the "weird logic" is actually all yours, buddy: you messed up really bad. One billion lines of code doesn't mean one billion bugs. Incorrect types aren't bugs. Compilers issue warnings about these. So if m$ goes around fixing those, damn, they really are worthless.
more than that, 5000 "bugs PER HOUR" means about 1.4 bugs per second. So even the order of magnitude.
EVERYTHING should be in UNICODE dammit! *EVERYTHING*: Sources, texts, executables. That is the only way for completely transparent i18n. I'm tired of having to configure/recompile every single application to display greek characters and then accept greek characters properly.
Physics? narrow? Please tell me what you're smoking,i want to try it.
Physics is as wide as the universe. It studies EVERYTHING and it applies to ANYTHING.
It is the study of the WORLD for God's sake! If it exists, physics studies it, if it doesn't, it still studies it to see how would it be if it indeed existed.
How wider can you get?
I'm insulted, to say the truth.
What happened to sources? Why not use sources instead of ready-made binaries? All you are saying, you say it forgetting that the whole deal with linux is that it is open source. Now, there is a chance that wuftpd is closed-source and a very needed program, which i didn't go check... but still, you can strace the fucker and see what it does.
No, wait, that was stupid. On an electronic watch it doesn't matter, because as long as it shows the time, it is running. On a watch with (physical) hands, it can stay put.
10:10 on an analog watch makes the hands appear like a smile. Important for a potential customer. On a digital clock, however, i don't think it is important. Why they use it on lcd watches (with numbers) can be explained as follows: Someone got the marketing idea to display 10:10 on analog watches. It stuck and at some point the seller, who just knows to set any watch he wants to sell to display 10:10, doesn't think that this is irrelevant when you got to do with an electronic watch. now if you could hack your way in the watch and make it display 5318008, that would be l33t...

a hacker is someone who seeing a hex dump of an executable can understand what the program does and if there is a bug somewhere, fix it.
a cracker is something else.
a cracker to a hacker is what an amoeba is to a human.
Get a hp48gx. 4Mhz cpu. Has a complete suite for asm/sysRPL developing, a 131x64 mono lcd, fits in your pocket (barely even if you have large pockets, though) the batteries last for MONTHS, it has two pcmcia-like card slots for memory (up to 4M, standardd=128K) or, if you got the balls, custom hardware, and hundreds of apps (www.hpcalc.org). Now if some freak can make a network card for that thing...Oh yeah, IR (can barely do irDA) and rs232 cable. can do 9600bps but recent hacks allow it to go above 56K.
you will probably never going to find something sturdier, with the exception of a caterpillar 10ton truck.
Development has stopped since years, we are afraid _production_ has stopped too, get while you can.
Even if it wasn't CyberKitty, it still would run to the road and get "bzipped". have you seen how cats face the cross_a_road challenge?
plan a) Sit under a parked car, wait until random moment (when of course, you will surprise the predator on the road) and SPROING to the road! not very mature...
plan b) VEEEERY SLOOOOOOWLY walk across the road, pushing to the asphalt. i emphasize very slowly. most probably one step every five or six seconds. This way you can't be heard from the predator on the road.
On the other hand, dogs look at the traffic and then cross the road in a hurry. I'm not kidding. At some point i saw a dog barking at another dog because he didn't look at the road first before crossing. But that could be random tho:/
...try encoding some progressive metal, with tasty cymbal work and generaly complicated sounds. classical music is very "symmetric" compared to the sudden waveform changes of drums (a lot of bass and a lot of treble).
As a rule of thumb (my thumb at least), you can tell an encoding by the cymbals.
i could tell apart a lame-encoded mp3 at 320kb (as high as it could go anyway and respective quality for stereo etc) from a cd-rip (cdex).
I have a pair of koss's cans. I used the fraunhofer mp3 player (lets just use the standard, ok?). Album was "Fragile art of Existance" of Control Denied.I could tell the mp3 from the original even if i didn't know which it was.
Why not you and the guys from other distros cooperate to make one big fat juicy (in terms of code quality and consistency) linux package? I'm not talking about a "ein folk, ein reich, ein furher" kind of idea, don't get me wrong. It is nice to have a choice, but it would be also very interesting to see what a nice cooperation would lead to. You have ideas, they have ideas, why not collect them all in one package? Isn't this what Open Source is about anyway?
I can see what this will lead to. Bots will start going berserk, infected and all that. Then, some Dravis guy will send me to cleansweep the infected mines again, in a PyroGL.
Santa indeed exists... All those scientific explanations have a weak point: that there are many 'nice' children. If you take into account the society as it is today... not many kids are nice enough to be worth a gift from a Saint:/
...one day it is saved, then it is scheduled for destruction, then it is saved again, then it is...blahblah...
i am beginning to think that all this story exists only too keep some balance in the worldwide economy policy of taking advatage and things. like, a drain or something.
did you know that lots of (edible) food is thrown away while it could very well be given to the poor? think the rest yourself
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, right. Intel is the big player. Right.
;)
My calculator's processor has 64 bit registers. You think i'm trolling? Check it out for yourself:
google search
There are a lot more (and more powerful) procs out there, but this one just seems more appropriate for intel bashing
They should patent the dna genes, of course.
much like others patented the star formations in the sky to find their way home.
while you're at it, patent warm water too.
Who the hell modded this up?

"delphi" is a greek name. "Kylix" is greek for something else. Now, all you lawyer-trigger-happy geeks may stop this nonsense.
Roms are free for about a year now. check www.hpcalc.org
thanks loads eric!

DejaVu?
This is very good! It is great to have your computer boot DIRECTLY into a graphical enviroment NEVER never seeing the cursos blink!!
I dunno, but i like this a lot- i don't care about vesa hacks and shit, but this is great.
is this good or bad?

...iridium ditched, Mir saved...

anyway, i REALLY prefer to see iridium fall. more satelites, more bang, more pretty colors in the sky

How come a flamebait gets changed to insightful in just moments? moderators have contrasting criteria for posts???
Do they expect us to believe that the monitored the whole cracking attempt, yet they end up saying "we don't know what the hacker did".
isn't it a bit weird?
I like the "1983" part best.
