I get shivers how everyone talks about backup strategies but not restore strategies as if the data fairy will wave a wand to restore your backups when it all goes tits up.
It's always the same - nobody is interested in doing backups, but when things go pear-shaped suddenly everyone is very interested in doing restore...
I mentioned this when the media was powering up the hysteria machine.
Many government stockpiles of Tamiflu from the last pandemic that according to the "experts" was dead set going to "wipe us out" (lol) are expiring right now. Many governments were *not* going to restock to previous levels due to the enourmous cost.
Guess that's changed now huh?
Not neccessarily - some governments don't buy into all bullshit coming from the drug companies and after careful reviews extend the expiration date on Tamiflu.
Well, there is one question during IE8 setup whether to use some (listed) default settings or the change those settings - maybe setting it as the default browser is one of those defaults?
It didn't override Firefox being the default browser in my XP installation, at any rate...
The public beta will be out May 5th. Paying for MSDN or Technet gets you early access. I wouldn't have a Technet account except my work got it as part of their MS license deal.
Not neccessarily - all I get on msdn.com is

Oh what fun - I pity those foo-s that wanted to download anything else off MSDN today...
Yeah, because hospitals like to be on the bleeding edge of data storage technology and will of course commit their patients' precious data on some zany new technology.
Just like the hospital I work for, of course.
Oh, wait...
np: Dakota Suite - This Failing Sea (The End Of Trying)
As someone posted somewhere above, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act covers this kind of thing.
If you brick your system due to failed modification, you're damn right Nintendo can charge you a repair fee. The fee, however, cannot be anymore than they'd normally charge to repair a firmware-dead system.
So a US federal law relates to a warranty case in Germany exactly how?
np: DOOM - More Rhymin' ft. Kurious (Born Like This)
I know posts get marked as read when using keyboard navigation, but since I don't want to do that could hitting the "Get More Comments" button at the bottom of the page and/or the "More" link in the slider thingy please mark as read and/or collapse all already shown posts?
That would really make finding the newly added posts a lot easier...
True, but what do you get out of being able to jump 65k light years when the whole "explored" galaxy with stations to dock at measures about 50 lj across?
Uh... jump 65k light years away then 65k light years back at a slight angle? That'll get you any distance up to 2*65k ly you want into any distance you want...
That game was awesome! Turned into TrackMania, I think (or at least that's a very very similar, modernised game).
While TrackMania is at most a spiritual successor to Stunts everyone really should check out at least TrackMania Nations Forever, the free version that contains just one of the seven environments of TrackMania United Forever...:)
Slashdot Mirror
With a name like Apache Hadoop, I wouldn't be surprised if they came from Star Wars.
Apache Hadouken probably would have packed even more of a punch... :D

np: Maps & Diagrams - Habakkuk (Intelligent Toys 5)
They've released (long overdue) patches for Acrobat and Acrobat Reader today...
np: Moderat - Porc#1 (Moderat)
And you would have gotten away with it if it weren't for DLP, LCoS and LED backlight...
np: Kontext - Blinkende Stjerne (Round Black Ghosts 2)

You crack me up, little buddy.

Welcome to Redmond, where you have to be a paying member to download a free RC.
Early, or did you miss the 'Otherwise, you can download Windows 7 RC starting May 5, 2009.' in the summary?
Then again - I just tried our MSDN login and, like the article said, there's just the old beta to download.
np: Jared Emerson-Johnson - Attack The Dog (Sam & Max Season One OST (Disc 1))
NASA, aka New Acronyms Swiftly Assembled?
Not long, I suppose...
np: Jared Emerson-Johnson - Woo! (Sam & Max Season Two OST (Disc 1))
Do you have any idea how hard it is to code with a beautiful naked woman throwing herself at you?
No, but I would volunteer to find out - only in the interest of science, of course...
np: Cujo - A Vida (Adventures In Foam (Disc 1))
Go ahead, say something positive about B.O. I'll never see it!
To be honest, I'd rather they did something about body odor instead of talking around it...
np: Denzel + Huhn - Kinogat (Time Is A Good Thing)
Wouldn't that be Tweetbots? *shudder*
np: Herbert - We're In Love (Scale)
There's a reason that Boston isn't known for anything except baked beans and New York is a center for culture, art, music, and science.
Heh.
My home town is this year's European "Capital of Culture" (aka "Linz 09")...
I still don't see how putting a ferris wheel on top of a parking garage is very cultural, but maybe that's just me.
np: Herbert - Harmonise (Scale)
...that the bomb squad didn't show up?
np: Radiohead - Polyethylene (Parts 1 & 2) (Airbag / How Am I Driving?)

What, and get a sudden influx of new 7-digit accounts while people are waiting one year just to get that final achievement?
Actually, why not? :D

Though it's sad that the maintainer of one of AdBlock Plus' block lists (the "EasyList") died he still wasn't the maintainer of AdBlock Plus itself.
That's still Wladimir Palant, as can be easily seen here.

You know, Firefox could really use a goatse filter.
What, AdBlock Plus isn't enough anymore?
Just put the domain into it's blocklist.
np: Autechre - Augmatic Disport (Untilted)
The only note is that you can't jump to the end of a block.
I'm pretty sure an empty statement (which is a statement, after all, and that's what's supposed to come right after a label) should do the trick:
{
...
...
goto foo;
foo: ;
}
np: Autechre - Are Y Are We (WAP72 12")
It's "current" as of September 2008..
O Rly?
*cough*
