Errrrm, RHEL 4.3 shipped about a month ago or so. CentOS maintains straight number portability, meaning that when CentOS 3.7 ships, your analogy will be correct. CentOS is based on RHEL 4 Update 3.
What is it with people and their inability to learn from real world evidence? The UK and Canada are both current-day examples of the incredible travesties such single-payer systems visit upon the people consigned to their "care". Canadians are flocking to private insurance companies by the truckload in order to get healthcare in any reasonable amount of time while UK parents are struggling mightily to keep their children on life support because they are a "drain" on the system.
Disgusting. Single-payer gov't healthcare is a one-way ticket to atrocious healthcare for everyone, except for those rich enough to head elsewhere and pay for their own care.
The inventors of Ingres left the company formed around it when it was bought by Computer Associates and started developing the successor to Ingres, hence: Postgres. Make sense?
That's all well, good and idealistic of you, except it lacks grounding in reality. The point is, they are public now, meaning that it is incumbent upon them to maximize shareholder value under Federal law. That's part and parcel of going public - they're now legally beholden to your stockholders, whereas in the past, they could easily just say "Screw it, we're doing what we want." They have to care about stock price and do what they can to affect it because otherwise they're legally liable.
I, for one, question the timing of this "leak". GOOG has been taking an absolute bath on Wall Street due to their unwillingness to play by the Street's stupid quarterly projections "rules", plus their decision to settle that ClickFraud lawsuit for US $90 million. What better way to start getting investors hyped up again than by 1) leaking photos of an upcoming "killer app" and 2) buying an online word processor to finally confirm that they're trying to compete against Microsoft's Office hegemony.
Actually, joystick perfection was achieved with the NES Advantage.
I think you misspelled "NES Max" there.
Seriously, that has to be the best controller of the 8 bit generation - super easy on the hands and the turbo buttons actually let me come in first place in the swimming and running events in Track and Field II. Impossible to do without turbo, IMNSHO.
The difference between playing any of the first three SSX games on the PS2 and the Gamecube will easily highlight the need for the 4 shoulder buttons. IIRC, the first SSX release on the Gamecube actually had less tricks that one could perform because it lacked the requisite number of buttons to map to them.
Me, personally, I've loved both the DualShock 2 and the GC controller (Wavebird, in particular).
A huge part of making war in a modern context is signals intelligence (SIGINT). An army or a nation can grok how best to defend themselves against their enemies if they know what their enemies are planning.
I think the major issue facing the population of the US is a difference in mindset. President Bush and those who agree with him see the current world situation as one of war - the radical Islamists have stated their enmity openly and declared war on us. Thus, any actions that would be appropriate in a time of war are appropriate now. Those who disagree with Bush see the problem of Islamist terrorism as primarily a law enforcement matter, meaning that actions that would be reasonable in a time of war are not viewed as reasonable by this set.
I, personally, fall on the President's side. I believe the Islamo-fascists when they say they want to kill me and my entire family, neighbors, friends and coworkers simply because we're kaffirs living in Dar al Harb. I want the President taking the necessary step of surveiling our active stated enemies in order to have a shot at preventing the nutcases from taking another 9/11-esque shot at me and mine.
I don't see how it can be any other way, given the state of the world.
Your comment is correct, but incomplete in its analogy. Should you sell the fireworks and canes to said cultures with full knowledge of what they'll do with them? I'd say "Heck no".
Should I stop another culture from systematically sexually and physically abusing a minority group? Should I stop another culture from allowing slavery? Should I stop another culture from committing genocide?
The international community is giving you their answer in the form of Darfur. I'd say they're 100% in the wrong.
1. There's only so much of Lasseter's time to go around. I think one of the big benefits of him being restricted to Pixar was precisely that he didn't have to worry about all manner of marketing, distribution and theme park crap. If he has to pay attention to all those extra facets, something has to suffer (at least until we figure out how to switch to a 36 hour standard day...).
2. As long as he manages to help Disney avoid atrocities such as Bambi freakin' II ("The Love of a Father, the Courage of a Son". Shoot me now.), it'll be a net positive, IMNSHO.
