> A streetwise rapper just doesn't fit.
Jesus Christ dude. They are ACTORS, they PRETEND to be people they are not. He probably wont be a streetwise rapper in this film. Being black does not define you as streetwise. Did you see Shaun of the Dead? Well, all those dudes weren't really zombies. They were only pretending. Russell Crowe is not really a shit-hot mathematician.
Fair enough...I'll buy that.
I'm not really a proper MTBer, (although my MTB cost about a grand:) aahh, boys and their bikes...) but em, yeah, I have seen some pretty shit hot downhillers in Europe using good hard tails, then I come to the US, and see every fat bloke on the streets round NY/NJ with a crap full sus. bike, squishing all over the shop, costing money that probably could have bought a half decent hard tail. With knobbly tyres. With no air in them. And enough food to get them through the apocalypse. But, you are right, time improves these things beyond recognition. BTW have you noticed that light (less than 125cc) Moto-Cross bikes, are turning into MTBs with engines? Or is it the other way around? Sooner or later the parts will be interchangeable !!
Damn you Dr Evil. How come you get modded karma and I do all the pedantic hord thinkin with the technikil experteze and all. And and.. and, you even said tigs, when you clearly meant bosses. Like, they might have been TIG welded on, but... mother of god, they are called bosses. Oh god. I just get so angry. I mean...nnnnngg WHY GOD, but WHHYYYYY? I WANT MORE KARMA TOO GOD. I need to find someone to hit now.
I dont think you meant side-pull brakes, these are the guys that road bike used to use, one arm pivoting with another balanced with springs. I think you mean either Cantilever Brakes, or V Brakes. These guys are kind of close ish in method, the Vs being a sort of refactored inside out Canti. Two sort of "bar" things, pivoting on the forks. The Vs are generally lots better. Rear suspension, meh, forget it, get a nice light stiff frame, unless you are a downhiller. Even those boys and girls take a good hard tail over a mediocre full. Honestly, thats the only time you need/want full.
Re Disk Brakes:
By and large,Yup. The sad thing is, when peope want disks sooo bad, they get cable pull disks. And then realise they are actually worse than Vs in flat out braking.(Way less leverage near hub combined with the cables stretchyness)
However, my bike came with Hydraulic disks, (last years bike, marked to same price as this years...sold) and they are pretty OK. The differance comes when you are braking from high speeds, hard, and you really really do not want to lock. With Hyd. disks, there is a large amount of modulation between braking hard, and locked. Somtimes Vs are tricky to get to that place. And I have seen a lot of people hurt that way. Also, disks are very nice in rain/mud.
I have seen guys on $99.00 HUFFY bikes outpace the "serious" guys riding with $7000-9000 worth of bike.
OK, I can let that slide. The technology helps you ONLY if you are in peak performance.
No. Absolutely not. It helps everyone. You will only really notice it if you have experiance, but you do not need to be fit. most weekend riders that have the money to blow on "flashy" crud like that are far from being in perfect shape and therefore get put in their place by the poor local olympic hopeful riding a piece of absolute junk.
Exactly. And its beautiful. I have killed those pretty boys on a MTB (with slicks). And, it feels good. A friend told me about an occaision when our club was out on a spin, and was pulling up some hill, the boys were swinging, and heaving with our nice bikes. And, this farmer, MOTORS past us all, Tweed coat, potatoes on the back carrier, and dissapears off down the road.. Looking for the cameras. And, put us back into our respective boxes.
I doubt Tyler will take it this year. Heras might kill them on the Mtn TT, and Ulrich might kill them on the "final" TT day, ie not the roll into Paris. These are the two crux days. It will probably revolve around these two days. Some are worried about the central Massiff, Lance et alia didnt prep there, Tyler did. But, Lances team can control this I feel.
I would say essentially three guys will be in the running going into the final TT. And, I dont think Tyler is there, it will be Lance, Heras and Ullrich. Not to say Tyler hasnt got balls. He has plenty, but, its that last TT that will not be good for him, compared to say Ullrich, or Lance.:)
So the machine they had ran a Athlon 64 3500+ Socket 939 chip. And, generally kind of didnt do great with Fedora. (Well, in the DB tests, Suse rocked it, which is all I'm really interested in).
So, my question to those who know is:
Does that sort of mean that Fedora would probably recieve a beating (running on a dual Opteron box), relative to Suse? (running same) Or do I have to run my own benchmarks:(
Does anyone else have some inter-linux benchmarks floating around?
Classic. Nothing like a Slashdot full-on bitch slapping to set a little smile playing about the lips. Ahh yes, things running smoothly, survival of those who know. Happy days indeed. Thanks Graham...
