Emergency vehicles can run red lights all they want, especially if there aren't any cars around. The whole point of these devices is to warn other drivers, not to give the ambulance/fire truck/cop permission.
In fact, if there aren't any cars around, you can run the light too. Just not legally.;-)
I actually saw this in action just the other day. We were sitting at a light (it had just turned green) and then it turned red again because an ambulance was crossing. Then we had to wait a whole 'nother cycle. Grr.
You didn't want to play songs about pimpin' ho's and killin' wangstahs at a sensetive occasion like your wedding? Sounds like it would have been "ghetto fabulous".
Clearly the advantages are great. This matches unix, linux, AIX, and posix in any case. However QNX and BSD don't match, therefore: we must use more search strings: *{i,I}*{x,X} QNX *BSD
(Thankfully BSD distros always have the BSD part capitalized, and QNX is always capitalized.)
Furthermore, an SQL implementation: SELECT ALL FROM OPERATING_SYSTEMS WHERE ( OS_NAME LIKE '%BSD' OR OS_NAME LIKE '%i%x' OR OS_NAME LIKE 'POSIX' OR OS_NAME LIKE '__X' );
As you can see, my SQL only matches lowercase "i" and "x" for brevity. Therefore I added POSIX and as a special case, and QNX and AIX should both be matched by '__X'.
Maybe we could just use SELECT ALL FROM OPERATING_SYSTEMS WHERE ( OS_TYPE LIKE 'POSIX' );
I for one welcome our new these-go-up-to-eleven Mac OS X using overlords from soviet russia. Clearly their beowulf cluster of guitar amps is t3h ub3r r0ckz0rz.
I personally can't wait for Mac OS X 10.42, because it will be the answer to life, the universe, and everything, you insensetive clod.
I'm assuming that means you have 200,000 people packed into a small area, otherwise I don't understand how that could be a small town. Mine's got some 75K and it's a thriving suburb... or perhaps you are surrounded by cities with populations in the millions?

It's a car (typically compact, and commonly a Honda Civic or other asian-made car) that has 2 or more of the following: 1. Been lowered (IE muffler is scraping ground) 2. Fart-can muffler (makes car sound like weed whacker) 3. A hood that doesn't match the rest of the car 4. (Almost always) an asian guy with spiky hair behind the wheel 5. One or more stickers reading "Type-R" or something in Japanese 6. Etc.
If you don't have these in your country, be thankful.
These people are the meatspace equivalent of script kiddies.
Sorry, but you're on my foes list for comparing slackware to a riceburner. HOW FREAKING DARE YOU!!!!
Slackware needs very little tuning to set up a basic box. Installing a simple web server is a matter of installing, double-checking inetd.conf to make sure you're not running anything you don't need, and copying over your content. It comes with sane defaults, and most server programs come with a default config to work from.
Now Gentoo... there's a riceburner. The whole "cooler than you" thing, the "l33t" factor, the inability to post without saying "Gentoo rocks!" (drag racing)... etc.
(I don't really hate you, but that's annoying.:-P )
Amen. Slackware is great. I like the "BSD-style" init scripts, I like how most packages are standard, as if you had built them yourself from source, as opposed to being heavily modified, with distro-specific default configs, etc.
Another interesting thing to take into account is that back then there was probably more hand-optimized code (as opposed to compiler-optimized). I don't know how this would affect things, but I imagine it would. Probably hand-optimized code would be less predictable.

Nice time don't mix up "nice try" and "next time".
Yes, I would be tempted.... to get an RPG and blow the inconsiderate mofos to kingdom come. (Insert Duke Nukem quote here.)
Come get some.
I run dnetc, you insensetive clod!
Hahaha! It was a while before I got that one. Very good. :-D
Crap, that was supposed to be:

This is OT, but how is support for JPEG2K? When will it be viable to put together a webpage with JPEG2K pictures?
+1, Insightful!
From now on the proper wildcard is: *{i,I}*{x,X}

Don't mod me funny!
Why do you need a life, when you have a brain?
Oh wait, you don't have either of those! Nevermind.
Why don't you post the code somewhere publicly? Will it compile for a PPC?
dnetc
Or maybe he just doesn't want people to know he uses Linux!
That's just blatant "this is a movie for horny guys" content. One of the bond movies was called Octopussy if I recall... 8 of 'em? I mean sheeezzz...
And let's not get started on what kind of dumb whore you'd have to be to play a character named "Pussy Galore"...

A small town of 200,000 people.

As a side note, I love one-line loops.
