Let's say you have two variables a and b, such that a = b.
Thus ab = a^2, ab - b^2 = a^2 - b^2, Factoring the right side, ab - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b) Factoring the left side, (a - b)b = (a + b)(a - b) Divide both sides by (a - b), b = a + b
By this we see that b = 2b and thus 1 = 2 Subtracting 1 from each side, 0 = 1
Possibly one of the greatest webcomics since the inception of webcomics is Dinosaur Comics.
Strictly speaking, it's not a comic, because the art never changes. It's identical day in, day out, and that's completely intentional. Read a few, and you'll agree with me that it is quite a comic regardless of how it is not a stereotypical comic.
They might be automatically removed due to their dependencies on packages that no longer exist in sarge. I suggest you try it first. The dependency system in apt is very robust and things should happen with those packages if there are any problems.
Or, things may not have changed, and the backports can be used as is.
Nonetheless, if you would like to play it safe, do remove them.
Yes - It's already supported in i386, with the amd64 kernel images. You can run some 64-bit stuff with amd64-libs.
No - there is no *official* support yet for a 64-bit kernel with 64-bit userland. For an unofficial (and IMO fairly stable) port that will definitely be in etch, check http://www.debian.org/ports/amd64/ and http://amd64.debian.net/.
There was a huge debate about it, but leaving it out was for the greater good. Don't worry about it - it's definitely coming up if I can help it at all.
In response to the final sentence of the OP, if you're simply trying to identify music *files* on your hard drive, use MusicBrainz for that. The TRM audio fingerprinting system can identify any song in the database to within 4 or so matches (fingerprint collision does happen.)
I wonder if the aforementioned service works if you hum the melody into the phone.
Mine is too, but 99% of _that_ gets filtered. So I like email:)
And I should also note that email is the means of communication of choice among open-source developers (IRC comes in a close second.) People do need to keep old messages around in a somewhat organized fashion to make sense of things.
There are many linux distributions and gaming videos that are using torrents for fast distribution. A great example was the doom 3 video that came out shortly before the release. I was getting 180KB on my T1 on download.
So true. You might have seen that Debian 3.1 RC1 came out yesterday, and we have been offering full CD images -- via BitTorrent. I took the liberty of posting the torrents to Suprnova.org, of all places..:)
Just goes to show that most technologies are double-edged swords. I don't see how drastically different the advent of the audio cassette was as opposed to the advent of fast Internet-based downloads through P2P systems like BitTorrent. They both have the capacity to generate good music business as well as illegal copies of other things.
Like pulling a running SCA drive out of a raid aray. It feels...dirty.
I've done that before for work - the LSI MegaRAID 320 adapter isn't smart enough to send interrupts to the kernel driver, say, when a drive fails - so I had to write a bash script that polled its/proc data (which really was the kernel driver asking the card for data) to check for all sorts of failures and report them in syslog just like a normal driver would do.
So I pulled out a bunch of SCA drives many many times.. for testing.. it was kind of a thrill, but also a guilty pleasure:)
There's a shitload of people who think they 'know more about computers' but really don't know Windows Update from Quake 3.
Also, forcing people to use virus scanners and 'automatic Windows update' or whatever the hell that junk is, is a huge nuisance for people like me who only run Linux on my laptop.
At school this past year (a private high school) I was required to prove that I had installed a (Windows) virus scanner - on my Linux laptop! Okay, what the hell: apt-get install clamav. I purged it the second I was done with the test. But it was a huge line to go through, and a huge nuisance to do the test itself. Luckily, my clueful CS teacher was able to bail me out on most of the tests except the virus scanner one which was in the ballpark of the clueless IT overlord.
The point is: not the right solution. Even Mac users get pissed off at this sort of thing.
3. w3m - The best console web browser ever. Firstly, it has advanced capabilities for rendering tables. It doesn't do frames as well but those are really hard to do anyway.
4. pork - An ircII themed AIM client. Great for when you're on the road and only have PuTTY...
And, who can forget (although many may contend that this does not count...)
5. apt and dpkg! Dependency-resolving, self-upgrading, cow-mooing, ass-kicking package management system tag team! This is why I swear by Debian.
I'd distribute the document far and wide if only Cory would be a little bit more professional and less 1337 about it... I mean, he makes great points but he keeps talking about ciphers being g0n3z0rz and all that stuff. It won't clinch with the suits.

Maybe he was just trying to do some kitten huffing.
... how fun it was for the engineers to do testing on this contraption.
Agreed. I believe that 3rd party games will heavily cater to the so called hardcore crowd.
That said, I'd rather get my parents interested in playing games than have Really Cool Hardcore Games to play.
Have built a what?
It's a sleepless night, what else to do but refresh slashdot.
No, I knew the solution all along. It was for other people.
I don't get it.
Are you saying that this riddle is too obvious?
Let's say you have two variables a and b, such that a = b.
Thus ab = a^2,
ab - b^2 = a^2 - b^2,
Factoring the right side,
ab - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)
Factoring the left side,
(a - b)b = (a + b)(a - b)
Divide both sides by (a - b),
b = a + b
By this we see that
b = 2b
and thus
1 = 2
Subtracting 1 from each side,
0 = 1
How can this be?
This doesn't allow (easily) for the transmission of a unique ID, which is required for systems where you get graded based on your answer.

Yes.
You generally only need the first few for a successful install.. are you on a modem?

It might have been on a mirror that was still syncing with a master (which is odd). You should use BitTorrent instead.

Look also for memfrob(3) in that same file...

Remember that this is a console app. You can access each individual frame easily, but you can't see both at once.
;)
Or does elinks/links do that now? ISTR it was busy having problems with tables last i checked on it.
In no particular order.
1. irssi - really great, Perl-scriptable, user-friendly curses-based IRC client. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
2. vim - The best editor on Earth, hands down.
