The truth is that Debian unstable is still more stable than most other distros.
I love Debian, I'm using Unstable right now, but I would be warry to call it "more stable that most other distros". I recall the lilo package being screwed up and preventing me from booting (of course a boot disk fixed the problem). There have been a few other problems, but nothing too terrible, although a less experienced person might find it a bit daunting.
Whenever Unstable bites me I always promise myself I will stick with Testing, but as that gets too old for my tastes I always return. I'm not sure what that says about me, but for my money Debian is the best; I just wish they'd make their website a little more pleasing
Personally, I'd like to see The Rock in this film - I think he'd make a great Batman,
You sir have made me violently ill with such a comment. The rock deserves a role commensurate to his acting skill and mental prowess. Yes, scrubbing my toilet for the rest of his life seems appropriate to me.
C++ has lousy run-time type information. Perl lets you interrogate a class's structure and capabilities at run-time: class name, hierarchical relationships, and method compatibility. (I'm mostly quoting from Conway's book here.)
You're referring to what java calls Introspection/Reflection and I have heard rumors this is in the works for C++ as well.
The absolute best part about rental cars is treating them as..., well... someone else's car:)
If I'm being tracked I may have to be accountable for slaloming between road cones, speeding, and generally treating a large object moving at break-neck speeds as a go-kart. We can't have that.
UsePrivilegeSeparation
Specifies whether sshd separates privileges by creating an
unprivileged child process to deal with incoming network traffic.
After successful authentication, another process will be created
that has the privilege of the authenticated user. The goal of
privilege separation is to prevent privilege escalation by con
taining any corruption within the unprivileged processes. The
default is ``yes''.
Since it defaults to yes (on Debian at least) I don't think we have too much to fear.
I'm capable of saying "I am." I'm also capable of saying "I am not," "I am the king of France," and the like. The question is what endures from moment to moment.
google.com = 10 character
alltheweb.com = 13 characters
I'll stick with google, those 3 extra characters are too much for me. Seriously though, alltheweb seems pretty good, I tried their mp3 search and it was ok, not really comparable to the myriad p2p clients, but still a nice feature.
It does pose a very interesting question. If you could become quite wealthy due to sleezy and underhanded action(s) which would ultimately damage your reputation and that of the Internet, would you? Perhaps this would make a good poll question.
Just because some people are not expert in the use of computers does not make them "stupid". <snip>
You're absolutely correct, assuming of course the original poster was speaking frankly. I am of the opinion that his intent was to be humorous; and that your sense of humor needs a little overclocking.
Hmmm.
I like Windows XP.... Why can't I be allowed to say this without:
a) Being told that Linux is better on the desktop (it isn't, for me at least)
b) Being accused of being a Microsoft corporate junky (I'm not, at least not when I last checked)
Jeese, perhaps because you are voicing your opinion on a pro-linux site. It truly seems inane to me to expect anything other than a pro-linux response here.
Yes this site is also about technology, innovations, and Cowboys, but expect zealots (and many regular users) to be a little tender when inadequacies in their OS of choice are uncovered.
Might I recommend here [therockalltimes.co.uk] as a good place to start.
I am devoting my life to the continuation of global warming. I promise I will not rest until the North/East (my home) has Florida like weather conditions year round.
NudeCheerleader(part1).mpeg isn't going to be the same as NudeCheerleader(part1).mpeg
This is where a good hashing algorithm would be great, e.g. md5 hashes to determine if different users have the same item. This seems mandatory, they'd be silly not to have something like this in place
Quit compaining about the best thing that could realistically happen to computing right now.
This is hardly the best thing that could happen. As soon as cloning is perfected I plan to encourage my friends to grow their own Linus clones and force them to work full time on our OS of choice.
This is much better than AOL polluting another thing I love with ads.

Americans.....
Disclaimer: I too am an American, calm down.
Are you claiming that the man page is lying? :)
The version I have been using claims it is the default (or its man page does). Perhaps you are right, I'm not familiar with previous versions.

main(O){10<putchar(4^--O?77-(15&5128>> 4*O):10)&&main(2+O);}
e.g. no ';' before the 4. It's not nearly as exciting as I thought it would be, but stellarly obfuscated none the less.
No longer must we verbally assault strangers via the Internet, now we may physically assualt them in person. Thanks Slashdot.

But I really am the king of France.
Ok, maybe I'm not, but I swear I used to be.

Thanks, you're right, I suppose I was thinking [0-9]{1,} which as you say would simply be [0-9]+.
I've had good luck guessing passwords using the method of adding a number to the user's name: e.g. someGuy's password is probably someguy[0-9]+[0-9]*
Please don't. Sorry, buy guys aren't attracted to computer chicks.
Are you speaking fomr the perspective of a jilted girl geek or one of the rest of us?
Perhaps I'm weird, but I'd kill for a computer geek girlfriend. I'd really like to find someone as into watching dune for the 100th time as I am.
That's hardly a good comparison because I would tinker with any computer which was unfortunate enough to be located in my house.
My apartment is always low on toilet paper (damn roommates), so I think I could put a printed copy to good use.
Actually, Duckman and The Critic are on Comedy Central [comedycentral.com] late Sundays/early Mondays.
Yes, but they are not new episodes
No, I saw it, but reality is dull, we all can benefit from a little fantasy. Note to self: eat more fiber.
