Most folks would freak out if FedEx or UPS opened their packages for any reason. Personally I'm amazed at the stupidity of some of these "thats why FedEx/UPS/etc suck" stories. Bunch of dumb assed grad students looking to blame others for their own incompetence.
...or looking to blame stupid postdocs and senior researchers in the United States who won't use anything other than FedEx because that's who they have an account with. FedEx might be fine for shipping labile materials within the United States, and that's probably all a lot of U.S. based researchers have done in their entire careers. However, for reasons mentioned earlier, FedEx suck for shipping labile samples internationally, especially longer routes like east coast U.S. to Australia. But if your U.S. shipper won't send by any other means because "we've never had a problem with FedEx", what choice to you have?
Personally, I'm amazed at the stupidity of some of these "blame it on the dumb assed grad students looking to blame others for their own incompetence" stories. But then again this is Slashdot, and being a fucking pig-ignorant retard with no experience of life outside of their own parent's basement is the preferred mode of operation here. Fuck off and die.
There are courier companies which specialise in life sciences delivery. World Courier is one which we've always had good dealings with. They'll do things like open the package and top up dry ice if things are delayed in transit and stuff like that. Of course you pay extra for it, but the small extra cost of paying a specialist is nothing compared to the years of salary, consumables and equipment costs which may have gone into preparing a sample in the first place.
What were they supposed to do? Bring it back to their special freezer for people who don't stick around to make sure $20K packages are properly handled?
Precisely. This is what separates crappy second-rate carriers like UPS and FedEx from true professionals, like World Courier. If a package says on the outside that it needs to be kept at -20C, then I expect a halfway decent courier to keep that package at the stated temperature, regardless of whether someone was present at the lab at 8pm on Friday night (because the courier was running behind schedule) to receive the package or not. If the courier doesn't give a crap about the integrity of the shipment, then why bother picking it up in the first place? Why not just dump the package in the nearest waste bin as soon as possible after pickup is made?
Despite what Fedex and UPS would have you believe via their large advertising budgets, both of these companies are viewed as talentless barbarians in the life sciences world. Neither seem to be able to ship time or temperature critical samples quickly or effectively, and neither seem to want to take any type of responsibility for them either. I have just today taken delivery of a Fedex shipped package of E.coli (carrying yeast expression plasmids), which had been stalled in Australian customs for over a week, due to Fedex misplacing the required regulatory paperwork. Thankfully E.coli are built like Abrams tanks, and a week at room temperature shouldn't be too harmful. This, unfortunately, was not the case last year when we lost ***2 years*** worth of time course mouse brain samples, which were being shipped from San Francisco. For some completely unknowable reason, the samples were held in Hawaii for 3 days. During this time, even the copious amount of dry ice which was packed with the samples evaporated, and by the time the package arrived in Sydney and cleared quarantine, there was nothing but a proteolytically degraded soup left for us to analyse.
Frankly, I'd rather eat a bucket of my own crap than entrust the likes of UPS or Fedex with important biological samples. They simply don't know what they are doing. They're unprofessional. Their call centre staff are idiots. Avoid at all costs.
Apple does NOT support running any laptop with the screen closed, because they can very easily (and do) overheat when the screen is close.
Running a PowerBook with the lid closed is officially supported by Apple, and is mentioned in the instruction manual which is included with the machine. As long as the machine detects an external display and a USB keyboard plugged in, it will run perfectly in lid-closed mode.
I know this is different to closing the lid and then stuffing it into a backpack to use as an overgrown iPod, but the point is that lid-closed operation is not a 'banned' operation because of heat issues. It is very much supported for certain applications.
Does anyone here remember from the early days of Fidonet on dial-up BBSs, and more recently Usenet, a particularly offensive person named Rod Speed? This guy used to (and still does) post at an incredibly prolific rate, with some of the most anti-social, deliberately offensive tripe I've ever read. The posts were always so similar that it was suggested for a long time that Rod Speed was actually a bot. In fact, some people created a Rod Speed chatbot, and I swear you can't tell the difference between its responses and those of the 'real' Rod Speed.
This guy even has his own FAQ..just go to Deja and search for "Rod Speed". He really blurs the line between chatbot and human. Rod....Rod...are you on Slashdot?!?!?
What I'd like to see in a huge multi-CPU benchmark like this are some Apple G5 systems thrown in too. Decent cross-platform tests are hard to find, but given OS X's UNIX underpinnings, it may be possible to come up with a set of tests that are run on x86 Linux and OS X which have an identical code base, and which do not artificiallly advantage one architecture over the other. One thing I've found since switching to OS X about 6 months ago...the Mac community still lacks a really good site which does solid, rigorous benchmarks of Mac hardware/software...and there are a lot of myths and misinformation doing the rounds on various Mac forums (as there are on PC forums too). A well controlled multi-CPU benchmark including some Macs could go a long way to alleviating this.
