Sweet... bittorrent links for us who don't like to bring small sites to its knees (we'e a 1% european minority of slashdot, who read the f*cking articles, and not just reload the browser on a page).
Also, the total cost of the film seems to have been somewhere along the lines of $1000 (NZ, $500 US). Maybe they didn't include the cost for Adobe Premiere (which they state they used). Maybe they'd bought it before hooting the film. Or something.
I also note that some people already noticed the bt link, as my connection is now brought to its knees (at 1337 peers, and all seeds fleeing things like that happen).
Trailer looked really nice, despite the accent which you Americans associate with beer.
And so help me, the next time I have someone point to the monitor and call it the "Computer"
I wonder if you've ever used Sun thin clients. Where the f*ck would you point if not at the monitor? The stupid-looking keyboard with keys on all the wrong places? The mouse? The server, where most of the workload takes place?
It seemed to draw massive CPU, but here it is. Note that the reason it wasn't so responsive was because I was compiling openoffice-ximian in the background. And I was running the XFree nvidia driver, instead of their proprietary... Maybe you'll have better luck.

Companies buy workstation with no preloaded OS. So, that's spend $1500 and buy software yourself.
If a company was given a choice between these, some of them might have the guts to buy a vmware license, use a Linux installation and try it all out. The console is, after all, very effective.
Blinkenlights should be made standard on all new computers.
Maybe for showing process activity, some 256 lights, RAM usage, 256 lights. Porn-surfing 512 lights.
Number of lights chosen proportionally to actual usage. Since porn takes up all activity on public computers, and CPU+RAM is all of that usage, the lights are divided evenly.
give them a floppy with the proper security patch on it.
LOL. None of my computers have floppies (ranging from AMD-K5 100MHz and up to AMD XP 2100+), and never have. If I was required to use a floppy, I'd give it to a friend and download the contents over FTP. But you just revoked my DHCP lease.
Also note that a computer sending out those TCP/UDP packets may not even be infected. They may do it just for fun;)
What does this mean? Could one restrict who is allowed to use the code and thereby restrict who may view the source? In a commercial application this means that one could produce a program and then sell it and only allow purchasers to view the source, correct?
From what I read in the license, it seems like the end-users won't have their rights restricted, just like with the GPL. They may if they like distribute the files to the general public.

