That is not supported. Although gcc 2.95.x was the "official" compiler for Linux back in the 2.4.x days, 3.x is now what we need to be using. Granted, Linux wouldn't exist if a few brave souls didn't depart from what is considered "supported."
It depends on what you care about. To a software freedom advocate, you're correct, but to an anti-Microsoftie, you're not. The latter position is not as silly as you might think; many people think that closed source software is not a problem until it gets abused and the consumer gets screwed, and for that reason it is more important to topple Microsoft than to topple proprietary software.
Part of me is with you on this one, though. I'm really just saying that "Anti-Microsft" isn't a completely baseless position to take.
I agree for musical scores, who's quality is in the music itself, but good bands will never be replaced because most 20th centry (and on) music stemming from the blues is totally performance-centric. The music is the same every time; it's the performance that really counts.
Vocals, guitars, and drums are easy enough (theoretically) to emulate, but incredibly difficult to emulate well.
By good music I mean NOT that generic top-40 garbage you hear today labeled as "alternative."
This:
When I read it (the headline) I assumed it was just another bunch of wack-jobs like the Ralians again, but in fact this really has nothing to do with actual human cloning except in the eyes of crazy fundies like Bush.
And:
/. Has so many intelligent posters, and the site does nothing but ignore them.
I agree that many people on the right have an obstinate and uneducated viewpoint about stem cell research, but Bush has not made any statements about this, so you're just putting words in his mouth. I like intelligent discussion too, and that means I think we should stop name-calling.
Which really sucks, since it seems that those people mostly fall into about the bottom 1/3rd intelligence/knowlageablility bracket of posters on here.
Again with name-calling and issues with intelligence. If you want/. to be a better site, I say fill it with comments that don't put yourself on a pedestal. This isn't a comment directed at you, per se, but it's an attitude I perceive commonly among/. complaint posts.
I'm not going to get into how that influences political debate (you know, "I'm on the Correct Side and those idiots on the Other Side are just too stupid to 'get it;'" or, "they're more power hungry than the people on My Side"), but remember even if we don't have the power to edit stories that get posted, we can point out the factual errors in the comments section, which is just as good, if you evaluate the quality of a story with both the content and the comments. Just because we don't vote for submissions doesn't mean this isn't a community driven site.
Yes, such tactics are easy to stop. REALLY easy. I mean, when you see someone put up a pylon near your minerals after 2 minutes has passed, along with a forge, you know you're not in for much of a fight. BUT, I really prefer playing more skilled opponents. Alas, if I still had my Brood War CD...
I totally disagree. Once you got good at Starcraft, you could defend any rush, and folks that tried it got screwed in the end because of their overdedication to early units. Rushing only worked on newbies.
The missions were pointless. That's what Battle.net was for. That's where the strategy was.
Starcraft balanced recourse gathering, unit and building production, expansion, technological progression, and battle tactics in a clear and elegant way.
In my opinion the only problem with Starcraft was people's tendency to play games with lots of resources (think Big Game Hunters) and sit behind defenses and build carriers. It made it hard to find a game with decent players:)
Who says that the corporations run the government? Is that a fact you're sure of? IF that were the case, I would feel obliged to revolt. With what evidence would you have me to believe this unspoken assumption?
Guess what, businesses prosper when citizens have liberties. One company might make profit over the Government contracting them to assist in dismantling liberties, but many other make their living off of it. Media giants, as bad as they are (and they are bad), wouldn't thrive if it weren't for the right to say anything you'd like, including speak out against the government.
This country isn't all poor and a few super-rich; there are many in the middle to upper middle class that constitute a huge commercial purchasing block. Say goodbye to that revenue if freedom goes.
Yes, but compare that to the MATRIX bill. The grandparent was quick to point out the real "cause" behind civil liberty infrigement, and I still maintain that his point was ridiculous.
I live in Austin, but my route is the one going the "other way."
I'm not doubting that automatics are sophisticated, powerful pieces of equipment. I'm saying that their function replaces the role of an even more sophisticated, powerful piece of equipment, and doesn't offer anything NEW in return.
This is probably not the best thing for the clutch, but I just briefly release the clutch to the friction point and move forward. I don't get in to gear fully, so I don't kill the engine, but I move forward a tad bit.
The difference in speed between a walking pace and a driving pace is so significant that it fundamentally alters your transportation capabilities. It is feasible to live further than 5-10 miles to work, for example. You get no such capabilities from this device.
Funny; doesn't bother me one bit. I guess I don't get into too many traffic jams...
I'll trade the convenience of being able to shift at will (I never know if it's safe to go from "drive" to "driven" where n is a seeminly random number from like 1 to 4), less wear and tear on the breaks, infrequent transmission work, better gas mileage, etc. for a little bit more work (though shifting does become 'automatic' from the driver's perspective) when things get slow.
That argument doesn't make any sense. A combustion engine gives you a capability you don't have already; i.e. moving really fast. Having a computer park for you is not giving you a new capability; unless you count being able to use both hands while you back in.
I'll keep my manual windows, manual locks, manual transmission vehicle thank you. I like software a lot, but I certainly don't let it take over driving.
I guess learning how to do things on your own is going the way of the do-do bird, so to speak.

Xouvert is not a new subsystem.

I apologize for the misunderstanding.
Trepanning? As in let in the bad air out of the skull and let in the fresh air? Comon....you can't be serious...

Maybe he meant a distro using glibc built against 2.6.x, with NTPL? That's not even out yet; only in cvs.
You're talking about game selection not gaming ability.

This is just self-important posturing.

Please. What interest do corporations have in removing our liberties? That doesn't even make sense.

You don't think the difference between moving at walking speed and driving speed is as significant as parking in 5 seconds versus, say, 10?
I'll trade the convenience of being able to shift at will (I never know if it's safe to go from "drive" to "driven" where n is a seeminly random number from like 1 to 4), less wear and tear on the breaks, infrequent transmission work, better gas mileage, etc. for a little bit more work (though shifting does become 'automatic' from the driver's perspective) when things get slow.
However, the park-for-you thing doesn't give you anything you couldn't do before.
That argument doesn't make any sense. A combustion engine gives you a capability you don't have already; i.e. moving really fast. Having a computer park for you is not giving you a new capability; unless you count being able to use both hands while you back in.
THAT is the price you pay for having the rolling up done for you.

The grandparent didn't replace that text at all. The parent is a replacement text troll TROLL.
You just know that's hitting a homeland defense computer search right about....
