What's the big diff (pun intended) between Reiser and XFS? Which is better? (I realize that this may start a holywar, but I want the brief synopsis and analysis since I'm not a sysadmin.) Thanks
My linux box can't connect to my school's mail server, but my Windows Box that is being masq'd by my linux box can. Is this the same problem?
Uninformed.
atari 2600 != Dreamcast
Even if Dreamcast is 6 times as expensive with 2 games. I'd rather have a dreamcast with 2 good games than all of the atari 2600 games in the world.
Advertising sells games. Pissed off people who buy shitty games, buy open consoles.
If it weren't for unions, and more succinctly, people looking out for their own best interests, workers would be working 16 hour shifts and would be getting paid $5.35 an hour. Yes the workers like giving the company the shaft, but guess what, they're getting it too. It can be very difficult to see the good things that unions do, when only the bad get publicized and talked about.
If slashdot had the option to view at +2 Sans Cynicism there would be nothing to see! What's the problem? This guy is asking for advice on how to make his OPEN SOURCE software firm more profitable, and everyone is saying he's a troll. If I had any real advice (which unfortunately I don't) I'd be screaming it at him.
Maybe it is a slow news day. I'm just glad to see Slashdot using it's popularity for the powers of good. (Instead of posting that story submission by Bill Gates entitled "How can I make Linux people like me?")
Salesforce is Mega Super Ultra Magna important. I hate to generalize a category of people, but programmers are not the people you want taking your potential contacts (likely non-programmers) out for business dinners/lunches. The last thing you need is for a potential client or partner to suffer through three hours of monty python drivel in a chinese restaraunt.
On the other hand. WOMEN make wonderful salespeople. Especially attractive ones. (Yes this is sexist, but since when did money have a conscience?) As repugnant as this sounds, an attractive woman could probably generate more business for you than you could handle.
Of course you could always spam, but I just heard that Moses came back with an eleventh commandment, so I'd wait on that one.
Great like obfuscated uncommented code wasn't already a problem!! I can't wait: 1 letter variable/function names. Prolific use of recursion. And if spaces/newlines count as characters, well... Kiss any leftover readability goodbye...;)
i = 0;
Language[0] = FORTRAN;
Language[1] = COBOL;
Language[2] = PASCAL;
Language[3] = APL; ...
Language[328] = C++;
while(Language[i]) {
printf("%s is, by now, equally entrenched. I really can't see it being replaced by something else.",Laungauge[i]);
i++;
}
"And is going with something new, untried like this better than going with mature, widely understood technology?"
With that attitude I'm suprised you're not banging out your message in morse code with rocks!! Every "mature" and "widely understood" technology that is in use today was at one time "untried."
Commander Taco was greatly dissapointed when it was discovered that the 95% of the lifeforms found on the new planet were carriers of the Trollus FirstPostus gene. He has since removed Seti at Home from his computer.
This would make a great Mountain Dew commercial. Instead of extreme mountain biking, or skateboarding (with a spaceship). Extreme Coding! It's the only think Mountain Dew is good for anyway...
I can see it now:
Keannu: Better refactor that code man, There's at least two lines you could take out of that "if" statement! [slams dew]
Yes but by the same token, Instead of driving a semi that got 8 gallons to the mile, you'd be driving a car that got 800 miles to the gallon AND could pull six trailers. It just needs a little paint.:)
Hopefully the technology is young enough that a standardization can be implemented without too much pain being felt at the idea of burning down an existing codebase. I hope they don't try to make everything backwards compatible at the expense of a hobbled proto...
I was once told by a math teacher that a complex enough (mandlebrot?) fractal can represent all of the stars in the universe. Had I paid more attention in that class I would be able to expand on this claim, but I leave that up to wiser heads. I know that they can be used to simulate (or represent) coastlines. How hard is it to go from a fractal graph to a formula?
Slashdot Mirror
I remember that quote a bit differently...
If you can't duct it... fsck it...
Where is this Utopia?! Are they hiring?! :)

It's only a problem because your rating is below 7. :^)

There can't be dvd on board. The regional encoding doesn't extend to "space." :)
This is a HUGE problem when you consider the number of people that have orbital network sniffers! Their e-mail is there for the taking!!

Do they have a standard BlueTooth spec there? It seems some folks are just estimating. ;)

That's a great trick!!!
what is the "&item=q209355@195.224.253.26/Q209355.asp" ?
Or in other words, "how does this work?"
Is that people are actually using their hard earned mod points to mod up/mod down posts in reply to these articles. That's a great April fool's joke!
What does Women's Golf have to do with Nerd News?
Hah Switches?! Bare wire and a nine volt!

Couldn't any human being claim prior art if this were to be patented?

Yes that is a blank stare.
