In short: big supermarkets reduce the price they pay for milk, causing farmers and milk processing plants to operate at a loss. Big supermarkets claim the price cuts are for the good of everybody because of the state of the economy and bla and bla.
The simpel fact that you need to lie about all the presumed horrors that mountain lion brings tells more about your motivation than about mountain lion.
(To bypass the signature check, control-click the app, select open, and you'll hear no more from mountain lion about signatures.. The 'warnings' and 'lies' you describe have yet to be seen by me.. )
The 'plastic' in your shopping bag is essentially the same material used to make bullet proof vests. (low density polyethylene versus Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene).
Then again, most 3D printers use ABS wire because it hardly degrades in multiple melting cycles.
The 7204VXR is not only safer and faster, but it functions as a space heater as well!
Barely. At 375W it's not enough to heat my spare bedroom, which is tiny (7x10'). I'd suggest you try a couple of 12K's loaded with STM-64 linecards so you can regulate heat output by enabling or disabling cards. Keep in mind that for maximum power output you need a loopback fiber to keep the lasers on at maximum power.
It's a race-condition, either crashing your ancient kernel or causing software using certain kernel-calls to effectively lock up. In both cases load seems to be a factor.
Over here the race-condition coincided with the actual leap-second and the start of the first batch of cronjobs at 02:00 local time.
(I'm all for switching unix time to a simple counter and leaving it to the calendar libs to put the leap seconds where necessary)
Bad idea. It would have prevented kernels affected by the race-condition from crashing, but would have meant most of your running software would have been either hit by this bug or would have been on the mercy of a 17 year old pimple-faced coder.
I think I prefer a crash over the mayhem caused by banking-software not handling a leap-second correctly. That could bankrupt whole countries.
Now that Linux hit the same type of hurdle, we're all of a sudden being very nuanced about the definition of code quality? Typical.
Wow. You're still pissed over Azure failing, your Xbox disabling itself, your Zune crashing for a full day and your Outlook manhandling your appointments (on more than one occasion)?
As it turns out my biggest problems was customer-supplied software which uses their own java jre's. We install a jre by default and update it whenever possible, but some software (Adeptia, VLTrader, Alfresco) comes with their own ancient jre and scripts to call that over system-supplied java.
Not a single machine crashed (we are very explicitly in charge of what OS-version there's running) but a lot of java locked up and had to be restarted.
I can even see a small bump in the power-usage around two o' clock (0:00 GMT).
Oddly enough I don't even need a calculator to help you with that.
Two-thirds of a mile deep, two miles long, walls 10 feet apart.
Metric isn't strange and esoteric, it's all closely related. 1 Ampere is the current needed to generate 1 Newton of force between two 1 meter long sections of wire, 1 meter apart in a perfect vacuum.
Now try that with pounds-force, feet and Amperes. (0.2248 lbf, 3' 3.37" , 1A) (Yes, I needed a calculator for that..)
Besides the crocodiles and birds (which share a common ancestor with Archaeopteryx) there's the always popular Coelacanth ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coelacanth ) which hasn't changed much in the last 400,000,000 years.
Many more examples exist, in the form of plants (ferns, Pteridophyta), insects (Rhyniognatha) Amphibians (Ichthyostega) and so on.
You don't need to back that far. We have general vaccinations over here. Before that one or two out of every ten kids would die of diphtheria. One in a hundred would end up severely paralysed by poliomyelitis. We haven't seen a single case of diphtheria in thirty years, and poliomyelitis-epidemics are restricted to the bible-belters.
That's just sixty years ago. My mother (born in the thirties) lost a brother to diphtheria, so that era is still in living memory.
I have to say: it was a good article, a good argument, relevant to my geek interests and a worthwhile way to spend some time on the daily commute. Compliments to the submitter.
No amount of experience will make texting while driving safe.
And equally: even experienced drinkers (alcoholics) still cause accidents.
This is not an age-thing. However: texting while driving is an additional risk, another way to have more funerals between 16 and 25, and every attempt to stop that is a good one.
The TU in Delft, the Netherlands has a nice toy for students as well. At 2 MW(th) and with an imminent upgrade to 3 MW(th) it's not a small one either.

Intel HD 3000 or NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics is Apple hardware? That would be real news...

Could you be so kind to post the other reasons?
I have been using UNIX/linux/BSD and odd stuff like BeOS, System 7/8/9, OS X, Solaris/CDE, IRIX etc for 15 years.
Never found a solid reason to use windows, and now you tell me there's more than one reason _not_ to run windows?
That is one alternative reality I must grab..
Eventually people will realise that employers Google these things.
I think I was hired because my current employer googled my real name. Being what you are can be as much as an asset as it can be a liability.

Right. You ylliterate basdart!

Hogwash, Astronomers can find coping mechanisms, it's either that or these ridiculous levels of stress for systems admins.
TAI doesn't know about leapseconds, and it's the coping mechanism of choice for astronomy.
You would have been fine if you stopped ntpd before restarting the offending processes.

No, the lock disabled the keyboard by switching off power to the keyboard.
Russia and some Arab countries basically want to wire-tap EVERYONE, "legally".
Two words: Patriot Act.
I won't say 'hypocrite' aloud, but I don't mind you knowing what's on my mind...

Safari's reader seems to make good work of that. One long page, all the photo's and no adds.
Whenever somebody mentions GRC I get a craving for cookies. Syncookies, to be precise..

I really need a +1 Troll right now!
Wow. I am the one percent. Cool :)
