used it for years, but migrated away. prone to corruption, and not totally compatible with all softwares because it doesn't support all low-level io functions. The client kernel modules are also a headache and the Windoze one is unreliable. I think the idea is great, and it has some cool features, but now with other volume-management tools it is not a front-runner.
it is hard because of of the people trying to stop you from doing it. those people being the guys with their in-house systems that can't compete on their own merits.
when a company does an IPO, or offers more shares, they get the cash. after that the stock value is not closely related to any amount of money the company makes; the trades have no direct impact on the company. the buying and selling of shares on the market does not gain the company any cash. the value of the stocks are set by the willingness of the traders to buy and sell the shares.
while the desire to buy shares may be related to the anticipated corporate performance, there is no actual tie of share value to company performance. if there was a close match we could all make more money in the stock market. the value is set by perception, trading programs, and stock analysts. We can't predict those things that well - but the guys who operate the stock markets sure can.
yeah, the name Palin gets everyone all worked up and ready to blame her for something. even though it is in fact the state of Alaska that is responsible for this effort. I'm sure she can be connected to the riots in Tunisia and Egypt based on her 'inflammatory rhetoric'. Check to see if any of the cross hairs fell on those countries.
yeah but he hasn't really given us anything new lately, so we have to stick with the good old stuff. Maybe wikileaks will have something for next month.
I still use fedora, but I hate all of the new "smart" daemons that figdet the network whenever a device gets plugged in. I mostly find they screw up they networking and just set it and forget it manually.
Instead of the dumb "eth0", mine would be "00:1E:90:47:69:93". it's fairly unique. it doesn't change on reboot. all of the ethernet cards on your network will have a unique address. problem solved. they should have asked me first.
The use of collective nouns as singular or plural depends on the country, just like spelling. In British english collective nouns are often considered plural, referring to the plurality of employees represented by BayStar.
Sure they have the dough, but that doesn't stop the thirst for getting government money. As you say, they have the bureaucratic infrastructure to get and administer the cash, where smaller co's wont.
The motive for asking for regulation is obvious and comes at the bottom of the article. Kaching -- it is about getting government money to increase crappy sofware quality. Or just getting government money, who's to say. They aren't really begging for oversight - they are begging for money. Our money. From our taxes. To make software for us to spend more on, like they should be doing in the first place.
the end of the article had these great funding opportunities:
- spend at least $6M to fund studies on security. Great.
- provide incentives for software quality (now we know what M$oft is holding out for) This will be interesting to implement. I'm sure slashdotters have lots of ideas.
- setting up a govt lab to test software patches. Who is known for having a lot of sofware patches... Hmmm. Great to spend govt. $$$ to do what they should do for themselves.
The exact phrase was...now *trashing* disk.. this was in the days before hard drives. It was in my US edition of Word 1.0 (or maybe 2.0) distributed on floppy disk, not just the European. I recall using the Norton utilities to find it on my 5 1/2 floppy version of Word.

no, you must use "one of" the methods in section 6, which include 6c- an offer to give it on request.

ImageMagick: priceless!
i don't have to resize them, then export them. I just have to resize them. I'll be done before your software finishes loading.
ok, you can win by defining "editing" to be something that you can only do with a gui.
just last week. resized a whole directory of photos with this:
$ for i in *.jpg; do mogrify -geometry 400 $i; done
yup, faster than any gui program 100 images resized.
your troll-fu no good.
You can do a lot more complex things on a single line than a screen-sized dialog filled with widgets.
just looking at my history from today:
grep [0-9] results.csv | sort -r -n -k 2 | uniq -c
what kind of gui is good to make that happen?

thats why shes so entertaining

ba dump dump tshhhh. thank you, I'll be here all week. don't forget your waiters.

the proposed solution depends on the slot the board is in? These must have been Apple II guys who haven't come out of cave in the last 20 years.
Why don't they just use an alias for the MAC address on the cards, so that it is totally general?
you didn't expect me to read the other comments did you?
no one has yet mentioned that this baloney comes from .... the University of Bologna
So basically you are saying that if we give a great deal of our money away to the "less fortunate" they won't come and take it by force or burglary.
That's a great solution; why would anyone rob me if I just gave them my money every month. I think the mob had that play down to an art.

that was the point see .... blaming the wrong company.
Nope, they are definitely made in Switzerland. Some watches are made in Russia, but the Swiss do very little outsourcing for watch manufacturinng.
