Yeah I think that is what killed the original Battlestar Galactica. Everywhere they went, even asteroids, had inhabitants. I still bought the whole set on DVD though;)
On a related note, anyone ever notice that the only person they said "by your command" to on the first season of the new one was one of the Sharon Clones on Ragnar station?
Uh...wouldn't the same pertain to any software company where a dependency of their app/OS isn't tested or approved? I work in a Linux shop and we do the same thing with log files. "Oh I see here you were running a non-standard library when you compiled. This was not tested in-house so try putting the original/latest back on and it will work.".
I was banned from slashdot for over a month because of my open republican support here. It was all I talked about during the election trying to counter all the false accusations against Bush...yet I lost my ability to post on here. There was no flaming on my part, only links to facts. So um....it isn't like this is a Republican only thing. This is a "news" site that also kicks out members of the other party.
It works. I was number 283. That was at 11:38 my time.
The total number of registrants for this OS2 petition: 1063
This was at 11:55 my time. So it went up to 5 times the signatures in less than 20 minutes;)
I'm not entirely sure you submitted that many kernel bugs.
Write some code to test CD media, put a scratched CD in the drive (I used a pocket knife just to see how it would react), then watch the kernel not return control to the software. CTRL-C won't even work. It's an open issue still.
Maybe they changed the license agreement since I was in school, but we were able to use evaluation or educational copies of software (even got copies on floppy or in rare cases on CD in the books).
Learning to use it is a simple thought process towards the actual issue. Learning what to do when you try to open a file that says 'invalid format' or what to do when others using MS Office call or email saying they can't open yours is the actual issue here. I'm sure you and I could do it, but the honest truth is most people don't know that much about computers.
I thought the whole Fedora project WAS mass testing of "cutting edge technology for Linux". Have I been wasting my time submitting bugs? Most have been fixed that I submitted so far.
Biased site, maybe. I don't see it on this story though other than the fact he didn't like it. If I had the same problems he did (I read TFA), I wouldn't have given it more than a 6.8 myself. But he did have interesting facts to back up what he was saying. Nobody is disputing the facts in this thread so far. Only the opinions of GPL vs closed source and the target audience of Solars vs Linux.
Speaking of...I wanted to do something similar in my camper trailer for vacations or heading to the races. It would be nice to implement this along with some way to make my linux box auto scan and attach to the best non-encrypted signal. Can you do this on linux? I haven't found a way yet. It would be nice to just keep driving around the camp ground until I get a ping response;)
Oh wow I played empire.exe on my Tandy 1000 for weeks at a time. This is where that came from. Wow thanks! This is what got me hooked on strategy games back in the 80s.
Some IPs have multiple sites and have to resolve by url rather than IP. It probably isn't all of them giving you this problem but it may be part of it.
Want to save your favorite show? Buy everything that advertises during that timeslot.
Unfortunately I find this humorous on so many levels. Have you paid attention to what they advertise these days? Anti-depression pills, herpes treatment, pills that make you run around on a beach on a horse (wtf does that do anyway?), some $600 air purifier, a bowflex that jerks so bad it hurts, and a bunch of $19.95 revived plastic gimmics from the 60s. That seems to sum up the ads lately.
Lets see...the last thing I remember buying that I saw advertised on TV (not counting food because I eat at those places regardless) was the Battlestar Galactica DVDs (old series and new mini-series). Of course I would have seen those the next trip to the store anyway...
Whatever happened to advertising anyway? There is nothing but crap advertised on tv these days. How about some informative ads of some new DVD technology or something when it comes out?
I used to have a CD that did that. The problem was my BIOS or something liked to pull it back in on POST. Bah..made remote reboots with a bootable cd in the drive almost impossible.
Wouldn't an automatic update system serve to make the software more secure?
From TFA...this is a bluetooth virus. This is no different than all of the wireless routers broadcasting ssid with no encryption and the default admin password still on there. The only update that would save people would be one that forces you to change the password from 1234 if you have bluetooth enabled and are broadcasting your ID.
And, as long as they fail to learn anything from the last two elections, that's what they'll do.
I've been talking about that for years. They have had one democrat president in 25 years and he was the most right leaning of all of them. How do they answer? Sending a ticket of the 2 most left leaning people in history into the mix. That is why they lost even when so many hated Bush for the Iraq situation. The voters for almost 3 decades have tended to vote right-wing. They just can't figure it out. All they needed was someone midstream to win the last election. The people aren't voting for purple hearts and are well aware of how the mindset of a lawyer who specialized in something like hot tub lawsuits works. Changing your mind repeatedly doesn't help either.
I'll amend it before the flames start. She isn't in charge of but she is representing the state. I dare anyone to write to her office and see if anything is done.
I KNEW this was coming. I even searched for Bush on this page. Someone was going to Bush bash in the middle of an article about the state HILLARY CLINTON is in charge of. Did anyone even think about that? Double taxation rulings coming out of her state now? Its a sign of what will come if we go with her or her values. Someone has to fund all of the "free" stuff she wants us to have.
I'm in a credit union. They don't charge me a service fee anywhere. However, that does not stop the 3rd party ATM from charging you. I got dinged constantly and had to keep finding out where I could get a truely free cash withdrawal when I wasn't near one of my local credit union atm's.

Not to mention in open desert for that automated robot car competition they just had. None of them made it to the target distance.

LOL I paused the one where it showed all of the wookies and it looks like an invasion of sasquach (sp?).
Anger...fear....aggression....lead you to the dark side they will.

Step 3 = poop hardware, write slashdot article on how it can survive digestion.
You need to check the timeline again on NASA funding before Bush bashing.
NASA budgets since fiscal year 1992:
1993 $14.309 billion, existing NASA budget when Clinton took office;
1994 $14.568 billion, $259 million increase, first Clinton budget;
1995 $13.853 billion, $715 million decrease;
May 19, NASA's administrator unveiled plans to slash thousands of aerospace jobs
1996 $13.885 billion, $32 million increase;
1997 $13.709 billion, $176 million decrease;
1998 $13.648 billion, $61 million decrease;
1999 $13.654 billion, $6 million increase;
2000 $13.601 billion, $53 million decrease;
2001 $14.253 billion, $652 million increase;
2002 $14.892 billion, $639 million increase, first Bush budget;
2003 $15.000 billion, $108 million increase (estimated);
2004 $15.469 billion, $469 million increase (proposed);
So the only "struggle to not get...funding slashed" may not be what you think it is....
