how can this possibly be considered sufficient? over in x-windows land, where copy and paste is as inconsistent as can be, it'd be fine. but with windows, you expect ctrl+c to copy, ctrl+v to paste. when you are on the CLI, you should be able to work completely with the keyboard. theres no fucking reason for those not to work in 2005
personally, i prefer the detached pilot to the naked searching. jetblue already has metal doors only unlockable from the pilot side
i'm about to get calous. in the event of a hijack/terrorist attempt, i should hope that the pilot turns off all comm with the cabin, so he can't be influenced by the gutwrenching events that may ensue. b/c, when it comes down to it, at that point the terrorist has some gauranteed kills if they want them. those passengers are dead, and its very unfortunate. the pilot can't assume that complying with the terrorists is going to save that little girl's life. you can't negotiate with a terrorist, because it legitimizes them. when the crash the plane into a huge building, the little girl will be incinerated. by not giving in to any of the terrorists demands, we can land the plane and capture the criminal on the ground. he and his friends will go to jail for hundreds of years for killing a cabin full of unarmed passengers. you can't put a price on an individual life, but you can try to reduce a massive loss of life.
so, science should be decided by a vote? that seems reasonable. by a show of hands, how many people think boobies are awesome? *looks around* ok, its been proven, scientifically: Boobies are awesome.
A snapshot could be used in the legal proceedings of an old crime. If I commit a crime, and the law changes before I'm prosecuted, I'm not bound by the new law, but by the old (and only by the old law's punishment requirements). So, this could be useful.
I always recommend to mac users not to partition their drives. There is little gained from partitioning in OSX; The only place I've noticed partitioning to be really useful is with Linux. Its nice and all, to separate different kinds of data onto different partitions. But, in my experience, a partition will inevitably run out of space and then you have to (a) cross partition boundaries or (b) nix the drive and start again. (a) just goes against the whole idea of partitioning, and (b) is way too much work for most people w/o backups.
As for backups, I think its preferable to have external media: drive or discs. that way when/if the computer melts/implodes, you can still have that media. But, I tend to live on the edge. When a drive fails (which happens pretty often for me) I rely on my brain to replenish everything. It's annoying, but I can usually rewrite all my important stuff from my head.
They did fill it out. They just forgot the new cover sheet. You see, we started putting this new cover sheet on all the TPS reports. They just have to fill it out and put it on top. I'm gonna go ahead and ask that they start using them.
applenova was also mentioned in this legal mess (i read some threads there about it yesterday or before; fyi, applenova.com was a forum created after some issues arose between some former members/mods of appleinsider and the management at appleinsider).
anyway, applenova seems to be down. anyone know what happened to the site? i cant even resolve the hostname anymore.

When was the last time a Windows release felt any pressure from a competitor?
When did Apple first start development on the Macintosh?

Cuz its 3 orders of magnitude faster?
...with the added benefit of melting your legs.
What was that? Did someone hear someone say something about an iPod?
This is why you are on slashdot and I'm out fucking... i mean... well... YOU'RE A GEEK! ;)
But can it run Linux? Seriously though. How far off is that?
hey, don't ruin my hopes and dreams.

I thought republicans were supposed to be all about smaller federal/stronger local government. WTF?
