Maybe we should wait for 10.1.... Mandrake seems to have problems with.2 releases,.0's are OK.
8.0 - don't know, didn't use it. 8.1 - solid (once the Invalid EIP init workaround for K7T266 chips was used) 8.2 - flaky (on my system at least) 9.0 - OK 9.1 - solid. Excellent work 9.2 - flaky
OK, so I'm extrapolating from a single data point (me), but....
Windows Update is getting hammered! I've got a box I need to update (yeah, it's a work box...) and I've had to try 6 times so far, because WU is so fscking slow!
What, pray tell, do you think about curling (Winter Olympics), or team handball, or rhythmic gymnastics (ugh)?
As for baseball rarely played in "all but a few countries"... Tell that to (besides the US): Canada; Japan; China; Korea; The Phillipines; pretty much all of South America, Central America, and the Caribbean; Australia...
I've got a cluster generating data at 5GB per run. My estimated daily backup needs (incremental) are going to run ~30GB or so. Unfortunately, I don't have an external SCSI port, so I can't run a tape library. If I can avoid having to swap 6 or 7 DVDs, it's worth it.
Duh... I forgot the Latin American nations as powers in Baseball.
My apologies to anyone from those nations who was offended. My point is that the Euros stink at it, so they want it dropped in favor of rugby and golf.
Now let's see.... Who are the powers in Baseball and Softball... US, Canada, Asian nations, Australia.... And who excels in golf and rugby? European nations (OK, the US excels in golf, and the Aussies in rugby, but...)
This wouldn't be a thinly veiled attempt by the European contingent to get more medals for the Europeans, would it?
I wrote a program that used an illegal data structure.
And the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one, the meanest father raper of them all, was coming over to me and he was mean 'n' ugly 'n' nasty 'n' horrible and all kind of things and he sat down next to me and said, "Kid, whad'ya get?" I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay $50 and clean up the code." He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?" And I said, "Using an illegal data structure." And they all moved away from me on the bench there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I said, "And pirating illegal MP3s." And they all came back, shook my hand, and we had a great time on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing, father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the bench.
And you thought you got screwed over as a developer?
Nurses get all the shit, all the repsonsibility, and none of the respect. The hospitals try to keep the number of RNs to a minimum, giving nurses up to 15 patients at a time.
My wife is an RN, and she's told me horror stories about this sort of shit.
If the hospitals could outsource nursing care, they would. Actually, they do. It's called "registry nurses".
Timing is a major issue in large metropolitan areas. The lights are timed for a certain speed.
To be honest, this sort of thing can be done without sensors. For example, there's a street near me with a limit of 35mph. Driving down it at 38, you hit every red light, simply because of timing. Driving down at 33, you hit every green. The surface street traffic in major metropolitan areas is EXTREMELY sensitive to light timing.
If you start randomly (because some fuckwit is speeding) changing the timing on the lights, you fuck up the entire area, not just that intersection.
I can't wait to see this implemented in downtown L.A., and then watch the news the that night to see pictures of the four hour gridlock that it caused.
CA also allows left on red, BUT... only from a one-way onto another one-way.
In either case (right or left on red), you must come to a full stop, and ensure there is no oncoming cross-traffic with the right-of-way before making the turn.

I want to find whoever started this 'The GPL might not hold up in court' and shoot them in the head.
I don't know for sure, but your best bet is probably somewhere around Redmond, WA.
cp /boot/oldconfig-2.6.3 /usr/src/linux-2.4.5 && make mrproper etc.
:-)
It's probably not a good idea to use a 2.6 config with a 2.4 kernel (not to mention that 2.4.5 is REALLY ancient).
Yeah, I know it was a typo.

and the EU has a bigger economy
Just out of curiosity, when did the EU become a single nation?
I thought that was when Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play?

Oh, and Rugby is?
So baseball is an obscure, rarely played sport.

Freedom: "I won't!"
And then there were none...
Yeah, I liked that! And the Mozilla sample was Groklaw.
I thought TFA said it was using RedHat9, but the screen shot of a fully installed system is SuSE.
Duh... I forgot the Latin American nations as powers in Baseball.

Unfortunately, I believe that the IOC is trying to yank baseball (and softball) in favor of golf and rugby.

Baseball was an exhibition sport in '84 LA games.
I don't know if it was in the '88 Seoul games. If it was, then there have been 4 non-exhibition medals ('88, '92, '96, '00), otherwise it was 3.
There is an effort to get bridge qualified as an Olympic sport. I kid you not.
As a dues-paying member of the ACBL, I find this insane.

Yeah. $10K for graveyards. I know what the signon bonus is. So does she. It's the working conditions. That extra one-time $10K ain't worth it.

They *ARE* unionized. In L.A., at least, they belong to SEIU.

Hell, not just games, but FUCKING TYPING TUTORS....
Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing 15 claims 2K/XP compatibility, but you MUST be admin to run it. I returned it.
Well, Slashdot did have the "Geeks in Space" feature....
