Why don't we just get a big rocket, and alter the orbit so that it is exactly 365 days ? Or better yet 366 days, then we can give everyone a holiday (in rememberance of all of the species that were extinguished for our selfish ends).
Or gather all the robots on the Galapagos Islands, and have them vent their exhausts straight up. This will push us into a wider orbit, lengthening the year by exactly one week, which will, by order of President Richard Nixon's Head, be a party every year.
Slashdot is not really a great forum for discussion.
Still, this one was interesting. Thanks for answering my question. For some reason it hadn't occurred to me to determine at the beginning whether the odd marble was heavier or lighter. Well, my next school term starts in a couple weeks; maybe they'll drill some sense back into me then.
Not if the libraries in question are licenced under the LGPL.
Or, there's the regular GPL with the "linking exception" (which is what glibc is licensed under).
The LGPL specifically allows linking with non-GPLed code; that's the reason it exists distinct from the GPL.
I think you're thinking of the aforementioned "linking exception" that can be used with the regular GPL. The LGPL is something different, and exists distinct from the GPL for several other reasons.
Requires some command line fun. Yay! Not sure how to automate this so that it occurs when you insert a CD, but here's what you can do manually.
I'm not sure what the XML file contains, since I don't have a CD burner on my iBook, but assuming you can generate the file, here's what you can do to make it sit side by side with the contents of the CD, without copying the CD to your hard drive.
Insert your CD.
Generate the XML file based on the CD's contents. Store it in an empty directory.
Open up a Terminal window. I use bash as my shell, but I think tcsh would work the same.
Type df then look at the entry that corresponds to your CD. Remember the/dev/diskXsY part.
Type /usr/sbin/disktool -u diskX (where X is the number from the last step) and your CD will unmount.
Type /sbin/mount_cd9660 -o union/dev/diskXsYpath-to-folder-with-xml-file to mount your CD in the folder with the XML file.
You should now see the files on the CD and the XML file in the folder. You should be able to use the folder as an iTunes library.
When you want to eject the CD, you'll have to unmount it and eject from the command line; it's not under control of Disk Arbitration anymore, so your regular eject button won't (in my experience) work.
but when it came to stock option maturity time, I got laid-off
How did that affect your ability to exercise your stock options? The options should have been mentioned in your employment contract as part of your salary.
The employment contract, and the stock options themselves, are legally enforceable contracts. If they didn't let you excercise the options because you were laid off, it could be because you agreed to that possibility in the employment contract or in the contract of the stock option itself.
If that wasn't in the contract, then you should be able to go after them to exercise your stock options.
So Interwoven's lawyers do their job and protect the company from everyone else patenting it and putting them out of business.
IANA patent agent, but my understanding is that if a technology (versioning control system) is publicly available for a certain amount of time, nobody can later decide to patent it, even if they were the one who originally came up with the idea. This protects against the situation you described.
How secure can a number that can't be more than 4 digits long BE?
My PIN is 6 digits; I'm not sure if I was limited to 6 or 8. I'm Canadian, so maybe it's just our banks that allow longer PINs. Nonetheless, I've been able to use my bank card with 6-digit PIN in the States without any trouble.
Now I always count it in front of the camera so if there is a problem I've got proof.
What proof? You could easily withdraw a hundred dollars, then show the stack front-on to the camera and claim you only got twenty. There's no proof there.
A few years back I had a bank machine crash on me while I was depositing money. Luckily it was in a bank, and they were able to open up the back and get my money back. They rebooted it, and I watched OS/2 start up.
If an Arab guy came into my hobby shop, bought some model rockets, and asked me where he could buy 3,000 smoke detectors, I'd be getting his license plates and calling the FBI.
I would hope that you'd call the FBI regardless of whether the guy was of Arab descent.
Now, it should be patently obvious that Microsoft doesn't want you running Linux-on-Windows, Windows-on-Linux, Windows-on-Mac, or anything other than Windows-on-Windows. So you have to wonder what they're up to, here.
Seems to me they would want any one of those options. Every one of them sends a Windows license fee their way, and now a VPC license fee too.
Also, since Windows only runs on i386 now, they have more incentive to develop and maintain VPC for other platforms. If you've shelled out for a Mac or a Sun box, you'd probably be more likely to run Windows if VPC were available for the machine you already have, instead of needing an i386 PC.

Ah, but you'll note that they were @telstra, not @telstra.com.au. I doubt there are many spiders that would be smart enough to add the .com.au.

I wonder how many /. readers these days have actually seen this. Last time I can remember was probably at least 6 years ago.