That, or the task is to break some simple cryptography.
Say, find the 2 primes in a 32-bit number, or whatever requires a bit of time, and is easily generated by the server. The randomizer need niot even be cryptographically strong, though it would help.
Checking if it is valid will be easy, since you generate the question from the answer.
Actually, if you tried 2.6.0 you should see that it isn't as broken as you say. Its stability is excellent (I'm thinking of bringing the test1 kernel down just to test2, been running it since the first test was released).
Sure, some old modules won't work, but nvidia-kernel, nvidia-glx and vmware all work. Also, ALSA works straight from the kernel. True ATAPI burning is also nice (no more SCSI emulation).
I think it's a Good Thing (tm) that they release a beta of their OS, simply because it will make it easier for them to deploy the kernel when it is called stable.
Actually, this is a standard on how to create pages so people will be able to access the page even if they for some reason can't use bleeding-edge graphical browsers (blindness) or can't hear the audio of Flash animations / audio clips.
It's a standard that tells you _how_ to use the already existing standards (such as the alt property on tags or providing transcripts to audio feeds).
Then again, I'm sure you already knew this, and thus posted this as an AC. Still, people may not be as smart as you, so I'll post it anyways =D
While it may be relevant to have a comparison between different AAC encoders the trial would have much more relevance to real life if it had included ogg and mp3.
Yes, but when comparing ogg to aac to mp3, you would want to use the best encoder for each type, right?
QT seemed to be on top of its league in every song. Thus, when we next see which format is best, we use QT/AAC for the AAC entry. The test is/was relevant.
Firebird needs to evolve. And it needs a grass roots movement promoting it. If every developer out there could convert 10 people - and those 10 convert 10 more. Well I don't have to tell geeks how to do math. Do I?
Nope, and we'll all count correctly despite the fact you didn't tell us how to do;)
Any bets on how long it will take for SCO to come out and say that the programmer in question was workign without the authority or knowledge of his supervisors?
I'd say one should have the option to actually work when at ones job even without the explicit authorization of ones supervisors.
I think that we can: a) Assume that bosses at SCO are clueless and don't know if their underlings are working or not. b) Assume that if this be their defence, and they do win, that hackers around the world will stop working due to the fact that they could be held liable if they do in fact work.
I doubt the government is going to be playing Q3 deathmatch on their systems, or watching a huge amount of pr0n) that the average 'Doze or 'Nuxers need for their computing "experience".
Actually, the reason they chose Linux in the end was the fact that Quake3 performance increased by 5% when switching OS. (Note: Actual statistics isn't the ones I made up on the spot, but from my own experience, they are merely 40% lies).
As for porn, they'll probably use the DVD Player next to them, or load Xine.
According to reliable sources, VMWare would only be used for the advanced Microsoft AI known as Clippy.
The same would be true for Wine. When running programs that are memory-and-CPU-intensive (read: 2-pass VBR MPEG-2 @ 8000 kbps), Windows will just kill the application.
Wine on the other hand managed to encode it just fine, with as much as 5% increased time for encoding due to overhead.
And yes, VMWare is just great. While the emulated OS doesn't have the same responsiveness, it's great for development.
Actually, some countries have laws that prohibit using words like "best" in product promotions, since it is most commonly a subjective feeling.
Example: The phrase "The most comfortable bed you can buy", would never appear in Swedish advertisements. There is however one company that promotes with "Try to find a better bed". Carlsberg has "Probably the best beer in the world", etc, etc.
But, sure. They're all gonna have some special buzzword/whatever to promote their product, despite the fact that the product and price with correct placement is a real killer when it comes to selling stuff (noone wants to call you or enter your shop to get to know the price of the product).
We also know for a fact that we pay for commercials. A company I sometimes work for is only having ads in really small (free) local papers and specialized magazines, because they need the money to get going.
There aren't very many legitimate forms of adverts. There are however deceptive, convincing and informative (in order of dislike, most hated comes first) forms of them. Thank you for reading at -1, Karma-whore.
The best way I've found how to tell people like your mom what to click and what to click is:
If it looks like porn, it is what it say: Don't click.
If it is an installer that pops up and you don't know what it is: Click cancel.
If it is an "Error box" (Windows Gui), first check if it popped up as a new window (if it is on top of a page, "banner-style", they can safely ignore it), then move the mouse over it. If the "Hand" (the URL-hand) appears, it is a link, and thus probably an ad: Don't click.
If it is an acyual error box: Read what it says. Most commonly, they tell you what happened, and what they say is important if it is an error that needs to be fixed.
The great thing about my mom is that she basically didn't notice when I installed Opera for her. I click F12->Open requested pop-up windows only. This suppressed most advertisements. Other browsers have similar tools to make browsing easier.
I can see your problem. Ads suck. Though I'm guessing it only applies to people in the US, I do hope they (doubleclick) have to pay a hefty fine. It's something that affects us all.
This should be no problem at all with a decent DVD player. Most (or... at least many) DVDs are capable of outputting the signal in PAL or NTSC, despite what format it was encoded in. Sure, the framerate is a little off, so you get a bit more skipping - but if your TV won't handle it (my 5 year old $120 14" TV handled both NTSC/PAL, BTW), it's God-sent.
The Pioneer DVR-A05 is like the standard. It's a cheap, and incredibly reliable DVD-R(W). Its support for different media is unsurpassed, and I've yet (after 100 DVDs burned) to get a DVD that failed to burn. Except for one disc, but that was because a lightning bolt caused a brownout. I was still able to write the contents to the DVD-R (not RW) despite the fact that I'd already started on it. I'm quite amazed it didn't turn out to be #1.

Hmmm... None of the kernels I've tried does that. I've been using USB Mice since 2.5.xx with none of the pain 2.4.xx used to give me.
They did however break ALSA for VIA82XX chipsets, or so it seems. *Sigh*.
I still think 2.6.0-test2 was the better of the kernels when it came to stability and audio.
That's 'virtually secure coprocessor'.
A coprocessor that's 'actually secure' is something we'd all want but never would get.
It's actually the hidden option:
Companies buy workstation with no preloaded OS. So, that's spend $1500 and buy software yourself.

Redhat is Budwiser, hands down. Every linux user has run Red Hat.
That's: Every american Linux user has run it.
I know I've never even touched a Red Hat box. Myself, I'm a Gentoo user.
I'm pretty sure there are lots of other people like me here in Europe. Most of my friends have only tried stuff like Debian and FreeBSD.
Then again, I've never tried Budweiser, either.
There--- Used the code you told me to.

Seriously: 'format c: \q' should do more than that, but you had to create some smart script and hope that we added an extra '"'

Nope, and we'll all count correctly despite the fact you didn't tell us how to do
Binary 10*10 = Decimal 2*2 = 4 = Binary 100
Decimal 10*10 = 100
100 no matter how we count.
