Been running nightly 64-bit Firefox, automatically updated. I guess I got Lorentz a couple of nights ago, not sure when because I was traveling.
Now no Flash instances run, they take 30 seconds or more to "initialize" before they crash, and the entire Lorentz-enabled Firefox browser crashed on me once. It just suddenly and unexpectedly disappeared. It's been a year or more since Firefox crashed on me.
So at this point there are lots of bugs to shake out. Going back to vanilla 3.6.3 for the time being.
if the thing has a pc speaker you can (with a bit of work) and a noisy export via modulated audio.
Alternatively, he could uuencode all the data, cat it to tty, take photos of the monitor and then OCR it.
I don't care who y'are, that's funny right there! Why, oh why!, do mod points have to max out at five. I hereby nominate parent for funniest post of the month.
This story was posted over an hour ago, and no one has made a joke yet about it being just as fast as a Courier POTS modem from US Robotics.... Man, I'm losing my faith in geek-kind.
I really hope this works. I get more excited about networking technology for posting on/. than I do about efforts to raise the cost of/. posting as a means to drive bandwidth conservation. Too much emphasis on conservation will lead to a world where only rich people have the freedom to make large numbers of posts on/. Access to/. posting must be pushed down to today's/. impoverished. This will offer lots of ways for them to overcome their systemic/. poverty.
If anyone would like a one hour pass to tour my futuristic, union-produced, cruelty-free, pollution-free/carbon neutral, class- and socially just utopian flying machine, please, feel free to ask. Thank you. And, no, I'm not being sarcastic (please see my parent post).
Is a Nazi-Nazi someone who insists you spell "Eichmann" with two 'n's?
No, that's a Nazi-Spelling-Nazi.
A Nazi-Nazi is someone (likely a male with blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, or alternately with a minature painter's-brush black mustache) who ruthlessly and cruelly enforces correct identification of members versus non-members of the National Socialist Party.

Well, you *almost* had your suspicions confirmed. His post is now modded "0, Troll." Man, it takes a lot of Politically Correct new-age drones to mod a +5 down into oblivion. Lots of fools wasting mod points tonight....
Of course, you and the OP are correct, as the coming 2 or 3 decades will prove out.
... have been found necessary to replicate all known English language poetry, prose, social and political literature, and scientific and technical writings. This includes such works foundational to the development of the post-modern age as Newton's Principia, Shakespeare's plays and sonnets, Feynman's lectures, Friedman's works on economics, and so forth.
Yes, but Welshie's ashes are still safe on Omega 3, presumably kept as a collectible by Melllvar.
Given what's been said about Jimmy Doohan's negative personality quirks, I'm guessing some remaining Star Trek actors may not be terribly concerned....
The second replies "Not even God can hit a one iron!" Attribution (though perhaps he's not the original source) goes to golfer Lee Trevino, a.k.a. "The Merry Mex."
Clicking on the "what time is it scandal" "video" redirects toward a site Firefox flags for malware downloading (even though I'm on Linux -- thank you 'Fox:).
There seem to be hundreds of these random malware blogs out there. Is this an old phenomenon? Thx.
Ya know, your "news for nerds" source sucks when you heard a story about Mars on the boob tube this morning, only to read about it on/. 10 (or more?) hours later....
I've noticed (as it appears to me in viewing it right now) a bug in comment threading in this article. The comment thread entitled "Linux Defense" ("If the tree doesn't balance, you must acquit.") is duplicated on two pages in its entirety when I view the comments at a -1 threshold. The initial comment that appears twice has the same comment ID number in both places -- it's not just a double post.
Not sure if anyone will notice, or if this will help or not, but FWIW. Thx.

Hey! Who needs personal responsibility when you've got bad genes???
Don't let the door hit you in the ass!

Where, I ask, is the righteous /. indignation? Where is the geek outrage? Where? Where?

Big whoop.
How did this make slashdot?
It was submitted by the Slashdot God of all Science Media, Roland Piquepaille, that's how.
Reminds me of something I learned about low-temp cryocooling way back in P.Chem:
Adiabatic Demagnetization.

Anyone else here remember the '70s? Huh? Anyone? Hello?
I'm being serious. I can't tell. Was this supposed to be dated April 1st?
Ahem. That's THE Ohio State University. I have relatives who've graduated from there. Thank you.
Hey,

I've noticed through some search terms found on Google Trends that there are bunches of apparently fake "blogs" on blogspot. Here's an example:

Where the hell're the crew gonna assemble it? In the air? In the shuttle bay during launch? (What's up with the ", in Space" in the title?...)
