Next time do "# yum -y update && shutdown -r now" the && means that it will only run shutdown if yum reports successful completion, so if yum breaks you can see the errors.:D
Why? People spend more than $500 all the time on bicycles, surfboards, skis, and other athletic equipment all the time. Matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised if all the equipment for your typical diver exceeds $2k. A quick search shows new surfboards costing $300-400.
I kayak, my kayak was cheap and second hand, it cost £80 (~US$160), my paddle cost £60 (~US$120). My old flatmate who I kayak with has a little more cash and buys better stuff and new, his kayak cost £420 (~US$840) and hes getting a £180 (~US$360) paddle, god only knows what his buoyancy aid and spay deck cost, so your defiantly right people are willing to pay large amounts for gear...
Because if your iPod has a nervous breakdown -- and there is a good chance it will -- only iTunes as the "Restore" button. Amarok can't restore a corrupt database and wil just refuse to work with the iPod. Time for a trip to the Apple store.
Plug in iPod, mount iPod, rm -r/media/ipod/*, unmount iPod, unplug iPod. The iPod will then restart and make itself a new blank database that you can fill with tracks, you'll need to copy everything again but it'll teach you not to unplug your iPod during writing.:-P
Imagine two scenarios: 1. you write successful book/album and it stays copyrighted indefinitely, bringing you income forever 2. you write successful book/album and the copyright expires in 14 years, depriving you of income
Under which scenario are you MORE likely to write a new book/album?
If I want to write something I write something, if I want to make money I get a job. Also most books/albums are out of print in a couple years, never mind 14, so there's no more income for 99% of artists after 2 years anyway, it's just that 1% that the media companies don't want to loose...
I think a Xenophile will go out of their way to hire minorities they think less of because they can feel snooty in being "above" their employee.
Isn't a Xenophile someone with a fetish for asian women? As far as I understood it "phile" is kind of like obsession and "xeno" is foreign, so a xenophile is someone who's obsessed with foreign people/stuff...
That's why you use hardware RAID. A good card will allow you to swap out drives and rebuild, or add new drives to the array, without ever needing to unmount the anything.
Well as they cost your first born I'm glad you get something more than free software RAID gives you. I mean that weeks wage a good card would cost SO makes up for not having 24 hours down time every 2 years on a home system...
Get google search history. It remembers your searches and what you've clicked on and will try to tailor your results to you. Now when I search for anything Java I get Sun's stuff coming up first, when Wikipedia has an article on anything I search for its in the first 5 results, if I search for a piece of hardware I'll get pages on linux support of said hardware first. It's not perfect, if you search for something you dont usually search for your back with all the junk but it works quite well.
Soo many wannabe geeks try to hardwire their homes with cat5; that's a waste of money considering Wireless N is faster than most cabling methods....Most methods when you include cup and string and coaxial. Wikipedia says a typical data rate for N is 74Mb/s, so thats 16Mb/s slower than my old 100Mb/s lan and 916Mb/s slower than my new 1Gb lan. And lets not forget a good wireless ping is about 10ms where as a bad wired ping is 1ms. And wired is much simpler to setup, with wireless you have to mess about with security and finding the AP, wired you just plug it in and go.
First they came for the web comic artists, and I did not speak out.
Well I was thinking:
First they came for the web comic artists, and I wasn't too bothered. Their a weird bunch and frankly anyone who draws furry porn maybe should be locked up, preemptively, just in case.:D
However, it turns out that the weak nuclear interaction can mix quarks of different families. Down quarks turn out to be somewhat mixed with strange quarks of the next heaviest family due to this effect.
So now what? Does she write book 2 knowing that if she publishes it she'll only sell a few hundred thousand copies before stores are swamped with the (now legal) copies from the major publisher? Or does she just quit writing.
Or does she approach the big publisher and ask for more money...
I KNOW that http://www.toyota.ca/ takes me to Toyota Canada's page, while http://www.toyota.com/ takes me to the US page.
Surely ca.toyota.com would be better? I mean it's commercial, it's Toyota's and it's their Canada site, it's also cheaper. Domain names are open to allot of interpretation...
Otherwise I guess we can go out and buy a bunch of old used laptops for $200-400 each and put Ubuntu on them and tell OLPC to got jump in the lake.
