I'm all for the natural language approach. I'm holding off til I can say something like "give me a histogram of all occurences of this regex across all files in subdirectory X....". Til that time it's a pipeline of grep/sort/uniq.
I'm waiting for a carousel player. Having a 5-disc carousel DVD player is great: new Netflix dvd shows up, throw it in the player and it's queued up ready to go.
I think that the term "near miss" is accurate. The noun used is "miss", which is correct as the planes did miss each other. The adjective "near" indicates that they did not miss each other by a great distance. Using the noun "hit" would be an inaccurate description of the incident, as a hit did not occur. To call the incident a "near miss" is not saying "the planes nearly missed" which is using an adverb and verb rather than adjective and noun.
This brings to mind "near anal retentive miss", though I think "near anal retentive hit" is more accurate.
I don't think anyone is trying to curtail free speech. The issue is that an insider of the company is manipulating or misrepresenting the stock to his advantage. If the CEO of a company makes a statement regarding the stock, that statement is taken heavily. Expect class-action lawsuit when a CEO misrepresents a stock to investors.
The team cut out a square centimetre of skin from the backs of mice two weeks after their hair follicles had formed. After 14 to 19 days the wounds had closed and formed new.
cool, it works for back hair! I'll never have a bald back again!
Likewise, Peter's Chocolate is an excellent chocolate. It too is owned by a conglomerate. But the chocolate is still excellent, especially if you taste what can be produced using such chocolate. I worked at Boehm's for about 3 years, I've never since tasted such exquisite chocolate.
not trying to be daft, but do you get much out of such a vanilla install? You have no changes in/etc to copy over? No third party software in/usr/local/ to install? No software in ~/src (or whatever) to recompile?
I tend to have a system around for quite a few years before upgrading. When I last upgraded in late '06 it was more painful than it should of been. I was upgrading from a RH 7.X box that had become very customized over the years (since 7.X was way old). Moving my local cvs repository, various CGI script (and updating them for apache2), getting the GUI back to something usable... it was a very slow process. Sure, any one of those steps might only take a seconds to minutes, but the sum of all such steps was rather large.
It also didn't help that I jumped from RedHat to Debian and moved up to amd 64bit at the same time.
anything that uses less fertilizer than corn is good. How much oil is needed by Monsanto and DuPont to produce their fertilizers and corn seeds? It's absurd.
The oil we think we're taking away by switching to biodiesel will end up being used to produce fertilizers, genetically modified seeds, and similar farming requirements. The end consumer won't notice the swap but will ultimately feel good thinking they're not harming the environment as they're stuck in rush hour traffic sipping on a 32 oz Starbucks beverage in their SUV.
As a mid-level racer and uber-geek, I've got a power meter hooked up on both my race bike & tt bike. With training, it's not difficult to hold a bit over 200 watts for many hours -- outside. Doing this level of work inside is rather monotonous and mentally draining. Efforts above 300 watts really limit the amount of time doing "work" (work in the mechanical sense). Breaking a kilowatt is challenge, and can only be sustained for a couple seconds. And that's in a reasonably trained individual.
But really: how about instead of powering the gym lights these people biked to the gym instead? Using less fossil fuels is where you'd really see the savings in energy.
"I've seen people at 0.04 seconds. That is less than half a second," he said.
Even better than that, how far apart would these two cars be??? Assuming this is on the highway at 60 mph, 0.04 seconds is 3.52 ft. In police math, that's less than 50 feet from each other.
somehow I don't think this scooter will work for the average Slashdotter. Especially once loaded down with a laptop carrying backpack and bag of cheetos.
2) Only half the damage done by a Scud is due to the warhead. The rest is due to kinetic energy, and this is not changed by a successful intercept. Thus a Patriot missile success only cuts the damage in half and alters where it comes down.
Cool. If the Patriot missile system makes a saving throw versus Scud, damage is only half of 8d100.

Thanks for fixing, because I usually just cut & paste any sudo command.

According to the scale in this photo, these galaxies are only half the size of Stonehenge.
This brings to mind "near anal retentive miss", though I think "near anal retentive hit" is more accurate.
Spot the 18" Stonehenge and you find the plane.
You've never heard of the Voyager? Voyager is the ship that made the Kessel run in less than 500 microparsecs!

mod parent up. Go read _The Omnivore's Dilemna_ while you're at it.
This should answer the age old question, if a mirror at absolute zero breaks, do you have bad luck?

I guess that depends on your interpretation of "middle of nowhere"...
nice! someone mod that up.

maybe we could get all the Canadians to switch to linux? That'd bring up the user base by at least 4 or 5 users.
You're going to have to answer to the Coca Cola company for that reference.
With a name like "Beardo the Bearded", it may not be a choice.

Gotta run. I saw a Trans Am drive by, it might be Knight Rider.

that's nothing, most slashdot readers are part blimp.
