If the GNU kernel had been ready last spring, I'd not have bothered to even start my project: the fact is that it wasn't and still isn't. Linux wins heavily on points of being available now.
The funniest part of that quotation is that it's from 1992.
That was the most obnoxious thing I could think of without being over the top.:-) I actually don't mind flash on sites, as long as it's navigable without it.
You're either a musician or you're not. Play the music; everything else will take care of itself.
I realize that doesn't answer your questions, so, in order: Flash, no (prefer FLAC), $0, kinda/yes, weekly, yes, doesn't matter, publicity (and you just blew it with a front-page/. article and no link, or does this "band" not yet exist?), and just play, respectively.
I remember Wired (?) doing a thing on a wooden computer a few years ago. Basically, everything that could be wood, was, including the keyboard. It looked amazing. 20 thousand bucks, IIRC.
Because you don't have any money. And if you don't have any money, you don't have any control. Your only other recourse is to vote, but with the Iraqi election turnout higher than the American, that's a longshot at best.
That's pretty silly. MS may not admit to it, but that's exactly what they do. What did Win2K ship with, 20,000 known bugs or something? How about XP? Probably the same. Do you install the first version company-wide, or do you wait until the first couple of "service" packs are out?
Not that I'm saying that's a bad method for finding bugs, but at least OSS admits to it, and people are generally ready for breakage.
Searching for Firefox, Google wins 17mil to 1.2mil, but the news portion gives much more recent news than google.
I've never quite understood the importance of that. How is that a "win?" Did you get to the 1.2 millionth result and say "goddamn, I need more pages!" ?
They don't publicize their investigations anyway, so just because we don't hear anything doesn't mean they're not following it. It's possible, of course, but we won't know until much later.
Out of all the places I've travelled, including Europe, Africa, South/Central America (w/Cuba), I've never had as much trouble as Canada. I was born and raised in Canada, and have a valid passport. Doesn't seem to matter. I have dual citizenship with the US, and when I go to the States, it's always "Welcome home!" Canada, it's more like "Where are you going? Where do you live? What do you do? How long have you been doing that?" I get red-lined every fucking time.
When it is going to hit (if it does) is known down to minutes NOW. That and knowing which way it is coming from allows us to exclude half the planet from worries other than climatic. As someone has already pointed out, that means both NY city and Texas are safe from this rock.
My granny wrote me a letter some years ago which I saved. No idea how much is true, but it sounds good.:-)
"It has none of the coma-inducing sweetness of mulled cider, let alone the melted ice cream overkill of eggnog. Instead, it combines the robustness of a serious wine with the headiness of a strong martini. It also goes surprisingly well with food, which is no small consideration on a Champagne recovery day."
Glogg varies. Traditionally the spiced wine is set afire and poured over sugar so that the granules melt into the punch, adding just enough sweetness to smooth the bitter edge.
TRADITIONAL GLOGG Time: 40 minutes
1/4 cup raisins* 1 cup blanched whole almonds* 6 cardamom pods* Pinch ground nutmeg* 6 cloves* 2 sticks cinnamon* 1 teaspoon dried ground orange peel* (available where spices are sold) 1/3-inch piece fresh ginger* 1 bottle dry red wine 1 1/2 cups aquavit 5 ounces cube sugar
1. In a large stainless steel or other nonreactive saucepan, combine the *. Add the red wine, and allow to steep for 30 minutes. Add the aquavit and place over low heat until steaming, but do not boil.
2. Place the sugar cubes on a flameproof perforated ladle. Carefully light the glogg with a long match; low blue flames will dance on the surface (be careful of face, hair, and hands). Hold the ladle with the sugar over the pan, and use a second ladle to scoop up the burning glogg and pour it over the sugar. Continue until the sugar melts into the pan. Put out the fire by covering the pan with a lid. (If you do not wish to light the glogg, the sugar can be added to the pan with the spices, and stirred until dissolved.)
3. Serve glogg very warm in small cups with a few almonds and raisins in each.
Yield: 5 1/2 cups (10-12 servings).
HIGH-OCTANE GLOGG Time: 10 minutes
1 quart aquavit 2 bottles inexpensive dry red wine 1 bottle ruby port 5 tablespoons sugar 4 cardamom pods 12 whole cloves 12 allspicberries 1 cinnamon stick 1 cup blanched, slivered almonds 1 cup golden raisins
Combine all ingredients but almonds and raisins in large enameled or stainless steel pot. Bring slowly to a simmer, stirring to dissolve sugar, and heat just until liquid starts to steam, about 10 minutes. To serve, place a couple of almonds and raisins each in small cups and ladle glogg over.
Yield: 1 gallon.
The first recipe was adapted from Jan Wickstrom, executive chef to the Swedish consul general. Remember that Wikings, as the word is pronounced in Norway (or Norge, as they spell it on their postal stamps), had a lot of practice drinking until the government put a clamp on all things alcoholic.
The word "berserk" is a Norwegian adjective, "berserker" is a Viking term, and Vikings were Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish. They went berserk in the summertime, too, when they tried to drink to get to sleep during the midsummer when there wasn't much nighttime. More Icelanders are alcoholics than any other nationality. Too far north. You don't hear about Laplanders being alcoholics, but that may be because they have only reindeer, and they keep moving about, and stills are too cumbersome to pack onto reindeer as the North People travel hither, thither, and yon.
Caution: Fire is dangerous in the hands of folks who have had a few slugs of glogg. Have a fire extinguisher ready or invite a fireman to the party. He'll know what to do in case of rash behavior.
Remember to say "Skol!" before your first sip. The glass is raised high as the wish is cried out. There's a long o in "Skol." It rhymes with "shoal." Glasses are not thrown against the fireplace. That's English.
I wouldn't say never, but it's been about 6 or 7 months as far as I can tell. That inspired me to whitelist my address book, and I haven't seen any since. Just don't mention Vicodin penis Rolexes when you talk to me.:-)

Heh. Nice touch that, replying to a NYTimes-link article with a registration site.

Perhaps I will see the trailer once it hits the Internet
It's been out for months. Where do you live, under a lava field?
They're working on it. Check lkml - every few months there's a 900-page thread about how it's crucial to get a working version before MS.

Read at +5. That way you'll see both of them.

The Government said it would charter a jet to fly Mr Habib back from Cuba. He will be free to go home.
You miss that part?

They carry the load.
Yeah, except it'll be these ones.
Or did you mean "blondes?"
Just out of curiosity, how many times has someone busted into your house? And did you shoot them?

Sweet. I'm safe. Next article!

I don't think that's great. I get about 6-800 spams a day, and probably 3 or 4 of those make it to my inbox. Spamassassin.
Don't let that stop you from posting. You make Slashdot proud. :-)
That's interesting. Same results with Opera 7.54, Linux.
Minor nitpick, and I'm undoing mods to post this, but neither of these parties are privately owned.
