The theory of the universe being composed of 4 elements, earth, fire, wind, and water needs to get equal time with this so called chemistry theory. I mean when's the chemistry theory going to stop adding elements to that silly periodic table of theirs. It's just further proof that they didn't get it right the first time!
I prefer to believe the world consists of Earth, Wind, and Fire.
They need customized things, not a toy. The people running those supercomputers want to customize things themselves. Windows is just not ment for anything else than desktops, thats the truth and i know i'll get flamed for it.
I salute you and your quest to be flamed for describing the limitations of the Windows family of operating systems on Slashdot.
I was working in the same department as a manager who was an ex cop for apartheid South Aferica. He was a complete sadist and had gone so far as to pull a knife on me once. When I complained things only got worse, so I left. I can only hope that he burns in hell for the things he has bragged about doing.
While it wasn't in the IT industry, I had a similar experience. Two years ago, I worked for a guy named John Wayne (no connection, but a doppelganger for John Denver). In addition to the shop I worked at, he was also a rancher as a hobby. On day, he quietly entred the shop after fixing one of his hurd. I heard a show, "Hey, catch!"--a Fruitopia bottle filled with two llama testicles laid in my hands.
My name is Dr. Cody, and I am a llama testicle assault victim.
Yes, you will probably be modded troll for posting a disection of this product's geek appeal... on Slashdot. Your bold Slashdot martyr complex is truely verging on mastrubatory.
Your average Indian student in Sweden applied to dozens of English and American universities before he settled for Sweden. As such, there is probably a much higher proportion of Indian students who have come here with forged degrees or qualifications here than in the US or Britain. We here plenty of these stories from compsci students here.
I was just paid to correct the English in an Indian students thesis. This thesis was as though it had been xeroxed out of "Tricks of the 3D Game Programming Gurus"'s first chapters. He told me he hadn't in his last eight years of education once used Unix (Linux, Ajax, etc) once. This man was supposed to have had three bachelor's. Additionally, a friend of mine in Lingkoeping tells me of a bit of a scandal surrounding a student who had copied a thesis verbatim from a uni back home.
What they are doing is branding the term "Open Source" and this will not change the meaning of "open source" (note small "o" and small "s").
If these people are creating a profound and important distinction between two strings which contain only differences in case, they have been using Unix too long and need to get out more.
Sure, if you continue to use an encoding that doesn't tolerate errors. The math is beyond me, but I know there are ways to encode numbers so that a single-bit error nudges a value slightly, instead of changing it in wildly unpredictable ways.
We'll see. IBM has historically been very smart (and sometimes downright ruthless) when it comes intellectual property issues. Their IP attorneys aren't referred to as "The Nazgul" for nothing...
I'm afraid I don't follow--are you saying that they come from R'lyeh?

Think of anti-trust legislation as a "wafer-thin mint."
Need to learn french so I can move to Canada.
Naw, you just need to learn to eat pea soup and smoke in church.
Well done!!! You just offended the Licence payers who live in Scotland, Wales and Northen Ireland.
You're seriously telling us that a Scot would pay his license fee?
Have you ever seen a lot lizard?
For instance, there has been a definite lack of companies jumping on board the Cook Island's .co.ck domain.
And does this mean the Catholic Church made the first and most widely spread retcon?
The Passion play is clearly LARPing.

They could call it shorthorn...
Great, now two different branches of the spam industry will team up to see if I want to upgrade my "shorthorn" for cheap.
If Utah was taken off the Internet, would it make a sound?
If we cut off Utah, who is going to buy into all of those get-rich-quick schemes?
I bet there's like five free iPods per inhabitant in that state.
As long as Slashdot is eagerly reporting Battlestar Galactica news, there should be no problem.

What does that do?

Excuse me, but are you pleasuring yourself with a copy of "The Way Things Ought to be" right now?

I also would return the movie if someone was coming after me with scissors.
Case in point...
I started smoking out of sheer desperation with ulcerative colitis about ten years ago.
I think I solved it the mystery:
"Sweet smell of colitis, rising up through the air"
Zombies are a major health risk. Their predilection for eating brains makes them an ideal vector for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy,
That proves it: BSE isn't just dying; it's undead.

Yeah, it's called base-1.
Great info, thanks!
