Sorry, one of my many job functions is optimizing shell scripts. I really can't help myself when I spot something like this. Using the pipe causes an extra process to be spawned and that's an expensive operation.
Interesting point. It's not clear whether it is any case, or just case where the US service personnel are the accused. Definitely something for the courts.
You missed the part where it says "except in cases arising in the land or naval forces" - which could be construed to cover the enemy combatants given that they were arrested by the land forces.
The only part left for them is the due process part.
Well, that and this whole 100,000 year large ice age thing might have really started when the isthmus of Panama formed and prevented the ocean from getting even warmer at the equator than it does now. This extra warmth would have propagated away and moderated global temperatures. Since that warmth cannot accumulate, the cyclical changes in the Earth's orbit around the Sun would cause lower dips in temperature allowing ice accumulations during the colder periods.
During the cretaceous, the Earth was likely 10 C warmer on average than it is now, with ocean surface temperatures up to 20 C higher, and there is no evidence that polar ice caps existed during the Cretaceous (note: this is not the same as saying that they didn't exist).
Having seen plenty of Colorado drivers in my state, I already thought you guys were assholes.
But, back on topic: I knew I didn't have a chance at buying world series tickets, nor the money to fly out, so I pretty much didn't try the site. I'd already accepted a TV world series just like every year before. But God I wish I'd been able to see the 2004 Series.
Besides, if I am going to watch baseball in-person, I really prefer to watch minor-league games. They still play a lot of small-ball, and they have to rely on strategy more than just getting a bunch of sluggers together for $millions a contract.
What exactly do you find "non-standard" about the tools included with Solaris (and which standards are we talking about)? Or did you really mean "non-GNU" tools?
During my service in the United States Congress I took the initiative in creating the internet.
While it doesn't actually say "I created the internet," it's a phrase that is intended to imply to the average idiot that he did, in fact, create the internet.
Yes, he took plenty of "information superhighway" initiatives. Thanks to some of those initiatives, we have the commercialized internet. However, the internet existed before that - not necessarily funded by any of his initiatives and certainly not because of much legwork done by him.
It was a disingenuous statement and it'd be nice if more politicians were held accountable for that type of spin.
Putting up a private web server on the World Wide Web with ads and bitching about people ad-blocking is like putting up a strip show on a private but fully exposed-to-the-world yard next to a freeway, and bitching when people slow down to look at the show and don't leave a tip.
Of course, people always criticize analogies, especially mine (yes, I see the flaws here, but it helps to illustrate).
Anyway, I fully admit I block ads on the web - and I'll use the music pirate's argument: I'm never going to click on an ad, so they aren't losing any money.
Oh, for the record, free-to-air television ads are totally different in that they don't track where I go or what channel I'm watching.
Well, as I said Linux folks would have had nothing to build upon without the BSD code (and reverse engineering work). For a group that stresses the idea of sharing source code for community benefit, it sure seems assholish to not give something back. Like getting a free blowjob and refusing to return the favor or even buy a drink.
And, for the record, I don't use BSD at all except for a Soekris box running m0n0wall.
The advantage is that Linux (and the GPL) get an edge-up over BSD. Since BSD won't be legally able to use any GPLed improvements on the driver, that leaves BSD out cold. If the improvements end up leading to greater market share, all the better for the Linux folks, who'd rather see more GPL software out there than BSDL software. It is, after all, about control.
While I am of the opinion that the dual-licensing probably allows the Linux folks to do what they are doing to the driver, it's very asshole-ish. "Hi, thanks for the driver. We made it better, but now you're on your own despite the fact that we wouldn't have anything to build upon without you. Tough shit. Have a nice day!"
Before I ran out of room, I had started archiving my Apple II disks with ShrinkIT... I'd archive them onto my SCSI drive and then copy them via AppleTalk to a Linux box via a FastPath 5. I tried archiving directly to the netatalk share, but that'd cause a crash.
I need to get back to that before I lose all my disks, I have some good stuff.
I'm well aware of the problems with my analogy (and analogies in general), but I was hoping it would draw someone who would provide an actual answer that attempts to justify via logic the thought process that leads to the idea that a block of code that happens to make use of well-known hooks in the Linux kernel is a derivative work. The idea has always been absurd to me.
You, on the other hand, told me (by extension) that what I said sucks. Thanks for that, it really helped. Why don't you go after my spelling and grammar next, so you can feel extra superior today?
It's never made sense to me that something that makes use of kernel hooks ends up somehow being a derivative work.
To me, that's like telling me if I install an aftermarket stereo (module) in my Buick (kernel) using the wiring harness that came with the car (module hooks), my stereo is now considered to have been a derivative work of my car.
What about AVG? I really love it. I've installed on both my workstations and a server (Windows). It uses minimal resources, it's fast, and it's managed to catch more stuff then Trend Micro, Symantec and McAfee.
Also, Bitdefender and Nod32 are also good for the Windows enviroment. I'm curious to how all these ranked in the Linux world.
Test them yourself. The virus samples they used are found here.
The story could have shown a list of the tested viruses verses the AV software being tested. A simple table would have conveyed a great deal more information than the druel the fellow wrote. Yes I RTFA and as I said - it is not very informative.
You RTFA and then sadly don't do any research. Why would they bother to list the tested viruses when provide the actual viruses (see "Test Set")?
I quite often walk out with more than I came in with, but that's mostly luck and knowing when to quit (and sometimes knowing the math behind blackjack - Thanks Ken Uston!).
I should have clarified that *with the right company* there are jobs like that...
We have systems architects and engineers, business analysts, and research engineers that generally work a 40-hour week. Granted, there are times when there are more hours (rarely, a lot more), but mostly 40-hour weeks.
However, you have to be pretty diverse, including understanding hardware for which a lot of CS students seem to graduate without much understanding.

Way to add a pipe where none is needed.
Try reading about the -q option in diff(1).

No, what he said, exactly, was:

Yes, he took plenty of "information superhighway" initiatives. Thanks to some of those initiatives, we have the commercialized internet. However, the internet existed before that - not necessarily funded by any of his initiatives and certainly not because of much legwork done by him.

I am a lawyer.
You write like a 14-year old sending an SMS message. Is it too hard to spell out "software"?

It was Schrödinger's cat that would really know, not Heisenberg's.
No problem. I friended you - post a journal entry if you get this board and make it run. I'm curious, now!
Any idea what the price is on this critter? I don't see one offhand.
A quick search puts it from one place at $230.
Why don't we try *are* available instead? On an RoHS-compliant Pentium 4 board at that.
I quite often walk out with more than I came in with, but that's mostly luck and knowing when to quit (and sometimes knowing the math behind blackjack - Thanks Ken Uston!).
Yes, but in this case you put $1 into the slot machine, immediately hit the cash-out button and get $10 back, despite having not made a play.
So, how is it not theft to do that multiple times and not report it?
