Absolute tosh. I have no idea what GUI you use, but I've never seen such an issue with TortoiseSVN or the command line tools, and we regularly commit hundreds of files at a time.
I suspect that something is up with your svn server. We use svnserve and have never had issues like that.
And don't engine brake because that is poor form and is retarded. Use your damn brakes.
Absolutely untrue for modern fuel injected engines.
With such an engine, when you take your foot off the throttle, the engine management unit will detect the closed throttle and shut off the fuel completely, i.e. no consumption at all. If you put the clutch in and let the engine idle the engine will still be consuming idle fuel which isn't much but is a lot more than 0.
The first reference I turned up is the last paragraph here.
In addition with energy return systems coming soon to production cars, it's even less likely that you want to coast with the clutch in or in neutral.
Look at this post here from Groklaw, reviewing the testimony from the SCO v Novell trial.
PJ notes that SCO enacted a license, illegally according to Novell, with Sun in 2003 that allowed Sun to open source Unix Sys V. Knowing they had that, Sun still allowed SCO to embark on their SCOSource campaign against IBM and Linux users for allegedly putting Sys V code into Linux.
For far too many years to remember, I have never ever paid to receive a call, either via landline or mobile (cell).
We have always paid to make calls, any "free" minutes your package may have, are of course included in the package price.
The only time you have to pay to receive a call is when the caller reverses the charges (call collect), but even then you have the option of whether to accept the call or not.
The only other thing I can think of that may be close to what you're talking about is Pay As You Go (PAYG) mobile contracts, where there is often a minimum top up payment required to keep the number (and SIM card) active.
Andrew Orlowski seems to think that the Judge has actually rejected all the defendants claims in this piece at the Register.
Curiously his argument is made in terms of The EFF's case is "without merit", the Judge said rather than the actual defendant but he's known for his antagonism towards the EFF, linux and other anti-corporate leaning bodies it's not too surprising.
You should try the Magic Roundabout in Hemel Hempstead in the UK.
Seven roads (including 2 dual-carriage or divided highways) converge on to one mega roundabout. Each road intersection is actually a min-roundabout and traffic goes around the main roundabout in two concentric circles, the outer one clockwise, the inner one anti-clockwise.
Hours of fun were had when I was a kid watching non-locals trying to either get on or off the roundabout.
And if you read the KB article 928388 properly you will see that only Vista makes any use of the dynamic timezones.
Any Windows OS other than Vista will not correctly determine the tz offset for DST periods in years prior to 2007. This is a real blow for data logging applications that would like to present historical data in the local tz.
4) Microsoft wants gamers to abandon the PC as a gaming platform and go to the 360. Then they can focus on making the Home version of Windows a purely media-centered OS and the business version essentially a backend for Office-type apps without having to worry about making a 3D rendering library or any of that crap.
Hmmm, maybe you need to floss a little yourself.
Not disputing the games comment but WPF aka Net 3.0 is intrinsically a 3d rendering library. So much so, my ATI tools that draw an FPS counter in the top r.h. corner of any 3d screen (only ever seen in games before) now does so on any WPF window, dialog or menu.
If you had access UK TV, you would have been treated to the "awesome" spectacle of the recently appointed Home Secretary John Reid making a doom laden statement about the massive terror plot that had just been foiled where the threat to many aircraft was immense.
I have never seen a UK broadcast like it before, just Reid and the Transport Minister Douglas Alexander sitting there intoning the scale of the threat and the highly restrictive measures being implemented immediately at airports. No interviewer or presenter just the government talking heads.
Of course the context within the UK was that the Home Office was in terrible trouble for releasing foreign prisoners (over 1000) back into the community without deporting them and trying to foist the ridiculous ID card scheme on the UK and John Reid had been brought in to "sort it out".
This was PR manna from heaven and the UK press lapped it up. I wasn't aware of any of the mainstream media outlets questioning the "liquid bomb" idea.
Keep in mind that European retail prices usually include the tax, whereas US prices don't. By law in the UK, probably the same in the rest of the EU. Goods advertised in the retail market must include VAT (sales tax). Only if the advertisement is directed towards business users, who can reclaim the VAT if registered for it, can the pre-tax price be shown, but even then the tax inclusive price is also shown (usually in a smaller size typeface).
I'm sure even Microsoft would never delete all source copies of Windows 3.1...Of course not, how else would they be able to provide all the "documentation" on protocols that the EU is asking for?
MOT (originally Ministry of Transport) is UK shorthand for the annual vehicle test that is required for all vehicles that are more than 3 years old. A valid MOT is required to enable you to pay for the vehicle tax (Road Fund Licence) which must be displayed on all vehicles.
There does seem to be a lot of negative feeling about ebuyer lately, but all I can say is that in the past they've been fine for me. I've probably had a dozen orders with them, though none recently, with no problems at all.
Remember, as several other posters have noted, your CC company is your friend here.
I'm sorry, I've been driving for a long time and NEVER had a speeding ticket. Obviously this means that I've never been caught, but seriously for the last 10 years I've tried really hard not to exceed ANY speed limit, particularly in built up areas.
It really isn't that difficult to keep to the speed limit. You manage to keep it on the tarmac, why not below the limit, or are your driving skills seriously that poor?
It really incenses me when thoughtless commuters pile through my village, where there is a 30MPH limit, at 40+. There are schools on both sides of the two main roads as well as housing and kids are always crossing the roads. A very busy beach area near me has a 15MPH limit, and I've nearly had riots because I stick to the limit.
I have no problems with a speeder getting hit really hard with fines, bans, increased insurance etc. but I am against this data being used for ANY other purpose.
I also faxed my 10 regional (Scotland) MEP's. I had meaningful replies from 3. It does seem that the MEP's are just following the party line without applying any critical thought.
I also emailed Diana Wallis just before the JURI considerations as she seemed to be most likely to be able to influence proceedings. I have had several positive replies from her office.
I have also previously faxed my Westminster MP (Sir Robert Smith BT) who passes my letters on to the Minister concerned, from whom I get the usual bland reply. My MP doesn't seem inclined to do any more than act as a conduit.
My conclusion, some of our representatives are actually inclined to engage with their constituents. They might even be willing to listen.
Slashdot Mirror
The summary is a blatant rip-off of the BBC article found here.
HERE.
Lots of reasonably priced displays, some with touch and on-bard "intelligent" controllers.
+1 for the E6520. I have one with an SSD and it flies, the screen is great and it has a full size keyboard with the numeric keypad,not that I use it
Eh, Wireshark has been cross platform from day 1.
Or the battery could have condition monitoring built-in.
I don't see how an exchangeable battery could be safe without it.
And where do you get this info from?
In the UK prices of USB keys have been in freefall. I see no sign of any music tax.

Not that I agree with the governments intentions, but the measure that is proposed intends to collect data about communications, not the content.
That is the destination of every email, phone call and start and end time of every session with an ISP will be logged.
Some of this is required due to EU law, but other measure are UK only.
See the Register story or the actual consultation doc.

I don't think so.

Not exactly hole after hole, but there was one remote vulnerability midway through 2006. See the Secunia advisories.

Me too. Also had queasy moments with Far Cry. Never had a problem with any other FPS.
Anyone wondered if the light of the fridge gets off when you close it?
Gets off with what? The cucumber ?
