I have not played FPS for over a decade but I have a soft spot for "stompy robots". I bought Crossover at the end of last year, just to run Mechwarrior Online(and support Wine/Crossover) and it installed Steam and MWO without a hitch and it works really well. It is the 32bit version(DirectX 9). DirectX 11 is a work-in-progress.
Voices of sanity in a sea of snark. Which keyindings do people use for their shell?
When I started as a sysadmin and wanted to muscle-memorise the vi commands, I would run 'set -o vi'. Worked a treat. After I discovered the joy of emacs, it was 'set -o emacs' .
This is my experience as well. I have supported a shared memory system and now a distributed memory cluster, the resilience of the latter means job resubmission of jobs related to the failing node is the standard response. A failed blade (Altix brick in my case) meant the entire numalink connected system would go down. Component-level resilience and predictive diagnostics help. Job suspension and resumption and/or migration is also useful to work around predicted or degraded component failure.
The cladists have won. Birds are dinosaurs.
Willful ignorance is unforgivable. Creationists keep their kids in a fact and logic-free bubble long enough for them to breed.
Agreed. I enjoyed listening to him at the Perl Conference 1997 and his "Cathedral and the Bazaar" and, to a lesser extent "Homsteading the Noosphere", essays were useful. I used fetchmail when I had dialup. Everything he has uttered since has been unenjoyable.
Thanks for the links, especially the SIAM one. Some of those ideas I touched on in my Honours thesis as my project was directly affected by the issues of lost programs; old media storage where was were parts of programs found; a paper with an idealised function only described with a graph; incomplete mathematical description of a model component. I have begun planning future research along with a methodology to avoid a lot of the above issues.
From NOAA's National Climate Data Center list of temperature records in July 2011:
"Out of a possible 173,311 records: 1,564 (Broken) + 1,086 (Tied) = 2,650 Total"
I saw a lot of cheating in labs and in the study rooms when I did Computer Science in the late 1970s. Sharing code printouts was the most common. [I justified my poor marks to myself that I did not have enough friends in Computer Science. It was more like I was easily distracted]
This post should be Moderated "Ungrateful sod". A bunch of volunteers pull out all stops to put together a conference against some daunting odds and you expect someone to type up a transcript for you? How much are you going to pay for it?
An update has been posted with a response from the The Met office explaining the data selection method. It is not a conspiracy/mistake. The data is a well-spaced global set, not a regional set. Analysis on a regional basis is flawed.
Once upon a time "Troll" was reserved for obnoxious people who deliberately made outlandish comments to wind up Slashdotters. Now the trolls have mod points.
Nor do I understand Quantum ChromoDynamics. I am half way through Penrose's "Road to Reality" and I do not expect to understand either when I get to the end. That being said, the arxiv.org paper is fathomable at first glance (not so Greek). it is pleasing to see results coming out of the LHC. Science inches forward.
So you had no blackouts during the heatwave in Jan 2009? Train tracks buckling and a few people dying in their homes? I was visiting friends in Thornbury and we had numerous blackouts over a couple of days. Had dinner by candlelight at the local Indian restaurant.

Perfect for a written record of all your changes.

NASA have a map for that.
Naturally yes. I like the early-bed time, but the sun never sets on Slashdot.
My favourite French expression. Haven't met a French person who gets it though.

Tridge started Samba.
That would be non-avian dinosaur feathers.
Are you sure about those records?

I heartily agree. Many Slashdot commenters are indistinguishable from Youtubers.

Well said. People arguing with AGW gave up on data, if they ever did, a long time ago.

If there are more than a few queued at self-service, I look elsewhere. They are all amateur scanners, often confused by the unfamiliar [me included]

Modded off-topic? Bizarre. Grammar jokes are the heart and soul of Slashdot.
said I owned an iPhone.

Waiting on the laws of physics and chemistry to change.
