The editors pick the questions, and the editors can see the total moderations applied (and know what the real score is).
There is no harm in modding up a +5 score question if you really agree with it, it will be noted. (Also, later downmods won't bring the score down)
Finally, I think the editors need to make sure they have MORE than 10 questions because they don't know how the interviewer will react to them beforehand: he may balk at one, refuse to answer, get angry, etc. and so they can go to "backup" questions.
I wonder if that happens ever? It would be nice to see in the article notes whether or not a set of other questions went unanswered, provided that sort of thing occured.
just an idea... a configuration file which presents paths w.r.t. your home directory for which you can set icons and shows up in the file browser for quick access. So you don't have to call it "My Pictures", it could be "Content Staging Area" or "Open Service Requests" or whatever you need them to be.
Admins could get users set up with defaults using a skeleton file in/etc/skel.d
gphoto2/kamera speaks PTP, usb-storage is a kernel driver.
gphoto2 only needs to know about camera models to be able to do things that are vendor-specific. There is a "general purpose subset" which, incidentally XP uses to give you plug-n-play access.
Good old SIGSEGV. That's what happens when you deference null pointers, write to memory that's not yours, etc.
It's the most common crash-n-burn error an application will experience.
Windows calls these "Program Errors" or something now in XP. I forget. It use to call them "Access Violations".
IIRC only Windows ME->98->95 had the "feature" that you could destroy other program's memory if you didn't follow all the rules.
This is a common troll. "I did post production on movie." "I work for XYZ corporation, and we will have press release soon" "I am a staff writer for XYZ journal, and in our new issue..."
No evidence, no content, just an empty, poorly worded promise for something to come that gets modded up without CHECKING. (hint, it's not on at 7 PDT or EDT, in fact, it's going to be all thanksgiving re-runs, all day)
Every moderator who modded this up should get SLAUGHTERED in M2 for such stupidity.
SuSE and RedHat do a good job with _online_ documentation of things they added, and writing some for things that don't have it but should (project maintainers' fault).
The closest thing to such a book would be written by the LSB or UnitedLinux people, and right now all they have are requirements documents. It'll take awhile for it to solidify so that good Handbook-type-stuff could be written about it.
There is always the Linux Kernel Development (check O'Reilly). It'll tell you more than you'd ever want to know about Linux.
MORON. Oh wait, I get it, I should pirate it. I think I will... just to spite those API clenching butt-tyrants.
Which is why I find Solaris tolerable even if it's

closed source. You get the whole "developer" kit with the OS (minus the Sun Forte suite... BOO HISS). And lots of documentation and ability to automate and tweak the thing as desired.
Perhaps MS is "making up" for adding DRM by appealing to developers/admins exposing all the things we can do clearly. Trade some obfuscation for openness.
In the last few days Gator has tried to litigate to protect it's software from being called "spyware" by websites, prefering the term "adware". They have also decided to change name to Claria.:=)
I think this comment is a rather clever jab at this whole reactionary attitude to public electronic discourse of notorious parties -- parties who are trying to stake a claim, to promote a contrary image on the Internet themselves.
And for all you analogisticphiles out there: Luskin is to Stalker, as Gator is to Spyware.
There is something like a black bar covered in velvet on the floor, or some other sort of obstacles, which is partially obscuring her dangling pussy-lips.
that kernel-based GUI or DirectX in NT is somehow faster than X11 with XVfb or XRender extensions.
X11 is network aware, but that doesn't mean a local application has to use the TCP/IP stack.
Unix sockets (which are like glorified event dispatch queues/shm) , shared memory, it's all in there.
What makes X11 slow is the lack of video cards with proper acceleration support.
Conversely, give this a try: In Windows Server 2003, go into the display menu, select Advanced, then Acceleration, and turn that slider all the way to the left. Try using the "svga" driver only as well.
WELL GEE WHIZ! A little slow, huh? How do you like the plodding repaint when you scroll in IE?... jesus.
And, guess what, NT uses something akin to the mach microkernel. So they need a macrokernel now?
So you're saying they should just abandon: HAL DirectX Object ACLs NTFS 5 NDIS (well, okay, that's debatable).NET Framework and that bitching MMC snap-in architecutre?
All things that Microsoft has in NT that are arguably more sophisticated features than most other OSs, and yet they should abandon that for BSD?::shakes head:: The groundwork for LongHorn is already laid out and it is quite sophisticated. BSD would be a step back.
No, LongHorn is about "trusted" code, DRM and mutlimedia enchancements, and a whizzy-tizzy UI that no one here really cares about. Plus figuring out how to pair down the Jet DB engine to work super-reliably as a filesystem component.
Maybe they'll throw in the stateful firewall from BSD (ipfw), instead of hording their in-house one as an expensive upgrade. That'd make me happy.

1) invoke command like this:
$ your binary input
2) upload input in the "files" section
3) wait...
The restriction is your program must be capable of running in a demand based mode by the contents of a file.

Dont worry, this is slashdot. No one knows you're a dog.

it also boasts USB mass storage support (at USB 2.0, whee!).
So it's a OGG capable, long battery lifed, removable hard drive with multimedia playback.
And it's a bitching black/blue design. I think Dell should just forget about it.
