My understanding of the situation is that right now, this story is only being carried by Fox News. If it's confirmed by a real news organization, then I'll definitely pay attention to it - until then, I'll proceed on the assumption that it's bullshit.
If you took the money that went into making "Waterworld" and "Van Helsing" you'd almost have $400 mil. Throw in "King Arthur", and you've got an extra $35 million left over. (Source)
I would gladly have sacrificed those gems of cinematography for the sake of space exploration.
Java is by far the worst offender here. The current version is simultaneously known as 6 and 1.6; which is still better than the previous one, which was either "1.5", "5", or "Java 2 Standard Edition, version 5.0" depending on who you asked.
I installed Ubuntu on a dual-monitor system. It worked perfectly, right out of the box. I'm only using 1 video card, which might have something to do with it.
This used to be a major annoyance. Nowadays, Java integration is just fine, mostly due to Sun's open-sourcing it. On Ubuntu, you can install Java just like any other package:
OK, you're right. The embed tag and the SWF file do not have to be on the same site. But splitting them up this way lowers the potential impact of the exploit, since it requires a user to go to both sites.
Right. Which is why we need better energy-storage technologies. If you can store excess generated power, you can deal with variations in supply (and demand).
All right... all right... but apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order... what have the Romans done for us?
9.5 mil for re-designing a website seems suspiciously high, even for a federal contract. Does the contract include other services that aren't mentioned in the summary?
A hundred yards? That's nothing. The last time I was in Manhattan, it wasn't uncommon to see two Starbux on the opposite sides of the same intersection.
Since we're talking about Final Cut data, it's safe to assume that it's all coming from Macs. The version of cp on Mac OS doesn't take either of those options, so it's a moot point.
Time Machine is probably the way to go. It's integrated into Mac OS, and it's ridiculously easy to set up. I don't know how it scales up, but I'd be very surprised if it couldn't handle 12TB.
I too, have not seen an algorithm (cryptographic or otherwise) that allows voters to verify their votes after they leave their polling place without making it susceptible to manipulation or identity leakage of some kind.
That's because a system like that is impossible. If you can verify your vote after leaving the booth, it defeats the whole point of a secret ballot.
Does it even need to be a run-time option? A single installation will always run on the same hardware, more or less, so what's the point? Just make it a compile-time setting. Distros can decide which scheduler is right for them, or offer a choice of kernels with either one or the other.
As far as finales are concerned, "The Sopranos" rivals and probably bests "The Prisoner" in the "fuck you" department
Excellent point.
remember that McGoohan wanted to film only 10 episodes, but the production company told him "no", it had to be 16
Is that how it went down? The way I heard it, McGoohan wanted to keep the show going, but his corporate masters canceled the show early (for being too damn weird, most likely).
Slashdot Mirror
I have noticed that when I take it, I am more "motivated". I get up out of my chair and do stuff, rather than surf, say, slashdot.
You need to up your dosage.

Another way to look at it:

currently, 30% of doctors are female
That's the US, mind you. In Europe it's close to 50/50 (I'm too lazy to look up the numbers).
He already did fork it: http://askmonty.org/wiki/index.php/MariaDB
So I'm really not sure what he's complaining about.
The middle of the canal is 26 meters above sea level. So if you opened all the locks, the water would just drain out on both ends.

Java should be better integrated
This used to be a major annoyance. Nowadays, Java integration is just fine, mostly due to Sun's open-sourcing it. On Ubuntu, you can install Java just like any other package:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
OK, you're right. The embed tag and the SWF file do not have to be on the same site. But splitting them up this way lowers the potential impact of the exploit, since it requires a user to go to both sites.
If your site serves user-uploaded files and allows users to insert arbitrary HTML into the pages, you've already got big problems.

two desktop environments, three word processors, four web browsers, and a whole bunch of image editors, system utilities, file managers
And I still can't run Internet Explorer.
The Indians will distract you by staging an elaborately choreographed musical number, allowing the Chinese to sneak in and use their ninjitsu powers.
Trains are also much less vulnerable than planes. If there's a major malfunction on a plane, it crashes; a train just stops.

How many software engineers does it take to change a light bulb?
None; that's a hardware problem.
How many hardware engineers?
None; we'll leave the burned-out bulb in place, and work around it in software.

I think the parent poster meant #6, not #2.
