A few ioctls have been hardcoded for Linux, and there are some other includes and typedefs missing, too. Well, they're just starting out. Maybe they'll make it usable across the board eventually.
it struck me that we are probably in the last generation where truck driving is going to be a human job.
In those parts of the world where there are actual borders between countries, differing throughput ability at border control and customs posts and various regulations as to when lorries are actually allowed to drive, there will be human lorry drivers for the foreseeable future. Example: I do not see machines being able to bribe a Russian border official to get past the 20 km queue faster.
Finally somebody proposing an English actor to play an Englishman. I also vote for Christian Bale (ok, so he's Welsh, big deal), Jason Statham or Vinnie Jones to take the part. Ftw!

KDE 4.7.0 Released

Spaces is a terrible implementation of multiple desktops.
And you back your claims how exactly? Or is it just sufficient to blurt something out?
I switched from KDE 3.5.x to OS X 10.6 on the desktop at the end of 2007. Save a few glitches with Microsoft apps, there was absolutely nothing about Spaces that came up short in any way compared to KDE. Things have only got better since.
Kids get bored with the nice and safe equipment and get their kicks elsewhere. Make the playground too safe and they'll find their excitement on the train tracks. Literally. http://www.eadt.co.uk/news/children_play_chicken_with_freight_train_1_63264 is just one example. Also, keeping them in cotton boxes tends to nurture people with an entitlement complex. Zero data, I know, but you know it's true.
There actually is a market for those laptops, resolution notwithstanding: people whose work involves travelling, but also demands serious screen estate while on the road. I'd wager that many touring bands would definitely cough up some cash for that kind of laptop. You know, for recording the shows in multitrack and stuff like that. One screen for monitoring the input, the other for everything else. Combinations galore. Also, I know a few DJs who'd definitely be interested, and some construction engineers I've met would also welcome such an item.
In this European country, should I want to pursue a career in my general field of expertise which is international relations, I can only apply for an unpaid internship in the government, for there are none other available. Sometimes even those are in short supply.
You won't be able to push any more than 18 gigabytes in a minute through SATA-II and that's in theory. So theoretically one could read a 500 GB drive in ~28 minutes, but the drives just aren't nowhere near as fast. Then again, maybe your Barracua is many fold faster than Barracudas. I know my Sonny cassette player was faster than that from Sony.
On a similar note, my last Recbok sneakers broke in half and the Neki sweatshirts were conspicuously tissue-thin. It's a good thing I found Adibass to replace it. Now if I could find a BAFS or DTK tape for my Panascanic personal cassette player...
You do talk a lot in absolutes (never any contention, universally understood and agreed upon), but I do think this deserved to be posted at least for informing those who *haven't* seriously looked into the topic, which would be the overwhelming majority of people. Even on/.
And you've just spouted the usual Apple fanboi spiel!
Did you now not prove me right at least for 50% of what I said, namely that you'll instantly be labelled as an Apple fanboi? Perhaps even more so, since I was neither pro or anti-Apple and at no point did I mention whether I myself use Apple computers/gadgets/doodads or that those are the be all end all of personal computing. What I did was stating what I've observed, which some people found +4 Informative. Yet you went out of your way to find a context in which to use the word fanboi directed at somebody.
Quite the opposite seems to be true: if you dare to say anything about Apple that ranges from neutral to good (for example, I dare you post a comment where you're critical of hardware support in Linux and mention that you elected to go with Apple instead, because in your line of work, it lets you get said work done way more easily), you'll be instantly labelled an Apple fanboi and would probably be modded as such if the site so permitted. Just head to the most recent story about Apple being evil for not releasing latest WebKit LGPL code and browse through the comments.
Yeah, that's the black eye. The Jewish community was very small, the majority of them managed to flee from the Nazis to Russia, quite many were hidden from the Nazis by Estonians themselves, but a visible bunch were indeed murdered.
Really, knowing about all the countries in the world is good thing, but other than trivia value it's not that useful in your day to day life.
It's not as if anyone is requiring you to name every country's capital, population, main cities, GDP per capita etc. Just knowing a country exists and approximately in what part of the world is a good thing, especially when you happen to meet somebody from that country or have to do business with it. It also comes in handy when planning a trip. More, it can help you avoid looking like complete arse. ("Oh, Estonia, I thought you just mispronounced Australia. Yes, Estonia... It's somewhere in Africa, between China and Paris, yes?" — Actual story.) I am sure you can come up with a few other good ideas how to use knowledge to your benefit.
Even most of the so-called first world does not speak English as a native language. There are 500 million inhabitants in the EU alone, where there are exactly three countries where English is an official language: the UK, Ireland and Malta.
A friend of mine was looking for a new laptop a couple of months ago and had a limited budget. She'd narrowed her search down to a couple of Dells and Lenovos, but everything in her price range sucked for some reason or another: some had only VGA output, some had unusable touchpads, some had small hard disks and/or little RAM and every one of them had sucky integrated graphics. Then she realised she could get a 13-inch MacBook Pro for the same price and without any of the other machines' shortcomings. So my personal take is: the Windows laptop market looks cheaper at first glance, but once you filter out the crap, you'll soon realise that a good Windows laptop costs as much, if not more than a comparable Mac laptop. The Macs also age better and have a higher aftermarket value.
I did not exactly suggest it. I just said I was doing it and that I had encountered no issues with it. Your kilometrage may vary, I've only gone as far as mirroring and no heavy activity on the volumes. I basically wanted to communicate the fact that if you need the newer version for some reason, it can be done and where you can find it.
As for the NFSv4 ACL modules for Samba, they work just as you described and it's pretty neat.
I've been running ZFS v28 on FreeBSD 8.2 prereleases for quite some time now. More or less weekly patches are at http://people.freebsd.org/~mm/patches/zfs/v28/. I have not had anything to report to the maintainer and from what I see, he's mostly cleaning up the code to merit further patches, the functionality is all there already.
By that logic, your HP Envy 15 also has subpar hardware. And it looks suspiciously not unlike an Apple laptop.
There is really no minimum requirement for negative comments about Apple on any topic, so why post any random drivel? Besides, the specs are very nice, sufficiently cutting-edge, and it isn't really as if there's been a quantum leap in computer technology over the past 12 months.
Also, in order to address your misguided concern about their screen size: the 17-inch models' screen is 1920x1200. Nice, no?
Something horrible has also happened to the articles' previews in newsfeeds. The previous version used to be usable, but now not so much. I know I haven't upgraded NetNewsWire or changed its configuration in the meantime, so it must be Slashdot that's at fault here.

Yes, that's the whoosh you get when you read something in a foreign tongue while slightly drunk, at 3.25 in the morning.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I run FreeBSD and am no Apple fanboy. I do, however, call bullshit when I see it.
