maybe the cost/benefit ratio might possibly be higher for placebos?
Yes, a ratio of no cost:little effect is lower than great cost:great effect. It still doesn't mean that little effect is more than great effect. When talking about medicine, the effect is more important than the ratios -- it's better to pay for a full cure and live than to have a half cure for free and end up/nearly/ alive...
How do I use bazaar, arch or subversion to check out the kernel's bitkeeper repositories?
The point of this article is that you no longer need to use the "we own your soul" closed source BK client just to download the kernel; you can use the open source client instead.
Yes, forced. Except you can turn it off. Or you could even avoid natilus altogether, and go with one of the many other file managers -- It's linux, just pick & mix the best bits as you see fit, and stop complaining about being forced to use things where there are alternatives...
It's in the article, the section labelled "how it works".
Assuming most slashdotters are lazy f*cks, a condensed explanation: it takes a snapshot every couple of seconds, then when you want to go backwards it moves all the way to the previous snapshot, then runs forwards ignoring sleep() to appear instant.
That said, I do think there are enough "Zomg Bill Gates writes something!" stories to get a section of their own; a couple of weeks ago every other story on the front page was about him...
So women currently make up about a third of the current IT workforce? WhereTF are they? It's a tenth at most around here, and most other places I've seen. There must be some very woman filled places elsewhere to balance it out; but where?
If it ever happens, tell me about it; I'm a bad combination of poor, lazy, and fed up with my software being "windows 2000 or later" compatible. Even apps as generic as filezilla have dropped '98 support -- if it works on systems as different as XP and Linux, how hard can it be to make it work on previous windows versions?
(It may well be very hard, I don't know -- I only use the windows box for gaming and do all my dev stuff with linux... -- an explanation of quite what's changed to break compatability would be appreciated though:)
When you type in a search keyword, isn't it because you want that keyword to appear in the documents you find?
Personally, I use google to find useful information, not specific words; When was the last time someone said "find me a web page which contains the word 'foo'" as opposed to "find some information related to foo"?
Don't take my word for it, set one up and try it yourself.
I have; not any major fileserving, but I can serve a 200MB file to 20 people quite easily over a home DSL connection -- cpu time seems to run out faster than bandwidth, especially when running a permanant seed on the same host as the tracker.
Does it even require that the author be human? Some people get away with just putting different text over the same image every day, it wouldn't be too hard to automate that; either build up a few hundred strips worth of sentances, or just randomly generate them...
Yes, and photoshop runs fine under linux after installing VMware; my point wasn't that it's impossible*, but rather that it's comparatively a pain in the ass.
* if you're willing to write the software yourself, I'm sure windows can do pretty much anything linux can.
Why do you arrogantly believe Linux is the only OS capable of this?
Becasue I tried it and it didn't work:P It was quite a while ago though, I suppose I should have checked on a recent version of windows before posting, but I don't have any handy... having it as a bash script with cygwin would probably work, but then saying windows is OK because of cygwin is like saying linux is OK because of WINE...
You do realize that you can set any random key equivelents you like in most other OS's as well, including Windows and MacOS, right? No. You didn't.
Actually, I did. I tried binding a key combo to "cd ~/web/pics/ && find -name "*.jpg" | xargs -l1 -ifoo convert foo -geometry 128x128 foo.thumb.jpg && scp *.jpg $site/pics/ && rm -f *.thumb.*", so I could thumbnail and upload some images with just a couple of taps, but it didn't work under windows:(

This is a fork bomb (a DoS technique), not 100% access. With this, all your secret files remain safe.

Just because linux happens to work well and be free doesn't mean that "free == effective" by defenition...

He has a picture of himself in a multicolour top; it shows up as a solid colour, but not see-through :(

Personally I just have E as WM with mostly Curses apps, and a little GTK whenever I need a GUI, and I'm happy with that.

Sure doesn't look like an attempt to get high rankings to me...
How on earth did you miss "the person from whom the movies were downloaded"? It's the very first sentance!

And get sued? Yay.

It depends on server bandwidth, but small is normally under 1MB; the BT client is 3.5~
They do? I'm running bittornado fine without one... It still doesn't have as many features as azureus, but it's lighter on the CPU and RAM~
I use bittornado the same way; it's the official client, with more.

What happens if you have some of the GUI work done, and some of the codec work done, at the same time?
Personally, I use google to find useful information, not specific words; When was the last time someone said "find me a web page which contains the word 'foo'" as opposed to "find some information related to foo"?
It's not a great example, but my mind seems to have gone temporarily blank of words that have many synonyms :(

It worked in linux, so what did I do wrong?
