The Massive software they wrote for dealing with crowd scenes has a certain amount of AI built in so that you can get realistic looking crowd scenes without animators getting nickle-and-dimed to death on animationg thousands of figures seperatly.
According to one of the Weta guys speaking at a function, this had some downsides, not least of which was semi-autonomous soldiers running away from battles. Not quite the look they were after.
IIRC RH7.2 installs ext3 with both data and metadata logging enabled by default, so your performance change is most likely that you're doing two writes for every one you did before.
This flies in stark contridiction with my experiences playing with the kernel in Linux, where a simple errant pointer can wreck an entire Make.
Yeah, ruining a *whole make*. That's awful. Just as bad as hosing entire filesystems.
That's not to say NT's Hotfixes are foolproof
And it's a good thing you didn't, too, since one of the reasons NIMDA caught some people unawares was a case where IIS would keep switching indexing server, and hence vulnerabilty, back on under certain circumstances with software updates.
Are 2K fixes, in general, better than NT4? Sure. Are XP ones better? Who knows, it's hardly had time on the market for problems to occur. But they're still a mile away from the Unix/BSD/Linux world (although it appears Apple are going to drag the rep of the BSD world down...).
But quite frankly, anyone who auto updates their server, of any class, is a fucking moron.
You sound suspiciously like someone who doesn't have sufficient experience in the NT world.
Windows patches and hotfixes are a whole world of pain. SP2 for NT4 erased filesystems. SP6 crippled people running Notes. Hotfixes regularly blow each other away. They're a *mess*, and a good Windows admin will be *very* cautious about applying either hotfixes or service packs for NT/W2K/XP because the QA on them seems to be so low, so often.
The at tried doing nothing; according to the article, they sliced and diced the poor creature's brain some more until it stopped trying to eat at inconvenient moments. Bastards.
TFTP has no authentication in the protocol, so the only ACLs you've got are network level ones from TCP wrappers.
All it requires is a misconfiguration on the TFTP server, and you'll be able to fetch and overwrite any file anywhere on the filesystem; I've seen this happen in the real world from time to time.
One of those good arguments is that based on what we know of reptilian and reptile-like (eg Tuatara, which is not a reptile; it only looks like one) metabolisms; if the larger dinosaurs were really cold-blooded, a la iguana, they'd require over a day of continuous sunlight to warm up enough to move. Which seems unlikely.
For that matter, most common knowlege about reptiles is rubbish - crocodiles look after their young, for example, something reptiles are generally claimed not to do.
It's nothing to do with being lazy, and everything wto do with whether you spend your time playing with your bollocks while you prepare your environment, or whether you spend your time actually doing something interesting with it.
What happened to giving credit where credit is due? RMS claims the name of a system should be GNU/Linux because you can't run Linux without GNU tools. You sure as shit can't run the HURD without a microkernel - so it should be the Mach/HURD.

Funny thing is that on the non-US information sources (BBC, etc) that go into New York, there seems to be little appetite amongst those who lost people for revenge. That's mostly among the people outside NY - in the midwest and West Coast.
US sources, OTOH, barely seem to be talking to the New Yorkers affected. CNN, in particular, quickly abandoned coverage of the victims in favour of beating the drums of war (and marketshare).
Ahh, yes. Yahoo touting Nazi "memorabilia" is a rights issue, but anyone selling WTC merchandise is a suck fuck and we're all glad the auction sites refuse to deal in it.
I'm aware of one company where the major causes for concern were people running systems in violation of company policy (which is no net-facing IIS). They'd managed to sneak around the security controls in the company.
That wasn't the fault of the systems staff in the company, but they still ended up cleaning up the mess because a bunch of idiots were Doing The Wrong Thing.
More to the point, Nimda is *not* just another Code Red; it spreads through shares, email, and a number of other vectors, including browser use. It's quite capable of destroying an internal network simply by getting on a staff member's laptop while they work off-site and then unleashing itself internally.
It's at least as genuine a democracy as the United States. Which, given the Supreme Court of the US describes any attempts to circumvent bribery of politicians by limited liability entities as an abridgement of the first amendment, may not be saying much.
People who think that Japan's democracy is for show only aren't paying enough attention to Japan, but that's hardly uncommon.
You'd be thinking wrong, son. The British government repeatedly requested the US government's assitance in these issues. When they asked George Bush Sr, they got told preventing US citizens from funding international terrorism would be "abridging their right to free speech".

Well, IMO, anyway. It always feels to me like there was too much time spent playing with cool special effects; I like Evil Dead 2 far more than 3.
Most of the world uses PAL. NTSC is a small minority of countries.

The right tool for grandma is a Mac running classic MacOS.

I'll certainly be feeling no sympathy for CIA staff who die by anthrax. Or anything else, for that matter. Sick fucks.
Sad thing is, the people responsible will probably die in their beds, with a fat pension and commendations.

Most successful large projects are in COBOL, assembler, or REXX. Especially COBOL.

I'm aware of that specific, technical use - but in general, either is correct (and hung is the older form).
Actually, snuck is less colloquial - past tenses like "snuck", "hung" and the like are of older derivation than modern forms such as "sneaked".

Actually, one can always extend that by prosecuting possesors of (actual) child porn as accesories to kiddie rape. Much better...

It is not our right to impose democracy on them. The imposition of democracy by an outside force has never worked.
Worked pretty well in Japan. MacArthur did a bang-up job of imposing a democratic state there.
