The Linux version has some performance problems that the developers are actively trying to track down. They've put out a call for help on Reddit for any users that have reproducible problems. http://www.reddit.com/r/Cities...
This number is higher then a number for the general population. I think it has to do with those who would harm the children actively seeking out avenues to be exposed to them.
I think it has more to do with the future pedophile priest realising his inclinations and joining the priesthood with the hope and expectation that his vow of celibacy to God will prevent him from acting upon his illegal lusts. Thus I expect the priesthood would attract potential pedophiles, not so they could freely exercise their perversion, but so they could renounce sex and live a sin-free life. Of course celibacy is an extremely difficult vow to keep and flesh is weak. leading to priestly perversion upon children
> Ah, fuck it. Go mangle the English language. I'll be curled up in bed, sucking on my language-nazi thumb.
Under the flourescent lights, no doubt. Some might say that your a looser! Their wrong, in a worser way than normal. You're comment inspires they're ire but you can likely find the compliment to it in any forum these days. It's pandemic.
Phew,I'm glad to have that out of my system.:-)
For the wannabe language-nazis: It's fluor, not flour. A fluorescent lamp is coated with a fluor.
"Your" is possessive. "You're" is contraction of "you are", i.e. Your belt might be loose or looser. But you're probably going to be a loser if you gamble in Lost Wages.
Worser is not a word. Never has and I hope it never is. Things go from bad to worse to worst.
Their/they're/there: "Their" is possesive, i.e. Their car is green. "They're" is a contraction of "they are", i.e. They're there already.
A compliment is a nice thing said about you: "You look marvelous" is a compliment. A complement is a match or counterpart (in the literal sense) for something. A Philips screwdriver and screw complement each other. Or it refers to a roster: The platoon is at full complement.
"It's" is contraction of "it is". Its wrong to use it's in any other way.
>It's not about the government telling someone what business they can or cannot run, it's about this person selling pills which are claimed to be the real thing. In other words, he was selling placebos and not telling people these weren't the real thing.
If all he were selling were placebos, at least they'd be innocous and the suckers who bought them would only be hurt in their wallets. More likely he was selling phony Chinese knock-offs that would be totally unregulated and, considering the recent information about the quality of Chinese goods intended for consumption, probably outright poisonous. I doubt these on-line "pharmacists" consider themselves bound by the Hippocratic Oath.
> As an aside, I forgot to mention that there are NO other products other than VMWare ESX that offer "live migration" of a running VM from one hardware host to another. That's right... you can take a VM that is running with many users actively using it and move it from one physical box to another with only a few milliseconds down time. The users NEVER notice. The free VMWare server can't do that. Micrsoft's Virtual Server can't do that until they have a hypervisor. And there really isn't anything else that can.
Hmm, the Virtuozzo servers I administer actually do that rather well. Virtuozzo has had live migration capability (and dynamic resource allocation) for quite a while now.
> I mean, for Christ's sake, people. Is there a limit to how ridiculous you can get?
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a primeval rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree... yeah, makes perfect sense.
Does anyone else think that Bruce Perens is becoming an irrelevant also-ran? It seems to me that he's better known for starting projects in a flurry of publicity that wind up as vaporware (User Linux anyone?)
So now he has the role of pundit, sniping at others from the sideline.

Then it is incumbent upon the ISP to detect that such crap is coming from their network and to firewall off such hosts. As soon as people realise that their pirated software is the problem, they will be incented to go legit.
It strikes me that ISPs should be responsible for malware/spam coming from their networks in the same manner that a telco is responsible for obscene phone calls coming from their network, i.e. perhaps not legally liable (common carrier) but incumbered to deal with the problem appropriately.
> It's not like you were the only one to grow up. > Beethoven did it, too. Did you ever listen to Beethoven's late string quartets? > They're legendary and noone in their right mind could call them "pompous", "whiny" or "annoying".
Unfortunately, recommending "late string quartets" assumes a familiarity with Beethoven's body of music that the receipient knows what is early, what is late and what is encompassed by "late string quartets".
Would someone knowledgable please tell me specifically which pieces are in the group of "late string quartets" so that I know what I'm looking for?
It will be aimed at the hardware reviewers. The resurrection of SLI will get back Nvidia's ranking as Number 1 for high performance video. I would imagine a few gamers with more money than they need will also setup a dual Nvidia system but the primary audience will be those who publicise performance ratings.
> The tissue destined to make up the labia minor,
labia major, and vaginal canal on a woman becomes, on a man, the shaft of the penis.
The homologous (i.e same) tissue as the labia majora of females becomes the scrotal sac in males. Remember back when you were a young kid and you had a big ridge going down the mid-line of your sac? That was the fusion line of the two "lips".
>With built-in IDE, USB, sound, ethernet, and video, what do you need a PCI slot for? And considering the trend micro-ATX boards took, you can expect to see dual or quad ethernet and SCSI support within a few months.
I'd need a PCI slot for a Hauppauge PVR-350 card for a MythTV (http://www.mythtv.org). Small size, no fan, this board would be great otherwise for building a PVR.
> Im sure it still has IE tho, since they wont let you use windowsupdate with Firebird.
It's even more restrictive than that! I tried to connect to Windows Update with Mozilla. Not only do they require you to use IE but they insisted that "You must be running a Microsoft Windows operating system in order to use Windows Update.":-)
But would the DRM rights belong to MS or to the author of the Word file? What happens when a DRM protected MS Word file is reverse-engineered if MS tries to prosecute but the author of the file has no problem with others reading it? At what level does DRM apply?
I enjoyed reading that post. However the statement: "The GPL is the legal manifestation of the idea that it is wrong to take free work and sell it." is incorrect.
I think a better way to put it would be:
The GPL is the legal manifestation of the idea that it is wrong to take free work and proprietorize it.

Time to get myself an GOG account... Even AC is available there!
And it works great with WINE.
So what happens if you're using an SSD drive? I wonder how much that behaviour would shorten the SSD's life span.

Yes, they were all sold to residents of Lake Woebegon.

By watching the efforts of MS to get respect for Vista, of course!
Schadenfreude is the least noble of human emotions. And one of the most enjoyable.

Once broadband service is fast enough, it'll be a quick:
/var/mythtv/recordings
mount -t nfs gdrive.google.com:/my_gdrive
And I'll never have to delete a show again! Whee!
Actually, I call it the 3PL. :-)

You're new around here, aren't you?
Such a move, as we in science term it, is a bad move. :-)

It will be aimed at the hardware reviewers. The resurrection of SLI will get back Nvidia's ranking as Number 1 for high performance video.

I guess I'd like to know their take on their relevance. Given their seeming betrayal of community values, why should we care if they survive?
