5 THE COURT: Well, we'll see, won't we? We'll see. 6 And if what she's telling me is wrong, I won't be very happy 7 with her. 8 So let's set another conference date for July 8th at, 9 say, 10 a.m. And hopefully you will have an attorney by then.
July 8? This is Sept 1. Has anyone found a transcript from their July 8 conference? I want to read Part 2!
"According to epidemiologist John Ioannidis..."

Is there any wonder why a MD would think scientific papers are bogus?
Maybe he should pick up some physics, chemistry, math, and biology journals.
For all you know, you won't see IE8 until 4-5 years from now.
I think people have (for the most part) stopped considering Netscape 4 in their design... it'll probably take a while for people to stop considering the fscked up nature of IE too. The sooner people switch, the sooner people can stop adding in these javascript "if browser=IE" crap.
It seems that Apple has chosen to use the Trusted Platform Module chip to ensure that Mac OS X can only run on Apple Hardware. The report from vnunet states that the chips contain a unique identifier, which can be used to determine the manufacturer of a PC as well as facilities for data encryption.
All they need to do now is do this to a virus... then maybe we can give the virus a virus.
Kinda funny, but it would be cool if it led to the desctuction of aids.
Just put a smoke bomb in the computer and rig i to a remote control. The next time that your kid is playing and really, I mean REALLY kicking ass during the game... set the smoke bomb off and hit the circuit breaker.
Then he'll think it's his own fault.
If you are going to lie about removing thwe game, why make it look like YOU screwed up when you can make it look like it's all HIS fault?
Are we looking at yet another awe inspiring structure to be on a terrorists list of possible targets?
Or maybe France has disagreed with the US to somewhat "shield" them from the threat?
Minneapolis City Council Member Dean Zimmermann has produced a 68-station Personal Rapid Transit Plan for the City of Minneapolis.
What is personal rapid transit?
It's a matrix of rails which carry pods. The user goes to a pod station and enters the pod and tells it where you would like to go and then it figures out the route to take.
Here are some links

I'd rather see the city legalize standing electric
scooters than investing money on this system, but the city council doesn't like that mode of transportation, I guess.
For different compliers? I'm not sure. People have commented that compiling for 686 instead of 386 makes little difference.
Recompiling takes some time and is only worth it if the speed-up will save you more time than the amount of time used to compile it. I would guess that one could not gain a speed-up that would offset the amount of time used to recompile before upgrading to the next fedora core - they have a pretty fast release schedule - which would require another recompile.
If one never upgraded their machine and a recompile gave slightly better performance, then the performance would surely pay off the time recompiling as time goes to infinity, but that's of little use.
The answer depends on if you want it included in the Fedora Extras repository or on the distribution disks. You might want to visit http://fedora.us and http://fedora.redhat.com (under participate).
Here is an extended discussion from the devel mailing list. The link is to the question; just follow the links within to read the discussion.

I've read a similar discussion making this same point... I forget the link off hand, but suffice it to say that the problem is not JUST with DVD-R, but with DVD+R too... the DVD-R camp is trying to find a solution before putting it out on the market, but the DVD+R camp isn't.
DVD+R might gain short-term prominence through the strategy, but the argument makes me wonder if DVD-R would gain long-term prominence by waiting to "get it right".
Well, many swear by those "Q-Ray" braclets.

Apparently those "work" by having magnets in them. I think it's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard in my life, but that's just me. If you can put a magnet that fits on someone's wrist, then there's already a community of lunatics waiting to buy them.
The fedora website says that it's distros will be supported for a certain (small) length of time.
However, after reading through the fedora-legacy mailing list, it appears that many people are unhappy with that idea. Certain people would like to see releases immediately before a major change supported for as long as people choose to support it. The fedora-legacy project already supports RH 7.2, 7.3, and 8.0 with the intention of supporting 9.0 when it EOLs.
I expect that FC1 will be supported for some time since FC2 moves away from the 2.4 kernel.
I believe the thought that one has to continually upgrade their foedora distro to the latest release may be a misconception spawned from the initial intent of the project... I think we may see it morph into something quite different from what was initially announced.
I manage a small linux cluster work (~18 procs) and a small cluster (5 procs) at home. Say, for example, we were rendering povray (http://www.povray.org) animations. Instead of having a single proc munch through each frame of the animation, it would be more efficient to give each frame it's own proc... spreading the animation rendering out across many machines. The different machines need to communicate with the cluster server letting it know if a job is running or if the proc(s) are free for use. They also have to communicate information like: renice this job, this job will be killed in 5 minutes, so finish up, and I have completed - here is an error report.
It's also common for the nodes to share a common nfs directory to read in input files and spit out output files.
There are some free cluster batch systems (the core cluster communication system) like the sun grid engine and there are some free cluster scheduling resource managers (the program which says "this person has been dominating the cluster, let someone else use it for awhile) like maui... there are even some non-"free", open source versions (like OpenPBS).
It would be convienent if the process of clustering was built in. It can be a pain to search the net and patch source code to get things to compile and what-not.
In addition, many of the free clustering software packages don't scale well for large clusters. Some of them start to puke when you try to connect 100-or-so systems to them... and if you want better scalability, companies offer software at a cost.
I can identify with laboriously trying to install mysql.
Then I heard of yum.
You really don't have to deal with compiling programs... you really don't have to worry about installing rpms... hell, you really don't have to worry about finding it on the internet.
All you really need to be able to do is know the name of the program.
Then "yum install program" or "yum update program".
If your distro keeps a yum repo, then you don't have to wait for the next release of the distro to come out. You just have to wait for someone to put it in yum. I mean, I hear people saying that they probably won't get the new KDE until some distro version down the road... but if their distro is like (for example) fedora, then it's just a matter of time before it'll be available through a mechanism which is stupid simple to install.

It's official.
No one can moderate in this topic because everyone has commented.
Feel free to flame away - no one can stop you now,
not that it's detered you in the past.
I would have marked myself +2 funny... or insightful. I do my own moderating now.
"But Firefox doesn't pass the acid2 test either."
This is an important criticism.
Firefox gets updated fairly frequently.

How is this question not moot once the very next slashdot story is posted.

Your dual processor board now supports 4 processors with a bios update. I guess 4 is better than 2.
If one is "tech savy" enough to buy one of these computers, they're really going to drool over this pentium 2 I wanna get rid of.
I can't even imagine how much crack they could smuggle in that thing. I didn't RTFA, how much crack did they find?
