Slightly different issue.
The foam debris was SIB (Self-Induced B.S.), compounded by the fossilization of NASA, as the engineers devolved into bureaucrats.
Something are as ugly, but what is uglier than an I-told-you-so written in human blood and debris across a continent?
These orbital objects are like software bugs in that you know they exist, but unlike software bugs in that there is no possibility of a re-boot. So you need good 'exception handling'.
>genkernel --menuconfig at least offers the appearance of making things easier.
You still have to know your hardware cold, at a low level.
And, yeah, you can certainly do the same with other distros.
However, I think it's fair to say that Gentoo facilitates the task better, relative to other offerings (that I have tried, mainly Fedora).
No one wants to mess with a new kernel until it's stable.
The ALSA drivers were held up as an example of something that worked until it hit userland, and suddenly, ALSA was salsa on Thinkpads.
The marketing question *gasp* becomes, How do we entice users into compiling and testing on broader architectures?
Actually, Gentoo, for one, at least makes it semi-manageable to have a fistful of kernels--I may actually emerge something for fun.
(The agony of getting my 11g with WEP and nVidia all configured has been non-trivial. I still have to become root briefly and run a script when I boot, as I haven't fully grokked the 'right' way to set all of these parameters).
Nothing fosters more contempt for the law then traffic laws.
Not so!
More contempt for the law is fostered when you see a police cruiser blow by, clearly not engaged in hot pursuit of anyone, yet beating the posted speed limit by ~20%.
Of course, that's trivial in comparison to the hypocrisy of the government at large, (see 'accounting') but your comment seemed limited to practical scopes, so let's not go there...

In your opinion, how does hip-hop differentiate between characterizing a problem, with an eye towards debugging, and glorifying the problem?
Now, you're clearly a big star, or you wouldn't be on/., so you've made money (is there another metric?): will you do anything unexpected? Challenging? The first rap symphony?
Verily, there is as much salvation to be had from Firefox and Google as there was from...let's see:

xml is an interchange format
Then why are these JavaJocks using it for a build system (Ant) as well as, along with reflection, to build half the object model in their J2EE app servers (Tomcat, et. al.)?
Doing smallish amount of app configuration (Subversion) in XML doesn't sound like a horrible idea, but the fundamental concept of platform-agnostic data representation is long since flushed down ye olde marketing toilet.
My point was that I find the government dictating which piece of plastic you use in your name to be a little wierd.
Historically, I believe the government issued cards to employees, who partied like rock stars, and then defaulted. Putting the actual employees name on the card was supposed to increase accountability. Of government employees. Oh, wait...
I thought they were really kinda smart, cutting the deal to force all US Gubmint people to use their cards for travel.
My question is, why the conflict of interest, requiring all employees to use a single credit card provider?
Why cannot this bogus thinking be applied such that everyone has to use the same bank, in addition to credit card provider?
In defense of the policy, you get that swell logo that tells the airline or hotel to give you the government rate. Whoopee. Why can't other credentials suffice? Fraud, you say? Look, if you can't trust yo' peeps, get new peeps, say I.
Oh, and I am a squid. Go, Navy!
You mean that we should not strain after a redundant temporary object gnat and swallow a network socket camel?

Note the development judo at work; MS diverts attention from useful work by merely hinting at what it might do.
How much useful stuff goes undone as a result?
