The papers are written on request by the teacher/school. It's a lot like a "work for hire"
No, it's not like that at all. Essays and poetry I wrote as a 14 yr old at school were published and paid for by the magazine which used them. My teacher was supportive, and several of the items published were also used as part of my assessment, but there was never any question as to who owned the copyright. Me. The author. As always.

A few seconds after the explosion, Steve Ballmer was seen leaving the building, sweating heavily, face blackened, muttering "I'm going to f***ing bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to f***ing kill Cox."
Fear the 7mhz Amiga's awesome 3d power! Let's not forget that the Amiga wasn't even powerful enough to playback MP3s.
The GP referred to an Amiga 1200 - sold as stock with a 14MHz 680EC20 cpu. Even so, 7MHz A5/600s can play MP3s, and have been used in kiosk and mobile projects http://home.tu-clausthal.de/~utaba/A600/A600-e.htm l.
John Howard is going to look soooo stupid. I hope.
You mean he'll look stupid because he's been exposed as a liar?
Interesting thought, but I wouldn't bank on it concerning him too much...
"Medicare will be retained in its entirety."
"I can guarantee we're not going to have $100,000 university degree courses."
"No, there's no way that a GST will ever be part of our policy."
"The Government's position remains that we were advised by Defence that children were thrown overboard".
"The Australian Government knows that Iraq still has chemical and biological weapons and that Iraq wants to develop nuclear weapons."
"Iraq continues to work on developing nuclear weapons-uranium has been sought from Africa that has no civil nuclear application in Iraq"
"I think effectively we are going to meet the Kyoto target, the emissions target of 108%"
I wonder if the people bitching and the people doing work are, as usual, different people?
That's something that tends to happen on all projects. As the amount of activity in the project increases, the project becomes more interesting, then all sorts of armchair experts drop in to offer an opinion. The current round of sniping's probably a good sign for Debian in the long run.
And as someone who's just had a bit of an install-fest to try out the current crop of distros, I'd have to say there's a lot going right with Debian right now. Etch will be the distro that stays on most of my machines. In fact, I'd say the quality and ease of use of Debian is going to push all those meta distros that are based on it pretty hard. They'll have to put in a big effort to justify their existence, which is great for us users.
but is something, and that something is, well, money.
No, money is nothing real. It's a tool we use to get real things, but for people who know what they really want from life, pursuing money isn't always the best way to reach their real goals.
Do you have any suggestions for someone looking to build or purchase an external RAID?
I did this recently as well. Had a look at a few commercial NAS systems, and almost bought this one: http://www.newisys.com/products/na-1400.html, but then decided to build my own.
It wasn't hard, but you need to be careful which M/B you chose. My first attempt with a Gigabyte integrated board had some odd USB/SATA RAID problems that meant I had to disable USB to get SATA working and even then, performance was poor. I switched to a Biostar board and the problems went away. Drives are WD 500GB RAID edition, and have been performing well, and seem reasonably cool. I'm using SME server as the OS of choice, so it does a bit more than a straight NAS, but is still simple enough to run headless and be configurable by non-techie people.
I call BS on this one. I have no doubt that the op could have a 1080i, that's very common.
I suspect it's more a misunderstanding of the the difference between "i" and "p" than intentional BS, but you're right about the format http://www.dba.org.au/index.asp?sectionID=15.
As it stands in AU digital HD tv's a nice-to-have rather than a great leap forward in quality. I've built a MythTV box around a Leadtek DTV2000H, and watch it on a 20" LCD monitor, but most people aren't too interested in switching from PAL, and I'd have to agree - it's not a big enough improvement to make it compelling.
I'll be watching the AFL grand final in HD a projector though...
Unless the major desktops do something significant to reduce their memory consumption, Linux on the desktop will remain something that only those with rather high-end systems will be able to enjoy.
This one fvwm95 would probably have been a better fit for her system. I've also installed enlightenment on a lot of P2/3 class machines for people I think will be able to adapt to a new desktop.
They don't. The way this normally happens is that they call their local geek friend when their Win98 install is too hosed to be usable. The geek thinks about how much time they've wasted keeping the system clean of malware and the general designed in bit-rot that seems to slow down Win 9x systems, weighs it up against the occasional free meal and displays of affection, then makes a decision.
I know that lately, a lot of friends and family with still-functional P3 class machines have been getting the gift of Linux from me. Most seem to cope well.
There are some pretty harsh rivalries between the currently-financially-stable Flanders and the recession-hit Wallonia
Damn Flanders! They've been rubbing it in our noses since we got here! Their families are better than our families, their beer comes from farther away than our beer, they like each other, their wives butts are higher than our wives butts! They make me sick!
he'll instead switch to 'fucking kill'ing them with a motorised chair with wheels, which Microsoft will market it as the Zume.
Sadly, Steve's Zume runs on XP Embedded, so it's wheels spontaneously reverse when the OS decides to pull into a nearby pay-phone to call home and reassure Bill that it is truly "genuine".
The chair flips, throwing Steve to the ground where he lays on his back, dazed. Staring straight up, he mutters to himself "I've seen that screen before, but where's the fucking KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED message gone?"
Um, no. Yet another example of "open" creating choice for us. One or the other may become the most popular choice for people looking for information, but that's their problem. For us users, it's all good.
Is there now priority inheritance in the linux kernel, or will NASA have to add it?
It's been available in custom kernels from companies like TimeSys Corporation for the past six or so years. There's also a lightweightuser space priority inheritance feature in kernels from 2.6.18, which supports some RTOS features.
Jamie is probably borderline sociopathic, though I'd expect that Adam is one step away from being an outright psychopath.
What a load of absolute bollocks. They're just normal, average blokes with enough wit and luck to be earning good money doing what they want to do and having fun at the same time.
If the personalities they present to the camera are real, and there's no reason to think otherwise, they show just as much compassion, concern for others and acceptance of personal responsibility as anyone.
lo and behold, in my mailbox shortly thereafter arrived TONS of junk addressed to "Jess."
I was looking at booking a holiday a few years back, and asked a few travel agents for quotes on the trip. It was an unusual destination (Pohnpei in Micronesia) so most asked for a contact address. On a whim, I invented a name, but gave my correct address.
The name was Tyson Sterr (I'd been writing a shell script earlier in the day, and for some reason stderr leapt into my brain as the basis for a fake name) and for years after that, a flood of junk mail arrived for poor old Tyson.
I still use Mr Sterr now as an alias when companies want a name on their websites. That way I can dump anything with good old Ty's name in it.

Hate to have to tell you this but Neuticles aint going to help with this. Unless you can get them with some sort of embedded pump.
Hmm, now there's a patentable idea - time to experiment with a Super Soaker, a milking machine and several large male dogs. Wish me luck...
