I have a question, if 2^n-1 can only be a prime if n is a prime... would using the new 12M digit prime in the article as n, result in a new bigger prime? can it be repeated?
When we started, we did use Twisted. In practice, I found Twisted tedious. The deferred abstraction works, but I didn't love it in practice. Likewise, the HTTP/web support in Twisted is very chaotic (see http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/WebDevelopment... - even they acknowledge this). In general, it seems like Twisted is full of demo-quality stuff, but most of the protocols have tons of bugs. Given all those factors, it didn't seem to provide a lot of value. Our core I/O loop is actually pretty small and simple, and I think resulted in fewer bugs than would have come up if we had used Twisted.

The thing is, most of the time only happy customers get the opportunity to answer those surveys and disgruntled customers are shunned away.
Anyone who knows time travel knows they are just going to modify one timeline thread. They kill the boy, history forks, but back on the "original future", nothing has changed, because changes make time fork to a new timeline, it doesn't magically make things appear and disappear. It doesn't make people in pictures fade in or fade out.
You can go back in time as many times as you want, but you wont change your future, you can create a new future. But your old miserable you will remain miserable in his own timeline and will never notice any changes.
Don't forget about the psyco cyan glitch in ff6, a combination of remort, imp, death and life will make him unleash an infinite attack combo until the enemies are dead.
It was the FINAL fantasy back then with the original game, they thought it was going to flop, they thought it was the end of square, but then... that didn't quite happen and they got a popular game, why ditch a popular name just because the game has "final" in it?
How about marking a story, browsing to another story as usual and performing linked actions between the active story and the marked story.
Maybe even marking several stories/objects and performing actions on one or more of those objects. (and an action to clear the list or some of the objects of the list) But I think this is a little far fetched.
Slashdot Mirror
And ubuntu's community has to spend time dealing with the newbies, that's a huge weight off of debian's shoulders, it's a symbiotic relationship.
64.5% iphone owners couldn't reach anybody because all the lines were busy.
it's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt, then it's just fun.
Step 3 is more like ???
PROFIT!!!?
No, seriously, step 3 is more like, "you have to press 'Yes' to continue"
I hate having to be the one going against slashdot's popular opinion, but not everybody is interested in playing the same game for several years.
The common gamer just wants new games with better graphics every once in a while.
Older devices will have a trimmed down version of the iPhone OS 4.0 which will not include multitasking because the older devices have 128MB of RAM.
They will most probably have the ads API.

I heard those processes use a lot of resources and change radically your configuration for a long time.
I remember reading that the MSNBOT reads the "Robots.txt" file, but cpantesters has a lowercase filename:
http://static.cpantesters.org/robots.txt
http://static.cpantesters.org/Robots.txt doesn't exist, so basically MSNBOT only respects the robots.txt on case insensitive operating systems.

"Autodesk countered that because it licenses the software, rather than selling it outright, a licensee does not have the right to resell its products"
Vernor is passing that same license to a new owner, he's not duplicating it.
But now software licenses are tied to a single real life person and can't be transferred, you paid for it and now it's yours forever.
That is very cool, does it run on windows?

Yeah sure, it is never Apples fault.
Oh please. On Slashdot Apple's guilty until proven to be linux.
Fixed it for you.
In EVE you can buy In-Game cards to extend your subscription, if you have enough ISK, which the farmers most definitely have.

But the front camera is just a lousy VGA camera used for video calls.
Not the kind of picture quality you'd like when taking pictures of yourself with your friends.

Anyway this is Sci-Fi so anything is possible. :)

>Ask him how he picks up women.
He says, "marry me and I'll convince total strangers to send you $4000 worth of flowers some time in the next 40 years."
There I fixed it for you.
Yo dawg, I heard you like recursion...

Are you by any chance the creator of the "metric clock" Tycho mentioned?
Please be aware that the metric system uses decimal units, if something uses decimal units, it doesn't mean it uses the metric system.