Wow, it's been quite a while since a Transmeta/Crusoe/Efficieon article was posted. Since nobody else seems to be up to it, it looks like I'll have to ask the standard question. Here goes:
I understand that the Transmeta family of CPUs use 'code morphing' to translate x86 code into an internal execution format. But wouldn't it be better to write code which targets the true 'native' instruction set of the Crusoe/Efficieon? I mean, wouldn't this help solve the fucking awful performance problems of the chip?
OK, now that's out of the way, I would also like to ask one more question. Here goes:
Will Transmeta sell more Efficieons in the chip's whole life span than Intel will sell Pentium Ms in one day?
FIrst Intel adopts the x86-64 ISA in their new chips, and now they start using performance ratings. What next? Jerry Sanders to replace Craig Barrett as CEO? How times have changed.
Try that in Paris. Parisians are incredibly rude to foreigners speaking in French, to the extent of deliberately refusing to understand them. It isn't much of an incentive to use the language.
I have. And it worked beautifully. I'm an English-speaking Australian, with only a minimal grasp of the basics of conversational French. But as long as you started a conversation in French and tried to get your basic meaning across in French, I found everybody I spoke to in Paris was willing to try and meet me halfway in understanding what it was that I wanted to say. Maybe I was just lucky. That was in 2000. I don't know if things have drastically changed in the last 3 years though.
And it'd probably be double that if you incorporated some kind of search facility too. Type in help disk space and get a hit on the df command, for instance.
How about a little animated 'bash$' command prompt which jumps up when you hit F1, or which politely asks "It looks like you're composing a shell script. Would you like some help!" when you're in a bit of a pickle. You could type in a plain-English question about what you wanted to do, rather than having to remember the cryptic names of Unix commands. When you selected your specific query from a list of options that the animated character presented to you, it would then go on to show you exactly how to enter the command you were interested in. It would be great! You could even theme this 'assistant' according to your shell...it could appear as an animated 'ksh' or even just a '%' sign for those wanting to get on with the job.
Instead of wacky proprietary CD label burning systems which require expensive media, I have a suggestion. Just burn a JPEG onto the data track of your CD-R which depicts the label you would like. How the fuck do you all like that, huh? No Linux drivers required.
It's all very well and good to compare Linux to the Mac and Windows for 'common' tasks such as editing a Microsoft Word document, connecting a digital camera, or installing a printer. But what about a task that many (if not all) Slashdot readers use their computers for on a daily basis: downloading, archiving, sorting, viewing, and ejaculating to gigabytes and gigabytes of internet pornography.
Let's face it...if a desktop operating system doesn't come with a great thumbnailing preview app, excellent support for streaming media formats, and the ability to survive having the keyboard and mouse suddenly being disconnected to have semen cleaned out, then it really isn't up to scratch. In future, I'd propose to reviewers evaluating desktop Linux systems a few extra categories:
Disabled accessibility: Many operating systems have features designed to make them easier to use for the blind, deaf, or just plain stupid. But can the interface be easily manipulated using one hand only? Can the video player be precisely controlled with only a few fingers, while the other hand is wrapped around the user's own few inches?
Web brower pop-up enabling and tracking: While most users claim to clamour for browsers which block annoying pop-up ads, in reality they crave what these pop-ups are offering: free porn. Does the desktop OS under review offer a browser platform which makes following these pop-up nuggets of jizz-candy easy to follow and track? Can the browser in fact follow its own trail of pop-ups, closing those containing circular links, and launching the download manager when a rare find of actual porn is found?
I'm sure the Slashdot community will have plenty of other ideas to contribute. I look forward to hearing the community's response!
nce you're losing, and you're down to your base and only one or two power nodes, it's damn near impossible to fight your way back
I have seen many comebacks from precisely that situation. It isn't easy, but it is possible with a good team. I think it's the best part of the game...the enemy trying to hit your power core, half your team mates madly scrambling around to take out the base invaders, and the other half rushing out to destroy the linked enemy power node. Some of those desperate last-ditch battles are absolutely fantastic to watch.
Yeah you're right, but it's Friday afternoon here and I'm already 4 beers into proceedings. Windows isn't a whole lot better for that matter...WinBlah, WinBlee. I'm trying to think of software names I really liked...Borland's Sidekick was a good name. Ahh fuck it I can't really think of anything else right now. I've recently transitioned from Linux to OS X, and as long as an app name doesn't start with 'i' I'm happy these days.
Geoworks was certainly an early pioneer in one area: unimaginative name conventions for its apps. Looking at the screenshots page, every damn app is geoThis, or geoThat. It's a wonderful trend that the KDesigners of the KDE KDestop KEnvironment have picked up one, as well as their GCompetitors Gover Gat Gthe GNOME GProject. And don't get me JStarted Jon Java JApplications.
