While we're at it, allowing "protesters" to attack an embassy in your country and hold everyone inside hostage for years is also generally considered to be an act of war. So is sponsoring attacks against the armed forces of another country.
Yes, but luckily it's not an act of war to violently overthrow a democratically elected president and impose a friendly brutal dictator who kills his own people. At least, it's not an act of war if you succeed, because he's friendly...
Basically, there's plenty of acts of war to go around in this area.
What do you call it when both sides are complete and utter bastards?
I will forever remember the first "outsourced to India" project I worked on. It was a major rewrite of a core online application of one of the UK's banks. The first day the system was run in parallel with production the end of day batch took 26 hours to run.:-P
I've worked with AIX on and off. They have a system called 'errpt' (error report) which is in binary format and sits alongside syslog. It mostly logs hardware events and certain IBM and other vendors' tools and applications.
It's a pain in the ass to use. It's a good idea. It's listable in a couple of ways, and searchable. But sitting alongside syslog it's just harder to use. The tools to search it just don't have the flexibility to search the way you need to search a log file and the ways you can search a text file. Most of the time you just dump it to text and trawl through it that way.
So why the intermediate step? Just keep it in text format.

I think the two are mutually exclusive, unless there's some sort of strange hybrid "I find SQL injection on my Mac to be funny" personas out there.
Speaking just for myself, I find an SQL injection on your Mac would be hilarious...
The minute you have to add in extra steps just to install Linux then MS wins. Comparing Windows to Linux for first-time Linux users, they're going to think "Wow, Windows sure is easy to use. Not like this Linux stuff where before you can even put the CD in you have to start changing settings! When are they going to make Linux easy to use?"
And that sad fact is that this is probably just aimed at stopping people downgrading their PCs to older versions of Windows in the future. Linux - and Hackintoshes - are just the icing on the cake. MS' probable goal is to stop future PC buyers from buying a new PC and downgrading from the future Vista lemons that MS will push on everyone to the future XPs.
Kept your Windows 9 Blu-ray disk set from your last PC? Ah, sorry, you can't install it on your new Intel Core 8-64 machine - you have to keep the Windows 11 with the 'Verified User' core. Secure boot won't let you install anything older than Windows 11. Now remember, only you are licensed to use this OS instance, any other user must purchase and install their own license. Now, get ready for biometric verification, or the police will be querying why you have a stolen copy of Windows when the OS phones them...
Wow the paranoia is just rampant.
1. Why not just extradite him from the UK?
They tried and couldn't. There was such a stink from the misuse of the extradition treaty over the Natwest 3 that the UK government actually said no.
2. So the US controls the governments of the UK and Sweden...
No, you're making that up. No one said that. But the extradition treaty between Sweden and the US is different to the extradition treaty between the UK and the US.
He won't go to trial in Sweden. The moment he lands in Sweden the rape charges will be dropped and the Swedish government will be handed an extradition request to send him to the US for trail. And that was why he was fighting the charges.
Personally, I hope he does wind up in a fair trial in Sweden, I just don't think that was ever the goal.
As long as you're not testing hardware, parent is right. I've got two boxes running VMWare, and between them there isn't a network/OS/app setup I'm interested in that I haven't been able to simulate...
What original thought did Microsoft have 10 years ago? Even 20 or 30? Microsoft has actually built some good software on occasion, but they have never had an original thought since Bill Gates wrote a BASIC interpreter on paper tape in 1975.
They came up with the brilliant idea of forcing every PC manufacturer to sell only their product, destroying all competition and making billions. A very original idea at the time...
I do wonder why Apple aren't going after any of the other tablet manufacturers such as Sony, Motorolla, and even Amazon. Why only Samsung, a business partner of theirs?
Could it be that it's not just about rounded edges?
If it drives up the price of salt then it may spur desalination projects making more drinkable water available. It might make desalination cheaper, and help increase the world's water supply. However, you'd need to use truly huge quantities of salt for that to happen.
There seems to be a bit of selective omission that happens as well. I know someone who was astonished when he learned that there were white kids looting alongside the brown and black kids in London. Apparently all the footage he saw in the US omitted the white kids...
Yeah. Whenever I see footage of Palestinians being shot or houses being bulldozed, I think 'staged.' Even if it's grudgingly admitted to be true later on.
Lately all kinds of things have been staged - mosques burning, cemeteries vandalized, "price tag" messages - all staged, of course, as Israelis would never do any of these things...
Yeah, that was my fault in the Slashdot submission, which I always write up far too quickly. The article doesn't say Apple has Superspeed USB on its systems -- the Slashdot summary does. Doesn't anyone on Slashdot take time to actually read the article?
If you took the time to actually read Slashdot, you'd know the answer was no...
There is no disconnect here. In 2006 almost 17 million cars were sold in the US. In 2009 10.4 million cars were sold.
That's not right. The peak sale of cars in the US ever was 11 million or so, and that was in the 80s. Car sales have been steadily decreasing in the US, with car imports slowly increasing and eating into sales of cars manufactured by the big three.
This has everything to do with US car manufacturers thinking they can force their customers into buying expensive and very profitable gas guzzlers, and being very mistaken. Hence why US car manufacturers were the worst to suffer when sales of cars globally dropped, and sales of their most profitable cars pretty much disappeared altogether.

I am surprised 138 of the killed were classified as civilians.
Under 2s I suspect.

Slow news day.
And I don't understand why /. users can't see it.

Because in some countries you can give consent and then withdraw it...
Withdrawing consent is fine, unless it's afterwards. Which appears to be the case here.

Can you buy a PC without windows? Not easily.
Can you buy a radio without an Apple doc? Yes, in fact you have to go looking for one with an Apple doc.
It's a huge difference, but one you're willing to ignore because you have a hatred to display...
As long as you're not testing hardware, parent is right. I've got two boxes running VMWare, and between them there isn't a network/OS/app setup I'm interested in that I haven't been able to simulate...
And so too will you, my young friend, by that time...
a) Don't let my new user number fool you.
b) I'm in a maze of little, twisty passages, all the same...
When did you get your iPhone 4S?
You seem to be assuming sexual viabiliy will increasre proportionately. I doubt it will. So more people, but no larger families.
Yes, much larger families. You can sit on the porch with your great-grandparents, and you'll all be old.

As a result, Kinect is one of the rare products they have which is even vaguely inspiring.
I find Kinect frightening - an advertiser's nirvana, where they can watch you in your living room and determine what you are doing all the time.
No thanks, I'd rather they have to hire someone to sneak up to my window to do that, rather than have me pay them to do that.

Um, didn't Apple "copy" that last week? At least now we know why the release was delayed.
Easy enough to get around, just add "on a computer" to the end of it and you're all set
I'm one step ahead - I'm getting all the old ideas and adding "on a refrigerator" to the end of them all...
