...what they don't tell you is that there are plenty of brown "islamic" Americans who go to mosques and are likely to blow themselves up given half a chance.
Or so they'd have us believe.
This war on Humanity has driven me past the boundaries of sanity. Hand me my pills.
The speed limit in the USA used to be 55mph, even on the motorways. Can you imagine how frustrating it must have been to drive on a journey of more than 5 miles?
I saw that film on the TV the other day. Truly dreadful. I'd probably have enjoyed it when it came out, when I was 11:-) There were terrorists in that film. Brown ones. They were Libyan.
It's just Another UNIX System Vr4 variant that runs on SGI MIPS hardware. You get all the same and more in Solaris (swap MIPS for SPARC) since it had much more R&D. You also get the same and more in Linux, but without the official Sys Vr4 codebase.
I've just been converted. It's a new religion! I get it now. Life is complete. I have no fear of death, for I am destined to live forever in paradise, if only I believe in the Duke.
Their handling of sun4m and hardware thereof in not-so OpenSolaris 10 seems to be a bit (more?) questionable given that there was a workable, buildable version of it- and I doubt svn goes back 3-4+ years to s10_22. It'd at least be better to have them put it back in, along with all the hardware eol'ed along the way(and fully documented).
Nonsense. Solaris 10 is too big for sun4m machines. Run NetBSD or Linux insted. Let it lie. Solaris 10 is the future. sun4m is the (distant) past.
I would much rather see mentally ill individuals treated before they harm someone than imprisoned afterwards.
But.. but.. but... *cough* *splutter*
The the Tabloid Press and the Righteously Indignant would have nothing upon which to vent their spleens. "Mentally ill" == "sick" in the colloqiual and pejorative sense. What's more, they'd have no baseline upon which to measure their own righteousness.
Despite being banned in the USA, Herion (diamorphine) is used in palliative care here in the UK where addiction is not a problem.
Morphine is also used, and again, addiction is not a problem, but for different reasons. If the right dose is used, so it goes, the physiological changes in the brain that cause addiction do not happen (mind you, the New Scientist is hardly a reputable source of knowlege).
As travel becomes easier and cheaper and education becomes more ubiquitous, countries as we know them will become irrelevant.
In a few decades, these petty squabbles over plots of land will be viewed by the majority, not just lunatics on medication like myself, as ridiculous.
God will be abolished.
BTW, a crisp, new 5-pound (Sterling) note to the first person to hack Mustafa Dinnerjacket's web site with anti-Islamic blasphemy and/or profanity. It runs on Microsoft, so it can't be that hard.
Well, then, either it will be illegal to use any encryption at all (and you'll be locked up forver under suspicion of being a terrorist if you do), or you will be forced to supply your private keys on demand to the authorities (UK RIP act from 2 or 3 years ago).
What's frustrating is the way it seems as though this has to be an either-or. Either we ask people to keep their sexual drives under control OR we try to save those who catch the disease. Pity we can't do both.
That's flamebait if ever I heard it. Can you god-botherers please explain what's so wrong about sex? Do you assume that all of us that have had it outside of marriage are promiscuous, engaging in unprotected sex with vast numbers of strangers possibly of the same sex? Do you assume that we're all introvenous drug users? Perhaps HIV/AIDS appears spontaneously in people who are immoral by your standards?
Does being married, a man-made institution, suddenly make it OK?
I was raised by agnistic Calvinists (if that isn't an oxymoron) and at the age of nearly 32 and after 4 years of marriage I'm only just beginning to come to terms with being a male human being.
I'll tell you what's wrong: fear bourne out of ignorance, like all the rest of the world's problems. And don't get me started on G. W. and Stem Cell Research...
I actually tend to take at least three breaks a day for about five to ten minutes each. The first two, I read Slashdot; usually around 10:00am and the other right before lunchtime. I don't eat out often, but I do pick up lunch and then around 4:00pm, I check out the latest 'IT' curiosity posted on The Daily WTF http://www.thedailywtf.com/ [thedailywtf.com]. I also check Slashdot again right before I leave so I don't miss some of the few gems posted here.
Lucky you. My boss says that if I need a 5-10 minute break then I can always review my bug list.
You're right. Hypertransport is just the physical interconnect, but the Athlon 64/Opteron supports NUMA on the processor. Pentiums need external (slow) hardware.
Opterons have many hypertransport point to point links. Pentiums have a single shared front side bus.
Slashdot Mirror
The Daily Mail, voice of petty-minded, intolerant, closet racist Little England, is usually in favour of these sorts of things.

No, thank you sir for lifting me out of a 4-month depression.

Sorry, I'm showing my age here. Prior to the 1990s, Renault had a terrible reputation for rust.
Millions of Renault cars rusting successfully in Europen scrap yards.

Cars with HP to exceed 75MPH
Obviously, cars shouldn't be allowed to go faster than 30MPH.

I'd love it if you had a chat with a nice woman I met in Scotland
Argh! No! Not Scotland!
The lesson, here, kids, is never drink and post to slashdot.

So, the war on opiates continues...
But even OpenSolaris is a very new development. What I'm getting at is: IBM was putting its money where its mouth was, _long_ before Sun.
*cough* *hach* *retch*
Bill Joy. vi. BSD. SunOS. Tcl/Tk. OpenOffice.org, Solaris...
And, by the way, Sun was instrumental in beating down SCO with a big stick in order to get Solaris open-sourced....
Although this is slashdot and we don't like Sun here.
And science zealots clump all religious people together so that they can just ignore religion.

Why bother? Why not just burn them and use the heat to generate electricity?
