After years of use, most vinyl records develop a single deep scratch that spirals from the outside towards the center. I find that rubber cement can fix it pretty easily. I did this to some of my old records a couple years ago and they sound much better now.
I tried to do a bit of recursion in regexes once, like ((\d+)\.)+, but that didn't work.
By definition, Regular Expressions are limited to regular languages, thus can be expressed by Finite Automata. This prohibits them from supporting recursion, but generally makes them easy to optimize.
Wikipedia can't be reliable. People do not take it seriosly
Yes, much like the federal government, which Stephen Colbert also mocks, we should never expect anything to be reliable until we can learn take it seriously.
If redhat or novell fails to meet their users needs (such as security updates), then they risk losing the customer. Thus, it is in the company's best interest to serve the customers well.
Customers have a much harder time holding microsoft accountable, because they've usually charged you for their software through the hardware vendor, even if you intend to use it.
Mostly my confusion comes from the fact that for many business needs Gentoo flips the bill just fine. Yet people still pay for things like SLES or RHES.
Well, most businesses could have their technical needs met by gentoo, debian or even CentOS, which is 99% identical to redhat. But the sense of comfort can be more easily met by RHEL or SLES. For many of them, paying someone to be accountable is worth the rather small licensing fees. Employee certification can also be a deciding factor, because employees who have training and certification are more easily replaced. If a company builds their business around gentoo and then their System Administrator leaves, they may have trouble finding a replacement, whereas redhat certified technicians are generally easy to find.
Um Gentoo hardly is a flavour of the month nor is it unpopular.
There was a period a couple years ago where people were switching in mass numbers to gentoo. It was more of a migration away from rpm hell and towards distros that supported network-based updates (through apt or portage). I'd say most of the people switching were coming from mandrake and a few were coming from redhat (i was one of those). Based on community alone, gentoo was a much better option (compared to debian) for most of these users.
Since then, the rpm distros have caught up with the times, and now yum alleviates many of the problems that used to drive people away. Also, Ubuntu has succeeded in making Debian more friendly to n00bs. As a result, there are less people switching to gentoo. However, there are still plenty of gentoo users out there who don't appear to be leaving any time soon.

Actually, I was making a joke about my penis.
I believe that is called "pulling a 3d Realms".
If that doesn't work, shoot them in the back of the head.

Courtship from microsoft would certainly cause me to go soft pretty quickly.
I need scotch, and lots of it, before I'll put out for microsoft.
Well, as we all know, Java is not fault tolerant and should not be used for the aircraft navigation or air traffic control.
Just to prove my infinite superiority, here are the lyrics:
We're whalers on the moon.
we carry a harpoon.
but there ain't no whales,
so we tell tall tales,
and sing our whalin' tune.
I believe you mean "Whalers on the Moon".

I didn't know the Java API for XML Aeronautics was ready yet.

Well, if we let computers vote, they'll probably just re-elect Nixon.
The first quote of his on the wikipedia page says, "When in doubt, use brute force." He certainly sounds qualified to me!
