I have a feeling like this. One day I was unable to read and all of a sudden I was able to. Of course, this was a long time ago so the reality could have been different.
No, not at all. It still the right tool. You still have less overhead than if you were using SVN, since you no longer need a repo server and such. But you will only really learn git when you need to collaborate with someone else, this is where it shines.
The only thing I miss from SVN is TortoiseSVN, which is a really polished and nice GUI. TortoiseGit is not even close (when I'm using Windows). On Linux I just stick to the CLI out of habit.
The only infrastructure update you would probably need are charging ports at all parking lots at your workplace and your home.
What? "Only"? This also means upgrading building infrastructure for all buildings (workspace and homes), then upgrade the electrical distribution grid (both "last mile" and long distance) to cope with the increased demand. Also, you have to generate energy for all cars, which probably means more thermoelectric, nuclear or hydro plants since this in an increase in base load where you usually can't use alternative energy solutions like solar or wind.
It's not that simple.
I would like to point it out also that European cities are usually small by New World or Asian standards. If you take a look at here only London make it to the list. Take a trip to São Paulo someday and go take the subway in the rush hour to see what public transport looks like in a crowded, high density city. It's not enjoyable and you're not going to make the middle/upper classes to use it even if it means a shorter commute.
11: Consider PIN protecting your SIM card. This way, when you do a remote erase, the thief might have a clean phone, but won't have free access to bandwidth, SMS, or calling capabilities.
Can't you just call your carrier and report a theft? At least where I live this means the phone services (calling, and so on) are blocked by the carrier. He can't also just switch the SIM card, since the carrier blocks the cell phone "serial number" (IMEI?). He can put another carrier SIM card, if the phone is unlocked.
Johnny Mnemonic was recut to be more of an action movie and was probably botched in this process. The Japanese cut, a little longer, is a tad more interesting. It would be great to see a directors' cut and check if it was better.
Actually it uses Qt. It just goes out of the way and implements it's own look probably by subclassing QCommonStyle. I'd also prefer it to match the system colors but it's a common choice in multi platform application to look your own way on all platforms you support.
Yes, the dependency problems are quite annoying but it's almost impossible to ship closed source on Linux without it.
I thought NetMeeting was dead. Maybe they will merge with Windows Live Messenger?
Yes, I agree. I include my home country (Brazil) too, since it massacred Paraguay, the native people and also invaded Uruguay and the French Guiana. And, US backed or not, it was also a cruel dictatorship for a significant part of the 20th century (29-45, 64-85).
What I'm pointing out that claiming that developing weapons helps to fight non democratic - evil? - countries is a fundamentally hypocrite proposition.
At least the guy should be transparent enough to admit the big stick is for looting other countries and protect interests instead of the protecting democracy bullshit that people spread.
Sounds cliche but the only winning movie is not to play.
History has shown time and time again that when democratic nations disarm the none democratic nation decide to start wars.
The last time the US big stick and Manifest Destiny payed a visit to my country we ended up with a US backed dictatorship, secret police and dead people. All over the continent. All over the world, actually.
It was never about the democratic countries versus the evil nations. It's the joyous game of Who Will Loot Other Countries Today! Somebody ought to make a reality show out of it.
If you ever want to go here I'd be glad to tour your around and let you talk to people who have been tortured by US agents or US trained agents. Look up the School of the Americas. It is still open, helping you swinging your big stick all over your Southern neighbors.
After you look at satellite images year after year you care less about them. A few great images like the pale blue dot are inspiring but a land cover image in false color is pretty much boring.
In my experience with remote sensing better looking means nothing. What matters is the what kind of information we're able to extract from images. Like:
This a useful Landsat image (or composition, actually). It's also very ugly. But it's very useful.
We often had a guy to make a few beautiful images. Do the composition in the GIS software we used normally and our designed retouched it on Photoshop. People often went "wow" when looking at it but it was useless.
The acting companies for which Shakespeare wrote held the legal copy rights to his manuscripts. Theater historians have traditionally maintained that players were reluctant to allow their plays to be printed, either because they feared losing exclusive acting rights to another company or because they believed that the sale of printed texts might reduce the demand for performances.
You should also take in account that SGI itself could have become what NVIDIA is today. Belluzo licensed to NVIDIA Sillicon Graphis IP related to 3D technologies, preferring to focus the company on the high end workstation market. A great number of talented engineers also migrated from SGI to NVIDIA, at this time.
"For the past 15 years, SGI has been the most important 3D graphics company in the world and has created many fundamental technologies for 3D computer graphics," said Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO and president of NVIDIA. "Our collaboration is bringing together the most talented 3D technologists in the world to develop products that will usher in a new era of breathtaking 3D experiences. This is a defining moment for the 3D graphics industry."
"NVIDIA has an impressive team of 3D technologists, an intense focus on delivering industry-leading technology, and the strongest product roadmap for the high-volume 3D graphics industry," said Rick Belluzzo, chairman and CEO of SGI. "This alliance with NVIDIA is a major step forward in our strategy to partner with industry leaders to develop groundbreaking visualization solutions and deliver them to our customers faster than ever before."
If they don't work, you de-orbit them. So the maintenance cost is zero.
Only if you ignore ground station costs. People, antennas, computers, orbit corrections if the reaction subsystem (I don't know if this is the correct translation) needs some work, and so on.
Things (even the ones that are redundant) keeps failing - reaction wheels, foldable structures, and so on. - and the mechanical behavior might change a bit. Software corrections too.
Keeping a spaceship flying is costly. I think buying used is somewhat a very strange idea. Satellites have a determined lifetime and, while sometimes they can outlast it greatly, it's prone to fail soon if someone wants to sell it.
Launching through Orbital using that missile-like launcher is not very expensive (comparing it against ULA-like launch costs) although I believe insurance costs are higher.
Slashdot Mirror
I think the headline might be referring to the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and not to the NSA.
Yes, it's a kernel panic (I also do read bug reports all day ;)).
The blinking caps lock light usually gives panics away.
I suspect the proprietary ATI drivers or something. Maybe next weekend I'll take some time to properly debug it and submit a bug report to Ubuntu.
(By the way, MrEricSir, nice photos on your blog).
I've had a few kernel panics (UI freezes and caps lock lights keeps blinking) since I upgraded to 11.04. It doesn't happens when I'm running Windows.
(I'm a Brazilian)
So, be warned: almost everyone I know migrated from Orkut to Facebook in the last few months.
I think in the end even Brazilians couldn't stand the mess Orkut became.
It's about pet sales, not existent pets. And also one could still adopt pets from a shelter, for example.

