No really, I love GNOME, and Ubuntu, and I'm really going to love GNOME 2.20 in next month's Ubuntu!
I think by "on the wing" he simply meant that they were being flown around. A B-52 can carry 8 cruise missiles in its rotary launcher, so there would be no need to use the wing pylons, with their serious range and performance penalty.
Of course it doesn't. It's also possible for me to get drunk and try to fly an airplane (the more drunk, the more likely, I'd say). But at least I'm not setting myself up for it by driving to a house of merriment with the intention of drinking until the wee hours, then driving home with a premeditated plan to outwit the police, like our pal "nice nate" upthread. I mentioned bicycling because drunk drivers are one of the chief dangers to bicyclists in the late night.
Oh my yes, you'd need a lot of statistics. For example, you might need "An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of California's 0.08% Blood Alcohol Concentration Limit and Administrative Per Se License Suspension Laws," which is a two-volume work on this topic. Or, you might need "Lowering state legal blood alcohol limits to 0.08: the effect on fatal motor vehicle crashes" which was published in the American Journal of Public Health, and found that lowering the BAC to.08 reduced fatal accidents by 16%. I know it's hard to believe, but people have done rigorous statistical studies of these things long before Slashdorks started arguing about it.
I'm in complete agreement with the idea that the source code and schematics to the breath machine, and any other device, should be available, and that all evidence entered in court should meet strict guidelines. But the post to which I replied wasn't talking about any of that, it was talking about how you can stall for time to make your blood alcohol content go from illegal to legal levels. Essentially, "nate nice" wants to obstruct justice, which is an intolerable attitude in a society of laws.
We don't have a zero tolerance policy on drunk driving, we have a.08% blood alcohol tolerance on drunk driving. That's the law in my state, anyway.
Also I can't really tell what you are trying to say about the people upon whom I rely. Are you saying that it would be OK for the bus driver to knock back a few before his shift? If not, what are you saying, exactly?
That's great, good for you. Do you live in California? If so, you are contributing to the problem whereby the hour from 2am to 3am is the most fatal hour of driving, expressed in deaths per passenger mile driven. The rate of drivers involved in fatal accidents who had been drinking is over half during this hour, and only about one fourth in general. Good times.
By the way, if you come to California and you breathe.08% or higher, the cops will impound your vehicle and suspend your license, nevermind your DUI trial. If you refuse the breath test and request blood test, your vehicle and license will be taken pending the outcome of the test.
Hi nate nice. Got any more tips for drunk drivers? What if I run over some kid on a bicycle? How long should I run from the law before my BAC will be down under.07? What are the implications with respect to felony hit-and-run vs misdemeanor involuntary vehicular manslaughter?
Are there any other crimes you can help me weasel out of? Know anything about securities fraud? I heard it's lucrative, but I don't want to get caught.
That doesn't give you the full name. Look people, there's absolutely nothing wrong with a program opening/etc/passwd. If you trace any random Linux program you will see it opening/etc/passwd, because there's useful information in there. There's an API for this, e.g. getpwent.
The reason the house did not move against Jefferson is because he was re-elected *after* all the evidence against him was already public. So to impeach or censure him would have been an insult to the people of his district. After an indictment was brought, the leadership did take actions against him. Because the indictments came after his election, that would not be seen as contravening the will of the voters.
Except the blacklists which are supposedly dynamic IPs contain tons of other shit. There is one which contains any IP which reverses to a name containing the letters "dsl". This is pretty stupid since a lot of business DSL lines have static IPs and because Speakeasy business T1 lines also reverse to whatever.city.dsl.speakeasy.net. Other ISPs have the same scheme, and they don't all delegate reverse DNS.
I have a business MX hosted on a T1 line that's blocked by some blacklist that Earthlink uses. So I can't send mail from that business to anyone at Earthlink. It's a really stupid policy.
That doesn't make any fucking sense at all. How can it be restrictive to say you can have these terms, or any future terms, whichever you find more advantageous? The worst case is that all future GPLs are disadvantageous, so you stick with the current one. I fail to see how that could be considered restrictive.
The "or later" clause is liberating, not restricting. It means that anyone may distribute the work under v2 or v3 or any later revision, at their own choosing.
Remember, the GPL is not something that the author imposes upon the user. It is a contract that the distributor freely enters with the author.
365 Main has a long and ignominious history of frequent and prolonged power outages, yet it remains fully booked. Some people just can't learn a lesson.
For what it's worth, the datacenter which is adjacent to 365 Main, called 360 Spear, did not suffer from this outage.
"We came within a couple of votes of amending the constitution with regards to gay marriage."
Not exactly. 49 people voted to end debate on the amendment. If debate had ended, 67 senators would have had to vote in favor for the amendment to pass. Then, it would have needed a supermajority of the House, also. Then, it would have needed approval of fully 3/4th of all the states!
So you see that amendment was quite a long way from success.
Is your question coming from the perspective of a person living under a parliamentary system? I can see the point of the question, if so. In the USA we do not simply call for elections. The legislature can't issue a vote of no confidence or otherwise pressure the executive into holding elections. Elections are held every 4 years, regardless. We can't move them up without amending the Constitution (which is very impractical).
The only way to remove the president is to put him on trial. Impeachment is conducted by the House and requires a simple majority. Trial is done by the Senate where a 2/3rds supermajority is required to convict. Upon conviction the president (or other official) is automatically removed from his office.
But then what? We'd have Cheney as president. That would be much, much worse. And the Congress are a lot of weak-kneed cowards who are afraid to spend their political capital on anything risky, which includes impeachment. Although the House could easily muster an impeachment, there is no way the Republicans in the Senate would vote to convict, meaning that the whole exercise would have no practical impact whatsoever.
You must not remember far enough back to know when a P3 Xeon was current. Your 2-year-old laptop is likely to be a Pentium M or Pentium4M at worst. The P3 Xeon dates from early 2001.
Now seriously, don't lie. I installed Vista on a dual 900MHz P3 Xeon machine with nvidia 6800 graphics, and Vista gave it an experience score of 1.0, which is incidentally the lowest possible score.
How is it a "cop out"? The current crop of Xeons have 3.0GHz clock speeds, huge caches, and excellent per-clock performance including single-cycle 128-bit packed operations. They are by any measure the finest x86 processors ever offered on the market. The fact that you get four of them per socket is just a bonus.
Also, I can think of one general-purpose workload that is easy to parallelize: sorting. Tons of applications require fast sorting, from word processors to mail programs and web browsers all the way down to plain old sort(1).
I don't get it. Why have there been so many reviews of these systems lately? They have been available for many months. I ordered one in February. Anybody with a large PC case has had access to these dual-quad systems in the EATX form factor since the beginning of 2007 at least.

I drink as much as I like whenever I like, because I don't have a car. Thanks for asking.
Oh, no! Only 4096 levels! Heavens!
A 12-bit DAC is perfectly suitable for this type of thing. What were you hoping for?

If an application cannot simply be recompiled on a 64-bit host then it is programmed incorrectly. End of story.
