I am not sure, but I think the kernel power regression bug was patched months ago: http://linux.slashdot.org/story/11/11/11/2036245/linux-kernel-power-bug-is-fixed.. Perhaps the fix hasn't hit your distro yet. Or is this something new?:( It used to be (around Ubuntu 9.10/10.04) that Ubuntu got more life than Windows. I'm hoping to see those days come again.
Time to overhaul the academics. Nearly every engineering course here (I'm in India) has a couple of programming courses. A lot of students do coding some time or the other. Yet not even a sentence is uttered about threads or parallelism, even though practically every computer they code in has multiple cores. They should probably introduce a course on parallel processing as an elective for freshmen.
But then, plenty of things were introduced in Boost and other such libraries before getting on the standard. At least, that's the impression I got from the wiki article on TR1 and the features introduced in the last standard.
Really? £10,000? Is television so critical that people will die without it? At today's exchange rates, that USD $15,760. Wow.
Well, these people had something, and then will lose it due to no fault of thiers. Assuming you're in the US, how much do you think a class-action lawsuit would have netted against the companies that are bringing out 4G? Upto 10,000 (maybe the average would be a lot less) may seem a bit too much, but they're getting this without going for a lawsuit. A normal, not class-action, lawsuit could have netted more.
Thanks for the info. I've been using daily builds of FF and Chromium as my regular browsers, and the former recently started having trouble with Flash (nothing loads) and the latter with Flashblock (nothing blocked!). Now if I open a Youtube vid in FF, I'll open smplayer too..
Wasn't this the main philosophy behind the Windows desktop. Just load the desktop quickly, give an appearance of accepting user input,but nothing works for minutes after that? How do you think that worked? Of course people might think the program is Not Responding (TM) and try to end it/start new instance.

If you have enough to scrape by for your entire adult life, then you have wealth.
Money that comes in and goes out is not wealth.
Read GP again. He meant to say, if you have enough money now to scrape by for the rest of your life (by cashing in, as you said) without earning anything more, you have wealth.
Make a media room at the police station, put one of the police's receivers there, and let the media guys send drones to listen. The drones can call their companies when something of interest happens. The police get their encrypted radio, the media get their live feed, and people who shouldn't be listening might not be able listen (how good is the encryption?).
IANAL, I think it means having either a) a subsidiary registered in the country as a commercial entity or b) physical assets in the country (I think this needs (a)), or both.
Nobody (in the users' world, that is) cares if the technology is CDMA or GSM or WCDMA or UMTS or OFDMA or whatever. Just so long as we can change numbers/providers by simply swapping a card. That problem, I think, is due to the assholes over at Verizon, etc. This was the reason I decided to go for a GSM operator when I bought my first phone, some six years back. My Dad had a CDMA phone, and when his company offered him a mobile subscription, he couldn't use his old phone and had to buy a new phone. The situation has changed now, but poor decisions then did some harm to CDMA's reputation.

And you do realize that much of Europe was thoroughly trashed in WWII, don't you?

Let me rephrase GP for you..
... the kernel guys actually put in features people who care about such things want and need, while not pissing the hell out of others...
which is where the hookers come in, I suppose. Mmmm.. chicken.
I believe that the truth about http://science.slashdot.org/story/12/02/25/0410256/a-small-glimmer-of-hope-for-faster-than-light-neutrinos is now known.

I believe, sir, that leaves us only one choice if we have to stay legal and not buy said dongle. Hobson's choice ring any bells?

So we must buy a whole new computer to get a new OS? Can't just create a partition and install to it?
Intel, guys.. talk about Intel.

Weird. It's working fine now.
Maybe the GP wanted laptops. Not much choice there.
Am I the only one who's getting an error at PC Pro? Is it paywalled or something?
I believe he was an MS shill, not an Apple one..
Something called ClamAV?

Mufti is a title. Like cardinal, bishop, etc, though nowhere near as high. The guy's name is Ajiaz Arshad Qasmi, probably.

He could be checking email and rss...
