All work generates net heat. It's not a theory. So, yeah, ANYTHING we do generates more heat, including doing work to remove heat from places we like to live in.
The body is very complicated and various diseases and illnesses illicit the same symptoms (headache, fever anybody?). Somebody correct me (please), but from what I can tell, the secret is that doctors also don't know what the fuck is going on most of the time, so each patient is essentially an "experiment", which is why you have to take 2 aspirin and call in the morning instead of just taking it and assuming it solved the problem. A lot of diagnosis relies on the history of diseases in a given geographic location. Present the same symptoms to some doctor on the other side of the globe, and they may tell you you have some completely different disease, local to their area.
"We don't need to dump tons of resources into it, because the situation will correct itself automatically."
Sure. It will "correct itself" by European and Japanese companies who will have already invested in alternative technologies. Do you want us to be importing all this stuff, or to cultivate a domestic alternative energy economy ourselves? Just because "someone" will inevitably solve the problem (given that you even agree on that) is no reason not to start early. Why not do it now instead of some other time when somebody might have us by the short curlies?
There is a lot of hype about the McDonalds' scalding coffee case. No one is in favor of frivolous cases of outlandish results; however, it is important to understand some points that were not reported in most of the stories about the case. McDonalds coffee was not only hot, it was scalding -- capable of almost instantaneous destruction of skin, flesh and muscle. Here's the whole story....
A vascular surgeon determined that Liebeck suffered full thickness burns (or third-degree burns) over 6 percent of her body, including her inner thighs, perineum, buttocks, and genital and groin areas. She was hospitalized for eight days, during which time she underwent skin grafting. Liebeck, who also underwent debridement treatments, sought to settle her claim for $20,000, but McDonalds refused....
McDonalds also said during discovery that, based on a consultants advice, it held its coffee at between 180 and 190 degrees fahrenheit to maintain optimum taste. He admitted that he had not evaluated the safety ramifications at this temperature. Other establishments sell coffee at substantially lower temperatures, and coffee served at home is generally 135 to 140 degrees.
Further, McDonalds' quality assurance manager testified that the company actively enforces a requirement that coffee be held in the pot at 185 degrees, plus or minus five degrees. He also testified that a burn hazard exists with any food substance served at 140 degrees or above, and that McDonalds coffee, at the temperature at which it was poured into styrofoam cups, was not fit for consumption because it would burn the mouth and throat. The quality assurance manager admitted that burns would occur, but testified that McDonalds had no intention of reducing the "holding temperature" of its coffee.
You can investigate the per-child MPM to fork as different user ids but I don't think this alone is a complete solution. You probably don't want 20,000 system accounts ANYWAY.
Apache and mod_dav will solve most of the problem but there are several real-world concerns I realize are probably not interesting to people who just want to quip about how easy a throw-junk-together solution is.
* if you have thousands and thousands of potential users system accounts and groups are a no-go, there needs to be an automated solution. * if you want to allow users to share content with OTHER users, again, you have to think of groups and permissions and provide some interface for users to manage their own content and permissions * you need to potentially tie quota and billing into this (and again, if you don't use system accounts you need a seperate way to manage quotas)
Even if the answer is use OSS X Y Z to do this, you still have to glue it all together with custom scripts and whatnot, so the question of whether there is an existing project that provides this out of the box is still relevant.
WTH. The ISO is just an (non-bootable!) Centos install CD (probably modified). It would help if there was a standalone package or something. Is there some way I can extract the freaking disk image layout from the install CD?
But what about the JSF... as a taxpayer it seems to make much more sense to have 10 JSFs than 2 F-22s, no matter how good they are. The Discovery (or was it History) channels speciel on the Boeing vs. Lockheed competition for JSF was very interesting. The JSF VTOL is awesome.
I never really bought the "social skills" bunk. I think chitchat and small talk is useless and stupid so I usually don't engage in it. Does this mean I don't have "social skills"? As long as you are articulate, and unless you are in public relations, fuck "social skills".
When you change to "view source" mode, all of a sudden you lose your tabs in the tabbed pane (e.g. if you had multiple documents open, the tabs just disappear).
Also, the tabs on the bottom are very... "weird". When selected, a tab doesn't just "come to the front", it inverts upside down as if the selection process "flipped" the tab. That certainly is not in keeping with any other interface, or indeed the real world equivalent of the tab metaphor.
Except, once I "hack" the music, I never have to contact the distributor in any way, so I can't really be "banned" from that point on, where I could be on online games which require me to contact and rely on third parties which can ban/terminate me.
"The kernel will continue to adhere to the GPL, as will other major components (think Samba, Apache, etc.) with their respective licenses. But I think that nearly all Red Hat development will be in the closed source arena."
So What.
If they are still abiding by the law, let them sell whatever they want. Hipsters may not like Red Hat simply because it has the most mindshare (and market share?) but who cares. If you don't like Red Hat proprietary software, just don't buy it, the same as you do for any other type of proprietary software you don't like. Red Hat is already being undercut by all the "White Box Linux"s and "Pink Derby"s and "Tofu Sandwich Linux"s. If you judge only by actions, I think you have to believe Red Hat has done a hell of a lot of good for the community and hasn't asked much (anything?) for it.
Actually, I am not aware of any high-level "curriculum" of the/concepts/ per-se, except maybe something like J2EE design patterns or something (which willl no doubt describe the concepts and also be applicable to languages like PHP, etc.).
The thing to nail home is:
* impedence mismatch between display (usually HTML + CSS, perhaps originating from serverside XML+XSLT), transport (HTTP, blocking/synchronous protocol), business logic (typically some general purpose language like Java), and database (e.g. SQL) languages.
* different strategies for composing the middle tier: various flavors of MVC (jsp/php, jsp/php with "controller", pure "controller" (or framework) with templating engine, or direct XML+XSLT transformation); not to mention the business logic tier (either combined or glossed over for anything but the largest applications)
* the different skills and aptitudes required to tie this all together (all the technolgoies, frameworks, configuration and deployment steps, etc.)

Sorry Officer, I cannot tell you exactly how fast I was going...

Sounds nice, but are there any screenshots, or some more conventional downloadable binary or source package, instead of a boot disk ISO?

Two other things:
When you change to "view source" mode, all of a sudden you lose your tabs in the tabbed pane (e.g. if you had multiple documents open, the tabs just disappear).
Also, the tabs on the bottom are very... "weird". When selected, a tab doesn't just "come to the front", it inverts upside down as if the selection process "flipped" the tab. That certainly is not in keeping with any other interface, or indeed the real world equivalent of the tab metaphor.
Yes. But it will definitely NOT serve Freedom Fries.
Except, once I "hack" the music, I never have to contact the distributor in any way, so I can't really be "banned" from that point on, where I could be on online games which require me to contact and rely on third parties which can ban/terminate me.

You realize that means we will have 100 years of protection also for Britney Spears? PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

You can say the same for electricity. Or gasoline. Or plastic. So...are we "addicted" to those too?
