Hmm, I know I can find a car stereo which plays MP3 CDs, USB flash, and SD cards, plus AUX input for that price: http://www.target.com/Player-USB-Port-Audio-Input/dp/B000FFEXEY but I was unaware that Pimp My Ride stereo systems were that inexpensive -- where can I find one!?
I think the GP's point was that the lack of assured pre-caching affected the level design (i.e. forced the creation of the elevators as an excuse for the game to sit there for a while and load the next level) -- "couldn't rely on pre-caching", not "couldn't use pre-caching even if it was available"
I partly agree, but it seems to me that it's merely a question of which gets done first, and how important it is. Most people would rather have a good email client and a good calendaring program (and a good web browser) than a crappy email client, crappy calendaring program, and crappy web browser that worked well together.
You see projects like freedesktop specifically dedicated to integration, but they started after all the good separate applications already existed.
That's not entirely true. On a Active Directory domain, it's possible for the domain administrators to publish apps (MSI files) out to their users, which can be installed through Add/Remove Programs. But I do agree that in the common case, add/remove cannot add programs.
I agree from the "feel" standpoint, but the plane should at least behave much like the real one. There's a nice fully-functional time-limited demo available even (it stops accepting control inputs after 5 minutes, but the sim continues working. You can even keep on flying by using an autopilot at that point, if you want...)
Sure it does. Just because the source code is basically output from/dev/urandom that eventually, through a genetic algorithm (heh) became our source code...doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
So the tech lied to his honey? Or was the problem incorrectly diagnosed at first and turned to be a hard drive instead of a power supply? And does the tech of the underwater data center fix the problem or just hide underwater until it goes away?
And if it can make infrared, it will according to some angles of incidence. Will it melt itself? Apparently you missed the bit where they mentioned that it's a reflective display. It doesn't produce light, only reflect it. So yes, if you shine an infrared light on it, it can reflect it. But it doesn't "make" infrared, and thus won't melt itself.

Not a valid comparison. Brushes and paint are to a painting as a computer and a compiler are to a compiled program.
One problem in this debate is that there is no physical analogue to source code in other media.

Now all they need to do is add weighted round robin queue selection, and I'll be totally happy.

I assume it's in the base install of Kubuntu, which is arguably still "Ubuntu"
That sounds like a problem with Oracle, not with any Linux distro's indexing and package management.

Sounds like they're talking about Formula 1 here, not NASCAR or Indy racing. So no oval tracks.
You fail, please try again
Try a real flight sim, instead of a game.
Shift+Del is for cut. I don't think Ctrl+Del does anything.
Sure it does. Just because the source code is basically output from /dev/urandom that eventually, through a genetic algorithm (heh) became our source code...doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

I must hear more of this story!
Shutdown is always the bottom option, no matter where your taskbar is.
the ultra-cheap fringe case has a price premium? How does that work?
You obviously haven't seen Pirates then.
You quoted it yourself:
"Scott sought to create a paper record of human speech that could later be deciphered."
deciphering a record of human speech....hmm...sounds like playing it back to me.
No it doesn't. "zero" is a valid answer. Also, it's given from the beginning that the man is a man; you just can't necessarily call him that.
In fact since the question calls him a man before any answer can even be given, I think the answer *must* be zero.
Doesn't "(Myspace|Facebook)" fall under "Firefox"?
Maybe the problem was that they were trying to run a Wii, DS, PS2, or PSP game on their PC? Or did you mean The Sims: Castaway Stories
Where will I find a really REALLY nice bike for $45?
Seriously, I already do this most of the time. (bike-commuting). But even when I wasn't, my monthly gasoline costs were only about $65.
Obviously payroll is something you can get wrong. Did you not read the original article?
So cancel the residential cable TV subscription.
