Forgive my ignorance, but isn't a microkernel supposed to do something like this (not with the Windows drivers, but act as a somewhat static interface with dd's)?
We currently pay billions to have a secure source of oil and billions in farm subsidies to keep farmers from using their arable land to the fullest. If ethanol could be manufactured efficiently it would be an unalloyed boon to civilization. However ATM it is merely a boon-doggle.
I think he is bored with Star Wars anyway. I doubt he'll be directing any more Star Wars films after these. No, I have nothing to back up these suppositions (except for the last two films).
My Uncle bought a ZX-81, and finding it unsuable for business purposes, gave it to me and my brother.
When we looked at the manual it had a picture of some sort of Starfighter on a giant structure. My brother and I were convinced that we could get it to draw that picture if only we could find the program.
Of course it was impossible, even with our 16k memory pack. I did manage to program it to guess a number between 1 and 10 though. I'll never forget the sound the TV made when the Sinclair was on. And don't get me started on playing "Westward Ho" on the TRS-80s.Ahh memories.
The iPod video idiots and Washington Post are the ones who have been irresponsible... reporting on company policies that have been outdated by 6 months to a year.
The story is not about Apple's battery policy per se, it is about two things:
1)The fact that people continue to "Think Different" about Apple, when in fact Apple itself generally "thinks" (or at least acts) pretty much the same as any other corporate behemoth.
2)The compelling wonderfullness of the iPod.
To imply and summarize: Go ahead and buy an Apple, but don't buy into Apple.
Maybe, but "don't have a clue" works both ways. On February 23, 1997 we were decades away from cloning a mammal, February 24 Dolly was born. This venture may be a spectacular failure, but hopefully we will learn from it.
I'd prefer the one mentioned here to your puny cross-cutting confetti.(To find the relevant passage do a search for "flour".)

Ahh, our tax dollars at work.
I have tried using Suse, RedHat and Mandrake, and whenever something went wrong I had no clue how to fix it. I think Gentoo is a great distro for noobs (like me) who really want to learn how the system works. The only downside for noobs is that 'emerge' is so easy, it will make them lazy.
Of course if you mean a noob who never wants to see the CLI, that's another story, but I wouldn't reccomend ANY Linux to them. Not yet anyway.
I just finished my own letter, though it was less well written. Vopefully the varience will let them know that these are indepentantly submitted expressions of displeasure.
OK, I cannot let people disparage King of the Hill any longer. It is a good show that is funnier when you know the characters. Stewie is funny but has no depth, watch Bobby Hill for a season and you will think he is damn funny too.
I liked the Family Guy quite a bit, but it never approached the Simpsons at their best. And to those people why say Family Guy was a subtile show: There is a difference between subtile and obscure (and the difference itself is neither).
Family Guy was too uneven to be great, and the total lack of a coherent universe around them was funny, but quickly became, as Stewie would say "Old Hat".
But, yes it was better than most other shows.
Canopy Group 4.1% owns SCO Group 1.6% giving us a total of... um 5.7%. This means that to the best of my knowledge TrollTech is um... 94.3% asshole free which is pretty good. Way better than where I work anyway.
In the early days of film, the LOC would only copyright things on paper. This resulted in many old films being printed on paper soley for the purpose of copyright. In retrospect this seems absurd, however a lession leard may be that the LOC can (and maybe should) should require that THEIR copy be manufactured using some archival method which may be unsuited for general distibution.
Yet another me too post. Most radio is crap, but it's a free conduit of crap. I never bought a CD player for my car, and that has forced me to look all over the dial to keep myself entertained. About half my listening is to Public Radio, the other half crazy right-wing talk and 'alternitive'. If I don't want to listen to one, I switch around until I find something I like. I would have never bought 'early music', old time radio stories, most classical and punk music left to my existing tastes. As it stands I can sample these things and pay by listening to commercials. Radio as we know if may not last much longer, but unless there is a similarly diverse alternitive the culture will be poorer for the loss. (For the record, I live in a large market and have a wider selection than many)
The newest kernel, that I've used anyway (2.6-test8-mm1), can write safely to NTFS only over existing files and only if the resulting file is the same size as the original file. This may be useful to some, but I'm not optimistic that safe NTFS writing will be coming anytime soon.
So it looks like we'll have to wait a while longer for Reiser4, or were some of the Reiser4 implimentation problems due to the shifting kernel patches? Anyone? Anyone?
In former times people would have had a pamphlet, now they will have a $400 (retail) backlit display. When epaper becomes commonplace, I can see this taking off. Until then, I can't believe that this is more than a gimmick (which they seem to admit in the article.)
More depth
here. And, of course Google. I personally think that a lot of the venom directed at the court comes from indiviuals with a **conservitive** bias. Not to mention the established activists among the Supremes.
one day he came in to work with his button down dress shirt on INSIDE OUT (think about how much effort it would take you to button a dress shirt in such a fashion);
When he took it off, he just unbuttoned the top button and pulled it off like a sweater. When he put it back on it was already inside out and he may have just flipped the collar and put on his tie. Believe me, I know how these things happen.
As I understand it, Windows libraries are already mapped to each other. Conversely, a linux program has to follow a chain of dependant libraries and load them. You can prelink libraries to save time, however all of the libraries on your machine may have to be compiled locally to do that (cue for better informed response... HERE).
This is certainly part of the reason. I would wildly guess that X11 is another part and maybe OOo for windows doesn't use GCC, but another more optimized compiler.
Linux is free and open and Tivos aren't mission-critical, (except during long award shows and sporing events).
Also the 2.6 kernel lets you take certain core parts of the kernel out if they won't be used in your embedded environment, thus helping with the size issue.

Which begs the question "Why would ANY Slashdot reader use IE anyway? (Though as I recall, about half do.)

This is certainly interesting, but people have been building single task robots for over 200 years.We really should have mechas by now.
