You should read "The Pragmatic Programmer"? One of their tips is "Don't live with broken windows" (bad designs, wrong decisions, or poor code). When some part of your software is broken/bad it is easy to get into the mindset that all of the surrounding code is just as crappy.
Look it up on Google, there are lots of websites discussing this.
The lightsaber scene between the two lead females just didn't feel right.
Yes, I would recommend them to take some sword lessons by professional sword actors. Make it look like you are first trying to find the weak spots. Lightsaber fights are supposed to be a delicate sport, try to start gracefull. When someone 'needs to be finished' you can always notch up the speed towards the end. Ask the sword actors what are hints of failure, weave them in the scene.
AFAIK lightsabers are supposed to have more of an air drag than weight. Maybe the sword models can compensate for that so the movements will start to feel 'right'.
"The second basic pattern that Bion detailed: The identification and vilification of external enemies. This is a very common pattern. Anyone who was around the Open Source movement in the mid-Nineties could see this all the time. If you cared about Linux on the desktop, there was a big list of jobs to do. But you could always instead get a conversation going about Microsoft and Bill Gates. And people would start bleeding from their ears, they would get so mad.
If you want to make it better, there's a list of things to do. It's Open Source, right? Just fix it. "No, no, Microsoft and Bill Gates grrrrr...", the froth would start coming out. The external enemy -- nothing causes a group to galvanize like an external enemy.
So even if someone isn't really your enemy, identifying them as an enemy can cause a pleasant sense of group cohesion. And groups often gravitate towards members who are the most paranoid and make them leaders, because those are the people who are best at identifying external enemies."
Ehm, wouldn't this be related to the I/O elevator you use? The deadline elevator is known to choke on multiple transfers. You could try CFQ (Completely Fair Queueing), though I don't know how well that works on RAID other than RAID0 and RAID1.
For windows NT 4.0 and up there is Buzzsaw from http://www.dirms.com/. It does on the fly defragmentation in the background when the file has been accessed.
had networking added as an afterwards but before security was understood to be an issue, then has had security issues patched over the years as they arose.
I beg you pardon? UNIX has gone to most of the same mishmash with network based infection vectors as Windows does now, in the 80's.

Hmm, you draw conclusions too fast. It would be more appropriate to know who makes the agenda. Or did they all vote together to make it an "A item" on monday?
They are used to fear and terror and will be distrustful of your attempts to get work done. A few can defend against rogue attempts to illicit secure information, but most will just be jerks about it and everybody hurts.
Both the Russians and the Americans say they never did such experiments, but for 2 x 20 million dollars, 8 months training -and of course a cooperative partner- you could try it yourself.
If you just meant a flying verhicle you could go cheaper btw.
I'm using a Tablet PC. Heck I'm even using "ink" to write this. But boy it does BSOD. Several times per month. It has an Intel board with Intel everything, so you ought to think it would work. Latest drivers and everything.
May I ask if you sent in bugreports to at least one of these distro's or LiveCDs? The people who maintain them don't have every piece hardware that exists on their desk.
Filing a bugreport is mostly rather painless. There are real people on the other side. Who will guide you through getting the necessairy info out of your hardware to decide if the hardware detection is at fault or that the hardware is really unsupported. More people should know this, under Windows you rarely have the posibility to talk with the driver maintainers.
Plus you haven't mentioned what hardware you tried to run it on. This could in hindsight reveal what happened. I'm sorry, but I don't see any verifiable facts of the problems you mention in your story. Now you could just be some troll that want to give Linux a bad name.
Ehm, though not exactly "SpeedStep(TM)" all Pentium4s can be throttled by software. My MythTV system -running a Celeron 2.4GHz- drops to 300MHz when idle. Support for this has been in the Linux kernel for some time now, though not that long. It is called "Intel Pentium 4 clock modulation".
Basicly you set an upper bound to the hardware throttling built into the Pentium 4.
You know, the difference is that this program uses Semantic Web standards (XML/XSL, RDF(S), OWL and rules). So if everything goes alright, more and more people will use the underlying dataformats which will improve data interchange between programs like these.
The program you saw years ago was probably based upon some proprietary format.
Don't get me wrong, I also don't see "the semantic web" happening overnigh. But getting people to use more standard data interchange formats, can only be a good thing to do. (So they are able to write applications that can do nifty things together)

"Reading you should practice, getting it right you will some day." ;)
"We want" both. There are so many groups, and so many individuals who all use Linux. There is room for both.
I hope you can understand that.
You should read a bit on group behaviour.

Hmm, the manufacterers website (http://novinit.fr/) has their lawyers listed above their investors. Go see for yourself.

Go karma whoring by reposting some of the "it's a hoax" replies.
..on Slashdot? and it proved to be a fake..
They used photoshopped images of the Apple Newton.
Well, there's Google, egg, sausage and Google. That's not got much Google in it.

Works like a charm.

Yeah and have the windows flip in and out the screen visibly everything you switch 'desktops'.
No thanks.

More on this subject: A Group Is Its Own Worst Enemy. It's about how groups and individuals work. A good read actually.

Just FYI, the ebuild in Gentoo portage already patches the driver with all of these.
Now go mod me -2 Flamebait for mentioning Gentoo.
What! So you say they forgot it install it? I hope you know what that means :-P