I believe that the Narnia cycle is a peculiar beast, when mentioned in the context of the other books you brought up. Lewis' phraseology tends to be so direct and easy to read that the chapters fairly roll off one's tongue, while Tolkein, et. al., tend to be a more laborious task to read aloud.
I've always loved the Narnia books, but the leadup to this film was the first time that I've actually read them aloud (to my 2 month old son and wife, not that he will remember it, just practicing...). I was surprised by 1) how short the books actually are when taken individually and 2) what a talent Lewis had for constructing sentences that are clear, concise and yet thoroughly engaging.
For those not in the Philly area (or without satellite radio), Marty Moss-Coane (of "Radio Times" on the Philly NPR station) had a very interesting discussion on Lewis and his writing style last week. Well worth the hour's time to listen.
Part of what was sorely lacking in the film was the presence of a narrator. I understand that a narrator is a bit of a dated concept these days, but one of the charming "features" of the book was the fact that you, the reader, were essentially hearing this story second-hand from an unnamed but affable narrator with insight into the thought processes of the characters. The witty little asides that Lewis managed to slip in at places gave the whole thing a very British flavo[u]r, which I felt the movie essentially lacked.
Heh. That reminds me of the Dane Cook bit about implanting GPS trackers on your kids. He proposes also putting remote detonators in your kids, too, 'cause if you can't have your kids, NO ONE CAN! (sorry, Flash-heavy site)
Since it's built on top of OpenLDAP, yes, it obviously comes with ldapadd, ldapsearch and ldapmodify, just about all you need to accomplish the tasks you laid out above.
Their syntaxes are a bit confusing, but once you get them down, it's very easy to write cronjobs to populate the LDAP directory. If you're looking to migrate an existing userbase from NIS to LDAP, you should take a look at PADL's MigrationTools. Very useful, once you've hacked their shellscripts to match your environment.
Here's the problem: the FEC and Congress have been making noises about "in kind" contributions - i.e., ones that don't cost money but are of some perceived value. If the DailyKos links to a Democrat's campaign site, the FEC would like to claim that that is, in fact, a campaign contribution "in kind" because it will drive eyeballs to a candidate's site. Imagine the laws they'd put in place on this sort of contribution. Say, for instance, that I, a smalltime blogger, link to a candidate's site. I will drive, at most, a few tens or hundreds of eyeballs to that site per day with my endorsement. DKos gets hundreds of thousands of hits per day, meaning they could drive that many eyeballs to the candidate site of their choice. Now, obviously, a link from DKos (or Instapundit, Olliver Willis, Little Green Footballs, etc.) will be "worth" more than a link from my site, meaning that over the course of an election cycle, the FEC could conceivably limit DKos to a single link, whereas I could well post hundreds based upon the "in kind" "contribution" of a link.
It's pedantic, it's insane, and the whole McCain-Feingold piece of excrement should have been tossed out by the SCoTUS. Our only hope now is to fire Sen. McCain into space on a rocket-powered Barcalounger and then turn to the rest of the Congress and say "Who's next? Who else wants to limit my speech"?
Where did you come up with the notion that FC and RHEL are "binary incompatible"? I quite easily run FC3-compiled packages from Dag Wieers and Freshrpms on my RHEL4 desktop. Some (*ahem* Mplayer) take some tweaking to get running well, particularly if you've chosen to go the x86-64 route.
Please get the facts before you go off spouting nonsense like your "incompatible" fluff in the future.
If you haven't gotten the chance, you should also check out John Scalzi's (author of Old Man's War) Agent to the Stars which he originally released as a "shareware" novel online but has freed up in its entirety.
It's an entertaining story about a benign race of aliens that want to befried humanity. However, they look like giant globs of snot and communicate via a complex smell-based language, many of whose smells are thoroughly repulsive, if not completely nauseating to humans. In order to figure out how to introduce themselves to humanity, they hire Hollywood's hot new agent and, well, you'll just have to read the rest.
Each and every detainee at Camp X-Ray have received hearings in re: their status as enemy combatants. This has resulted in the release of several scores of former prisoners.
In fact, I'd say the release policies have been a bit too liberal, as ~10 former Gitmo prisoners were recently captured/killed in Iraq as they attempted to re-join the jiha.
