That's either a self-fulfilling prophesy or a self-negating prophesy, depending upon whether those who read the above suggestion think it is funny or not. If even 0.001 percent of/. readers think it is funny then the server will be buried with submissions.
Of course, whether or not one is first is dependent upon your interpretation of your timezone time and of how well/. time code is working by then.
How can it be a fault if one OS does not support something which has no equivalent in another OS?
Once upon a time, DOS had no subdirectories, only top-level directories. So what should or could happen if a program on DOS tried to reference a directory which was not at the top level? Is it a failure in DOS or in the program? (Eventually, MS announced that they copied a feature of UNIX which allowed directories within directories...)
Now, if an OS has a "must-write" mode, which requires that a file must be written to if it is opened, whose fault is it if another OS does not support that capability? You can't blame an orange for not tasting like an apple.
OK, pick an application and convert it to use an XML configuration file. Make an XML configuration program for it. See if the owner accepts your patch. Then try another application.
I don't happen to be working with such an application at the moment, but I am enhancing some Linux documentation with XML-type labels. Not that it will be directly visible, as it will only be used in producing other documentation. But you can just pick a corner you like and start painting.
Losing memory on a motherboard is a little different than losing data on a motherboard. I prefer the article's reference to losing data to the original/. phrasing.
Have you ever experimented with a big mass of water in a bathtub or pool? We're much stronger than surface tension. Even if you only tread water against 1G, imagine how quickly that force will move you when you're pushing against the inertia of a big ball of water. Dive into the big bubble in the middle of the water park and swim to the outside when you need to take a breath.
Unfortunately you won't be able to idly float on your back without gravity. On the other hand, there are creative ways to move around the surface of the sphere. But doing the butterfly stroke is hard without doing the proper leg kick to keep you in the water.
Several of those are mentioned in the links mentioned above, such as SpaceFuture's Sport Page. Table tennis is an interesting idea. Elsewhere on their Activities page they also suggest playing with water.
Imagine a zero-G water park...fountain jets, water balls floating around, coriolis fountains, sheets of water sweeping across broadside, people surfing a rotating fountain...and oversize foot fins for flapping at the air...
Hey, Independent Institute changed their statement. Their fact #1 earlier said that their financial system had crashed and corrupted files. They were recovering them. Now it only refers to preliminary figures.

He mentioned file transfer in his request, so Perl's Expect.pm is the best tool. His perl script can do any necessary directory examination and manipulation as well as the comm activity.
The Independent Institute reply also claims that the stolen info is wrong because their financial computer crashed and destroyed files. I wish they had mentioned what operating system it was using...
Read the book version of 2001. That part of the movie works better in print. Both because the special effects of the time were not up to the task of hyperspace travel, and because having that segment could have used a narrator explaining things. Beyond our comprehension as they may be.
Of course, the movie version shows dancing spaceships better.
There was also a recent report that scientists drilled through a virgin rock shield off Norway, where there should be no oil, and found oil. That rock did not form over any old surface rocks, so the oil must have come from deep in the crust.
That is called a "proximity sensor". Sonar uses sound. Coarsely detecting that something is nearby is a proximity sensor. Using light to measure distances is rangefinding. Using your own light beam to measure distance and direction is lidar. Using light from another source is photography.

I love hearing from a Havoc Penguin. :-)

Well, this address by President Hilton discusses the company's looking at space...in 1967. No $/kilo mentioned.
You can't eliminate guns. They're too easy to make. You never heard of a "zip gun"?
But how much Velcro is needed on a Zero-G robe?
A few days after you said this, MS did buy Softway Systems and its Interix.

OK, so when they establish their colony they should require that the managers/board members live in it...

Nevertheless, we can convert carbon waste into fuels with a little energy.
But Floyd winds are 117% of NASA shuttle hangar strength. Keep watching the skies...

There are also other devices which could be used for position sensing, such as wireless joysticks or electronic whiteboard devices.
The link in this comment mentions that the problem was actually IR interference. No mention whether it was intentional.
