I have developed a password that I use on systems I can control that consists of 13 characters, both letters and numbers, and a & sign in for good measure. It makes perfect sense to me, I will NEVER forget this password, and you would litterally have to be able to read my mind in order to guess it. But most systems wont accept it for whatever reason or another, so I vary it slightly to conform to whatever rules are in effect. This creates a problem of about 5 variations of what I want my password to be.
pussies&beer ?
even the the two mooses in Brother Bear (who do kinda look a little like Bob & Doug MacKenzie).
That's actually Rick Moranis and some other semi famous guy whose name I can't remember.
On the good side, their menu system beats em all hands down.
Are you kidding me ??? My in-laws have direct TV, I'm not impressed. The (at least) basic programming is practically nothing but eastcoast/westcoast public stations. The menu system on dish network is at least as good as on direct TV, plus you get a tuner in the menu so you don't have to stop watching TV in order to change the channel.
Actually, as I tried to load slashdot this afternoon, it appeared to have been slashdotted, or fubu'd by some jr sysadmin. I got a 500 server error that said to send a report to pater@slashdot.org instead of webmaster which I found kinda entertaining.
Fortran is still around in scientific applications and probably will be for some time to come. To write parallel code in C you need to manage the threads yourself. In fortran, you compile, set some environment variables and you're running multiple threads...Of course, I'd take the ugliness of pthreads over the ugliness of fortran any day.
Actually, what the entertainment industry really wants is something ala a clockwork orange where you're stuck in from of the tv with an apparatus attached to your face to prevent you from closing your eyes during commercial breaks.
So he won't give a speech for a non gnu/linux group because of their name, but he'll do an editorial for linuxworld.com. Perhaps he should have asked them to change their domainname to gnulinux.com:)
The OS in any type of environment has to do one thing, that being interface with the hardware. The amount amount and type of hardware that the OS needs to be able to manipulate will vary, but the purpose is the same.
The applications available/required will also vary, but since MS has wedged them into the OS, I suppose that could blur the picture in the case of windows.
by the nature of open source, what's the point ? I mean if I want to continue running it, I'll just code out the expiration part. As I'm writing this though, I suppose it's probably easier to update rather than hacking the code.
It seems rather lame though, if the software has been free from issues to make the user be proactive about going and disabling this.
Or, how about some got being splattered with windows logo colored paint by a geek that looks suspiciously similar to Bill Gates, and then a giant penguin comes and pecks Bill's eyes out and saves the day.
Okay so Plan 9 is cool. Useful ? Probably not as it doesn't have any support or applications of note.
Where as Linux is a poorer OS from a next gen perspective but has the applications and support.
OS/390 is old school but has great memory management, io and SMP etc.
The first two are already open source
The last question in the interview is about the license, in which he states it is _not_ open source.

I see you missed the earlier article about glue based on mussel snot, I would think the solution is obvious

I thought that at first too, but there's a link at the bottom of the page to the tests. Although even that is not exactly chock-full-o-data.
Presumably your from address is valid though.

They are vector processors, which means they are optomized for operating on matrices.

This goes some way to explaining examples that are considered to defy standard evolutionary theory, such as the Bombardier Beetle."
Yet another example that defies evolutionary theory, Cmdr Taco

Only now they're co-mingling hardware too, not just software.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to co-mingle with myself

They're legal to posess in Arizona, at least they used to be. There was a store in Tucson called secret agent headquarters that sold them.

She should have scheduled the presentation for 5/16 instead of 5/15 to coincide with the release of attack of the clones
thank you very much, I'll be here all week.

:) Unless time suddenly started moving backward, or cnet hired some editors away from slashdot
of a Unix market that
shrank 18.7 percent from
$25.3 billion in 2001 to
$20.6 billion in 2000
That looks like growth to me

Is it Primary Colours by any chance?
Yes it is.
Who the hell modded this up ?! The article talked to someone at netscape and they admitted collecting data.

I thought windows was based on an old BSD unix anyway, at least the TCP/IP component.
Umm, read the link please. Be retained the right to antitrust lawsuits against a certain company.
Hold your horses, I guarantee .NET will some day run on the Mac OS and Linux. If Mono doesn't make it happen, Microsoft will.
HaHaHaHa, I'm laughing so hard, I have to pee now.
