You call us racists - I found this on your user info page:
... With women, I like to date any girls except asian girls. I am through dating them since a slut I was dating lied to me. Asian girls only like you for power and money. They only want to party and have fun while you work hard on weekends and make appointments while they sleep around. Don't talk to me on this board if you are an asian girl. I don't care what you have to say....
Yes, rhetorical question.
We may as well ask why there aren't as many women:
plumbers
electricians
digger drivers
Before the abolishment of common sense in 1993, the question was never asked why some jobs seemed to be predominated by one particular gender.
No, it's nothing to do with heavy lifting, hard thinking and so on. Surely by now we must understand that there are actually more than a couple of differences between men and women?
Many times before, I've had to recompile the entire kernel for simple device support. You're deluded if you think this is not sometimes necessary.
Yes, it's sometimes necessary. I'd like to know what you mean by simple devices, though. Has it occurred to you that you fucked up the kernel in the first place, and needed to recompile it every time you missed something?
Conversely I think you're not so much deluded as ignorant if you think a recompile is often necessary.
The absurdity of it still makes me shake my head. I type this now using Mozilla in Windows XP.
Stay there, matey. Linux ain't for you.
Either
Don't use it, or
Stop bitching about it and fix it in source yourself. Or at least file a bug report.
There's no shortage of people who can find something they don't like about software.
As a matter of fact I had to compile a new module last night because it didn't ship with Red Hat.
There we go, so you don't have to recompile a kernel after all. It's not your or my fault the ntfs module didn't come with you distro, it just didn't. The point is, you're wrong, you don't have to recompile your kernel.
If all you've got to throw at me is an odd bedtime comment, you need to go take a breather and get back to me.
Forgotten about that kernel / module / reboot thingy already have we?
You disagree with me, so I deserve to be modded as "-1 Redundant." The true cliche of Slashdot.
It's that I'm getting fscking sick of your "endlessly hyped to be" comment. The only thing that is seemingly endless is your hammering of this statement. You make the same point over and over again, nothing to do with whether or not I agree with it (did I say I disagree?)
That is what is -1, Redundant. You are probably quite right that not many people use X over network, but I've never heard it endlessly hyped, because as you say, not many people use / know about it.
In sarcasm: I'm sure: The need to recompile the entire kernel whenever I install a new piece of hardware is indeed a great advantage over Windows
Read the idiot docs before reading the 1337 docs. Then you'd have known that you don't need to recompile for new hardware. You must have turned loadable modules support off in the first place if you can't use them.
It's a whopping great big web-press that's about 120 metres long. Each unit is about the size of a large car standing on end. 2pp and 20pp per minute are both nowhere near the 30,000 per hour it does (which is damn slow in terms of web presses) with a page size of just over A2.
It hasn't actually killed two people, it's given two people haircuts and one very sore fingers, and probably several more I haven't heard of.
So yes, my frivolous posting has very little to do with the topic, in fact. Mind you, the topic was "printers" and that can mean a few things. Glad you enjoyed a laugh.
Exactly this sort of thing is used in newspaper and magazine printing (web offset printing) too keep the four process colours in register which isn't entirely dissimilar to the calibration of the colour cart. to the black. except all four colour are independent on a web press.
A series of small diamonds or dots are imposed on the plate, in the gutters that are usually trimmed off before the product goes out the door. On the press a camera and stroblight monitor the positions of the dots and diamonds to each other, and feedback info to the printing units so as to continuously keep all the plates in register to each other.
The pressman must still check the work, these devices are more to keep the job in register, rather than to get it in register.
Yes, the whole process would be a complete waste of time and money on an inkjet. Go on, mod me offtopic now thanks.
Even tho he prints like a fiend (he's a lawyer) it'll probably outlive him, and he picked it up used for a mere $400. It also uses a fairly generic driver (if a program or OS will speak to a LJ2, that's good enough).
