There's a huge difference between not releasing all true information and actually telling a lie. I don't know what the blogger story is, but she has a right to privacy in the same way that anyone does. Lies are an entirely different matter of course. Likewise, anything that she (anonymously) made public has been made public already, and that's fair game too. (Do you know any more about the case? URL?)
This Fecund Life bitch? Whatever, someone needs to call her a Waaahbulance. This is pretty much a non-story.
It was to take place in the Fecund Life virtual world, that _was_ clearly on the agenda. Therefore anything that can happen within Fecund Life should have been expected as a possibilty.
I was expecting the 2 101-ers to jump on stage and start taking part in wild and rampant buggery to be honest, just to complete the whole farce.
Nothing about known fraus Cringley would ever be refreshing exccept for him to admit to his lies, quit punditry, and bugger off out of the public eye for ever.

4) More bad news for Sun. That's true. http://news.com.com/Sun+recoups+server+market+shar e/2100-1010_3-6108453.html looks like sun's best server market share improvement in about 5 years. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?t=1y&s=SUNW&l=on&z=m &q=l&c=&c=%5EIXIC looks like sun shareholders are happy about what's happening too.
So how can Cringley call that one true?
11) Intel will rebrand itself and nobody will notice. Intel did, we didn't -- true.
What rebranding? If they mean "they have new logos for, and new keywords to describe, new products", that's not rebranding. That's just bringing out new products, and making them distinguishablefrom their previous products. Such a 'rebranding' would be true for any company that brings out more than one product a year. If this is counted as true, it's utterly valueless.
"He was linking directly to the audio file, so that the user was never actually sent to the site."
This isn't insightful, this is codswallop.
Where do you think that audio file actually comes from - thin air? It was quite obviously deep linking, and it should *never* be considered illegal. Servers have the right to refuse any request. If they detect that the intended route to the file has not been followed, then they can 403 the request. If they are too stupid, and serve the request, that's their own stupid fault. No 'breaking in' has taken place, no offence at all has taken place.
If you're familiar with phonetics, it's basically/'tar-ja/ .
If you're not, then it's tar-ya. The two 'a's are the same, both short. Remember to roll the r on the front of the tongue, and put the emphasis on the 1st syllable
Navigating the command line is demonstrably not as simple as recalling a term from a prior command line. As I demonstrated.
And regarding the cat - did you not see the sys time _triple_? I somethimes do greps over huge files - I certainly don't want to waste vast amounts of time piping data between processes. You seem very hung up by the 0.005s figure - are you too thick to realise that that number will scale up as the input size increases? It seems so.
But what the heck - spend 3 times as long inside the OS in an I/O bound task if you want. Me, I'll do things the sensible way, and happily patronise the wastrels.
If I remember my European 20th century history lessons[*], then chocolate rations was actually a real example from Nazi Germany. Big lie, and all that.
This is not Godwinisable, as I've not mode a comparison!

As a noun or a verb, moot means debate. Many Eastpondians find the Westpondian use in an adjectival form to mean effectively the opposite to be quite risible.
The chamberlin (and after it the mellotron) was designed around this sample playback idea, and that predates the Kraut techno scene by many decades (it comes from the 40s). Of course, you had to actually invoke the playback in real-time, so it's still as much of a skilled musical instrument as any other keyboard instrument.
Urine is sterile though. Cut your hand on a rusty nail in a fence-post? You're better off washing the wound immediately with urine and then binding it than you are waiting 20 minutes before you get home and using some fancy schmancy medi-kit stuff.
However, I suspect the usage previously is intended to make one feel 'dirty'.
I don't believe I ever saw Kim post here. I'm utterly sure that Rieser did, as I seem to remember having a discussion with him about on-the-fly disk compression several years back. From that little discussion he seemed like an OK guy, but it was purely tech talk, bits and buffers. I was surprised to read of his Hyde side.

Supercells, and changing behaviour/tariff based on them are a perfectly ordinary part of the GSM standard. Ripping the customer off was designed in as a possibilty from the start. When they say "HomeZone(TM) - cheaper within your registered home location" they actually mean "roaming ripoff not just limited to foreign countries any more".

No. I;ve seen their previous branding, and their current branding, and I don't consider it to be a rebranding.
His prediction wasn't "intel will pretend to have a rebranding, but it'll be such an insignificant change that noone considers it a rebranding".

It's not premature optimisation at all - it's chosing the right algorithm. Which is what Knuth recommends.
I'm glad to see you base your "very likely" on complete guesswork.
I particularly like the way that you think that unnecessary transfers between non-shared caches would be _quicker_ than no unnecessary transfers.
Consider this, OS-call wise:
with cat: read + write + read
without: read
Your CV would be in the bin by now if I were hiring.

Moot adj., arguable: open to argument or debate
As a noun or a verb, moot means debate. Many Eastpondians find the Westpondian use in an adjectival form to mean effectively the opposite to be quite risible.

``grep and !$''
is more efficient in every way than
``\up-arrow | grep and''

``!! | grep and''
Unnecessary pipes and cats do not make things simpler. That's about the only thing in the article that is correct.
