Sorry Mr. Anonymous, the "only really obvious thing that could be a problem anymore" is the fact that it's a pre-release kernel.
Sorry, not everybody is running Linux as a toy. There is a reason that people use Debian Potato. There is a reason where there are many 2.0.x and 2.2.x servers out there.
Remember the 2.4 vm fiasco? That was supposedly a finished kernel.
No thank you. Perhaps when 2.6/3.0 comes out, I'll consider it. Until then...
You are probably correct. But what I was pointing out is that there is a framework to allow such things to happen.
(personally, I'd like to see the Koreans, Taiwanese, Chinese, Germans, and Canadians put a trade embargo on the US to get... Oh, really anyone... extradited:)
If you honestly think the US government wouldn't turn over a citizen, you are the one being naive. The fact remains that there is a structure, and without knowledge of the exact treaty between the US and ZA, you don't know if the US would extradite the person.
Suppose a serial killer got to South Africa? It's very common to bend treaties and ideas and have a mutual extradition.
It depends wholly on the nature of the treaty. Different ones exist between different countries. For example, if someone commits murder in the US, there is a good chance the Canadians will return the person. But the Israelis won't. Just an example, but it varies.
There are these things called 'extradition treaties'. I have no idea what the nature of one (if any) between {US|CA|UK|DE|etc.} and SA is, but it might exist.
"Every big computing disaster has come from taking too many ideas and putting them in one place, and the Itanium is exactly that," said Gordon Bell, a veteran computer designer and a Microsoft researcher.
He's absolutely correct. The most intelligent thing to do is to make insignificant, incremental changes, and charge customers full price for each of them.
(Okay, to the dense amongst the moderators. Parent asked about making a bed with hospital corners. What he's implying is that 'Universal has made their bed; now they must lie in it'. To which I make the funny comment... Christ, if you haven't figured it out by now, just mod me -1, offtopic already)
Search for it on Gnucleus (or whatever network it uses). You'll find at least one copy, ripped with EAC and encoded with Lame v3.92 (?) in VBR level 8 (or 2. Whichever is one step from highest quality).
You will also find a copy of 'The Motorcycle Song' and other Arlo Guthrie favorites.
BTW, I have NO idea who the scumsucker is who would do something like that. None at all.
I thought Congress (or at least their staffers) were quite guilty of using P2P networks. What happens when the Capitol building and the connected offices get DOS'ed?
I'd pay to see the smackdown put on the RIAA in that event.
I was actually referring to motorcycle and F1 motors. I'm not sure why the author thought we should be impressed with RPMs. FWIW, given the amount of mass that has to change direction, I'm far MORE impressed with 2 liter engines that hit 18000 RPM.
I was thinking of the modified motors WRT the 540's. My bad.
Haven't seen a top fuel engine in a mini cooper, but I have seen a 454 in a Nash Met.
A 16,000 RPM motor just isn't that much. I remember many 540 type motors pulling more RPM's about 15 years ago. I'm sure they're over 30k these days. In addition, there are plenty of gas powered engines that go well over 16k.
You missed two important cost factors that GM has to deal with the MS doesn't:
1) Government regulations, from crash worthiness to emissions to safety devices.
2) Liability. If GM sells you a POS that explodes on impact, they will have to pay you (even if the explosion only occurs when NBC tapes dynamite to the fuel tank). If MS sells you a POS, YOU have to buy the new, fixed version.
Indie beer is what I make on my stove. What people in my brew club brew in their turkey fryers. I am free from market concerns and pressures. A microbrewery is not.

What do you need paper for? I thought the clamshells replaced it?

Thanks for the link. Thin on details, but at least we know there is one.

I don't know. I've spent so much time looking at her genitals, I bet I could pick 'em out in a lineup.
Amen. My wife used a 17" monitor at 80x24 (characters:) for several years before losing sight completely.
Don't underestimate the power of the command line.

The joke is on the Chinese! MS doesn't pay any taxes, so they aren't hurting anyone by not buying MS operating systems.
The story also went that ca. 1988, Bush Sr. had never seen a bar code scanner at a grocery store.
The resume is in the mail...
Actually, I think they short sheeted themselves.

Like this one?
Thanks. You just saved me $150.
I sorta suspected it.

To paraphrase "Barbershop", she just 'sat on her big black ass'.
I don't know what Jesse Jackson and the New York Pimp (Al Sharpton, paragon of truth and virtue) are all up in arms about.
(Blah, blah, offtopic, bite me.)
Stupid screwed up link from previous post now fixed:
This is the silver bullet she really needs.

Now we know how he had the time for all of this. (Hint: the soap is right near the hand cream you no doubt use by the bucketful)
