What's really funny is that I have an Intel propoganda book for the "brand new 80386." It spends two whole chapters talking about how the 386 is the perfect CPU for LAN servers. Of course, it also had to spend almost that much space describing what a LAN is and what a server might do, since very few people had ever heard of a LAN at that point, much less had one.
The way I was thinking, once the Empire is established, the need for such a huge, elite force isn't as great. So the clones become the Special Forces types, and the ranks are filled out by green recruits from the worlds the Empire controls. Remember how Luke was talking about joining the Imperial Academy and becoming a fighter pilot at the beginning of the Ep 4 ?
Great, thanks. Now I'll never be able to hear the Imperal March again without also hearing Geddy Lee sing "Take Off! To the great white north! Take Off! It's a beauty way to go."
Did you even try? You didn't notice the big "Launch Feedback" section in the Control Center? I'll agree that that stuff should not be on by default, but there is almost nothing that cannot be turned off or customized if you bother try.
More imporantly, what is the relationship between skipjack and valhalla? Red Hat codenames have been linked by double meanings since the 3.0.3 release (Picasso).
Solar sails aren't necessarily slow. Current space probes have no onboard main engines, just attitude jets, sometimes a braking engine. They leave earth with a big push, but after that they only way they can accelerate is with gravity slingshots. And it still takes them years to get anywhere. Cassini was launched in what, 1997, and it still hasn't made it to Saturn yet.
Solar sails (and ion engines) will also get a big push off from earth, will also be able to gravity-well slingshot. And they will also be able to accelerate continuously while en-route. They will be much, much faster than the current probes.
Just for future reference, you can't kill a zombie process, no matter what application creates it. A zombie isn't actually running, or consuming any resource beyond the process table entry - its executable has been unmapped, its file descriptors closed, and its memory returned to the system. It's only purpose at that point is hold the exit status until its parent process examines it. And, a zombie will never be left behind when the parent process exits, as they will be inherited by init, which will reap them immediately.
A programing keeping many zombies around is bad ettiquite for sure, but not really a problem.
What do you mean by recover? Is the drive damaged or just unreadable because you don't have anything that understands FFS?
If the later is true, Linux can read Amiga file systems very well. Before I retired my A500, I mounted the drive (80MB Connor:) on my Linux box and archived everything.
I dunno, I still think being a beta tester for even a bad game would still beat the crap out of being, say, a shoveler in a uranium mine or a carcinogen tester at Phillip Morris.
Well, that's the problem. After the CDBTPA passes, there will be no non-commercial artists. Most of the tools a an artist would need to record and distribute their music electronically will be contraband. And the software their prospective listeners would need to listen to them will be illegal as well. Same with independant filmmakers. Of course, this is what the powers behind the bill want. It effectively installs the RIAA and MPAA as our entertainment police - they will have the final say on what music we are allowed to listen to and which movies we are allowed to watch.

Where do you come up with one in a billion? The supernova was observed by astronomers, and even in 1181 AD, they could
easily have recorded the region of sky where the event occured. Now if you search the same region even 800 years later, you'll only find a very small number of objects that could possibly be the remnants of a supernova. I'd say that if you find a compact star right where some 800 year old account placed a suprenova, the odds of them being related are much, much higher than one in a billion.
Don't expire, just start logging messages when the software has reach some predetermined age. Like, once a build gets to be a year or year and a half old, start logging a message to syslog ("Yo sysadmin, I'm kind of old. There might be updates. Look into it.") about once a week.
You mean dual-host SCSI and Parallel port Zip Drive, the one that tried to talk both from the same connector. The SCSI-only version didn't have that problem, it had some others though.
Yes, the GPS signals are cryptographically signed. It's a feature of the system called Anti-Spoofing (AS). However, it won't do this piece of shit any good because the keys required to authenticate the signal are considered classified data, and only available to the military and a select few others.
And it's not like GPS simulators don't exist, either.

That can not be correct. The XColor structure, which is used all over the Xlib API for communicating color values is 16 bits per gun, 48 bits total.

Yeah, they only run that show about every other week.

The act of recording your tune and distributing it wouldn't be illegal, per se. But posessing the software and hardware to do it would be.

So, all this methane and ethane is going to start oxidizing with what, exactly?
You do realize that the "R" in "ARM" stands for RISC, right? You know, "Advanced RISC Machines"?
I wish they'd make an MMORPG based on Grand Theft Auto 3. Now that would be a blast.
If you have to ask the question you will never understand the answer.

Just an idea.
That's why they invented the 'MUTE' button.
