Help, help. I've got a patient under the knife and the kernel paniced on me. Unless I can get this machine up and running in the next twenty minutes, I'm going to lose the patient.

Un-fucking-believable! Is it so hard to use Google? The first result of "linux brain surgery" is a huge thread about this.

Technically your machine doesn't "run", it just sits there, so it would be more correct to say "Unless I can get this machine up and operating" (pardon the pun)
Subject: "running" vs. "operating" (Was: Re: Kernel panic while in brain surgery) Newsgroups: comp.os.linux.misc From: Linux Rules
Actually, while the machine isn't literally "running", the term has become idiomatic and it is acceptable to use it in this manner.

Look, pal. First of all, stop yelling. It is not proper netiquette. Have you read the group FAQ? Read it before posting questions. It might have been covered there already.
No. If you just delete the files or fast-format the drive, people will be able to get data from the drive. If you format the drive properly, and/or fill it with junk, no-one will be able to get anything out of the drive.
And before you say that there are companies that restore data from hard-drives that have been in a flood or a fire, please remeber that there is a big difference in purposely deleting data from disk and a disk that has been in an accident.
Now, if you are paranoid, you can take a blow-torch and heat the disk to above the magnetic material's curie temperature. It will lose its magnetic properties completely and as it cools down, it will be "reset" to the surrounding magnetic field (most probably the Earth's). That way you ensure that if someone is to get any data out of the (now) lump of metal, they'll have to break the laws of physics.
Well yes, that is a historical ride, but some of the coasters that have been opened just during last few years combine the worst of all worlds: They're short, slow, and have maybe like 1 loop or corkscrew.
Come to Finland, we have roller coasters that have a hill and some turns. And the really exciting one has a corkscrew.
I went to Disneyland Paris last summer and the least exciting kiddie coaster they had there (the train that could) is just barely worse than the best in Finland.
Okay, so I haven't been to the parks for a couple of years, and they've gotten some new stuff there, but I am still doubtful...
Even if you get a caller id, you still have to react to each call. You have to get to the phone and either pick the phone up, or just let it ring (which quickly gets pretty annoying), or possibly press some kind of "reject" key. (don't know if such phones exist)
I'm pretty sure the cameras on the phones are mostly used as a drunk-cam. They're not something you use to snap your holiday pictures or other "planned" pictures.
I find that instead of buying the latest smookeeng processor, just double the amount of RAM in the machine. This works (at the moment) at least as long as you currently have less than 512MB.
Less swapping means a lot more speed. Yes, and this holds true with Photoshop as well.
I can see the difference between 25 and 50 fps, but a game running at 25 fps (or even 15 fps) doesn't bother me much, as long as the framerate stays constant. What bothers me more is when a game runs at 100 fps most of the time, then slows down to 3 when there is lots of action on screen, then speeds up again.
Exactly. If you want further proof, go and download a 8-bit Nintendo emulator and EVERY game you can find for it. Not just the games you remember are good, but all games. Then start playing. You will quickly see that even in the days of yore, 90% of everything was shit.
Of course, neither Yahoo or Hotmail use the system to filter incoming spam. Instead they use it to stop automated systems from creating new accounts used for spamming.
So what your post should have said is: Spam truly originated from Yahoo today: n
Spam truly originated from Hotmail today: m
Of course anyone can slap something@hotmail.com into the from field in their email client or spam software.
Yes, but if anyone can do it, it doesn't matter whether they publish their findings or just dump the trash back for everyone else to find for themselves.

I'll do it for $510. Sure, the initial investment might be higher, but the total cost of ownership is a lot lower.

If anyone is going to chew aluminum in the hopes of getting high, just because they read it on Slashdot on some guy's sig, it's already too late.
If the boss can demand any of either you, your neighbours and your relatives to take the picture.
And if he can do that, he might as well tell them to take the picture with a normal camera.
How is having picture tanking abilities in a phones a form of mass surveillance?
Is people having any kind of cameras, digital or not, a form of mass surveillance?
I just tried going to http://goatse.cx with a Sony-Erisson P800 and there was no doubt about what I was looking at...
Of course, that space pen story is an urban legend.
So a Segway has a zero radius turns as opposed to what, 3 foot radius turns?

No, you don't fight fire with fire. That doesn't work. Everyone knows that. You fight fire with water!
