Supposedly the NTFS killing bug was specific to upgrading to FC2. I don't remember the details, but a clean install is preferable anyway with the LVM and SELinux changes.
Sorry, please ignore the ignorant American who assumed that this book was printed in the US when it was in fact published in London. Maybe I should move to London. Copyright law sounds much saner in the UK than in the US.
Effective January 1, 1978, the United States Copyright law was changed substantially. Previously, a work's period of protection began either when it was published with a proper copyright notice or registered if the work was registered in unpublished form. The period of protection lasted for an initial term of 28 years and could be extended for a second period of 28 years if the copyright was appropriately renewed during the initial 28th year.
When the 1976 law came into effect, the statute extended the renewal term from 28 to 47 years for copyrights that were subsisting on January 1, 1978, making these works eligible for a total term of protection of 75 years and now under the new law, that term is extended for a total term of 95 years. But the copyright owner had to file an appropriate renewal application in order to obtain this extended protection. As a result, a person inquiring as to the status of the copyright of works falling into that time frame has to search the records for that renewal certificate.
In 1992, when the law was amended again, it automatically extend the term of copyrights that had previously been published with a copyright notice from January 1, 1964 through December 31, 1977 to the further term of 47 years and eliminated the requirement to file a renewal application, even though filing such a renewal provides certain benefits. And now, all works published with a copyright notice after January 1, 1964 but before December 31, 1977 have an additional term of 20 years from the previous 47 and a total term of protection of 95 years.
as one of the Unix developers said debuging is 10x harder than writing code, so you you write code as cleverly as you can, you are, by definition, not qualified to debug that code
I've heard that saying attributed to Kernighan usually.
How hard would it be to pick a color that no warning light in cockpit uses and swap it out on maps?
It doesn't have to be red. That's just the one we used on ground maps.
It would not be hard to give them laser-safe glasses. The military always uses maps with no red on them. How hard would it be to pick a color that no warning light in cockpit uses and swap it out on maps?
As a last ditch, slow the thief down method, leave your room really messy. The thief will never be able to find the good stuff.
Seriously, take the laptop with you whenever you leave the room. Make sure it and all valuables are engraved with your name. Keep a list of serial numbers of all valuables. These last two things make it immeasurably easier for the police to prove that it is your stuff sitting in the room down the hall.
Valve is purported to be producing something that people will want. Just like SCO they are now just trying to milk there old products, that were made great by others, for everything they can.
...is that this cyber-cafe has legal copies of CS and HL. However, Valve's license doesn't allow you to make money from your use of HL or the HL engine (imagine if MS did this with Windows or Office). Since the cyber-cafe charged people to play the games, they are in violation of Valve's license. Valve has every right to do this. However, the cyber-cafe has probably already given Valve thousands of dollars by purchasing HL for each of the computers. Is this any way to treat one of your better customers? I only bought one copy of HL. This cyber-cafe bought dozens. Consequently, I will no longer be supporting Valve by playing their games. The same is true for any company that expects me to pay $50+ to use (not own) a copy of software they wrote, and they won't even let me run it on my favorite OS.
I haven't seen any official word yet, but FC2 test 3 came out in both i386 and x86_64 at the same time. So hopefully Tuesday, the release date, we will have a torrent for Athlon64 as well. Apparently the warez peeps only use 32 bit.
Bread cost 50 cents 20 years ago. Why should it still be 50 cents today? You'll pay nearly twice as much for a new car as you did then and you won't complain. Besides you complain about $4 for a weeks worth of breakfast and probably throw away $4 a meal eating out for one meal.
Maybe so but how many of those jobs could Intel afford to bring back here (and maintain there profite margins) by cutting just a small portion of his multimillion dollar CEO salary. Maybe the board of directors should outsource him and bring all the other outsourced jobs back to the USA.
But there is nothing to insure that it stays that way. What if Sun were to go bankrupt? Then at very least Java would be encumbered until the bankruptcy was settled. What if Sun was bought out by SCO and SCO decided to charge everyone $699 to use Java? I admit neither of these scenarios are that likely but that is what ESR and IBM are trying to insure can not happen.
Shouldn't the subject read "FTC Complaint Against Rambus Dismmissed" instead of "FTC Dismisses Complaint Against Rambus". The title as it currently reads almost made me think the FTC wasn't all that bad. Then I read the body. Oh well, back to hating the FTC.
Do you know why nothing works after you "let the smoke out"?
It's magic smoke. It's what makes electronics work. You have to keep that magic smoke inside or it won't work anymore.
If you don't believe me just try it for yourself. Take a perfectly working piece of electronics that's supposed to use 110 and hook it up to 220. Almost assuredly this will let the magic smoke escape. That electronic device will never work again.
I think the magic smoke is how the electrons get around. Honest, I'm not on the magic smoke.

Yes, by default you have fedora, fedora-devel, fedora-updates, and fedora-updates-testing.

In test3 you had to also install a package called fedora-release. I'm not sure why it wasn't in the dependencies.

This is the United States and we do have to protect Mickey.

You should be a politician.
I don't think anyone in Florida wants the states to be put in charge of Social Security. It would work out well for the rest of us though.

Maybe they already have. I haven't been over to Finland to check. Have you?

I especially love ones that poke at our problems but offer no better alternative.

5 meg? That's all the bandwidth we have at my university (4 T1s). Pretty pitiful. You bet we block/shape p2p traffic.

Please leave SCO (Darl McBride's Tech Company) out of this.
Good job. It is nice to see someone finally call SCO on the whole the GPL is invalid but we think we can still use software released under it issue.
ummm, that's what I said.
