Just make sure you put it on the P2P networks so that we can get through Linux's nagware screens! My copy of Linux is a 30-day evaluation copy and it's about to shut down!
Ok, you're right. I think I actually just want consistant tabs... it's been a long week.
I was just trying to find a bug in some code written by a number of different authors: One guy used tabs, one used sets of 4 spaces, one guy used sets of 2 spaces... and of course, 8 indents means 8 nested statements. it's easy to get lost in there.
Most of the giant planets observed in extrasolar systems have very elliptical orbits
Aren't most planets detected by the looking for stars with a wobble? It seems that a wide elliptical orbit would cause the star to wobble in an exagurated way.
In our own solar system, most of the planets have a very circular orbit, and thus the Sun doesn't wobble as much.
Therefore, we can't really see solar systems like our own, because they are less wobbly and are harder to detect. Right?
In order to use a computer for anything remotely interesting, most kids will figure out how to type on their own.
It used to be more necessary to teach students how to touch type because computers weren't as common as they are today. Before I graduated high school in 1991, I wrote nearly all of my term papers in cursive, and I never took an official typing class, yet I still knew how to touch type.
Today, most kids have computers at home and many write their term papers
If you want to use an instant messenger, you need to learn how to type somewhat efficiently. Sure, many people speak some 'dum pidg3n lol' language, but they'll quickly learn that using 'u' instead of 'you' won't work on a resume or business document.
Looking at the resultant cars, who do you think had a better approach?
If you're just looking at the quality of the cars, then I'd say the Germans.
But maybe it's not quite that simple. I'm more concerned about who gets me what I want with the least amount of cost or effort.
However, a nice infrastructure doesn't necessarily mean you'll produce the best products. The Germans may have nice roads, but it's because the roads are heavily subsidized by taxes.
The French may have bad roads, but they cost less in taxes. If can just buy a car with good suspension you'll be ok. If you want to save money, you can deal with the bumpy roads.
And both countries have alternatives to cars: The excellent (but subsidized) rail systems.
I certainly could see some authorities trying that, but hopefully most of them have higher priorities on their mind, such as fighting violent crime.
I know the guerilla showings around here are structured in a way to make it difficult for the police to prosectute anybody.
It's illegal for YOU to show one of these DVDs to a bunch of other people, but it's not a violation of the law for them to watch it. Or at least, it's probably not a big violation.
If nobody takes ownership of the DVD and projector, they'll have a really hard time procecuting anyone for any serious breach of the law. Not to mention risking a riot. Maybe they'll seize the DVD and projector, maybe they'll take the generator.
In the end it will take alot of effort and they won't have much to show for it.
I'm sure when the police find a bunch of people tresspassing on someone elses property, teens drinking, people smoking pot and watching DVDs, they'll be real upset at the copyright violations.
I think the whole thrill for the participants is that most of the activity is illegal...
An acre of U.S. corn yields about 7,110 pounds of corn for processing into 328 gallons of ethanol.
We're not talking about Ethenol, which is an alcohol-fuel (Bioalcohol?). We're talking about bio-diesel-- usually in the form of recycled vegetable oil.
Wait, what? My mother-in-law gets processed biodiesel for about a buck a gallon (Near Eureka, Northern California, where Gasoline is over $2 per gallon and dino-diesel is less then $2 per gallon).
Granted, I don't think her 'distributor' is looking to make a hefty profit, but he pays for the equipment, labor and some profit. Even if he raised his prices by 50%, he would still be cheaper then regular diesel.
I think he bought a processor for over $1000, and gets the grease for free. Sometimes the resturants pay him money to haul the grease away.
Well this is DNA, so there's no optical microscope involved.
Rosalind Franklin used X-rays to clarify DNA's structure. Her research was then shown to Crick and Watson without her knowledge, and the two men were then able to decypher the structure of DNA.
They got the Nobel Prize for their discovery. She wasn't included in the prize, even though she was critical in the discovery of the molecule's structure.
I also can't sleep because I'm stare at the ceiling thinking about network cables or parsing perl... code dreams are the worst.
My doctor gave me the following advise: Get the generic brand of Benadryl and save money.
If you can't sleep because of stress, don't take Tylenol PM just for sleeping because it also contains a painkiller, acetaminophen, which may upset your stomach.
If two Benadryl makes you groggy in the morning, try taking just one.
Benadryl and Tylenol PM both contain the same active sleeping ingredient: "Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride".
I picked up some generic Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride tablets at Costco yesterday for almost 20 times less then the cost of Benadryl ($0.02 per tablet instead of $0.30 for Benadryl).
In response to the other poster: Benadryl doesn't require a perscription because it is non-addictive. Perscription-grade sleeping pills are sometimes addictive (and EXPENSIVE).
Sadly, no. It uses the ICH6R chip which has some Raid functionality on the chip itself, but the ICH6R requires software drivers, and only supports Windows.
We have 8 of these boxes at my office. They are very nice for workstations.
However, we need to clear something up about this so-called "RAID array".
From the page: "4 ports Serial ATA 150 via ICH6R south bridge with RAID 0,1 support"
This box uses the Intel ICH6R chip and is software RAID. The box ships with drivers for Windows, but does not offer any drivers or support using ICH6R under Linux.
There are patches to the 2.6 kernel which let you use ICH5R, but why use an unsupported test module when you can just use the Linux MD kernel module instead. MD is well documented, stable and supported by the Linux community.
Not really. You still have the option of using expert mode.
Nobody is forcing you to use all of Gnome's tools. There are 'expert' configuration tools, you can use one of the many alternative file browsers out there, etc. You just need to be an expert to find them.

