I took the Centrino sticker off my laptop and put it on one of our older servers here. The "Designed for Microsoft Windows XP" sticker went on the can of compressed air.
T'would be fine if it weren't for the fact that they were ruining the ol' Ludiwg Van by playing portions of the marvelous Ninth while me glazzies have to spy on a bit of the ol' ultra-grossout
Redundancy, silly. Just set up two mail servers and have an alert system watching each. If server A goes down, it sends mail using server B. If server B goes down, it sends mail using server A. One of them has to be the real workhorse, but the other can configured to not handle mail from anything but that one alert system and thus it wouldn't have very high software/hardware requirements at all. Depending on how big your shop is, you may just want to throw it on one of your weakest servers as a daemon/service that will just sit idle most of the time.
Okay, it actually didn't provide me with anything... but it paid WAY better. I was the first person that I knew of in my circle of friends at my university who signed up for it, so I got a lot of friends and their friends and their friends... ad inf. to sign up and as a result I started banking some decent cash. At one point I was making upwards of $150 a month for having a mouse emulator just do random clicks for 8-10 hours a night a few days a month.
It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.
Another sound effect that I'm aware of, but have never read about, is the "creaking door." I don't know what library it's from or who used it first. It's the sound of a creaky door opening, where the creak hits two distinct tones. I've heard it in more television shows and movies than I can count.
I know what you are talking about with that door sound, I've heard it used a ton. I first heard it in Myst (it might have been Riven, actually) and have heard it used in a myriad of films and TV shows since then. It's definitely distinct, but it's also not incredibly unique so it doesn't stand out unless you know what to listen for.
So, here's my bet: they probably do something like crack open a cab or zip, parse a PDF, for example, for 'magic things' that can be ignored without changing the functionality ('lossy' but nothing of significance lost), or take an HTML file and strip all spaces and newlines between tags. Similar things could be done for other file types: Removing quotes and instead, magic-quoting commas in a CDF. Etc, ad inifinitum.
Lossy compression eh? Get LZip for all your lossy file compression needs! It can reduce your file sizes up to 100%!
I was scanning through the articles really fast and I just saw the link labeled "Roger Wilco" (didn't see the headline) and the first thing I thought was "w00h00 Space Quest!" but then I remembered that other bit of software that involves that name. Ahhh.. Space Quest... how I miss thee.
The world needed a free audio codec but ogg vorbis is still a fairly niche market in the compressed audio field these days. I use it and love it but I am still in the vast minority. I would use (and love) a free video codec from the Xiph people as well, but that doesn't mean that other people will. It's that damn market momentum holding good things back, but such is the plight of a lot of good technologies it seems.
Why did you decide to approach the Debian developer community with hostility and name-calling rather than an attempt to be civil and work out your differences?
Less than Jake - "Anthem". Less than Jake have been around for 10 years, and they just now made the hop to a major (warner bros.). I kind of have some personal things about them jumping lablels, but, they have been everywhere. Check their discography on their website. LTJ can sell out 5,000 people venues, I've seen it (boat house in va. beach, the Nation in D.C., etc).
This isn't their first release on a major label. They were on Capitol Records a few years back when they released "Hello Rockview". They only signed for the one album and they had several stipulations about the pricing of the CDs in stores. For example, I found "Hello Rockview" in Sam Goody for $9.99... which is unheard of. In fact, I think they explicitly put packaging on that said "Do not pay more than $10 for this CD!".

They'll just ask their girlf.... ohhh, right.

Alternately, the phrase which got you in trouble in the first place:
"Will you marry me?"
Watch out for those Safe Clear areas now!
Ahahahahahaha, I know you're not trying to do anything in the "real world" with slashdot poll results, are you?
Drunken Jackass indeed.

I vote Python or Scheme.
Oops, I translated the error too :)
make that last line:
print '%s -> %s' % (key, adict[key])
Actually, the python version would be:
adict = {'key': 'val', 'key2': 'val2', 'key3': 3.14}
for key in adict:
print 'k -> ', adict[key]

Well you're fucking up their v1.0!

"FCC Still Taking Comments Cell Number Portability"
er, something's missing, either a colon after "Comments" or some word like "Regarding" or "Concerning" in between "Comments" and "Cell"

You should sue slashdot for making you fat(ter?) now. I mean, if people can sue McDonald's for that .. why not slashdot?
