I would think that anything that corrupts data or is indicative of a hardware fault would be a "really bad error", a simple crash would be a "bad error".
I don't really understand why talking about possible rumours that people have been talking about is wrong. They weren't creating rumours, just reporting them when they were relevant to the factual story. In my opinion it's obvious that you didn't click on the link you gave, since if you had you would have seen the first story was reporting of a rumour that had a large impact on Microsoft shares.
But no, the original topic is defamation, which, it is rumoured, you seem to be doing quite well. Your point was based on blatently false evidence, which seems to be (I don't really know) what the story above is about. I don't care about American television politics, but I don't like someone making a point like that without backing up with at least *some* credible evidence, which you still haven't given.
"Microsoft's $10 billion giveaway": "Rumor has it that Microsoft is considering giving away at least $10 billion of its massive $46 billion cash horde." - it is affecting the share price.
"Bank seizes 'world's most expensive' house": "Rumor has it the crown prince of Dubai snapped up the 90-acre property, which features a heated marble driveway." - not verified, but relevant to the story.
They were the only two news stories that were in the front page and satisfied my point (b). I'm Australian (obviously not American from my spelling) so I don't give a fuck about American television politics, but I don't believe that defamation is right, an opinion which is relevant to this story. The great grandparent post was giving false evidence to boost an unfounded point which is from my humble perspective defamation. He didn't even say "rumour has it" to boost that point.
I'm wondering, would it be any different in linux? It takes only slightly less effort to upgrade debian than it is to run Windows Update (debian has mostly no dialogues and no annoyances), however I doubt people would still pedantically update.
Firstly, he was just saying that Fox were the worst at the practice. Secondly, did you actually click on the link that you gave? I actually decided to and all the links in the first page were either (a) book, movie or TV show reviews or (b) points that they just didn't have the facts to back up. None of them were personal attacks or would have been defamation at all. Quite the opposite, it would have been bad reporting to *not* say 'rumour has it'.
it's not against the law but it's an easy way to lose an election. Even when Telstra gave a few Liberal members TVs they lost a huge amount of reputation through it. And it is against the law for a political party to accept money from a company yes.
you could say that the US 280 million at the moment isn't very impressive against the 48,598,175 (googled) of South Korea. A number is a number, nothing else.
Why bring AU government into this? It is a very different situation over here. Firstly we don't have software patents (yet?), secondly it is against the law for a politician to accept money from a company. The affect this has is obvious especially in the ethanol dispute, where the government is quite simply ignoring the giant oil companies.
Lindows beat Microsoft, got paid off ten million dollars (from memory) to change their name. And no the GPL doesn't cover the interlectual property at all, and there'd be no real motivation for an open source developer to sue a product that reimplemented their algorithms in their own form (besides the fact that there'd be no case that's not worth millions).
The first thing to do when comparing two source files is throw out all variable names and stylistic choices and convert them to a specific format and style. This means it doesn't matter if you change "speed" to "velocity" it's still trivial to catch automatically. It also doesn't matter if you go:
firstly, reimplementing the same ideas or even the same algorithm is fine, as long as you don't copy-paste the code.
secondly, it's pretty damned easy to detect (using computerised algorithms) that someone has changed variable names, stylistic differences etc. That is very very easily done.
because they want deals which increase exports to the US? Considering the US's track record here though I doubt that they're going to get anything but screwed.
sheesh why does everyone jump on someone for using command line commands? Very well, here's the GUI way:
Open Up Synaptic -> type in your password -> click "Search" -> type in "nvidia" -> click "nvidia-glx" -> in the submenu click "install" -> log out of your computer -> log back in.
The thing is, we are typing all of this - it's much easier to give a few command line commands to copy-paste in than it is to describe the GUI.
Slashdot Mirror
he seemed to be pointing out the hipocrasy of the hunters rather than criticising their own actions.

that would be "aren't even using developers who know English".

let me put that into context:
"Microsoft's $10 billion giveaway": "Rumor has it that Microsoft is considering giving away at least $10 billion of its massive $46 billion cash horde." - it is affecting the share price.
"Bank seizes 'world's most expensive' house": "Rumor has it the crown prince of Dubai snapped up the 90-acre property, which features a heated marble driveway." - not verified, but relevant to the story.

Perhaps skillful use of cron would help?
it doesn't work on linux because Firefox is updated with the rest of the system when you run apt-get upgrade (or your distro equivalent).
sorry my mistake I just thought of the whitelist and not the general "allow sites" etc.
disregard above comment!
You must be using a different version of Firefox to me.

is that any better than the normal "iddqd"?
not stuff like food and shelter, which is what would take up the majority of the money.
Oh my god! Could this be a situation where the word "ironic" is the right word to use?

it is only a hundred or couple of hundred USD a week but one thing to realise is the cost of living here is a *lot* lower.

as elaboration:
The first thing to do when comparing two source files is throw out all variable names and stylistic choices and convert them to a specific format and style. This means it doesn't matter if you change "speed" to "velocity" it's still trivial to catch automatically. It also doesn't matter if you go:
int main()
{
char * message = "hello world";
printf("%s", message);
}
or
int main() { char * message = "hello world"; printf("%s", message); }
it means exactly the same thing to the computer.
firstly, reimplementing the same ideas or even the same algorithm is fine, as long as you don't copy-paste the code.
secondly, it's pretty damned easy to detect (using computerised algorithms) that someone has changed variable names, stylistic differences etc. That is very very easily done.
How many FPS can you get on Doom 3? I've got to plan my future purchasing decisions.
an article saying "this new technology is here" isn't a dupe of an article saying "this new technology is scheduled to be coming out in a few months".
This is a notification that they finally released it. By your post I know it's 7 months later than scheduled.
mercury is, incidentely, where the Mad Hatter term comes from (people who made hats used it quite often and slowly went mad).
