Which leaves the door open to filibustering, right? Whatever, in France, the law needs to pass trough a bipartisan comitee and through the constitutional court (equivalent of US supreme court).

Mmm, yeah. Lets assume that you issued 'killall pulseaudio' and then 'kill -2 1234' on the command line.
What I was referring to was the fact that when you press Ctrl-R in emacs mode, then you type 'kill' it would show e.g. "kill -2 1234", and then you'd add 'all', and then it would show 'killall pulseaudio' (which would have been issued earlier). OTOH, in vi mode, when I press Esc-/ I can type 'kill' and then search for the killall with 'n', but it's less handy IMHO.
Somthing that's handy with Ctrl-R as opposed to ESC-/ is that Ctrl-R updates the search results as you type. Do you know if you can achieve the same effect in vi mode?
I had a satelite before.. ping times well over 1200ms.
Smells like something funny on the provider side. I assume the satellite was geostationnary (35786 km from earth). So given that the signal travels at the speed of light, a RTT between you and the provider hub should be: 35786 / c * 4 * 1000000 = 477ms 4 being the times the distance is travelled (modem->sat, sat->provider, hub->provider, sat->modem). Of course the signal travels a bit less fast, and there's some processing at your providers but I've seen results around 600ms.
Weren't the 1,2 sec RTT you're talking about between two sat modems? That would explain such a huge delay.
Seconded, I've helped "writing" a thesis on economy in south-east Asia. The work basically consisted in getting a thesis produced the previous year, and adding the current year to figures, tables, etc. The text would be left as-is, ready for the next year.
Besides, there's a more direct method of breaking the encryption: track down the people who wrote the virus and force them to talk. You, sir, need to stop watching 24
*any* software [the French] write is always "perfect" even if it can be demonstrated to be a piece of crap in front of half a dozen decision makers. You know, any "demonstration" aimed at half a dozen PHBs often relies on the looks of your Powerpoint presentation. So, basically, you're good at picking fonts, and that pie chart was really gorgeous. Congratulations.
It's not "error free", it's _run-time error free_. Which according to the GP's link means that no undefined behaviour according to the C standard or user added asserts may happen. So for example, the program won't ever divide by zero or overflow an integer while summing.
Well, actually, I click on ads as a sort of reward on blogs I find interesting. I don't even look at the ad, just click a random google ad link. My reasoning is that if the blog post is interesting, I can add my 0.02€, literally.
Get involved in an Open Source project, Summer of code or whatever interests you. Try to gain some experience as soon as you can, specially on fields you don't feel comfortable with. Try to target an active community, you'll learn by observing how people behave on mailing lists, how people react to code, criticisms etc.. A major OS project (Linux, Mozilla, Ruby) would be great.
High loss and high latency are different beasts. The example you mention only refers to high loss. We've got 250ms latency links, and the vanilla Linux stack sucks, period. Even if you tune the stack, you'll still get TCP slow start, so I don't really get your previous posts.
OK, thanks. I've just checked, but it seems that the card is already in the latest kernel. So I think it's either the kernel or the X server that was too old... Good luck anyway:)
...and fails on detecting the (i810) graphics chip. Care to post your lspci -v (the relevant line at least)? Followed by a lspci -nv. It may just be a missing PCI ID...
But your plain talking honesty means I will give Fedora another try. In particular your answer to question 2 makes me question why I support Ubuntu over Debian or fedora. This issue is particularly acute when it comes to the Long Term Support. Let's say that my box absolutely needs that binary blob "without which many computers will not complete the Ubuntu installation" (from ubuntu/philosophy). How on earth will Ubuntu be able to provide the security patch needed to immunize my kernel against a new vulnerability? It will depend on the blob provider. Binary drivers tie you to a particular kernel ABI, and if it changes, you're stuck. Saying that you'll provide five years support and shipping binary drivers seems a bit contradictory to me.
If you'd followed the lkml, you could have seen actual patches fixing real bugs, found by Coverity. Just run this search on google: "by coverity" patch site:lkml.org to convince yourself. The fact that it is impossible to solve the whole problem of program correctness and that false positives will come up doesn't mean that the problem Coverity is adressing isn't usefull.
Knowing a bit on your background would help helping you. Really.

GP is right actually, the stock price is irrelevant. What you could find ridiculous is Google's stock market value compared to actual benefits, but that's another story.
The blog you point to seems to choose the figures that back its theory up. From the same papers it cites as source[1], you can read: Homicides / 100.000 inhabitants 1999 US: 4.55 France: 1.63 Germany: 1.22 Italy: 1.4 Switzerland: 1.25

Looking at GPL code is legal, but the virality of the GPL taints anyone who does so.
Clean room design can help you circumvent this:

Sure I could report it to the lkml, but chances are they'll need more than "Tyan 2882 and UHCI no work."n g-bugs.html
That's right, but the procedure is fully documented here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/reporti

I presume that some background on how this is technically possible _and_ simple enough to implement is available here ?
