I think your first mistake was looking for help on freenode.
it isn't just #debian. #slackware, #perl, all of the big channels all have a few sad kids that think being a grump (to put it kindly) implies techical superiority. One of the more proficient minds in the perl community actually has a standard disclaimer, for God's sake! Thankfully, freenode isn't as bad as alt.os.linux.slackware yet.
I really wonder about this. Is it genetic? Is it a personality fault tied to technical ability a la Asberger(sp) syndrome?
so you're the tard heading through the S-turn on LSD jabbering on your cell? Thanks for cutting me off this morning, bud.
To get back on-topic, the report does suck. Union Station is mostly fucking underground, so of course there's going to be shitty cell coverage. 5 sites listed aren't even in Chicago, and the two airports? c'mon, I've never been in an airport in North America with good coverage.
I can say that T-Mobile coverage was great for me on the near NW side. I just jumped to Cingular and it has disappointed so far. Fuzzy connections on the north side (East Village and downtown) to downright unusable on the near South Side.
I predict the phenonmenon of making ringtones out of the latest teen pop will fade quickly as more and more annoying idiots are beaten to death with their own phones. It's happened in isolated incidents before but now we'll have critical mass.

Yes, I read the book. I have no doubt that you'll correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall that the narrator did not sleep with her subordinate (the business suit guy)on the project. She spoke of the intense sexual tension and attributed it to a result of long hours working closely on a project. The narrator and the GUI guy with the dog developed another common dynamic.
I don't remember the narrator bedding any of the clients on that project. I remember the narrator relaying a few anecdotes, perhaps about the potential clients she does a tech interview with toward the end of the book. Perhaps she dated a contact there in her past, but certainly not during the timespan of the book.
The only sex I remember in that book was with the dipshit Communist (Brian?). Not a client. Not a coworker. Just a guy she met at a conference.
I still believe that while the jacket might have called the book a memior, I believe Ms Ullman was writing a work of fiction. No names and dates were given, no specifics of any project. Maybe those stories happened to her, maybe not. It entertained me, and that's all I care about. Go ahead and censure Ms Ullman if you wish, but it doesn't make sense to me (I'm also baffled as to why your posts are being modded up, off topic as they are). I'm done with this.
Yeah, if someone bedded a coworker or client before a deadline, it would be worthy of censure. However I don't believe the narrator of "Close to the Machine" is Ms. Ullman herself.
There's plenty of info available googling - check the lkml archives for Linus' position on the subject.
basically,/usr/src is a system directory. When you compile libs,/usr/src/linux is where your system is going to look for symbol/function definitions. These must be the same headers that glibc was compiled with.
otherwise, look at my reply to the other reply. My experience was upgrading glibc, upgrading the kernel (changing the symlink), and proceeding to compile perl, openssl, apache, et al. IIRC, openssl was what bombed. It's been a while, and this was on an alpha, which has had its own issues.
You won't have a problem until you upgrade glibc. Actually, you probably won't have a problem until you upgrade glibc and THEN run something you've compiled afterwards. Then shit should get interesting.
Believe me, it's not something you want to try to track down, cause once you find out all that trouble could've been solved if you hadn't done something Linus himself told you not to do, you'll feel stupider than a win95 user.
Again, for the billionth time, folks,/usr/src/linux IS NOT supposed to be a symlink to the current kernel sources. /usr/src/linux SHOULD link to the kernel headers in place when glibc was compiled.
Shit you not. My company has one employee - me. Yet I've recieved a letter from the BSA saying that a disgruntled employee had reported my co for software piracy. Go figure. I know that the BSA was trolling the whois db cause it was sent to the address I used when I registered the domain.
I saw another discussion in a newsgroup where the BSA had sent letters to a guys home address but the names were 'Asdf Corp', 'Foobar Co', 'Compuglobalhypermeganet, Inc', and 'Global Domination Enterprises', etc.
DMR: So fsck was originally called something else. Q: What was it called? DMR: Well, the second letter was different.

And as for your final example, the poor word processor writer, I can't think of a single program author that earns his money that way (except for struggling shareware authors, but that's a different story).
I don't see your logic. "I can't think of a single program author that earns his money [seeling software] (except for [struggling shareware authors that make their money exactly that way] but that's a different story).
How are shareware authors different? Not in any significant way I can see. My business sells software, just like Adobe or Apple or any of the big boys. The difference is only in the size of the company.
She isn't answering her phone right now. Go figure.
Let's see if she calls back.

It's almost certainly a trading desk. See pic 3 and -14 a big open room with phones on every desk, people waving hands in the background, and that dude in 3 has the look of a deranged risk manager. Note that there are no terminals on the desks, those are probably phone systems for easy access to floor traders and brokers. see pic 11- stock symbols for Texaco, Royal Dutch, and Marathon Oil, and EPS=Earnings Per Share. Y69- year 1969. I'm too lazy to go back and confirm quarterly earnings for 1969.
Yes, orientated is a word, unfortunately. You used it incorrectly. It refers to objects. You should have used oriented, which can be used to describe purpose.
To me, a native 'mercan English speaker, 'orientated' sounds like a mouthbreather attempting to sound intelligent by tacking on suffixes; e.g., capitalistic or socialistic. Perhaps that drew the cringe.

Two main desktop OSs use it: WinNT/2k, and MacOS X, built on the Mach kernel.
In fact, the first Linux distro I used (and still run on a Radius 8100 clone) was running on top of a Mach kernel: MkLinux. Shame that MkLinux development stalled. The project could've accomplished some way cool stuff. The Linux kernel was implemented as a virtual server above the Mach kernel and in theory you could've run mulitple instances of the Linux server.
