At least based on this site, there is absolutely no GSM reception above 650m (2100ft). So I guess the plane would need an own GSM base station for the cell phones to work.
I'm not in position of actually hiring people, but every now and then I've been asked to interview the employee candidates. The managers then base their decision (more or less) on my opinion. In the (hopefully clearly structured) resume, the candidate claims to have knowledge on specific technical areas, let it be programming environments, languages, databases or whatever.
My job as a interviewer is to determine how truthful the resume is. This is done by discussing the competence areas with rather low level technical terms. Asking whether the candidate can explain terms like semaphore, mutex, process, thread, iteration, recursion, and so on, tells a lot about persons technical skills. Way more than "Java Programming, level 4", in the resume.
So if the person can fluently discuss with technical terms, he probably also knows the stuff he's talking about. Conclusion? A compact, well structured resume may get you to the interview, but IMHO it's the interview that eventually matters.
Just create a large (~500Mb) file full of zeroes. gzip it, and place it on your webpage. Most browsers open.gz files in the browser, and loading something like 500Mb in the browser takes some time. May not crash the browser, but is definately as DOS as the articles "exploit":P
I love my dual optical logitech. Our two cats tend to leave their hair to everywhere, and with my previous single optical mouse I had to clean the mouse twice a day...
Now with dual sensors, it requires a lot of scrap on the board before the mouse starts to move on its own ways... and I'm not that messy:p
>> >> Cane we make this 2.6.9 to avoid breaking all kinds of scripts >> expecting >> three-digit kernel versions?
Well, we've been discussing the 2.6.x.y format for a while, so I see this as an opportunity to actually do it... Will it break automated scripts? Maybe. But on the other hand, we'll never even find out unless we try it some time.
.. but I also hope that the parents would become more aware that there is lot of games on the market that arent that suitable for kids under 16 (or 14, 12,..) for example.
I don't mean that violent games necessary cause violence, but I wouldn't let my kids watch some "action" movie with a lot of killing either...
ps. This is not meant as a troll, just a thought that came up when i read about the game idea.
As I'm not usually that fanatic player of these "new" games (nwn, mohaa, etc), I only win with this situation; By the time linux binaries get released, the original games are moved from the "new games" shelf, to the "half price" one..;)
Both Verdana and Tahoma are great fonts. Personally I prefer Verdana a bit more as for me it seems to be more readable in small size.
But then again, when you do your website, it is usually enough to define the font family that you want to be used, rather than the exact font.
Althought my magick line in css is usually
font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
.. to prefer that verdana bit more over other sans-serif fonts.:)
I'll wait for the final hardware and drivers before I decide which to buy.
... and again this falls down to the driver issue, for linux at least:) For me as long as the nvidia provides better drivers (who cares if they're closed source:), I'll keep buying their products...
Well, if we want linux "make it" to massmarket. This is really something that we need, "plug-n-play games". Yes, you can install winex by yourself, and propably all the orher packeges that come with this new mandrake. But how many can do it just in few minutes, there is always lots of configuration when installing stuff.
How unattractive it sounds; but if you would just combine window$ (simple) usability with Linux stability and configurability (with all the API supports)...
Linux really needs something like OSX, so incredible GUI and applications (and support!), that everything you want to do, you can just do it as "point and click".
.. of course people that don't want those automatically installed guis and want to configure everything by themselfs can still install e.g slackware and install all the components they want..
And about that emulation; yes, the idea sucks;) What really would own, would be API that has support both in windows, linux, mac etc. Maybe something that would be almost compatible with directx, so that games would be relatively easy to port to it..
I have two 40G 60GXP drives, and i'm using software raid0 for some partitions. Everything went fine for first few months. But now just week ago, other drive has started to lost it's DMA:
kernel: ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14
kernel: hda: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
kernel: hda: drive not ready for command
kernel: hda: timeout waiting for DMA
.. upgraded bios and kernel to latest ones.. did not help.. gotta check wheter this could be temperature problem too. If nothing helps, I'll propably RMA'd it. Of course this could be motherboard (VIA chipset) problem too, who knows...:u

The site seems to be slashdotted, so here's the google cache from the site ;)
... to /. the gimp.org website by putting direct link to current submissions :P
/contest/gallery.cgi was not found on this server.
The proactive measures has been taken; The requested URL
... why don't just copy paste the source code too :P

Two optical sensors.
