Joule Electronics Workshop -- we read about this in social studies. A lot of interesting ideas coming out of there, but ever since Exxon purchased them, they haven't been delivering on the alternative energy stuff anymore.
Should this even be legal??? It's like when GM bought and decommissioned all the trolley cars to further their monopoly!

Ha ha, jjeffries you old wit -- you've done it again!
So I thought the space elevator was like -- some theme park or something. I show up and I don't see a single damned roller coaster, no cotton candy, nothing but a vending machine with Nutri Grain bars. Fuck!
Well, a few of those and let me tell you, I had to take a dump something awful. This guy asks if I'm ready to launch a satellite and I'm "Boy, am I ever!" though I'd never heard that euphemism before.
So I get to the top and there ain't no can or anything, but by then I really had to go, so I just let it fly, and now the fucking thing's in orbit somewhere over Miami. Or -- it was.
See, I got this fucking huge bill from NASA and it's going to bankrupt me, but that ain't all. See, these guys from the Hubble observatory call and they're all "You set a collision orbit and got schmeck on the lens!" which meant another expensive bill still, but then they had to twist the knife -- "By the way, after looking at this closely (what else could we look at now?) we think you've got worms."
Damn!!!
So I'm off to the doc, and he's all pulling on his rubber glove and there goes another space probe and all of my pride with it while I'm squirming on the table.
Only high point of my whole space elevator affair was that the ass doc sent me flowers the next day. "From irc.efnet.net #gnaa -- hello.jpg to you!"
You sure write a lot for somebody who reads so little. Go back and read the parent post all the way through, Einstein. If you ever had a library card, I sure as hell can't imagine what you used it for.
Won't this only work until someone recompiles any and all apps that have the ads in them?
Mandrake generally caters toward Linux newbies. I'm not saying Mandrake isn't a powerful distribution, but it's the most accessible and has achieved Red Hat's level of distribution. Along those lines, the majority of Mandrake users wouldn't be able to figure out how to replace the packages. Heck, you could post an efnet #gnaa logo on the login screen's backdrop, come back six months later, and find it still in place for most of the users.
Blocking web advertisements is theft, pure and simple. You aren't viewing the material on the terms under which it was offered to you.
This is yet another illustration of the problems resulting from renegade programmers abusing innocent users' PCs. There is no accountability behind open source software.
Am I the only one who had to copy and paste the text from the second linked page into a word processor to view the story?
In Mozilla, I got a Sprint ad in a huge box which overlaid the story text, making it impossible to read. I tried hovering over and such to see if it had a 'click to hide' option, but nothing. I'm not clicking the ad itself.
Is this some new advertising tactic to force people to visit ad sites to view the article, or is this just a page design problem?
Who's buying? It's already ours, and we're having words, believe you me. We're taking our IP, as well as all leftover office supplies and toiletries from the husk of a once-great IP thief.
We'll now show the most damning evidence yet. There we have it, we've presented the basis for not hundreds, not thousands, not tens of thousands, but hundreds of thousands of derivative code in the Linux kernel.
Let's see you dig yourself out of this one, wunderkind.
Perhaps the most under-reported story of all is that of our
plight. Hi, I'm Darl McBride. You may know me from lawsuits such as
"RMS Stunk Up My Second Home," or "Semicolon? Hey, we invented
that!"
Tiny little SCO is struggling to survive, yet is being
assailed non-stop by Open Sores bullies, such as Mr.
Lunix Torewads (please read his cruel letter in the last third of this article) and gun-toting madman, Eric
"Stinky" Raymond.
Won't you help a tiny company survive?
For just $699, the price of a single
cup of coffee every day for the rest of your life and those of your children, you can help us litigate against
these selfish bastards, and once again -- Justice will be done.
Doubtless you haven't yet heard of our tiny case. Please consider visiting Slashdot,
clicking on "Older Stories," and clicking on every single damned link.
Peace out. Scotty, one to beam up. Set course for EFNet #gnaa.
BSDI were the folks who sat down with the FreeBSD developers and basically said, "Here -- these are all of our SMP secrets." From the FreeBSD SMP mailing list, this was instrumental in FreeBSD 5.0 becoming the SMP uberbeast it is, well beyond what just unraveling the macro kernel lock was accomplishing.
At one point, I seem to recall that Wind River were acquiring Walnut Creek or otherwise taking on the publication of FreeBSD. Whatever happened to that? It seems like they poured blessings all over FreeBSD, then didn't reap the benefits of resultant FreeBSD's growth.
I'm not looking for a hand count -- I'm wondering where BSD/OS saw the biggest deployments.
Was BSD/OS popular before the free BSDs? I see on their site that they have some information about embedding BSD/OS -- is there a piece of hardware we might all know about, or is it more for internal hardware projects?
One of the major modes of failure in modern hard drives is in unevenness in platters causing irregularities in thermal distribution. The platter warps and eventually crash against the read/write head. (This isn't a significant bend, even a single micrometer of travel is sufficient for catastrophic failure with a high-density storage device.)
If these could actually be embedded radially about the platters, this kind of thermal differential failure could be detected. While this wouldn't solve the warping problem, it would at least cue the drive that it should run at a slower RPM and fire off non-stop SMART warnings to the system administrator, warning of catastrophe months or even a year ahead, instead of the current very short mechanical warning predictions which SMART-enabled devices offer.
McBride here. I just want to reassert that (1) I was not in the country at the time I was on camera and pumping SCOX stock, (2) SCO does not own any computers and so cannot have issued these false press releases, (3) it's all a misunderstanding, [image of a PowerPoint slide reading 'copied code' with a giant semicolon on the left and the right] we thought these line-endings were a SYSV kernel coding practice not something a little more fundamental, Vlad Farted (14), and (5) I am not, and never have been associated with the username gnaa@irc.efnet.net or darl.mcbride@sco.com.

...about the space elevator is when the kid who launched his satellite just before you mashes every button before getting off.

You obviously didn't read the lines underneath and above the semicolons.

Please stop trolling, or post logged-in so the moderators can tell you whether you're being helpful or not.
Nobody thinks this is the real Darl. The moderators are not fooled. Only in your strange little world is this even a possibility.
