I agree. Nature will take its own course. We being part of nature, will either have to adapt to a changing environment (which we have done rather well over the past 5,000 years), or die.
The dinosaurs , for some reason unkown to me [i'm not a paleontologist], were unable to adapt. So they died out. Alternatively, you could explain that they did adapt by changing to smaller forms (turtles, birds, lizards, etc.)
Either way, we, too, must adapt. If it means war to kill off a certain percentage of the population, then ok. If it's a strange disease that kills us off, then ok. Those who survive these horrible catastrophes will be responsible for "rebooting" our race.
The idea is that we'll survive. It's not the end of our species. It's the end of our species as we know it (and some feel fine).
So now I wait for nitpick replies to find my bugs and tell me that I'm not using strict and warnings in a one-liner:) [oh and the ones that religiously avoid using backticks for external commands]:)

You don't need GTalk for reminders. It can send SMS to your mobile. It can also send you e-mail reminders. It also sends you a daily digest at 5am for your upcoming day.
You should really check it out again. It's improved even more since Day 0.
It actually runs very slowly. It does a great job in my fairly large open kitchen. But my grandma has a HUUUUGE kitchen+dining+living room all hardwood. The living room itself was so big that we had to break it into two ares with obstacles and other shrapnel available.
It seemed to have some difficulty grokking the room size and did indeed make several passes in places. But it got the job done.
However, twice now it seemed unhappy with the whole "check tank" routine. It whined that it was empty, so I refilled it, but it would never start again. I think I now know it wanted the cleaning solution rather than pure water. Also, I wasn't sure when it stopped if it thought it was done. In my kitchen, it dried the floor well. But at my grandma's place I couldn't tell if it tried to dry the floor or not. No doubt it was probably my inexperience with it, but it seemed somewhat ambiguous to me. I wasn't sure,after the pretty noise and the "check tank" light, if it was whining for more juice, or if it thought it was done.
I'll RTFM again and try to figure it out. Regardless, it was great and made me realize just how nasty my floor was!! Yuck! I'm gonna have to run it two or three times a month I guess.
Can someone put this into more familiar terms such as Libraries of Congress, hogsheads, volkswagens, etc.? I am having a hard time identifying with these contemporary measurements.
I didn't catch that. Did you say "there's no reason to lose data?" This Slashdot, you have repeat yourself at least three times. Two won't do. Remember how it worked out for Dorothy?
Sorry, dude, but Clinton didn't bomb Serbia. NATO did. The US just happened to be a bit part of NATO.
Clinton didn't extend police state for 5+ years after OKC.
Your last paragraph, however despite hyperbole, is a good point. We need a third party, but it would only be carved out of the left side. The right wingers are a unified hell-or-high-water bonded entity that is extremely unlikely to be chipped away. Sad, indeed.
I'm assuming your post refers to a 2.4 kernel? In 2.6 kernels it's actually in/usr/src/linux-2.6.12.3/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c and the comment has been updated to read:/* Increase the timeout each time we retransmit. Note that
* we do not increase the rtt estimate. rto is initialized
* from rtt, but increases here. Jacobson (SIGCOMM 88) suggests
* that doubling rto each time is the least we can get away with.
* In KA9Q, Karn uses this for the first few times, and then
* goes to quadratic. netBSD doubles, but only goes up to *64,
* and clamps at 1 to 64 sec afterwards. Note that 120 sec is

Define "terrorist". That's a subjective label; subject to interpretation and likely distortion.
The US is a terrorist organization when viewed from the perspective of the Muslim parts of the world. The Tamil Tigers are terrorists when viewed from the SEA world (that's, South East Asia, not the theme park in Florida). The guys in Congo (Zaire?) are terrorists when viewed from those unarmed citizens, or rather people being 'killall -9'ed.
See the perversity? (is that a word?... the act of making something perverse..)
Spyglass became Internet Explorer, Colusa became.NET, Sybase was forked/split/something into SQL Server.
Can I go on a limb and say that Excel, (maybe) Word, and MS Mail were originals? Please don't flame me if I'm wrong.
MS Mail was morphed into Exchange 4.0 (yeah a totally different beast, but that was the 'upgrade' path). Oh and of course don't forget DEC's 'domain controller' became part of Windows NT (although I think the originality of NT 3 is arguable as a brainchild of Dave Cutler and the DEC/VMS ordeal).
These guys https://www.imsgc.org/ use Internet2 to zing data for their genetic research. I was at last year's NMSS Research Night and the PhD talked (very excitedly) about the work being done.
The Haplotype Map project http://www.hapmap.org/ also uses Internet2 to share their Haplotype project research.
The two projects above have been working together for years now and have made amazing discoveries with Multiple Sclerosis research. Yes, I have MS and I don't mean Microsoft.
All the data for the IMSGC project is stored at Duke University, and accessed by Boston College, NIH, NMSS, Cambridge UK, and I think Harvard, over Internet2. It's an amazing consortium.
The problem is what happens when AOL decides that you can access CNN with a higher priority over Fox News? Or they segregate access to @att.com e-mail with higher latency or reduced service.
You pay for access to the network through a provider. That provider shouldn't dictate how you traverse to OTHER networks. If networks want better peering to other networks, then that's why we have BGP and let the networks work out the service agreements. But *we* shouldn't have to pay for specialized access. We're paying for access.
That's what the "common carrier" status was all about "back-in-the-day". AT&T has a humongous amount of fiber, cable, wiring, wireless, you name it. Now they can easily say:
"Access to *our* customers is fine and dandy. Oooh but you want to use Google's e-mail service? Well that's ok, too, so long as you can tolerate our 'basic' service at 8.2k/s, or you can purchase our 'enhanced' service for 12.95USD/mo for 96k/s. VOIP to Sprint is gonna have a lot of lag, but VOIP to AT&T customers is crystal clear. But you can purchase our 'enhanced' VOIP service to any other carrier for 29.95USD/mo."
Then why is the ipw2100/2200/2195 driver a huge pile of crap that has to be hacked by a tiny team of people? (despite all having '@intel.com' e-mail addresses). Where is the driver support for this chipset? Where is the almighty Intel? No, I don't think Intel deserves a lot of credit. If they showed any results that came close to their lip service, then I'd rethink.
The original Becker eepro/eepro100 driver stomped all over Intel's own driver. Vendors can't write drivers worth a crap. They make hardware and should toss up the specs to decent hackers. Separation of duties.

Except that wouldn't get them very far, since "Referrer" isn't a header. You might be thinking of "Referer" tho. Blame the W3C people.
yes, but does it run on linux?

feh. It's Google. They can Do No Evil. Besides, they're gonna take over the world, and I'm OK with that.
I didn't see the commercials because I have a TiVo.

Holy sticky feet, Batman!
So now all those scenes of Batman and Robin scaling those buildings can now be a reality. Nice.
Actually, "mobi" is four letters, so it's really an "even length".
Hey maybe Moby could get in on this action? moby.mobi ?
Or how about dick.mobi?

Windows itself was a spin-off of OS/2.
Anyone else have additions to the list?
