If you are using "stable" in your sources.list verses the actually release name you'll in all likelihood just upgrade right along to the new release, and probably without much fuss.
Never do this in any kind of production environment! You'd be crazy to do any release->release update without testing your own apps first.
Some people say France has the best system but the Organization For Economic Co-operation a Development, OECD, disagrees. In the report "Private Health Insurance in France" it says "While France has a universal public health insurance system, the coverage it provides is incomplete and the vast majority the French population has private complementary health insurance."
No, the OECD doesn't disagree. Sharing the burden between public and private insurance is the French system. People who claim that it's the best do that on outcome, and in particular outcome per euro spent.
I get the sneaking suspicion that the reason you can mail a letter from one side of the US to the other for 'only' $0.42 is that somehow the USPS doesn't count on stamps as it's only source of income. I'd be willing to bet they get money from the taxpayers just like every other government-run program.
Or, to paraphrase, "I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, and I'm too lazy to look it up, but here's my uninformed prejudice". Moron.
Most the recent piracy cases seem to be in the coastal waters of Somalia. I'd of thought either working towards a stable government, or, failing that, an international naval task force might help. But ISPs? What are they supposed to do?
On a side note: yes, I did try once specifically respond to a charity organization [food for the poor] to take me off their list. I said that I would no longer contribute (I had contributed once) and could they please save my sanity --as well as their costs-- by taking me off the list. I kept getting more and more physical junk mail, almost as if they were being encouraged by my entreaties to stop. I threatened to diss them for wasting their income from donations, and I am making good on that threat with this post.
why not send them some food? I'd recommend cheese. It's very nourishing,
Everyone 'internationally' knows that Powell was royally fucked over by the war party on that matter, and will be willing to cut him some slack.
Everyone 'internationally" knows what you call someone who's paid to be fucked.
The vast majority of non-Americans would love to see Powell as VP - he has an air of authority (WMD presentation notwithstanding, we could all see his distaste for that farrago) that would be a credit to your nation,
Oh dear, he found it distasteful. How sad, lets tell all the poor dead Iraqis, Americans, Brits, &c that Powell was just lying back and thinking of America instead of liking it.
Powell is a spineless waste of space. Maybe you think that would make a good president?
he is intelligent, and he does not seem tied too closely to the idiology of either party. In short, a competent guy who isn't a professional politician.
Intelligent? Mr Colin "oh noes, the CIA lied to me" Powell? Mr Colin "I don't have the balls to resign" Powell?
He's the perfect example of military incompetence, a yes man who was promoted to the point where he needed independent thinking and was unable to rise to the task.

For around 1000EUR you can get an 8-core machine from Dell. Each of those cores will be maybe twice the speed of the horribly slow P4.
Obviously VM's are not a replacement for a cluster - a real cluster would have multiple machines like this. But for trying stuff out you'll save yourself a hell of a lot of pain. (he says trying to diagnose a kernel crash in his virtual OpenSSI cluster at the same time as writing rubbish on Slashdot).
each one has its own memory, cpu and disk. there's no contention for their resources. To do that 100% correctly, wouldn't I need a core for each, and a disk for each vm?
No you don't. That's what the "V" in "VM" means. All you need is a cpu that's faster then 10 old clunkers, more memory than 10 old clunkers and more disk than 10 old clunkers. Given the kind of systems on sale today that should be pretty easy to do.
You also avoid 10 crappy old power supplies and lots of horrible network wires &c.

Well, since this is about FF3? It's supposedly FASTER on javascript parsing & processing now, than Opera 9.27 is
No, it's been machine-optimised to run the benchmark faster. Whether it's actually faster depends on how much your javascript resembles the benchmark.

why do the idiots keep putting on VGA ports (this includes my uber-expensive Sony Vaio TX) VGA is dead. Give us a fucking DVI!
If You're short of space give us an HDMI!
Not exactly. Neither fax receipt or a "copy of an email" is any real evidence of anything. Anyone with half a brain can make a perfect fake.

No, it says the can sell it for more, not that they should.
The rumour is that Nintendo are reluctant to ship stuff to the US 'cos they don't want to get paid in USD.

The USPS is self financing, and receives no tax payer subsidy.

Back in the old days when Nigerian 419 stuff asked for fax & phone numbers I'd give them the numbers of the police department.
Oddly enough I could never find the fax number for the fraud squad, so I used the number for the dog squad instead.
"please send account number to recived $ 1 000 000 dollers US" ,,, WOOF! WOOF!

Thank you Anastasia international.
I come home to do big downloads.
At work I've got 2x2Mbit (two 2Mbit SDSL lines).
At home I've got 5Mbit ADSL2 (it would be more like 24Mbit but I'm around 3.5Km from the exchange).
No caps.
30EUR/month.
God, I'm going to hate myself for saying this, but, mod parent UP. This is not "flamebait", this is truth.
Yes.
