Agent: Now, before I give you the check, one more question. This place ``Moe's'' you left just before the accident. This is a business of some kind?
Homer: [thinks] Don't tell him you were at a bar! Gasp! But what else is open at night? [aloud] It's a pornography store. I was buying pornography. [thinks] Heh heh heh. I would'a never thought of that.
Seems to me that if this plane always faces into the wind, and provided they leave the wings on, when the wind gets reasonably high it could just be ripped off the ground.
What's to stop this happening? Or is this considered to be an added bonus by the clientele?
Well of course they're going to use linux. Can you imagine the price of all those new Windows XP licences they would have to buy to replace all those damaged computers?
Please remember for someone to bring a dictaphone to the lecture, or at least have it recorded by something/someone, so that their answers can be heard first hand by everyone.
Also, If you are planning on asking multiple questions, write them down and hand them out to some of your friends for them to ask. They might only let one person ask one question. Plus it might be a tad suspicious if one person keeps standing up to ask 10 carefully crafted questions. And you're less likely to look like a lone screwball if half the audience are asking challenging questions.
I don't think it can really be 3.2 completely. With Gentoo (1.4rc1), I've compiled entire systems with gcc 3.2 and never had a single problem. I reckon it's probably a Mandrake thing, mdk 9.0 is already known as having some rather crazy problems, isn't it?
That might not be the best of ideas. The heat displaced by the fridge would cause the seat itself to warm up most likely, and the worst possible quality in a chair you have to sit in for long periods is when it gives you a sweaty arse.
This is probably one of the most controlling factors in my life. Tip: when checking out universities, the highest priority is to check what the seats in the lecture theatres are made out of. If it's that horrible vinyl plastic stuff, do NOT apply. Personally, I couldn't stand 3-4 years sitting on one of those horrible things.
NeXTStep created the OpenStep standard for a reason.
Cocoa is NOT based on NeXTStep, it is based on OpenStep. It is an implementation of OpenStep.
GNUstep is also an implementation of OpenStep.
The WHOLE POINT of OpenStep was to allow different implementations on different platforms which are more or less interoperable.
Apple are not making this too easy for GNUstep developers, mainly I find because of bloody Project Builder.
(This is all personal opinion here...)It is not standards compliant. It uses jam as its builder, which really messes things up if you're trying to make source compatible programs.
We (the opensource community) have been "Beta testing" a lot of the software they've jumped on the Bandwagon of for years, before they even knew what it was.
Mostly, though, if someone can afford a Mac, it's far more likely that they can afford to take us to lunch.
For one, these aren't aimed at the 'Redneck' as you put it. They are only available online, so to have made the purchase, you would have to know a thing or two about computers. (well, debatable, but at least know how to basically operate one)
They are also not marked ambiguously as 'Cheap Computers'. They are under a clearly labelled 'Computers with Mandrake Linux' section. Right next to a 'Computers with Windows' section. IIRC from the site, you don't even discover that these machines are cheaper until you go into the mandrake section. So they are probably not going to be easily confused.
Now, if these were offered in store like the editor suggests (with big 'CHEAP' labels on them), you might have troubles when 'Redneck X' comes back into a computer store with it saying 'I want to upgrade the hard drive, y'all!'. (Can you imagine the faces on the so called 'techs' when they boot it up?)
So if you want your machine secure, you also want microsoft to have free reign on your PC.
Y'know, there is a way to have a secure machine without Microsoft having 'free reign' over your PC, and that is to......not...run...windows. Ever crossed your mind?

True. (at least he did on the 2001 bbc set) Although I don't think he is really a massive user of them, he is very enthusiastic about macs though. (he has a powerbook G4 titanium)
This is really great news. This was one area where OpenGL was under threat of being overrun by Direct3D and/or proprietary, vendor specific extensions.
In recent months I have become worried that OpenGL 2.0 would be dead in the water as a standard, because progress seemed slow. I was wondering whether we would ever see OpenGL 2.0 as an accepted standard. Now that is far more likely. This is definately a Good Thing as far as standards are concerned. Nice one, Mr. Carmack!

Is this something from which we cannot Opt-er-out?
I'll get my coat.
Actually, I'm not fat, in fact im quite underweight for someone my height, I'm told.
Whatever, I'm not quite sure why you would care. I'll just go over here and talk to myself...

Although I'm not gonna pin myself down by saying they're the best ever, I have a massive obsession with LP5 at the moment. Fantastic sounds.
Pretty much anything from warp records is very decent music, though.
