About 4 or 5 years ago I wouldn't have agreed. I've lost a couple of disks to viruses. You could get some pretty nasty viruses if you knew where to look. Since the late 90's, with the Word Virus, and then these vbs viruses, You're pretty safe, and you're more likely to come to more harm installing things like McCaffe onto your windows computer (where do they get virus map data?).
It'd still hurt a hell of a lot with a 10% speed difference. If your friend had been traveling at 90 or 100 he would have been a few miles away when the accident happened.
Well, I tried getting it from my local mirror.ac.uk but it wasnt up there, so I checked out the bandwidth on kernel.org and it was less then 50% used, so I grabbed it.
Obviously you forget about that little hacking incident a while back where microsoft source was gained. Those poor devels, died of laughter before the CIA got there:(
You cant just drop the fuel on the surface, most of the top of a plate is acreted off and shoved upwards. To get a subduction you'd have to drill a long way down, and thats once you've gone down a few km's of ocean!
Also what difference does it make? Oceanic plates subduct at a rate of a few cm's per year. They dont melt for hundereds of km's under the continent they are subducting under, or millions of years. Some theorys about some plates say that the plate gets all the way to the taylor/guttenburg without melting!
If you dont like the advertising I assume you could just edit the source and remove it. Theres a Swansea University advert in the bootup for 2.2.x kernels. Doesnt bother me, I dont boot up much.
1. (Law) The act of stealing; specifically, the felonious taking and removing of personal property, with an intent to deprive the rightful owner of the same.
Well, thats good, but as I cant deprive the rightful owner of his software, I'm not stealing. Copyright infringement, maybe. Theft? Nope.
just in defence of the kids who want free stuff. People in college and below dont have a 5 day a week job, arent raing in $1000 a week, and cant afford to buy software. I'm one of those, and I'm not ashamed to say I copy CD's, games, etc.
When I have money to spend, then I'll make it all up. By getting free stuff now, we are likely to buy it in future. Do you think I'll have time to spend hours a day seaching arround for a good mp3 on napster when I could just buy the CD? The only "illegal" thing's I'll download are friends episodes, as we dont get them here for months.
In a second part of Levin's experiment, the soil sample was baked. Any organisms would presumably be killed. The nutrients were reapplied. This time, no gas emerged. To Levin, it meant that whatever had produced the gas in the soil before the heating was now dead.
So we invade another planet, force feed its habitants and then burn them alive. At least its consistent with US foreign policy.
However if it was travekling at near light speed, from its perspective its only been going a few months/weeks/days/nanoseconds. If it trned arround can came back and said "when I left it was 6 months ago - who was president", we would say Clinton. The probe would disagree, saying it was a trick question as Earth did not exist 7 billion years ago.
Depending on what you're aiming at, my favourite site in the whole wide world - www.linuxnewbie.org, has a good selection of NHF's, desiged for the newbie (hence newbiedised help files). If you're looking at HOWTOS, you may as well check these out.
Technicolor, the largest supplier of movie prints to the industry, has taken a lead role in introducing digital cinema to the public
It's nice to see that at least some companies are embracing new technologies and ideas and migrating into that field, instead of trying to slow its progress.
The problem with linux games
on
Linux Sin Demo
·
· Score: 4
For linux to be accepted by the main stream it needs a load of good games. But not only that, these games need to work first time. Put in the CD, click, click and wait for the pretty installer (see Red Alert 2).
Once thats finished click, click, load up the game. People dont want to have to change their config files to get the mouse to work! If a slashdot editor cant get a game working within a few minutes, how long will it take joe luser?
Dont get me wrong, I love linux, I have a couple of loki games, and play tuxracer every day. I havent been to windows for weeks, and that was so I could watch some asfs.
On the bright side:
The point a year ago, or even a few months ago, is the general public wont use linux until games are ported, and they wont be ported until people use linux.
Now it's:
People wont use linux until there are good games that are easily set up.
Unfortunatly there still isnt much gping on in many publishers eyes. A few days ago I got this from Hasbro, with regard to Civ 3.
Development of this product has not yet began. The developers are at this
time only finalising concepts and design functions. There are no plans for
any Linux versions and no current plans to allow outside companies to
publish Linux editions of any of our catalogue titles - sorry.
Which is sad.
Also, I noticed that CTP2 was nearly out now. I havent heard a work about it from loki, even though they ported CTP.
Its a sad fact tha game on linux, although very fast now with xfree 4, arent ported on time and arent set up as easily as their windows counterparts. The only exception is Quake 3. (I havent managed to set up UT yet). Apart from them, gaming is a loss on linux. For now.
I didnt see any queues here, in fact, I never heard a peep in the computer science common room.
However, the register is reporting about online buying. We've not gone as mad as you yanks though.
The PS2 retails for $300 in the US, its $433 over here. Somethign seems a little amis. If I were interested I'd get a NTSC-->PAL converter at those prices!
I left my moderately busy (2000+ visitors a day) site for a couple of weeks on holiday. 2 days after I left my ISP halted all access to my site, because of 5 perfectly legal mp3's. The didnt email me to tell me why it stopped, and the person I left in charge didnt have the neccersary stuff to sort it out.
By the time I got the site back up, after making a few trans-atlantic phone calls, I had lost 90% of my visitors and, TBH, I'd lost all heart in doing something that I loved. I decided to shut the site down. Needless to say I didnt pay for the month that my site was offline, even though I got threats from the ISP.
Unfortunatly I lost all control over the domain name, as they refused to let go of the technical contact listing. A shame as I lost out on a £500 offer for it too...

and sent us into a guardrail at 80mph. [...] would not have happened had my friends been driving the speed limit.
So if you had impacted at 70mph (the motorway/dual carrageway limit in the UK), you would have been fine?
Howabout BT and hyperlinks then?
Wasnt there a bond film that revolved arround this?
I dont think you could unless you run a local program, gkrelm shows me usage of eth0 and eth1, which is cool.
Well, I tried getting it from my local mirror.ac.uk but it wasnt up there, so I checked out the bandwidth on kernel.org and it was less then 50% used, so I grabbed it.
Does it say "assimilate this"? before blowing to bit a major piece of space fungus infected equipment?
Obviously you forget about that little hacking incident a while back where microsoft source was gained. Those poor devels, died of laughter before the CIA got there :(
You'd think that, but then NASA cant even land a probe on Mars right ;-)
but then what if a heareby unknown comet hit this comet in 10 years time?

Of course, it's equally likely that by deflecting it now, it won't colide with Earth in 70 years.

But we've been through that many a time.

So how do I know if you're in LA or New York? Just by looking at the number I could be charged long distance or short distance!
Not here, thats for sure
Bastard moderators jealous of my karma! MOD THIS DOWN THEN YOU FLABBY GEEK!!!!

His spirit will live on in the form of ping. There can be no greater legacy then to leave behind a tool that is used by millions every day.
