So be careful! If you see one on the road, stay well clear.
The added safety risk lies in the fact that the JiangLing Landwind is likely
to even kill the people inside it in an accident.
Accidents with all
SUVs have increased risk levels for innocent bystanders so your line
should be: "If you see any SUV on the road, stay well clear."
Any which way you put it, the line is more an emotion than anything else.
Good practice is to allow users to do everything with their own files under their own UID/GIDs. The main restrictions are that you don't let users do a chmod u+s or a chown. If you want these, or if you want stuff installed on systems directories, you have to call the sysadmin.
I have been a developers for over 10 years now and have happily used the services of the sysadmins. Sysadmins also appreciate to receive requests that are technically OK and that are written respectfully.
I have seen many juniors struggling with the concept of trusting sysadmins. After a couple of questions I usually find an easy way for them to do their work without being bothered too much by these restrictions.
The systems I develop nowadays I prepare under a mortal user ID and package these. The package installation (in system directories) and the running of the software under a technical UID or under root -you should limit root execution- all fall into a clear development cycle (development, integration, production.) To be a software developer means submitting to certain procedures which make you less indispensable and therefore your organization more stable. If you're not prepared to work this way you'll never be a pro.
One year ago, I was on a holiday in Rimini. I needed to book a flight so I went to an
Internet cafe. My ID was required and I gave it very reluctantly.
You won't believe this but the registers to record the ID entries were very available.
The date of printing -which I don't remember in detail- was from the Mussolini period
and had the book all thinkable relevant columns.
You'd think, Mussolini did foresee the Internet. WRONG! The fascist bastard was a
fscking control freak. In that era, communicating and traveling was very suspicious
activity. More or less, just like it is today.
I live in a country neighboring Austria. When the mirror is up I definitively
will pay a visit and spend between 5 and 100 EUR in the town. Just because I
and my family like trips. And, if we like it, we might return.
Why build the Eiffel tower? Why build the statue of liberty (and give the ugly
thing away?) Why were the funny looking Gaudi buildings built? Why did
Linus do it? This list can get pretty long but the common factor is that
at the beginning nobody really knew if it really was a good idea.
The truly strange thing is that this mirror thingy is referred to as a technology. Isn't that like calling a hamburger gastronomy?
Are the dots of hesitation a way to come out for the fact that you were the virgin he had sex with?
Kidding!!! Here on/. we're of course all smooth talking ole devils that get laid constantly with only interruptions for sleep -and very seldom coital interruptions too;)

Welcome to the world called pricing. Pricing is the discipline to make comparing products hard to the customer. Customers when taking the wrong decision will almost always spend more.
Mars feels it comes "unusually close to the Earth". Like in "Since a couple of years I feel irresistibly attracted to Earth." Or like suddenly Mars' orbit has changed.
Just bear in mind that 60k years is a fart in planetary history. This coming close to Earth could have -or has been- predicted hundreds of years ago.
They [Apple] chose BSD instead of Linux because BSD had friendly licensing and Linux had hostile licensing.
Don't you have the slight impression Apple is the only one that had a break in this deal and certainly not FreeBSD?
How exactly did FreeBSD benefit from Apple using it? Did Apple even once think of contributing anything substantial -like parts of its GUI? All FreeBSD will get are -pimped up- peanuts and will never be allowed to get anywere near to being a threat. That's screw over.
Apple themselves were not capable of hacking their own kernel and the FreeBSD guys did a wondeful job for them. Hell they tried ever since the early 90ies to throw out their event-loop based OS.
Also, is there suddenly a greater drive in putting FreeBSD into datac enters? Is Oracle suddenly fully supported on FreeBSD?
It's 2005, not 1985. We've learned a lot in the last 20 years.
Yeah we learned we need it more than ever before. Just imagine the SCO
history without the GPL.
If you rigorously cling on to values (like GPL and free speech) people
think you're a zealot. Until the same people realize they themselves
were idiots. GPL is what got Linux this far -and not it's technical
superiority over whatever- and it remains needed to prevent doctor
evils screwing people over.
There's also the freedom to refrain from using the GPL and stop
whining.
Nokia's first goal is to get fanciful colored themes in place for Eclipse. I get sooo bored with blue that I'm looking forward for a bright yellow. I would feel so, so.. girly.
Who cares how the menus pop? I'm satisfied with the way twm displays
menus.
Seriously though. I'm much more interested in an application that doesn't
get in my way and that doesn't crash. MS Word has an appalling track record
with respect to stability and I wouldn't be surprised if it still dies on
you every now and then. Do you know the feeling when you edited a document
during that crucial hour you were productive and then boooom!
word dies and you wonder in your rage -just a very short stupid moment- why
Osama doesn't do anything about that! Somehow, the color of menus just doesn't
matter in those cases.
The recruiter is just doing his job. Why abuse the guy? NO! He is not just doing his job.
Re-read this drivel.
Your name and contact info was brought to my attention as someone who could potentially be a contributor at Microsoft.
Why can't he simply refer to the actual person? My guess is that the recruiter
heard a name and just had a go at it. If he just had googled for the name he
could have saved himself time and embarrassment. This recruiter sounds very much
like a 3rd rate telemarketer.

Well you have to give it to MS, they chose probably the best prototype design.
My god, where do some designers get their ideas for a hip game console? At the local army dump store maybe?
Anyway, my favorite prototype design is the one titled "Money (Try an issue for free)" .
I guess we have to bite this bullet sometime.
That should be we as in "we MS windows users" that have to bite this bullet thank you very much.
We as in "we people with high memory requirements" will need 64 bits because we actually need them.
Microsoft will pay Daum $30 million, including $10 million in cash
Where's the 20M$ remaining? Are they paying in licenses? Again? How long before MS licenses are on the forex rates?

I'm not going to buy your album.
And deprive yourself from the music you like. Come on, you won't even fool my demented mother in law with this.
Apparently, artists have no say in whether the CDs shipped are crippled or not. That's the worrying bit here.
Oh yeah, I wouldn't be surprised of the band got sued by Sony.
Brave step by these guys though to just stand up.

I wonder why AIX wasn't included as a Unix variant?
Good point. Maybe IBM wants to ditch AIX eventually. Maybe even USS.
