
And when you're done exercising, have a hearty meal so you have energy the next day.

Slashdot Mirror
Not to quibble, but the Pentium II is actually a glorified Pentium Pro with the MMX extensions tacked on.

Coulda been worse.
Coulda been Perl.
Gee, that's swell, but how many of them are open?
I live in the uptown neighborhood, and I can tell you from my experience: not many.
Or even easier, a cookie, or a referer check.
If you sniff the air, you can just make out the first hints of sensationalistic journalism.
At that point, you'd be buying the computer for reasons of shape and size, or because you want a headless G4, not a G5.
An equivalently-spec'd PowerMac G5 would run you about $2,150, so in many ways the Mac mini is still a good deal.
I'm sure a lot of users here are in my situation. That is, I'm not about to run this on my desktop, but I'd gladly drop it on a server or two.
Unfortunately, all my servers run Finland's finest. Thus the dilemma, regardless of user agent statistics.
This works too: Se^x = e^x + C
Sex = Ecstacy
Of course, you lose your dx, but who's counting? (pun intended)

Oh yes. Quite relevant.
Worst "Ask /."... EVER.
There's no reason you can't do hot-swappable software RAID. If there is, then someone forgot to tell me server.
Oh shit, it's gonna be pissed.
But I don't want to spend a lot of money...

So I'm going to assume I was just trolled...

Isn't there a big hole at the top?

Umm... have you tried portage?
(In reference to "make" comparing timestamps to determine which targets to compile.)
Did you touch before you made out?
Let's just call everything "gatorware."
No, but they very well might be the next Stephen Hawking.
Dad?! You read Slashdot??

Ah, I read it here.
