Unfortunately, the 84/51 errors don't mean just one thing. Well, they mean that a CRC error has occurred, but there are a variety of things that could cause it - maybe your IDE cables are too long for the ATA level that your drives are using, or maybe the cables come too close to your power supply, or who knows. Linux is considered to be cutting edge for automagically decreasing the ATA level when it gets too many of these, but for some applications that's not a good thing.
Like other people have said, turning off DMA (or just dropping it to a low level, like UDMA-3) could solve your problem. Or it could be an impending failure.
Yes, StarOffice is OpenOffice with a price tag and cosmetic changes. Sun's charging for it doesn't hurt anybody because they made sure that OpenOffice would be freely available first.
Does anybody think that HP isn't going to phase out the Alpha? For some, that doesn't matter much, but I imagine that lots of people are going to be hesitant about buying into a system whose days are so obviously numbered.
If you're stupid enough to use your real address then you deserve to get spam.
That's utter crap. It's right up there with "if you don't install an alarm, you deserve to be burgled and the burgler will be innocent" and "if you wear such a short skirt, you deserve to be raped"
He's close, though - substitute "should expect" for "deserve" and he's on the money. Or, rather, the rest of us should expect it, because if you're stupid enough to do it you're probably too stupid to expect it.
And that's where the potential for improvement will be. Does Serial ATA allow simultaneous operations to multiple drives on the same channel? Does it still have the 2 drives per channel limitation? Does it still have the concept of a channel? Can I issue multiple commands at once and let the drive figure out the best way to complete them, as SCSI does?
Then please explain to me why Bush wants to give his buddies in the oil industry permission to drill in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Because they're his buddies, duh. If his buddies were against drilling then he'd be against drilling. It's the way most people work - they go with the flow and believe what their friends believe, without applying critical thinking.
That's what this country needs: more critical thinking.
While I agree that copyright life is way too long, the argument that the copyright should not extend past the life of the artist is wrong and is equivalent to saying that the state should inherit the (house or car or bank account or whatever) of the deceased.
That depends. Who, ultimately, "owns" the work? The artist has the copyright, but a good case can be made that it belongs to society as a whole.
Ownership of ideas is not like ownership of physical objects, which is why copyright law exists in the first place.
Now there's a law reform idea: How about this for a simple rule to remove laws intended for intimidation rather than enforcement - at least one prosecution per year, otherwise the law is thrown out?
Some activities should remain criminal regardless of their frequency. For example, some municipalities go years without having any murders.
*cough* well, MP3 and OGG are both lossy formats. But both, with different algorithums to determain what data to keep, and which to toss. SO, you have converted from one lossy format to another. Getting the worst of both worlds. A note to others: DO NOT convert from MP3 to OGG and wonder why it sounds like crap.
Didn't you read the post you replied to? He converted from MP3 to OGG and it didn't sound like crap to him.
The fact is, it doesn't matter how crappy your sound file is when your playback hardware is worse.

(And when does the Bujold CD come out??!!!)
I've heard that her agent talked her out of electronic publishing, Baen-style, which is too bad.
How about for people who are still learning how to code?
For them, nothing is easy to use, since coding is full of new concepts that they don't understand yet.
Using multiple xterms is not more difficult than using multiple windows within an IDE, and both require the multiple window concept in order to display different files simultaneously.
Now, coding in a single window, closing one file in order to view another - that's more difficult / less productive.
From the Register article: "Command-line tools get the job done at a low-level, but these tools have not been easy to use. You have several console windows open to build and debug [an application]," said product manager for RAD solutions John Ray Thomas.
Since when is having multiple xterms "not easy to use"?
That and what about them making these things mandatory for enlisted service-men. Every soldier has embedded communications and location tracking device.
That sounds like an absolute nightmare from an infantryman's point of view. There are lots of circumstances where a soldier does not want to be able to be easily located.
A) No one has come up with a revenue model to justify Apple's investment in it. And with no significant portion of either production or consumption of video taking place on Linux desktops, I sincerely doubt anyone ever will.
Never is a long time. Nobody knows what operating systems will be used for production or consumption of video in 20 years, or even 10. Granted, nobody knows if anybody will care about Quicktime in 10 years either.
Bringing them back now, when other species have evolved, could throw everything off balance and screw up the world even more.
Interesting... do you believe that the environment is in a state of stasis? If not, do you believe that there is a desirable environmental state, and if earth's environment ever reaches this state, the environment will cease changing and stabilize?
I don't believe that the environment is in a state of stasis; things are constantly changing: some good, some bad. Some species become extinct while others thrive. I think that when words like "good" and "bad" are used to add a moral element to discussion about the environment, it is not desirable.
Is it morally correct for non-human species X to exist or to not exist, and if so, why? Is it morally desirable to have the greatest number of species or the least, or somewhere in between? What diety makes these moral decisions? (That's my point, by the way.)
To get back to what you said... what makes you think that the world, environmentally speaking, is screwed up? Change, good and bad, has always occurred; humans may have driven species extinct, but species sometimes become extinct without human help. Balance might exist for a while, but it is not the case that it always existed and always will exist. There might be climate change occurring, but climate change has occurred in the past; I suggest that there is no absolute moral good or bad involved in this.
Don't get me wrong: these changes might be good or bad for human beings. If the average worldwide temperature were to go up by hundreds of degrees, it would be very bad for human civilization. But it would not be morally wrong.
The answer is simple: the "community" is the sum total of internet users and sites, and the standards that should be used to judge the decency of a web site are those of the internet community. In the internet community, anything goes, and nothing's illegal (there are no laws, after all.) If somebody in Podunk, WI gets upset because they saw something on the world wide web that's against Podunk's community standards, then they should have stayed in Podunk instead of venturing out into the internet community.
... where the students already know more than the faculty? I mean, really, if the school loses this suit, what does it really say about the quality of the instructors at the school?
What makes you think that the faculty have anything to do with this lawsuit, or that the quality of the instructors has anything to do with the lawyers they hire?
It is a public university, after all. Hiring good lawyers would conflict with their mandate to hemorrhage money as quickly as possible.
I have heard of some security group called "Cult of the Dead Cow." Kind of a strange name, I know, but I hear they will fully check out your secrurity. They just need a few root passwords....
If they're so great, what do they need the root passwords for?
Slashdot Mirror
Why do you need to say that?
It kind of means "in my opinion", but no one was going to think it was a Shakespeare quote or anything.
It also means "my opinion isn't important, so feel free to skip this comment."
Not if you use gold-plated fibre-optic cables, though. As usual the rich get their rights while the poor get trampled on!!!!!!

That sounds like a great comparison (I don't know if it's accurate, because I've never used clearcase, but it sounds great.)
As for me, I've never needed Matlab (or Clearcase), because I have this 5 dollar pocket calculator that came with my OS.

And after it embarrasses or bothers us enough, we will slowly but surely be trained to turn the phone off during those times. Pavlov would be proud.

Of course having one of the John's, Flansburgh that is, plus the director AJ Schnack show up to the screening only added to the value.Why?
Actually, I'm pretty sure that they won't realize it then either.

Probably not, but the generation after that, sure. Half of which will be spent on X Windows for the heads up display.
