So why don't we use.gz.tar? I'm sure it's a little less efficient, but you gain random access without losing the ability to swap out gzip for bzip2 and tar for... something else.
I think the accepted view is that causality is a property of the universe, not a property external to the universe. Just because we observe a chain of reasons going back as far as we can see, it doesn't mean that the universe had to have a reason, or had to be 'created' - the past tense gives it away.
The question seems as meaningless as 'where does a circle (or infinite line) start' - not with the same answer, i'm not saying time loops around and repeats or goes indefinitely far backwards, just that something that should obviously have a cause doesn't have to. The difference is that causality is so fundamental to our thinking, and to science. Without 'why' or 'how' or 'therefore' being meaningful, you can't reason.
Brazilian representatives refused the offer, because they didn't want poor people to have a second-class computer, as if they were second-class citizens.
With Linux, people have everything: the operating system, OpenOffice, Firefox, Gimp, programming languages and hundreds of useful software.
We don't want to insult you by offering you cut down software with condescending "starter" names. You wanted Paint? It doesn't have that, but feel free to try The Gimp!
There is a lot more than a new gui. Have you used it?
Of course they're talking about consumer operating systems, so there is some hyperbole. But what exactly were you suggesting as an alternative?
Been waiting for this for a while. You don't seem to need windows to play around with it, you can get the installer files for your phone as a zip file, and get an interactive python on your phone. It seems you can also send.py files across via bluetooth and python will pick them up. (Can't test this yet, I broke my bluetooth adapter...)
That's not a flaw - if you trust getfirefox.com to provide you with software, and it says 'redirect to mozilla.org' then surely you trust that reccommendation?
Needless to say, there's no evil_knivel.exe.doc problems on the Mac.
To be fair, such 'vulnerabilities' are likely worse on the mac, since the authoritative type information is not immediately user-visible and you can apply a custom icon to anything.
Not that I'm quite sure why you would disguise a word doc as an executable anyway...
Slashdot Mirror
I hope he's not referring to the power button.
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(s);
You mean static typing, not strong. And how exactly is 'string' documentation?
No, I believe the word is 'common'.

Yes. Slashdot is dying.

Therein lies the problem. They can blow shit up.
I hope that wasn't sarcasm... there was a reason they didn't find any nukes. The UN did their job.
People really believe the "Team America: World Police" bullshit don't they?

Come on, he'd posted about the timeframe before, it wasn't a secret. If the company didn't know, then they didn't deserve to know.
Quake 3 was 1999. Having to delay a source release now because they're licencing the engine is pretty damn amazing.
Credit where credit is due, windows 95/98 are dead because it sucked, and windows 2k/XP/2k3 are much better.
Well, they wouldn't want to have to sue themselves. Although, there's no such thing as bad publicity...
They don't need anti-virus software. They need anti-virus software OR a healthy cynicism when it comes to anti-virus vendors.

Thanks to the wonders of pagerank, give it a couple of hours and you'll see your post, hopefully even my reply ;-)
I'm missing something... grind women up? You're not bitter, are you?

Splash screens are irritating, but in most cases a long delay with no splash screen is worse.
