Because, as we all know, it's the fault of the Chinese rural peasants that their government takes money and dumps pollutants in their rivers. After all, if they don't like the government they can just elect a new one!
Are you kidding? How about an extensive, reliable, tested library of networking, user interface, and I/O code which can be used to create "complex applications" extremely easily.
Every hotel I've stayed in over the last few years already has has a console, usually an N64. You can use it as an additional charge on the room, just like net access and porn channels.
Forget the outcry - most of them have contractual obligations. In the case of the Alpha, a number of Alpha based supercomputers exist where DEC/Compaq/HP have a contractual obligation to provide new generation Alphas with particular performance requirements.
The closest is to dd/dev/urandom onto the device you want to destory, as others have indicated. You'll want to do it a few times.
Last time I sold hard drives I ran a repeating cycle of urandom and/dev/zero over the surface for a day. I imagine the spooks could pull stuff off, but it ought to be safe from the casual browser.
Yeah, that's it, a crock. I remember you standing over my shoulder, watching me do my work. You were sitting there watching my customers do their jobs, in their environments, with their systems, and in fact, you know it so much better than me.
Fuckhead.
Apple will not subject its customers to the nightmare of emulation again.
Like they did with MacOS 9 as an emulated environment under MacOS X?
There's nothing dumber for them to do. If you're going to make people think about a completely new user interface, they're going to think about migrating to PocketPC devices, as well.
Yes. It worked Just Fine - in fact, when I was moving customers from 68k to PPC in them days, there were fewer problems from emulation than their usually were from new versions of the System software.
Farmers, like eveyone else, demand to make a living for what they do. When farming, or anything else does not pay, people move on to what does pay. You would be hard pressed to say that the US, which exports more food than anyone else in the world, and has an obesity problem, has any kind of problem making food.
Twitter? More like twat.
The US farm industry surviuves on billions of dollars of taxpayers largess because it isn't sustainable otherwise. When you've finished exploring your own arse, you could go look at appropriations for farm subsidies in the US some time. There's a reason the phrase "Moscow on the Mississippi" exists.
That would be the Aussie V8s - the Ford Falcon and the Holden Commodore (and now the reborn Monaro Coupe), both of which are mid-size (in US terms) V8s. They are four doors, though. The run a so-called "V8 Supercars" race in Australia.
Of course, the only reason they have a viable racing series is they banned anything that could compete with them in Oz a few years back. Apparently being given a hiding by Nissan Skyline GT-Rs and the odd beating from BMW M3s on tight tracks was too humiliating. Oh, and "non-Australian" V8s are banned to stop Toyota or Jaguar handing them their arse.
Which gets back to your point - car racing is about selling cars, and the competition rules for saloon competitions, whether V8 Super, BTCC, or whatever, reflect what the power of the manufacturers to get the rules to run their way.
The migration of VVT type technologies (Honda, Toyota, and BMW all use it) into consumer engines is entirely a development from Honda's research during their period in racing. Which is why consumer level cars can now get 100+ HP/litre at the top end of the rev range, with a docile, low-fuel performance around town.
It's also one of the reasons the latest generation BMW M3 has comparable power to a Holden Monaro with an engine 2/3s the displacement.
Likewise, traction control systems and by-wire are becoming quite common. A lot of turbo tech came out of F1 before they were banned.
However, in a general sense, rallying is probably now providing more innovation to consumer cars these days (AWD, ongoing turbo development, for example).
So you're saying that a prerequisite for posting anything to the web is that it can handle a worst-case slashdotting load?
No, he's saying you've got to accept the consequences of the nature of the medium. Complaining that people link to your site in ways you don't like is like appearing in an art-house film with sex scenes and then complaining teenagers whack off to it instead of appreciating it as fine art.
Tolkien died in 1973, IIRC. That means there's another 20 years to run in most of the world, 40 in the USA, on any work of his, regardless of when it's discovered.
Based on, my arse. About the only chunk that's based on any real part of the historical record is tha observation of the funeral rites, which were indeed recorded in a real document. Most everything after that is a giant, steaming Crichton-mound.
It's an OK novel and a fun film, but it's a complete load of crap to claim it's based on real history, and Crichton deserves a kick up the arse for doing so.
Not much at all, other than half a dozen or so pieces of fiction (Farmer Giles of Ham, etc) and a dozen or more non-fiction works (more, actually, but I'm thinking of what can be bought).
I'd enumerate them, but I can't be arsed going to my wifes' study and hauling out all the non-fiction.
More likely enjoy the fruits of their labour and give them nothing in return. And ask their in-house programmers why they should still have jobs, when guys will do it for nothing.
Yes, but for a strong enough encryption of the FS, "a while" will equal years. If the information is obsolete before it can be accessed, it's worse than useless.
Yeah. Like the way the Mad Anthrax Mailer suddenly went from a "must get" when it was thought to be a filthy foriegner to a "drop like hot potato" when it started looking like ties to senior millitary research labs.
Way too hard. Just identify people who may have important expertise (senior staf, technical specialists, and the like), and start arranging for a string of accidents.
For example, see the US government make strides in this direction by Dick Cheney ensuring the US is the only one of more that 100 countries blocking a bid to make drugs more affordable for third world nations.

Sounds like Perl to me.

Doesn't matter where the code base was derived. It it uses the same mechanism, it's a patent violation.

I assume by "rice" you're excluding actual Japanese race cars like the Skyline GT-R.
(And boy were Aussie car fans upset when Subaru released a station wagon that could cane their beloved V8 Group A SS Commodores...).
And aren't interested in competing in forms of racing like, oh, rallying.