Does anyone know if there are benchmarking scripts included anywhere in the UT2004 demo? I'd like to collect some solid benchmarks that don't involve me mentally averaging out the on-screen FPS counter while I'm playing capture the flag...
nd, BTW, I read the constitution (and the bill of rights) at least once a week, because my job requires that I uphold them both.
Sou you're the guy dressed up as Ben Franklin down at the museum holding those framed reproductions of the constitution then? Sucky job you have there dude.
Ok, today we're looking at the Sony DVDA-69, a mid range digital video camera from one of the world's leading electronics manufacturers. As always, we subjected the DVDA-69 to our usual array of real-world tests...not the fake kind you see in "Camcorder Enthusiast Magazine" where they test colour reproduction on scences of bounching beachballs, or testing the zoom lens on closeup shots of the Sydney Opera House, but real life stuff. Let's begin.
Tripod stability: This is important. The DVDA-69 has a shock-stabilised tripod mount, which allowed it to score a perfect 5 out of 5 for the "4-way fat bitch fuck fest test". As regular readers know, this is where we get over 500kg of pounding lesbian flesh to get jiggy in a tub of jelly and film the whole damn thing. Lesser cameras produce an unwatchable shaking mess due to the harsh vibrations. The DVDA-69 felt barely a tremor during this tough test due to the inertial stabilisation and digial shake correction. Fantastic.
Flesh and genital colour tone reproducibility: The DVDA-69 was presented with our standard test panel of 3 vaginas (one hairy, one pierced, one shaved) and 3 penises (one regular, one large, one 'rock splitter'), and tested for accurate flesh tone reproducibility. The CCD sensor did a reasonable job, reporting back 89% faithful colour repro even on an 8x macro pussy zoom shot, but for those seeking ultimate chromatic reproduction, try the new Panasonic CockViewer 7000 (see our previous review). 3 stars out of 5 on this test.
Sound capture authenticity: Again, we used our standard voice test panel of "Oh yeah do you like that bitch?", "I'm gonna cum all over your titties!" and "Give it to me give it to me give it to me SQUEEAAALLL", captured through the standard camera microphone. The DVDA-69 did a good job of capturing mid to high end frequencies (it scored a perfect 100% in the 'anal jab scream' test, but there was some distortion in the optional 'blacks on blondes' sub test where our Barry White sound-alike test subject was able to induce a bit of fuzziness with an orgasmic "Oooooohhh yeeeaaaahhh". 4 out of 5 stars.
Environmental robustness:. The toughest test of all. Basically everyone just jizzes all over the camera lens and we see if it still works. Things were going well until some spooge leaked into the tape compartment, requiring tedious manual cleaning. Not a real competitor here, and certainly bested by the Canon PowerGyno A700 Intruder Edition, which was not disturbed by even the most savage gang banging facial action. Sony is really going to need to work on this if it is going to be seen as a serious player in the home market. 2 out of 5.
Summary: A reasonable entry by Sony into the crowded home camcorder market. Good performance for standard types of fuck-filming, and you can expect your pounding, flabby buttocks to be faithfully presented on the screen during playback. The camera has several ease-of-use features, such as a 'Thumb-off' record button, allowing the user to simply hang the camera around their neck when filming 1st-person blow job scenes, allowing both hands to be used to guide the girl's head onto the end of your cock. But the lack of moisture resistance means that hardcore users will need to look elsewhere for top-quality gyno movies. 3 out 5 stars overall.
You're probably right. The sugar tariffs are thickly contaminated with politics here as well. Much of Australia's sugar cane is grown in Queensland, and that state just had an election on the weekend. The state Labor party was returned to power again, but there was a tough contest fought over several marginal seats in the sugar-cane growing regions. Many political commentators are highly cynical that our federal Liberal government waited until today to make the results of the free trade negotiations public, rather than do it last week, when the news would have caused the Queensland state Liberal party to be wiped off the face of the planet in those marginal sugar-growing electorates.
A conspiracy theory perhaps, but then again our federal government is not above grossly distorting even the most important issues (refugee children thrown overboard anyone?) to score a few cheap political points. Since no actual lives were at risk here, I doubt the federal Liberals would have hesitated for more than a microsecond before cynically extracting political advantage from the timing of the free trade story.
Absolutely fucking hilarious. The Australian posters on this board are all outraged that they're going to be forced to adopt U.S. style copyright laws, and that our government is nothing but a spineless U.S. puppet...and your insinuation is that by adopting more U.S. attitudes and laws, that will somehow make it all better? Maybe we needed to negotiate a free trade agreement on whatever it is that you're smoking right now.

This is not true on OS X. The default filesystem is case independent.
