This depends on your definition of "killer app". Right now I'm using LaTeX, Mathematica, a number of network applications, occasionally compilers and so-forth all on Fedora. Office apps don't show up in my sphere. And then there are the compute clusters downstairs --- all Linux-based. Linux is a fantastic platform for technical computing, which for me has always been its "killer app".
I presume the host must need PAE enabled, either that or VirtualBox somehow manages to supplant or extend the host OS's memory management logic somehow.
I'm a theoretical physicist. Just looking through a stack of papers on my desk from the U.S. and Europe, all have names in surname alphabetical order. Go take a random sample from arXiv:hep-{pt}h.
I can certainly back this up, from my experience the first author on a paper does 80% of the work, the next few work in the same lab and contributed in some minor way and the last few are the people you put on the grant application to have any chance of getting money.
I can't back that up at all.
In all the papers to which I contributed, the names were in alphabetical order.
Doesn't everything get "shipped to your door in plain, discreet packaging" these days? I've never bought a photographic lens and had it arrive in anything other than a plain brown cardboard box wrapped in the courier's shipping bag.
Seriously, is there some company out there that incurs extra costs by shipping its goods in packaging marked "VIBRATOR INSIDE"?
One of the reasons we purchase legos (both for our son, and as gifts for other kids) is that they are one of the few toys you can easily purchase which are still made in the first (or at least second) world.
...BY ROBOTIC SLAVES. When Skynet gets serious, you realise that we'll all be forced at gunpoint to operate injection moulding machines?

So don't buy it.
I think it's a corruption of "get" implying "ill-gotten" or something. See http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/git#Etymology

Yep. And the poor can just go fuck themselves.
Yes, for memory protection. Oh, you mean swap. Well,
not everything mapped into a process's address space is in constant use. Swap it out, use the RAM for...

That's the great disturbance in the reality-distortion field. I bet the Organas were Mac users, too.
Seriously, now, why do we even give a short one for what the "National Institute on Media and the Family" think?
GTFO raising the standard of humour here in Idle with your post-modern puns!
Because blue is a nicer colour than brown, translucent grey-white, or blood-stain red.
Yep, and take photos of it.
And then post those photos.
And tag the participants.
And set up a group for Rollers-over-and-Takers-of-It.
Why did I click "Read More" again? Back I go, retrace the steps...
Huh, yeah. Let's have some boobs instead. Oh, God, I foresee a wave of Spread-em-sheet porn...
Kinda like this?
Well, if they're to be believed, we're actually already being run over by Terminators: 101s, 888s, the 1000-series, Shirley Manson, etc., etc.
Thanks for the tip... I'll try that next time.
You know, on some flights these don't flip up. So if you get on a aeroplane, and the arm-rest is a bit warm and musty...
...And he died for your sins.
Whoa... cue ALSA vs. OSS flamewar in 3... 2... 1...
Does this person by any chance know U. R. Rong?
Go lookup EAP-TLS.