Is git the wrong tool for the job?
No, not at all. It still the right tool. You still have less overhead than if you were using SVN, since you no longer need a repo server and such. But you will only really learn git when you need to collaborate with someone else, this is where it shines.

He's talking about preemptive multitasking which Macs didn't offer.
I spent a few moments looking with at the headline and thinking what the fuck Hadoop has to do with three strikes and the French government?

The Google Voice plugin is now available for Linux (and has been for some time? I'm not sure). I previously used a Firefox on Wine solution for this.
Airbus already records remotely some telemetry data but not voice data.

You're not the good guys. You never been.
Every year ./ seems to get worse. Even the Aprils Fools joke are getting worse. Unfortunately there's a lack of decent alternatives.
After you look at satellite images year after year you care less about them. A few great images like the pale blue dot are inspiring but a land cover image in false color is pretty much boring.
It works for me. Also in Brazil with Windows7 (English) and Firefox4 (English). Never had a problem.

Do you think a 30 meters wall is able to survive the impact of a 30 meters tsunami wave? You know fucking nothing.
Shakespeare had copy rights for his work!
From the The Oxford companion to Shakespeare
:
The acting companies for which Shakespeare wrote held the legal copy rights to his manuscripts. Theater historians have traditionally maintained that players were reluctant to allow their plays to be printed, either because they feared losing exclusive acting rights to another company or because they believed that the sale of printed texts might reduce the demand for performances.
I don't know about Mozart.

(Original Press Release)
SGI made all the wrong choices. What Belluzo did is corporate suicide.
He ditched the 3D tech business. He ditched IRIX. I don't really know what he expected to sell after this. Lemonades, maybe.
