I don't think he was wondering so much about the specific program "ldd", but rather the concept of an easily accessible program to analyze what's going on with the libs.
Have you looked on dice.com lately? There are companies asking for 5 years experience with Windows XP and other such rediculously impossible shit. For many companies, a degree is worthless without experience. How do you get the big-time experience? Internship.
There's no way most of the kids who are interns would get the job they would with their lack of experience. Also, interning allows you to NETWORK. Maybe you might not get hired after the internship, but the manager you worked under might suggest you to a colleague.
They say if you want to get into an argument at the dinner table, start a conversation about religion or politics. I would argue that Linux is a cross between religion and politics.
Yeah, you can't play twitch-based games on-line, but if you need that MOVE TO A CITY!
This is the most intelligent thing that I've ever read on/. concerning rural broadband access. I don't understand the feeling of entitlement (this happens primarily in North America) to recieving city services in the middle of nowhere. Wah, I want broadband, but I decided to move to a huge mcmansion built on some farm way outside the city! Wah, I was lured out here by cheap taxes, but I don't get as much as when I was in the city! Why don't I have all the nifty city services!
I'll tell you why: you're in the middle of nowhere. Concentations of civilization have always had better services than the outlying areas. This has been the case since the first civilizations. Guess what: it's not going to change.
If you really want broadband (or sewers, or electricity), you'll get it by rolling your own solution, paying the big bucks to some corporation or whoever, or by moving your ass back to civilization.
When I emailed people at Intel over this matter, they eluded to the fact that releasing the source to a centrino wireless driver would violate FCC rules. Basically, the radiomodem in centrinos are totally programmable. That means, if you have the code, you can broadcast whatever you want on whatever frequency you want. You can violate FCC rules, and the FCC doesn't like that. Therefore, to be FCC certified, the user can not be able to change certain parts of the modem.
It sounds plausible, but they also could have been blowing smoke.
Anyone who pays full price for any Sun gear is getting ripped off! The price on these boxes are always negotiable. You'd be surprised how cost competitive Sun solutions can be when you start talking business with the sales guy.
Needless to say, being a huge public university helps too.
When would files normally "go through AOL's servers"? Since we're on the subject of Instant Messaging, I assume you're talking about AOL IM. Using AIM's file transfer feature does NOT send the files through AOL's servers. It merely sends the file directly from the sender's machine to the recipient's machine.
No. IPV6 and IPV4 can live together happily. IPV4 hosts might even be able to access certain IPV6 hosts through a gateway. NEW hosts would have to support IPV6. Old hosts (routers, etc) need no changes to the network stack. They just can't talk directly to IPV6 hosts. There are ways around this.
They have some pretty good music sometimes. They're totally non-comerrical. That means they don't sell ads, they don't allow programs to be underwritten, DJ's spin for free, and all that good stuff. I like to turn friends on to wfmu who can appreciate the freeform radio format.
In Cablevision (Optimum Online) cable modem land, they throttle your upstream bandwidth down to 10KB/sec when they think you're up to no good. No notice, no nothing. If you want to get back to full speed, you need to call them up, and then sit around till they call you back. Then, once you're on the phone with the head goon, he will chastise you for a bit about how you're doing bad, and grudgingly let you back on "just this once".

Booble is a genius idea for Google. Why not just buy them out?
But how will I know whether the clothes fit?

Nice metaphor though.

There's a huge difference between a sparc 5 and an ULTRAsparc 5.
How about not having sex with monkeys for starters?
Will there be a big banner that says "Is this good for the company?"

That's funny! My workstation at work is running 2.6.1, and I've got 2 Nvidia cards in the workstation. You suck at trolling.
