Yes, this is actually pretty funny (at least in retrospect). I was backpacking through Malaysia earlier this year and even when you found a "western toilet" (ie not just a hole in the ground) there still wouldn't be any toiletpaper in the TP-holder. Also there would be water all over the floor and seat and so on.
I use Linux 99% of the time so even though I dont do alot of text editing/spreadsheets I need something like StarOffice. BUT, for christ sake!, must it be so slooooow on my otherwise spiffy 1.7GHz Gentoo box??
1. There are three kinds of people - those who can count and those who cant. 2. There are 10 kinds of people - those who know binary and those who dont.
But you're quite right, I guess I must be a cheeky monkey.:)
--------------- There are 10 kinds of people - those who know how this joke really goes, and those who dont.
This year, they aren't even trying and even worse, they're posting dupes!
The slashdot people dont wanna arouse any unnecessary suspicion by NOT posting dupes. --------------------- There are 11 kinds of people - those who know binary and those who dont.
She actually often has many valid points - its just that if you're just a little bit geeky (like me) you think she's complaining about trivial things. She also has problems laying out her complaints in a objective-sounding way.
For those of you who have used all of them, I'm sorry.
1. Are you sorry because, for people who have used all of them, this is is a boring story, or 2. Are you just plain sorry for people who have used all of them?
Oh thats just Great! How long do you think it'll be before we have a story on the/. frontpage "Webserver in ass" now? And oh yeah, there will be screens too.

It only make sense to solve a problem on as high level as possible while still getting a satisfactory result. Scripting is on a higher level since it uses more of the system at hand. "Ordinary" programming is on a lower level and therefor (most of the time) more efficient but it takes more time to write it. So if you don't need the extra performance; go scripting!
Using -march=i686 like you do only gives a 2% performance increase.
So a 2% performance increase on a 2 million dollar computer is'nt worth that much you mean? After all, that's what this discussion actually should be/is about.
Im not bashing it or trying to be cool. Im a long time Mandrake user (altough I recently switched to Source Mage) which in my eyes is as "(un)cool" as RH. It's just that I believe that when you spend so much money on a computer system you would actually WANT to compile/tweak everything to make every MHz count. And that is not what RH is best for.
SicariusMan: Thank goodness for the CrossOver Plugin.
Me: My goodness! There's so many ads and "Friendly Reminder Screens" (What so friendly about them andway?) that you can hardly call it a even demo version.
Slashdot Mirror
Anyone known if this release fixes the march=pentium4 bug that exists in 3.2.x?
Check your own boxen with:
# python -c 'int(10000.3);'
Yeah I also read Orgasms and Math. But I wasn't suprised, I thought it was a followup (or prequel?) to The Mathematics of Marriage.
Basic rule: Never use a dynamic model where a static will do.
For example:
Frequency (f) of intercourse per week (x) after marriage: f(x) = 3/x.

Yes.. that would be the goat-link. We dont like that one.
It's actually easier (unless you have a very heavy pan, or geeky small /.-muscels) to flip the entire pan _with_ the pancake still innit.

So that's disagreeing 100% eh?

This sig is not recursive.
You can always buy a bunch of these and attach them to a stick. Voi'la! You have your own unique handy-man portable scanner.

Am I the only one who think it sounds like a bad idea performance-wise running RH on this monster?
The "bug" is there even if you open and go back in a different tab/window. Try it out and youll se.

In layman's terms, for every possible decision that can be made, the universe branches out into many universes...
Does this mean that the, in our eyes, impossible decisions aren't made? -"Hey is that Jessica Simpson on the cover of GiantHooters(tm)?"
The first is our modern day society, and the second is a parallel universe where Neanderthals and mammoths prospered while we perished.
I see it before me:
Modern Man is born in the days of the cave man - "Shit! Where is my Palm Pilot? I'm dead before the night is here!"
