Citation please? I find this incredibly hard to believe. Not that anti-biotics could have some effect, but that a viral infection can undo the vast differences between eucaryotic and procayotic metabolism. My molecular biologist friends think that that idea is utter horsehit.
One microsecond of downtime (for a daemon re-start) re-starts the uptime clock in my book. Claiming continuous uptime just because the kernel hasn't been re-started measures very little indeed.
You mean that there have been no remotely exploitable bugs that at least required daemon restarts in that time? It really doesn't matter if the kernel is up for 620 days if the services have had to go down once a month for patching.
Unless I'm gravely mistaken, tar treats the file as if it were a big hunk of magnetic tape and your method basically means "seek through the file until you find it." A zip file includes a directory that lets you go straight to the desired file and just uncompress the bits that you need. On a big archive, that can be a huge performance boost.
Anecdotal evidence is not worthwhile. Until the PRC lets independent economists look at their economy, instead of locking them in cells for "stealing state secrets," there's absolutely no reason to believe them.
Hell, we're still awaiting real figures on the death toll from the Great Leap Backward.
China economy, under the Communist regime, has had double digit economic growth rates for a decade.
No. China's officially reported economic numbers show double digit growth. They won't let independent economists look at the data, so we really have no idea what the growth rate was, except that it was probably positive.
Do not believe anything released by the PRC government. They have a more interesting relationship with the truth than either Slick Willie or Dumbya, and that's saying something.
Now they got the very, very annoying search dog in XP that I can't get rid of.
Unless your system is locked down, click on "Change my preferences" in the Search Pane and choose "Without an animated character." I did that so long ago that I hardly remember that the dog was there in the first place.
"But Mr. Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months."
"Oh yes, well, as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn't exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them, had you? I mean, like actually telling anybody or anything."
"But the plans were on display..."
"On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them."
"That's the display department."
"With a flashlight."
"Ah, well, the lights had probably gone."
"So had the stairs."
"But look, you found the notice, didn't you?"
"Yes," said Arthur, "yes I did. It was on display on the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard.'
It depends on how much of the Post Office is tied up in fixed costs. Unfortunately, much of the Post Office's expenses are fixed. Carriers can only cover so much distance, and a small post office still needs to be staffed, even if the mail volume drops by 50%.
The orignal poster is correct. Bulk mail is about the only thing keeping the price of a First Class stamp under $2.00.
State Universities won't fight this. In case you haven't noticed, the economy's in the shitter and state legislatures are looking for places to cut. Getting the uni involved in a big, expensive public lawsuit is not a good way to keep the legislature off of their backs. They will comply. If they don't feel like it, a few nasty calls to the chancellor from the govenor's office will fix that.
Plus, they can use this as an excuse to cut back on bandwith purchases and save a few bucks. They'll get way fewer complaints than if they cut back on perks for the football team.
You know, I keep hearing this about NWN, but it runs just fine on my machines, and there have been regular patches. It looks like the next one is even adding content. I know that some people have a problem with stuttering, which is serious, but I've not encountered that problem myself.
From my perusal of the NWN boards it seems that the biggest complaints are the stuttering and the fact that you can't enable "shiny water" on ATI video cards. Version 1.24 did introduce a small bug in one of the Act II Quests in the single player game as well.
Compared to the festering piles of crap that were Pool of Radiance and Ultima IX, it seems NWN is OK, but don't let that slow you down. I'm sure that there will be a bug or two in Doom III that will let you justify pirating it as well.
Now they might be able to convince a judge that the only reason to have a mod chip is to play pirated games, therefore robbing Microsoft of their money. But with the porting of Linux, it proves that there are non-illegal reasons to want to buy a mod chip.
Yeah, just like the judge decided that since DeCSS was necessary to play DVDs on Linux, it's OK to distribute it.
Photo prints from today will have faded. I have color prints from less than 30 years ago that are starting to go, despite their being stored in a cool, dry place.
I understand that prints stored in a pure Argon atmosphere do all right, but there aren't many "accidental" discoveries under those circumstances.
Several of the thermal dye-subs produce output as good as platinum prints. Those printers aren't consumer level, yet. Given enough demand, they will be.
As far as archival quality goes, digital blows film out of the water. It's hard to back film up to a tape on another continent without leaving your recliner. You can do that with digital.
Maybe you think the quality isn't good enough for fine analysis and enlargement? My dad just had surgery, and there's not even a darkroom in the hospital anymore. They're 100% digital.
Film isn't going the route of vinyl. It's headed in the same direction as 8-tracks and 45 RPM singles.
I'd bet on it. At this level, the really good references consist of your fraternity brothers from back in the day. The relevant background is which country club you belong to.
This is the way executive hiring works. They'd rather have someone that they're comfortable with.
I'll explain how this works. They are required to have the appearance that anyone with the right qualifications could get the job. Therefore, it is posted in public. In reality, they have a short list of candidates and/or recruiters that they will be going to. All of the stuff that comes in through Hotjobs will go straight to/dev/null.
When applying for a job at this level, who you know is 98.5% of the fight.

Or do you not apply the security patches?

Brits should do the same for Toledo, Ohio. You never want to end up there.
No, +1 Appropriate. After all the Objectivist motto is "I've got mine. Fuck the rest of you."
I'm afraid, you'll need more than that. Algebraic Topology makes my head hurt.
I was using the computer in Afghanistan to surf pr0n. Damn. I wasn't aware that there was an IP stack available for the Altair!
I'm guessing that it involves brown shirts and "citizens' militias."

Amen. Here I sit by the window in my office in downtown DC, watching my Sucks PCS phone going Searching For Service....
