...and then when you delete/opt/appfoo, coincidentally the only app that uses libfoo, you end up with an unused.so in/opt/libfoo. You may not find this a major problem, but it definitely falls under the same category of leaving an orphaned config file in/etc, or some orphaned data in/var. Sure your system has cleaned up better, but it's not cleaned up fully.
That does indeed make removing a lot easier, but it would also restrict your options regarding partitioning, say. Not a big deal for me, but it is for some.
Also, you'd still end up with dot-files and folders under ~ for your personal configs that would need manually removing (though this is less annoying than leaving the entire apps and global config files).
It also removes the "shared" aspect of.so files.
Yes. You're missing the basic fucking intelligence required to read the actual article, preferring instead to take a 1 paragraph summary of a 10 page story and then complain that it doesn't seem to offer a complete picture.
I also enjoy this act, and have no problem finding girls who let me perform it on them. My problem is that I'm just not very good at it - do you have any tips?
Even if you could solve TSP in polynomial time on a quantum computer, it still wouldn't show that P=NP as the machine would be nondeterministic. The goal of quantum computers is to sidestep the NP issue, not reduce it to P.
I do remember my 40MB drive running really slowly at times as it tried to write on the not-totally-fucked-but-still-pretty-messed-up blocks surrounding bad blocks. I solved the problem by going into Norton, moving round the disk with the cursor keys, and manually marking blocks as bad.
That ain't the sort of thing that would even occur to me as possible these days.
I'm not sure there's a problem - this is how things should be. No, come back, I'm serious!
The modern world is completely founded on contracts of one form or another - an EULA being an example of such a contract. Now this case is clearly ridiculous, and as such I fully expect the challenge to fail (and further could set interesting precedents regarding the reach of EULAs). BUT the company should have the right to bring the challenge, and should be heard by a judge.
You cannot just wave your hands at something that sounds ridiculous and then refuse to hear it, because you certainly will end up ignoring meritous cases.
covers some of the differences between the truly open XML found in OpenOffice.org 2.0, and the closed MS Word ML
Am I missing something here? He doesn't seem to cover any of the differences other than restating that OOo XML is "more open". MS may as well post a rebuttal stating that MS XML is better because it leverages more synergies.
No, they paid 4.5 times more for legally downloaded music. This study doesn't take into account the amount spent on music in general including physical CDs, and as such the correlation could only apply to downloads, and that opens the door for all sorts of non-causal relationships.
For example, aren't filesharers likely to more strongly represent the tech savvy demographic? And wouldn't people who often swap MP3s be more likely to be happy to listen to MP3s rather than physical CDs?
Yes, it does. Don't think of web apps in the context of Gmail (which seems to be everyone's favourite example at the moment). Think of MSHTML as being a deployment environment for a thin (but rich) client.
I've written an app that must have a zero install footprint because of where it is to be deployed. That doesn't mean they can only install a small plugin, that means they cannot install anything at all. The solution is to have the app served as an HTA from the webserver - but in every other respect the app looks, performs, and is used as if it were a full client-side app.
Now fortunately, this particular app never needs refreshing; hence no problem with leaks. But it's entirely feasible that a similar app could be refreshed regularly - see previous comments for people who've run into this problem on a page that refreshes every 15 seconds.
If someone got hold of your print, what could they do with it? Nothing.
The only reason you'd not want your thumbprint on file is in case the police got hold of it and put it on record - and then you'd only really need to be worried if you planned to commit a crime; for non-criminals there's really nothing to worry about.

You know there's a dropdown at the top of every comments page that lets you view comments in both of the ways you suggested, right?

In case you don't get it, what he's saying is that Windows is insecure!

You realise that by its very definition, the uplink capacity can never match the downlink capacity using ADSL?
Quite right! In fact, we should all celebrate when new vulnerabilities are found in software we use - the more vulnerabilities we find the better!
If we discover 1000 root exploits per month in Linux, for example, just imagine how secure that makes the operating system!
It's pure, simple logic.
One could say the same about Firefox's apparent refusal to implement VML.

I'm sitting with 2 separate S/PDIF connectors in front of me, both over fibre. An EMU 1820m, for what it's worth.
Maybe you're just ugly?
No.
You've not been around Slashdot much, have you?

Does next generation mean it'll support copy and paste?
This is not even the first open source software they have produced.
