Show me an enterprise deployment of hundreds of Xen hypervisors deployed servicing guests with a minimum of four nines of availability guarantee with a contractual financial penalty for availability violations...
Can't promise four nines. Will you take nine fours? Then you can trade fours with someone later.
Good! they can start by zapping all that annoying hard plastic bubble packaging that every bleeding thing seems to come in now and is harder then hell to open without damaging the contents!
But, but... Then I'll have to zap my As Seen on TV products!
Gaim/Pidgin for me. Why would I want switch networks, let alone a web-based one that requires my browser to be open (speaking to Gmail based Gtalk...there's a standalone GTalk client, too, right?)
Yes, there is a standalone client for Gtalk, but more importantly, your preferred IM application already supports Gtalk. The IM portion of Gtalk is XMPP. If you already have a Gtalk account, just add a new XMPP account in Pidgin. Then in the, "Advanced" tab, set the, "Connect Server", to, "talk.google.com". The default port is fine. If you don't have a Gtalk account, you can set one up via the web without using the client. That's it, enjoy!
On June 29, 2002, George W. Bush invoked Section 3 of the 25th amendment. Cheney was Acting President from 7:09 AM to 9:24 AM while Bush had a colonoscopy.
Ok, so he was Acting President, but that has to count towards generating a little fear, right?
Do you know the Gumstix http://www.gumstix.com/ they are embedded linux platform which run on that pxa270. With 64mb of ram and I can't remember the flash size, it's smaller than a juicy fruit stix...
But does the taste move you when you pop it in your mouth? It's just not the same unless the taste - the taste - the taste - the taste is gonna move ya.
You know know now that you mention it, that should probably be an option for a homepage regardless of what format it's in. Bonus points if you could theme it.
There was an extension that kind of did that. I think it's dead now. I haven't tried it recently, so I don't know what the state of it is.
I imagine that on that day (which I doubt will ever come), I will use Google to "view cached"... to retrieve all my bookmarks and then look for a new universal bookmark repository.
Yeah, that's a very nice theory. Nope, proven fact. Macros will cause genital wilting.
Here's my suggested rule: "Macros are evil. Don't use macros, unless you're in an existing project that uses them already, or you're writing in C, or you're doing something that can't be done any other way." It says pretty much that in the FAQ, actually.
Alright, here's the story behind this outburst: I work on a protocol stack at work that was designed for an embedded system. A large portion on the code is written in C. A large portion of this is macros. The author thought it would be cute to spend most of his time exploring the use of ##. He also didn't think it was necessary to surround multi-line macros with any sort of block. I spend a lot of my time fixing bugs in macros because of this. Furthermore this stack also links with a C++ API, but the author knew very little about how to program in C++ (e.g. some classes inherit from what should be their children). This C++ API has constants defined using #define instead of actual constants, macros instead of inlines, etc. I could write an entire year's worth for WorseThanFailure with just this code. DO NOT WANT!
It's interesting you bring this up, because in the case of the macro, I think it's a flaw in C and C++ that macros have to be so distinguished from other constructs.
Don't use macros. Macros are evil. A roving band of them kidnapped my parents when I was young.
But that's another debate.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled topic.
my understanding is that the big bang didn't start from a single chunk of mass at some defined point, rather that it occurred everywhere at the same time. In a way, yes. It started as a singularity. There was no mass or, "everywhere".
If you were somehow instantly able to travel to the edge 13.7 billion light years away, what would you see? I would guess that there is no edge, Correct, there is no edge. If you traveled in a straight line in any direction, eventually you would reach your starting point.
Sebastien Pouliot suggested we call it "Moonlight" (anagram on Mono). And I was thinking Silver-light in another language, bonus points if the script is good looking. For instance, in Arabic it would be fad-da daw'
Those of us who are great fans of Mono will be happy with whatever you decide to call it. We're just happy that the Mono team has decided to implement Silverlight.
Extrapolating from the current timeline for Mono 2.0 and Microsoft's insatiable upgrade churn, I, for one, look forward to using a fully implemented Moonshine (Fatwa, whatever) sometime in Q2 of the year Silverlight becomes totally irrelevant.
every couple of months or so they send me through a massive bundle of magazines and such which I...don't do anything with, and have to throw away.
What really burns me is when credit card companies and banks try to get customers to sign up for online statements with the ruse that, "it's better for the environment", but won't stop sending their incessant load of junk mail for other services they offer. You can't even ask them to stop sending it! No, Bank of America, I am not interested in receiving a free toaster just for signing up for a CD with a middling interest rate!
OT: Regarding your sig. That is my favorite song by PT (Warszawa version FTW), although, I seem to be listening to the 40 minute unedited Moonloop more often recently.
I saw a "Model M"-style (collapsing spring) keyboard that also had a trackpoint on it while browsing eBay one time. Guy was asking too much, but now I wish I had it for my docking station.
I've always wanted to play alternate history games where you assume the role of victims of American tyranny, such as a slave or a native American, and then turn the tables on your oppressors.
There is no need to use an alternate history to find good examples of this that could be used for a game.
Wait a minute - NO EULA? HOLY FSCK! You just removed the GPL license restrictions and placed your software under the public domain! You read it here first, folks. LOCKJAW is now PUBLIC DOMAIN SOFTWARE. SWEET!!!!
What?!? Oh. You mean without literally click on, "I agree". I see.
How would you formulate the license of your code in such a way that (a) contains the BSD-license and (b) it only applies to the BSD part of the code and not to the code you wrote yourself, which EULA style. To make it interesting: you're distributing it as a single binary.
There are different styles, so consult your lawyer. One good example is Apple iTunes which has a file called, "Acknowledgements.rtf", in its main directory which contains the following:
Portions of this Apple Software may utilize the following copyrighted material, the use of which is hereby acknowledged.
This is then followed by the text of the OpenSSL license, which is a BSD-type license. The OpenSSL license contains the following text:
This product includes cryptographic software written by Eric Young (eay@cryptsoft.com). This product includes software written by Tim Hudson (tjh@cryptsoft.com).
So the attribution file contains a license that contains an attribution. Apparently this is enough for both Apple and OpenSSL to legally license their software under their own licenses while including the work of others. Maybe this is enough for your company too, consult your friendly neighborhood IP lawyer for details...

What is truly amazing is that they implemented Silverlight before SAMS published a book for it.

Are you claiming that Real evolved from a single command-line tool like sox? Preposterous!

That's going to be an easy search.
But then they couldn't have named it Hurd!

Imperial units were established in 1824, while, "American", units date from the 1700s.
If you had said, "English", units, you'd be right. It doesn't really matter since it was all stolen from the Romans anyway.
I took a good look at your site. I don't claim to understand the artistic views of a photographer, but I do have to say that this is one fine pussy!
Your revision 8 Intel Ethernet Pro 100 card is showing.
There is no need to use an alternate history to find good examples of this that could be used for a game.
You don't really want all the members to be objectivists do you?
No need. There is already a standard: Platform for Internet Content Selection (PICS)...