A 40 hour work week. Go home. Have a life. Come back refreshed and more productive.
You can violate the 80 column rule any time you want. Just do me one favor-- get rid of the tabs.
But remember, a 'tab' MUST be equal to 4 spaces or less. Destroy the tab character! Save the whitespace!
Nothing awakens the Hulk more then looking at code that someone indented with 8 tabs. Yarrrrg!
It comes down to the size.
It's hard to fit 4 adults in a Prius. If you put a baby seat in the back seat, the back seat is very uncomfortable.

I'm curious, do these open groupware (not to be confused with OpenGroupware) servers support open groupware protocols like POP, IMAP, iCal, WebDAV?
If so, then why is it so important to have an Outlook connector?
There are a number of clients which support open protocols.
Aren't we talking about open clients, open protocols and open groupware servers?
open source release conspiracy going on.
The Linuxworld Expo is taking place in San Francisco this week.
IBM and Novell probably just wanted to time their news releases with Linuxworld.

Biodiesel is more expensive than gas

Hm. The Nobel Prize has been rewarded posthumously before.
UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold received the award posthumously in 1961.

Well, if you live in the area and are looking for some place to hike, a Confluence is as good a goal as many other hiking locations.
And it'll be off the beaten path.
I think a Slashdotting counts as "two or more streams"...
confluence n.
1. A flowing together of two or more streams.
2. The point of juncture of such streams.
3. The combined stream formed by this juncture.
Does the system have on-board hardware RAID?
Sadly, no. It uses the ICH6R chip which has some Raid functionality on the chip itself, but the ICH6R requires software drivers, and only supports Windows.
So it's not true hardware RAID.
We have 8 of these boxes at my office. They are very nice for workstations.
However, we need to clear something up about this so-called "RAID array".

There are patches to the 2.6 kernel which let you use ICH5R, but why use an unsupported test module when you can just use the Linux MD kernel module instead. MD is well documented, stable and supported by the Linux community.
Here is a great writeup on the state of "Software RAID" and Serial ATA on linux.
... and gnome's response?
Force everyone to beginner mode.
Not really. You still have the option of using expert mode.
Nobody is forcing you to use all of Gnome's tools. There are 'expert' configuration tools, you can use one of the many alternative file browsers out there, etc. You just need to be an expert to find them.
Personally, I like the new Gnome defaults.
