Not to mention it was translated to both types of Norwegian before Basque was even considered. This is rather funny seeing as Norwegian speakers can easily adapt to the other type of Norwegian without any hassle...
Basque on the other hand is one of Europe's few isolated languages with over half a million speakers they probably out-number the speakers of one the smaller Norwegian dialect, and don't really have any other languages that are close enough to "substitute" in the lack of their own version...
well eventhough the computers are zillion times faster, the datastructures they have to deal with have gotten zillion times bigger and/or more complex. Solving algorithm-deficiencies by throwing more iron at it is a short-term solution that is bound to come back and bite you in the tail sooner or later.
Learn to write safe C and make sure your algorithms are sound and healthy.
Trying to secondguess what the OP meant (ofcourse influenced by my own opinion), every bug or patch isn't really slashdot-worthy. This one certainly ain't groundbreaking news...
to be technically correct, a 64k would stream over a 28.8 just as slow as anything else...
Firstly the modem doesn't get faster because the content is smaller, and secondly streaming sort of implies just showing output and not copying the actual executable. A 64k demo is just as intensive as any other program in the same resolution/refresh...
what about making the car chassis the antenna. Riding a car wrapped in aluminiumfoil would probably attract unwanted attention?
Further a clause about willfully trying to deceive the company voids the insurance pretty much covers most possibilities. It's not like it's cool OR smart to drive without being insured and if you really don't want to have your insurancebroker have the possibilities to monitor your movements... get a the good oldfashioned carinsurance without GPS...
I've also got an IBM lappie and yep, I had to pay MS-tax, no way they could deliver without it...
lm_sensors has some wacky problem so it erases the bios or something when tried (that's why they now check if you have an IBM motherboard in lm_sensors).
Suspend-to-disk is also possible to get working, but it's rather a lot of work and a tiny bit of black magic, and involves fat-partitions...
Another good reason to carry the SD (silenced) version of the MP5, as anybody who has every heard a shot go off at short distance in a confined space will tell you, is that it's detrimental to all the bystanders hearing. Even silenced weapons make quite a lot of noise if you don't expect (or feel comfortable around) gunfire. The sacrifice in muzzle velocity isn't too bad with the MP5 either, considering it's already pretty poor practical range...
Well if microsoft continues along their current trackrecord their new "standard" is unlikely to be available to any competitors and will probably include so much technology lock-in that it would rule out any competition.
This is turn would hurt the customers of any company when the web turns even less standardised than it is today.
This webpage can only be viewed with microsoft technology is coming to a site near you!
Kinda remember a discovery program a few years back that with some dubious evidence claimed that the US government had moved everything interesting out of Area-51 and up north to a new "UFO-base".
Can't remember where they moved it though, and not the name of the program, so in reality it's just a speculation on my part;-)
but who says gcc is equally efficient on both PPC and x86? It might be for all I know, but it's certainly more likely that it's gcc being a troll rather that the actual mach kernel being slow...
There are two kinds of truths, somebody's truth, and _the_ truth...
In the extremely rare case they match, you could say that somebody is telling the truth, but with the normal deviating version of the truth you should always take into consideration whos truth you are listening to...
converting from one lossy format to another is a horrible solutions, if a solution at all. It's a kludge, and a pretty bad one, too.
It would be relatively trivial for apple to implement support for other codecs, given that their code doesn't look like dogshit. I'm pretty sure it's not a technical decision, but rather a purely political one.
apart from the fact that apple usually keeps all upcomming upgrades to them selves leaving it up to their customers (and resellers) to secondguess when the next Gx is coming out. This coupled with their wonkey pricing-strategy pretty much scares both customers and resellers alike.
If customers could walk in to a local store, feel and try the machine before they buy it, and then be pretty sure that it wouldn't be 2 weeks before apple decides to launch the next upgraded mac pushing all the others down one notch on their pricing scheme leaving the customer feeling tricked. I have several friends who've spent more than a monthly salary getting the biggest alu powerbook just to find out that 2 months later apple has released a better one for the same price sending the one they payed through the nose for down to the price of the (previously) second best pb. Of course this happens in to all kinds of computerequipment, prices change rapidly. Everywhere else however, you usually get an advance warning and price don't change by thousands over night...
Performance of the compiler is probably more guilty when it comes to overall performance than the kernel. Further you are comparing apples with oranges comparing a Mac to a PC when it comes to compiling...
a decent IMAP implementation (not that I can think of any that is decent and useable from a user perspective) should allow you to choose which boxes you want to subscribe to (ie. which ones it should check on connection).
It still amazes me that there still aren't any really killer IMAP-implementations around yet. They all seem to suffer from different problems making them annoying to use in the long run.
Of course they ought not to be in the IPv6 stack. Unless they populate packets as formatted strings.
It would make more sense to use a sprintf, or even more sense to use a stack-safe function...
In the same way getting a 3rd party browser doesn't make sense to me. When I roam around and find myself destined to sit behind a windows machine, the first thing I do is figure out how to SSH into a friendly box. That's how I do my business, mail, news, etc. Going out and getting a 3rdparty client isn't always an option, policies, rules and regulations usually try to stop users from installing things therefore an included client would make sense. I'm more productive with ssh than solitaire.exe...
Slashdot Mirror
getting off topic here, but what happens to your "modifications" when you sell your house?
Caveat emperor?

Didn't the aussies learn anything from the little Rabbit escapade
it's always uncool to run unknown commands that you've seen on slashdot ;-)
