bamboo seems like it would be a bitch to fix if splintered the material or cracked it somehow
The article says bamboo pieces are glued to the steel joints, just dissolve the glue and replace the piece that is starting to break or broken. That sounds way cheaper than usual.
The only problem would be finding another bamboo piece of the exact diameter...
By the wording of the quote it seems it's talking about "computer crashes" (which I read as "needs rebooting"):
Mr. Gates acknowledged today that the company's error reporting service indicated that 5 percent of all Windows-based computers now crash more than twice each day.
Anyways, i would like to know which percent crashes "only" once each day or once every 2 days... my guess: 50%
that depends, maybe he was talking about an UK/Germany trillion: n 1: (in Britain and Germany) the number that is represented as a one followed by 18 zeros;
and you were talking about an US/France trillion: 2: (in the United States and France) the number that is represented as a one followed by 12 zeros; "in England they call a trillion a billion"
No, no... you didn't got their strategy: they're giving that computers to the next enemy they have to fight.
First objective is demoralizing(sp?) them with the crashes, the second is claiming they got Windows of Microsoft Destruction
I'm not good at english but the Brazil's govt. does have a "Zero Famine Program" whatever that means...
"The Zero Famine Program announced by newly elected President Lula da Silva is mainly aimed at the northeast. The program's strategy includes creating living and working conditions to decrease the rate of migration to large cities, increase family income, and eradicate famine by increasing the access of staple foods such as dry beans, rice, corn, soybean derivatives, and others through social programs and government acquisitions within his 4-year term."
also note that:
"the country's total population at the end of 2002 is estimated at 175 million people. Nearly 49 million people earn US$340 or less per year"

Not in this case, Brazil has a bad economy now, including some famine. Reducing costs in government needs to be mandatory.
Also it's not a total change, some software can be propiertary (20%) and i believe in this economical context open source software is the best solution in more than 80% of the cases. With the aditional openness benefit of knowing what the hell your software is doing with your data, of course.
There was a bug affecting uptime that _could_ have caused this.
It's explained in the FAQ link of that Netcraft page you just linked:
Additionally HP-UX, Linux, Solaris and recent releases of FreeBSD cycle back to zero after 497 days, exactly as if the machine had been rebooted at that precise point. Thus it is not possible to see a HP-UX, Linux or Solaris system with an uptime measurement above 497 days.

Right. You'll get inconscient(sp?) before smoking all that pot (even 1/4 of it)
Probability of death by smoking pot is zero.
Is not like alcohol or other drugs, which can kill you by overdose. AFAIK there haven't been any reported deaths for smoking too much pot.
No need for a book, I have already heard about a beer-drinking diet, it's:
1. Don't eat for a week.
2. Instead drink beer (and water, optionally)
3. ???
4. profit! err... weight loss!!
And remember: talk to your medic before trying any diet...

The more we are, the better
Seven months already? mmm it seems to correlate with the increase in the amount of bugs resolved lately, see graph:

Not only that, but you provide beer from the abbey of Leffe to the rest of the world!

(mmmmmmmmmmmmmm)
Thanks Belgium

Heh, good catch ;)
But I think he's somehow right, per capita number of people in the US is >1 due to overweight problems
Disclaimer: It's a joke, I'm fat too...
I aggressively agree
hardrive? you lucky bas****!
Back in my day we booted the kernel from punched cardboards!
read Documentation/Changes, there's the list of software needed to compile/run it, and their required versions.
If you're running 2.4 in an updated box now, you'll only need module-init-tools, me thinks
that depends, maybe he was talking about an UK/Germany trillion:
n 1: (in Britain and Germany) the number that is represented as a one followed by 18 zeros;

They made a port of Contiki for the GameBoy(orig.), but i can't find instructions to .... erm... "install" it. There's only an screenshot...
/. in the GB :P
Can't wait till i can read
That would make an interesting article too, IMHO.

*Cough!* While I applaud Apple's choice of KHTML, and think it shows some promise, it's way behind Mozilla.
Behind? not in my experience. I often find pages working with Konqi that wont work with Mozilla (my bank account page, in example)
But sometimes other pages work only in Mozilla....
Each one is better than the other in some aspects. I like to use em complementarily(sp?).

Hi, welcome to Slashdot
You must be new here, right?
couldn't have said it better wish i had mod points...
it works for me downloading the GNU/Linux version :)
thanks to parent.parent
sorry for being redundant but this is e.x.a.c.t.l.y. what happened to me too
(i'm not alone... *yipeee!*)
I bet that will be fixed in 3.4, with the inclusion of precompiled headers...
see gcc 3.4 projected changes here
