Most reactions are along the line of what you refer to at the end, partisan chest beating in an attempt to win political points - not real concern about the underlying issue.
What matters more is what db cheap hosting providers have. If they all start running MariaDB we'll see a big shift. As a distro default I'm not sure if it matters so much. I guess the other side of that coin would be WordPress, Drupal, Joomla!, and so on.
I'd like to think that this is going to change or this leak will help but I've pretty much given up on that.
Most people don't care and even if they did, they couldn't do anything. AND if they got to a position to do something I think they would become an imminent threat.
No - because that thing isn't big enough. If what you are saying it is true then what it is, is a model, not a mock up.
This has nothing to do with the type of electronics they have in there and everything to do with the size and location of the equipment or the lack thereof.
I've spent a pretty good amount of time sitting in the cockpit of F-14s. (on the ground as an enlisted grunt) That cockpit says as much as the rest of the exterior.
I thought it was o.k. except the partitioning part. I got pretty confused there - and all I wanted to do was to blow out the old drive and do a fresh install.
There was never an option to change the computer name - that was unfortunate. Had to google a bit to figure out how after the install was done.
Oh and the time zone thing. Networking is there - go ahead and get me closer to where I actually am. Poking at the little map to get the right city was annoying.
You don't have to reinstall every six months to run Fedora.
I installed F18 last week on my machine that has been running F16 since it came out, which was a little over a year ago. That system was upgraded from F14. My next upgrade will be to F20. Once a year is not a bad deal. And I don't have to do it then if you don't want - but eventually they do stop supporting the older versions and I like the new stuff that comes out. But I could install Fedora Core 4 on a machine if I wanted and run that.
I think the Fedora 16 support ends some time soon - but I was getting regular updates right until I switched.
I've started using it for personal projects. It makes it easy for me to work on multiple machines, provides a form of backup by spreading the code around and should I ever do anything that actually interests someone else - they'll be able to join in or use what I've done.
I think having games run well on Linux means improvements to the system as a whole that makes it more appealing. That's the biggest bonus to me and by big I don't necessarily mean Linux becoming a dominant desktop platform but rather it finally starts getting treated a little better by more vendors. I've been using Linux for a long time and I get pretty excited about small steps forward that are a big deal to me.
He didn't say you have to be one to enjoy it - he said you'd need to be one to really get more out that's intelligent because the story wont give that to you.
I don't know what you think happened in 2002 - but as someone a little older let me posit that a lot of people haven't cared about more than entertainment and their personal take on politics for a long time. Lots of people still get excited about space exploration.
But as the op there says - we just don't have a lot of meat to discuss about this exact thing right now. I'm excited about it and I guess I could make some stuff up about what I think it means but I don't tend to run that way.
Now American politics? Yeah I can opine on that all day with as much validitiy as most the other idiots. Though I try to avoid that too. I used to spend a lot of energy on it and realized it was lowering my quality of life.
Do you think it all boils down to something that simple? I bet there are more variables at play, especially in a hospital setting.
And the kind of dismissive insults that are so prominent in this thread indicate of level of certainty that ought to mean someone knows for sure. And I hope someone does. I like knowing rather than wondering. But I haven't seen someone offer up some solid information yet.
I have little tolerance for people who wont vaccinate their kids, because as I understand it hard science has shown that it's not going to give them autism but it will stop the spread of disease. I didn't just pick a position though immediately because I thought it was on the 'side' I wanted to be on. I read up whatever material I could understand. I'd love to have access to more information here to try and form an informed opinion rather than a knee jerk one.
I can think up scenarios where the benefits of flu vaccines for nurses in a hospital are negligible without resorting to magic. Honestly - I doubt that this is the case. But as I've said earlier in the thread - if we are going to fire people we should have solid facts backing up that action, not just assumptions. I'm funny that way.
Makes sense to me too - but quite often when we actually study stuff we find that our common sense assertions are wrong.
If we are going to take away people's jobs I would rather it were based on scientific study.
And if it can be proven that their choice hurts patients - then yes let them get vaccinated or leave. It seems like if this is already known it ought to be easy to point out.
Otherwise decisions are being made without evidence. Given the current climate I'm not upset with getting rid of health care workers who wont get flu vaccinations because God told them not to. They may advise patients not to get vaccinations for more serious diseases. But I'm also worried about what thing some hospital administrator might decide is necessary next if they aren't held to a scientific standard.
I noticed that too - but at the end of it all the bottom line to me is, "What do the facts support?"
The op's response is just what the Dr. describes and if that response is based on her being wrong - then I think it is justified. But it ought to be pretty easy to point out if that is the case.
If no one actually knows for sure -- then I find being so self-righteous about it to be a bit problematic.
I get a flu shot every year. I am really glad vaccinations are available and my kids have had all theirs. But this specific ramification of being vaccinated or not I don't know much about.
Is Dr. Orient wrong? Is there evidence that immunized workers are less likely to transmit the virus.
I'm less interested in arguing the point and more interested in getting some information - which the link on that assertion does not do. It just goes to another story about this.
There may be some confusion here - version 2 of RCX is XP only. NXT and NXT 2.0 came out later. I think (could be wrong of course) that op is talking about v1 and v2 of RCX - which are xp only and it took some hacks to get the usb ir tower to work on xp. If you have a 64 bit machine with 7 it's a no go. Found that out last year when I dug up my v2 RCX kit to mess around. I didn't have time to dig further - I'm guessing to get it to work I'd need to build out a VM maybe that would let me run the old software.
The $350 price is not bad. I bought my RCX kit in the late 90s for $250 I think - or something close to it. The price only going up $100 in that time is impressive I think.

I think this close up of the cockpit makes it clear that that static display isn't functional. The video looked a lot like an RC.
and the pixels are a dead giveaway here
In a few countries.
Of course with a vpn it's available world wide.
Why don't you just keep running Fedora 17?

I wish I were optimistic enough to believe that this change had something to do with safety or people's rights.
My guess is that the right people made enough money or the right favors were repaid and now it's time to move on to making someone else richer.

if you need karma go back to when this ran 4 days ago and grab some high rated comments.
tagging a story dup in the 'mysterious future' should flag it for review so this doesn't happen.
It's front page at reddit right now as well I believe - and HN

It seems that way - but I've gotten too jaded to just count on it.
if this means more games for linux on the desktop then yeah it could be big.
Otherwise - it's just another locked down console and I'm not sure what benefit it will have for linux on the desktop.
