In fact, these bacteria usually do us good. An example is on our hands, where antibacterial soap is a health hazard. The reason is that the "good bacteria", (ie the non harmful stuff) actually competes for food (mmm, sweat) with the harmful bacteria, making it hard for harmful bacteria to grow in numbers.
The action of antibacterial soap kills all bacteria, leaving an equal playing field. Not so good.
We have to use it at our university. It humbles our 1Ghz machines, they feel like the old p100 that we threw out years ago.
It mucks with windows's networking too. Win98 doesnt think TCP/IP exists, which is a little sucky. It means that IE can't do SSL. Use netscape, perhaps... Ahh!! but since win4Lin only lets you have 64Mb RAM in your windows session, it's waaaaaaay to sloooooow to reaaaaaally be used. It also means any network drives are implemented in Linux NFS rather than with windows, all very well, except windows doesnt know they are network drives. So it looks at all the childrens' children in windows explorer to determine whether to display a + beside the folder. Very slow indeedio.
And if it were at all possible, windows is very unstable on it. Apps crash left right and centre, and the operating system itself doesnt fare much better.
There are penguins native to New Zealand waters too. I have even seen penguins in the Auckland harbour, when out kayaking in it. Just little ones, very cute. They look like ducks, and are about the same size, though they do have front flippers.
Take a large class of students, and ask them to come up with any two whole numbers. The probability that any two numbers are relatively prime is related to pi. So you work out the proportion p of people with relatively prime numbers, and then pi = sqrt( 6/p ), IIRC.
Not terribly accurate, but experimental mathematics is very interesting.
Dont you just love the feeling that that little phone by your reproductive bits is blasting away as hard as it can because it got surrounded by metal, and now it's all reflecting around back at you?
Mmmm, my lunch wasnt cooked when i brought it in with me this morning....
... handguns, alarms and mace (after all, those are the people interested in protection)
Handguns arent about protection. If they were, then why on earth would countries with the lowest number of guns have the fewest gun deaths, and those with the most guns have the most deaths?
There's no enjoyment in a job where you have to put out fires for 200+ people a day because they're too fucking stupid to figure out simple shit for themselves
Dude, if they could, you wouldnt have a job. Oh wait...
Dont know about the US, but in NZ, if they have advertised a price, then the retailer must honour it, even in the case they have put up an "oops we stuffed up" sign. I was an underling at a large retail store when i was younger, and had to let several products be sold at far below what they were intended.
Consider the fact that if a vendor is forced to take liability for its Zapwicky Mark II. It uses some free software internally, this is known, nothing untoward is happening. The problem is the vendor is itself taking on liability for the free software. If i were making the decision on what to include in the distribution, that in itself would be reason to abandon the use of free software, and choose something proprietry that if there were problems, liability can be "passed on".
My work PC has a TNT2 M64. It runs Unreal Tournament just fine, thank you very much. My home has a Geforce2 MX, now that's what I call a fire-breather.
Here, all DSL modems must go through Telecom's networks, as they own the lines, the exchanges, everything. You always pay around NZ$30 (around US$13) per month for the privilege of a DSL enabled line. The remaining NZ$35 or so you pay to whomever your ISP is, which is for many people Xtra. This gives you a 128kb connection, (in theory) unlimited traffic.
It seems Xtra has done this throttling, but that won't cause problems for those of us who dont you use Xtra (that's me!). It seems silly to say "people are using too much bandwidth, so rather than capping bandwidth (like most do), we'll try a round about way of doing that...". Strange. If the problem is too much traffic, well, then limit the traffic.

You can't call shotgun if you haven't seen the vehicle. I call Gaper on you, nullifying your shotgun call.
need something to transport that heat away whether than be a fan or a liquid transport system.
You attach another cool chip to the back, obviously.

Ahh, i see. We are using a 3.x. It looks like they have made significant improvements for 4.0. Thanks.
win4Lin bites.

I had never even heard of the film.

Slashdot causes at least this much in lost productivity, every week.
I thought number 3 was "Profit!!!"
Yes it does, thank you. I was hoping someone would give a brief explanation.
Heh, nice. You would have made a fine ancient greek scientist. Pity we have moved on since then.
Since we like netscape, mere technical details such as the one you mention are selectively forgotten.
Please don't move our cheese!
Oh my.
Sex.

couldn't have gone wrong, you twerp.

Clearly, IANAL.
If someone posts a story on Slashdot, and nobody says "What's the Point?", was that story actually posted?
