I am not sure about anyone else's experience, but when I was on a residential school network it had all the music, movies and pr0n you could imagine, at FastEthernet speeds no less.
Remove humans from earth and fast forward 5 million years and chimps could very likely evolve into a human-like species (again), but they're nowhere close yet.
Once more, and I hope everyone is paying attention this time - humans did not evolve from apes; apes and humans have common ancestry. "We come from monkeys" is a very inadequate simplification of the theory of evolution.
Something I just realized - I am typing this from my gaming partition, all that's installed here is Win2K, SPs and drivers, Unreal 2003 demo, Warcraft 3 and PuTTY. Seems to be the only app I can't live without:)
Most free software on windows I have interaction with tends to be the likes of Apache, Tomcat, JBoss, NetBeans (I love NetBeans, I'd marry it if it was legal) and um, Perl.
Though I don't think that's quite the niche you are going for...
Yes. But it's technically not free yet. The sources "freeing" ceremony (and I believe the first version distributed as source and builds of it) will be Sunday October 13th. Incidentally, I'll be there in Amsterdam for it.:)
It's been some time since I used the Win32 GIMP port, but then it was a very unpleasant experience - basically it spent more time crashing than working. Maybe it has improved dramatically in that department, I'd love to hear that.
Another great piece of free unix software with an immature win32 port is Xine - I'd give that a look-see as well.
And because each replicates its data set to all other Root servers, catastrophic failure of one would bring down all of the others.
Um, very untrue - the primary root server replicates the data to the rest. If a non-primary root server goes down, you don't notice it. If the primary one goes down, the function is moved to any one of the rest (and you still don't notice it). Basically something like 3 or 4 of them have to go out before Joe InternetUser will notice any effect, and even then it would be somewhat inconvinient, not "catastrohpic". (This is what I rember from some article on the topic awhile back - it's not like I know anything about these things.)
Well, technically, I never said that his grammar was at fault - I pointed out a spelling error (occuring twice, so it's probably not a typo) and lamented the lack of a spelling checker. Rather sarcastically, too.
that distribution names (particularly RH) and Linux are so often used interchangibly (ie "Linux 7.3"), so I make it a point to always refer to the particular distibution by name (eg Gentoo, RedHat, LFS), so this whole GNU/ thing doesn't come up. Well, I guess it does in the case of LFS...
hmm, I am not going to go into WebLogic vs. JBoss (ok, I like JBoss), but it seems your developers are at least used to, or maybe even like WebLogic... how much is your company paying for their time? It's always something to consider.
I have a PC, it's a nice PC, I (sometimes) play games on this PC. If there are no more games for the PC, I won't play any more games - I will neither weep about it, nor buy a console. I don't see what everyone's so worked up about.
PS Incidently, if I no longer play games on it, the PC will continue to be "high end" - only the graphics card will change. For those doing more than office apps, there is still no such thing as "enough" computing power.
But if I had my DNA on file somewhere, just look it up, and the decision is made.
Look up what?? "Ah yes - AGACTGAC, at bp 180,023,982 on chromosome one, this one's a goner I'm afraid."
The medical industry is nowhere near being able to meaningfuly apply individual sequencing data. Especially in any sort of "life or death decision, fast" situation.
I get the odd feeling that most people here have a very vague idea of how these things work in real life...
one of those concepts that sounds really cool, for about 15 minutes... oh and console only (I won't be surprised if we hear that it's going to be on one console only, fairly soon)
that and WC3 is beginning to suck only two days after I bought it... not a good Blizzard week all around.

Hell, I can simulate you into motion for free, by kicking your fat ass off the couch for once.
Um, I didn't read the article, but that's wrong.

That my friend, is statistically impossible, given the current state of affairs.

Napster was a piece of shit - I want an AudioGalaxy.
yes, slashdot moderation has long dictated the purchasing strategy of business users.
Oh, as opposed to "good grammer"? Where's a helpful MS app when you need one...
It's actually GNU/Linux not GNU\Linux, give the forward slash some credit for its work!

I was not aware that Linux is the OS. Operating System has many vague definitions, but "kernel" isn't one of them.
and yet they are frequently answered.
a-fucking-men!

... he got paid to sequence his own. Go figure.
What, fire-breathing and everything? That's far worse than anything I've ever seen from an employer!
If only employees were able to counter with some sort of crypt fiend web ability...

Just registering my disgust on the internet.
