I watched this last year in the UK (TV highlights), and the 60 yard sprint (or whatever it is) was so funny - spectators end up cheering on the losers as they finish like 5 minutes behind the winners.
The swimming is great fun too.
Now the rope climbing bots are something else, let alone the high jump!
Great fun to watch.
It was the BABY!!! Hell have no fury like a T-Rex mother scorned... That helicopter is gonna get it's arsed kicked, and get mauled around like it is a toy and pushed down a cliff in really heavy down pour, but WAIT... it gets caught in power cables *sparks*, and most of the world's lights goes out.........
Yes. Did you know, humans have an average of about 1.8 legs each (and eyes, and arms, etc. etc.). Anything can be done with a few figures, even more so when the way it is done is hidden (Governments use similar maths wizardry).
They can do/say all they wish about Linux. What they forget is 'Linux' isn't a tangible entity. It's a bit like shadow boxing.
Nobody owns it (apart from !SCO), anybody can release their/a version of it, and more important, all the coders and developers don't really give a shit who uses it.
People that USE it though know the truth, and my Financial Manager likes it too, even though he doesn't really know what it is. He knows what £0:00 is, though.:)
'algorithm' was wrong to use. I meant 'formula' in that numbers need to be tested to be prime, you cannot deduce by applying a known interation - hence why it takes such a long time to compute proof of a possible candidate.
In the UK the price of a human life is about 5 years in prison, maybe let off to 3 years with good behaviour. But rob a bank (i.e. go against the state) you will be looking at a minimum of 25 years in prison.
The compiler will always produce asm better than a human, but you have to remember - GIGO (garbage in, garbage out).
Make the code EASY to read and logical... 5 lines is better than trying to get it in 1 line - the compiler will still produce the same end product, anyway.
Totally agree. You haven't a clue what is supposed to there in the first place, as it's all secret squirrel closed shop crap, so how the hell can you tell a root'ed box anyway.
When the worm hit the UK, the tape answer machine overheated "You have dialled an incorrect number... you have dialled an incorrect number... you have dialled an inco.....Pppppppppppppppppp"

It is hard to get a 'true' test on what is this and what is that, especially security.
What needs to be done is _not_ an independent review sponsored by MS, but a review by all parties not sponsored by anyone.
MS always use it FUD.
Why not get a panel from ALL current OS and do similar?
Tut.
We know why that will never happen.
BTW, did the guys involved have to pay the full wack on Windows server 2003 btw?
MS or researchers. One wins $$ and one wins $$...

African or European swallow?
I didn't know coconuts 'sneaked' away from predators away? What do they do, roll away innocently whistling?
Independent survey, I hope you mean? Otherwise it is no worse than the paper...

I have never understood why you need a DB type meta search on your own computer either.
The sooner somebody steals my ID the better! They are welcome to my debt and TAXES I pay.

I never was a student... dipped out AGAIN

You may mock - but GCC was the only *free* compiler around that Linus could use, plus the GNU tools (bash, grep etc. etc.).
You can't get 'too many' open source kernels. All right, the HURD is old, and development is slow. But at least it is another choice.
Consider the alternative if GNU project wasn't started by RMS... even Linux wouldn't have been around...
The obligatory scream:
O ooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
AaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooOOOOO
MS will stop their silly little game and sue on PATENTS everything W&G have 'invented'. Either that or buy them out and make Gromit CTO...
They will hack the tin foil hats whatever... never give up until you succeed.

Looking at the MS licencing, Bill Gates would perhaps be the only person able to afford to run this...

A lot of it is to do with number theory research. No one knows the extent of prime numbers, nor indeed an algorithm to find them.
SCO are looking at legal action due to them copying, publishing AND comfirming their binary Linux code...

Does this mean Bush will be able to run for a 3rd term?
