I can think of at least 4 games called "football" :
1) "American" - IINM, mainly played in (north) America, where it is referred to as "football", 2) "Australian-rules" - mainly played in Australia, where (from "Neighbours") I understand it's referred to as "Footie", 3) "Rugby league" - played in many Commonwealth countries, usually referred to as "Rugby", 4) "Rugby union" - played mainly in the UK, I think, 5) "Association" (or "soccer" for short) - played in all countries in the world and mostly referred to as "football".
(I may have rugby union and league mixed up).
I'll bet there are a few other versions of 'football' that I haven't though of. Anyone?
If my memory servers me correctly, VAX hostnames (must have been some strange DEC network) were case sensitive too....but my memory is crap, so I'm probably wrong.
Existing Microsoft users won't suddenly be unable to use their OSes. Sure, they (probably) won't get support, but the problems wouldn't happen immediately, and solutions can be found pretty quickly once theirs an incentive (ie reason to do so).
IMO, that's about as likely as Microsoft actually paying such a fine.
I mean, seriously, what's to stop Microsoft from just saying they aren't going to pay. Has the EU really got the balls to stop them trading (in EU)?
I, for one, don't think so. I wish they did, but...no. There'll be some big argument over the whole thing and they'll come to some 'compromise', just like they did in the US.
Not exactly sure why my post was rated 'off topic'....strange. Aqua effects the 'beauty' (visual and otherwise) of all OS X apps (well, I suppose an X11 app could be called an OS X app, but I don't think that's what they mean).
> Bottom line: The solution linked is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist because in a professional enviroment everyone can decide for themselves how their code is displayed, how large tabs are and if they're automatically converted into spaces if I want to use edlin.
Really? In almost all professional environments I've known, such things as this are included in the coding standards for the company. IIRC, the width of an indentation has never been the same at any two companies...I always use VIM, and have it replace my tabs with spaces, so it's never been a problem - for me or anyone else (who's following the standards).
I just switched my Powerbook to Ubuntu. So, now I get the added advantage of no composite video out and other 'goodies'. I'm tempted to switch back, but I really don't like Aqua (apart from the look).
The point is not to make them smaller - it is to make them all one file. Of couse, smaller is better too.
I wonder how the microsoft backup too would work in this situation. Backup to a file, copy the file, then restore from it. I've done it in the past, though not for the same reason, and it's worked...not sure about speed.
Clearly, moving the disk would be the best option. I often use a firewire Wiebetech Drive (useful to have around if you often find the need to do such things) dock to perform a similar task - it'd mean you don't have to open one of the cases, at least.
On a side note, why is http://www.wiebetech.com/ inaccessible from China - it's been inaccessible (at least) ever since I arrived here 3 years ago? Groklaw was blocked for a while, but is now ok; Wikipedia seems to come and go ('go' at the moment); even slashdot occasionally does not work; but wiebetech's web site has consistently never worked. Yes, I try from multiple access points...
I tried that. It doesn't seem to make any difference - I can have it capped at 1% (upload and download0 and running amule still makes the connection pretty much unusable (and, as I said, causes the DD-WRT web server to stop responding). I'll have to do more (scientific, instead of 'just fiddling with knobs') tests to find out exactly what the problem is.
I use a couple of them and do have some trouble. (both dd-wrt v2.3).
Most of the time, they work just fine.
However... When I run bt or [ea]mule, I have to be very careful not to exceed some limit, which I've not really completely identified yet (connection limit perhaps, but I'm still not sure), else all other users will not be able to use the connection. I tried the QoS function, but didn't see any difference. Probably me, but anyway.
Also, I do find that the web server that you use to configure it often seems to not respond, requiring a power cycle. It's often after the load has been very heavy (amule, usually). I don't know if it crashes or what.
On the other hand... I configured one to run different subnets on each of the 4 ports (and wireless too) - a bit messyto set up, but it worked. I never had one crash resulting in loss of connectivity.
Overall... It's good, but it's far from perfect. I don't own a $400 router, so I can't compare.
I've used FC4 successfully to do cross platform development for mobile phones.
I tried to move to ubuntu, but it was missing some old versions of libraries*... maybe they're around somewhere, but nobody was able to help me, so I aborted my switch attempt.
I 'poo poo' all those 'rpm hell' comments. I use the 'smart package manager' and have no problems, ever :
Indeed. With s/w RAID, you can get one big slow disk that is the same size as the RAID partition (or just bigger) and do a RAID0 onto it - then fail it and take it away to some other safe place.
Right. I don't think SGI's lack of success is much to do with the IR line - more like it's *despite* the IR line. I also don't really think IR is all that similar to a direct bus attached graphics set. XIO was more analogous to PCI/et al, IIRC (but it's been a while...), and fairly slow compared to the internal buses.
Now the Indy XL/O2/320/540 (and some of the Integraph products too, IIRC) are another matter - I'd say those graphics chips were pretty tightly integrated. However, they didn't have their own dedicated memory, so perhaps they're dissimilar in that respect.
Of course, the O2's ICE chip was nicely placed and underappreciated IMO - not strictly graphics (well, not in the same way), but there you go...

"the other football"?

(I may have rugby union and league mixed up).

I thought it rather appropriate that SGI computers were used for designing something that is so often underwater...
From my post, clearly not.
Perhaps it was the other way around....anyway. Pointless post, I suppose.
If my memory servers me correctly, VAX hostnames (must have been some strange DEC network) were case sensitive too. ...but my memory is crap, so I'm probably wrong.
USB connectors aren't bad. It's all those RJ connectors I hate. The little clip bits are always getting caught on stuff and often snap off.
At least they're ubiquitous, but I'd prefer something like USB or firewire connectors for the same purpose.
Ok, so they have to move some assets around....I guess it might take some time, I suppose....

Curious.
> If people still have shares in SCO yet, they are either complete idiots or have a broker that should be hung!
Well, *someone* must have them...I mean, they only get traded. If no one wants to buy them, then you're stuck with them.
I wonder what kind of liability comes with owning the shares....

I wasn't trying to say 'much', just that FC4 worked for me. He was asking about that, right?
I've used FC4 successfully to do cross platform development for mobile phones.

I 'poo poo' all those 'rpm hell' comments. I use the 'smart package manager' and have no problems, ever :
http://labix.org/smart
Unlike apt-get, it's able to install packages of multiple architectures too (useful for AMD64).
* I'm running FC4 on AMD64, so perhaps that was an issue too - I forget exactly.
..but then what would they use this new device for?
I always thought it was a waste to have all those electrons flow just to represent a '1' instead of a '0'.
:)
Now they only need one electron - cool
I guess you could call him some kind of 'Robin Hood'.
If I had done what he'd done, and was now regretting it, I think I'd probably be doing what's he's doing, or even more so - yes, definitely more so.

What product was that, exactly?
Don't you mean, "Must not loose!"? You are from the USA, right?
