At the time, they didn't have an alternative. CVS has been stagnant for quite some time. Bitkeeper arose from conversations between the McVoy and Linus. McVoy wanted to help Linus (and probably himself) and had knowledge of SCM systems, so he built one.
I have no idea if BK is any good, but I do know there are flaws with CVS and it's free kin. Arch hasn't caught on, and Subversion development has been painfully slow (first release was in 2000/10) and it seems like a very heavy installation. Features like internationalization and supporting symlinks won't even make it into v1.0 (which should be out sometime shortly before duke nukem...)
I remember aegis from around 1995 or so when I read this report and it was free back then.
I was originally going to mod this down, mainly because it should not matter if the site requires registration or not. Use a fake yahoo/excite/whatever email and fahgetaboudit. Accessing sites requiring paid registrations would not make too much sense, but I can forsee a good story on a site that provides reliably good content that requires a pay-to-view.
Anyway, since slashdot is OSS and OSS claims to innovate, why doesn't someone figure this out? Rough stab:
- create an easy form for sites to access when notified of an incoming/.ing. Yes, No, Cache. - If cached, provide statistics back to the client.
It's not like/. stories are timely, so waiting 6 hours for a site's response is not a big deal. Give them 4 hours (based on their timezone...) and then post the link.
If I had to recommend two, it would be these two. They are also more in line with what you already have mentioned ("respectable" jazz?) As always, Amazon is your friend, until they sell your personal info to asian spammers, but you can listen to samples...
Unfortunately, most of the Jazz I hear on the radio that I like has been out of print for decades... Temple's radio station used to be all Jazz but when they acquired a classical library from a failed classical station they became a mediocre classical station that played jazz occasionally. You can see their playlists, though, and listen, I think.
The Crusaders, The Golden Years - A greatest hits type of collection. Two of these three discs are really good, with the third being so-so.
There's swing jazz, like the Brian Setzer Orchestra(the albums are good, but he's great live).
There's guitar jazz like Al DiMeola (a little eclectic for some, though, try Casino or Splendido Hotel, though don't try to use either of these as "mood" music...) and Larry Carlton (played with the crusaders and steely dan). Acoustic Alchemy is excellent.
Someone else already mentioned Bela Fleck, but I wouldn't bother with anything except the first 3 albums. The first two are by far the best, and after the third they become kinda boring. Sinister Minister is the best example of their work. Try Greatest Hits of the 20th Century
Regardless of Whitman's qualifications (which never seem to matter in politics anyway), outside of Newark, Camden, Trenton, and NYC medical waste dumping, NJ isn't doing too bad environmentally.
A large portion of South Jersey (we did try to secede a few decades back...) is protected forest, the NW corner is part of the Appalacian Trail, and there are still farms all over the place (hold your nose near the turf farms, though).
The tree cutting has gotten worse, but what do you want?, NJ is stuck between the second largest city (NYC) in the world and Philly (which has little going for it).
Chances are, the prof has been using these notes since the dawn of time. I had one professor who had notes that looked 30 years old, paper scrawled in illegible chicken scratch, and fraught with errors. Most of the time, the same professor will teach the same class for quite a few years because it is easier to teach something you are familiar with than learn the ins and outs of the latest technology, otherwise it would interfere with research.
Don't for a minute think that the professors are there to teach you. A few enjoy teaching, but most are there for research.
Fortunately, the Verdana font looks fine in Jext without anti-aliasing, so that's what I use
Do people really use proportional fonts when writing code???? I use andale mono or Lucida Console, myself. I love that the code looks cool with proportional fonts, but nothing ever lines up properly.
The disk thrashing is due to some periodic process that runs when you boot. Mandrake 8 had this and it took me a while to figure out it was starting from the init.d scripts because it seemed to be delayed (i.e. I'd be playing RtCW and all of a sudden get major lag from the disk thrashing...)
basic XML is readable and editable, but they are throwing so many kitchen appliances into XML (namespaces, XPATH, etc...) such that it is practically unreadable and uneditable. There are so many "standards" for XML right now that it is practically impossible to follow all of them.