We've got a thirty year old nine-unit Toshiba that's done over 100 million impressions. It's outlived two people! Well, the two it's gobbled up anyway. Neither of them were lawyers unfortunately, apprentices if memory serves me right. Pity, took weeks getting the hair out of the thing.
Oh FFS already! Could everyone please grab a globe or and atlas and locate the international fscking date line?
You may as well argue when New Year's really happens or Christmas or whatever else you celebrate.
Do we wait until our exact time of birth to celelbrate our birthday? The only reason I'm going by GMT is because noon here in NZ is long gone, and I don't start work until 3PM, which IMO is the best place for April Fool jokes. Fortunately, every manager has taken the day off too.
It'd be even cooler still if they release a PPC version also. (Add other platforms you use here). Then you've got all you need and you're not platform dependent!
It was from some spammer advertising a cable descrambling device. I talked to the guy who answered the phone (I love calling 800 numbers attached to spam), and he was ruder than he should have been.
I always wondered if that was the story behind your sig - good work! Just for that little piece of handywork I'm going to fan you. Please don't hesitate to update your.sig with a new 800 number and keep the wheel going round.
One language I have never regretted learning (probably mainly because I work in prepress) is Postscript. Yes, it is a language. Yes, a programming language. Really.
Yes, you pretty much only use it for things that end up on paper or film (which is quite often for me), but the language itself can be used for computation. The results don't always need to be printed, and you can create your own dictionaries of synthetic commands to use all the time.
And you learn about stack-based languages. It's really quite powerful. It shouldn't be your first language, but neither should it be your last if you want to write code to output text and graphics.
Hint: Computers without cigarette lighters commonly have 300W or so for a powersupply. Technical deduction: In a computer with a cigarette lighter, the cigarette lighter isn't the only thing that uses electricity.
I think that point is, since they say it's "architectural limitations" make fixing it impossible:
NT4 was always vulnerable
NT4 is currently vulnerable
MS, in seven years, never made NT4 secure. And they can't.
It didn't just get this vulnerability, it was only just discovered. It always had it, and from this track record you should expect the same from future releases.
In the not too distant future, win2k will be deemed insecure and unpatchable due to "architectural limitations".
...this also purchased:
450W Power Supply
And what's the bet that's _just_ for the ciggie lighter! These things can use 5 amps @ 12V! Might explain your PC hanging every time you push it in...
The recording device can survive concussion and damage at most a few centimetres of tape, what was wound onto the take-up spool will probably be OK.
The engineering required to remove said tape and play it back on a different set of heads is much less complicated, touchy, and error-prone than that of say, a hard disk.
Attempts at falsifying / otherwise fudging the data would be more easily apparent, IMHO.
Because it's linear, concussion might be apparent in the recording, but it won't cause it go completely haywire.
The tape medium itself is not too rigid, but put inside a toughened metal box (I don't know what they're made of) and you're right, we shouldn't be too surprised so many people still use tape. Even if a small part of it is damaged, it probably won't have destroyed the whole recording, unlike many other all-or-nothing storage media.
Exactly - couldn't agree more.
I mean, what's with this, found in mandrake and redhat:
alias rm="rm -i"
What!?!?! Coz it's a good idea to get used to an interactive rm, isn't it?/sarc.
Slack can be as good as any other distro going, but it can never be as bad as any other distro going, if you know what I mean.

Okay Okay Okay!! Even I believe you now!
Now would someone throw this guy at least a -1, Redundant already?
Maybe put a catch for /not as widely used as it is endlessly hyped/ in the lameness filter? I dunno. It'll probably wind up being the next cliche.

Software, then, must have negative mass, because the punched cards lose mass with ever 1 "written" to it.

Err, HTML: HyperText Markup L - l -
lingo?
If HTML is not a language, what then, are the likes of English and Italian, just to name a couple?
HTML has conditionals, but not branches. Because of this, it is not a programming language.
