In other news, my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night.
It's understandable if you're from Alabama. Since you are guaranteed to be at least three of those people.
when you say "Mach" and "GNU Mach", does this mean there are two different Mach's, one GNU and another non-GNU
Short answer: yes
Long answer: there were/are several different Machs. There's the original one CMU stopped developing awhile back. The FSF maintains a version of Mach, "GNU Mach" -- probably in order to run the Hurd. Various derivatives of Mach were also part of NextStep, OS/X, MkLinux, and OSF/1 (which evolved into Tru64). AFAIK, none of these were derived from "GNU Mach" (or vice versa).
There were other Mach efforts too. It would be interesting to see a Mach history chart (along the same lines as that Unix one that crops up every now and then.)
There was even a little saying that went round Microsoft during the time that one major version of DOS was being developed: "DOS isn't done until Lotus won't run".
That was DOS 2.0. I guess that makes me an old fart.
I would prefer the void of death to the destroyed life of jail
I apologize in advance, but it's fairly obvious you haven't thought this through.
A friend of mine got off parole awhile back for selling weed; he now has a life, a steady girlfriend and a house. For a more popular example, google "Tim.Allen drugs" (even though I think he's a schmuck).
Jail is just a stumbling block. Death, OTOH, is permanent.
Of course, I suppose you could get unlucky/stupid and die in jail, negating my point.
None of the people at ID whom make the games even write.plan files anymore. QuakeFinger is basicly dead. What's up with that?
.plan files were good when they were focused on technical commentary. Then everybody hopped on the bandwagon, and the majority of.plans became whiny blog substitutes (props to levelord, though).
Everything has its time. It's good they went when they did.
We will produce a handful and send them to the nearest stars. They will then replicate themselves using raw materials available at those stars and move on.
Well, in my particular setup I care about total hd space, not speed -- I have enough memory for the working set of programs I tend to use.
*If* you're not particularly worried about hd speed, a slow-rpm hd means less money spent, better reliability, (possibly) less power drawn, and (possibly) runs quieter and cooler. If the drive is cool enough, you don't need to buy a fan for it, and can repeat all those advantages I just mentioned.
It you're going to go pascal, you might take another step and try Ada -- it's pretty much an industrial-strength pascal, and there's a GNU compiler for it (gnat).
Just ignore all the additional syntactic sugar (generics, threading model, oo crap) until you feel you need it.
Oh and get a good book for it too. The RM is complete, but... a bit obtuse.
Actually, I'd like to see the entire chain of command incarcerated, including Ms. England (but with progressively stiffer sentences as you went up the chain).
These chips, distantly related to the 68k motorolas
Can you elaborate. I thought ColdFire was basically a 68060 w/out an MMU. Does it have new instructions -- or strip out a few -- compared to 68k, (like the Power->PowerPC transition)? What else is different?
What was the name of that Agatha Christie novel where it turned out "the perfect crime" was subtly persuading others to commit the crime for you through the power of suggestion? And Peirot had to murder the perfect murderer?
Sure, it was abhorrent behavior on our part. But shit happens in the name of interrogation.
It certainly does; doesn't make it right. More practically, "We will fully abide by the Geneva Conventions, unless it's inconvenient for us" sends a message of hypocrisy and gives enemies an excuse to treat U.S. prisoners with the same disregard.
And, if we could ask Nick Berg which kind of treatment he would choose, and I bet he'd have switched places with anyone at that prison...
Do you recall there were a couple of
potential homicides, some involving interrogators, that were being investigated at those prisons. None of us knows how those people died.
The Irish Presidency explains on its website that it is sponsored by Microsoft
It's my understanding that Microsoft used to not take an interest (relatively speaking) in governmental affairs. They had a fairly low number of lobbyists in Washington etc.
..which is just another way of saying "perception is relative".
The "klingons" probably look down on roleplayers.. or those idiots who camp out at the new Star Wars premieres.. or those 50-year-old guys who dress as Sailor Moon (yeah, I read machall).. or -- heaven forbid -- linux weenies.
In fact, somebody out there thinks you are the lowest of the low, and ya know what? Fuck 'em.
(Believers in evolution should have fun explaining why traits that are more pro-survival are recessive than those that are not.)
Nothing (including evolution) prevents a less desired trait from being dominant. In fact it's quite common. Huntington's Disease and Marfan Syndrome for example are both autosomal dominant disorders.
The question you're really trying to ask is: why are autosomal-dominant disorders as common as they are, since presumably, carriers would weed themselves out more quickly than carriers of autosomal-recessive disorders.
But if it comes down to that vs. self-hatred as a burger flipper, choose the six figures
don't give up on any of the things that got you interested in computers in the first place just because you can't seem to find your happiness in a cubicle
But beware the "all your code are belong to us" employment agreements.. get started on your pet project before you take that job so you can claim it as pre-existing work.
you will never be happy working for someone else, you will only be happy pursuing your own interests
You know, that's a good reason to never get married or have kids..
Hmmm considering half of Canada is frozen tundra, those extra fat rolls probably come in handy for insulation. You might live longer when you fall through the ice.
You know, being really hairy would probably help too.
Actually, US cannot let the dollar to get too weak or the oil exporting countries will switch over to using Euro instead of the US dollar... that would mean serious problems for the US economy
Why is that, exactly? If the US dollar gained strength after the switch, then the US is fat and happy. Is it the new instability of the price of oil that would screw the US? Or a domino effect of other investors switching to the Euro? Or something else?
After the huge box office ratings of the ("The Passion of the Christ"), you can pretty much guarantee at least a couple more sequels including a buddy flick with Chris Rock as the comic relief sidekick.

I suppose it's too late to make Java a trademark (wait.. already done) and only allow standards-compliant implementations to call themselves "Java"?
Or make some snazzy certification test called "PureJava" or somesuch, and every vendor gets to certify themselves against it?
Short answer: yes

This is Probe 2418-B on a peaceful mission.
Priority over-ride. New behavior dictated.

They sure learned fast, didn't they.

Is debian-sparc out of date, and if so, how? (I wouldn't know.. just curious.)

I disagree as well, but only because I know too many guys with man-boobs.
You know, being really hairy would probably help too.
Can any other Indian linux-philes confirm this trend? This is the first I've heard of it.
Try googling for 'online bible'. Ahh, the power of the internet.

I think they called that Dogma.
The machine needs more work then, unless you actually have nine fingers.