Actually, there is some kook psychologist. mentioned in my friend's textbook in college, who has a theory that all people who have fixations on technological whozawhatzits are necropheliacs...

How scary is that, something developed more slowly than Mozilla.
I liked pinball but the backwards and forwards buttons seemed flaky because they wouldn't work unless you hit them correctly. I then found the orbit theme here and like it better.
The problem is that there are few good math instructors that can relate math to the real world.
The most common math instructor follows the book, example for example, and then tests you on similar things. Students end up going through the motions.
The worst instructor does the above and then tests you on extreme extrapolations of the simple examples.
The best instructor ignores the book's examples, points out the tricky stuff, why it is tricky, and other ways to look at the problem. They also relate the material to real life. The exams are a combination of stuff that was taught and a variety of extrapolations. (if the mean on an exam is 35/100, your exam or teaching is probably at fault, though an entire class of apathetic students is possible.)
In general, math majors are the only people who really care about the classes as everyone else is required to take them in addition to their major. Non-math majors see no immediate relevance to what is being taught.
1) Define Customer. If you are only going to get one domain, it requires you to exist as separate org entities. The domain name defines you, so something like mozilla.org under your plan would be mozilla.netscape.com. Mozilla.org would be owned by someone else and confusion would arise because people would go to mozilla.org looking for a browser.
(Mozilla.org was originally registered by JWZ, but I don't know if he did it in his name or Netscape's. He also had jwz.org at that point which would have prevented him from doing this.)
2) dove.com should be required to provide a list of alternate sites (name, brief description) the user may have been looking for, within reason. E.G., dove ice cream bars could could get listed at dove.com as an alternate by just asking.
3) Your renewal rule makes sense, but w/o renewal, who will maintain the domain databases? It costs too much money to maintain large, important servers for a company to be responsible for without some means to pay for the service.
Personally, I feel the gov't should have continued to maintain them in the public's interest. However, certain laws would need to be put in place to make sure other countries get fair and equal treatment.
In the past, a community of people dontated their time and effort to put out fires. If the fire department were commercialized, the cost to put out fires would skyrocket and be less effective. Eventually, there would be firemen's union demanding more benefits, more money and less work. (Right now I think there are FM unions, but since they are gov't employees they aren't allowed to strike.)
Government control of important services is a requirement because greed and power are too important in a capitalist nation.
Reporting is what makes these programs useful. I've used Quicken in the past to generate reports to see where money is going and whatnot and then compare between months and years.
The real problem is entering the data, and not all banks record enough information about the transaction. When you download the data, the transactions might report the company processing the transaction for the company you actually purchased from.
QA would be expensive in your world. How many millions have been lost due to black hat QA? Most of the easy bugs have been found and opening MS source would allow the hard ones, and potentially more dangerous, to be discovered and exploited. As much as I dislike capitalism, money still matters. Maybe MS has 40B on hand for expected law suit losses?
Security through obscurity is all MS has left until it finishes patching code, which could be a while regardless of how successful February's bug hunt was.
Microsoft argues that were they to provide any greater technical detail about protocols and APIs, it would make computers running their operating system far more vulnerable to cracking attacks.
I'm not sure about the depth of the State's API and protocol information requests, but this is a perfectly valid statement if you assume detail means code, and it applies to OSS as well. By providing your source code, you provide black hats with an easily accessible opportunity to find your mistakes and use them against you. This is a fact you cannot avoid.
Of course, just describing how your protocols or APIs work should not be a security risk in most cases, unless MS has cut too many corners. As to whether we would see a noticeable increase in MS exploits, your guess is as good as mine.
Slashdot Mirror
Dell has refurbished 20" 1600x1200 LCDs for US$850. This is much cheaper than a 20" trinitron of 5 years ago. So price is not that unreasonable.
As for rarity, you are right on. I have not seen any sub-20", non-laptop LCDs that do more than 1280x1024.

Every immigrant emigrated from somewhere.
Where was this when I posted (probably where my clue was)? It first appeared that you were taking him to task like the other respondant.
My apologies...
The title implied it was time for him to leave his country.
Then he listed options.
You can't immigrate without emigrating first, and in order to immigrate, you need a destination.