OK, fair enough. Yahoo etc are not the greatest. BUT I set up my yahoo account 10 years ago, and yes I had a college account, then I left college, had a differant work account, back to college, diff account, Job, diff account, and am now working as a postdoc with a differant account. My point is I still have the same yahoo account I had when I was 17. I used it in South America, in Germany, in the Port Authority in NYC, Stansted Airport and so on. So, if someone that i met 7 years ago wants to drop me a mail, and doesnt have my work/uni address, they use yahoo. (And I tell them to use my work address from then on.) But the contact is made. And, therefore they cannot be described as "second-rate e-mail services", because when you are in the back ends of the Andes they are the only thing available, and are pretty first rate in those instances. They are a differant type of account, and are useful. And I take offence at hotmail or anyone censoring my mails.
Mozilla is more than just a Web browser. It has a mailer, chatzilla, some class of editor and a browser... firefox is essentially nothing more than the browser refactored and cleaned up. If you only use Mozilla as a browser, you would be as well moving to Firefox. If you want all the stuff that comes bundled with Mozilla, go about your business same as ever:) Hope that's useful.
Imagine you have just cracked your way into a UNIX login.
Ehhh... if you cracked Mitnicks UNIX box, by accident, it would be more than Uncle Kev that would like to have a word with you I'd say.
AFAIK there was not going to be a paper trail. I think this is essentially why this failed.
Honestly, with a paper trail I would not have too many problems with e voting. BUT, I want to give the code to some hard ass independent formal methods/Z/VDM/all-that-scary-stuff boys and girls before I am happy using it. There are plenty of good guys around in Irish Universities.
This is complete troll, however, if you actaully think that, you should look into what Marx actually did say.
Im not going to go into it now, however, his ideas have almost never used. There has arguabley never been a genuine Marxist/Communist government. Possibley in Chile, for a short while, under Salvador Allende, untill the US killed him (and put Pinchet in charge to rape the country, and kill whomever he pleased).
Sure, many people argue that communism wasn't "true" communism as Marx defined it. Amigo, it had nothing to do with it. Trust me. Zero.
How do you know you have no malware etc? Just because you have never found it? Granted you probably dont with the above s/w running, but, just because SpyBot/Adaware cant see it, does that mean its not there? (Genuinley curious here, are these apps perfect?, I dont think so, since Adaware picks up stuff Spybot doesnt and vice verca).
http://slashdot.org/articles/03/11/06/058249.shtml ?tid=106&tid=185
So you think its a bad idea to look through the code then? It might be dull, but what I am saying is if they are doing it, they might see something, which would be nice.If they dont, then this is nice too, because its less likely to be there. Please explain how this is Trolling.
Troll???
You dont think its possible for a snippet of code with a non accidental itsy bitsy subtle little flaw to be submitted exists? And that this person could later use this weakness to do bad things? This is possible amigo. Be under no illusions. It has happened and been caught. It is therefore nice for clever people to have a good look through the code again, because they might just see something fishy that they missed before.
hmm. Maybe... but, I feel good that people are looking really closely at where and who the code is comeing from. Sorry to be all paronoid and things, but, it is abundantly possible for backdoors etc to be secreted into the kernal, by someone clever, and for these to be not noticed. I actually seem to remember this actually was caught happening before.
I have no respect for the drivers privacy in this instance. None. He was traveling on a public road, with no consideration whatsoever of all other people.
People who drive cars recklessly make me sick... you are trundling around in a heavy chunk of metal, thats squashy on the inside, and hard on the outside. You are endangering everyone elses lives doing this. You must do everything reasonably possible to be as safe as you can.
If you want speed, be a real man (women are generally more intelligent) and buy a quick bike. Far quicker, and mistakes are far more severely punished.
This is exactly right though. People have seen what happens when you make up fantastic spurious legal cases the way SCO did. Your share prices rise. You make money. This is about making money... plain and simple. Who cares if you win or lose. You still win, thanks to the clever boys and girls on Wall Street.
So,
10 Give this to the Formal Methods boys and girls, let them find bugs.
20 Report Bugs.
30 Make bugs public to sensentionalist media and cause shit storm.
If (BugsFixed)
Goto 10;
Else
Goto 30;
Formal Methods people will just keep finding bugs till the whole thing is written in Z or something. And by then bush will be a very old man.
I hate to state the obvious, but if a company actually paid this much money to a completely random gang of extorters, with the best will in the world you have to ask if they deserve to be in business.
Its just so inconcievable, I cannot actually believe it.
Whats the story with Linus these days, he is getting fiesty about all sorts of things... this is very unlike him. What happened to the mild mannered Finn of formers years?
He must be still peeved about that SCO bollocks.
While its all very amusing to see him lifting Intel out of it, I sort of miss the zen like dryness/sarcasm of yesteryear.
