point him to one of the Linux sources - he can build his binaries & install it.
Luxury! In my time I better have written a full blown OS before dinner (which consisted of cardboard), after which my dad would kill us and sing over our graves.
Maybe we should clone them. And then we have one, then two, then suddenly a whole country, then a whole continent, then the whole planet will be full of them, and it will become so heavy that planet earth will be thrown out of its orbit and right into the sun.
5 minutes to get to the initial boot screen in your underpowered machine running XP/Vista 15 minutes for Windows to "check policies", "apply corporate settings", etc (or whatever it is called - no, I'm not making this up) 20 minutes for the POS auto-update software you corp uses to apply the latest undred patches from MS. Doing 2/3 reboots in the process
People do that because the hydraulic system (is not as good as in the US/etc and) gets clogged if you do that.
For people who are used to it, it's no biggie. Yeah, I know, "excrement ridden", sounds gross, but it's only a matter of taking it, closing the bag and disposing it.
Actually, NASA scientist were (positively) surprised when they found out that solar panels can be cleaned by "dust devils" that happen with a certain frequency in Mars.
This has happened at least one time to the rovers.
So, it's just a matter of waiting, if Spirit runs out of power, no big deal, it will stop working, and then if it gets cleaned, it will come back again.

Lycanthrophy!!!
Yeah, Jobs and Lasseter bought Disney for negative money.

it's better than nothing
No!
You get "fast-priority" because Google put a server closer to you.
This is similar to what Akamai does.
So it's not unfair around the internet, only that google gets faster because it's closer
They need a good solid dose of ISO9001 or CMMI
Yes man, I hope you get your dose of CMMI medical treatment.
It will be a most morbidly hilarious thing.
Windows Mobile is everywhere.
No
So is Windows Embdedded
No
Most (embedded / server) places that have linux are not advertised as such.

something to make watching grass grow exciting...
Hey, it's slippery-slope man!
Maybe we should clone them. And then we have one, then two, then suddenly a whole country, then a whole continent, then the whole planet will be full of them, and it will become so heavy that planet earth will be thrown out of its orbit and right into the sun.
We better just leave it as is...
At least if it's an astronaut they can throw him a fire extinguisher...
(obscure?)
Reminds me of a library that had a sticker saying that "books must be returned in the same state of matter"
So I guess I only would have a problem if I tryed to return the book in liquid or gas form, as long as it's solid I'm good...
Chances are now they are going to ask potential employees being interviewed there how to do it using half the time and one tenth of the machines...
Well, buy any card that supports CUDA (pretty much all offers by nVidia today - except you probably want to stay off the cheapest stuff)
You can also try running a PS3 + Linux or try the similar offers from AMD/ATI
The toolchain is binary only and has an EULA that prohibits reverse engineering.
Show me a non-free EULA that doesn't.
Congratulations for the correct use of "its" and not writing "it's"
There should be an award for that.
No, no, it's one velociraptor per child, haven't you heard???
No it is like this:
5 minutes to get to the initial boot screen in your underpowered machine running XP/Vista
15 minutes for Windows to "check policies", "apply corporate settings", etc (or whatever it is called - no, I'm not making this up)
20 minutes for the POS auto-update software you corp uses to apply the latest undred patches from MS. Doing 2/3 reboots in the process
Rinse, repeat, etc
Again, I'm not making this up...
They could have shipped XP instead.
Ooh, MS won't sell them? Fine, sell them with Linux or FreeDos (that's what Lenovo does, or did, btw)
you have demonstrated a complete lack of commitment to HP as a strategic partner and cost us a lot of money in the process,'
Then you should have stuck for what you believe and refused to sell underpowered vista machines.
Guess what, if you go to bed with Mike Tyson you will get raped, there's no point complaining afterwards.
All other planets are inferior potassium.

No, you see, coq is french for rooster
So he actually spent lots of time playing with a rooster.
Oh wait...
once I get my 10k hours of slashdot...
Well, considering your dishwasher didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars...
