But what we are discussing is having a set of drivers today. I'm certain that the r300 project will be wonderful when it is ready, but I would have to question the motives of anyone who included such an unstable video driver in an end-user distribution meant for gamers.
Aa project under development it's great. As something to look forward to in the future it's fine, but if I was trying to push GNU/Linux as a stable, reliable operating system that can do everything That Other OS can, I would want to wait until the programmers have a tiny bit more confidence in their code.
I understand that this is a paid slashvertisement, but what exactly is new about this? Did the idea of online ordering and delivery ever leave? I have been able to place online orders from a number of restaurants for years.
Are we going to be shocked by the amazing new discovery of a restaurant with salt and pepper on every table next?
[...] do you really want to spend the next 8 hours walking your friend through downloading and compiling packages, kernel modules, or hunting around for software to accomplish the task?
That seems unnecessarily complicated. If I was going to do that I would rather use ssh to establish a remote connection and then do the upgrades myself in a lot less time.
Part of the reason for this is the scope of Disney's deal with Ghibli. As I understand it they were granted North American distribution rights for the films but not merchandising rights.
This means that we were saved from the Totoro Happy Meal and Howl's Moving Action Figures, but it also encouraged Disney to overpromote schlock like Treasure Planet which they could cash in on while burying films like Spirited Away in a dozen theatres across the continent with next to no promotion.
While that, combined with a strict "No-you-can't-edit-it-it's-mine" clause, has probably saved the world from seeing horribly bastardized versions of some very good films, it also means that much of the North American audience was never given much of an opportunity to see them at all.
Actually, they were hiring you for your ability to work at RIM. If you can't even show a little grace when faced with a few simple puzzles in an interview, what good would you be when faced with a real challenge?

"Does your little problem involve multiplying large numbers or any kind of crypto-math?"
"No, I just thought you could take a look at --"
"Figures. That's not what I was hired for. Now if you'll excuse me it's 4:59 and I'm going home."
That's the kind of employee I would not want to hire.

Hoochie mama!

Is everybody happy now?
How much did An Anonymous Reader pay for this content-free advertisement?
What, are they wearing dresses now?
That will make our society more polite.
It's still an odd way to spell "Hizouze".
You're right. Nobody would ever do anything like that.
Perhaps after reading some examples of what Indymedia calls journalism they decided that extending journalistic protection to them might be considered insulting to real journalists.

I'm confused. Do I get to keep half of the money if I help you get it out of the country?
The source code on this website may damage your hardware.
It is *UNTESTED* and *BROKEN* !
Or are you thinking of something which a sane person would actually want to use?
But always remember to wait two weeks after any expansion or graphics update before playing.
And its use embiggens us all.
Obviously we haven't been going to the same arcades.
As in "What do you mean that _was_ the backup tape? Fsck! Fsck! Fsck fsck fsck fsck!"
I think what they are doing better than those two companies is buying ad space on the New York Times and /..
Ahhh... Now I understand. It's all being done to help to taxpayers. Just like that big increase in the chocolate ration last week.

On the other hand the "Entry level PC" of ten years ago is the handheld mobile phone of today.

Either that or find a lower maintenance friend.

You win some, you lose some.
Oh wait, it doesn't. Never mind.
Like anonymously flaming complete strangers on Slashdot?
Still conforming, but thinking they're oh-so cutting edge.
Yup, that's them.
