I'm not arguing against the fact that the words "krasny" and "krasivy" are sharing one root "kras". But that doesn't make them equal in the lexical sense - their meanings are completely different.
My point is that the grandparent thesis that "red" equals "beautiful" in the modern Russian language is wrong.
That's funny... my Russian textbooks say it's true. Well, technically the words themselves are different but they are derived from the same root "kras-"
It's not true for some hundred years already. Are your textbooks that old? Today "krasny" has only one meaning - "red", no beauty involved, period.
Though when reading an ancient text and encountering "krasna devica" (literally "red damsel"), a modern Russian can get the meaning, but more because this phrase is an idiom used widely in the Russian fairy tales than because he understands "krasny" == "beautiful".
Shanghai Telecom, which has 6.2 million landlines, plans to use Narus Inc.'s system to improve its ability to block "unauthorized" Internet calls that connect to its phone system, bypassing its toll structure.
Great to know that the same Big Brother software is being used in USA and China. Invokes some warm fuzzy feeling of union...
This one: http://www.usbgear.com/USBG-OTG1.html actually isn't USB HDD case, but kind of bridge for transferring files between USB mass storage devices.
A lot of similar devices popped up in recent months. And I really mean a lot. Maybe not all of them are powered by AA batteries, some have Li-Ion rechargable battery, some have bundled power adapter. I did a bit of research on this some time ago, here's list of already available devices (as opposed to the one from story, which will be available in mid Jan only):
Make your pick. But remember that some USB devices (like flash drives) are powered through USB port directly, so USB On-the-go host is supposed to provide power both for embedded hard drive and whatever you attach to it. Think about it when buying device powered by AA batteries - they may be not enough for some power-hungry USB appliances, microdrive-based "flash" drives are coming to mind here.
If you look at the dates of CVE advisories, you'll see this: Assigned (20040311) Assigned (20040615) Assigned (20040908) Assigned (20040722) ... Here you go, 7 months to fix shell vulnerability. They certainly took their time!

Doom 3 for Linux Released
·
· Score: 2, Informative
Copy-pasting my post from under the earlier story about Doom3 Linux release:
Using the same config (1280x1024, High settings, 8xAF, no AA, all effects on) on Athlon XP 1.4GHz/640mb RAM/GeForce FX 6800, timedemo demo1 precache: Win98se/Forceware 61.21: 30.1 fps Linux 2.6.7/NVidia drivers 61.11: 28.9 fps
So perfomance is very close, which probably attributes to slow CPU. One difference is that Windows Doom3 version is 1.0 - I didn't bother to download 1.1 and hack it to work in Win98 (shame on id for yielding to MS and dropping win98 support!).
On the other hand, I didn't bother to quit whole bunch of terminals and Mozilla and vicq and what not when running Linux version:)

Ok, I know some browsers other than Mozilla disguise as Mozilla/5.0, but their number should be really insignificant. And no, it's not very geeky site, it's a forum for R/C enthusiasts.
While phrases like "Experience the peace and quiet of this and that" are just your usual PR from tour firms, they just do not look appropriate to me in this particular case. Also, one have to wonder if having picnic at the radioactive site is really such a great idea?
Needless to say it opens some interesting possibilities. For example, whoever buys the most used terms first, gets all the traffic, exactly as with domain names some 10 years ago. Also, one can buy not-so-often used words like "scumbag" and link them to opponent's site:)
But seriously, I just hope the idea will sink itself as the traffic to affected sites will (hopefully) drop.
In his "Peace on Earth" (1987), Stanislaw Lem provides a view into nanotechnology possibilities and consequences, in his usual brilliant satiric style. It even contains an embedded essay - "The Upside-Down Evolution", which predicts a micro- and nano- directions in the evolution of warfare.
But his first insight of power of self-regulated networks of micro-robots is provided in his novel "The Invincible", written as early as in 1964.
Too bad that Lem is known in the USA mainly by Hollywood's bastardisation of "Solaris"...
Though i2c and sensors drivers are integrated into kernel indeed, there're no userspace tools to read sensors values yet. One have to dig through sysfs hierarchy and try to figure out real temp or voltage values from some cryptic readings.
Strangely, work on libsensors sysfs port is going very slow, there're some patches for actual sensors utils floating (from lm_sensors mailing list), but values printed still make little sense...

How does it compare to Laptop Mode?

Strange that no one has mentioned this - self-assembling swarmbots were first described in Stanislaw Lem's "Peace On Earth".
The same author described self-organizing swarmbots in his 1964 novel "The Invincible". Impressive!

Make sure your X is using at least 24bpp colour depth.

This may be funny, but Plesk isn't Open Source in any way. It is in fact encoded PHP.
