the Airbus A320 had a deadman-switch of sorts. It detected wierd stick movements, and took over, assuming the pilot was dead
Of course, any intentional wierd movements to compensate for terrain, or really bad weather, and the aircraft would take over, flip the plane over, and crash in to the ground...
I trust pilots way more than i trust computers to make descisions
Still not 64-bit clean.
Why exactly is it so hard to make a 64 bit version?
Don't get me wrong, i think OO.o is a great app, i'm just curious as to why there's no AMD64 port
How long do you normally keep a computer before you get a new one?
Qualify "a new one"?
if it's a complete system, then 12 years and counting, so far.
Instead of buying a new computer, running it until it's crap, then getting a new one, i slowly replace parts as my will arises. However, the only original part on this computer i'm on right now is likely to be the floppy cable.
Is your mac default user root or a root-like entity?
If so, then it's *not* secure by design, it's secure because of market share. The single biggest security problem with desktop windows is having system administrator be the default user
Let me paraphrase that before I comment:
"This style of non-hierarchial government gained some attention about 250-270 years ago and was tried by a number of countries. It turned out to be a disaster. No one has yet to come up with a government organization that works bettern than the hierarchial structure."
I remember this problem last time i re-installed windows.
focus firefox, then go in to your taskbar's international thingy (keyboard changing deal) and switch it back to dvorak. Failing that, press the keys to swap layouts (there's a keychord that does it, I don't remember what it is though)
I used to swap back to QWERTY for when I came online, IM'ing was tediously slow otherwise
There's the kicker. I learned Dvorak while sitting on IRC precisely because it requires quick response times. You get to know your keyboard pretty well after a few days of a high-traffic IRC channel
Slashdot Mirror
Yes, well...
while funny, MC Hawking isn't actually that great to listen to. I got bored of it pretty quick
Or MC Chris.... he's a regular on aquateen hunger force, and the entire first album's on his website

I was getting sick of all that freedom, good thing sandisk's taking care of that, so i don't have to
Well, if the only issue is that gcc spits out some warnings, why are the gentoo amd64 docs so adament that i not compile OO?

And you can buy them on ebay
My guess is that since he was found innocent on the DeCSS case, people other than DVDjon are making this software and sending it to him to release

Sometimes it's not about efficiency
"Where did our legal right to privacy go?"
Technically, we never really had one, it's not in the canadian constitution
well, i don't know about turning the cow on, but if cows are anything like human females, it would release some pressure and feel good
no, more like "The neigbour can accidently walk across the property line because i have no fence?"
Well, i meant using it on children, recently-born babies, and adults
I wonder if something like this would work for birth defects like spina bifida and so forth?
Joe sixpack doesn't upgrade windows, he buys a new computer that happens to come with the new version of windows on it sooner or later.
My mom (not computer literate at all) is still running windows 98 because it came with her computer
Gas rots after a certain amount of time.
You can only store it for so long before it begins to break down in to a bunch of crap you don't want running through your engine
"Do you think the ops of any respected irc network would allow channels named #young_girls_for_older_guys?"
Yes? how do you qualify a respected irc network, because undernet, efnet, and dal (the three big ones) allow all sorts of crazy crap to go on
I'm currently listening to AAC audio (pulled off of my ipod... it's mounted as a harddrive) through XMMS.
libfaad would i assume be pretty trivial to put in to uClinux on the ipod.
Perhaps the problem lies with you.
My laptop is qwerty, my desktop is dvorak. I have no problems using vi for coding on either

If you use Dvorak, your best bet: get an IBM model M keyboard.
The keycaps are all exactly the same, the keys sit underneath them. Popping off the labels != popping off the keys.
Works great for me, keyboard cost me $3, dvorak took me a week
