> GM will be producing SUVs which *can* fit entire farms
They're starting with the Ford Titanic next year, followed by the Ford Continent the year after, incorporating all the know-how gained from the Ford Expedition, Excursion and Volvo Heavy Truck division.
Right....
You do realize that that's like saying Dell's new Dimension is based on the know-how from designing and manufacturing the TiBook, iBook, and G4 Cube, right?
GM nameplates (that I know of, could be incomplete):
Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile (RIP), Pontiac, Chevrolet, GMC, Saturn, Saab, Suzuki, Isuzu, Daewoo, Opel, Vauxhall, Holden, Hummer, plus (I think): Fiat and Alfa Romeo
Ford nameplates (same disclaimer as above):
Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda, Jaguar, Volvo, Aston Martin
And, for good measure, DaimlerChrysler's nameplates
Mercedes Benz, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Mitsubishi
Volkswagen:
VW, Skoda, Seat
Toyota:
Toyota, Lexus
Hyundai:
Hyundai, Kia
BMW
BMW, Rover, Rolls Royce
Renault:
Renault, Nissan, some Brazilian nameplate whose name escapes me
That would be the same Sting who featured in an ad (in the UK at least) for a Jaguar car (probably around 5 miles to the gallon) that had leather seats and a rare wood (mahogany?) dashboard... Yeah, right on, Sting:)
The ads were shown in the US. I can't imagine that particular car getting less than 15 mpg.
If they are going to change our contrat in the middle of the game, I should be able to declare it void and demand a refund of my payments. Otherwise, it is unfair.
Unfortunately, your contract with the University (as far as tuition goes and so forth) is on a semester-by-semester basis. So the most you could do is withdraw from the university and get a refund of your tuition for that semester (subject to any refund fees specified in the contract).
It was much easier nailing script kiddies at their university when they were doing everything from their PC's instead of bouncing from a dozen hax0rd Korean servers... Nowadays you actually have to do some real research. The good thing is that by the time you do get all of that research done, you have a mountain of evidence and involvement from other ISP's (and perhaps governments). Universities tend to do a little more against those students when presented with this kind of research and contacts than if someone just sends an e-mail with IDS logs..:)
I've had no problems with reporting Code Red/Nimda'd machines on UMass' network. Of course, it helps that I don't send email to abuse@ but to a known contact at OIT with the power to take action.
I'm sick and fucking tired of the retards who run P2P filesharing software on my University's network. Thanks to them, during the first and last two weeks of each semester, I see my bandwidth get killed (which I use for legitimate purposes, downloading source tarballs, ISOs of Linux distributions, and so forth). Everytime I see some moron running KaZaA, It is all I can do to avoid purchasing a lethal weapon and killing them.
its only masked because we are in a feeature freazee pendin the release of gentoo 1.4... The first distro fully optimized for gcc3.2 (currently we are at rc1 stage)
I doubt that.
Mandrake 9.0, which according to various sources within Mandrakesoft (specifically Warly, who is the guy who makes these decisions), will be released within two days of September 15, iow, within the next two days.
You also don't get many shots of the best man getting drunk, taking off his clothes, and offering to screw the bride. That's something I'm quite thankful for, actually.
I'm still slightly mystified as to why they provide(d) their own drivers as well
There's probably some subset of users that trusts Epson to write a better driver than GIMP-Print. Also, they may want to have Epson's neato dithering algorithms.
A sign that you're following a non-standard is that there are several "standards" to choose from. The W3C only has one standard, and if you notice "another", it's either an IE pitfall or something else.
You are a retard, dear sir.
The W3C specifies three standard versions of HTML 4.x (Strict, Transitional, and Frameset). These different versions have been carried over to XHTML 1.
Mandrake refuses to put any software that does not qualify as Free Software into their download edition. This includes configuration tools and the installer, all of which are GPL'd (work is being done by some to port the Mandrake tools to Debian, among other distros). Mandrake only makes non-Free software available on their retail boxes or to Club Members.
Depending on how the study defines Europe, Europe is either slightly larger or substantially larger (100+ million people) than North America. The real news is that it took this long for Europe to pass North America, serving to illustrate North America's head start.
All this may have changed yet again in the coming decades, thanks to demographic trends, as this article in the Economist illustrates.
Apache 2 is in Mandrake contribs (not really supported nor officially maintained), so if you buy the 9.0 ProSuite, it will be available. I am hearing talk from Mandrake that Apache 2 will be the default web server in Mandrake 9.1.
My apologies for the gratuitous distro flame. Many/most of the debian users I talk to (especially those who are still running potato), when I start talking about how great the latest GNOME/KDE/mozilla/XFree/kernel versions are essentially take the attitude of "so what, kernel 2.2.17 is working fine for me." From this, I deduce that debian users don't necessarily care about having the latest versions of software. I'm not knocking this mindset, but the vaunted stability of Debian has its counterpoints, and this is one of them. OTOH, I run Mandrake's development branch (Cooker being somewhere between Sid and Sarge), and get the latest and greatest (or only a few steps from the edge) versions and damn fine stability to boot... diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks.
That's interesting I used Mandrake's netatalk for a while and it worked perfectly. I'm kind of suprised Mandrake got a weird server right that Debian messed up.
And how old would the debian package in question be? For some things, a newer version of software will be better.
<RANT>
I'm getting sick of seeing Mandrake written off as a desktop distribution. When I think desktop distro, I think Lycoris, Lindows, or even SuSE (SuSE doesn't seem to really emphasize server use). Mandrake aims to be a sort of Win2k for Linux: graphical (though all the GUI config tools can be run in ncurses) and adept at both server and desktop roles. For evidence of this, consider that Mandrake's build of Apache (AdvancedExtranetServer) is the fastest growing webserver brand on the Internet.

Remember, the majority of MPAA execs are graduates of USC (and I'd guess that they're represented on the Board of Trustees).

Will Gentoo beat Mandrake to the punch?
But if you're GNU, someone wants you.

(en tea)
...a reclusive germ-phobic wacko who owns Las Vegas?
That would be the ultimate feature!
...will take advantage of this.
BTW, does anybody have the phone number of the researchers?
I'm the blind man... the above should be:
After all, only a blind man could like GNOME's U!
There's probably some subset of users that trusts Epson to write a better driver than GIMP-Print. Also, they may want to have Epson's neato dithering algorithms.
And after HP's dismissal of [the real] Bruce Perens, we're down to one.
No, it's a trap!

Have you tried urpmi?
Considering that Mandrake has a much stronger policy regarding Free Software than Red Hat, I find that interesting.
Either that, or IHBT.