I want a OLPC. An old laptop will not be as compact, will not be as robust, will not have as much battery life, will not have a nippy solid state disk and will not have nearly as good a screen for reading on. The old laptop probably wont have wireless and probably wont have excellent linux support, in fact it's likely to have some compatibility problems. Also I think the OLPC, or at least the green one, looks pretty funky...
Why do you need all that processing power for 50 classic C64 games?
Because now you can render C64 games at 1900x1600 with per pixel lighting and advanced physics "It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue." will of never seemed so real.
The OP probably doesn't know it but he's pretty close to the truth, Bath gets it's name from the baths the Romans built on the three hot springs there.
The big idea of Gentoo is to create a distribution in which components are distributed in source code form only, and compiled by the user.
I've been a Gentoo user for about 4 years and that's never been the goal, that's the means through which it achieves its goal.
Gentoo is a system designed to allow a user to easily put together their own personalised system aimed at doing whatever they like on whatever they like (hence the big pile of supported architectures). It's about providing as much choice as possible.
With source packages you can compile binaries to be as stable as possible (leave out GCCs optimisations) as fast as possible (turn them all the optimisations on) or even to compile small binaries (for better performance on systems with hardly any cache). See? Choice.
Don't saturate me with all your comittee-selected video clips and ads at the beginning and end. Let the users decide.
The BBC don't do ads. They've never done ads. They never will do ads. The BBC is the best media company on the face of the planet, the fact that it's almost impossible to paint them evil (if you live in the UK) really says something. You really could do with reading up on them.
The reason they pull videos from YouTube is they can't tell if you've paid for your TV license, and thats required to pay for everything the BBC does. It's not spent on making some media baron rich. It's spent on making new shows. It's spent on providing independent and accountable news. It's spent on new methods of content distribution like Kamaelia (which plans to let the users decide just like you said), not to mention their other opensource projects. It's spent on producing some of the best radio stations on the planet, which are advert free and available to everyone.
Without the BBC UK TV would have so many adverts it would suck like American TV. The BBC aren't just another media company.
This is an American site. There will be articles of interest only to Americans from time to time. Get over it.
No thats not what the parent is talking about. He's "WTF"ing about how America can shout about being a great free democratic country and then not have means of freely distributing the back cataloge of recordings of their democratic process, thus hindering openness and accountability, which are quite important to democracy in most peoples eyes...
In the UK we can even sit in on parliment and listen in person.
Singularity? We've seen some ideas, some graphs, but where is the development now? What is planned release date (even if missed by +4 years). Do you know anything about Singularity? http://research.microsoft.com/os/singularity/ here are the same informations provided in articles over and over again - nothing new - only that it's managed and will improve access rights and is based on microkernel - NOW THAT'S SURPRISING!
It sounds like a bad remake of Plan9, but 20 years late.
Google search has gone downhill a lot in recent months; I'm frequently finding searches fail to return any useful information, or if they do it's buried on page 3-4 of the results.
Sign up for search history, sure they'll record your searches but they'll also take what pages you click on into account for your next search. I find about 80% of what I want now can be answered in the top 5 results. It's also interesting to see how much you search, since March 17th I've done 2354 searches.....

Personally, I'd be happy to just pay a couple bucks per show, or a penny per search, or whatever.
In the last 14 months, according to Google Web History, I've done 6707 searches. If that was at a penny a search I'd not be pleased...

I'm also reading Neuromancer but my problem is putting it down, but if your wanting something similar and good try Neil Stephenson's Snow Crash.

All while Odo watches for "just one wrong move".

Ahhh but more people swear in Chinese than quote Star Wars. That's got to count for something!

but once you start using all the stuff that's Finally Ready For The Desktop, the stability problems and bloat are at least as severe as Windows.
Try XFCE4. It's a lightweight GTK based desktop enviroment. Think Gnome without the crap, linux with that is about as heavy as 98 or 2000 at most.
